title: An Ethnographic Study of Everyday Interactions in Innovative Learning Spaces
Creators: name: Pantidi, Nadia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: For the last 10 years universities and colleges in the UK have generated significant investment in designing innovative learning spaces. These spaces have been created to accommodate a student-centered pedagogical approach that is intended to promote formal and informal learning activities, collaboration and socializing by means of flexible technological infrastructure and architectural design. Various assessments have already been realized to investigate the outcomes of this investment and the impact of those spaces on learning. Yet, there is a persevering need to better understand the role of the technological infrastructure and the architectural design in innovative learning spaces as a lived experience by those who use and inhabit them; and to establish whether they are used as anticipated. This work takes up on this challenge and investigates three innovative learning spaces through an ethnographic approach that, following the analytic orientation of Suchman’s situated action, considers and juxtaposes anticipated versus actual use. More specifically, this work addresses the following research questions: • How do people interact with the architectural and technological infrastructure and with each other in innovative learning spaces on an everyday basis? • How do everyday interactions compare with those envisioned by the designers and managers of these spaces? • How do we account for the differences between actual and anticipated use of the spaces? • How can spaces be designed or recover from breakdowns so that actual and anticipated use (re) align? By addressing those questions, the present work contributes to an empirically-grounded understanding of how innovative learning spaces are being used and appropriated compared to the envisioned usage. The analysis reveals tensions between actual and anticipated use, the situated nature of flexible design, as well as the complex and contested processes through which interactions in innovative learning spaces are accomplished, adapted or superseded. The findings suggest a set of critical factors that account for the tensions between desired and actual use of such spaces. Issues of legibility, legitimacy and sense of ownership and appropriation supersede the existing views and guidelines of adaptable design as presented in the current literature and can be used to inform the design and evaluation of innovative learning spaces.
A unified framework of continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods for solving the incompressible Navier--Stokes equation

description: In this paper, we propose a unified numerical framework for the time-dependent incompressible Navier--Stokes equation which yields the $H^1$-, $H(\text{div})$-conforming, and discontinuous Galerkin methods with the use of different viscous stress tensors and penalty terms for pressure robustness. Under minimum assumption on Galerkin spaces, the semi- and fully-discrete stability is proved when a family of implicit Runge--Kutta methods are used for time discretization. Furthermore, we present a unified discussion on the penalty term. Numerical experiments are presented to compare our schemes with classical schemes in the literature in both unsteady and steady situations. It turns out that our scheme is competitive when applied to well-known benchmark problems such as Taylor--Green vortex, Kovasznay flow, potential flow, lid driven cavity flow, and the flow around a cylinder.

description: Recently, it has been shown that the holomorphic anomaly of unitarity cuts can be used as a tool in determining the one-loop amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. It is interesting to examine whether this method can be applied to more general cases. We present results for a non-MHV N=1 supersymmetric one-loop amplitude. We show that the holomorphic anomaly of each unitarity cut correctly reproduces the action on the amplitude's imaginary part of the differential operators corresponding to collinearity in twistor space. We find that the use of the holomorphic anomaly to evaluate the amplitude requires the solution of differential rather than algebraic equations.

description: Статья посвящена недостаточно изученному направлению русской мысли, видевшему основную задачу философии в постижении собственно человеческого в человеке. С точки зрения рассмотренных в статье представителей этого направления (П. Е. Астафьев, В. И. Несмелов, В. А. Снегирев), человечность (humanitas) человека убедительней всего выражается в его предрасположении к восприятию Откровения, в наличии в нем «естественной почвы богопознания». Показано, что названные мыслители единодушно считали такой «почвой» внутренний (душевный) мир человека. Коренное свойство этого мира заключается в его деятельном и сознательном характере. В процессе развития сознания формируется самосознание, вершина которого — идея свободно-разумной личности. Именно осознание самого себя личностью делает возможным для человека переход к идее Божественной Личности, но вместе с тем и к «загадке о человеке», «к противоречию между условным бытием человека и образом безусловного бытия в человеке». Отмечается, что наиболее известное в этом отношении учение В. И. Несмелова является развитием взглядов его учителя В. А. Снегирева на «идеал совершенной личности». В заключение статьи затронута особая позиция П. Е. Астафьева, для которого полнота душевной жизни связана с сопряжением в ней личности человека и его национальной природы (народности). Общий вывод статьи состоит в том, что «загадка о человеке» является, по существу, пробным камнем для равноправного и плодотворного сотрудничества философии и богословия.
INFLUENCIA DE LA COMUNICACIÓN EN LA CREACIÓN DE IMAGEN DEL EVENTO MOTOTURÍSTICO "PINGÜINOS"

description: Desde su aparición en el año 1982, el evento mototurístico “Pingüinos” se ha convertido en una de las concentraciones moteras más importantes del mundo. Declarado Fiesta de Interés Turística Regional en el año 2011, este encuentro viene demostrando su capacidad para atraer a Valladolid a miles de visitantes e involucrarles en distintos tipos de turismo. Sin duda, un alto poder de convocatoria que pone de manifiesto la necesidad de estudiar el papel desempeñado por las acciones de comunicación del principal agente inductivo del evento: el Club Turismoto. Se parte de las hipótesis de que la cartelería ha funcionado como catalizadora de la imagen de marca Pingüinos, que más allá de su valor informativo inicial, ha devenido en una marca-emocional creadora de lazos afectivos y reivindicadora de una identidad vinculada a un territorio. Tras la recogida de los formatos impresos, la muestra queda constituida por aquellos soportes publicitarios convencionales más representativos. Y así, a partir de un primer análisis estructural, se procede al análisis de contenido de los mensajes a través del programa LIWC y de la creación de un diccionario específico. Los principales resultados apuntan a que estas acciones de promoción han servido para poner en valor el destino turístico Valladolid y para respaldar como con el tiempo los mensajes de carácter divulgativo dan paso a la construcción de un mensaje más persuasivo, sustentado en valores simbólicos e identitarios, que trabaja cada vez más los atributos subjetivos inherentes al propio evento (marca-emocional).

description: We generalize previously obtained results for the (all orders in the 't Hooft coupling) thermal free energy of bosonic and fermionic large $N$ Chern-Simons theories with fundamental matter, to values of the chemical potential larger than quasiparticle thermal masses. Building on an analysis by Geracie, Goykhman and Son, we present a simple explicit formula for the occupation number for a quasiparticle state of any given energy and charge as a function of the temperature and chemical potential. This formula is a generalization to finite 't Hooft coupling of the famous occupation number formula of Bose-Einstein statistics, and implies an exclusion principle for Chern-Simons coupled bosons: the total number of bosons occupying any particular state cannot exceed the Chern-Simons level. Specializing our results to zero temperature we construct the phase diagrams of these theories as a function of chemical potential and the UV parameters. At large enough chemical potential, all the bosonic theories we study transit into a compressible Bose condensed phase in which the runaway instability of free Bose condensates is stabilized by the bosonic exclusion principle. This novel Bose condensate is dual to - and reproduces the thermodynamics of - the fermionic Fermi sea.

description: While the use of energy storage combined with grid-scale photovoltaic power plants continues to grow, given current lithium-ion battery prices, there remains uncertainty about the profitability of these solar-plus-storage projects. At the same time, the rapid proliferation of electric vehicles is creating a fleet of millions of lithium-ion batteries that will be deemed unsuitable for the transportation industry once they reach 80 percent of their original capacity. The repurposing and deployment of these batteries as stationary energy storage provides an opportunity to reduce the cost of solar-plus-storage systems, if the economics can be proven. We present a techno-economic model of a solar-plus-second-life energy storage project in California, including a data-based model of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide battery degradation, to predict its capacity fade over time, and compare it to a project that uses a new lithium-ion battery. By setting certain control policy limits, to minimize cycle aging, we show that a system with SOC limits in a 65 to 15 percent range, extends the project life to over 16 years, assuming a battery reaches its end-of-life at 60 percent of its original capacity. Under these conditions, a second-life project is more economically favorable than a project that uses a new battery and 85 to 20 percent SOC limits, for second-life battery costs that are less than 80 percent of the new battery. The same system reaches break-even and profitability for second-life battery costs that are less than 60 percent of the new battery. Our model shows that using current benchmarked data for the capital and O&M costs of solar-plus-storage systems, and a semi-empirical data-based degradation model, it is possible for EV manufacturers to sell second-life batteries for less than 60 percent of their original price to developers of profitable solar-plus-storage projects.

Sustainable urban form for modern Guangzhou in Southern China : a culturally rooted proposal
Creators: name: Zhang, Xiaoliang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: "As planners and designers, we face the challenge of creating and maintaining communities which are affordable, efficient, scaled to human proportions, and environmentally sound. When searching for design solutions within these constraints, it is important to consider and learn from the past, from its successes and its failures. The past can reveal suggestions and alternatives for the future. " (Nelessen, 1994, p43) Owing to over 2100 years of history and a distinct geographical location, the traditional city of Guangzhou is characterized by the Ling-nan culture and a unique subtropical climate. Since the mid-1980s, the city has witnessed rapid economic growth and a booming population, placing considerable strain on its infrastructure, environment, and culture. It has been an urgent need for an appropriate urban spatial form to develop the city toward sustainability. This thesis takes on this challenge and tries to draw inspiration from the city's old-traditional districts to make recommendations for the city's development in the future. In this research, 25 indicators are proposed with regard to urban design components at both site and city region scales. These indicators are developed with regard to the principle of sustainable development in the environmental and human dimensions. They are used to evaluate and analyze both Guangzhou's old and current city forms, generating 57 recommendations for the development of a more sustainable urban form for the City of Guangzhou.

description: The Epoch of Reionization (EoR)---when neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium was systematically ionized---is a period in our Universe's history that is currently poorly understood. However, a key prediction of most models is a correlation between the density and ionization field during the EoR. This has consequences for the 21cm power spectrum. Here, we propose a parametrization for the density-ionization correlation and study the dependence of the 21cm power spectrum on this parameterization. We use this formalism to forecast the ability of current and future observations to constrain these correlations. We find that upper limits on the dimensionless power spectrum at redshifts $7.5 < z < 8.5$ using $k$ bins between $0.1\,\textrm{Mpc}^{-1} < k < 0.75\,\textrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ with error bars at the level of $\sim\!\!20\,\textrm{mK}^2$ about our fiducial model would rule out uncorrelated reionization at $99\%$ credibility. Beyond upper limits, we find that at its full sensitivity, the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) will be able to place strong constraints on the sign and magnitude of density-ionization correlations.

description: We study numerically the integrable turbulence developing from strongly nonlinear partially coherent waves, in the framework of the focusing one-dimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We find that shortly after the beginning of motion the turbulence enters a state characterized by a very slow evolution of statistics (the quasi-stationary state - QSS), and we concentrate on the detailed examination of the basic statistical functions in this state depending on the shape and the width of the initial spectrum. In particular, we show that the probability density function (PDF) of wavefield intensity is nearly independent of the initial spectrum and is very well approximated by a certain Bessel function representing an integral of the product of two exponential distributions. The PDF corresponds to the value of the second-order moment of intensity equal to 4, indicating enhanced generation of rogue waves. All waves of large amplitude that we have studied are very well approximated - both in space and in time - by the rational breather solutions of either the first (the Peregrine breather), or the second orders.

description: Humans are capable of learning new concepts from small numbers of examples. In contrast, supervised deep learning models usually lack the ability to extract reliable predictive rules from limited data scenarios when attempting to classify new examples. This challenging scenario is commonly known as few-shot learning. Few-shot learning has garnered increased attention in recent years due to its significance for many real-world problems. Recently, new methods relying on meta-learning paradigms combined with graph-based structures, which model the relationship between examples, have shown promising results on a variety of few-shot classification tasks. However, existing work on few-shot learning is only focused on the feature embeddings produced by the last layer of the neural network. In this work, we propose the utilization of lower-level, supporting information, namely the feature embeddings of the hidden neural network layers, to improve classifier accuracy. Based on a graph-based meta-learning framework, we develop a method called Looking-Back, where such lower-level information is used to construct additional graphs for label propagation in limited data settings. Our experiments on two popular few-shot learning datasets, miniImageNet and tieredImageNet, show that our method can utilize the lower-level information in the network to improve state-of-the-art classification performance.

description: I consider in this book a formulation of Quantum Mechanics. Usually QM is formulated based on the notion of time and space, both of which are thought a priori given quantities or notions. However, when we try to define the notion of velocity or momentum, we encounter a difficulty as we will see in chapter 1. The problem is that if the notion of time is given a priori, the velocity is definitely determined when given a position, which contradicts the uncertainty principle of Heisenberg. We then set the basis of QM on the notion of position and momentum operators as in chapter 2. Time of a local system then is defined approximately as a ratio $|x|/|v|$ between the space coordinate $x$ and the velocity $v$. In this formulation of QM, we can keep the uncertainty principle, and time is a quantity that does not have precise values unlike the usually supposed notion of time has. The feature of local time is that it is a time proper to each local system, which is defined as a finite set of quantum mechanical particles. We now have an infinite number of local times that are unique and proper to each local system. Based on the notion of local time, the motion inside a local system is described by the usual Schrödinger equation. We investigate such motion in a given local system in part II. This is a usual quantum mechanics. After some excursion of the investigation of local motion, we consider in part III the relative relation or motion between plural local systems. In the final part IV, we will prove that there is at least one Universe wave function $ϕ$ in which all local systems have local motions and thus local times. This concludes our formulation of Quantum Mechanics.

description: Zero-knowledge proofs have always provided a clear solution when it comes to conveying information from a prover to a verifier or vice versa without revealing essential information about the process. Advancements in zero-knowledge have helped develop proofs which are succinct and provide non-interactive arguments of knowledge along with maintaining the zero-knowledge criteria. zk-SNARKs (Zero knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) are one such method that outshines itself when it comes to advancement of zero-knowledge proofs. The underlying principle of the Zcash algorithm is such that it delivers a full-fledged ledger-based digital currency with strong privacy guarantees and the root of ensuring privacy lies fully on the construction of a proper zk-SNARK. In this paper we elaborate and construct a concrete zk-SNARK proof from scratch and explain its role in the Zcash algorithm.

description: In this paper we prove that, in the category of chain complexes, partial algebras can be functorially replaced by quasi-isomorphic algebras. In particular, partial algebras contain all of the important homological and homotopical information that genuine algebras do. Applying this result to McClure's partial algebra in [6] shows that the chains of a PL-manifold are quasi-isomorphic to an E-infinity algebra.

Investigating sentence shaper : a processing prosthesis
Creators: name: Albright, Erin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study explores the possible uses of Sentence Shaper (Linebarger, McCall, & Berndt, 2004), a software program designed as a language remediation tool for individuals with nonfluent aphasia. In particular, Sentence Shaper allows users to practice message production by facilitating sentence construction. Previous studies indicate that after extended use of this program, individuals with nonfluent aphasia may be able to produce more morphosyntactically complex narratives. As Sentence Shaper allows users to record and save messages, there is the potential that this program could be used to augment communication. The goals of this study were, first, to partially replicate the Linebarger et al. (2004) study and, second, to explore ways in which Sentence Shaper could be used to augment communication in everyday life. These goals were investigated in a four-month case study with a woman with nonfluent aphasia and her mother. Models of social approaches to aphasia intervention informed the design of the study, which included a treatment component and an ethnographic component. For the treatment component, the participant with aphasia practiced producing messages using Sentence Shaper for 12 weeks. Treatment effects were measured by comparing pre- and post-treatment unaided narratives, as well as post-treatment aided narratives. The ethnographic component involved regular meetings with the participants. Integration of qualitative data from fieldnotes, recorded conversations, brief interviews, and questionnaires revealed the uses of Sentence Shaper and the ways in which the participants’ life situation affected its use. Treatment results demonstrated an increase in the morphosyntactic complexity of the participant’s narratives, while measures of informativeness and narrative structure remained relatively unchanged. Given these conflicting findings, a judgment task was also conducted with two groups of listeners (speech-language pathologists and peers). Findings from the ethnographic component revealed that, although the participant with aphasia used Sentence Shaper messages for e-mail and in conversation, neither participant readily accepted the use of the program to augment communication in everyday life. Reasons for this lack of acceptance are explored. Finally, ways in which a social approach contributed to a deeper understanding of the findings, as well as implications for future research and clinical practice, are discussed.
Analysis of and workarounds for element reversal for a finite element-based algorithm for warping triangular and tetrahedral meshes

description: We consider an algorithm called FEMWARP for warping triangular and tetrahedral finite element meshes that computes the warping using the finite element method itself. The algorithm takes as input a two- or three-dimensional domain defined by a boundary mesh (segments in one dimension or triangles in two dimensions) that has a volume mesh (triangles in two dimensions or tetrahedra in three dimensions) in its interior. It also takes as input a prescribed movement of the boundary mesh. It computes as output updated positions of the vertices of the volume mesh. The first step of the algorithm is to determine from the initial mesh a set of local weights for each interior vertex that describes each interior vertex in terms of the positions of its neighbors. These weights are computed using a finite element stiffness matrix. After a boundary transformation is applied, a linear system of equations based upon the weights is solved to determine the final positions of the interior vertices. The FEMWARP algorithm has been considered in the previous literature (e.g., in a 2001 paper by Baker). FEMWARP has been succesful in computing deformed meshes for certain applications. However, sometimes FEMWARP reverses elements; this is our main concern in this paper. We analyze the causes for this undesirable behavior and propose several techniques to make the method more robust against reversals. The most successful of the proposed methods includes combining FEMWARP with an optimization-based untangler.

description: Objective: This paper presents a novel heart sound segmentation algorithm based on Temporal-Framing Adaptive Network (TFAN), including state transition loss and dynamic inference for decoding the most likely state sequence. Methods: In contrast to previous state-of-the-art approaches, the TFAN-based method does not require any knowledge of the state duration of heart sounds and is therefore likely to generalize to non sinus rhythm. The TFAN-based method was trained on 50 recordings randomly chosen from Training set A of the 2016 PhysioNet/Computer in Cardiology Challenge and tested on the other 12 independent training and test databases (2099 recordings and 52180 beats). The databases for segmentation were separated into three levels of increasing difficulty (LEVEL-I, -II and -III) for performance reporting. Results: The TFAN-based method achieved a superior F1 score for all 12 databases except for `Test-B', with an average of 96.7%, compared to 94.6% for the state-of-the-art method. Moreover, the TFAN-based method achieved an overall F1 score of 99.2%, 94.4%, 91.4% on LEVEL-I, -II and -III data respectively, compared to 98.4%, 88.54% and 79.80% for the current state-of-the-art method. Conclusion: The TFAN-based method therefore provides a substantial improvement, particularly for more difficult cases, and on data sets not represented in the public training data. Significance: The proposed method is highly flexible and likely to apply to other non-stationary time series. Further work is required to understand to what extent this approach will provide improved diagnostic performance, although it is logical to assume superior segmentation will lead to improved diagnostics.

description: The aim of the paper to was determine the extent that agricultural income and its changes are reflected in the level and structure of the material flows in agriculture of the European Union countries. The strength of the correlation between the agricultural income and material flows to this sector per unit of area (1 ha) was analyzed. The analysis is based on data from 2000, 2010 (material flows) and 2014 (agricultural income). The results proved a moderate correlation between income situation in agriculture and the level and structure of material flows to this sector. The relationship became less strict in the analyzed period. This could be the result of increased dependence on subsidies under the CAP in EU countries. / Synopsis. W artykule podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie w jakim stopniu sytuacja dochodowa rolnictwa i jej zmiany odzwierciedlają się w poziomie i strukturze przepływów materialnych w rolnictwie krajów Unii Europejskiej? Przeprowadzono analizę relacji pomiędzy osiąganymi dochodami w sektorze rolnym a przepływami materialnymi do tego sektora. W pierwszej kolejności badano siłę korelacji pomiędzy badanymi wielkościami a następnie analizie poddano zmiany efektów dochodowych i przepływów do rolnictwa w przeliczeniu na jednostkę obszarową (1 ha). Umożliwiło to analizę porównawczą w układzie międzynarodowym. Zakres czasowy analizy obejmuje 2000 rok oraz 2010 (przepływy materiałowe) i 2014 (dochody rolnicze). Badania wykazały, że istnieje umiarkowana zależność między sytuacją dochodową rolnictwa a poziomem i strukturą przepływów materiałowych do rolnictwa. W ujęciu dynamicznym związek ten stał się mniej ścisły na co wpływ mógł mieć wzrost zależności dochodów od dopłat w ramach WPR w krajach UE.
