description: Pixel detectors with cylindrical electrodes that penetrate the silicon substrate (so called 3D detectors) offer advantages over standard planar sensors in terms of radiation hardness, since the electrode distance is decoupled from the bulk thickness. In recent years significant progress has been made in the development of 3D sensors, which culminated in the sensor production for the ATLAS Insertable B-Layer (IBL) upgrade carried out at CNM (Barcelona, Spain) and FBK (Trento, Italy). Based on this success, the ATLAS Forward Physics (AFP) experiment has selected the 3D pixel sensor technology for the tracking detector. The AFP project presents a new challenge due to the need for a reduced dead area with respect to IBL, and the in-homogeneous nature of the radiation dose distribution in the sensor. Electrical characterization of the first AFP prototypes and beam test studies of 3D pixel devices irradiated non-uniformly are presented in this paper.

A landscape approach to Late Prehistoric settlement and subsistence patterns in the Mojave Sink
Creators: name: Thomas, Tiffany Ann
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The environment of the Late Prehistoric period (1200 A.D. to Historic Contact) Mojave Sink was wetter than modern conditions. The settlement and subsistence patterns of the occupants of the region during this period were driven by the availability of water, subsistence resources, raw material sources, and tradition. These people utilized the regional landscape based upon the seasonal availability of these resources. Supplemental agricultural production has been proposed for the Mojave River Delta due to the more favorable environmental conditions of this period. If agriculture was being practiced it would have affected the regional land-use patterns. For this thesis I propose that the archaeological sites in the Mojave Sink are part of a larger landscape that should be evaluated on a regional scale to interpret Late Prehistoric period settlement and subsistence patterns. A portion of the Mojave Sink, which includes the Mojave River Wash and Soda Playa, were sampled to develop a model of Late Prehistoric period landscape use in the Mojave Sink region.

description: We argue that in the quantum motion of a scalar particle of mass "m" on S^3_R perturbed by the trigonometric Scarf potential (Scarf I) with one internal quantized dimensionless parameter, \ell, the 3D orbital angular momentum, and another, an external scale introducing continuous parameter, B, a loss of the geometric hyper-spherical so(4) symmetry of the free motion can occur that leaves intact the unperturbed {\mathcal N}^2-fold degeneracy patterns, with {\mathcal N}=(\ell +n+1) and n denoting the nodes number of the wave function. Our point is that although the number of degenerate states for any {\mathcal N} matches dimensionality of an irreducible so(4) representation space, the corresponding set of wave functions do not transform irreducibly under any so(4). Indeed, in expanding the Scarf I wave functions in the basis of properly identified so(4) representation functions, we find power series in the perturbation parameter, B, where 4D angular momenta K\in [\ell , {\mathcal N}-1] contribute up to the order \left(\frac{2mR^2B}{\hbar^2}\right)^{{\mathcal N}-1-K}. In this fashion, we work out an explicit example on a symmetry breakdown by external scales that retains the degeneracy. The scheme extends to so(d+2) for any d.

description: We show both theoretically and experimentally that a pair of inductively coupled active LRC circuits (dimer), one with amplification and another with an equivalent amount of attenuation, display all the features which characterize a wide class of non-Hermitian systems which commute with the joint parity-time PT operator: typical normal modes, temporal evolution, and scattering processes. Utilizing a Liouvilian formulation, we can define an underlying PT-symmetric Hamiltonian, which provides important insight for understanding the behavior of the system. When the PT-dimer is coupled to transmission lines, the resulting scattering signal reveals novel features which reflect the PT-symmetry of the scattering target. Specifically we show that the device can show two different behaviors simultaneously, an amplifier or an absorber, depending on the direction and phase relation of the interrogating waves. Having an exact theory, and due to its relative experimental simplicity, PT-symmetric electronics offers new insights into the properties of PT-symmetric systems which are at the forefront of the research in mathematical physics and related fields.

description: We generalise to the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded set-up a practical method for inspecting the (non)removability of parameters in zero-curvature representations for partial differential equations (PDEs) under the action of smooth families of gauge transformations. We illustrate the generation and elimination of parameters in the flat structures over $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded PDEs by analysing the link between deformation of zero-curvature representations via infinitesimal gauge transformations and, on the other hand, propagation of linear coverings over PDEs using the Frölicher--Nijenhuis bracket.

description: A key insight from recent studies is that noise, such as dephasing, can improve the efficiency of quantum transport by suppressing coherent single-particle interference effects. However, it is not yet clear whether dephasing can enhance transport in an interacting many-body system. Here, we address this question by analyzing the transport properties of a boundary driven spinless fermion chain with nearest-neighbor interactions subject to bulk dephasing. The many-body nonequilibrium stationary state is determined using large-scale matrix product simulations of the corresponding quantum master equation. We find dephasing enhanced transport only in the strongly interacting regime, where it is shown to induce incoherent transitions bridging the gap between bound dark states and bands of mobile eigenstates. The generic nature of the transport enhancement is illustrated by a simple toy model, which contains the basic elements required for its emergence. Surprisingly, the effect is significant even in the linear response regime of the full system, and it is predicted to exist for any large and finite chain. The response of the system to dephasing also establishes a signature of an underlying nonequilibrium phase transition between regimes of transport degradation and enhancement. The existence of this transition is shown not to depend on the integrability of the model considered. As a result, dephasing enhanced transport is expected to persist in more realistic nonequilibrium strongly correlated systems.

description: Der akademische wie auch der öffentliche Diskurs rund um Migration und die Chancen von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Migrationshintergrund in Österreich ist nach wie vor überwiegend defizitorientiert. Der vorliegende Beitrag beleuchtet hingegen, wie es türkischen Studierenden der zweiten Generation gelingen konnte, trotz ihrer Herkunft aus einem bildungsfernen Elternhaus Hürden zu überwinden und einen Bildungs- und damit sozialen Aufstieg zu schaffen. Ausgehend von Pierre Bourdieus
 Habituskonzept werden mithilfe einer empirisch-qualitativen Studie, in der erfolgreiche
BildungsaufsteigerInnen selbst zu Wort kommen, deren Aufstiegshabitus, biographische Erfahrungen, intrinsische und extrinsische Motivation, Verhaltensmuster und Handlungsstrategien untersucht, die
ihnen zu ihrem Bildungserfolg verholfen haben. Welche Ressourcen standen ihnen trotz oder gerade wegen der familiären Migrationserfahrungen zur Verfügung? Wie haben sie von diesen Ressourcen Gebrauch gemacht oder wie haben sie deren Fehlen kompensiert? Insbesondere liegt der Fokus
auf der (kulturellen) Identitätsfindung und dem Verhältnis der jungen Menschen zur von den Eltern vermittelten Religion und Tradition – einem Verhältnis, das im Zuge des Bildungsaufstiegs einschneidenden Transformationsprozessen unterworfen sein kann.
description: Academic as well as public discourse on migration and the opportunities available to children and adolescents of immigrant parents in Austria is still largely focussed on disadvantages. This article shines a light on how second-generation students with a Turkish background were able to overcome challenges associated with having parents with a lower educational level, achieve academic success
and thus upward social mobility. Following Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus, the present empirical-qualitative research examines habits of success, life experiences, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, behavioural patterns and strategies of action relevant to educational attainment. Interviews with academically successful students reveal resources that helped them despite or rather because
of their migration experience, how they leveraged these resources and how they compensated a lack thereof. The study focuses on the formation of (cultural) identity and the relationship young people have with their parent’s traditions and religion. This relationship may undergo significant
 transformational processes as part of the educational process.

title: High-resolution lidar mapping and analysis to quantify surface movement of Swift Creek landslide, Whatcom County, WA
Creators: name: Ferreira, Benjamin R.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
I investigated the applicability of using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to quantify surface displacement of the Swift Creek landslide, an active earth flow in the foothills of northwest Washington State. Five surveys were completed from October, 2009-April, 2011 to identify and measure spatial and temporal changes in the movement of the landslide. The seasonally variable movement patterns at the site provide an ideal environment to test the effectiveness of newly emerging methods to measure surface displacement. Iterative closest point (ICP) analysis and image cross-correlation via particle image velocimetry (PIV) were applied to sequential TLS datasets to identify and match features in multi-temporal data. ICP utilizes a distance-based function to match point-cloud surfaces whereas PIV is essentially a pixel-matching algorithm applied to derived DEMs and slopegradient images. Results of the analysis revealed that the ICP and PIV methods applied to LiDAR data are suitable for measuring surface displacement on actively deforming landscapes. Total movement rates of 25 boulders on the toe ranged from 3.3 to 39.3 m/yr, with seasonal changes evident in their movement patterns. PIV analysis produced a spatially continuous displacement field when the time between surveys was less than about five months. Results show that the toe is a highly dynamic zone with as many as five discrete zones of movement. To gain a better understanding of the overall dynamics of the Swift Creek landslide, I applied PIV analysis to airborne LiDAR acquired in 2006 and 2011 that extended the spatial coverage to the entire basin. Movement rates on the main body of the landslide were 3.0 (+/- 0.9) m/yr over the five years. Using both terrestrial and airborne LiDAR data allowed me to circumvent the limitations of each to quantify movement across the whole landslide. My data suggests that the landslide undergoes a transition from a predominately sliding mass in its upper portion to a flow near the top of the unvegetated toe based on increasing velocity and more variable movement patterns observed in this area.

description: Motivated by the complex gamma-ray spectrum of the Galactic Center source now measured over five decades in energy, we revisit the issue of the role of dark matter annihilations in this interesting region. We reassess whether the emission measured by the HESS collaboration could be a signature of dark matter annihilation, and we use the {\em Fermi} LAT spectrum to model the emission from SgrA*, using power-law spectral fits. We find that good fits are achieved by a power law with an index $\sim 2.5-2.6$, in combination with a spectrum similar to the one observed from pulsar population and with a spectrum from a $\gsi10$ TeV DM annihilating to a mixture of $b{\bar b}$ and harder $τ^+ τ^-$ channels and with boost factors of the order of a hundred. Alternatively, we also consider the combination of a log-parabola fit with the DM contribution. Finally, as both the spectrum of gamma rays from the Galactic Center and the spectrum of cosmic ray electrons exhibit a cutoff at TeV energies, we study the dark matter fits to both data-sets. Constraining the spectral shape of the purported dark matter signal provides a robust way of comparing data. We find a marginal overlap only between the 99.999% C.L. regions in parameter space.

description: Magnetic helicity is a physical quantity that describes field topology. It is also a conserved quantity as Berger in 1984 demonstrated that the total magnetic helicity is still conserved in the corona even when there is a fast magnetic reconnection. It is generally believed that solar magnetic fields, together with their helicity, are created in the convection zone by various dynamo processes. These fields and helicity are transported into the corona through solar photosphere and finally released into the interplanetary space via various processes such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar winds. Here I will give a brief review on our recent works, first on helicity observations on the photosphere and how to understand these observations via dynamo models. Mostly, I will talk about what are the possible consequences of magnetic helicity accumulation in the corona, namely, the formation of magnetic flux ropes, CMEs taking place as an unavoidable product of coronal evolution, and flux emergences as a trigger of CMEs. Finally, I will address on in what a form magnetic field in the interplanetary space would accommodate a large amount of magnetic helicity that solar dynamo processes have been continuously producing.

description: Within this work, from a large amount of non-viral vectors available for gene transfer, some representative ones were chosen to be associated to the widely used reporter gene pCMVβGal. Polycationic bPEI, single positively charged poloxamine 304 and the non-ionic poloxamer PE6400 were applied as polymeric DNA carrier systems. Further non-polymeric formulations contained non-charged cholesterol or monocationic DC-cholesterol, both solubilized by randomly methylated β-cyclodextrins (rM-β-CD). As dispersants, water, NaCl 0.45% and Tyrode’s solution were used. Size investigations of the resulting structures were performed through dynamic light scattering (DLS) to evaluate the utilizability of the technique in such concerns. It appears that the interaction behavior strongly depends on the physicochemical properties of the applied vector: for bPEI and poloxamine 304, both exhibiting strong electrostatic interactions with DNA, the method accurately describes the samples in various media and concentrations. The interaction potential between the plasmid and its complexation partner is clearly evidenced from the size distribution profiles that are different for DNA alone, the vector alone and the associates of both components. The hydrodynamic diameters of the PE6400, cholesterol or DC-cholesterol containing formulations strongly resemble the ones obtained for DNA alone. Since an overlay between the peaks of pCMVβGal and the vector may exist, the application of DLS as sole technique cannot clearly affirm the existence of interactions for theses dynamic structures. To round off the investigations, morphological cryo-TEM analysis and ζ-potential measurements were performed in addition.
Negative refraction of inhomogeneous waves in lossy isotropic media

description: We theoretically study negative refraction of inhomogeneous waves at the interface of lossy isotropic media. We obtain explicit (up to the sign) expressions for the parameters of a wave transmitted through the interface between two lossy media characterized by complex permittivity and permeability. We show that the criterion of negative refraction that requires negative permittivity and permeability can be used only in the case of a homogeneous incident wave at the interface between a lossless and lossy media. In a more general situation, when the incident wave is inhomogeneous, or both media are lossy, the criterion of negative refraction becomes dependent on an incident angle. Most interestingly, we show that negative refraction can be realized in conventional lossy materials (such as metals) if their interfaces are properly oriented.

description: Theoretical arguments and large-scale two-fluid simulations are used to study the spreading of reconnection X-lines localized in the direction of the current as a func- tion of the strength of the out-of-plane (guide) magnetic field. It is found that the mech- anism causing the spreading is different for weak and strong guide fields. In the weak guide field limit, spreading is due to the motion of the current carriers, as has been pre- viously established. However, spreading for strong guide fields is bi-directional and is due to the excitation of Alfvén waves along the guide field. In general, we suggest that the X-line spreads bi-directionally with a speed governed by the faster of the two mecha- nisms for each direction. A prediction on the strength of the guide field at which the spread- ing mechanism changes is formulated and verified with three-dimensional simulations. Solar, magnetospheric, and laboratory applications are discussed.

description: Observations of open star clusters in the solar neighborhood are used to calculate local supernova (SN) rates for the past 510 million years (Myr). Peaks in the SN rates match passages of the Sun through periods of locally increased cluster formation which could be caused by spiral arms of the Galaxy. A statistical analysis indicates that the Solar System has experienced many large short-term increases in the flux of Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) from nearby supernovae. The hypothesis that a high GCR flux should coincide with cold conditions on the Earth is borne out by comparing the general geological record of climate over the past 510 million years with the fluctuating local SN rates. Surprisingly a simple combination of tectonics (long-term changes in sea level) and astrophysical activity (SN rates) largely accounts for the observed variations in marine biodiversity over the past 510 Myr. An inverse correspondence between SN rates and carbon dioxide (CO$_2$) levels is discussed in terms of a possible drawdown of CO$_2$ by enhanced bioproductivity in oceans that are better fertilized in cold conditions - a hypothesis that is not contradicted by data on the relative abundance of the heavy isotope of carbon, $^{13}$C.

description: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic forced medical schools to alter the way medical education was delivered, as the clinical learning environment within the NHS was transformed. At UCL Medical School (UCLMS) a clinical apprenticeship model was introduced to aid learning on clinical placements during these challenging circumstances. The clinical apprenticeship model focused on students learning through engaging in day to-day activities on clinical placements with less structured clinical teaching.

 Summary of Work: After eighteen months of this pedagogical model, two mixed-methods research studies were undertaken to evaluate the apprenticeship model. Clinicians at healthcare trusts teaching UCL medical students were invited to participate in a voluntary anonymous online survey. Year 4-6 UCLMS students were eligible to participate in the student study and were invited to:
 1) complete an anonymous voluntary online survey;
 2) participate in focus groups, discussing their experiences of the clinical apprenticeship model.
 Grounded theory approach was used for thematic analysis of focus group transcripts, with principal themes identified from the data.

 Summary of Results: There was an apparent lack of understanding of the clinical apprenticeship model from both students and clinicians. Students perceived 'clinical apprenticeship' to be a style of learning to get actively involved with healthcare teams on clinical placements. Clinicians felt it aligned with mentoring, practical experience and enabled students to gain responsibility. Most students perceived that the clinical apprenticeship model resulted in less teaching, whilst many clinicians reported it often reduced student engagement. Many students reported that they often did not feel welcome or part of the clinical team, aspects which they felt were paramount, directly impacting their engagement and overall learning experience.

 Discussion and Conclusion: Key areas important to students and clinicians for clinical learning emerged, in particular student engagement and feeling part of the team. Findings highlight the need to transform the clinical apprenticeship model to ensure it is fit for purpose with clear communication to all stakeholders. The new model should highlight the importance of student engagement in clinical activities that may not be perceived as formal teaching, with clinical teams ensuring that students have a sense of belonging.

 Take-home Message: Students prefer structured learning to clinical apprenticeships.

description: Background
 Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a shift in medical education towards learning through online resources, and it has been shown that this can enhance undergraduates' knowledge and skills. 'Study Skills Modules' have been shown to be effective in improving medical students' exam performance. Following students at UCL medical school (UCLMS) highlighting a lack of study skills support, this study aimed to clarify student perspectives and design an online study skill resource to address this gap.

 Summary Of Work
 This was a mixed methods study using an anonymous questionnaire and focus groups. Following analysis using descriptive statistics, focus groups were refined to further explore ideas for an online resource. Transcripts were analysed via inductive coding following Braun and Clark’s phases of thematic analysis. Themes guided the design of an online page on Moodle.

 Summary Of Results
 The majority of students felt there was currently a lack of study skills support. Results supported the formation of an online resource to aid with this. Based on feedback, the page was designed to include features such as: Anonymous group forums to allow for peer-to-peer communication and senior support Evidence-based study techniques Multi-modality student tips on exam preparation Links to one-to-one appointments with staff
 Discussion And Conclusion
 The number of themes identified in focus groups highlighted that students value a variety of methods of studying. The online resource created therefore identifies a potential solution to providing support for a diverse cohort of students through resources for multiple study skills on one page, which is available at all times. As the focus groups highlighted a disparity of access to tips from seniors, forums in which all year groups can communicate means support from seniors is easily accessible. Its ability to be continually updated means it can adapt to student needs in the future. Though this study was carried out on UCLMS students, it provides a structure for an online resource to fill gaps in study skills provision, which can be adapted for other universities.

 Take Home Message
 An online resource with a range of study skills support allows students to access guidance relevant to their individual needs.

description: In this note we study some properties of infinite percolation clusters on non-amenable graphs. In particular, we study the percolative properties of the complement of infinite percolation clusters. An approach based on mass-transport is adapted to show that for a large class of non-amenable graphs, the graph obtained by removing each site contained in an infinite percolation cluster has critical percolation threshold which can be arbitrarily close to the critical threshold for the original graph, almost surely, as p approaches p_c. Closely related is the self-destructive percolation process, introduced by J. van den Berg and R. Brouwer, for which we prove that an infinite cluster emerges for any small reinforcement.

title: "Actuated by the fear of loosing their all": civilian response to the Revolutionary War in Georgia
Creators: name: Hall, Leslie
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 1993

description:
Between 1775 and 1782 Georgia was wracked by social and political revolutions, as well as a local civil war. Britain and the United States wanted Georgia, and during the Revolutionary War they established competing civil governments and military units within her borders. Irregular troops, autonomous militia units and unaligned marauders roamed the countryside, while the military requisitioned property and claimed booty. As the threat of famine and anarchy grew, the rival governments struggled to keep people from fleeing Georgia, and allowed a flexible allegiance in order to maintain the population. Many who survived these years in Georgia did so by setting aside any political convictions they might have held and supporting the local government in power. They did this in order to protect and retain their property, if not add to it. The end result was that political authority shifted from a planter elite to a broadly-based electorate.

description: We define a new class of numbers based on the first occurrence of certain patterns of zeros and ones in the expansion of irracional numbers in a given basis and call them Sagan numbers, since they were first mentioned, in a special case, by the North-american astronomer Carl E. Sagan in his science-fiction novel "Contact." Sagan numbers hold connections with a wealth of mathematical ideas. We describe some properties of the newly defined numbers and indicate directions for further amusement.

title: Mapping disciplinary relationships in Astrobiology: 2001-2012
Creators: name: Cornell, Jason W.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
Astrobiology is an emerging field that addresses three fundamental questions: 1) How does “life,” defined as a “self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution,” (Mullen, 2013, p.1) in the Universe begin and evolve? 2) Does life exist elsewhere in the Universe? & 3) What is the future of life on Earth? With such intriguing questions, all rooted in human concerns, success in answering these questions depends upon the integration of diverse scientific disciplines, including the social sciences as well as the humanities. In this thesis, I state that integration can only happen through interdisciplinary knowledge production, defined as the process of answering a question, solving a problem, or addressing a subject involving several unrelated academic disciplines in a way that forces them to cross subject boundaries in order to create new knowledge and theory (Klein & Newell, 1998). Thus, this thesis addresses the following question – What are the barriers to the social sciences and humanities having a clear presence in Astrobiology research? And what are future prospects for acceptability and funding for interdisciplinary research in Astrobiology, especially from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which is the largest source of funding for Astrobiology (NRC, 2008)? In this thesis I review abstracts and categorize disciplinary identities of research articles published in Astrobiology, the oldest journal dedicated solely to Astrobiology, from 2001 to 2012. I then create annual spatial maps of Astrobiology research articles using bibliometrics, which are methods used to quantitatively analyze and create maps of academic literature origins. Specifically, I determine 1) the number of disciplines involved in specific Astrobiology articles, as well as 2) the extent to which a research article cites diverse disciplines. From this information, maps showing the predominance of disciplines as well as the distribution of citations, known as disciplinary diversity, are created. By looking at the organization of research, questions are raised about how disciplinary structures came about and what relationships exist among research disciplines. These questions are then analyzed through psychological and sociological ideas used to describe interdisciplinary research relationships. The results suggest that research shows little embeddedness (i.e. connection with) among multiple disciplines, likely due to entrenched disciplinary culture and privileging, in which researchers have a tendency to value and collaborate only with similar disciplines. This study concludes by offering a number of recommendations regarding promoting effective integration of the social science and humanities into Astrobiology.
Dark matter density profile and galactic metric in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity

description: We consider the density profile of pressureless dark matter in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld (EiBI) gravity. The gravitational field equations are investigated for a spherically symmetric dark matter galactic halo, by adopting a phenomenological tangential velocity profile for test particles moving in stable circular orbits around the galactic center. The density profile and the mass distribution, as well as the general form of the metric tensor is obtained by numerically integrating the gravitational field equations, and in an approximate analytical form by using the Newtonian limit of the theory. In the weak field limit the dark matter density distribution is described by the Lane-Emden equation with polytropic index $n=1$, and is non-singular at the galactic center. The parameter $κ$ of the theory is determined so that that the theory could provide a realistic description of the dark matter halos. The gravitational properties of the dark matter halos are also briefly discussed in the Newtonian approximation.

title: Parent adolescent conflict among Asian Indian immigrant families
Creators: name: Kumar, Aparna
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
Acculturation can be a difficult process for immigrant families as parents and children adjust to different cultural value systems. Parents and adolescents may acculturate at different rates to the mainstream culture due to parents wanting to retain their heritage culture and adolescents immersion into mainstream Western culture. This seems to assume assimilation as the same process as acculturation when it is only one possible outcome. As a result of this, acculturation gaps between parents and adolescents result, which may lead to parent-adolescent conflict. The current study took a mixed methods approach to investigate how Asian Indian immigrant families experience parentadolescent conflict. Rasch analyses were used to assess the cultural measurement equivalence of the Asian American Family Conflict Scale (FCS) and the Issues Checklist (IC) among 52 Asian Indian adolescents. Twelve adolescents participated in semistructured interviews to provide qualitative insight into the nature of parent-adolescent conflict and which of these two measures captured conflict within this population. Multiple regression analyses indicated that acculturative stress predicted scores on the FCS and the IC. Rasch analysis, the study identified one misfit item for the FCS with this population. Understanding the reasoning behind this misfit item as well as why this scale performed well is provided by interview data.
