description: This thesis explores Francis Picabia’s (1879-1953) collaboration with the avant-garde dance troupe the Ballets Suédois on the 1924 production Relâche. I reveal this ballet’s significant links to early performances in Zurich, the city of Dada’s origins. While current scholarship deems Relâche a Dada performance, there has been little analysis of its connection to the anarchic spirit that reigned in the Zurich cabaret. I make a case that Relâche is much more than a work born out of personal rivalries between the project’s collaborators, as is often remarked. Instead, I argue that this production reveals Picabia’s rejection of the turn toward Surrealism within the Dada circles in Paris. The tensions within the Paris Dada group came to a head in 1921 with the staging of two Dada “Saisons,” or seasons, spearheaded by Picabia and the poets Tristan Tzara and André Breton. These differences, which ultimately led Breton to establish the Surrealist movement in 1924 catalyzed Picabia’s critique in Relâche. Through the ballet, Picabia declared his allegiance to an earlier conception of Dada, rooted in multimedia performances that took place at the Cabaret Voltaire and the Galerie Dada: Relâche was conceived as a return to the provocative spirit of Dada’s early days.

description: At the macroscale, the brain operates as a network of interconnected neuronal populations, which display rhythmic dynamics that support interareal communication. Understanding how stimulation of a particular brain area impacts such concerted activity is important for gaining basic insights into brain function and for developing neuromodulation as a therapeutic tool. However, it remains difficult to predict the downstream effects of focal stimulation. Specifically, little is known about how the collective oscillatory regime of network activity may affect the outcomes of regional perturbations on cooperative dynamics. Here, we combine connectome data and biophysical modeling to begin filling these gaps. By tuning parameters that control the collective dynamics of the network, we identify distinct states of simulated brain activity, and investigate how the distributed effects of stimulation manifest in different states. When baseline oscillations are weak, the stimulated area exhibits enhanced power and frequency, and due to network interactions, nearby regions develop phase locked activity in the excited frequency band. Importantly, we find that focal stimulation also causes more distributed modifications to network coherence at regions' baseline oscillation frequencies, and that these effects are better predicted by functional rather than structural connectivity. In contrast, when the network operates in a regime of stronger endogenous oscillations, stimulation causes only slight shifts in power and frequency, and network averaged changes in coherence are more homogenous across the choice of the stimulated area. In sum, this work builds upon and extends previous computational studies investigating the impacts of stimulation, and highlights that both the stimulation site, and, crucially, the regime of brain network dynamics, can influence the network wide responses to local perturbations.

description: The interactions between proteins, DNA, and RNA in living cells constitute molecular networks that govern various cellular functions. To investigate the global dynamical properties and stabilities of such networks, we studied the cell-cycle regulatory network of the budding yeast. With the use of a simple dynamical model, it was demonstrated that the cell-cycle network is extremely stable and robust for its function. The biological stationary state--the G1 state--is a global attractor of the dynamics. The biological pathway--the cell-cycle sequence of protein states--is a globally attracting trajectory of the dynamics. These properties are largely preserved with respect to small perturbations to the network. These results suggest that cellular regulatory networks are robustly designed for their functions.

description: In this paper, we studied the research areas of Chinese natural science basic research from a point view of complex network. Two research areas are considered to be connected if they appear in one fund proposal. The explicit network of such connections using data from 1999 to 2004 is constructed. The analysis of the real data shows that the degree distribution of the {\bf research areas network} (RAN) may be better fitted by the exponential distribution. It displays small world effect in which randomly chosen pairs of research areas are typically separated by only a short path of intermediate research areas. The average distance of RAN decreases with time, while the average clustering coefficient increases with time, which indicates that the scientific study would like to be integrated together in terms of the studied areas. The relationship between the clustering coefficient $C(k)$ and the degree $k$ indicates that there is no hierarchical organization in RAN.

description: The structure and dynamics of confined suspensions of particles of arbitrary shape is of interest in multiple disciplines, from biology to engineering. Theoretical studies are often limited by the complexity of long-range particle-particle and particle-wall forces, including many-body fluctuating hydrodynamic interactions. Here, we report a computational study on the diffusion of spherical and cylindrical particles confined in a spherical cavity. We rely on an Immersed-Boundary General geometry Ewald-like method to capture lubrication and long-range hydrodynamics, and include appropriate non-slip conditions at the confining walls. A Chebyshev polynomial approximation is used to satisfy the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for the Brownian suspension. We explore how lubrication, long-range hydrodynamics, particle volume fraction and shape affect the equilibrium structure and the diffusion of the particles. It is found that once the particle volume fraction is greater than $10\%$, the particles start to form layered aggregates that greatly influence particle dynamics. Hydrodynamic interactions strongly influence the particle diffusion by inducing spatially dependent short-time diffusion coefficients, stronger wall effects on the particle diffusion towards the walls, and a sub-diffusive regime --caused by crowding-- in the long-time particle mobility. The level of asymmetry of the cylindrical particles considered here is enough to induce an orientational order in the layered structure, decreasing the diffusion rate and facilitating a transition to the crowded mobility regime at low particle concentrations. Our results offer fundamental insights into the diffusion and distribution of globular and fibrillar proteins inside cells.

Fermi edge singularity in a non-equilibrium system

description: We report exact results for the Fermi Edge Singularity in the absorption spectrum of an out-of-equilibrium tunnel junction. We consider two metals with chemical potential difference V separated by a tunneling barrier containing a defect, which exists in one of two states. When it is in its excited state, tunneling through the otherwise impermeable barrier is possible. We find that the lineshape not only depends on the total scattering phase shift as in the equilibrium case but also on the difference in the phase of the reflection amplitudes on the two sides of the barrier. The out-of-equilibrium spectrum extends below the original threshold as energy can be provided by the power source driving current across the barrier. Our results have a surprisingly simple interpretation in terms of known results for the equilibrium case but with (in general complex-valued) combinations of elements of the scattering matrix replacing the equilibrium phase shifts.

description: Erei is a generic name for the language and people. It belongs to the Niger-Congo phylum of languages, and it is spoken predominantly by the Erei people in Biase Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria. The paper examines English loanwords, particularly English nouns, as lexical enrichment to Erei. The study adopts Einar Haugen’s (1950) Analysis of Linguistic Borrowing Model as the appropriate theoretical framework. This model is considered because it considers borrowings which are analyzable into word classes as a universal characteristic of languages. Data for the study were obtained using participant (speech) observation, direct interaction with Erei native speakers in their naturally occurring speech events, and other secondary sources. The findings reveal that Erei borrows massively from English lexicons, especially of the noun class (proper, countable, uncountable and collective nouns) which are influenced by the Christian religion, sociolinguistic and cultural, technological and phonological factors believed to facilitate the adoption, adaptation, modification and integration of the loans into the Erei vocabulary. There is the need, therefore, for the gradual development and review of Erei corpus to accommodate new developments.

description: In this paper, we present a visual analytics tool for enabling hypothesis-based evaluation of machine learning (ML) models. We describe a novel ML-testing framework that combines the traditional statistical hypothesis testing (commonly used in empirical research) with logical reasoning about the conclusions of multiple hypotheses. The framework defines a controlled configuration for testing a number of hypotheses as to whether and how some extra information about a "concept" or "feature" may benefit or hinder a ML model. Because reasoning multiple hypotheses is not always straightforward, we provide HypoML as a visual analysis tool, with which, the multi-thread testing data is transformed to a visual representation for rapid observation of the conclusions and the logical flow between the testing data and hypotheses.We have applied HypoML to a number of hypothesized concepts, demonstrating the intuitive and explainable nature of the visual analysis.

description: A self-consistent and universal description of friction and diffusion for Brownian particles (grains) in different systems, as a gas with Boltzmann collisions, dusty plasma with ion absorption by grains, and for active particles (e.g., cells in biological systems) is suggested on the basis of the appropriate Fokker-Planck equation. Restrictions for application of the Fokker-Planck equation to the problem of velocity-dependent friction and diffusion coefficients are found. General description for this coefficient is formulated on the basis of master equation. Relation of the diffusion coefficient in the coordinate and velocity spaces is found for active (capable to transfer momentum to the ambient media) and passive particles in the framework of the Fokker-Planck equation. The problem of anomalous space diffusion is formulated on the basis of the appropriate probability transition (PT) function. The method of partial differentiation is avoided to construct the correct probability distributions for arbitrary distances, what is important for applications to different stochastic problems. Generale equation for time-dependent PT function is formulated and discussed. Generalized friction in the velocity space is determined and applied to describe the friction force itself as well as the drag force in the case of a non-zero driven ion velocity in plasmas. The negative friction due to ion scattering on grains exists and can be realized for the appropriate experimental conditions.

description: Beliefs about knowledge have been found to relate to a variety of student outcomes and to vary across educational domains and instructional contexts. However, there are limited data on students’ beliefs about information and truth, vis-à-vis knowledge (i.e., epistemic beliefs) and how these beliefs differ across instructional settings. Undergraduates from two educational contexts, in the USA (n = 240) and the Netherlands (n = 72), participated in this study. While students in the USA were enrolled primarily in lecture and discussion classes, students in the Netherlands followed a problem-based learning curriculum. Beliefs about knowledge, information, and truth and their interrelations were examined across these two contexts through graphical and written justification tasks. Results from this exploratory study indicate that Dutch students were more likely than American students to depict knowledge, information, and truth as subjective and to define knowledge and information as synonymous. Commonalities and differences associated with educational backgrounds are considered in relation to instructional implications.

description: 1. The food marketing system in Trinidad and Tobago is a serious limit on meaningful economic development. 2. In the interest of overall development, it is unwise to increase local food production and leave the marketing system unchanged, marketing development must be concurrent with production growth. 3. Even if food production is increased in the short run, failure to develop suitable marketing arrangements is likely to lead to a decrease in farm production and a resort to further imports in the long run. 4. There exists the need for greater levels of farmer involvement and more meaningful state participation in all levels of planning, input supply, production and marketing.
Trade Agreements and Enforcement : Evidence from WTO Dispute Settlement
Creators: name: Brown, Chad P.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This paper examines the implications of the terms-of-trade theory for the determinants of outcomes arising under the enforcement provisions of international agreements. Like original trade agreement negotiations, the paper models formal trade dispute negotiations as potentially addressing the terms-of-trade externality problem that governments implement import protection above the globally efficient level so as to shift some of the policy’s costs to trading partners. The approach is to extend earlier theoretical models of trade agreement accession negotiations to the setting of enforcement negotiations in order to guide the empirical assessment. The paper uses instrumental variables to estimate the model on trade volume outcomes from World Trade Organization (WTO) disputes over 1995–2009. The evidence is consistent with theoretical predictions that larger import volume outcomes are associated with products that have smaller increases in foreign exporter-received prices (terms-of-trade losses for the importer) as a result of the dispute, larger pre-dispute import volumes, larger import demand elasticities, and smaller foreign export supply elasticities. Dispute settlement outcome differences are also explained by variation in institutionally-motivated measures of retaliation capacity and the severity of the free-rider problem associated with foreign exporter concentration.

description: We apply a new entropic scheme to study the critical behavior of the square-lattice Ising model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions. Estimates of the present scheme are compared with those of the Metropolis algorithm. We consider interactions in the range where superantiferromagnetic (SAF) order appears at low temperatures. A recent prediction of a first-order transition along a certain range (0.5-1.2) of the interaction ratio $(R=J_{nnn}/J_{nn})$ is examined by generating accurate data for large lattices at a particular value of the ratio $(R=1)$. Our study does not support a first-order transition and a convincing finite-size scaling analysis of the model is presented, yielding accurate estimates for all critical exponents for R=1 . The magnetic exponents are found to obey ``weak universality'' in accordance with a previous conjecture.

title: Teachers' and students' perceived difficulties in implementing communicative language teaching in Bangladesh: A critical study
Creators: name: Hassan, Mohammad Kamrul
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis investigates teachers' and students perceived difficulties in implementing communicative language teaching (CLT) in English language classes in Bangladeshi secondary schools. It examines the extent to which factors both from the teachers and students perspective contribute to these difficulties. This study used multiple methods to explore teacher and student practices and perceptions regarding CLT (Golafshani, 2003), and it was influenced by an ethnographical approach (Denzin, 1994; Jeffrey and Troman, 2004; Hammersley, 2006). Quantitative methods such as statistical analysis of classroom observation 'data have been used alongside qualitative methods such as thematic analysis of interview data. Classroom observation reveals that teachers apply only minimal CL T principles in their classroom practice. Interview data reveal that there were two major perceived difficulties in implementing CLT in the classroom: pedagogical difficulties and environmental and personal difficulties. The factors that contribute to perceived pedagogical difficulties include insufficient training for both pre-service and in-service teachers; low English proficiency; inconsistency between the CLT approach and the national examination system; teachers' orientation- to traditional methods; the role of private tuition; isolated grammar practice; separation of female and male students in the school, and teachers' lack of familiarity with general teaching techniques. Interviews also reveal that environmental and personal difficulties are perceived to inhibit CLT classroom instruction. In order to work towards the provision of quality English language teaching in Bangladesh, this thesis reflects on the significant barriers to implementing CLT in Bangladeshi secondary schools and considers the steps that need to be taken to better prepare teachers for teaching English in this and other similar contexts. A thorough understanding of the multiple pedagogical, environmental and personal difficulties that teachers and students face in the English language classroom will help teacher educators and policy makers understand the complexity of implementing pedagogical change in this context.
Sheaf Morphisms Induced by Dynamical Systems
Creators: name: Williams, Jackson
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Interrelated sets of data can be modeled in the form of a mathematical object called a sheaf. Essentially, a sheaf over a collection of sets represents a hypothesis about exactly how the data in those sets affect one another. This structure has many useful properties for data analysis and is the optimal way to think about the relationships between all sorts of data sets. Now similarly, a dynamical system acting on a set is a way of modeling relationships within a set of data and how they progress over time. Dynamical systems model many physical events or other patterns that can be found in the real world and can be used to make predictions about the future state of a set of data or even of many related sets of data. Bringing these two modeling concepts together we will demonstrate how, firstly, a dynamical system over a set of data can be represented in the form of a sheaf, and that doing so will provide all the analytic tools of sheaf theory to the study of that dynamical system. Secondly we will show that when such a sheaf is constructed, the progression of the time parameter of the dynamical system induces functions on the stalks of that sheaf and this set of new functions is in fact a sheaf morphism. Lastly we will show a few examples of this construction being done and how in some cases it can be done in more than one way.

description: There are three movements, also called “waves”, influencing global coffee market and consumption. Each features a diversified set of priorities and philosophies, contributing in different ways for the experience in appreciating this beverage. In Brazil, the Third Wave gained momentum in the last five years, which can significantly contribute to improve the quality of coffees consumed in the country. We aimed to understand how the Third Wave Coffee presents itself in the strategies adopted by coffee shops in Minas Gerais, by means of semi-structured interviews conducted with the owners of three coffee shops located in municipalities of different sizes, based on the concept of Third Wave. We verified high adherence rate to the principles of this movement, but with the adoption of two different postures, purism and transition. We conclude that such postures may be influenced by many factors and may contribute in different ways to the consumption of specialty coffees in Brazil.

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

description: We study the matter effect caused by non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) in the future solar neutrino experiments, DUNE, HK and MICA. The upcoming reactor experiment, JUNO is expected to provide the most precise measurements of solar neutrino oscillation parameters and is going to open up the era of sub-percent precision in the leptonic mixing sector of the Standard Model (SM). Considering JUNO can measure $Δm ^2 _{21}$ and $θ_{12}$ by sub-percent precision and assuming SM as the null hypothesis, we study the possibility to constrain NSI parameters by the future solar neutrino experiments such as DUNE, HK and MICA. For this purpose, we study the effect of NSI on solar neutrino propagation in the Sun and Earth and explore the dependence of the day-night asymmetry on the NSI parameters. We also study the effect of NSI at the water Cerenkov detector on the simulated data for these experiments.

description: We discuss mode-entangled states based on the optical transverse modes of the optical field propagating in multi-mode waveguides, which are classical analogs of the quantum entangled states. The analogs are discussed in detail, including the violation of the Bell inequality and the correlation properties of optical pulses' group delays. The research on these analogs may be important, for it not only provides useful insights into fundamental features of quantum entanglement, but also yields new insights into quantum computation and quantum communication.

description: This research analyses the language of medical case notes (MCNs) produced by medical personnel in Nigeria. The study examines the explicatural strategies that help in the appropriate interpretation of the discourse. Twenty case notes were purposively sampled from two privately owned hospitals in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The data were subjected to a pragmatic analysis using Wilson and Sperber‟s Theoretical Concept of Explicature. The findings show the deployment of three explicatural strategies of enrichment in the discourse: gap filling, reference assignment and bridging by the medical personnel in the recovery of the propositional contents of case notes with linguistic peculiarities. The study reveals professional competence and concludes that the pragmatic implication of enrichment in the interpretation of such medical discourses enhances the appropriate diagnosis of diseases and treatment of patients which are the core tasks of the medical personnel.

description: We briefly discuss a handful of topics in pulsar astrophysics, first some general well-known features, then an overview of the glitch phenomenon and the sort of information gathered about the internal structure and dynamics, and finally the quandary posed by the precession of PSR B1828-11 a very important clue pointing towards a novel paradigm for structure of the core regions. We point out that "exotic" solutions for the precession puzzle would force a consideration of exotic {\it glitch} mechanisms as well.

description: The phase structure and critical phenomena of the 3+1 dimensional charged black holes in asymptotically flat spacetime are investigated in terms of thermodynamic properties within the Rényi statistics. With this approach as the non-extensive parameter above zero, we find that the charged black hole can be in thermodynamic equilibrium with surrounding thermal radiation, and have a Hawking-Page phase transition in the same way in the case of AdS charged black hole. This gives more evidence supporting the proposal that there exists an equivalence between the black hole thermodynamics in asymptotically flat spacetime via Rényi statistics and that in asymptotically AdS spacetime via Gibbs-Boltzmann statistics, proposed by Czinner et al. However, the present work also provides another aspect of supporting evidence through exploring the extended phase space within the Rényi statistics. Working on a modified version of Smarr formula, the thermodynamic pressure $P$ and volume $v$ of a charged black hole are found to be related to the non-extensive parameter. The resulting $P-v$ diagram indicates that the thermodynamics of charged black holes in asymptotically flat spacetime via Rényi statistics has the Van der Waals phase structure, equivalent to that in asymptotically AdS spacetime via Gibbs-Boltzmann statistics.

description: The observation of an unusual spin resonant excitation in the superconducting state of various High-Tc ~copper oxides by inelastic neutron scattering measurements is reviewed. This magnetic mode % (that does not exist in conventional superconductors) is discussed in light of a few theoretical models and likely corresponds to a spin-1 collective mode.

description: Dental caries advances to be a significant global health concern, primarily attributed to the virulent actions of Streptococcus mutans. The antibacterial property of the bark extract of Alstonia scholaris was assessed using standard disc diffusion assays, which revealed significant inhibition of S. mutans. Subsequently, we determined the Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) revealed potent antibacterial activity of bark extract against S. mutans, at MIC and MBC values 62.5 and 125 µg/mL, respectively and antibiofilm activity at 125 µg/mL. Furthermore, cytotoxicity assays showed no adverse effects on mammalian cells. Moreover, we employed liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry to identify bioactive compounds in the bark extract and revealed the presence of major active compounds as Monomelittoside and Dichotomoside D effective in targeting the S. mutans. These findings showed that, the promising antibacterial efficacy of Monomelittoside and Dichotomoside D, highlighting their potential as natural therapeutics for combating dental caries.

description: Primary products account for nearly half of Brazil’s exports in 2014. The agricultural sector was responsible for most of this, due to the expansion of cultivated areas, and increased productivity and consumption by Asian countries. Despite good performance, the producers from this sector must manage the risks involved in production. The aim of this study was to estimate the systematic risk of more agricultural products produced in Brazil, such as sugar, coffee, corn, wheat and soybeans, in relation to international future price, Bovespa Index, S&P 500 and the exchange rate. We estimate the asset pricing model (CAPM) and the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) with daily data obtained from January 2010 to March 2015. The results indicate that the products have positive sensitivity to financial markets and future prices and negative sensitivity to exchange rate. The findings suggest that agricultural products have homogeneous behavior and are highly associated to changes in financial and foreign exchange market.

description: Simultaneous observations of explosive chromospheric evaporation are presented using data from the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) and the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) onboard SOHO. For the first time, co-spatial imaging and spectroscopy have been used to observe explosive evaporation within a hard X-ray emitting region. RHESSI X-ray images and spectra were used to determine the flux of non-thermal electrons accelerated during the impulsive phase of an M2.2 flare. Assuming a thick-target model, the injected electron spectrum was found to have a spectral index of ~7.3, a low energy cut-off of ~20 keV, and a resulting flux of >4x10^10 ergs cm^-2 s^-1. The dynamic response of the atmosphere was determined using CDS spectra, finding a mean upflow velocity of 230+/-38 km s^-1 in Fe XIX (592.23A), and associated downflows of 36+/-16 km s^-1 and 43+/-22 km s^-1 at chromospheric and transition region temperatures, respectively, relative to an averaged quiet-Sun spectra. The errors represent a 1 sigma dispersion. The properties of the accelerated electron spectrum and the corresponding evaporative velocities were found to be consistent with the predictions of theory.
