description: We show that a continuous potential $q$ can be constructively determined from the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the Schrödinger operator $-Δ_g+q$ on a conformally transversally anisotropic manifold of dimension $\geq 3$, provided that the geodesic ray transform on the transversal manifold is constructively invertible. This is a constructive counterpart of the uniqueness result of Dos Santos Ferreira-Kurylev-Lassas-Salo. A crucial role in our reconstruction procedure is played by a constructive determination of the boundary traces of suitable complex geometric optics solutions based on Gaussian beams quasimodes concentrated along non-tangential geodesics on the transversal manifold, which enjoy uniqueness properties. This is achieved by applying the simplified version of the approach of Nachman-Street to our setting. We also identify the main space introduced by Nachman-Street with a standard Sobolev space on the boundary of the manifold. Another ingredient in the proof of our result is a reconstruction formula for the boundary trace of a continuous potential from the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map.

description: Higgs couplings can be affected by physics beyond the Standard Model. We study modifications through interactions with a hidden sector and in specific composite Higgs models accessible at the LHC. Both scenarios give rise to congruent patterns of universal, or partially universal, shifts. In addition, Higgs decays to the hidden sector may lead to invisible decay modes which we also exploit. Experimental bounds on such potential modifications will measure the concordance of an observed Higgs boson with the Standard Model.

A density property for tensor products of gradients of harmonic functions and applications

description: We show that tensor products of $k$ gradients of harmonic functions, with $k$ at least three, are dense in $C(\overlineΩ)$, for any bounded domain $Ω$ in dimension 3 or higher. The bulk of the argument consists in showing that any smooth compactly supported $k$-tensor that is $L^2$-orthogonal to all such products must be zero. This is done by using a Gaussian quasi-mode based construction of harmonic functions in the orthogonality relation. We then demonstrate the usefulness of this result by using it to prove uniqueness in the inverse boundary value problem for a coupled quasilinear elliptic system. The paper ends with a discussion of the corresponding property for products of two gradients of harmonic functions, and the connection of this property with the linearized anisotropic Calderón problem.
Surprises in Image Decomposition of Edge-on Galaxies: does Sombrero have a (classical) bulge?

description: The spheroid of the Sombrero galaxy, NGC 4594, is considered a prototype of classical, merger-built bulges. We use a Spitzer, IRAC 3.6 micron image to perform a detailed structural analysis of this galaxy. If one fits to this image only bulge and disc components, the bulge occupies a locus in the mass-size relation close to that of elliptical galaxies. When an outer stellar spheroid is added to improve the fit, the bulge Sersic index drops by a factor of ~ 2, and, if taken at face value, could mean that this bulge is actually a disc-like, pseudo-bulge, or a bar viewed end-on. The bulge effective radius and the bulge-to-total ratio also drop dramatically, putting the bulge in a position closer to that of bulges in the mass-size relation. We discuss implications from these findings, including the locus of the Sombrero bulge in the black hole mass vs. bulge mass relation. With this new bulge mass estimate, current dynamical estimates for the mass of the central black hole in Sombrero are more than 10 times larger than expected, if only the bulge mass is considered. A better agreement is found if the sum of bulge and outer spheroid masses is considered. Furthermore, residual images show the presence of a stellar ring and a stellar, inner ring or disc, with unprecedented clarity. We also show that Sombrero is an outlier in scaling relations of disc galaxies involving the disc, the spheroid and the globular cluster system, but not so when its structural components are considered independently. In this context, the globular cluster system of Sombrero might not be representative of disc galaxies. Finally, we discuss the possibility that Sombrero formed as an elliptical galaxy but accreted a massive disc, which itself has secularly evolved, resulting in a complex and peculiar system.

description: We propose a generalization of separability in the context of global optimization. Our results apply to objective functions implemented as differentiable computer programs. They are presented in the context of a simple branch and bound method. The often significant search space reduction can be expected to yield an acceleration of any global optimization method. We show how to utilize interval derivatives calculated by adjoint algorithmic differentiation to examine the monotonicity of the objective with respect to so called structural separators and how to verify the latter automatically.

description: Blockchain has made an impact on today's technology by revolutionizing the financial industry in its utilization on cryptocurrency and the features it provided on decentralization. With the current trend of pursuing the decentralized Internet, many methods have been proposed to achieve decentralization considering different aspects of the current Internet model ranging from infrastructure and protocols to services and applications. This paper focuses on using Blockchain to provide a robust and secure decentralized computing system. The paper conducts a literature review on Blockchain-based methods capable for the decentralization of the future Internet. To achieve that decentralization, two research aspects of Blockchain have been investigated that are highly relevant in realizing the decentralized Internet. The first aspect is the consensus algorithms, which are vital components for decentralization of Blockchain. We have identified three consensus algorithms being PoP, Paxos, and PoAH to be more adequate for reaching consensus in Blockchain-enabled Internet architecture. The second aspect that we investigated is the impact of future Internet technologies on Blockchain, where their combinations with Blockchain would help to make it overcome its established flaws and be more optimized and applicable for Internet decentralization.

These trends are consistent with a picture in which more massive spheroidals formed at higher redshift via "wetter" mergers involving greater dissipation. To examine growth under the favored "dry" merger hypothesis, we also examine size growth at a fixed velocity dispersion. This test, uniquely possible with our dynamical data, allows us to consider the effects of "progenitor bias." Above our completeness limit (sigma > 200 km/s), we find size growth consistent with that inferred for the mass-selected sample, thus ruling out strong progenitor bias. To maintain continuity in the growth of massive galaxies over the past 10 Gyr, our new results imply that size evolution over 1.32 are truly massive and compact.

description: We employ a set of Magneticum cosmological hydrodynamic simulations that span over $15$ different cosmologies, and extract masses and concentrations of all well-resolved haloes between $z=0-1$ for critical over-densities $Δ_\texttt{vir}, Δ_{200c}, Δ_{500c}, Δ_{2500c}$ and mean overdensity $Δ_{200m}.$ We provide the first mass-concentration (Mc) relation and sparsity relation (i.e. $M_{\Delta1} - M_{\Delta2}$ mass conversion) of hydrodynamic simulations that is modelled by mass, redshift and cosmological parameters $Ω_m, Ω_b, σ_8, h_0$ as a tool for observational studies. We also quantify the impact that the Mc relation scatter and the assumption of NFW density profiles have on the uncertainty of the sparsity relation. We find that converting masses with the aid of a Mc relation carries an additional fractional scatter ($\approx 4\%$) originated from deviations from the assumed NFW density profile. For this reason we provide a direct mass-mass conversion relation fit that depends on redshift and cosmological parameters. We release the package hydro\_mc, a python tool that perform all kind of conversions presented in this paper.

description: Microstructural responses to the mechanical load of polymers used in tissue engineering is notably important for qualification at in vivo testing, although insufficiently studied, especially regarding promising polycaprolactone (PCL). For further investigations, electrospun PCL scaffolds with different degrees of fiber alignment were produced, using two discrete relative drum collector velocities. Development and preparation of an adjusted sample geometry enabled in situ tensile testing in scanning electron microscopy. By analyzing the microstructure and the use of selected tracking techniques, it was possible to visualize and quantify fiber/fiber area displacements as well as local fractures of single PCL fibers, considering quasi-static tensile load and fiber alignment. The possibility of displacement determination using in situ scanning electron microscopy techniques for testing fibrous PCL scaffolds was introduced and quantified.

description: • The integration of antisemitism as a topic for teacher education is urgent, especially in the social sciences • Education regarding contemporary antisemitism must be combined with an analysis of racism and historical-political perspectives on the Shoah to succeed in post-migrant society • Slight changes of the curricula are a reliable base for further development • A nexus between schools, universities and actors of civil society is needed in order to target antisemitism • International summer schools, German-Israeli study groups or collaborative workshops are exemplary pilot projects in order to establish competence regarding education critical of antisemitism Purpose: Following the current rise of antisemitism globally and in Germany, this paper examines the current situation regarding Antisemitism in teacher education. The paper aims to make a contribution for the demand of an implementation of education critical of Antisemitism in teacher education. Approach: Combining experience from university teacher training and the field of extracurricular political education we appoint perspectives for a sustainable implementation of education critical of antisemitism in teacher training via best practice examples. We evaluate the potentials of field trips, international study groups and networks between university and agents located in civil society. Findings: The revised curricula for Social Sciences in the state of North-Rhine-Westphalia (and formerly Berlin) name current antisemitism for the first time, indicating an urgent need for professionalization in Social Science teacher education where the facets of antisemitism only play a minor role. Hence, expertise and existing resource must be stabilized, a structural implementation and funding is needed in order to target the challenging topic of antisemitism. Research limitations/implications: This paper functions as a preliminary research in order to examine the given shape of Social Science teacher education and Antisemitism in Germany. A comprehensive, structured analyses of all teacher training facilities as well as extracurricular agents working in the field of education critical of antisemitism could be useful in order to pool expertise. Nonetheless this paper encourages local collaborations between university and civiliety actors.

Street soccer in Vancouver : player accounts of homelessness, sport, and social identity
Creators: name: O'Rourke, Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Background: The social and economic inequalities derived from homelessness have consistently been found to be related to depleted physical and psychological health (Stafford & Wood, 2017). Social connectivity and social identity (i.e., a sense of ‘us’) are increasingly recognized for their capacities to help people address a range of health challenges (e.g., addiction, social isolation, chronic mental health challenges; Beauchamp & Rhodes, 2020; C. Haslam et al., 2018). Street soccer programs represent a potential avenue for fostering social connectivity, social identity, and quality of life among people who have experienced homelessness. The focus of this study was the Vancouver Street Soccer League (VSSL), which provides a weekly soccer program for people experiencing homelessness, marginalization, and addiction in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside neighbourhood. Objectives: The overall goals of my thesis research were to (1) understand the experiences of homeless and unstably housed players in the VSSL; and (2) understand how players felt the VSSL contributed to their sense of social connection, social identity, and well-being. Methods: Ten participants’ experiences (in their own words) were examined using two complementary approaches, namely Social Identity Mapping, combined with semi-structured interviews, in addition to over 50 hours of fieldwork that included playing at the VSSL’s weekly practices. Results: Four themes (and 11 sub-themes) were developed through reflexive thematic analysis. These included: (1) Coming together through soccer, (2) Dynamics motivating continued involvement in the VSSL, (3) Leaders and leadership: Social influence in the VSSL, and (4) The VSSL and health outcomes. Conclusions: Participants described being a VSSL player as like being part of a supportive family, where one can feel included and authentic. Participants also indicated that the VSSL represents an inclusive program with valued norms of social connectivity and friendly competition, and described notable experiences related to psychological safety, stigma, recovery (from illness or substance use), and shared leadership. Opportunities for practical application, future research directions, and the study’s limitations are discussed.

The algorithms are based on the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and applied to calculate the density of states, \textit{quasieigenstates}, AC and DC conductivities of large samples containing millions of atoms. Our results give a consistent picture of evolution of electronic structure and transport properties of functionalized graphene in a broad range of concentration of impurities (from graphene to graphane), and show that the formation of impurity band is the main factor determining electrical and optical properties at intermediate impurity concentrations, together with a gap opening when approaching the graphane limit.

description: The controversies around the 2020 US presidential elections certainly casts serious concerns on the efficiency of the current voting system in representing the people's will. Is the naive Plurality voting suitable in an extremely polarized political environment? Alternate voting schemes are gradually gaining public support, wherein the voters rank their choices instead of just voting for their first preference. However they do not capture certain crucial aspects of voter preferences like disapprovals and negativities against candidates. I argue that these unexpressed negativities are the predominant source of polarization in politics. I propose a voting scheme with an explicit expression of these negative preferences, so that we can simultaneously decipher the popularity as well as the polarity of each candidate. The winner is picked by an optimal tradeoff between the most popular and the least polarizing candidate. By penalizing the candidates for their polarization, we can discourage the divisive campaign rhetorics and pave way for potential third party candidates.

description: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) are a feature imprinted in the density field by acoustic waves travelling in the plasma of the early universe. Their fixed scale can be used as a standard ruler to study the geometry of the universe. BAO have been previously detected using correlation functions and power spectra of the galaxy distribution. In this work, we present a new method for the detection of the real-space structures associated with this feature. These baryon acoustic structures are spherical shells with a relatively small density contrast, surrounding high density central regions. We design a specific wavelet adapted to the search for shells, and exploit the physics of the process by making use of two different mass tracers, introducing a specific statistic to detect the BAO features. We show the effect of the BAO signal in this new statistic when applied to the Lambda - Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) model, using an analytical approximation to the transfer function. We confirm the reliability and stability of our method by using cosmological N-body simulations from the MareNostrum Institut de Ciències de l'Espai (MICE). We apply our method to the detection of BAO in a galaxy sample drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We use the `Main' catalogue to trace the shells, and the Luminous Red Galaxies (LRG) as tracers of the high density central regions. Using this new method, we detect, with a high significance, that the LRGs in our sample are preferentially located close to the centres of shell-like structures in the density field, with characteristics similar to those expected from BAOs. We show that stacking selected shells, we can find their characteristic density profile. We have delineated a new feature of the cosmic web, the BAO shells. As these are real spatial structures, the BAO phenomenon can be studied in detail by examining those shells.

description: − Curriculum design has been recognized as preparation for practice, not practice per se. − Kyouzai Kenkyuu can be a conceptual tool to indicate curriculum design as teachers’ practice. − Kyouzai Kenkyuu is both a teacher’s practice and a disposition that a teacher needs to have. − Kyouzai Kenkyuu can strengthen teacher professionalism by understanding teachers as curriculum designers. Purpose: This study introduces the idea of Kyouzai Kenkyuu and examines its potentiality as a conceptual tool to point to the curriculum design process with a case of social science education. By doing so, this study can contribute to expanding the target of reflection from the practices inside classrooms toward the curriculum design outside classrooms and the strengthening of teacher professionalism by understanding teachers as curriculum designers. Approach: The authors utilised literature review to illustrate how Kyouzai Kenkyuu can be a conceptual tool to point to the curriculum design process. Subsequently, the authors conducted interpretative practitioner research to showcase how Kyouzai Kenkyuu can be taught in pre-service teacher education and how teacher educators can educate pre-service teachers as curriculum designers utilising insider’s perspectives. Finally, the authors discussed the potential of Kyouzai Kenkyu as a conceptual tool to indicate the content and method of designing the curriculum and as an approach to enhance teachers’ development as curriculum designers. Findings: Kyouzai Kenkyuu—Kyouzai meaning learning material(s) and Kenkyuu meaning study or research in the Japanese language—is a practice for curriculum design and one of the dispositions to define teachers as professionals. In Japan, teachers are expected to be practitioners who conduct Kenkyuu (research) about discipline, students, and the context surrounding students to design suitable Kyouzai (learning material[s]) and a curriculum for individual classrooms. In method courses, pre-service teachers verbalize and reflect on their Kyouzai Kenkyuu and how it impacts curriculum design. Through these experiences, social science teachers in Japan can enjoy the opportunities to develop their design and teaching rationales. Research limitations: This study is limited to three method courses that the authors have taught; thus, the findings on how to teach Kyouzai Kenkyuu may not be generalizable.

Magnetic sponges for localized and controlled drug delivery with drug combination therapy
Creators: name: Shademani, Ali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Systemic drug administration (i.e., intravenous injection), leading to drug circulation throughout the body can be associated with adverse side effects. Alternatively, localized drug delivery systems have been developed to focus drug concentrations at target sites. This method of delivery has been widely accepted in orthopedic infection management where the poor blood supply hampers antibiotics from reaching the infected site. Antibiotic-loaded bone cement beads have been approved for clinical delivery systems for the localized treatment of bone infections (osteomyelitis). The beads, however, have some shortcomings such as incompatibility with some antibiotics, and poor drug elution, which relies on unregulated passive diffusion. This dissertation proposes an on-demand drug delivery device that can control the release pattern using a controlled magnetic field application. The drug delivery device has the same configuration as conventional bone cement beads. It provides a sustained antibiotic discharge through a PMMA shell with multiple holes, while incorporating a magnetic porous PDMS at its core to manage the release profile via external magnetic fields. The magnetic sponge’s magneto-mechanical properties are investigated under non-uniform magnetic fields. Unlike proposed models that explore the effect of uniform magnetic fields, this study presents an analytical model that demonstrates the magnetic sponge response to the magnetic field gradient. The findings of this study and the development of the drug delivery device can provide adjustable released content controlled by the strength of the applied magnetic field. The in vitro experiments confirm the antibacterial efficacy of discharged gentamicin and silver against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria with extended bactericidal activity up to six days after drug combination. The ex vivo assessment demonstrated a successful drug discharge upon implantation with a controllable release profile using a magnet. Furthermore, to address the increasingly prevalent problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a synergy study was conducted on gentamicin and silver nitrate. The results showed a significant improvement in the antibacterial efficiency once the two agents are combined, inhibiting the growth of MRSA and E. coli by more than 3log10CFU/mL. Exploiting the drug combination therapy in conjunction with a controllable localized drug delivery device may provide a more efficient therapy for treating osteomyelitis.
Meta-reflexivity and epistemic cognition in social science teacher education

description: Keywords: meta-reflexivity, epistemic reflexivity, epistemic cognition, reflective practice, social science teacher education • Social science requires a meta-reflexive approach to teacher education • Social science teachers manage subject-specific reflective demands • Meta-reflexivity can be conceptualized using epistemic cognition frameworks • Epistemic cognition frameworks expand on social science education competence models • Epistemic cognition gives a new perspective on reflective practice in social science education Purpose: This article argues that in social science teacher education general demands for teacher reflection overlap with subject-specific reflective demands. This calls for conceptual frameworks that account for an extended reflectivity, encompassing both teacher reflection and the subject-specific approach to representing controversial issues. Approach: Concepts of reflective practice and meta-reflexivity in teacher education are presented, and a discussion is provided regarding the challenges inherent in teaching social sciences as a multidisciplinary subject. Furthermore, aspects of meta-reflectivity are identified in a German teacher competence framework (PKP). To enable a broader analysis, frameworks from the field of epistemic cognition are introduced. Findings: Utilizing frameworks of epistemic cognition enables a detailed investigation of how social science teachers manage subject-specific challenges. Epistemic reflexivity offers a concept of teacher reflection that enables a new perspective on connecting theoretical reflection in pre-service teacher education programs with later reflective practice.

description: We illustrate how our recent light-front approach simplifies relativistic electrodynamics with an electromagnetic (EM) field $F^{μν}$ that is the sum of a (even very intense) plane travelling wave $F_t^{μν}(ct\!-\!z)$ and a static part $F_s^{μν}(x,y,z)$; it adopts the light-like coordinate $ξ=ct\!-\!z$ instead of time $t$ as an independent variable. This can be applied to several cases of extreme acceleration, both in vacuum and in a cold diluted plasma hit by a very short and intense laser pulse (slingshot effect, plasma wave-breaking and laser wake-field acceleration, etc.)

description: Since the 1970's, theories of deformation and failure of amorphous, solidlike materials have started with models in which stress-driven, molecular rearrangements occur at localized flow defects via "shear transformations". This picture is the basis for the modern theory of "shear transformation zones" (STZ's), which is the focus of this review. We begin by describing the structure of the theory in general terms and by showing several applications, specifically: interpretation of stress-strain measurements for a bulk metallic glass, analysis of numerical simulations of shear banding, and the use of the STZ equations of motion in free-boundary calculations. In the second half of this article, we focus for simplicity on what we call an "athermal" model of amorphous plasticity, and use that model to illustrate how the STZ theory emerges within a systematic formulation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

description: • This study examined the implicit knowledge and cognitive complexity of studentteachers’ perspectives on being a citizen. • Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) can be used as an appropriate technique and tool for exploring implicit knowledge and the cognitive complexity of the student teachers. • The implicit knowledge of the participants reflected an understanding of a personally responsible citizen. • Cognitive complexities of the participants on being a citizen did not differ from each other with class year. • Future studies could use different methods to investigate student teachers’ implicit knowledge and cognitive complexity on citizenships education. Purpose: Students can learn to be citizens through school education and experiences in socio-cultural contexts. Individuals’ perspectives on being a citizen can be represented as implicit and explicit knowledge in cognitive structures. This study aimed to investigate the implicit knowledge and cognitive complexity of student social studies teachers’ perspectives on being a citizen Design/methodology/approach: This study comprised 23 student social studies teachers in the Department of Social Sciences Teaching in Turkey. Data were collected by using a RGT. Findings: The findings revealed that the implicit knowledge of the participants reflected an understanding of a personally responsible citizen. Many participants demonstrated cognitive simplicity. Research limitations: As the study included 23 first- and fourth-year student social studies teachers, the findings cannot be generalized to any population as whole. Practical implications: This study indicates that the justice-oriented and participatory citizen understanding of student social studies teachers must be emphasized and ened through a multidimensional perspective.

description: We calculate the equation of state of neutron matter with realistic two- and three-nucleon interactions using quantum Monte Carlo techniques, and illustrate that the short-range three-neutron interaction determines the correlation between neutron matter energy at nuclear saturation density and higher densities relevant to neutron stars. Our model also makes an experimentally testable prediction for the correlation between the nuclear symmetry energy and its density dependence -- determined solely by the strength of the short-range terms in the three neutron force. The same force provides a significant constraint on the maximum mass and radius of neutron stars.
