description: Although multi-element antenna (MEA) systems are already used in some modern wireless communication systems, the issue of mutual coupling between elements remains a challenge during MEA system design. Indeed, communications engineers continue to bemoan the fact that that the antenna elements are often still designed with such coupling as an afterthought. Thus, some authors have used the decoupling surface (DS) idea, whereby a separate DS is added to the MEA systems to reduce the above coupling. Whereas a DS may indeed lower the coupling levels between the elements of a given MEA system, it usually changes the other performance parameters as well, and in an undesirable way. Thus, this design route is a complicated one that is not easily affected. In this thesis we propose, for the first time, a new design process for MEA systems based on shape synthesis. The MEA system performance indicators are combined into an objective that sets the goal of the shape synthesis procedure. The application of the proposed design process is illustrated for three different geometrical arrangements of patch antennas and decoupling surfaces. This confirms the efficacy of the new design method.

description: We present exact calculations of the partition function $Z$ of the $q$-state Potts model and its generalization to real $q$, the random cluster model, for arbitrary temperature on $n$-vertex ladder graphs with free, cyclic, and Möbius longitudinal boundary conditions. These partition functions are equivalent to Tutte/Whitney polynomials for these graphs. The free energy is calculated exactly for the infinite-length limit of these ladder graphs and the thermodynamics is discussed.

title: The Development of an Experience-Based Model of Work-Non-Work Adjustment in a Sample of Queensland Teachers

description: Work-life balance (WLB) has emerged as an important field of research and practice over the last 20 years. Increased female participation in the workforce, an ageing population, and the changing nature of work, have all increased interest in how individuals balance their work and non-work roles. In particular, research and practice have focused on reducing the stress and role-conflict associated with participation in multiple roles. Although, no real consensus on the definition or conceptualisation of work-life balance has been reached, Frone’s model of WLB is the most widely accepted and researched conceptualisation of balance. Frone’s model focuses on the interaction between work-life conflict and work-life facilitation, whereby balance is a result of low conflict and high facilitation, and is similar to stress models, such as Karasek’s demands-control-support model or the job demands-resources model. Despite its popularity, little support has been published for Frone’s WLB model. In addition, research on WLB has mostly focused on how to reduce the occupational impact of workers engaging in multiple roles, so although the fit between demands and resources of the work environment have been addressed, other ideas from stress research have not been as well considered. Introducing non-work factors into pre-existing and well-established occupational stress models should provide a clearer understanding of work-life interactions. Specifically, the cognitive activation theory of stress (CATS) is relevant to the work-life interface as it refers to an individual’s appraisal and management of any stressors encountered, whether work- or non-work-related. Based on the similarities between occupational stress and WLB literatures, an experience-based model of work-non-work adjustment was developed and tested, which incorporated common variables across the occupational stress and WLB domains into a single model based on CATS.

description: Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are unstable. Link errors, which are considered as an exception in fixed-wired networks must be assumed to be the default case in MANETs. Hence designing fault tolerant systems efficiently offering transactional guarantees in these unstable environments is considerably more complex. The efficient support for such guarantees is essential for business applications, e.g. for the exchange of electronic goods. This class of applications demands for transactional properties such as money and goods atomicity. Within this technical report we present an architecture, which allows for fair and atomic transaction processing in MANETs, together with an associated application that enables exchange of electronic tokens.
Three-Body Charmful Baryonic B Decays $\bar B\to D(D^*)N\bar N$

description: We study the charmful three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to D^{(*)}N\bar N$: the color-allowed modes $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)+}n\bar p$ and the color-suppressed ones $\bar B^0\to D^{(*)0}p\bar p$. While the $D^{*+}/D^+$ production ratio is predicted to be of order 3, it is found that $D^0p\bar p$ has a similar rate as $D^{*0}p\bar p$. It is pointed out that $\bar B^0\to D(D^*)N\bar N$ are dominated by the nucleon vector current or by vector meson intermediate states, whereas $\bar B^0\to D^0p\bar p$ proceeds mainly via the exchange of the axial-vector intermediate state $a_1(1260)$. The study of the $N\bar N$ invariant mass distribution in general indicates a threshold baryon pair production; that is, a recoil charmed meson accompanied by a low mass baryon pair except that the spectrum of $D^0p\bar p$ has a hump at large $p\bar p$ invariant mass $m_{p\bar p}\sim 3.0$ GeV.

subject: Secondary drama classroom
subject: Collaborative learning

description: This thesis explores secondary drama students’ experiences of teacher feedback in three urban secondary schools in Queensland, Australia. A case study design was selected to preserve the contextual details and foreground the voices of students aged 15-17. Qualitative data collection methods such as focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, explored the students’ perspectives of the modes, types, sources or purposes of teacher feedback and how, or if, they utilised feedback to enhance their learning. The research participants described uniquely individual experiences of feedback mediated by a combination of personal and contextual factors. The embodied and relational pedagogies of the drama classroom, presented a range of contextual factors including the social norms of classroom interactions, the complex networks of relationships, the nature of the classroom ambience, along with the coherence of the curriculum. Several personal factors mediated students’ experiences of feedback also emerged including; affective sensitivities, aspirations and expectations, and prior access to the art-form. The participants also identified positive and negative experiences of feedback, however, the majority of students from across all three research sites, valued teacher feedback that was coherent, timely and generated through interactive loops of reflective dialogue between teacher and student. Students found this interaction to be more constructive and accessible when the feedback aligned with their expectations of drama as a subject area. Several students also identified further opportunities for the drama teacher to offer catalytic feedback in the form of dialogue that extended their creativity, enhanced agency and fostered self-regulated learning. Findings from this study affirm previous arguments presented in the drama-in-education literature. Specifically, that students’ learning is enhanced through the teacher’s consideration of the socially sensitive, dialogic, relational and collaborative nature of learning in, through and about drama and the power of critical reflection to deepen aesthetic learning and engagement. Overall, the students’ levels of feedback literacy emerged as central to their experiences of teacher led feedback processes in the drama classroom. Drama students with well-developed feedback literacy were more aware of feedback in various modes. They effectively engaged with, responded to and actively sought greater interaction with the teacher to generate more opportunities for feedback to enhance their learning and achievement.

description: Zusammenfassung Strukturell „begrenzte Staatlichkeit“ und nicht staatszentrierte Modi des Regierens sind keine Phänomene, die erst seit dem ausgehenden 20. Jahrhundert zu beobachten sind. Aus diesem Grund plädiert dieses Working Paper für die Übertragung des Governance-Begriffs auf vorund frühmoderne Gesellschaften. Anknüpfend an die neuere Diskussion um frühneuzeitliche Staatlichkeit steht hier nicht die mehr oder weniger monolithische Sicht auf einen sich mit Macht durchsetzenden monarchisch- absolutistischen Staat im Vordergrund, als vielmehr die Vielfalt staatlicher Dynamiken und der daran beteiligten Akteure. Das Working Paper fragt daher nach den historisch kontingenten Entwicklungspfaden zentralisierter Herrschaftsausübung. Hierdurch soll insbesondere die Heterogenität dieses Entwicklungsprozesses beleuchtet werden, der durch eine Ungleichzeitigkeit von nebeneinander bestehenden traditionellen und neueren Regierungs- und Verwaltungsstrukturen sowie durch immer wiederkehrende Prozesse der Aushandlung von Autorität gekennzeichnet ist.

description: We propose a nonabsorbing microwave single-photon detector that uses an artificial atom as a coherent interaction mediator between a traveling photon and a high-Q resonator, fully exploiting the knowledge of the photon's arrival time. Our proposal can be implemented with the current level of technology and achieves distinguishability (probability of distinguishing between zero and one photon) in excess of 98% for realistic parameters. This is better than any of the similar detector proposals, even the ones using several artificial atoms.

description: We aim to select quasar candidates based on the two large survey databases, Pan-STARRS and AllWISE. Exploring the distribution of quasars and stars in the color spaces, we find that the combination of infrared and optical photometry is more conducive to select quasar candidates. Two new color criterions (yW1W2 and izW1W2) are constructed to distinguish quasars from stars efficiently. With izW1W2, 98.30% of star contamination is eliminated, while 99.50% of quasars are retained, at least to the magnitude limit of our training set of stars. Based on the optical and infrared color features, we put forward an efficient schema to select quasar candidates and high redshift quasar candidates, in which two machine learning algorithms (XGBoost and SVM) are implemented. The XGBoost and SVM classifiers have proven to be very effective with accuracy of 99.46% when 8Color as input pattern and default model parameters. Applying the two optimal classifiers to the unknown Pan-STARRS and AllWISE cross-matched data set, a total of 2,006,632 intersected sources are predicted to be quasar candidates given quasar probability larger than 0.5 (i.e. P_QSO>0.5). Among them, 1,201,211 have high probability (P_QSO>0.95). For these newly predicted quasar candidates, a regressor is constructed to estimate their redshifts. Finally 7,402 z>3.5 quasars are obtained. Given the magnitude limitation and site of the LAMOST telescope, part of these candidates will be used as the input catalogue of the LAMOST telescope for follow-up observation, and the rest may be observed by other telescopes.

description: Coupling of atoms is the basis of chemistry, yielding the beauty and richness of molecules. We utilize semiconductor nanocrystals as artificial atoms to form nanocrystal molecules that are structurally and electronically coupled. CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals are linked to form dimers which are then fused via constrained oriented attachment. The possible nanocrystal facets in which such fusion takes place are analyzed with atomic resolution revealing the distribution of possible crystal fusion scenarios. Coherent coupling and wavefunction hybridization are manifested by a red shift of the band gap, in agreement with quantum mechanical simulations. Single nanoparticle spectroscopy unravels the attributes of coupled nanocrystal dimers related to the unique combination of quantum mechanical tunneling and energy transfer mechanisms. This sets the stage for nanocrystals chemistry to yield a diverse selection of coupled nanocrystal molecules constructed from controlled core/shell nanocrystal building blocks. These are of direct relevance for numerous applications in displays, sensing, biological tagging and emerging quantum technologies.

description: There are many applications where users seek to explore the impact of the settings of several categorical variables with respect to one dependent numerical variable. For example, a computer systems analyst might want to study how the type of file system or storage device affects system performance. A usual choice is the method of Parallel Sets designed to visualize multivariate categorical variables. However, we found that the magnitude of the parameter impacts on the numerical variable cannot be easily observed here. We also attempted a dimension reduction approach based on Multiple Correspondence Analysis but found that the SVD-generated 2D layout resulted in a loss of information. We hence propose a novel approach, the Interactive Configuration Explorer (ICE), which directly addresses the need of analysts to learn how the dependent numerical variable is affected by the parameter settings given multiple optimization objectives. No information is lost as ICE shows the complete distribution and statistics of the dependent variable in context with each categorical variable. Analysts can interactively filter the variables to optimize for certain goals such as achieving a system with maximum performance, low variance, etc. Our system was developed in tight collaboration with a group of systems performance researchers and its final effectiveness was evaluated with expert interviews, a comparative user study, and two case studies.

description: Catastrophes are usually seen as a threat to a country’s stability and progress. Some countries are regarded as prepared to face them and ready to deal with the consequences, but still, a disaster is always presented at the very least as an inconvenience. Contrary to this line of thinking, this dissertation shows that catastrophes can present an opportunity for state-building. Catastrophes, and the profound sense of insecurity they cause, force institutions to demonstrate their adeptness, or change. Specifically, catastrophes challenge state power because they test its basic role as protector from physical harm. Consequently, when disaster happens the state is put to the test. States that arise triumphant from this challenge may use the opportunity to increase its strength and develop new capacities.

description: Characterization of the deformation of materials across different length scales has continuously attracted enormous attention from the mechanics and materials communities. In this study, the possibility of utilizing a computer vision algorithm to extract deformation information of materials has been explored, which greatly expands the use of computer vision approaches to studying mechanics of materials and potentially opens new dialogues between the two communities. The computer vision algorithm is first developed and tested on computationally deformed images, before evaluating experimentally collected images on speckle painted samples before and after deformation. Moreover, a virtual experiment has also shown the feasibility of mapping surface strain of a sample based on its natural pattern with significantly improved accuracy compared to DIC result, which provides new opportunities in experimentation and computer algorithms to study deformation mechanics of materials. Validation experiments include evaluating the performance of strain mapping using the computer vision approach in the uniaxial tensile test and three-point bending test, compared with extensometer reading and digital image correlation respectively.

description: Purpose: In single-case treatment studies, researchers may compare client performance during a baseline, nontreatment phase(s) to client performance during intervention phases. Autocorrelation in the data series gathered during such studies increases the likelihood that analysts will detect or fail to detect meaningful differences between baseline and treatment phase data. We examined the impact that autocorrelation has on 4 effect size calculation methods when these methods are applied to data generated by people with aphasia during anomia treatment studies. The effect sizes we selected were Busk and Serlin’s d, Young’s C, nonoverlap of all pairs, and Tau-U. We hypothesized that d and C would be influenced by autocorrelation, whereas nonoverlap of all pairs and Tau-U would not.Method: We extracted 173 highly autocorrelated data series from published investigations of treatments for anomia. These data series were then “cleansed” of autocorrelation through the use of an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) process. The 4 effect size calculation methods were used to derive an effect size for each published and each corresponding ARIMA-tized data series. The published and ARIMA-tized effect sizes associated with each calculation method were then compared.Results: For all of the 4 effect sizes, statistically significant differences existed between the published effect sizes and the ARIMA-tized effect sizes.Conclusions: All 4 of the methods were influenced by autocorrelation. Further research that develops effect size calculation methods that are not influenced by autocorrelation will help to improve the quality of single-case studies.

description: We propose two ways for determining the Green's matrix for problems admitting Hamiltonians that have infinite symmetric tridiagonal (i.e. Jacobi) matrix form on some basis representation. In addition to the recurrence relation comming from the Jacobi-matrix, the first approach also requires the matrix elements of the Green's operator between the first elements of the basis. In the second approach the recurrence relation is solved directly by continued fractions and the solution is continued analytically to the whole complex plane. Both approaches are illustrated with the non-trivial but calculable example of the D-dimensional Coulomb Green's matrix. We give the corresponding formulas for the D-dimensional harmonic oscillator as well.

description: With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments, the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further research.

description: Recurrent neural networks can be large and compute-intensive, yet many applications that benefit from RNNs run on small devices with very limited compute and storage capabilities while still having run-time constraints. As a result, there is a need for compression techniques that can achieve significant compression without negatively impacting inference run-time and task accuracy. This paper explores a new compressed RNN cell implementation called Hybrid Matrix Decomposition (HMD) that achieves this dual objective. This scheme divides the weight matrix into two parts - an unconstrained upper half and a lower half composed of rank-1 blocks. This results in output features where the upper sub-vector has "richer" features while the lower-sub vector has "constrained features". HMD can compress RNNs by a factor of 2-4x while having a faster run-time than pruning (Zhu &Gupta, 2017) and retaining more model accuracy than matrix factorization (Grachev et al., 2017). We evaluate this technique on 5 benchmarks spanning 3 different applications, illustrating its generality in the domain of edge computing.

BEHAVIOURAL DISSONANCE IN THE CHANGE AGENTS' EFFORT OF THE RE-ENTRANTS: IMPLICATION FOR TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE

description: Abstract

Human resources are the most valuable assets of an establishment. Training therefore plays a vital role in the life of an establishment. Re-entrants from training had to do with recipients undergoing training and on return they are absorbed properly into the establishment, thereby applying the newly acquired skills for the development of the establishment. This research work is hinged on the fact that recipients suffer deprivation and neglect on return from training as it was observed by the researchers. This of course leads to lack of commitment and negative attitudes in places of work. This study is an empirical one, which derived its data from primary source through the administration of questionnaires. The two ministries used in this study are the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Information, both situated in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. This work revealed that some civil servants do not enjoy the privilege of embarking on training as at when due because government does not encourage training and re-training of personnel. It was also observed that some civil servants have spent about ten years or more in their various establishments, and had not had the opportunity to undergo training. The paper submits that there is an ample need for training and subsequent placement as it sets a worker up in identifying his/her potentials and contributing to the growth of the establishment

The primordial black hole formation criterion re-examined: parameterisation, timing, and the choice of window function

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: In this paper, the criterion used to determine whether a density perturbation will collapse to form a primordial black hole (PBH) is re-examined, in respect of its use to determine the abundance of PBHs. There is particular focus on which parameter to use, the time at which the abundance should be calculated, and the use of different smoothing functions. It is concluded that, with the tools currently available, the smoothed density contrast should be used rather than the peak value, and should be calculated from the time-independent component of the density contrast in the super-horizon limit (long before perturbations enter the horizon) rather than at horizon crossing. For the first time the effect of the choice of smoothing function upon the formation criterion is calculated, and, for a given abundance of PBHs, it is found that the uncertainty in the amplitude of the power spectrum due to this is $\mathcal{O}(10\%)$, an order of magnitude smaller than previous calculations suggest. The relation between the formation criterion stated in terms of the density contrast and the curvature perturbation $\mathcal{R}$ is also discussed.

description: We explore the usefulness of the existing relations between the $S$-matrix and time delay in characterizing baryon resonances in pion-nucleon scattering. We draw attention to the fact that the existence of a positive maximum in time delay is a necessary criterion for the existence of a resonance and should be used as a constraint in conventional analyses which locate resonances from poles of the $S$-matrix and Argand diagrams. The usefulness of the time delay plots of resonances is demonstrated through a detailed analysis of the time delay in several partial waves of $πN$ elastic scattering.
