description: We present new Plateau de Bure Interferometer observations of a region in the filamentary infrared-dark cloud (IRDC) G011.11-0.12 containing young, star-forming cores. In addition to the 3.2mm continuum emission from cold dust, we map this region in the N$_2$H$^+$(1-0) line to trace the core kinematics with an angular resolution of 2" and velocity resolution of 0.2km s$^{-1}$. These data are presented in concert with recent {\em Herschel} results, single-dish N$_2$H$^+$(1-0) data, SABOCA 350$μ$m continuum data, and maps of the C$^{18}$O (2-1) transition obtained with the IRAM 30m telescope. We recover the star-forming cores at 3.2mm continuum, while in N$_2$H$^+$ they appear at the peaks of extended structures. The mean projected spacing between N$_2$H$^+$ emission peaks is 0.18pc, consistent with simple isothermal Jeans fragmentation. The 0.1pc-sized cores have low virial parameters on the criticality borderline, while on the scale of the whole region, we infer that it is undergoing large-scale collapse. The N$_2$H$^+$ linewidth increases with evolutionary stage, while CO isotopologues show no linewidth variation with core evolution. Centroid velocities of all tracers are in excellent agreement, except in the starless region where two N$_2$H$^+$ velocity components are detected, one of which has no counterpart in C$^{18}$O. We suggest that gas along this line of sight may be falling into the quiescent core, giving rise to the second velocity component, possibly connected to the global collapse of the region.

description: Purpose: Turkey is a country hosting many people of diverse religious beliefs (e.g., Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and a great variety of ethnic origins (e.g., Turks, Greeks, Armenians, Slavs, Arabs, Romanians and Kurds). It is also subject to continuous migratory flows from neighboring countries and beyond. Due to these factors, it has become increasingly evident that a more multicultural educational approach is warranted. In this study, researchers analyzed the level of competency in teachers required for the implementation of such approaches within the framework of individual/personal, classroom, and institution/school levels in order to identify the capabilities of social studies teachers’ multicultural competencies. Method: In this study, researchers used a basic qualitative research design. Using a semi-structured interview technique, one-on-one interviews were conducted with 16 teachers from 8 schools with different socio-economic backgrounds and foreign student numbers. The data was analyzed with a thematic analysis approach. Findings: What was found in the course of the work? This will refer to analysis, discussion, or results. The findings of the study showed that teachers’ multicultural competencies were weak in individual/personal, institutional/school levels and in the integration of cultural characteristics into teaching at the classroom level. However, participating teachers indicated stronger multicultural competencies in other subcategories of the classroom level.

Global Citizenship Education for Non-Citizens?
Creators: name: Risberg, Eirik Julius
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2021

description: • Global Citizenship Education is one of the fastest-growing educational reform movements in educational research and policy development. • Recent theoretical development, however, has given rise to a plethora of different conceptions of what Global Citizenship Education is, and to whom it is directed. • Conceptions of Global Citizenship Education that construe it as an extension of Citizenship Education end up excluding non-citizens, such as migrants and refugees. • Despite the importance of fostering an awareness of existing social injustice, Global Citizenship Education must therefore take the form of a moral cosmopolitanism. Purpose: This article seeks to examine whether Global Citizenship Education is able to address non-citizens, such as migrants and refugees. While conceptions of Global Citizenship Education differ, the popular conception of Global Citizenship Education as an extension of Citizenship Education has left the role of non-citizens precarious and in need of explanation. Approach: Through a theoretical analysis of the dominant approaches to Global Citizenship Education, the articles seeks to expose a lacuna in the postcolonial conception of Global Citizenship Education. Findings: Acknowledging that postcolonial theory has provided a necessary corrective to naïve forms of cosmopolitanism, I argue that a moral or cosmopolitan approach to Global Citizenship Education is more accommodating to non-citizens by allowing them to take part in the conversation. In increasingly diverse societies it is paramount that Global Citizenship Education is able to speak to citizens and non-citizens alike in seeking to foster future global citizens.

description: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas that is naturally produced as a byproduct of nitrogen cycling. Eutrophication elevates nitrogen availability and enhances low-oxygen conditions, thus altering nitrogen cycling and associated N2O availability, but a knowledge gap persists regarding controls on N2O across estuarine environments. I studied three adjacent and nutrient-rich tidal tributaries of the Patapsco River (MD), one of which has engineered aeration (Rock Creek), to quantify how aeration and alterations to oxygen availability and nitrogen cycling will impact N2O production. In all creeks, N2O concentrations were above atmospheric levels and served as a source of N2O to the atmosphere. Oxygen and nitrate availability were most associated with variations in N2O concentrations, and N2O concentrations and air-water fluxes were highest in Rock Creek, especially during summer under non-aerated, but moderately oxygenated conditions. These new data help broaden our understanding of N2O cycling, availability, and distribution within estuarine ecosystems.

description: We present results of the clustering analysis between active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and galaxies at redshift 0.1-1.0 for investigating properties of galaxies associated with the AGNs, revealing the nature of fueling mechanism of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). We used 8059 SDSS AGNs/QSOs for which virial masses of individual SMBHs were measured, and divided them into four mass groups. Cross-correlation analysis was performed and bias for each mass group was derived. The averaged color and luminosity distributions of galaxies around the AGNs/QSOs were also derived for each mass group. The galaxy color was estimated for SED constructed from a merged SDSS and UKIDSS catalog. The distributions of color and luminosity were derived by the subtraction method, which does not require redshift information of galaxies. The main results of this work are: (1) a bias increases by a factor two from the lower mass group to the highest mass group; (2) the environment around AGNs with the most massive SMBH (Mbh > 10^9 Msun) is dominated by red sequence galaxies; (3) marginal indication of decline in luminosity function at dimmer side of M > -19.5 mag is found for galaxies around AGNs with Mbh = 10^8.2 - 10^9 Msun and nearest redshift group (z=0.1-0.3). These results indicate that AGNs with the most massive SMBHs reside in haloes where large fraction of galaxies have been transited to the red sequence. The accretion of hot halo gas as well as recycled gas from evolving stars can be the most plausible mechanism to fuel the SMBHs above ~10^9 Msun.

description: The Planck satellite detectors are calibrated in the 2015 release using the "orbital dipole", which is the time-dependent dipole generated by the Doppler effect due to the motion of the satellite around the Sun. Such an effect has also relativistic time-dependent corrections of relative magnitude 10^(-3), due to coupling with the "solar dipole" (the motion of the Sun compared to the CMB rest frame), which are included in the data calibration by the Planck collaboration. We point out that such corrections are subject to a frequency-dependent multiplicative factor. This factor differs from unity especially at the highest frequencies, relevant for the HFI instrument. Since currently Planck calibration errors are dominated by systematics, to the point that polarization data is currently unreliable at large scales, such a correction can in principle be highly relevant for future data releases.

description: We derived the coronal magnetic field, plasma density, and temperature from the observation of polarization and intensity of radio thermal free-free emission using the Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) observations. We observed a post-flare loop on the west limb 11 April 2013. The line-of-sight magnetic field was derived from the circularly polarized free-free emission observed by NoRH. The emission measure and temperature were derived from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The derived temperature was used to estimate the emission measure from the NoRH radio free-free emission observations. The derived density from NoRH was larger than that determined using AIA, which can be explained by the fact that the low temperature plasma is not within the temperature coverage of the AIA filters used in this study. We also discuss the other observation of the post-flare loops by the EUV Imager onboard the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), which can be used in future studies to reconstruct the coronal magnetic field strength. The derived plasma parameters and magnetic field were used to derive the plasma beta, which is a ratio between the magnetic pressure and the plasma pressure. The derived plasma beta is about 5.7*10^(-4) to 7.6*10^(-4) at the loop top region.

description: Eighty years ago Eyring proposed that the shear viscosity of a liquid, $η$, has a quantum limit $η\gtrsim n\hbar$ where $n$ is the density of the fluid. Using holographic duality and the AdS/CFT correspondence in string theory Kovtun, Son, and Starinets (KSS) conjectured a universal bound $\fracη{s}\geq \frac{\hbar}{4πk_{B}}$ for the ratio between the shear viscosity and the entropy density, $s$. Using Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) we calculate the shear viscosity and entropy density for a fermionic fluid described by a single band Hubbard model at half filling. Our calculated shear viscosity as a function of temperature is compared with experimental data for liquid $^{3}$He. At low temperature the shear viscosity is found to be well above the quantum limit and is proportional to the characteristic Fermi liquid $1/T^{2}$ dependence, where $T$ is the temperature. With increasing temperature and interaction strength $U$ there is significant deviation from the Fermi liquid form. Also, the shear viscosity violates the quantum limit near the crossover from coherent quasi-particle based transport to incoherent transport (the bad metal regime). Finally, the ratio of the shear viscosity to the entropy density is found to be comparable to the KSS bound for parameters appropriate to liquid $^{3}$He. However, this bound is found to be strongly violated in the bad metal regime for parameters appropriate to lattice electronic systems such as organic charge transfer salts.

description: Snake states are trajectories of charge carriers curving back and forth along an interface. There are two types of snake states, formed by either inverting the magnetic field direction or the charge carrier type at an interface. Whereas the former has been demonstrated in GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructures, the latter has become conceivable only with the advance of ballistic graphene where a gapless p-n interface governed by Klein tunneling can be formed. Such snake states were hidden in previous experiments due to limited sample quality. Here we report on magneto-conductance oscillations due to snake states in a ballistic suspended graphene p-n-junction which occur already at a very small magnetic field of 20mT. The visibility of 30% is enabled by Klein collimation. Our finding is firmly supported by quantum transport simulations. We demonstrate the high tunability of the device and operate it in different magnetic field regimes

description: We found a possible relationship between the modulation period and the amplitude of the Blazhko RR Lyrae stars: long modulation period generally implies high modulation amplitude while the short modulation period results in small amplitude. Although this effect is much more a tendency than a strict rule, it can be detected easily in the space-born time series data produced by Kepler and CoRoT. Good quality ground-based data show this relation, too. This phenomenon could give us constraints for the physics of the Blazhko effect.

description: The piecewise parabolic method and related schemes are widely used to model stellar flows. Several different methods for extending the validity of these methods to a general equation of state have been proposed over time, but direct comparisons amongst one-another and exact solutions with stellar equations of state are not widely available. We introduce some simple test problems with exact solutions run with a popular stellar equation of state and test how two existing codes with different approaches to incorporating general gases perform. The source code for generating the exact solutions is made available.

description: Oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) represent a promising passive mechanism for the removal or spreading of heat. While simple to construct, the fluid and thermodynamics of these devices are still poorly understood. There is debate over whether the primary heat transfer mechanism is due to sensible heating of the liquid phase or due to latent heat transfer through phase change. To provide experimental data answering this question, an experimental apparatus was constructed to provide local temperature and heat transfer data across the face of an OHP during operation. This experiment utilized temperature sensitive paint alongside visual recording of the fluid motion in order to determine the relative latent and sensible contribution to the overall heat transfer. The OHP was tested with input powers ranging from 2.6 W to 10.1 W. It found that latent heat transfer was dominant, representing between 65% and 85% of the total heat transferred in all cases.

description: In this work, we compare gyrokinetic (GK) and fully kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of magnetic reconnection in the limit of strong guide field. In particular, we analyze the limits of applicability of the GK plasma model compared to a fully kinetic description of force free current sheets for finite guide fields ($b_g$). Here we report the first part of an extended comparison, focusing on the macroscopic effects of the electron flows. For a low beta plasma ($β_i=0.01$), it is shown that both plasma models develop magnetic reconnection with similar features in the secondary magnetic islands if a sufficiently high guide field ($b_g\gtrsim 30$) is imposed in the kinetic PIC simulations. Outside of these regions, in the separatrices close to the X points, the convergence between both plasma descriptions is less restrictive ($b_g\gtrsim 5$). Kinetic PIC simulations using guide fields $b_g \lesssim 30$ reveal secondary magnetic islands with a core magnetic field and less energetic flows inside of them in comparison to the GK or kinetic PIC runs with stronger guide fields. We find that these processes are mostly due to an initial shear flow absent in the GK initialization and negligible in the kinetic PIC high guide field regime, in addition to fast outflows on the order of the ion thermal speed that violate the GK ordering. Since secondary magnetic islands appear after the reconnection peak time, a kinetic PIC/GK comparison is more accurate in the linear phase of magnetic reconnection. For a high beta plasma ($β_i=1.0$) where reconnection rates and fluctuations levels are reduced, similar processes happen in the secondary magnetic islands in the fully kinetic description, but requiring much lower guide fields ($b_g\lesssim 3$).

description: The methodologies of bioinspiration, biomimetics, and bioreplication are inevitably pointing to the incorporation of multifunctionality in engineered materials when designing ever more complex systems. Optimal multifunctionality is also the defining characteristic of metamaterials. As fibrous materials are commonly manufactured from a variety of source materials, mimumes---i.e., microfibrous multifunctional metamaterials---are industrially viable even today, as exemplified by mimumes of parylene C. The microfibrous morphology of mimumes will enhance surface-dominated effects in comparison to those evinced by bulk materials.

description: Abstract: Adult siblings without disabilities play important roles in relation to their brothers and sisters with intellectual disabilities. This study reviewed knowledge about adult sibling relationships in Chinese societies, where one sibling has intellectual disability. Five English and two Chinese databases were searched for publications published up to 2022. Findings, based on 14 identified articles show that sibling relationships are considered in the context of parent-child relationships. Little attention is given to the nature of sibling relationships per se. Rather, research in Chinese societies generally frames sibling relationships as one-way caregiving, and where siblings’ caregiving responsibilities are inherited from parents, increase as parents age and are organised according to gender and birth order. These findings contrast to Western studies where increasingly perspectives of adults with intellectual disabilities are sought and the reciprocal nature of sibling relationships is highlighted. Future research in Chinese societies may benefit from exploring aspects of relationships beyond caregiving.

description: We theoretically study coherent subharmonic (multi-photon) transitions of a harmonically driven spin. We consider two cases: magnetic resonance (MR) with a misaligned, i.e., non-transversal driving field, and electrically driven spin resonance (EDSR) of an electron confined in a one-dimensional, parabolic quantum dot, subject to Rashba spin-orbit interaction. In the EDSR case, we focus on the limit where the orbital level spacing of the quantum dot is the greatest energy scale. Then, we apply time-dependent Schrieffer-Wolff erturbation theory to derive a time-dependent effective two-level Hamiltonian, allowing to describe both MR and EDSR using the Floquet theory of periodically driven two-level systems. In particular, we characterise the fundamental (single-photon) and the half-harmonic (two-photon) spin transitions. We demonstrate the appearance of two-photon Rabi oscillations, and analytically calculate the fundamental and half-harmonic resonance frequencies and the corresponding Rabi frequencies. For EDSR, we find that both the fundamental and the half-harmonic resonance frequency changes upon increasing the strength of the driving electric field, which is an effect analogous to the Bloch-Siegert shift known from MR. Remarkably, the drive-strength dependent correction to the fundamental EDSR resonance frequency has an anomalous, negative sign, in contrast to the corresponding Bloch-Siegert shift in MR which is always positive. Our analytical results are supported by numerical simulations, as well as by qualitative interpretations for simple limiting cases.

description: The interpretation of quark ($q$)- antiquark ($\bar q$) pairs production and the sequential string breaking as tunneling through the event horizon of colour confinement leads to a thermal hadronic spectrum with a universal Unruh temperature, $T \simeq 165$ Mev,related to the quark acceleration, $a$, by $T=a/2π$. The resulting temperature depends on the quark mass and then on the content of the produced hadrons, causing a deviation from full equilibrium and hence a suppression of strange particle production in elementary collisions. In nucleus-nucleus collisions, where the quark density is much bigger, one has to introduce an average temperature (acceleration) which dilutes the quark mass effect and the strangeness suppression almost disappears.

description: This thesis studies the dynamics of a colloidal suspension, consisting of concentrated nan-oparticles with a silica core and a polymer shell of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm)suspended in water. The thermosresponsive polymer PNIPAm is known for its volume phasetransition at a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of about 32−33◦C. Below thistemperature, the polymer is hydrophilic and therefore swollen with water, whereas above theLCST, PNIPAm transforms into a hydrophobic state, leading to a contraction due to expelledwater molecules. This hydrophobic collapse is investigated by the method of Dynamic LightScattering (DLS) for various particle concentrations with volume fractions up to $Φ_{eff}$= 0.27.All samples are studied in a temperature range around the LCST, i.e. 15◦C < T < 42◦C, in a process of heating and subsequent cooling. Thus, the diffusion behaviour of the differentlydiluted samples is analysed and the hydrodynamic radius of the particles can be determined.Moreover, the naturally stabilizing osmolyte trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which isknown to promote the folding process in proteins, is added as a co-solvent to the colloidalsuspension in concentrations of up to 2 mol/l. Increasing concentrations of TMAO are shownto raise the fluids’ viscosity and decrease the size of the particles. Most importantly, TMAOis demonstrated to shift the LCST, at which the PNIPAm shell collapses, to lower temperat-ures as a squared monotonously decreasing function. After presenting a decrease in diffusionbehaviour for intermediate volume fractions, TMAO is shown to strongly change the dynam-ics in highly concentrated samples. Here, the intensity auto-correlation functions display theshape of a stretched exponential, induced by the occurrence of differently sized particles, ag-glomerations or distinctive dynamic domains. Through the technique of 3D DLS employedto reduce multiple scattering, the sample is found to be strongly opaque, which, togetherwith the observed arrangement of particles, is interpreted as evidence for the formation of a colloidal gel.

description: In this paper, we devise a framework to infer a smartphone user's location and walking routes in an indoor environment, using only the information from inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors like gyroscope and accelerometer. To overcome the shortcoming of estimation drift over time in common PDR (pedestrian dead reckoning)-IMU systems, we propose a map-aided system which uses the map elements to help correct the user's position. We generate a map based on the environment parameters and a map matching algorithm is applied to find the most likely location of the user. The reading from the IMU sensors contains amounts of noise when user is walking, therefore we propose an edge detection algorithm based on the PELT model to smooth the piece-wise signals and identify the time frame when the user is making a turn. We evaluate our system when the smartphone is held either in the user's hand or in the backpack, and the system is able to give the correct walking path in both cases.

Momentum entanglement in relativistic quantum mechanics

description: I present a new group-theoretical approach to the interaction mechanism of elementary particle physics. Within an irreducible unitary two-particle representation of the Poincare group, the commutation relations of the Poincare group require that the two-particle states be momentum entangled. As in gauge theories, momentum entanglement defines a correlation between two particles that can be described as an interaction provided by the exchange of virtual (gauge) quanta. The coupling constant of this interaction is uniquely determined by the structure of the irreducible two-particle state space. For two massive spin one-half particles, the coupling constant matches the empirical value of the electromagnetic coupling constant.

description: We consider possible designs and experimental realiza-tions in synthesized rather than naturally occurring bio-chemical systems of a selection of basic bio-inspired information processing steps. These include feed-forward loops, which have been identified as the most common information processing motifs in many natural pathways in cellular functioning, and memory-involving processes, specifically, associative memory. Such systems should not be designed to literally mimic nature. Rather, we can be guided by nature's mechanisms for experimenting with new information/signal processing steps which are based on coupled biochemical reactions, but are vastly simpler than natural processes, and which will provide tools for the long-term goal of understanding and harnessing nature's information processing paradigm. Our biochemical processes of choice are enzymatic cascades because of their compatibility with physiological processes in vivo and with electronics (e.g., electrodes) in vitro allowing for networking and interfacing of enzyme-catalyzed processes with other chemical and biochemical reactions. In addition to designing and realizing feed-forward loops and other processes, one has to develop approaches to probe their response to external control of the time-dependence of the input(s), by measuring the resulting time-dependence of the output. The goal will be to demonstrate the expected features, for example, the delayed response and stabilizing effect of the feed-forward loops.
Dark Matter from the Supersymmetric Custodial Triplet Model

description: The Supersymmetric Custodial Triplet Model (SCTM) adds to the particle content of the MSSM three $SU(2)_L$ triplet chiral superfields with hypercharge $Y=(0,\pm1)$. At the superpotential level the model respects a global $SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R$ symmetry only broken by the Yukawa interactions. The pattern of vacuum expectation values of the neutral doublet and triplet scalar fields depends on the symmetry pattern of the Higgs soft breaking masses. We study the cases where this symmetry is maintained in the Higgs sector, and when it is broken only by the two doublets attaining different vacuum expectation values. In the former case, the symmetry is spontaneously broken down to the vectorial subgroup $SU(2)_V$ and the $ρ$ parameter is protected by the custodial symmetry. However in both situations the $ρ$ parameter is protected at tree level, allowing for light triplet scalars with large vacuum expectation values. We find that over a large range of parameter space, a light neutralino can supply the correct relic abundance of dark matter either through resonant s-channel triplet scalar funnels or well tempering of the Bino with the triplet fermions. Direct detection experiments have trouble probing these model points because the custodial symmetry suppresses the coupling of the neutralino and the $Z$ and a small Higgsino component of the neutralino suppresses the coupling with the Higgs. Likewise the annihilation cross sections for indirect detection lie below the Fermi-LAT upper bounds for the different channels.

description: В работе анализируется проблема поиска множества пар модулярных оснований, равноотстоящих от среднего основания, которые обеспечивают минимум бивалентного эффекта, а их произведение перекрывает требуемый вычислительный диапазон. Нахождение таких оснований позволяет перераспределением избыточности в регистрах для меньших в паре оснований размещать бинарные комбинации, которые невозможно разместить в регистрах для больших в паре оснований.
description: The article analyzes the problem of searching a set of pairs of modular bases equidistant from the mean base. These pairs provide a minimum of the bivalent effect, and their product covers the required computational range. By finding the bases, binary combinations that cannot be placed in registers for larger bases in a pair can be placed in those for smaller bases in a pair by redistribution of redundancy.
Elko and mass dimension one field of spin one half: causality and Fermi statistics

description: We review how Elko arise as an extension of complex valued four-component Majorana spinors. This is followed by a discussion that constrains certain elements of phase freedom. A proof is reviewed that unambiguously establishes that Elko, and for that matter the indicated Majorana spinors, cannot satisfy Dirac equation. They, however do, as they must, satisfy spinorial Klein-Gordon equation. We then introduce a quantum field with Elko as its expansion coefficients and show that it is causal, satisfies Fermi statistics, and then refer to the existing literature to remind that its mass dimensionally is one. We conclude by providing an up-to-date bibliography on the subject.

description: A recent study aimed to understand narcissistic leaders and who is most likely to follow them. The results revealed a few patterns. If you are someone who is always looking out for others, empathizes with others, and seeks harmony and consensus in your team (known as agreeable followers), you are more likely to be susceptible to following a narcissistic leader. If you are someone who gets anxious and worried easily or likes to get started on work projects early on to prevent anxiety as a deadline draws closer (known as neurotic followers), you probably prefer engaging with narcissistic leaders.

description: Protein modeling is a rapidly expanding field with valuable applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Accurate protein structure prediction facilitates drug design, as extensive knowledge about the atomic structure of a given protein enables scientists to target that protein in the human body. However, protein structure identification in certain types of protein images remains challenging, with medium resolution cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) protein density maps particularly difficult to analyze. Recent advancements in computational methods, namely deep learning, have improved protein modeling. To maximize its accuracy, a deep learning model requires copious amounts of up-to-date training data.

This project explores DeepSSETracer, a software tool that uses deep learning to predict protein secondary structures in medium resolution cryo-EM density maps of protein samples. Python scripts were created to automate data acquisition tasks for DeepSSETracer. Furthermore, the Python library PDBx was used to parse mmCIF protein files. mmCIF is a relatively new file type that stores experimentally derived atomic models of proteins, and they have begun to replace the conventional PDB file type as the standard for atomic models. This project culminated in making ChainChopper, a program in DeepSSETracer, compatible with the mmCIF file type.
