description: We derive the statistical limit of the spectral autocorrelation function and of the survival probability for the indirect photodissociation of molecules in the regime of non-overlapping resonances. The results are derived in the framework of random matrix theory, and hold more generally for any chaotic quantum system that is weakly coupled to the continuum. The "correlation hole" that characterizes the spectral autocorrelation in the bound molecule diminishes as the typical average total width of a resonance increases.

description: We discuss in this paper the canonical structure of classical field theory in finite dimensions within the {\it{pataplectic}} Hamiltonian formulation, where we put forward the role of Legendre correspondance. We define the generalized Poisson $\mathfrak{p}$-brackets which are the analogues of the Poisson bracket on forms. We formulate the equations of motion of forms in terms of $\mathfrak{p}$-brackets. As illustration of our formalism we present three examples: the interacting scalar fields, conformal string theory and the electromagnetic field.

Large localizations of finite simple groups

description: A group homomorphism eta:H-->G is called a localization of H if every homomorphism phi:H-->G can be `extended uniquely' to a homomorphism Phi:G-->G in the sense that Phi eta=phi. Libman showed that a localization of a finite group need not be finite. This is exemplified by a well-known representation A_n-->SO_{n-1}(R) of the alternating group A_n, which turns out to be a localization for n even and n>9. Dror Farjoun asked if there is any upper bound in cardinality for localizations of A_n. In this paper we answer this question and prove, under the generalized continuum hypothesis, that every non abelian finite simple group H, has arbitrarily large localizations. This shows that there is a proper class of distinct homotopy types which are localizations of a given Eilenberg--Mac Lane space K(H,1) for any non abelian finite simple group H.

description: The safe and sustainable management of tailings and mine waste requires effective communication and information management. The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) discusses the requirement for a tailings management system (TMS), which “comprises the key components for management and design of the tailings facility.” Several key documents are required to form the foundation of the TMS, including the site characterization report, the design basis report (DBR), the operations, maintenance and surveillance (OMS) manual and the emergency preparedness and response plan (EPRP). This paper will focus on how Gold Fields has transformed its approach to OMS manual development and how they integrate with an overarching TMS. This shift offers significant benefits, including the creation of “one source of truth” of information, easier update and maintenance, simplified and targeted training, meaningful integration of tailings management into site systems, and the ability to monitor and assess competency against specific tasks. The paper emphasizes the critical role of effective communication and how role-specific training is key in safe tailings and mine waste management. The paper presents a case study of a transformed OMS Manual in operation at the Gold Fields Tarkwa Mine in Ghana.

Buchdahl compactness limit and gravitational field energy
Creators: name: Dadhich, Naresh
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main aim of this paper is essentially to point out that the Buchdahl compactness limit of a static object is given by \it{gravitational field energy being less than or equal to half of its non-gravitational matter energy}. It is thus entirely determined without any reference to interior distribution by the exterior unique solutions, the Schwarzschild for neutral and the Reissner-Nordstr{$\ddot o$}m for charged object. In terms of surface potential, it reads as $Φ(R) = (M-Q^2/2R)/R \leq 4/9$ which translates to surface red-shift being less than or equal to $3$. It also prescribes an upper bound on charge an object could have, $Q^2/M^2 \leq 9/8 > 1$.

Teaching Towards the Vocation of Life: Perspectives on Purpose in Undergraduate Engineering Education

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Education, Higher
Engineering--Study and teaching (Higher)

description: This study examines ideas of purpose in undergraduate engineering education by drawing on John Dewey’s conception of “Vocation of Life” and the more recent conception of “Twenty-First Century Skills.” Through a single-site case study and utilizing the constant comparative method, this study produced a set of student learning outcomes the faculty at “Oxbow College” describe for their disciplinary teaching that includes technical, professional, and personal skills. The faculty also described a set of department, school, and national level (i.e. ABET accreditation) contexts that impacted their conceptions. This study is set within a broader landscape of attainment issues in STEM education, and engineering specifically, including: 1) student interest in an engineering education; 2) persistence in engineering education for all students; 3) attainment of engineering degrees by a diverse set of students representing the broader national population. Addressing these challenges is imperative because engineering remains of great importance to the United States’ position of technical authority in the world though the United States confers a significantly lower proportion of bachelors degrees in science and engineering compared with other industrialized nations. Compounding this challenge is the need to broaden engineering education to include non-technical skills without sacrificing technical rigor. Most noteworthy in the findings of this study, these faculty speak directly to a set of student learning outcomes including technical and non-technical (professional and personal) skills in their disciplinary engineering courses. In doing so, they are expanding the idea of what an engineering education does and what it intends to do. The purpose of an undergraduate engineering education at Oxbow College, as described by faculty, is to prepare students for all aspects of their lives after graduation. This study provides insight into what these engineering faculty perceive as important in their courses, demonstrating a shift away from the historical divide between professional and liberal education as well as providing an example of the broadening of student learning outcomes – which has implications for calculating the return on investment of a college education. By emphasizing more than just their disciplinary content, these faculty are reflecting a larger societal change regarding the purpose of higher education.

description: Minirhizotron technology is widely used for studying the development of roots. Such systems collect visible-wavelength color imagery of plant roots in-situ by scanning an imaging system within a clear tube driven into the soil. Automated analysis of root systems could facilitate new scientific discoveries that would be critical to address the world's pressing food, resource, and climate issues. A key component of automated analysis of plant roots from imagery is the automated pixel-level segmentation of roots from their surrounding soil. Supervised learning techniques appear to be an appropriate tool for the challenge due to varying local soil and root conditions, however, lack of enough annotated training data is a major limitation due to the error-prone and time-consuming manually labeling process. In this paper, we investigate the use of deep neural networks based on the U-net architecture for automated, precise pixel-wise root segmentation in minirhizotron imagery. We compiled two minirhizotron image datasets to accomplish this study: one with 17,550 peanut root images and another with 28 switchgrass root images. Both datasets were paired with manually labeled ground truth masks. We trained three neural networks with different architectures on the larger peanut root dataset to explore the effect of the neural network depth on segmentation performance. To tackle the more limited switchgrass root dataset, we showed that models initialized with features pre-trained on the peanut dataset and then fine-tuned on the switchgrass dataset can improve segmentation performance significantly. We obtained 99\% segmentation accuracy in switchgrass imagery using only 21 training images. We also observed that features pre-trained on a closely related but relatively moderate size dataset like our peanut dataset are more effective than features pre-trained on the large but unrelated ImageNet dataset.

description: The mining industry is increasingly recognizing the importance of responsible tailings management. While the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) provides a valuable framework for mining companies seeking to develop tailings governance and management practices, it should be viewed as a minimum requirement rather than a comprehensive solution. To this end, establishing a robust and effective Tailings Governance and Tailings Management System is essential. Tailings governance and tailings management are related but distinct concepts in the context of an organization’s operations. Tailings governance refers to the framework of policies, standards, and procedures that guide technical aspects. It involves establishing the rules and guidelines for making decisions, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards, and setting expectations for performance. On the other hand, tailings management involves the day-to-day management and oversight of activities within an organization. This includes tasks such as planning and scheduling work, allocating resources, managing teams, and ensuring that tasks are carried out effectively and efficiently. Within the scope of this paper, it is crucial to recognize and differentiate between tailings governance and tailings management, as they are two distinct but interconnected concepts that together form the foundation of a robust Tailings Management System. This paper outlines the key components required for developing such a system, including creating a Tailings Management Policy and establishing a Tailings Governance Framework and Tailings Management Standards, Procedures, and Guidance Notes. It also discusses case studies from Australia, Ghana, Peru, and South Africa, focusing on site-specific plans, systems, and processes. The paper also highlights the importance of site-specific management structures and the incorporation of stakeholder engagement and reporting mechanisms to ensure effective implementation and monitoring. By adopting a comprehensive approach to tailings management, Gold Fields and other mining organizations can demonstrate their commitment to responsible environmental stewardship and promote stakeholder confidence in their operations.

description: The primary purpose of this thesis is to determine the impact the present history curriculum, taught in secondary schools in Rwanda, has on a child’s right to education. The thesis analyzes the teaching of history before the genocide, and the manner in which it contributed to the 1994 genocide. Thereafter, the national government placed a moratorium on the teaching of history, until 2006. Put under pressure by national and international non-governmental organizations, as well as by civil society organizations, President Paul Kagame’s government created a new history curriculum for secondary schools. This syllabus portrays pre-colonial Rwanda, post-independence Rwanda and the narrative of the 1994 genocide in a biased and one-sided manner. Consequently, this thesis determines that the curriculum violates a number of articles included within both the Convention of the Rights of the Child, and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. These are related to the freedom of expression, the best interests of the child, the right to education and the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. However, the Rwandan Constitution, adopted in 2003, ascertains that the respect of these different rights is determined by Rwandan national law.

description: We consider a multi-agent noncooperative game with agents' objective functions being affected by uncertainty. Following a data driven paradigm, we represent uncertainty by means of scenarios and seek a robust Nash equilibrium solution. We treat the Nash equilibrium computation problem within the realm of probably approximately correct (PAC) learning. Building upon recent developments in scenario-based optimization, we accompany the computed Nash equilibrium with a priori and a posteriori probabilistic robustness certificates, providing confidence that the computed equilibrium remains unaffected (in probabilistic terms) when a new uncertainty realization is encountered. For a wide class of games, we also show that the computation of the so called compression set - a key concept in scenario-based optimization - can be directly obtained as a byproduct of the proposed solution methodology. Finally, we illustrate how to overcome differentiability issues, arising due to the introduction of scenarios, and compute a Nash equilibrium solution in a decentralized manner. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach on an electric vehicle charging control problem.

description: Poröse Feststoffe, wie Silikagel, Aktivkohle, Zeolithe, Pellets aus feinteiligen Oxiden oder keramische Materialien, spielen in der Technik eine große Rolle. Insbesondere handelt es sich dabei um Prozesse der Stofftrennung und der Heterogenen Katalyse. Beispiele sind die Trennung von Kohlenwasserstoffen in der Petrolchemie oder die Luftzerlegung durch Adsorptionsverfahren. Ferner katalytische Reaktionen, wobei poröse Feststoffe als Katalysator oder Träger für Katalysatoren dienen.
Entscheidend ist in allen Fällen die Größe und Zugänglichkeit der inneren Oberfläche der porösen Festkörper. Hierfür ist maßgebend die Porosität, die Verteilung der Porenweiten dp, sowie die Porentextur und Vernetzung. Man unterscheidet Makroporen dp > 50 nm, Mesoporen 2 < dp < 50 nm und Mikroporen dp < 2 nm. Typischerweise beträgt für mesoporöse Adsorbentien und Katalysatoren die spezifische Oberfläche lO bis 200 m2/g. Poröse Feststoffe, wie Silikagel, können aus unregelmäßig verzweigten Netzwerken von Makro-, Meso- und Mikroporen bestehen. Andererseits können in kompaktierten Pellets mesoporöse Haufwerke von massiven Teilchen unterschiedlicher Größe und Gestalt vorliegen. Bei Pellets aus Zeolithen handelt es sich um Aggregate aus mikroporösen Kristalliten, die durch Bindemittel miteinander verbunden sind.

We also propose a new search that uses the muon chambers to detect muons from heavy neutrino decays outside the tracker. The sensitivity estimates are based on benchmark models in which the heavy neutrinos mix exclusively with one of the three Standard Model generations. In the most sensitive mass regime the displaced vertex searches can improve existing constraints on the mixing with the first two Standard Model generations by more than four orders of magnitude and by three orders of magnitude for the mixing with the third generation.

description: The complex of "stable forms" on supermanifolds is studied. Stable forms on $M$ are represented by certain Lagrangians of "copaths" (formal systems of equations, which may or may not specify actual surfaces) on $M\times\mathbb R^D$. Changes of $D$ give rise to stability isomorphisms. The Cartan--de Rham complex made of stable forms extends both in positive and negative degree and its positive half is isomorphic to the complex of forms defined as Lagrangians of paths. Considering the negative half is necessary, in particular, for homotopy invariance. We introduce analogs of exterior multiplication by covectors and of contraction with vectors. We find (anti)commutation relations for them. An analog of Cartan's homotopy identity is proved. Before stabilization it contains some "stability operator" $σ$.

description: This qualitative case study explored four early childhood preservice teachers’ experiences and reflections pertaining to a required critical multicultural teacher education course and sought to understand how they navigated student teaching the following academic year. Inquiring into teaching and learning in a critical multicultural education course and seeking to examine possible connections between the course and subsequent enactments of pedagogical practices in student teaching, this study was guided by the questions: How did preservice teachers construct their experiences in a multicultural education course? How did preservice teachers who had previously taken a multicultural education course make sense of and navigate their student teaching experiences? The dataset was comprised of three in-depth individual interviews with four early childhood preservice teachers—two White preservice teachers and two preservice teachers of color; field notes from observations of each preservice teacher’s student teaching placement; three individual assignments written in the multicultural education course; and reflective journals and lesson plans submitted during student teaching. These data were analyzed through a critical pedagogy lens via axial coding. Findings demonstrated that the required multicultural education course influenced preservice teachers in different ways, conveying the complexity of learning to teach and the intertwined nature of personal and professional identities. Preservice teachers’ experiences in the multicultural education course were deeply informed by their identities, dis/privileges, and representation in the course (in readings, videos of teaching practices, and the identity of the teacher educator). Preservice teachers’ navigations of student teaching in the following academic year were complex, being informed by a variety of factors, including their racial identity development, their life experiences and prior knowledge about race and difference, the racial identity of their mentor teacher in relation to theirs, and the demographics of their placements. Findings complicate simplistic notions of teaching and learning within the context of initial teacher education, pointing toward the need to recognize and account for the deeply entwined nature of racial identity development and the development of teachers committed to fostering equity and justice. Implications point toward needed transformations in early childhood teacher education.

description: Recently, string theory on some specific curved backgroud spacetime geometries has been conjectured to be equivalent to certain gauge theories (AdS/CFT correspondence). This correspondence may be used to investigate the non-perturbative regime of gauge theories. I describe its application to the study of soft scattering amplitudes in a confining gauge theory. I describe two qualitatively different applications: amplitudes with vacuum quantum number exchange (Pomeron-like), amplitudes with Reggeon exchange. The last case requires going beyond eikonal approximation on the gauge theory side.

description: The purpose of this was study was to explore the use of two teaching practices (cognitively responsive subject matter and culturally responsive teaching) at Hispanic-Serving Institutions in the United States. The conceptual frameworks for this study were the Multi-Contextual Model of Diverse Learning Environments (MMDLE) (Hurtado et al., 2015), Blackwell and Lawrence’s (1995) framework on faculty work, and Neumann’s (2014) framework on cognitively responsive teaching practices and culturally responsive teaching (Ladson-Billings, 1994). Data for this study were culled from responses of full-time faculty to the University of California-Los Angeles Higher Education Research Institute’s 2013 faculty survey, a national, multi-institutional survey of faculty. Using ANOVAs and hierarchical linear models (HLM), the study estimated the effect of individual- and organizational-level variables on subject matter and culturally responsive teaching. The results of HLM models showed that women faculty, faculty who have won an award for their teaching, and those who believe all students can excel have higher culturally responsive teaching scores. In contrast, faculty who believe it is up to individual students to succeed, and those who teach a hard discipline as characterized by Biglan’s (1973) typology of disciplines, have lower culturally responsive teaching scores. Of the organizational-level predictors used in HLM models, the selectivity of an institution was negatively associated with culturally responsive teaching, as was the percentage of Latinx students enrolled. For subject matter teaching, women faculty, tenure-track faculty, faculty who believe all students can excel, and those who spend additional time weekly preparing to teach have higher subject matter teaching scores. Faculty who teach a hard discipline, as characterized by Biglan’s (1973) typology of disciplines, and those who believe it is up to individual students to succeed have lower subject matter teaching scores. Of the organizational-level predictors, the percent of Latinx students enrolled in an institution had a negative association with subject matter teaching practices.

description: Our existence in the Universe resulted from a rare combination of circumstances. The same must hold for any highly developed extraterrestrial civilisation, and if they have ever existed in the Milky Way, they would likely be scattered over large distances in space and time. However, all technologically advanced species must be aware of the unique property of the galactic centre: it hosts Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the closest supermassive black hole to anyone in the Galaxy. A civilisation with sufficient technical know-how may have placed material in orbit around Sgr A* for research, energy extraction, and communication purposes. In either case, its orbital motion will necessarily be a source of gravitational waves. We show that a Jupiter-mass probe on the retrograde innermost stable circular orbit around Sgr A* emits, depending on the black hole spin, at a frequency of $f_{GW} = 0.63 - 1.07$ mHz and with a power of $P_{GW}=2.7 \times\, 10^{36} - 2.0 \times\, 10^{37}$ erg/s. We discuss that the energy output of a single star is sufficient to stabilise the location of an orbiting probe for a billion years against gravitational wave induced orbital decay. Placing and sustaining a device near Sgr A* is therefore astrophysically possible. Such a probe will emit an unambiguously artificial continuous gravitational wave signal that is observable with LISA-type detectors.

description: With its rapid economic growth, China’s primary energy consumption has exceeded domestic energy production since 1994, leading to a substantial expansion in energy imports, particularly of oil. China’s energy demand has an increasingly significant impact on global energy markets. In this paper Allen partial elasticities of factor and energy substitution, and price elasticities of energy demand, are calculated for China using a twostage translog cost function approach. The results suggest that energy is substitutable with both capital and labour. Coal is significantly substitutable with electricity and complementary with diesel while gasoline and electricity are substitutable with diesel. China’s energy intensity is increasing during the study period (1995-2004) and the major driver appears to be due to the increased use of energy intensive technology.

Teaching sustainability as a social issue: Learning from three teachers
Creators: Shuttleworth, Jay Matthew
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Social sciences--Study and teaching

description: Many researchers cite living more sustainably as humans' most pressing long- term challenge. Living sustainably can be defined as meeting one's needs without interfering with future generations ability to meet their needs. Engaging students with the social causes and effects of sustainability issues may help to address and create dialogue about our own needs and those of future generations. Unfortunately, no studies examine how teachers deliver this topic as a social issue in their classrooms. Through the research question, "What are the curricular, pedagogical, and assessment strategies of three teachers when they teach the social issues of sustainability education?" this qualitative case study seeks findings useful to the education field. For example, teachers might learn how peers plan, implement, and assess this sort of instruction. Teacher educators could create or update pre- service education sustainability frameworks. Or, researchers might study the findings' impact on existing educational paradigms. Thus, this study advances understanding within education on ways to sustain humanity's prosperity.
Teaching to Transfer in the Social Emotional Learning Context:  The Case for an Instructional Model of the Human Emotion System

description: Social emotional learning (SEL) is an increasingly important area of study, which aims to help students develop skills critical for healthy social functioning as well as academic and professional success. There is general agreement that SEL, like other subjects, should result in knowledge transfer. However, there has been little research aimed at identifying instruction methodologies that might enable such transfer. In my dissertation, I propose that SEL knowledge transfer may be facilitated by way of direct teaching of a model of the human emotion system (HES). I provide a functional definition of the emotion system, demonstrate how the principles of the HES represent the deep structures that underlie key SEL skills, discuss why the direct teaching of the HES is necessary despite the spontaneous formation of implicit models of emotion, and propose a set of components that may comprise an instructional HES model. I then describe a pilot study demonstrating that HES model learning can transfer to new problems and produce improvements in aspects of social emotional competence (SEC), specifically other awareness and empathy. Compared to the control group, the pilot’s model learning group rated “socially inappropriate” emotional responses as significantly less blameworthy, indicating greater cognitive empathy and the transfer of emotion model knowledge to a novel set of problems. A larger, follow-up study sought to replicate the results of the pilot while conducting the intervention online and exploring several additional hypotheses. The study successfully replicated the pilot’s results with respect to other-awareness, while also demonstrating that HES model learning had a positive effect on self-awareness: participants in the Model Learning condition rated their own hypothetical undesirable emotional reactions as significantly less blameworthy than those in the control condition, demonstrating increased acceptance of emotions in the self. The results also suggest HES model learning produces a stronger short-term effect on other-awareness than self-awareness, and shed new light on the design considerations for preparation for future learning (PFL) activities in the SEL context, namely, the need for precise targeting of relevant deep structures and the potential for learning interference caused by the activation of existing emotion theories. Exploratory post-hoc analyses further point to the possibility of gender playing a role in the success of HES model learning, with males potentially being more resistant to such learning than females. I discuss the study results as well as the broader significance of the HES model learning approach to SEL.
Efficient Computation of H2 Performance on Series-Parallel Networks

description: Series-parallel networks are a class of graphs on which many NP-hard problems have tractable solutions. In this paper, we examine performance measures on leader-follower consensus on series-parallel networks. We show that a distributed computation of the $\mathcal{H}_2$ norm can be done efficiently on this system by exploiting a decomposition of the network into atomic elements and composition rules. Lastly, we examine the problem of adaptively re-weighting the network to optimize the $\mathcal{H}_2$ norm, and show that it can be done with similar complexity.

Approximation of the Mumford-Shah Functional by Phase Fields of Bounded Variation

description: In this paper we introduce a new phase field approximation of the Mumford-Shah functional similar to the well-known one from Ambrosio and Tortorelli. However, in our setting the phase field is allowed to be a function of bounded variation, instead of an $H^1$-function. In the context of image segmentation, we also show how this new approximation can be used for numerical computations, which contains a total variation minimization of the phase field variable, as it appears in many problems of image processing. A comparison to the classical Ambrosio-Tortorelli approximation, where the phase field is an $H^1$-function, shows that the new model leads to sharper phase fields.
