description: Skew algebroid is a natural generalization of the concept of Lie algebroid. In this paper, for a skew algebroid E, its modular class mod(E) is defined in the classical as well as in the supergeometric formulation. It is proved that there is a homogeneous nowhere-vanishing 1-density on E* which is invariant with respect to all Hamiltonian vector fields if and only if E is modular, i.e. mod(E)=0. Further, relative modular class of a subalgebroid is introduced and studied together with its application to holonomy, as well as modular class of a skew algebroid relation. These notions provide, in particular, a unified approach to the concepts of a modular class of a Lie algebroid morphism and that of a Poisson map.

description: HST finds galaxies whose Tolman dimming should exceed 10 mag. Could evolution alone explain these as our ancestor galaxies? Or could they be representatives of quite a different dynasty whose descendants are no longer prominent today? We explore this latter hypothesis and argue that Surface Brightness Selection Effects naturally bring into focus quite different dynasties from different redshifts. Thus the HST z=7 galaxies could be examples of galaxies whose descendants are both too small and too choked with dust to be recognizable in our neighborhood easily today. Conversely the ancestors of the Milky Way and its obvious neighbors will have completely sunk below the sky at z>1.2 although their diffuse light could account for the missing Reionization flux. This Succeeding Prominent Dynasties Hypothesis (SPDH) fits the existing observations both naturally and well,including the bizarre distributions of galaxy surface brightnesses found in deep fields, the angular size ~ inverse (1+z) law,'Downsizing' which turns out to be an 'illusion' in the sense that it does not imply evolution, 'Infant Mortality', i.e. the discrepancy between stars born and stars seen, and finally the recently discovered and unexpected excess of QSOAL DLAs at high redshift. If the SPDH is true then a large proportion of galaxies remain sunk from sight, probably at all redshifts. We show that fishing them out of the sky by their optical emissions alone will be practically impossible, even when they are nearby. More ingenious methods will be needed to detect them. It follows that disentangling galaxy evolution through studying ever higher redshift galaxies may be a forlorn hope because one will be comparing young apples with old oranges, not descendants with their own ancestors.

description: Spatial data acquired from different sources may have different measurement scales, different resolutions, different reliabilities, partial coverages, etc. Evidential reasoning provides a heuristic scheme for handling multisource spatial data. Under the evidential framework, different data sources are treated as different pieces of evidence. The evidential support of a data source over a set of hypotheses can be evaluated based on the measurements from the data source. Then the combined evidential support from different sources can be calculated using Dempster's Rule. With Dempster's Rule one can also solve the problem of incompatibility of multisource data. The major difficulty in applying evidential reasoning is the evaluation of evidential support or mass function from different pieces of evidence. In this research, some methods on the evaluation of evidential support from different data sources in the application of multisource spatial data analysis are proposed. Some practical considerations of implementing evidential reasoning are also discussed. The methods presented here have been evaluated in application of geological unit classification. The study site is located in Hall Lake area of Melville Peninsula, Northwest Territories, Canada. The data set used in this research contains: Landsat TM imagery, ERS SAR, radiometric, gravity, aeromagnetic data. The highest overall geological classification accuracy obtained by using the evidential reasoning algorithm is 95.13%.
Macroscopic Quantum Phenomena from the Correlation, Coupling and Criticality Perspectives

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In this sequel paper we explore how macroscopic quantum phenomena can be measured or understood from the behavior of quantum correlations which exist in a quantum system of many particles or components and how the interaction strengths change with energy or scale, under ordinary situations and when the system is near its critical point. We use the nPI (master) effective action related to the Boltzmann-BBGKY / Schwinger-Dyson hierarchy of equations as a tool for systemizing the contributions of higher order correlation functions to the dynamics of lower order correlation functions. Together with the large N expansion discussed in our first paper(MQP1) we explore 1) the conditions whereby an H-theorem is obtained, which can be viewed as a signifier of the emergence of macroscopic behavior in the system. We give two more examples from past work: 2) the nonequilibrium dynamics of N atoms in an optical lattice under the large $\cal N$ (field components), 2PI and second order perturbative expansions, illustrating how N and $\cal N$ enter in these three aspects of quantum correlations, coherence and coupling strength. 3) the behavior of an interacting quantum system near its critical point, the effects of quantum and thermal fluctuations and the conditions under which the system manifests infrared dimensional reduction. We also discuss how the effective field theory concept bears on macroscopic quantum phenomena: the running of the coupling parameters with energy or scale imparts a dynamical-dependent and an interaction-sensitive definition of `macroscopia'.

description: Sediments comprising the Cardium Formation accumulated from the Prionocyclus wyomingensis zone through the Scaphites preventricosus zone. In the study area no ammonite zones are absent; however, zones may be partially absent in individual sections. In the Southern Foothills the Turonian/Coniacian boundary occurs in the basal portion of the Leyland Member. Farther north this boundary probably occurs within the Moosehound Member. Prionocyclid ammonites (P. wyomingensis, P. novimexicanus, P. quadratus, P. germari, and P. sp. indet.) have been recovered from several sections in both the subsurface and surface. Scaphites preventricosus has been recovered from the Leyland Member and ranges up into the basal beds of the overlying Wapiabi Formation. Ammonites referable to the Scaphites preventricosus zone have also been recovered from the Cardium Zone in the Edson Field. In addition inoceramid bivalves, Inoceramus dimidius, Mytiloides aff. M. aviculoides, Mytiloides labiatoidiformis, Mytiloides incertus, Cremnoceramus rotundatus, Cremnoceramus erectus, Cremnoceramus deformis, and Cremnoceramus inconstans, have been recovered, confirming the ammonoid zonation. The biostratigraphic data suggest that the Cardinal Member rather than the Ram Member is the most laterally continuous member of the Cardium Formation in the Southern Foothills. Sandstones of the Pembina River Member of the Pembina Field and the Cardium "A" Sand in the Crossfield area are correlative with the Cardinal and basal Leyland . members in outcrop. The upper portion of the Leyland Member, the Sturrock Member, and the basal beds of the Wapiabi Formation are correlative with the Cardium Zone of the subsurface. The available data also suggest that the Cardium Formation is diachronous in both west - east and north - south directions. Biostratigraphic correlations indicate that unconformities within the Cardium Formation may not always represent significant time gaps or chronostratigraphic horizons.

Year: 2011

description: A stochastic pump is a Markov model of a mesoscopic system evolving under the control of externally varied parameters. In the model, the system makes random transitions among a network of states. For such models, a "no-pumping theorem" has been obtained, which identifies minimal conditions for generating directed motion or currents. We provide a derivation of this result using a simple graphical construction on the network of states.

description: We use the combination of configuration interaction and many-body perturbation theory method (CI+MBPT) to perform ab initio calculations the low-energy spectra of Cr II with high accuracy. It is found that second-order MBPT diagrams should be included in a consistent and complete way for the MBPT to improve the accuracy of calculations in this five-valence-electron system. This contrasts with previous ions with fewer valence electrons where it was found that single-valence-electron diagrams dominate the corrections. Isotope shifts and relativistic shifts (q-values) are calculated for use in astronomical determination of the fine-structure constant in quasar absorption spectra.

National Association of Women Artists 62nd Annual Exhibition, May 13 - May 30, 1954
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1954

description: The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) was established in 1889 and is the oldest professional women's fine arts organization in the United States. NAWA's mission is to promote awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. As part of this effort NAWA holds an annual exhibition of works by members of the association and publishes an exhibition catalog to accompany or commemorate the annual exhibitions. These catalogs not only function as an exhibition catalog, but also as a document that summarizes the structure, membership, and activities of the association.Information that can be found in these catalogs includes lists of officers, members of the executive board and committees, prize winners, lists of exhibitor and members, and images of some of the artwork exhibited. Catalogs from the 2000s also include information on NAWA events and activities beyond the annual exhibition.Please note that the numbering of the annual catalogs was adjusted in 1960 and again in 1971. For example, NAWA designated the annual exhibition in 1960 as the 70th Anniversary Exhibition after 1959 was the 67th Annual Exhibition. These adjustments appear to have been made to reflect the date of the founding of the association, so that, by 1989, the annual exhibition commemorated the 100-year anniversary of the founding of NAWA in 1889.

description: Numerous nuclear reactions in the crust of accreting neutron stars are strongly affected by dense plasma environment. Simulations of superbursts, deep crustal heating and other nuclear burning phenomena in neutron stars require astrophysical S-factors for these reactions (as a function of center-of-mass energy E of colliding nuclei). A large database of S-factors is created for about 5000 non-resonant fusion reactions involving stable and unstable isotopes of Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, and Si. It extends the previous database of about 1000 reactions involving isotopes of C, O, Ne, and Mg. The calculations are performed using the Sao Paulo potential and the barrier penetration formalism. All calculated S-data are parameterized by an analytic model for S(E) proposed before [Phys. Rev. C 82, 044609 (2010)] and further elaborated here. For a given reaction, the present S(E)-model contains three parameters. These parameters are easily interpolated along reactions involving isotopes of the same elements with only seven input parameters, giving an ultracompact, accurate, simple, and uniform database. The S(E) approximation can also be used to estimate theoretical uncertainties of S(E) and nuclear reaction rates in dense matter, as illustrated for the case of the 34Ne+34Ne reaction in the inner crust of an accreting neutron star.

description: During the summers of 1992/93 field research was conducted on the ethnobotany of Cree people from the community of Wabasca/Desmarais. Though this community was missionized at the tum of the century many of the people continued to live in the surrounding regions practicing more traditional lifestyles. The community has become less isolated since the 1960s when an all-weather road was constructed. Much of the traditional knowledge is no longer used because of access to modern amenities. One of the goals of this ethnobotanical study was to collect traditional knowledge specific to the community from some of the remaining Elders. Though much has been lost already, information recorded provides an interesting perspective on a lifestyle in which many local resources from the boreal forest were relied upon. Far from being a generic, vegetational realm, the boreal forest in northern Alberta is a dynamic, ever-changing environment, requiring extensive knowledge of the landscape as well as the plant and animal species. The entire region of northeastern Alberta has been neglected for environmental research of any kind. This represents an initial study of one community, hopefully others will follow. Information gathered included specific knowledge of plant use both in the present and past. Elders were consulted in informal interviews which were tape-recorded but notes were made as well. None of the Consultants will be identified for the study. Information on 61 plants identified many different uses. Many plants had multiple uses such as white spruce (Picea glauca) and paper birch (Betula papyrifera). Names of plants were recorded in Cree and transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) which provides interesting data for comparative work with other Cree ethnobotanical research.
Diffusion of hydrogen in graphite: A molecular dynamics simulation

description: Diffusion of atomic and molecular hydrogen in the interstitial space between graphite sheets has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. Interatomic interactions were modeled by a tight-binding potential fitted to density-functional calculations. Atomic hydrogen is found to be bounded to C atoms, and its diffusion consists in jumping from a C atom to a neighboring one, with an activation energy of about 0.4 eV. Molecular hydrogen is less attached to the host sheets and diffuses faster than isolated H. At temperatures lower than 500 K, H_2 diffuses with an activation energy of 89 meV, whereas at higher T its diffusion is enhanced by longer jumps of the molecule as well as by correlations between successive hops, yielding an effective activation energy of 190 meV.

description: Recent results of Milagro, Tibet, ARGO-YBJ and IceCube experiments on the small-scale anisotropy of Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) with energies from units up to a few hundred TeV arise a question on a possible nature of the observed phenomenon, as well as on the anisotropy of CRs at higher energies. An analysis of a small-scale anisotropy of CRs with energies at around PeV registered with the EAS MSU array presented in the article, reveals a number of regions with an excessive flux. A typical size of the regions varies from 3 up to 12 degrees. We study correlation of these regions with positions of potential astrophysical sources of CRs and discuss a possible origin of the observed anisotropy.

description: Excerpts from the report Highlights: Most freeze-dried foods on the market are "acceptable" from a palatability standpoint as judged by a taste panel in the U. S. Department of Agriculture. None of the 28 freeze-dried foods evaluated received an "unacceptable" score as to palatability, and two thirds of them were as good as the processed foods with which they were compared. Palatability is rated in terms of general acceptance and the five quality characteristics: Appearance, flavor, juiciness, texture, and tenderness. The freeze-dried items taste-tested included beef, pork, chicken, seafoods, soups, and several mixtures of foods. When compared with other processed foods, 3 of these were considered superior, 15 were about the same, and 10 were rated poorer in relation to their frozen or canned counterparts. Freeze-dried foods rating superior were beef noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, and shrimp Creole. Others having commendable scores relative to the comparison foods were creamed chicken, ham, sausage, swiss steak, shellfish, and soups other than those listed above.
BIOACTIVE POLY(BETA-AMINO ESTER) BIOMATERIALS FOR TREATMENT OF INFECTION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS

description: Polymers have deep roots as drug delivery tools, and are widely used in clinical to private settings. Currently, however, numerous traditional therapies exist which may be improved through use of polymeric biomaterials. Through our work with infectious and oxidative stress disease prevention and treatment, we aimed to develop application driven, enhanced therapies utilizing new classes of polymers synthesized in-house. Applying biodegradable poly(β-amino ester) (PBAE) polymers, covalent-addition of bioactive substrates to these PBAEs avoided certain pitfalls of free-loaded and non-degradable drug delivery systems. Further, through variation of polymer ingredients and conditions, we were able to tune degradation rates, release profiles, cellular toxicity, and material morphology. Using these fundamentals of covalent drug-addition into biodegradable polymers, we addressed two problems that exist with the treatment of patients with high-risk woundsites, namely non-biodegradability that require second-surgeries, and free-loaded antibiotic systems where partially degraded materials fall below the minimum inhibitory concentration, allowing biofilm proliferation. Our in situ polymerizable, covalently-bound vancomycin hydrogel provided active antibiotic degradation products and drug release which closely followed the degradation rate over tunable periods. With applications of antioxidant delivery, we continued with this concept of covalent drug addition and modified a PBAE, utilizing a disulfide moiety to mimic redox processes which glutathione/glutathione disulfide performs. This material was found to not only be hydrolytically biodegradable, but tunable in reducibility through cleavage of the disulfide crosslinker, forming antioxidant groups of bound-thiols, similar to drugs currently used in radioprotective therapies. The differential cellular viability of degradation products containing disulfide or antioxidant thiol forms was profound, and the antioxidant form significantly aided cellular resistance to a superoxide attack, similar to that of a radiation injury. Pathophysiological oxidation in the form of radiation injury or oxidative stress based diseases are often region specific to the body and thus require specific targeting, and nanomaterials are widely researched to perform this. Utilizing a tertiary-amine basecatalyst, we were able to synthesize a high drug content (20-26 wt%) version of the disulfide PBAE previously unattainable. The reduced version of this material created a linear-chain polymer capable of single-emulsion nanoparticle formulation for use with intravenous antioxidant delivery applications instead of local.

While non-linear optics effects at the single-emitter level have been demonstrated in different systems, including atoms coupled to Fabry-Perot or toroidal micro-cavities, super-conducting qubits in strip-line resonators or quantum dots (QDs) in nano-cavities, none of these experiments so far has demonstrated single-photon switching on ultrafast timescales. Here, we demonstrate that in a strongly coupled QD-cavity system the presence of a single photon on one of the fundamental polariton transitions can turn on light scattering on a transition from the first to the second Jaynes-Cummings manifold with a switching time of 20 ps. As an additional device application, we use this non-linearity to implement a single-photon pulse-correlator. Our QD-cavity system could form the building-block of future high-bandwidth photonic networks operating in the quantum regime.

description: Abstract
Tailored professional development programs for early childhood educators aim to refine skills and pedagogical approaches, fostering comprehensive child development. Despite its recognized importance, understanding the precise impact of professional development on children's well-being requires exploration. In the Chinese early childhood education context, intricate relationships between teacher professional development, teacher-child interactions, self-efficacy, and preschoolers' well-being necessitate empirical investigation. Through quantitative analysis, this study explored correlations between early childhood education teacher professional development, teacher-child interactions, self-efficacy, and preschoolers' well-being. Results show enhanced relationships and self-efficacy due to professional development, with significant mediation through teacher-child interactions. The moderating role of instructor experience on development effects was highlighted. This research, involving 230 Chinese early childhood educators, underscores the importance of nurturing educators' growth. By unveiling connections between professional development, interactions, and well-being, the study offers insights for refining educational practices.

description: We derive a supersymmetric renormalization group (RG) equation for the scale-dependent superpotential of the supersymmetric O(N) model in three dimensions. For a supersymmetric optimized regulator function we solve the RG equation for the superpotential exactly in the large-N limit. The fixed-point solutions are classified by an exactly marginal coupling. In the weakly coupled regime there exists a unique fixed point solution, for intermediate couplings we find two separate fixed point solutions and in the strong coupling regime no globally defined fixed-point potentials exist. We determine the exact critical exponents both for the superpotential and the associated scalar potential. Finally we relate the high-temperature limit of the four-dimensional theory to the Wilson-Fisher fixed point of the purely scalar theory.

description: In this work we report on photochromism in transparent thin film samples of oxygen-containing yttrium hydride. Exposure to visible and ultraviolet (UV) light at moderate intensity triggers a decrease in the optical transmission of visible and infrared (IR) light. The photo-darkening is colour-neutral. We show that the optical transmission of samples of 500 nm thickness can be reduced by up to 50% after one hour of illumination with light of moderate intensity. The reaction is reversible and samples that are left in the dark return to the initial transparent state. The relaxation time in the dark depends on the temperature of the sample and the duration of the light exposure. The photochromic reaction takes place under ambient conditions in the as-deposited state of the thin-film samples.

description: We propose a two-dimensional model consisting of photons and photon pairs. In the model, the mixed gas of photons and photon pairs is formally equivalent to a two-dimensional system of massive bosons with non-vanishing chemical potential, which implies the existence of two possible condensate phases. Using the variational method, we discuss the quantum phase transition of the mixed gas and obtain the critical coupling line analytically. Moreover, we also find that the phase transition of the photon gas can be interpreted as second harmonic generation. We then discuss the entanglement between photons and photon pairs. Additionally, we also illustrate how the entanglement between photons and photon pairs can be associated with the phase transition of the system.

description: This document reviews the academic and non-academic literature relating public libraries and social innovations, which we define as innovations involving a network of parterns in its making (input) and generating interaction networks among individuals as outcome. Public libraries' core missions have changed through time, from the curation of books to the building of communities. In this sense, they stand as potential social innovators. The upcoming case studies will explore this working hypothesis.
Aspect and the organization of argument structure and phrase structure: evidence from Malay

description: This thesis investigates the role of aspect in the organization of Argument structure and Phrase structure. We propose that aspectual roles are linked with the theta roles of the arguments in Argument structure. On the basis of constructions with the ter- prefix and the -kan suffix in Malay, we argue that it is possible to delink or add an aspectual role to a given argument. The delinking and adding mechanisms enable us to provide a unified account of ter- and -kan and permit finer operations on arguments. We also associate the aspectual roles with the projections of Phrase structure. We argue for an aspect phrase outside VP based on the prefix ter- and certain aspectual markers. We show that the outer aspect identifies the occurrence of the event, and whether the outer aspect is filled or not is determined by the aspectual tier of the verb's argument structure.

description: Records of Quaternary environmental change have been resolved on the Stikine Plateau of northwestern British Columbia. Glacial sediment has been preserved between Early Pleistocene basalt flows on Mt. Edziza and underneath Middle Pleistocene basalt flows in the Stikine River valley. The Mt. Edziza record indicates that regional ice advanced from the southwest and west of Mt. Edziza and inundated the plateau. Radiometric and paleomagnetic dating indicates sediment deposition occurred during isotope stages 24 to 26. Paleomagnetic sampling resulted in the resolution of the Jaramillo normal polarity event within the section. The Stikine River valley section indicates that river blockage and glaciolacustrine sediment deposition occurred at about 330 ± 30 ka (isotope stage 10). The blockage was a result of early ice advance in the Coast Mountains and eventual regional ice cover is indicated by till overlying the glaciolacustrine sediment. Advance-phase glaciolacustrine sediment deposited in the Stikine River valley is a record of blockage of the Stikine River by alpine glaciation during early Fraser glaciation time. The extent and thickness (>150 m) of the section indicates that a considerable lag occurred between alpine and Cordilleran ice advance into the region. Boulder lags, perched meltwater paleochannels and extensive scouring indicate that post-glacial fluvial incision was swift and that stagnant ice may have resided in the valley during deglaciation. A palynological investigation of Susie Lake, eastern Boundary Ranges, Coast Mountains, has yielded a comprehensive Late Quaternary biostratigraphic record. Paleovegetational zones record initial colonization (by 10,000 - 7800 BP), establishment of a spruce and fir forest ecotone established by warming climate (about 7800-4200 BP), gradual cooling and precipitation inc·rease accompanied by migration of lodgepole pine into the region (about 4200 - 2100 BP) and moist and cool conditions and a lowering of treeline (about 2100 BP - Present). Late Holocene oral history records are powerful tools for the resolution of physical environmental change in remote, isolated areas. Landslides have produced river blockage and flooding; the landslides occur in unstable lacustrine deposits and failure is triggered by concentrated spring runoff. Volcanic activity may have occurred as little as 160 years ago. Although subsequent verification is desirable, oral histories may provide the initial evidence of past geological events.
