description: To measure the last unknown $3ν$ oscillation parameter ($δ$), several long baseline neutrino experiments have been designed or proposed. Recently it has been shown that turning on neutral current Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter can induce degeneracies that may even hinder the proposed state-of-the-art DUNE long baseline experiment from measuring the value of $δ$. We study how the result of the proposed MOMENT experiment with a baseline of 150 km and $200~{\rm MeV}

description: In the generalized Randall-Sundrum warped brane-world model the cosmological constant induced on the visible brane can be positive or negative. In this paper we investigate profiles of vacuum expectation value of the bulk scalar field under general Dirichlet andNeumann boundary conditions in the generalized warped brane-worldmodel.We showthat the VEVprofiles generally depend on the value of the brane cosmological constant. We find that the VEV profiles of the bulk scalar field for a visible brane with negative cosmological constant and positive tension are quite distinct fromthose of Randall-Sundrum model. In addition we show that the VEV profiles for a visible brane with large positive cosmological constant are also different from those of the Randall- Sundrum model.We also verify that Goldberger andWise mechanism can work under nonzero Dirichlet boundary conditions in the generalized Randall-Sundrum model.

description: We use coherent X-rays to probe the aging dynamics of a metallic glass directly on the atomic level. Contrary to the common assumption of a steady slowing down of the dynamics usually observed in macroscopic studies, we show that the structural relaxation processes underlying aging in this metallic glass are intermittent and highly heterogeneous at the atomic scale. Moreover, physical aging is triggered by cooperative atomic rearrangements, driven by the relaxation of internal stresses. The rich diversity of this behavior reflects a complex energy landscape, giving rise to a unique type of glassy-state dynamics.

description: We carry out Monte-Carlo simulation to study deuterium enrichment of interstellar grain mantles under various physical conditions. Based on the physical properties, various types of clouds are considered. We find that in diffuse cloud regions, very strong radiation fields persists and hardly a few layers of surface species are formed. In translucent cloud regions with a moderate radiation field, significant number of layers would be produced and surface coverage is mainly dominated by photo-dissociation products such as, C,CH_3,CH_2D,OH and OD. In the intermediate dense cloud regions (having number density of total hydrogen nuclei in all forms ~ 2 x 10^4 cm^-3), water and methanol along with their deuterated derivatives are efficiently formed. For much higher density regions (~ 10^6 cm^-3), water and methanol productions are suppressed but surface coverage of CO,CO_2,O_2,O_3 are dramatically increased. We find a very high degree of fractionation of water and methanol. Observational results support a high fractionation of methanol but surprisingly water fractionation is found to be low. This is in contradiction with our model results indicating alternative routes for de-fractionation of water. Effects of various types of energy barriers are also studied. Moreover, we allow grain mantles to interact with various charged particles (such as H^+, Fe^+,S^+ and C^+) to study the stopping power and projected range of these charged particles on various target ices.

description: The value of mahar in Aceh Pidie occupies the number two expensive in Indonesia after Sulawesi, one of Indonesia Province. Mahar in Aceh Pidie is attributed to gold measured in mayam. Mayam itself is referring to a kind of gold dosage prevailing in the people of Aceh. If converted with grams, one Mayam is estimated to be worth about 3.33 grams. Now, the price of one mayam is close to one million eight hundred thousand rupiah. Please imagine a marriage mahar provisions in Aceh Pidie sets to 50-70 mayam. What a expensive price that should be paid by the prospective bridegroom to engaged a woman. A man should provide funds of 90 to 126 million, and it does not include premium amenities and asoe talam (a set of suit). This is a very urgent problem on customary rules, which can not be regarded as a fairness. This issue needs to be handled very carefully. We can examine and give contribution to handling it. Departing from the fact, this study aims to find an alternative to the concept and application of the marriage mahar in Aceh Pidie. Mahar who arbitrates ‘shall’, which makes the people of Aceh Pidie choose not to obey much and they choose to the road elope or kawin lari, locked horns with traditional leaders that impact disharmony cultural order within existing communities. The most severe course can also occur, such as sex outside of marriage because the delay time of the wedding, as a consequence of unmet mahar.

description: The detailed nature of spatially heterogeneous dynamics of glycerol-silica nanocomposites is unraveled by combining dielectric spectroscopy with atomistic simulation and statistical mechanical theory. Analysis of the spatial mobility gradient shows no 'glassy' layer, but the alpha relaxation time near the nanoparticle grows with cooling faster than the alpha relaxation time in the bulk, and is ~ 20 times longer at low temperatures. The interfacial layer thickness increases from ~ 1.8 nm at higher temperatures to ~ 3.5 nm upon cooling to near Tg. A real space microscopic description of the mobility gradient is constructed by synergistically combining high temperature atomistic simulation with theory. Our analysis suggests that the interfacial slowing down arises mainly due to an increase of the local cage scale barrier for activated hopping induced by enhanced packing and densification near the nanoparticle surface. The theory is employed to predict how local surface densification can be manipulated to control layer dynamics and shear rigidity over a wide temperature range.

description: We provide exact solutions of the Stokes equations for a squirming sphere close to a no-slip surface, both planar and spherical, and for the interactions between two squirmers, in three dimensions. These allow the hydrodynamic interactions of swimming microscopic organisms with confining boundaries, or each other, to be determined for arbitrary separation and, in particular, in the close proximity regime where approximate methods based on point singularity descriptions cease to be valid. We give a detailed description of the circular motion of an arbitrary squirmer moving parallel to a no-slip spherical boundary or flat free surface at close separation, finding that the circling generically has opposite sense at free surfaces and at solid boundaries. While the asymptotic interaction is symmetric under head-tail reversal of the swimmer, in the near field microscopic structure can result in significant asymmetry. We also find the translational velocity towards the surface for a simple model with only the lowest two squirming modes. By comparing these to asymptotic approximations of the interaction we find that the transition from near- to far-field behaviour occurs at a separation of about two swimmer diameters. These solutions are for the rotational velocity about the wall normal, or common diameter of two spheres, and the translational speed along that same direction, and are obtained using the Lorentz reciprocal theorem for Stokes flows in conjunction with known solutions for the conjugate Stokes drag problems, the derivations of which are demonstrated here for completeness. The analogous motions in the perpendicular directions, i.e. parallel to the wall, currently cannot be calculated exactly since the relevant Stokes drag solutions needed for the reciprocal theorem are not available.

description: We propose a generalization of the Standard Model (SM) by adding two real gaugesinglets S1, S2. The field S1 will improve the strength of the electroweak phase transition (EWPT). Imposing a Z2 symmetry on the field S2 makes this field a possible candidate for dark matter. Both singlets interact with other observable fields through Higgs boson. They are allowed to interact with each other as well. We find that by introducing two different scalar fields, the model is less vulnerable to experimental constraints. In this paper, we consider the effects of a heavy scalar(M1 > MH) on the electroweak phase transition. And we present configurations that produce a strong first order EWPT.

description: Tuning the spin-orbit coupling strength via foreign element doping and/or modifying bonding strength via strain engineering are the major routes to convert normal insulators to topological insulators. We here propose an alternative strategy to realize topological phase transition by tuning the orbital level. Following this strategy, our first-principles calculations demonstrate that a topological phase transition in some cubic perovskite-type compounds CsGeBr$_3$ and CsSnBr$_3$ could be facilitated by carbon substitutional doping. Such unique topological phase transition predominantly results from the lower orbital energy of the carbon dopant, which can pull down the conduction bands and even induce band inversion. Beyond conventional approaches, our finding of tuning the orbital level may greatly expand the range of topologically nontrivial materials.

description: Position of women as witnesses in Islamic marriage procession is still debated till now. In Indonesian  Muslim community, there are two contradictive ideas appeared; first, women have not been allowed to be witnesses not only in marriage process, but also in the divorce, and hudud; second, women could be the witnesses, as long as the number of double and accompanied by a man. This research compares the position of women as a marriage witnesses in the perspective of Islamic and Constitutional Laws. A normative legal method was applied in this Comparative Research. Data found showed that there was no gap for women to be witnesses in a marriage. As stated in the 25th article of the Compilation of Islamic Law (CIL) of Indonesia which designates as the witnesses in the marriage ceremony are males. They are Muslim who are fair, adults (Aqeel/ baligh), uninterrupted memory and not deaf or hard of hearing. Therefore, this research recommends to renew the CIL, because in 25th article of CIL provides an opportunity for women to be marriage witnesses. It is expected to President and law makers in Indonesia should consider for Judicial Review of CIL.

description: Web Usage Mining is the application of data mining techniques to web usage log repositories in order to discover the usage patterns that can be used to analyze the users navigational behavior. During the preprocessing stage, raw web log data is transformed into a set of user profiles. Each user profile captures a set of URLs representing a user session. Clustering can be applied to this sessionized data in order to capture similar interests and trends among users navigational patterns. Since the sessionized data may contain thousands of user sessions and each user session may consist of hundreds of URL accesses, dimensionality reduction is achieved by eliminating the low support URLs. Very small sessions are also removed in order to filter out the noise from the data. But direct elimination of low support URLs and small sized sessions may results in loss of a significant amount of information especially when the count of low support URLs and small sessions is large. We propose a fuzzy solution to deal with this problem by assigning weights to URLs and user sessions based on a fuzzy membership function. After assigning the weights we apply a Fuzzy c-Mean Clustering algorithm to discover the clusters of user profiles. In this paper, we describe our fuzzy set theoretic approach to perform feature selection (or dimensionality reduction) and session weight assignment. Finally we compare our soft computing based approach of dimensionality reduction with the traditional approach of direct elimination of small sessions and low support count URLs. Our results show that fuzzy feature evaluation and dimensionality reduction results in better performance and validity indices for the discovered clusters.

The second is to analyze the relationship between those programs and students’ academic outcomes. Three research questions guide the review. (1). How is technology being leveraged to increase parent involvement?, (2). What are the main goals for technology-based parent involvement interventions and programs?, and (3) How do technology-based parent involvement interventions and programs impact K-12 students’ academic outcomes?
A Mixed Methods Study of North Carolina Principals’ Perceptions of the  Roles of School Social Workers
Creators: name: Scott, Deirdre
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation examined North Carolina (NC) principals’ perceptions of the roles of school social workers through the lens of an Ethic of Care (EoC).  The researcher argues that principals may not fully understand the role for a variety of reasons. One such reason is that the role developed outside of the school setting. Role clarity is needed to ensure the strategic and effective use of the role.  The findings were used to define the role of school social workers in terms of the roles most important to the educational outcomes of students.  Also, the study analyzed principals’ perceptions to determine if factors about the school (i.e., grade span, locale type) and/or factors about the principal (prior experience with school social workers, years of experience, race/ethnicity, and gender) yielded statistically significant differences.  Furthermore, the study examined principals’ perception of caring as the most important role of school social workers.  The researcher used two research strategies:  quantitative analysis of closed-ended questions and qualitative analysis of open-ended questions. Survey research methodology was performed to collect data from a self-administered online survey.  The findings indicated that principals’ perceptions are impacted by factors about the school and the principal, but only for certain roles.  Also, NC principals defined the role in terms of social casework and liaison activities.  Insofar as role clarity leads to the creative and strategic use of the roles of school social workers, the researcher hopes that stakeholders will utilize this information to prepare school administrators and school social workers for effective interdisciplinary practice.

description: Recent experimental and theoretical ideas are laying the ground for a new era in the knowledge of the parton structure of nuclei. We report on two promising directions beyond inclusive deep inelastic scattering experiments, aimed at, among other goals, unveiling the three dimensional structure of the bound nucleon. The 3D structure in coordinate space can be accessed through deep exclusive processes, whose non-perturbative content is parametrized in terms of generalized parton distributions. In this way the distribution of partons in the transverse plane will be obtained, providing a pictorial view of the realization of the European Muon Collaboration effect. In particular, we show how, through the generalized parton distribution framework, non nucleonic degrees of freedom in nuclei can be unveiled. Analogously, the momentum space 3D structure can be accessed by studying transverse momentum dependent parton distributions in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering processes. The status of measurements is also summarized, in particular novel coincidence measurements at high luminosity facilities, such as Jefferson Laboratory. Finally the prospects for the next years at future facilities, such as the 12~GeV Jefferson Laboratory and the Electron Ion Collider, are presented.

description: Protoplanetary discs are now routinely observed and exoplanets, after the numerous indirect discoveries, are starting to be directly imaged. To better understand the planet formation process, the next step is the detection of forming planets or of signposts of young planets still in their disc, such as gaps. A spectacular example is the ALMA science verification image of HL Tau showing numerous gaps and rings in its disc. To study the observability of planet gaps, we ran 3D hydrodynamical simulations of a gas and dust disc containing a 5 M J gap-opening planet and characterised the spatial distribution of migrating, growing and fragmenting dust grains. We then computed the corresponding synthetic images for ALMA. For a value of the dust fragmentation threshold of 15 m s --1 for the collisional velocity, we identify for the first time a self-induced dust pile up in simulations taking fragmentation into account. This feature, in addition to the easily detected planet gap, causes a second apparent gap that could be mistaken for the signature of a second planet. It is therefore essential to be cautious in the interpretation of gap detections.

description: We demonstrate a centimeter-scale optomechanical magnetometer based on a crystalline whispering gallery mode resonator. The large size of the resonator allows high magnetic field sensitivity to be achieved in the hertz to kilohertz frequency range. A peak sensitivity of 131 pT per root Hz is reported, in a magnetically unshielded non-cryogenic environment and using optical power levels beneath 100 microWatt. Femtotesla range sensitivity may be possible in future devices with further optimization of laser noise and the physical structure of the resonator, allowing applications in high-performance magnetometry.

description: The nonequilibrium dynamical behavior and structure formation of end-functionalized semiflexible polymer suspensions under flow are investigated by mesoscale hydrodynamic simulations. The hybrid simulation approach combines the multiparticle collision dynamics method for the fluid, which accounts for hydrodynamic interactions, with molecular dynamics simulations for the semiflexible polymers. In equilibrium, various kinds of scaffold-like network structures are observed, depending on polymer flexibility and end-attraction strength. We investigate the flow behavior of the polymer networks under shear and analyze their nonequilibrium structural and rheological properties. The scaffold structure breaks up and densified aggregates are formed at low shear rates, while the structural integrity is completely lost at high shear rates. We provide a detailed analysis of the shear-rate-dependent flow-induced structures. The studies provide a deeper understanding of the formation and deformation of network structures in complex materials.

 IFPNI registration lsid:— E0CF22F9-98D3-4999-A523-58BD9C06BC12
 Note:— Dorofeev (1972: 94) missed the indication of the holotype, so, “ Polygonum omoloicum ” was not validly published (Art. 40.1) (see IFPNI: http://fossilplants.info/names/ 4AA72473-4010-4B97-8796-F2D606902BF3). Arbuzova (2006: 16–17) found only one fossil specimen in the preserved Dorofeev’s palaeocarpological collections at LE, but she erroneously thought that if the single figured specimen preserved in author’s collections, it might serve as a holotype. In fact, Art. 40.1 explicitly requires that the indication of the holotype must be given in the original publication. Arbuzova (l.c.) invalidly transferred the Dorofeev’s name into Persicaria, but failed to provide a required diagnosis in English or Latin for fossils (Art. 43.1). As a result, conditions for the valid publication of a new fossil-species were not fulfilled, and the combination, which in fact was an inadvertent publication of a new fossil-species, was not validly published. Hence, a new fossil-species is here described as Persicaria omoloica.

description: The need to include economical and yet environmentally friendly products in modern day structural systems has pushed the development of engineered wood products such as engineering wooden I-joists. These products are engineered to resist high transverse loads and use the wood material more efficiently. Beam members, specially those that are deep and have long spans, are prone to lateral-torsional buckling as a possible mode of failure. Laboratory testing rarely take into account actual end conditions and initial imperfection which might have a significant impact on the buckling behavior of beams. The current research project aims to investigate the lateral torsional buckling of wooden I-joists. A total of 41 joists were tested using various commercial joists hangers and enhanced connections to represent different support conditions. A numerical 3D model was also developed using commercially available finite element program ABAQUS to determine the buckling loads and associated mode shapes of joists similar to those tested. It was demonstrated that the lateral stiffness of the joists’ top flange support has a significant influence on the buckling load and that a stiffness variation of the bottom flange lateral support shows no significant impact on the buckling load. The results also suggest that an enhanced rotational connection can significantly increase the buckling load of a member. The verified FE model was capable of predicting the buckling load of wood I-joists with various end conditions and initial imperfections with reasonable accuracy.

description: The explosive growth of World Wide Web (WWW) has necessitated the development of Web personalization systems in order to understand the user preferences to dynamically serve customized content to individual users. To reveal information about user preferences from Web usage data, Web Usage Mining (WUM) techniques are extensively being applied to the Web log data. Clustering techniques are widely used in WUM to capture similar interests and trends among users accessing a Web site. Clustering aims to divide a data set into groups or clusters where inter-cluster similarities are minimized while the intra cluster similarities are maximized. This paper reviews four of the popularly used clustering techniques: k-Means, k-Medoids, Leader and DBSCAN. These techniques are implemented and tested against the Web user navigational data. Performance and validity results of each technique are presented and compared.

description: The World Wide Web continues to grow at an amazing rate in both the size and complexity of Web sites and is well on its way to being the main reservoir of information and data. Due to this increase in growth and complexity of WWW, web site publishers are facing increasing difficulty in attracting and retaining users. To design popular and attractive websites publishers must understand their users needs. Therefore analyzing users behaviour is an important part of web page design. Web Usage Mining (WUM) is the application of data mining techniques to web usage log repositories in order to discover the usage patterns that can be used to analyze the users navigational behavior. WUM contains three main steps: preprocessing, knowledge extraction and results analysis. The goal of the preprocessing stage in Web usage mining is to transform the raw web log data into a set of user profiles. Each such profile captures a sequence or a set of URLs representing a user session.

Beethoven’s grand Uomo: Heroic Identification and the Eroica Symphony
Creators: name: Scott, Amanda Lynne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Today, the story of the conception of Ludwig van Beethoven's Eroica Symphony (1803) is closely entwined with Napoleon Bonaparte. However, this connection did not surface until approximately three decades after the Eroica was written. By the 1830s, critics were concerned with identifying the grand Uomo named on the title page of the first published edition of the orchestral parts, printed in 1806. Napoleon’s prominence in critical and biographical attempts at identifying the Hero of the Eroica was assured with the publication of Beethoven biographies, such as those by Ferdinand Ries and Anton Felix Schindler, that provided first-person accounts of Beethoven angrily changing the title of the symphony from "Bonaparte." Later interpretations of the symphony show these biographies' influence. A minority of writers disagreed with the Napoleonic interpretations; some, such as Richard Wagner, favored metaphysical interpretations that did not connect the symphony’s grand Uomo to any particular individual.

description: Ground-based observations at terahertz (THz) frequencies are a newly explorable area of astronomy for the next ten years. We discuss science cases for a first-generation 10-m class THz telescope, focusing on the Greenland Telescope as an example of such a facility. We propose science cases and provide quantitative estimates for each case. The largest advantage of ground-based THz telescopes is their higher angular resolution (~ 4 arcsec for a 10-m dish), as compared to space or airborne THz telescopes. Thus, high-resolution mapping is an important scientific argument. In particular, we can isolate zones of interest for Galactic and extragalactic star-forming regions. The THz windows are suitable for observations of high-excitation CO lines and [N II] 205 um lines, which are scientifically relevant tracers of star formation and stellar feedback. Those lines are the brightest lines in the THz windows, so that they are suitable for the initiation of ground-based THz observations. THz polarization of star-forming regions can also be explored since it traces the dust population contributing to the THz spectral peak. For survey-type observations, we focus on ``sub-THz'' extragalactic surveys, whose uniqueness is to detect galaxies at redshifts z ~ 1--2, where the dust emission per comoving volume is the largest in the history of the Universe. Finally we explore possibilities of flexible time scheduling, which enables us to monitor active galactic nuclei, and to target gamma-ray burst afterglows. For these objects, THz and submillimeter wavelength ranges have not yet been explored.
