description: Temperature-dependent Brillouin scattering studies have been carried out on La_{0.77}Ca_{0.23}MnO_3 across the paramagnetic insulator - ferromagnetic metal (I-M) transition. The spectra show a surface Rayleigh wave (SRW) and a high velocity pseudo surface acoustic wave (HVPSAW) besides bulk acoustic waves (BAW). The Brillouin shifts associated with SRW and HVPSAW show blue-shifts, where as the frequencies of the BAW decrease below the I-M transition temperature (T_C) of 230 K. These results can be understood based on the temperature dependence of the elastic constants. We also observe a central peak whose width is maximum at T_C.

A critical analysis of women’s educational leadership in China
Creators: name: Jiang, Shuying
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Leadership and administrative roles have long been associated with the male gender. Despite the fact that the number of female leaders has increased more than before, women are still underrepresented in higher leadership positions. The topic of women leadership has brought about the concerns of gender equality and social justice, women and the feminist movement, and women leadership styles. Burns’s (1978) research on leadership argued that “leadership is one of the most observed and least understood phenomena on earth” (p.236). Research on women in leadership roles in many countries, especially in China, raised more questions than answers as to how these women lead and what influences culture and society may have on their leadership styles. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between culture, gender, and women’s leadership styles in Mainland, China. This may provide insight on the influence of societal culture and gender stereotypes on women’s leadership and leadership styles of Chinese women leaders. It also sheds light on the educational leadership experiences of Chinese women leaders, highlighting the barriers, challenges and possibilities they have met on their journey to leadership positions. The key findings of this study is threefold. Firstly, obvious stereotypical or non-stereotypical differences of Chinese male and female leaders reflect that they could combine leadership styles of both genders according to different institutional needs and conditions. This suggests that although school leaders’ leadership styles and strategies are influenced by early socializations, they could choose to re-socialize into values and norms according to their schools’ expect. Secondly, the role of culture works as an extra-gender force in shaping women leadership practices and preferences. In these male-II dominated societies, cultures work as two contrasting roles in shaping the relationship between gender and leadership. On the one hand, culture could maintain the traditionally perceived gender differences between men and women. On the other hand, culture exerts stronger influences on certain leadership practices than gender-stereotypical ones. Thirdly, when it comes to the effects of gender factors on leadership, despite the efforts of nationwide ideological and political movements, and the legal means to advocate gender equality since the 1980s, two traditional gender stereotypes including males’ superiority over females, and the separation of male and female social roles have still persisted in contemporary Chinese culture.

description: In this work, a novel approach is proposed for joint analysis of high dimensional time-resolved cardiac motion features obtained from segmented cardiac MRI and low dimensional clinical risk factors to improve survival prediction in heart failure. Different methods are evaluated to find the optimal way to insert conventional covariates into deep prediction networks. Correlation analysis between autoencoder latent codes and covariate features is used to examine how these predictors interact. We believe that similar approaches could also be used to introduce knowledge of genetic variants to such survival networks to improve outcome prediction by jointly analysing cardiac motion traits with inheritable risk factors.

description: Agrarian sector is at the centre of reforms because, Uzbekistan entered to the market economy as the agrarian-industrial country. As the results of reforms, 99% of agrarian product is made by non-governmental enterprises. Now, farms and household sector became the leading sector and the service infrastructure for them is also developing. It is recommended that, in future, should be taken in care not the quantity of infrastructural enterprises, but their competence and the ability of adaptation. It is important, that, these infrastructural enterprises must also serve small farms and households, too. Coverage of all farms and households helps to be more effective.

description: Machine learning software applications are nowadays ubiquitous in many fields of science and society for their outstanding capability of solving computationally vast problems like the recognition of patterns and regularities in big datasets. One of the main goals of research is the realization of a physical neural network able to perform data processing in a much faster and energy-efficient way than the state-of-the-art technology. Here we show that lattices of exciton-polariton condensates accomplish neuromorphic computing using fast optical nonlinearities and with lower error rate than any previous hardware implementation. We demonstrate that our neural network significantly increases the recognition efficiency compared to the linear classification algorithms on one of the most widely used benchmarks, the MNIST problem, showing a concrete advantage from the integration of optical systems in reservoir computing architectures.

description: The functioning of defined benefit plans is a subject to strictly legal regulations related to achieving and maintaining actuarial balance to ensure the security of promised pension payments. The risk control process relating to the management of portfolio risk in order to provide appropriate relationship of assets and liabilities ("asset liability matching") may be included in modern techniques that are based on stochastic linear programming. The problem of managing assets and liabilities of the pension fund is a dynamic decision that is made in the fullness of uncertain parameters. Asset management includes the decision on the structure of the portfolio (yield of various financial instruments is uncertain), while liabilities which consists of the future payment of a pension depends on the actual current market value of these instruments.
Growth of epitaxial nanowires by controlled coarsening of strained islands
Creators: name: Shenoy, V. B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that elongated nanowires can be grown on crystal surfaces by allowing large strained two-dimensional islands to desorb by varying the adatom supersaturation or chemical potential. The width of the wires formed in this process is determined by a competition between the repulsive elastic interactions of the long edges of the wires and the thermodynamic driving force which tends to decrease the distance between these edges. The proposed mechanism allows for control of the wire sizes by changing the growth conditions, in particular, the vapor pressure of the material that is being deposited.

description: We demonstrate the existence of quantum droplets in two-component one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard chains. The droplets exist for any strength of repulsive intra-species interactions provided they are balanced by comparable attractive inter-species interactions. The ground-state phase diagram is presented and the different phases are characterized by examining the density profile and off-diagonal one- and two-body correlation functions. A rich variety of phases is found, including atomic superfluid gases, atomic superfluid droplets, pair superfluid droplets, pair superfluid gases and a Mott-insulator phase. A parameter region prone to be experimentally explored is identified, where the average population per site is lower than three atoms, thus avoiding three-body losses. Finally, the bipartite entanglement of the droplets is found to have a non-trivial dependence on the number of particles.

description: A simply connected topological space X has homotopy Lie algebra $π_*(ΩX) \tensor \Q$. Following Quillen, there is a connected differential graded free Lie algebra (dgL) called a Lie model, which determines the rational homotopy type of X, and whose homology is isomorphic to the homotopy Lie algebra. We show that such a Lie model can be replaced with one that has a special property we call separated. The homology of a separated dgL has a particular form which lends itself to calculations.

description: The ballistic conductance of a coupled $T$-shaped semiconductor quantum wire (CTQW) are studied. Two types of CTQW are considered, one of which is a $Π$-shaped quantum wire ($Π$QW) which consists of two transverse wires on the same side of the main wire and the other a $Π$-clone quantum wire ($Π$CQW) which consists of two transverse wires on the opposite sides of the main wire. The mode matching method and Landauer-Buttiker theory are employed to study the energy dependence of the ballistic conductance. Most of transmission profiles of $Π$QW and $Π$CQW are found to be distinguishable for large separation $d$ between the two transverse arms. The transmission probability manifests oscillatory behavior when $d$ is increased. When a potential is added to the connection region, it results in decoupling or coupling effects between the two T-shaped wires according to whether it is positive or negative. When magnetic fields are applied to CTQW, the transmission profiles are found to be affected profoundly even if the electrons pass through the field free region only.

description: This paper develops a comprehensive pollution index based on EPA (2009) methodologies, which contrasts with previous studies that rely on partial measures based only on surplus nitrogen stemming from the over-application of fertilizer. Second, it uses a directional output distance function on a Bayesian framework, to generate empirical estimates of the economic impact associated with hypothetical environmental regulations in the dairy sector. Results indicate that on average, values of foregone output following regulatory intervention lead to revenue losses ranging from 1.8% to 13.1% across different regions between 1978 and 2007.

description: The chemical speciation of nanoparticles is technically challenging because of the minute mass of the particles. There is a constant need for more sensitive collection methods and chemical analyses. In this study, we demonstrated the applicability of a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique on the rapid and sensitive chemical analysis of individual nanoparticles. SERS technique provides a significant enhancement of the scattering efficiency over traditional Raman spectroscopy. The novelty of the proposed technique is that the SERS substrate is used directly as the sampling substrate of a condensational growth tube (CGT) sampler, which can activate nanoparticles into water droplets and ensure simultaneous inertial sampling and SERS pretreatment. First, we investigated applicability of the method on mono-dispersed (20 nm, 50 nm, or 100 nm) ammonium sulfate (AS) and levoglucosan (LG) particles as model aerosols. The method was then applied to ambient nanoparticles. The successful detection of peaks corresponding to sulfate ν(SO42-) and organics ν(C-H) indicates that our proposed method to combine a CGT sampler and SERS showed a sensitivity high enough to provide deep insights into the chemical speciation of atmospheric nanoparticles as small as 20 nm in diameter.

description: We combined steady-state photoconductivity and laser-induced transient current measurements under above-band-gap illumination to study the space charge formation in CdZnTe. Analytical as well as numerical models describing space charge limited photocurrents were developed and an excellent agreement with measured data was obtained especially with the Drift-diffusion model. Linear rise of photocurrent at low bias was observed and ascribed to the trapping of injected holes at the region close to the cathode side. Influence of space charge formation, photoconductive gain, contribution of shallow and deep levels to photocurrent-voltage characteristics were numerically simulated. According to the measurements and calculations, recent principles used at the evaluation of detector properties, mainly the mobility-lifetime product, via the photoconductivity are critically assessed.

description: Machine learning (automated processes that learn by example in order to classify, predict, discover or generate new data) and artificial intelligence (methods by which a computer makes decisions or discoveries that would usually require human intelligence) are now firmly established in astronomy. Every week, new applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence are added to a growing corpus of work. Random forests, support vector machines, and neural networks (artificial, deep, and convolutional) are now having a genuine impact for applications as diverse as discovering extrasolar planets, transient objects, quasars, and gravitationally-lensed systems, forecasting solar activity, and distinguishing between signals and instrumental effects in gravitational wave astronomy. This review surveys contemporary, published literature on machine learning and artificial intelligence in astronomy and astrophysics. Applications span seven main categories of activity: classification, regression, clustering, forecasting, generation, discovery, and the development of new scientific insight. These categories form the basis of a hierarchy of maturity, as the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence emerges, progresses or becomes established.

description: This paper employs a novel identification strategy based on changes in the route students would use to commute between their home and their school as they transition to higher grades housed in different schools to investigate the effect of fast-food availability on childhood weight outcomes by gender, race and location. Using a longitudinal census of height and weight for public school students in Arkansas, we find no evidence that changes in fast-food exposure are associated with changes in BMI z-score. Our findings suggest that laws restricting fast-food restaurants from areas near schools are neither effective nor efficient means of improving public health.
Aerodynamic Data Fusion Towards the Digital Twin Paradigm

description: We consider the fusion of two aerodynamic data sets originating from differing fidelity physical or computer experiments. We specifically address the fusion of: 1) noisy and in-complete fields from wind tunnel measurements and 2) deterministic but biased fields from numerical simulations. These two data sources are fused in order to estimate the \emph{true} field that best matches measured quantities that serves as the ground truth. For example, two sources of pressure fields about an aircraft are fused based on measured forces and moments from a wind-tunnel experiment. A fundamental challenge in this problem is that the true field is unknown and can not be estimated with 100\% certainty. We employ a Bayesian framework to infer the true fields conditioned on measured quantities of interest; essentially we perform a \emph{statistical correction} to the data. The fused data may then be used to construct more accurate surrogate models suitable for early stages of aerospace design. We also introduce an extension of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition with constraints to solve the same problem. Both methods are demonstrated on fusing the pressure distributions for flow past the RAE2822 airfoil and the Common Research Model wing at transonic conditions. Comparison of both methods reveal that the Bayesian method is more robust when data is scarce while capable of also accounting for uncertainties in the data. Furthermore, given adequate data, the POD based and Bayesian approaches lead to \emph{similar} results.

description: The present review is devoted to the problems of finite-size scaling due to the presence of long-range interaction decaying at large distance as $1/r^{d+σ}$, $σ>0$. The attention is focused mainly on the renormalization group results in the framework of ${\cal O}(n)$ $ϕ^{4}$ - theory for systems with fully finite (block) geometry under periodic boundary conditions. Some bulk critical properties and Monte Carlo results also are reviewed. The role of the cutoff effects as well their relation with those originating from the long-range interaction is also discussed. Special attention is paid to the description of the adequate mathematical technique that allows to treat the long-range and short-range interactions on equal ground. The review closes with short discussion of some open problems.

As a settler-educator working within contexts of Indigenous education I continue to undertake what Paulette Regan (2010) terms, a “journey of unsettling,” whereby I am growing to understand my privileged position in Canada’s colonial society. Through such, I have searched to understand my role and responsibilities in the contexts I’ve lived and worked, and what that means for myself and others in Canada’s education system moving forward. Using Tribal Critical Race Theory, anti-race theory, and decolonizing pedagogy as theory, my research (autoethnography) examines concepts of reconciliation, sovereignty and self-determination, culturally responsive schooling (CRS), and allyship while exploring what reconciliation means for non-Indigenous educators; why non-Indigenous educators should be concerned with reconciliation; and how Canadian educators can help to build an authentic vision of reconciliation? To do such, we must understand the context of reconciliation in Canada, and the issues which surround it. This paper aims to address such questions from my perspective, as a white settler-educator involved in contexts of Indigenous education.

description: We report the first efficient trapping of rare-earth Yb atoms with a high-power violet laser diode (LD). An injection-locked violet LD with a 25 mW frequency-stabilized output was used for the magneto-optical trapping (MOT) of fermionic as well as bosonic Yb isotopes. A typical number of $4\times 10^6$ atoms for $^{174}$Yb with a trap density of $\sim 1\times10^8/$cm$^3$ was obtained. A 10 mW violet external-cavity LD (ECLD) was used for the one-dimensional (1D) slowing of an effusive Yb atomic beam without a Zeeman slower resulting in a 35-fold increase in the number of trapped atoms. The overall characteristics of our compact violet MOT, e.g., the loss time of 1 s, the loading time of 400 ms, and the cloud temperature of 0.7 mK, are comparable to those in previously reported violet Yb MOTs, yet with a greatly reduced cost and complexity of the experiment.

A phenomenological analysis of the longitudinal structure function at small $x$ and low $Q^2$

description: The longitudinal structure function in deep inelastic scattering is one of the observables from which the gluon distribution can be unfolded. Consequently, this observable can be used to constrain the QCD dynamics at small $x$. In this work we compare the predictions of distinct QCD models with the recent experimental results for $F_L(x,Q^2)$ at small $x$ and low $Q^2$ obtained by the H1 collaboration. We focus mainly on the color dipole approach, selecting those models which include saturation effects. Such models are suitable at this kinematical region and also resum a wide class of higher twist contributions to the observables. Therefore, we investigate the influence of these corrections to $F_L$ in the present region of interest.

Approaches to Support Ventricular Assist Device Patients in the Community : a Scoping Review
Creators: name: Bagtas, Ninianne Alexis
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are internally implanted mechanical circulatory pumps designed to augment cardiac function in patients with end-stage heart failure. These devices offer significant improvements in mortality and quality of life when compared to medical management alone. However the complexities of the device require specialized management even when patients are discharged from hospital. In response mechanical circulatory support (MCS) centres have developed a number of approaches to support patients living in the community along with their caregivers and community healthcare providers. However the nature and effectiveness of these approaches are unclear. A five-stage scoping review was conducted to identify the range, characteristics, and effectiveness of support approaches that have been reported. The theory of self-care of chronic illness was used to guide the analysis. CINAHL, PubMed/MEDLINE, the Web of Science, and Google Scholar were used to identify 17 studies. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they included a sample VAD patients, their caregivers, or their community healthcare providers, included an approach to outpatient care, and were delivered outside of the MCS centre. Seven themes were identified. MCS team support, close surveillance, resource provision, community provider as support, provider training, peer support, and educating family and friends represent the range of community support approaches reported in the literature. The principles of MCS centres as hubs of support, emergency preparedness, and the use of novel technologies characterize these approaches. These themes offer nurses and other MCS clinicians a catalogue of approaches to support the self-care of these patients in the community, as well as potential inspiration for the development and study of future community support initiatives for VAD patients, their families, and their community healthcare providers.

description: We use a new version of the reversible Parking Lot Model to study the compaction of vibrated polydisperse media. The particle sizes are distributed according to a truncated power law. We introduce a self-consistent desorption mechanism with a hierarchical initialization of the system. In this way, we approach densities close to unity. The final density depends on the polydispersity of the system as well as on the initialization and will reach a maximum value for a certain exponent in the power law.

description: The chemical speciation of nanoparticles is technically challenging because of the minute mass of the particles. There is a constant need for more sensitive collection methods and chemical analyses. In this study, we demonstrated the applicability of a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique on the rapid and sensitive chemical analysis of individual nanoparticles. SERS technique provides a significant enhancement of the scattering efficiency over traditional Raman spectroscopy. The novelty of the proposed technique is that the SERS substrate is used directly as the sampling substrate of a condensational growth tube (CGT) sampler, which can activate nanoparticles into water droplets and ensure simultaneous inertial sampling and SERS pre-treatment. First, we investigated applicability of the method on mono-dispersed (20 nm, 50 nm, or 100 nm) ammonium sulfate (AS) and levoglucosan (LG) particles as model aerosols. The method was then applied to ambient nanoparticles. The successful detection of peaks corresponding to sulfate ν(SO42-) and organics ν(C-H) indicates that our proposed method to combine a CGT sampler and SERS showed a sensitivity high enough to provide deep insights into the chemical speciation of atmospheric nanoparticles as small as 20 nm in diameter.
