description: We investigate the impact of spatial variations in the ionized fraction during reionization on temperature anisotropies in the CMB. We combine simulations of large scale structure to describe the underlying density field with an analytic model based on extended Press-Schechter theory to track the reionization process. We find that the power spectrum of the induced CMB anisotropies depends sensitively on the character of the reionization epoch. Models that differ in the extent of the "patchy phase" could be distinguished by future experiments such as the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the South Pole Telescope (SPT). In our models, the patchy signal peaks at $l\simeq 2000$, where it can be four times larger than the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ)/Ostriker-Vishniac (OV) signal ($ΔT_{\rm tot} \simeq 2.6 μK$). On scales beyond $l \simeq 4000$ the total Doppler signal is dominated by kSZ/OV, but the patchy signal can contribute up to 30% to the power spectrum. The effect of patchy reionization is largest on scales where the primordial CMB anisotropies dominate. Ignoring this contribution could lead to significant biases in the determination of cosmological parameters derived from CMB temperature measurements. Improvements in the theoretical modeling of the reionization epoch will become increasingly important to interpret the results of upcoming experiments.

description: This study analyzes consumer purchasing behavior of organic fresh fruits and vegetables using the 2006 Nielsen Homescan panel. An ordered logit model was estimated to quantify the impacts of economic and socio-demographic factors on the probability of a household belonging to a specific organic user group—devoted, casual, or nonuser. Results suggest that price and income, to some extent, affect consumer purchases of organic produce. Additionally, the profile of an organic produce user is most likely to consist of an Hispanic household residing in the Western United States with children under 6 years old and a household head older than 54 years with at least a college degree.

description: The objective of this study is to examine empirically the impact of good corporate governance on financial performance of United Kingdom non-financial listed firms. Agency theory and stewardship theory serve as the bases of a conceptual model. Five corporate governance mechanisms are examined on two financial performance indicators, return on assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q, employing cross-sectional regression methodology. The conclusion drawn from empirical test so performed on 252 firms listed on London Stock Exchange for the year 2014 indicates a positive or a negative relationship, but also sometimes no effect, of corporate governance mechanisms impact on financial performance. The implications are discussed. Thereby, so distinguishing effects due to causes, we present a proof that, when the right corporate governance mechanisms are chosen, the finances of a firm can be improved. The results of this research should have some implication on academia and policy makers thoughts.

description: Le point de départ de cet article est la thèse énoncée par Monique Wittig dans La pensée straight selon laquelle certains sujets – et notamment les femmes – n’ont pas accès à la parole dans le langage dominant, ne peuvent pas dire « je » sans entrer immédiatement dans une contradiction performative. Nous analyserons la reprise de cette thèse par Judith Butler dans Trouble dans le genre, ainsi que sa critique. Si Butler, tout comme Wittig, cherche à dénoncer les formes de domination en termes de genre dont le langage est porteur, elle s’oppose en revanche à l’idée selon laquelle on pourrait se libérer de ce langage dominant. Dans la mesure où les sujets sont toujours déjà constitués par le langage du pouvoir, une « libération » est impossible. Butler y substitue l’idée de « resignification », et ouvre la voie à une politique du performatif permettant de lutter contre un langage excluant.

description: The generalized dynamic Rotterdam model was used in estimating U.S. demand for disaggregated catfish. The overall goal was to examine habit persistence in consumption and to determine the adjustment process in demand. Results indicated that it took up to 1 month for catfish-product demand to fully adjust to changes in expenditures and prices. Additionally, habit persistence played a role in demand where present consumption of a given product was positively affected by past consumption of that product. Consequently, U.S. catfish demand was significantly more elastic in the long-run.

Circular light orbits of a general, static, and spherical symmetrical wormhole with $Z_2$ symmetry

description: Recently, the ring images or the shadow images of the centers of the galaxy M87 and the Milky way have been reported by Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. It is believed that the ring images imply that the central objects form unstable light circular orbits. Some of wormholes with $Z_2$ symmetry against a throat are wrongly excluded from the candidates at the centers of M87 and the Milky way due to the overlooking the unstable light circular orbits on the throat. A general asymptotically-flat, static, and spherical symmetrical wormhole without a thin shell has at least one unstable circular light orbit at the throat or elsewhere. If the wormhole has $Z_2$ symmetry against the throat, it has the unstable circular light orbits on the throat or it has stable circular light orbits on the throat and unstable ones near the throat. We need to analyze the throat carefully to make sure we do not unfairly rule out the $Z_2$-symmetrical wormholes. In this study, we categorize the numbers of the circular light orbits of the $Z_2$-symmetrical wormhole and their stability from the derivatives of an effective potential at the throat and we investigate the circular light orbits around a Simpson-Visser black-bounce spacetime, a Damour-Solodukhin wormhole spacetime, a Reissner-Nordström black-hole-like wormhole spacetime or a charged Damour-Solodukhin wormhole spacetime as examples. We give complete treatments including degenerated circular light orbits made from more than one stable and unstable circular light orbits on and off the throat.

description: Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) tariffs on U.S. potato imports to Mexico were phased out by 1993. Citing phytosanitary issues, in 1996, the Mexican government placed quantitative restrictions on U.S. potato imports and restricted their import only to designated border areas. This article estimates the welfare cost of restricting U.S. potato imports into Mexico. We find that removing trade restrictions may lead to over 1.8 million tons of new imports into Mexico, a gain of consumer surplus of 4.0 billion pesos per year, and a loss of 2.9 billion pesos of producer surplus.

description: We report viscous flow properties of a redox-active organic molecule, N-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl)phenothiazine (MEEPT), a candidate for non-aqueous redox flow batteries, and two of its radical cation salts. A microfluidic viscometer enabled the use of small sample volumes in determining viscosity as a function of shear rate and concentration in the non-aqueous solvent, acetonitrile, both with and without supporting salts. All solutions tested show Newtonian behavior over shear rates of up to 30,000 1/s, which is rationalized by scaling arguments for the diffusion-based relaxation time of a single MEEPT molecule without aggregation. Neat MEEPT is flowable but with a large viscosity (412 mPa s) at room temperature), which is approximately 1,000 times larger than acetonitrile. When dissolved in acetonitrile, MEEPT solutions have low viscosities; at concentrations up to 0.5 M, the viscosity increases by less than a factor of two. From concentration-dependent viscosity measurements, molecular information is inferred from intrinsic viscosity (hydrodynamic diameter) and the Huggins coefficient (interactions). Model fit credibility is assessed using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). It is found that the MEEPT and its charged cation are "flowable" and do not flocculate at concentrations up to 0.5 M. MEEPT has a hydrodynamic diameter of around 0.85 nm, which is largely insensitive to supporting salt and state of charge. This size is comparable to molecular dimensions of single molecules obtained from optimized structures using density function theory calculations. The results suggest that MEEPT is a promising candidate for redox flow batteries in terms of its viscous flow properties.

description: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionized many procedures and led to reduced recovery time and risk of patient injury. However, MIS poses additional complexity and burden on surgical teams. Data-driven surgical vision algorithms are thought to be key building blocks in the development of future MIS systems with improved autonomy. Recent advancements in machine learning and computer vision have led to successful applications in analyzing videos obtained from MIS with the promise of alleviating challenges in MIS videos. Surgical scene and action understanding encompasses multiple related tasks that, when solved individually, can be memory-intensive, inefficient, and fail to capture task relationships. Multitask learning (MTL), a learning paradigm that leverages information from multiple related tasks to improve performance and aid generalization, is well suited for fine-grained and high-level understanding of MIS data. This review provides a narrative overview of the current state-of-the-art MTL systems that leverage videos obtained from MIS. Beyond listing published approaches, we discuss the benefits and limitations of these MTL systems. Moreover, this manuscript presents an analysis of the literature for various application fields of MTL in MIS, including those with large models, highlighting notable trends, new directions of research, and developments.

description: Echo protocols provide a means to investigate the arrow of time in macroscopic processes. Starting from a nonequilibrium state, the many-body quantum system under study is evolved for a certain period of time $τ$. Thereafter, an (effective) time reversal is performed that would -- if implemented perfectly -- take the system back to the initial state after another time period $τ$. Typical examples are nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and polarization echo experiments. The presence of small, uncontrolled inaccuracies during the backward propagation results in deviations of the "echo signal" from the original evolution, and can be exploited to quantify the instability of nonequilibrium states and the irreversibility of the dynamics. We derive an analytic prediction for the typical dependence of this echo signal for macroscopic observables on the magnitude of the inaccuracies and on the duration $τ$ of the process, and verify it in numerical examples.

description: L’utilisation dite générique de la forme grammaticale masculine en français et plus généralement dans les langues indo-européennes, comme par exemple le terme les étudiants pour désigner un groupe mixte, dénote une forme certaine d’androcentrisme. Tout d’abord, elle nous contraint à percevoir le monde au travers d’un prisme masculin. Ensuite, elle induit des représentations mentales biaisées, favorables aux hommes. Finalement, elle représente une asymétrie linguistique profonde, du fait que la forme masculine est associée à plusieurs sens possibles, alors que la forme féminine n’en a qu’un seul. Dans cet article, nous nous pencherons tout d’abord sur ces différents aspects, en étayant nos propos par des recherches récentes en psychologie du langage. Nous examinerons ensuite différentes formes d’écriture développées dans le but de pallier la domination du masculin, en questionnant leur potentiel inclusif, à la fois en termes de femmes et d’hommes mais également en termes de genre non-binaire.

description: Mullins' theory predicts the buildup of adatoms during surface diffusion at the edges of grooves where grain boundaries emerge to the surface of a polycrystalline film. However, the mesoscopic nature of this theory prevents the identification of the atomic scale physical mechanisms involved in this phenomenon. Here, we interpret the buildup of adatoms in atomistic terms through a mean-field rate-equation model and demonstrate both its kinetic nature and its impact on the intrinsic stress in these systems. Furthermore, the model provides estimates of the surface profile of intrinsic stress, of its typical mean values, and of the dependence of stress on temperature and deposition flux for different growth stages. These estimates agree well with reported experimental results obtained from recent advances in nanoscale mapping of mechanical stresses on the surface of polycrystalline films.

Academic reading strategies used by Chinese EFL learners : five case studies
Creators: name: Cheng, Li
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The number of people learning English as a second or foreign language has increased dramatically over the last two decades. Many of these second language learners are university students who must attain very sophisticated academic skills. To a great extent, their academic success hinges on their ability to read a second language. This multiplecase study investigated first language (LI) and second language (L2) reading strategies in academic settings. The study drew on Bernhardt's (2000) socio-cognitive model of second language reading. Five Chinese students in a graduate program in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) volunteered to participate in the study. A combination of data collection techniques was employed including think-alouds, interviews, learning logs, classroom observations, course materials, and the participants' reading samples. The results showed that there were similarities and differences between LI and L2 reading strategies. Although evidence was found supporting the view of cognitive universals and socio-cultural constraints, individual differences at the cognitive level and similarities across cultures were also identified. The findings of this study indicate that the comparison between LI and L2 academic reading should take into consideration the similarities and differences at both cognitive and cultural levels. Implications are discussed in relation to the construction of an L2 transfer model as well as the delivery of L2 reading instruction.

description: Previous theoretical works suggested that superhydrophobicity could be enhanced through partial inhibition of the quantum vacuum modes at the surface of a broadband-absorber metamaterial which acts in the extreme ultraviolet frequency domain. This effect would then compete with the classical Cassie-Baxter interpretation of superhydrophobicity. In this article, we first theoretically establish the expected phenomenological features related to such a kind of "quantum" superhydrophobicity. Then, relying on this theoretical framework, we experimentally study patterned silicon surfaces on which organosilane molecules were grafted, all the coated surfaces having similar characteristic pattern sizes but different profiles. Some of these surfaces can indeed freeze quantum photon modes while others cannot. While the latter ones allow hydrophobicity, only the former ones allow for superhydrophobicity. We believe these results lay the groundwork for further complete assessment of superhydrophobicity induced by quantum fluctuations freezing.

description: Compact symbolic expressions have been shown to be more efficient than neural network models in terms of resource consumption and inference speed when implemented on custom hardware such as FPGAs, while maintaining comparable accuracy~\cite{tsoi2023symbolic}. These capabilities are highly valuable in environments with stringent computational resource constraints, such as high-energy physics experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. However, finding compact expressions for high-dimensional datasets remains challenging due to the inherent limitations of genetic programming, the search algorithm of most symbolic regression methods. Contrary to genetic programming, the neural network approach to symbolic regression offers scalability to high-dimensional inputs and leverages gradient methods for faster equation searching. Common ways of constraining expression complexity often involve multistage pruning with fine-tuning, which can result in significant performance loss. In this work, we propose $\tt{SymbolNet}$, a neural network approach to symbolic regression specifically designed as a model compression technique, aimed at enabling low-latency inference for high-dimensional inputs on custom hardware such as FPGAs. This framework allows dynamic pruning of model weights, input features, and mathematical operators in a single training process, where both training loss and expression complexity are optimized simultaneously. We introduce a sparsity regularization term for each pruning type, which can adaptively adjust its strength, leading to convergence at a target sparsity ratio. Unlike most existing symbolic regression methods that struggle with datasets containing more than $\mathcal{O}(10)$ inputs, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our model on the LHC jet tagging task (16 inputs), MNIST (784 inputs), and SVHN (3072 inputs).

Ecology and remarks.
This species occurs among coral rubble at depths of 1– 4 m. Panamanian specimens agree closely with previous descriptions of the species except for having five flagellar segments on antenna 1 (8 in original description) and more apically rounded pereopods 3 and 4 (triangular in original description). The size of pereopod 5 in illustrated specimen seems to be an anomaly, as all other specimens were missing pereopod 5. Variation among specimens collected in Panama includes differences in dorsal projections on body and proximal projections on gnathopod 2 and pereopods 6 and 7. Due to the morphological variation in specimens, comparison with type material is necessary to confirm the species identification. Live specimens are white in color with purple-brown splotches and a red eye.

description: It is imperative to map the strength and distribution of feedback in galaxies to understand how feedback affects the galactic ecosystems. H$_2$O masers act as indicators of energy injection into the ISM. Our goal is to measure the strength and distribution of feedback traced by water masers in the Milky Way. We identify optical counterparts to H$_2$O masers discovered by the HOPS survey. The distribution and luminosities of H$_2$O masers in the Milky Way are determined using parallax measurements derived from the second Gaia Data Release. We provide evidence of a correlation between evolved stars, as traced by H$_2$O masers, and the spiral structure of the Milky Way, suggesting a link between evolved stars and the Galactic environment.

description: While the no-core shell model is a state-of-the-art microscopic approach to low-energy nuclear structure, its intense computational requirements lead us to consider time-honored approximations such as the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation and the random phase approximation (RPA). We review RPA and point out some common misunderstandings, then apply HF+RPA to the no-core shell model. Here the main issue is appropriate treatment of contamination by spurious center-of-mass motion.

description: Si le Québec a été à l’avant-garde sur la question de la féminisation de la langue, cela ne signifie pas qu’aucune difficulté ne s’est présentée quant à sa mise en œuvre, ni que la question est entièrement réglée, entre autre pour la rédaction inclusive ou épicène. Ce texte propose un historique récent de la féminisation des titres et des textes au Québec en portant attention aux éléments qui ont soulevé des débats ou posé des défis. Il expose la manière dont le besoin de féminisation s’est fait ressentir, les propositions ou les avis publiés par les instances officielles, et les réactions à ces propositions. L’étude se termine par une incursion auprès de propositions récentes plus radicales, soit la règle de proximité et la création d’un 3e pronom personnel.

description: Data on transient events, like GRBs, are often contained in large databases of unstructured data from space experiments, merged with potentially large amount of background or simply undesired information. We present a computational formal model to apply techniques of modern computer science -such as Data Mining (DM) and Knowledge Discovering in Databases (KDD)- to a generic, large database derived from a high energy astrophysics experiment. This method is aimed to search, identify and extract expected information, and maybe to discover unexpected information .

title: Le genre altéritaire et la construction d’épicènes
Creators: name: Pradalier, Nicole
Publisher: name: Savoirs en prisme
Year: 2019

description: Dans une langue structurée par le féminin autant que par le masculin, le constat est fait d’un déficit informationnel du masculin généralisateur. La langue est alors amputée de sa fonction essentielle de communication. L’apparition du point médian, comme signe graphique qui permet la reconnaissance simultanée des deux genres à l’écrit, est un début de remédiation au problème. Ce point médian, nommé « point de l’altérité » parce qu’il permet la reconnaissance de l’autre, ouvre de nouvelles perspectives à l’oral. Il crée enfin le « genre altéritaire », fait de formes épicènes à consonances féminines, lesquelles nécessitent l’introduction de nouveaux déterminants et de nouveaux pronoms épicènes. L’article présente les étapes de cette recherche à travers un parcours qui va d’une écriture journalistique associative à une écriture de fiction, en passant par une écriture universitaire.

description: Hamiltonian moments in Fourier space - expectation values of the unitary evolution operator under a Hamiltonian at different times - provide a convenient framework to understand quantum systems. They offer insights into the energy distribution, higher-order dynamics, response functions, correlation information and physical properties. This paper focuses on the computation of Fourier moments within the context of a nuclear effective field theory on superconducting quantum hardware. The study integrates echo verification and noise renormalization into Hadamard tests using control reversal gates. These techniques, combined with purification and error suppression methods, effectively address quantum hardware decoherence. The analysis, conducted using noise models, reveals a significant reduction in noise strength by two orders of magnitude. Moreover, quantum circuits involving up to 266 CNOT gates over five qubits demonstrate high accuracy under these methodologies when run on IBM superconducting quantum devices.

description: This study elicits preferences for multimedia in the classroom for students and faculty members in agricultural economics. Employing an Internet-based conjoint ranking survey, the results show that students prefer multimedia instructional tools over a traditional chalkboard/whiteboard lecture format while faculty members do not. Neither students nor faculty members are enthusiastic about electronic textbooks, and students will accept them only if they save $80. Finally, preferences for multimedia are shown to differ with students who self-report differing note-taking abilities, preferences for chalkboard lectures, and the need for an engaging class. Successful multimedia adoption requires appropriate use and lowering costs for students.

description: We present ten new ultra-cool dwarfs in seven wide binary systems discovered using $\textit{Gaia}$ DR2 data, identified as part of our $\textit{Gaia}$ Ultra-Cool Dwarf Sample project. The seven systems presented here include an L1 companion to the G5 IV star HD 164507, an L1: companion to the V478 Lyr AB system, an L2 companion to the metal-poor K5 V star CD-28 8692, an M9 V companion to the young variable K0 V star LT UMa, and three low-mass binaries consisting of late Ms and early Ls. The HD 164507, CD-28 8692, V478 Lyr, and LT UMa systems are particularly important benchmarks, because the primaries are well characterised and offer excellent constraints on the atmospheric parameters and ages of the companions. We find that the M8 V star 2MASS J23253550+4608163 is $\sim$2.5 mag overluminous compared to M dwarfs of similar spectral type, but at the same time it does not exhibit obvious peculiarities in its near-infrared spectrum. Its overluminosity cannot be explained by unresolved binarity alone. Finally, we present an L1+L2 system with a projected physical separation of 959 au, making this the widest L+L binary currently known.

description: Based on new developments in the understanding of supernovae (SNe) as gravitational-wave (GW) sources we estimate the GW background from all cosmic SNe. For a broad range of frequencies around 1 Hz, this background is crudely comparable to the GW background expected from standard inflationary models. While our estimate remains uncertain within several orders of magnitude, the SN GW background may become detectable by second-generation space-based interferometers such as the proposed Big-Bang Observatory (BBO). By the same token, the SN GWs may become a foreground for searches of the inflationary GWs, in particular for sub-Hz frequencies where the SN background is Gaussian and where the BBO will be most sensitive. SN simulations lasting far beyond the usual cutoff of about 1 second are needed for more robust predictions in the sub-Hz frequency band. An even larger GW background can arise from a hypothetical early population of massive stars, although their GW source strength as well as their abundance are currently poorly understood.

title: Traduction du langage inclusif et échanges entre le français et l’italien
Creators: name: Sofo, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Savoirs en prisme
Year: 2019

description: Cet article propose une étude comparée des formes du langage inclusif développées dans les langues française et italienne et tente d’ouvrir le champ à une réflexion sur la traduction de l’écriture inclusive que nous estimons nécessaire afin d’offrir des outils pour un langage de plus en plus inclusif en français et en italien. La règle de la grammaire traditionnelle qui voit le masculin « l’emporter » sur le féminin est commune aux deux langues, de même que dans ces deux environnements linguistiques est présente une réflexion sur les stratégies à adopter pour remédier à cette règle, même si le français et l’italien n’admettent pas – ou bien ne suggèrent pas – les mêmes solutions. Le fait que l’écriture inclusive ait pris dans les deux langues des formes non seulement différentes, parfois même opposées, en raison de sensibilités différentes quant aux mêmes questions et de réalités linguistiques qui favorisent une solution plutôt que l’autre nous oblige à nous poser plusieurs questions. Il faut d’abord comprendre quelles sont les différences entres les stratégies d’inclusivité utilisées dans les deux langues et en comprendre les raisons, pour passer à une discussion sur les difficultés que ces différences présentent en traduction du point de vue théorique, puis à une proposition de directions à suivre ou à éviter dans la pratique de la traduction.

Stochastic storage models and noise-induced phase transitions

description: The most frequently used in physical application diffusive (based on the Fokker-Planck equation) model leans upon the assumption of small jumps of a macroscopic variable for each given realization of the stochastic process. This imposes restrictions on the description of the phase transition problem where the system is to overcome some finite potential barrier, or systems with finite size where the fluctuations are comparable with the size of a system. We suggest a complementary stochastic description of physical systems based on the mathematical stochastic storage model with basic notions of random input and output into a system. It reproduces statistical distributions typical for noise-induced phase transitions (e.g. Verhulst model) for the simplest (up to linear) forms of the escape function. We consider a generalization of the stochastic model based on the series development of the kinetic potential. On the contrast to Gaussian processes in which the development in series over a small parameter characterizing the jump value is assumed [Stratonovich R.L., Nonlinear Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics, Springer Series in Synergetics, vol.59, Springer Verlag, 1994], we propose a series expansion directly suitable for storage models and introduce the kinetic potential generalizing them.
