description: School finance reform was a widely debated issue in Texas in spring 2004. It appeared in the newspaper headlines and topped the policy agendas of the governor and other state leaders. In April, the governor called a special session and legislators assembled in Austin to begin formal debates of school finance. The media was talking too. This study documents the interaction of the media and politicians during the school finance policymaking process in Texas. By analyzing newspaper coverage of education in Texas before, during, and after the Special Session, this study strives to answer two questions: How did the media shape the policymaking process, and conversely, How did policymakers shape the coverage of education in the media.
Vacant Space + Temporary Use: Understanding Development Cycles in Berlin’s Neighborhoods of Friedrichshain + Kreuzberg

description: Due to its complex history, Berlin is prone to a large amount of vacant space particularly in comparison to other European cities. This thesis sought to understand the nature, promotion, support, and shedding of vacant and temporary use in cities as part of a larger development cycle through the case study of Berlin’s neighborhoods of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. A review of plans, interviews, site visits, and the updating of the city’s database on vacant space contributed to a better understanding of the process at play. These sites were then analyzed through the development cycles of J.R. Whitehand and Ernest Burgess to see if the process of construction and change in the city of Berlin could be explained by these models.

description: The public health problem of ensuring that teens and preteens receive the HPV vaccination series justified this study, using a convenience sample (N=122) of parents, 68 of whom were English-speaking parents (ESP) and 54 were Spanish-speaking parents (SSP). Among ESP, 94.1% (n=64) were females and 5.9% (n=4) were males. Among SSP, 98.1% (n=53) were females and 1.9% (n=1) was male. The mean age for ESP (n=68) was 41.16 years (min=27, max=72, SD=6.72). The mean age for SSP (n=54) was 38.72 years (min=26, max=55, SD =7.31). About 44.1% (n=30) of ESP were Hispanic/ Latino, and 98.1% (n=53) of SSP were Hispanic/Latino. Using backward stepwise regression analysis, in the whole sample (N=122), significant predictors of parents being in an action or maintenance stage for making sure their children received the HPV vaccination was predicted by: if child had received HPV vaccination (β=1.714, SEB=.599, p=.000) and yearly household income (β=.142, SEB=.200, p=.007) in a model accounting for 40.5% of the variance (R2=.420, AdjR2=.405). This study determined that a linguistically and culturally tailored (i.e., in English or Spanish) video on HPV and HPV vaccination of preteens and teens served as a brief online e-health intervention that was associated with significant parental movement across the stages of change (i.e., from precontemplation or contemplation stage, to preparation stage) and increased self-efficacy for three key behaviors: (1) talking to a pediatrician or family practice medical provider about the Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the HPV vaccination for children; (2) making sure their preteen and teen children receive the HPV vaccination; and (3) making sure their preteen and teen children receive all required doses (e.g., at least two or three doses) of the HPV vaccination. Also, 89.5% (n=17) of healthcare providers recommended the video. Qualitative data produced themes for recommending the video and improving it. Recommendations for an evaluation of the video intervention using a nationally representative sample are advanced, along with implications for widely disseminating and evaluating a new evidence-based approach codified in the video.

description: Feature selection (FS) is a key research area in the machine learning and data mining fields, removing irrelevant and redundant features usually helps to reduce the effort required to process a dataset while maintaining or even improving the processing algorithm's accuracy. However, traditional algorithms designed for executing on a single machine lack scalability to deal with the increasing amount of data that has become available in the current Big Data era. ReliefF is one of the most important algorithms successfully implemented in many FS applications. In this paper, we present a completely redesigned distributed version of the popular ReliefF algorithm based on the novel Spark cluster computing model that we have called DiReliefF. Spark is increasing its popularity due to its much faster processing times compared with Hadoop's MapReduce model implementation. The effectiveness of our proposal is tested on four publicly available datasets, all of them with a large number of instances and two of them with also a large number of features. Subsets of these datasets were also used to compare the results to a non-distributed implementation of the algorithm. The results show that the non-distributed implementation is unable to handle such large volumes of data without specialized hardware, while our design can process them in a scalable way with much better processing times and memory usage.
Validation of a Theoretical Model of Diagnostic Classroom Assessment: A Mixed Methods Study
Creators: Koh, Nancy J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Education

description: The purpose of the study was to validate a theoretical model of diagnostic, formative classroom assessment called, Proximal Assessment for Learner Diagnosis (PALD). To achieve its purpose, the study employed a two-stage, mixed-methods design. The study utilized multiple data sources from 11 elementary level mathematics teachers who received training in the theoretical underlying the model. The PALD model was derived based on the cognitive and assessment sciences literature. In the first stage of the study, a grounded theory analysis of the data yielded themes and sub-themes that were connected to reveal how diagnostic assessment practices were embedded by teachers during instruction. In the second stage, a quantitative cluster analysis was employed to validate groupings of themes that emerged from the qualitative analysis. A revised model of diagnostic classroom assessment is presented from the cross-validated findings. The findings suggested a new "theory of PALD practice" that occurs in unison with the theoretically expected practices of teachers in the originally proposed model.

Saa model of gravity with covariantly constant volume with respect to the transposed connection in Einstein-Cartan spaces. A new interpretation of this theory as a theory with variable Plank "constant" is suggested. We show that the consistency of the semiclassical limit of the wave equation and classical motion dictates a new definite universal interaction of torsion with massive fields.

description: † Badjcinus
 SPECIES SCORED: † Badjcinus turnbulli (type and only described species).
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: White Hunter Site (Riversleigh Faunal Zone A), Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia.
 AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Riversleigh Faunal Zone A is currently interpreted to be late Oligocene based on biostratigraphy (Archer et al., 1989, 1994, 1995, 1997, 2006; Creaser, 1997; Myers and Archer, 1997; Travouillon et al., 2006; Black, 2010; Black et al., 2012b, 2013; Woodhead et al., 2014; Arena et al., 2015). Specifically, Myers and Archer (1997) correlated it with the Ngama Local Fauna, which occurs in Zone D of the Etadunna Formation at Mammalon Hill, South Australia, based on the shared presence of the ilariid † Kuterintja ngama. Based on palaeomagnetic data presented by Woodburne et al. (1994), Metzger and Retallack (2010) estimated the Etadunna Formation to span 26.1–23.6 Mya, so a similar age range for Riversleigh Faunal Zone A seems plausible. However, pending the publication of absolute dates, a more conservative approach is to use the entire range of the late Oligocene (Chattian; Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]) for this taxon.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 27.820 –23.030 Mya.
 REMARKS: † Badjcinus turnbulli is the oldest fossil dasyuromorphian represented by relatively wellpreserved craniodental material. It is currently known from a single partial cranium that includes a well-preserved auditory region (QM F30408) and additional dental specimens (Muirhead and Wroe, 1998). † Badjcinus turnbulli differs from all other known dasyuromorphians in lacking both a squamosal epitympanic sinus and a distinct rostral tympanic process of the petrosal, although there is some debate as to whether these features are plesiomorphic or apomorphic (Muirhead and Wroe, 1998; Murray and Megirian, 2006a).
 Muirhead and Wroe (1998) identified † Badjcinus as a thylacinid, and thylacinid affinities for this taxon have been supported in most phylogenetic analyses (Wroe and Musser, 2001; Murray and Megirian, 2006a; Yates, 2014, 2015b; Archer et al., 2016; Kealy and Beck, 2017; Rovinsky et al., 2019). However, the craniodental analysis of Wroe et al. (2000) placed † Badjcinus closer to Dasyuridae than to Thylacinus, and the dated total evidence analyses of Kealy and Beck (2017) recovered † Badjcinus as sister to all other dasyuromorphians, and hence outside the crown clade (Dasyuroidea sensu Kealy and Beck, 2017: table 1). We therefore follow Kealy and Beck (2017) as classifying † Badjcinus as? Thylacinidae.

We calculate the state of the micromaser cavity field prior to detection of sequences of atoms in either the excited or ground state, for atoms that are initially prepared in the excited state. This provides the POM elements, which describe such sequences of measurements.

description: This dissertation is an archaeological investigation of a late 20th century homeless encampment in Pelham Bay Park, New York City. This project examines the relationship between aspects of dwelling and the social status of homelessness within an iconic urban setting in the United States. In contemporary public discourse, the meaning of "homelessness" seems self-evident to most people as a condition defined by lack: a lack of permanence in general and of a permanent dwelling place in particular, a lack of personal possessions and personal relations, and most consequentially, a lack of political status. This research interrogates these assumptions by reading homelessness through the material record that people left behind, of what they did have when they inhabited spaces outside the sanctioned institutions for the "homeless," spaces where people intentionally dwelled and created their own structures of home. This project returns us to the most basic questions in the study of homelessness in the United States: what exactly is homelessness, what does it mean to be homeless, and how are people marked or recognized as homeless within our society? In order to answer these questions, this research explores how boundaries defining homelessness manifest and are articulated within our society.

description: The current pandemic of a sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity is closely related to the global increase in obesity and other chronic diseases. More than five million deaths per year have been estimated to be due to inactive lifestyles. Tackling the threat of the physical inactivity pandemic is fundamental for the future of effective, affordable and sustainable health systems. Global public health action is therefore urgently needed. The staging of Olympic Games has often been justified by the promise of a physical activity and health legacy. However, the claim that the Olympics result in beneficial lifestyle changes is not supportedby studies conducted following major multi-sport events. Nevertheless, the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 may become an exception to the rule of a failed Olympic health legacy. A policy of the Chinese government has set the target of attracting more than 300 million people to winter sport activities. The policy entails the construction of a new winter sport infrastructure as well as attempts to support theexisting national fitness programme and to bring healthier lifestyles to the general population. In consequence, China has seen a substantial growth in participation in ice and snowactivities. However, this promising development will not be self-propelling, and the government-led top-down implementation of winter sport needs to be supplementedby long-term policy interventions. Changing the complex behaviour of physical activity requires an effective population strategy as well long-term commitment, coordinated policy and integrated investment. Chinese sports experts have called for a greater emphasis on promoting sports participation to boost national health initiatives. Thus, China has shiftedits sports focus from winning medals to improving mass fitness. The current Chinese health agenda, emphasising the prevention of chronic disease, may generate innovative solutions, including harnessing Olympic effects, and may set an example for public health systems worldwide.

GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Bullock Creek Local Fauna, Camfield Beds, Northern Territory, Australia; Jaw Junction Site (Riversleigh Faunal Zone D), Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia.
AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: based on biostratigraphy, the Bullock Creek Local Fauna is interpreted to be middle Miocene (Murray and Megirian, 1992; Megirian et al., 2010; Black et al., 2013; Schwartz, 2016; Trusler and Sharp, 2016), whereas Riversleigh Faunal Zone D is considered to be somewhat younger, namely early late Miocene, perhaps 10–12 Mya (Archer et al., 1989, 1994, 1995; Myers et al., 2001; Black et al., 2012b, 2013; Woodhead et al., 2014; Arena et al., 2015). In the absence of direct dates, we have conservatively assumed the entire span of the middle to late Miocene (Langhian to Messinian; Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]) for this taxon.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 15.970 –5.333 Mya.
 REMARKS: † Mutpuracinus archibaldi was originally described by Murray and Megirian (2000) based on fragmentary craniodental material from the Bullock Creek Local Fauna. Subsequently, a relatively complete, albeit somewhat disarticulated, skull (NTM P91168-5) was recovered from the Jaw Junction Site at Riversleigh (Murray and Megirian, 2006a). Murray and Megirian (2000, 2006a) identified † Mutpuracinus as a thylacinid, but its position was unstable in their phylogenetic analyses (Murray and Megirian, 2006a: appendix 2, figs. 2–4); notably, it was recovered as closer to Recent dasyurids than to thylacinids when added to the craniodental character matrix of Wroe and Musser (2001; see Murray and Megirian, 2006a: appendix 2 fig. 2B). The phylogenetic analyses of Archer et al. (2016), Kealy and Beck (2017), and Rovinsky et al. (2019) also did not support thylacinid affinities for † Mutpuracinus, and we follow the last two studies in considering this taxon to be Dasyuromorphia incertae sedis. Regardless of its true phylogenetic relationships, the craniodental morphology of † Mutpuracinus implies previously unsuspected dasyuromorphian homoplasy in either the dentition or auditory region, or both (Murray and Megirian, 2006a).

description: Enhanced magnetic moment and coercivity in SrRuO3 thin films are significant issues for advanced technological usages and hence are researched extensively in recent times. Most of the previous reports on thin films with enhanced magnetic moment attributed the high spin state for the enhancement. Our magnetization results show high magnetic moment of 3.3 Bohr-magnetron/Ru ion in the epitaxial thin films grown on LSAT substrate against 1.2 Bohr-magnetron/Ru ion observed in bulk compound. Contrary to the expectation the Ru ions are found to be in low spin state and the orbital moment is shown to be contributing significantly in the enhancement of magnetic moment. We employed x-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant valance band spectroscopy to probe the spin state and orbital contributions in these films. The existence of strong spin-orbit coupling responsible for the de-quenching of the 4d orbitals is confirmed by the observation of the non-statistical large branching ratio at the Ru M2,3 absorption edges. The relaxation of orbital quenching by strain engineering provides a new tool for enhancing magnetic moment. Strain disorder is shown to be an efficient mean to control the spin-orbit coupling.

description: This study examines how mathematical modeling activities within a collaborative group impact students' `value creation' through mathematics. Creating `value' in this study means to apply one's knowledge in a way that benefits the individual and society, and the notion of `value' was adopted from Makiguchi's theory of `value creation' (1930/1989). With a unified framework of Makiguchi's theory of `value', mathematical disposition, and identity, the study identified three aspects of value-beauty, gains, and social good-using observable evidence of mathematical disposition, identity, and sense of community. Sixty students who enrolled in a college algebra course participated in the study. The results showed significant changes in students' mathematics dispositions after engaging in the modeling activities. Analyses of students' written responses and interview data demonstrated that the modeling tasks associated with students' personal data and social interactions within a group contributed to students' developing their identity as doers of mathematics and creating social value. The instructional model aimed to balance the cognitive aspect and the affective skills of learning mathematics in a way that would allow students to connect mathematical concepts to their personal lives and social lives. As a result of the analysis of this study, there emerged a holistic view of the classroom as it reflects the Makiguchi's educational philosophy. Lastly, implications of this study for research and teaching are discussed.

description: The entropy of the four dimensional Schwarzschild black hole is derived by mapping it onto a configuration of intersecting branes with four charges. This configuration is obtained by performing several boosts and dualities on a neutral black brane of M-theory to which the Schwarzschild black hole is related by trivial compactification. The infinite boost limit is well-defined and corresponds to extremality where the intersecting brane configuration is a marginal one on which a standard microscopic counting of the entropy can be safely performed. The result reproduces exactly the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the four dimensional black hole.

Indians of North America

description: Native Americans have had a long and contentious history with the National Park Service (NPS). In recent years attempts have being made to restructure this relationship. Indigenous groups, once displaced not only from their land, but also simultaneously from access to their heritage and sacred spaces, are being involved in the management of NPS sites as 'stakeholders.' As stakeholders, the NPS has recognized that a tribe has a vested interest in the site, and has a claim to participate in the heritage process associated with that site. This process is mediated through a federally mandated consultation process, as well as unofficial, less formal, communications. By looking at this trend towards "value-based management," this thesis contributes to a growing awareness of a paradigm shift in historic preservation practice in the United States. By conducting onsite research and engaging in conversations with NPS staff at three case study sites—Bandelier National Monument, Aztec Ruins National Monument, and Canyon de Chelly National Monument—this thesis examines to what extent a value-based management approach is being utilized, and how recognition and elaboration of such a framework might improve management at each site. It is determined that while consultation occurs to some degree at each site, the extent to which indigenous stakeholder's values are prioritized in management decisions are limited. This is due to a variety of factors including, an imbalance of stakeholder authority, the 'institutional character' of the NPS, the absence of a strong Federal mandate for consultation, as well as, lacking indigenous access to the heritage management process itself. While the values of the NPS and indigenous populations of the southwest may at times seem irreconcilable, a true value-based management approach is encouraged for use by the NPS in order to better protect the values of all stakeholders at heritage sites.

GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Neville’s Garden, Bite’s Antennary and Upper sites (Riversleigh Faunal Zone B), and Henk’s Hollow and Jim’s Jaw sites (Riversleigh Faunal Zone C), Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia.
 AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Based on biostratigraphy, Riversleigh Faunal Zone B is interpreted to be early Miocene (Archer et al., 1989, 1994, 1995, 1997, 2006; Creaser, 1997; Travouillon et al., 2006; Black et al., 2012b, 2013; Woodhead et al., 2014; Arena et al., 2015), and Faunal Zone C is interpreted to be middle Miocene (see † Nimbacinus above). Radiometric dates from Woodhead et al. (2014) are 17.72–18.53 Mya for Neville’s Garden Site and 16.84–17.38 Mya for Bite’s Antennary Site, but the other sites lack dates, so we have conservatively assumed the entire span of the early to middle Miocene (Aquitanian to Serravallian; Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]) for this taxon.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 23.030 –11.630 Mya.
 REMARKS: Wroe (1999) described † Barinya wangala as the oldest known dasyurid based on two relatively complete skulls (QM F31408 and F314089) plus additional dental specimens. Wroe (1999) identified a number of putative dasyurid apomorphies in the auditory region, but Murray and Megirian (2006a) subsequently argued that at least some of these features may have been secondarily lost in thylacinids. Among dasyuromorphians, † B. wangala is dentally autapomorphic in exhibiting a very large bulbous P3, somewhat reminiscent of the enlarged P3 seen in males of some Recent peramelemorphians (see Aplin et al., 2010: 26–31). A second species, † B. kutjamarpensis, was described by Binfield et al. (2016), based on a single partial right dentary (SAM P53348) from the the?early-middle Miocene Leaf Locality of the Kutjamarpu Local Fauna in the Wipajiri Formation, Lake Ngapakaldi, Tirari Desert, Lake Eyre Basin, South Australia (Woodburne et al., 1994; Archer et al., 1997; Travouillon et al., 2006; Megirian et al., 2010; Black et al., 2012b, 2013, 2014a; Gurovich et al., 2014); however, † B. kutjamarpensis has not been used for scoring purposes here.
 † Barinya was recovered as a dasyurid in the phylogenetic analyses of Wroe et al. (2000), Wroe and Musser (2001), and Murray and Megirian (2006a), but not in those of Archer et al.

description: Karlin and Altschul in their statistical analysis for multiple high-scoring segments in molecular sequences introduced a distribution function which gives the probability there are at least r distinct and consistently ordered segment pairs all with score at least x. For long sequences this distribution can be expressed in terms of the distribution of the length of the longest increasing subsequence in a random permutation. Within the past few years, this last quantity has been extensively studied in the mathematics literature. The purpose of these notes is to summarize these new mathematical developments in a form suitable for use in computational biology.

description: Quantum teleportation allows to transfer unknown quantum states between distant parties. It is not only a primitive of quantum communications but also an essential task in realization of the quantum networks for promising applications such as quantum cryptography and distributed quantum computation. Despite recent substantial progresses in the realization of quantum communications, teleportation of shared quantum information between multiple senders and receivers is still missing. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate quantum teleportation among spatially separate parties in a quantum network. The protocol can be jointly performed by distributed participants, while none of them can fully access the transferred information. It can be generally extended to quantum communications incorporating an arbitrary number of parties without a trusted central node. Our work opens a route to the realization of distributed quantum communications and computations in quantum networks

Socio-technical Post-occupany Evaluation : Pilot Study at Robert H Lee Alumni Centre
Creators: name: Shaw, Kerry
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The University of British Columbia (UBC) is developing a Green Building Plan to manage future academic and residential building projects on campus. Numerous tasks are underway to support the Green Building Plan’s development and deliver improved building projects. Currently, campus building projects often have significant performance gaps between design and operation. UBC however, does not have a rigorous process to define these gaps and to disseminate lessons learned for future building projects. Post occupancy evaluation (POE) has been suggested as a potential tool that can provide a systematic and rigorous way to understand building performance and communicate project successes and failures. POE is a building performance assessment process completed after the building has been occupied for a period. It combines typical performance indices (ex. energy consumption) with occupant indoor environmental quality (IEQ) satisfaction levels to form a holistic building performance evaluation. POE results can help identify current problems and inform solutions within the building studied. POE can also provide valuable information to improve future design projects. This project examined if POE was a suitable tool for UBC to support the Green Building Plan’s objective to communicate lessons learned between building projects. A potential POE process for use in UBC Core buildings was created based on best practices. The POE process was then piloted in the Robert H Lee Alumni Centre (Alumni Centre). The pilot study indicated that the POE process is relatively simple to implement and requires minimal resources. The Occupant IEQ Survey was easy for respondents to use and required minimal effort, while still providing data on a diverse range of topics. Even with somewhat limited survey respondents (N=41), the POE summary report provided a comprehensive building performance summary. The pilot study results indicate that POE is a suitable tool for understanding actual building performance. Additionally, with widespread use POE will become a useful tool for capturing project lessons and informing future campus building projects. POE is recommended for implementation at UBC. Moving forward work should focus on adjusting and improving the POE template and execution process, as well as confirming program logistics and ownership.

description: Flow around two rotating side-by-side circular cylinders of equal diameter D is numerically studied at the Reynolds number Re=40-200 and various rotation rate theta_i. The incoming flow is assumed to be two-dimensional laminar flow. The governing equations are the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and solved by the finite volume method (FVM). The ratio of the center-to-center spacing to the cylinder diameter is T/D=2. The objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of rotational speed and Reynolds number on the stability of the flow. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data and a good agreement is achieved. The stability of the flow is analyzed by using the energy gradient theory, which produces the energy gradient function K to identify the region where the flow is the most prone to be destabilized and the degree of the destabilization. Numerical results reveal that K is the most significant at the separated shear layers of the cylinder pair. With Re increases, the length of the wake is shorter and the vortex shedding generally exhibits a symmetrical distribution for theta_i

description: We study a four-level atomic scheme interacting with four lasers in a closed-loop configuration with a $\diamondsuit$ (diamond) geometry. We investigate the influence of the laser phases on the steady state. We show that, depending on the phases and the decay characteristic, the system can exhibit a variety of behaviors, including population inversion and complete depletion of an atomic state. We explain the phenomena in terms of multi-photon interference. We compare our results with the phase-dependent phenomena in the double-$Λ$ scheme, as studied in [Korsunsky and Kosachiov, Phys. Rev A {\bf 60}, 4996 (1999)]. This investigation may be useful for developing non-linear optical devices, and for the spectroscopy and laser-cooling of alkali-earth atoms.

Yarala burchfieldi

description: † Yarala
 SPECIES SCORED: † Yarala burchfieldi (type species).
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Camel Sputum and Upper sites (Riversleigh Faunal Zone B), Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia.
AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Riversleigh Faunal Zone B is interpreted to be early Miocene based on biostratigraphy (see above). Camel Sputum Site has been radiometrically as 16.97– 18.53 Mya (Woodhead et al., 2014), but a radiometric date is unavailable for Upper Site, so we have used the entire range of the early Miocene (Aquitanian to Burdigalian; Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]) for this taxon.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 23.030 –15.970 Mya.
 REMARKS: † Yarala burchfieldi was the first fossil peramelemorphian to be known from relatively well-preserved cranial material (Muirhead, 2000). Like † Bulungu and † Galadi, it appears to be markedly more plesiomorphic than Recent peramelemorphians (Muirhead and Filan, 1995; Muirhead, 2000), and it consistently falls outside the peramelemorphian crown clade in published phylogenetic analyses (Travouillon et al., 2010, 2013a, 2013b, 2014a, 2017, 2019; Gurovich et al., 2014; Chamberlain et al., 2015; Kear et al., 2016; Travouillon and Phillips, 2018). † Yarala burchfieldi is also notable in that it is the smallest peramelemorphian known, either living or extinct, with an estimated body mass of about 65 g (Travouillon et al., 2009, 2010). Two further † Yarala species — † Y. kida and an as yet unnamed taxon—have been identified based on fragmentary dental material from the late Oligocene or early Miocene Kangaroo Well Local Fauna in the Northern Territory of Australia (Schwartz, 2006b; 2016), but we did not use it to score character data for this study.

Physical Samples

description: Poster presented at the 2021 EarthCube Annual Meeting Abstract: Research in many Earth Science domains depends on material samples collected in the field, generated in experiments, or retrieved from space. There are often great costs associated with the capture of samples, which might be rare, unique, or irreplaceable. In 2014, EarthCube funded iSAmplEs: The Internet of Samples in the Earth Sciences. This project “promoted best practices and standards for sample identification, documentation, citation, curation, and sharing ... as a foundation to building a shared cyber-infrastructure”. Based on the outcomes, a multidisciplinary research collaboration emerged to address these issues across the broader Natural Sciences including biology and anthropology. The resulting “Internet of Samples (iSamples)” is funded to develop a national cyberinfrastructure for samples. This cyberinfrastructure will provide services to uniquely, consistently, and conveniently identify material samples, record metadata, and link them to other samples, derived data, and research results published in the scientific literature. It aims to serve all research involving material samples from natural and built environments. iSamples has two components: iSamples-in-a-Box (iSB), a standalone system that enables creation of identifiers and their associated metadata, metadata management, sample identifier resolution, and discovery of samples; and iSamples Central (iSC), a permanent Internet service that preserves and indexes sample metadata to ensure reliable discovery and retrieval, and that provides a gateway between iSB instances and identifier authorities to ensure that remote iSB content is fully synchronized with the relevant authorities (e.g., IGSNs generated on iSB are synchronized with iSC and the IGSN central authority). By providing these services that augment existing identifier authority capabilities, iSC enables support of other identifier types beyond IGSN (e.g., ARKs, DOIs). iSamples will coordinate with the newly funded Sampling Nature RCN, which aims to build a community of collaborative researchers to exploit the potential of an accessible, integrated corpus of material sample data.

B404 (1997) 57-65, hep-th/9704084) to the case of open strings attached to Dp-branes, including the cases where the initial data has a knotlike topology. We use this extended solution to derive intrinsic dynamical properties of open and closed relativistic strings attached to Dp-branes. We also study the singularity structure and the oscillating periods of this extended solution.

description: A new class of Poisson algebras, the class of {\em generalized Weyl Poisson algebras}, is introduced. It can be seen as Poisson algebra analogue of generalized Weyl algebras or as giving a Poisson structure to (certain) generalized Weyl algebras. A Poisson simplicity criterion is given for generalized Weyl Poisson algebras and explicit descriptions of the Poisson centre and the absolute Poisson centre are obtained. Many examples are considered.
