description: This paper focuses upon the community engagement of young people growing up in socio-economically disadvantaged areas and the creation of apt civic learning spaces. It is in direct response to public policy within the UK, as in many other democratic countries, giving continued attention to how young people’s active citizenship can be best supported. As a consequence of processes of globalisation, social change and technological advancement it is being increasingly recognised that young citizens face unprecedented challenges in the 21st century. At the same time young people growing up within areas of socio-economic disadvantage are commonly identified as being most at risk of social exclusion and discouragement with regard to their civic participation. This paper draws from the EngagED research project, a two-year study based in England that used a mixed methods approach to explore the civic action and learning of young people living in both inner city and rural areas of socio-economic disadvantage. It presents an eco-systemic model of the host of factors and agencies that influence young people’s civic identity and patterns of community engagement. It outlines two new civic learning spaces that were created in response to these complex ecologies and from these experiments in ‘pre-figurative practice’ proposes a set of key principles for the effective civic pedagogue. This radical notion of the civic educator moves away from educational strategies that seek to ‘transform’ young people into good future citizens, towards finding personalised ways of supporting young people ‘as’ citizens.

description: There are different versions of collisions of two particles near black holes with unbound energy $E_{c.m.}$ in the centre of mass frame. The so-called BSW effect arises when a slow fine-tuned "critical" particle hits a rapid "usual" one. We discuss a scenario of collision in the strong magnetic field for which explanation tuns out to be different. Both particles are rapid but the nonzero angle between their velocities (which are both close to $c$, the speed of light) results in a relative velocity close to $c$ and, hence, big $% E_{c.m.}

description: This report summarizes the discussions during two virtual meetings with different stakeholders with interest in the Barents Sea and off-Greenland ecosystems, respectively. The meetings were based on the work from Task 6.8 “Demonstrations for fisheries and environmental management agencies” and Task 6.2. “Improved ecosystem understanding and management”. Stakeholders represented a broad specter of marine- and maritime-related authorities in Norway, Greenland and Denmark, the fishing industry, the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) working group of the Arctic Council, Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, INTAROS partners and participants from other EU projects. The presentations of the monitoring and model results were refined and angled to be of relevance and use for the participating stakeholders. The stakeholders were in general interested in the approach, results, and conclusions. The discussion made it clear that as users in charge of sectorial human activity management, they valued scientific testing and suggestions for improving ecosystem understanding. They recommended that the next step could be to look at not only national data set indicators, but also relate those to an Arctic international setting. The Norwegian Environmental Agency suggested that a climate approach would be useful also for the Barents Sea. Likewise, the more complex food web indicators presented for the Barents Sea could be useful to apply to the Greenland coastal system. Stakeholders from both geographic areas emphasized that data from long-term monitoring of key variables is important for their work and that models can be useful as supporting information on indicators and future scenarios if the model uncertainty is assessed and explained. These seminars highlight the importance of inviting stakeholders responsible for all sectors of marine-related human activities to dialogues on research and monitoring of the climate, natural resources and ecosystems. In a fast-changing scientific world, with an increasing amount of knowledge, it is important to make available, timely and in the right format, the best possible information.

description: Current and future imaging surveys will measure cosmic shear with statistical precision that demands a deeper understanding of potential systematic biases in galaxy shape measurements than has been achieved to date. We use analytic and computational techniques to study the impact on shape measurements of two atmospheric chromatic effects for ground-based surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST): (i) atmospheric differential chromatic refraction and (ii) wavelength dependence of seeing. We investigate the effects of using the point spread function (PSF) measured with stars to determine the shapes of galaxies that have different spectral energy distributions than the stars. We find that both chromatic effects lead to significant biases in galaxy shape measurements for current and future surveys, if not corrected. Using simulated galaxy images, we find a form of chromatic `model bias' that arises when fitting a galaxy image with a model that has been convolved with a stellar, instead of galactic, point spread function. We show that both forms of atmospheric chromatic biases can be predicted (and corrected) with minimal model bias by applying an ordered set of perturbative PSF-level corrections based on machine-learning techniques applied to six-band photometry. Catalog-level corrections do not address the model bias. We conclude that achieving the ultimate precision for weak lensing from current and future ground-based imaging surveys requires a detailed understanding of the wavelength dependence of the PSF from the atmosphere, and from other sources such as optics and sensors.

Education for Democracy: A Paper Promise? The Democratic Deficit in Finnish Educational Culture

Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2012

description: This article presents one way of changing the participatory culture of training teachers – the Critical Integrative Teacher Education (CITE) programme now being implemented at Jyväskylä University. For the last ten years the Finnish school system has been the centre of considerable international attention because of its success in PISA. The Finnish school, however, has two faces. In the shadow of those good learning outcomes there lurks a democratic deficit in school and a lack of school wellbeing amongst children. This article examines the nature of the Finnish school and teacher education from the perspective of democracy. If participatory culture in Finnish schools is restricted, then the same also applies to teacher education. The long tradition of education as well as the radical school democracy experiment in the early 1970s resulted in the neutralization of teacher education and the removal of politics and politicality. This led to a teacher education with the emphasis on didactics and psychology but with a social viewpoint conspicuous by its absence. Even though the system offers opportunities to implement even radically different training methods, there is little that is done differently.

description: Interactions are known to have dramatic effects on bosonic gases in one dimension (1D). Not only does the ground state transform from a condensate-like state to an effective Fermi sea, but new fundamental excitations, which do not have any higher-dimensional equivalents, are predicted to appear. In this work, we trace these elusive excitations via their effects on the dynamical structure factor of 1D strongly-interacting Bose gases at low temperature. An array of 1D Bose gases is obtained by loading a $^{87}$Rb condensate in a 2D lattice potential. The dynamical structure factor of the system is probed by energy deposition through low-momentum Bragg excitations. The experimental signals are compared to recent theoretical predictions for the dynamical structure factor of the Lieb-Liniger model at $T > 0$. Our results demonstrate that the main contribution to the spectral widths stems from the dynamics of the interaction-induced excitations in the gas, which cannot be described by the Luttinger liquid theory.

Year: 2015

description: This paper presents Story Squad: Stories of Substance, a community-based intervention for adolescent substance use prevention. This narrative-based design takes a person-centered approach to prevention and prioritizes the lived experiences and active involvement of young people in developing prevention messages. The article discusses concepts central to contemporary adolescent prevention initiatives, and describes their integration with elements of narrative therapy (NT) and digital storytelling (DST) as a means to engage typically hard to reach adolescents. As illustration, the author describes how Stories of Substance could be implemented within the context of a violence prevention agency.

description: Das Hauptziel dieser Forschungsarbeit liegt in der Darstellung der Arbeitsrealitäten von österreichischen Journalistinnen, die sich in atypischen Arbeitsverhältnissen befinden und aufgrund dieses Faktors auch von prekären Arbeitsverhältnissen bedroht sind. Der Fokus liegt auf Frauen im Feld, da sie trotz gleicher, beziehungsweise sogar teilweise höherer Bildung, noch immer den Großteil der Gruppe, die sich in atypischen Verhältnissen im Journalismus befindet, ausmacht. Des Weiteren soll dargelegt werden, wie sich diese Rahmenbedingungen auf ihre journalistische Arbeitsweise, sowie auf die berufliche Zukunftsplanung auswirkt. Theoretische Basis dafür bilden hauptsächlich Gesellschafts-, Prekariats- und Geschlechtertheorien. Die empirische Untersuchung umfasst zehn Leitfaden-Interviews, die mit Hilfe der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet wurden. Durch ein Dimensionsmodell zur Messung der Prekarisierung, das aus der Theorie abgeleitet wurde, konnte festgestellt werden, dass sich alle Befragten in einem prekären Arbeitsverhältnis befinden, wenn auch in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß. Des Weiteren wirkt sich die geschlechterbasierte Diskriminierung auf den unterschiedlichsten Ebenen auf die Arbeits- bzw. Lebensrealitäten der Befragten aus. Trotz dieser, teils niederschmetternden Rahmenbedingungen, sehen trotzdem alle Befragten ihre berufliche Zukunft im Feld des Journalismus.
description: The main objective of this paper is to present the working realities of Austrian female journalists who are in atypical employment and, due to this factor, are also threatened by precarious employment. The focus is on women in the field, as they still make up the majority of the group that finds itself in atypical conditions in journalism, despite having the same or even partly higher education. Furthermore, it will be explained how these general conditions affect their journalistic working methods as well as their professional future planning. Theoretical basis for this are mainly social and precarity theories as well as gender theories. The empirical study comprised ten guided interviews, which were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Through a dimensional model for measuring precariousness derived from theory, it was found that all interviewees are in precarious employment, albeit to varying degrees. Furthermore, gender-based discrimination affects the work or life realities of the respondents on a wide variety of levels. Despite these sometimes devastating conditions, all respondents nevertheless saw their professional future in the field of journalism.
The Power of Ideas. The Teaching of Economics and its Image of Man

description: Economics as a science not only investigates what is (as a positive science) and what should be (as a normative science), but influences, through its fundamental ideas, what facts and norms are recognized as such in society. This holds especially true for economic education. My article explains this thesis and elaborates, in particular, how this form of education stipulates a particular vision of human beings worldwide. First, I show how economics actively seeks to influence the inscription of the commonplace image of the human through economics education. Second, I discuss economics as a textbook science in Thomas Kuhn’s sense: as a science incapable of giving the students any plural or critical understanding of their self and the world. In the third step, I identify the essential features of the human image lying at the base of the economic curriculum; an image (so I argue), which splits society into mere cogs in the machine of the economy on the one side and omnipotent social engineers on the other side.

description: We present measurements of single-photon ionization time delays between valence electrons of argon and neon using a coincidence detection technique that allows for the simultaneous measurement of both species under identical conditions. Taking into account the chirp of the ionizing single attosecond pulse (attochirp) ensures that the clock of our measurement technique is started at the same time for both types of electrons, revealing with high accuracy and resolution energy-dependent time delays of a few tens of attoseconds. By comparing our results with theoretical predictions, we confirm that the so-called Wigner delay correctly describes single-photon ionization delays as long as atomic resonances can be neglected. Our data, however, also reveal that such resonances can greatly affect the measured delays beyond the simple Wigner picture.

description: Graphene plasmonics is a rapidly growing field with multiple potential applications. One of the standard ways to study plasmons in graphene is by fabricating an array of graphene nanoribbons where nanoribbon edges provide the efficient photon-plasmon coupling. We systematically analyze the problem of optical plasmonic response in such systems and demonstrate the purely geometric nature of the size quantization condition for graphene plasmons. Accurate numerical calculations allowed us to tabulate the universal geometric parameters of plasmon size quantization, which is expected to become useful in analysis of experimental data on plasmonic response of graphene nanoribbons. A simple analytical theory has also been developed which accurately reproduces all the qualitative features of optical plasmonic response of graphene nanoribbons.

Because bare-knuckled threats, outright lies, well-placed bribes, and well-resourced lobbyists happen among eight-yearolds without a savvy politician’s script. To any Chinese, this is the best material to review Chinese democracy. However, electoral politics is the system, but not the democracy itself. Similarly, the Chinese Electoral Law is the foundation of the Chinese political system, which does not mean democracy in reality. Therefore, it can be reviewed and adjusted to be more suitable for a better democracy.

New Theories and Practice in Social Studies in Japan: Is Citizenship Education the Aim of Social Studies as a School Subject?
Creators: name: Ikeno, Norio
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2012

description: This paper aims to introduce new theories and practice in Social Studies in Japan since the 1990s, to outline some trends and characteristics relating to the question ‘Is Citizenship Education the aim of Social Studies as a school subject?’ and to identify ‘Applied’ and ‘Academic’ Social Studies as two separate categories. The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sport, Science and Technology has long advocated the merits of Applied Social Studies, but recent trends have seen educational researchers and local education administrators actively supporting the reformation and promotion of Social Studies from an ‘applied’ perspective. Going even further, several schools and districts are so in favour of this development that Citizenship Education has been incorporated as a subject or topic into the school curriculum. However, defence of Academic Social Studies is also deeply rooted; its argument being that Social Studies means Social Sciences. According to this view, Geography, History and Civics (comprising politics, economics and sociology) are treated as distinct fields of Social Studies.

description: We present a theoretical analysis of the intensity autocorrelation for the spontaneous emission from a planar ensemble of self-assembled quantum dots. Using the quantum jump approach, we numerically simulate the evolution of the system and construct photon-photon delay time statistics that approximates the second order correlation function of the field. The form of this correlation function in the case of collective emission from a highly homogeneous ensemble qualitatively differs form that characterizing an ensemble of independent emitters (inhomogeneous ensemble of uncoupled dots). The signatures of collective emission in the intensity correlations are observed also in the case of an inhomogeneous but sufficiently strongly coupled ensemble. Thus, we show that the second order correlation function of the emitted field provides a sensitive test of cooperative effects.

description: Österreich ist ein Land mit ausgesprochen großer Biodiversität. Sie umfasst nicht nur die Artenvielfalt, sondern auch die genetische Vielfalt und die Diversität der Ökosysteme und ist für den Menschen durch ihre Ökosystemdienstleistungen von unschätzbarem Wert. Biodiversität ist aber, trotz verschiedener Initiativen zu ihrem Schutz, auch durch zahlreiche verschiedene Faktoren bedroht. Um auch jungen Menschen die Bedeutung der Biodiversität und ihren Umfang zu verdeutlichen wurde ein Workshop zu diesem Thema erstellt, der die Ressourcen des Botanischen Gartens der Universität Wien nutzt. Die Teilnehmer*innen werden dazu angeregt ihr Konzept von Biodiversität, das sich häufig auf die Artenvielfalt beschränkt, um die Ökosystemvielfalt zu erweitern. Ziel ist es hervorzuheben, dass nicht nur die Vielfalt der Arten, sondern auch der Ökosysteme und in kleinerem Rahmen der Lebensräume eine wichtige Rolle für die Biodiversität spielt und Bewusstsein für verschiedene Gefährdungsfaktoren zu schaffen.
description: Austria is a country with rich biodiversity. In addition to the diversity of species, biological diversity also includes genetic diversity and ecosystem diversity. It is of inestimable value due to the ecosystem services it provides to humanity. Despite various initiatives for its protection, biodiversity is under pressure from different drivers. A workshop was designed to show young people the significance of biodiversity and its scope, using the resources provided by the Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna. The participants are encouraged to expand their concept of biodiversity, which in many cases is limited to species diversity, by adding ecosystem diversity. The workshop aims to highlight that, in addition to species diversity, ecosystem diversity is a crucial part of biodiversity and to create awareness of different threats.

Symbolic Struggles in Advocating for Juveniles Sentenced to Life Without Parole
Creators: name: Berringer, Katie
Publisher: name: Unknown

description: This paper examines the history of Juvenile Life Without Parole sentencing, both at the state level in Illinois and at the federal level, with particular attention to the power of symbolic framing and to the continued importance of two dominant frames: the juvenile ‘super-predator’ and the child. Paying attention to the particular actions of state actors, this paper will investigate the central role that class and race have played in the symbolic construction of these tropes, in order to understand how state actors became the vehicles to translate class and race schemas into policy. Finally, it is my hope that this analysis will also inform the efforts of advocates—social workers, mitigation specialists, defense attorneys, and the families and communities of those serving natural life sentences—as they engage, challenge, and strategically take up the symbolic and material tools that have shaped this policymaking.

description: We present the first reported case of the simultaneous metallicity determination of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxy, from both afterglow absorption lines as well as strong emission-line diagnostics. Using spectroscopic and imaging observations of the afterglow and host of the long-duration Swift GRB121024A at z = 2.30, we give one of the most complete views of a GRB host/environment to date. We observe a strong damped Ly-alpha absorber (DLA) with a hydrogen column density of log N(HI) = 21.88 +/- 0.10, H2 absorption in the Lyman-Werner bands (molecular fraction of log(f)~ -1.4; fourth solid detection of molecular hydrogen in a GRB-DLA), the nebular emission lines H-alpha, H-beta, [O II], [O III] and [N II], as well as metal absorption lines. We find a GRB host galaxy that is highly star-forming (SFR ~ 40 solar masses/yr ), with a dust-corrected metallicity along the line of sight of [Zn/H]corr = -0.6 +/- 0.2 ([O/H] ~ -0.3 from emission lines), and a depletion factor [Zn/Fe] = 0.85 +/- 0.04. The molecular gas is separated by 400 km/s (and 1-3 kpc) from the gas that is photoexcited by the GRB. This implies a fairly massive host, in agreement with the derived stellar mass of log(M/M_solar ) = 9.9+/- 0.2. We dissect the host galaxy by characterising its molecular component, the excited gas, and the line-emitting star-forming regions. The extinction curve for the line of sight is found to be unusually flat (Rv ~15). We discuss the possibility of an anomalous grain size distributions. We furthermore discuss the different metallicity determinations from both absorption and emission lines, which gives consistent results for the line of sight to GRB 121024A.

Public Health and Human Rights in an Era of Epidemics
Creators: name: Rollinson, Ryan
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2015

description: This article explores the tension between individual human rights and the need to protect the public health. It focuses on the role of social workers, who have a moral and ethical responsibility to protect the human rights of the individuals with whom they work and to ensure that the public health of their communities is promoted. Drawing on examples from epidemics including Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis, the article suggests ways in which social workers can proactively engage individuals and communities in supporting public health while also ensuring that individual human rights are promoted.
Community and citizenship in post-disaster Japan
Creators: name: Parmenter, Lynne
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education

description: In March 2011, a triple earthquake-tsunami-nuclear disaster rocked north-eastern Japan. In this article, the impact of these three disasters on schools, teachers and children will be analysed, with a particular focus on the role of teachers in saving lives and leading communities, and the role of schools as sites and agents of community and citizenship in the disaster situation. The article is structured around four themes, namely, the role of school leaders and teachers, the role of schools as sites of community, changing media representations of children and communities in the wider national context, and the birth of global citizenship as a meaningful concept. Primary data from visits to schools in Miyagi Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture in Japan in July 2011 and December 2011 are combined with analysis of secondary sources written in Japanese to paint a clear picture of the different roles served by teachers and schools at different points in time during and after the disasters. This provides insights not only into post-disaster communities, but also into the role of teachers and function of schools as agents and sites of community and citizenship in Japanese society.

description: We demonstrate photon-noise limited performance at sub-millimeter wavelengths in feedhorn-coupled, microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) made of a TiN/Ti/TiN trilayer superconducting film, tuned to have a transition temperature of 1.4~K. Micro-machining of the silicon-on-insulator wafer backside creates a quarter-wavelength backshort optimized for efficient coupling at 250~\micron. Using frequency read out and when viewing a variable temperature blackbody source, we measure device noise consistent with photon noise when the incident optical power is $>$~0.5~pW, corresponding to noise equivalent powers $>$~3$\times 10^{-17}$ W/$\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$. This sensitivity makes these devices suitable for broadband photometric applications at these wavelengths.
Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Hyperbolic Systems based on Third-Order Compact WENO Reconstruction

description: In this paper we generalize to non-uniform grids of quad-tree type the Compact WENO reconstruction of Levy, Puppo and Russo (SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 2001), thus obtaining a truly two-dimensional non-oscillatory third order reconstruction with a very compact stencil and that does not involve mesh-dependent coefficients. This latter characteristic is quite valuable for its use in h-adaptive numerical schemes, since in such schemes the coefficients that depend on the disposition and sizes of the neighboring cells (and that are present in many existing WENO-like reconstructions) would need to be recomputed after every mesh adaption. In the second part of the paper we propose a third order h-adaptive scheme with the above-mentioned reconstruction, an explicit third order TVD Runge-Kutta scheme and the entropy production error indicator proposed by Puppo and Semplice (Commun. Comput. Phys., 2011). After devising some heuristics on the choice of the parameters controlling the mesh adaption, we demonstrate with many numerical tests that the scheme can compute numerical solution whose error decays as $\langle N\rangle^{-3}$, where $\langle N\rangle$ is the average number of cells used during the computation, even in the presence of shock waves, by making a very effective use of h-adaptivity and the proposed third order reconstruction.

Upper Entropy Axioms and Lower Entropy Axioms

description: The paper suggests the concepts of an upper entropy and a lower entropy. We propose a new axiomatic definition, namely, upper entropy axioms, inspired by axioms of metric spaces, and also formulate lower entropy axioms. We also develop weak upper entropy axioms and weak lower entropy axioms. Their conditions are weaker than those of Shannon-Khinchin axioms and Tsallis axioms, while these conditions are stronger than those of the axiomatics based on the first three Shannon-Khinchin axioms for superstatiscs. The expansibility, subadditivity and strong subadditivity of entropy are obtained in the new axiomatics. Tsallis statistics is a special case of the superstatistics which satisfies our axioms. Moreover, different forms of information measures, such as Shannon entropy, Daroczy entropy, Tsallis entropy and other entropies, can be unified under the same axiomatic framework.

Communities and others: Young peoples’ constructions of identities and citizenship in the Baltic countries
Creators: name: Ross, Alistair
Publisher: name: JSSE - Journal of Social Science Education
Year: 2012

description: This article explores how young people (aged 12 -18) in the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are constructing their identities, particularly their sense of attachment to their country and to Europe. This generation is of particular significance, in that they are the first generation for many years to have been born and socialised in independent states that are in a relatively peaceful and stable state. Data was collected through 22 focus groups, conducted in 10 different locations in the different states, and were analysed in terms of the degree of enthusiasm expressed for civic institutions and cultural practices related to the country and to Europe. Two particular areas were identified: the sense of generational difference and the ways in which different groups created ‘other’ communities, within and without their country’s borders. These parameters allow us to distinguish the significant communities that these young people are creating in order to make sense of their social and political worlds.

title: Und in meiner Welt geht's halt um die Knochen und nicht diese Spannung
Creators: name: Bergbauer, Sarah Anna
Year: 2022

description: Die Masterarbeit geht der Frage nach, wie Wissen, welches im Lernen und Lehren von Release Technique vermittelt und erlernt wird, beschaffen ist. Bei Release Technique handelt es sich um eine zeitgenössische Tanztechnik, welche sich durch einen ‚loslassenden‘ Zugang zum Körper auszeichnet – als ‚überflüssig‘ betrachtete, äußere Muskelanspannung soll lockergelassen werden, um durch den Einsatz von tieferen, knochennahen Muskeln einen flüssigeren Bewegungsablauf zu erlangen. Die Beschaffenheit des Wissens bezieht sich im Vorhaben nicht nur darauf, von welcher Art das Wissen ist oder worauf es sich bezieht, sondern auch wie damit umgegangen wird. Ausgehend von theoretischen Überlegungen zu ‚Wissen‘, ‚Erfahrung‘ und ‚Körper‘ stellt die Arbeit dar, wie Release Technique von 4 (angehenden) Tänzer*innen aufgefasst wird. Bei diesen handelt es sich sowohl um Lehrpersonen, welche einerseits angehende professionelle Tänzer*innen, andererseits auch Laien unterrichten, als auch Schüler*innen, welche Release sowohl aufgeschlossen als auch kritisch gegenüberstehen. Neben Interviews werden für die Analyse auch teilnehmende Beobachtungen, aufgezeichnete Unterrichtseinheiten sowie ein von einer Interviewpartner*in geführtes Tagebuch hinzugezogen. Die Erkenntnisse aus dem ersten, personenzentrierten Analyseschritt, werden schließlich miteinander in Verbindung gebracht und es wird herausgearbeitet, welche Wissensbestände im Feld von Release Technique angesiedelt sind, wie über Release-spezifisches Wissen reflektiert wird und wie dieses Wissen vor dem Hintergrund der theoretischen und konzeptionellen Rahmung beschrieben werden kann. Im Fazit wird ein kritischer Blick auf Release Technique gelegt und umrissen, wie sich Release Ansätze gesellschaftlich einordnen lassen.

description: We have experimentally identified fractional quasiparticle creation in a tunneling process through a local fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state. The local FQH state is prepared in a low-density region near a quantum point contact (QPC) in an integer quantum Hall (IQH) system. Shot-noise measurements reveal a clear transition from elementary-charge tunneling at low bias to fractional-charge tunneling at high bias. The fractional shot noise is proportional to T1(1 ? T1) over a wide range of T1, where T1 is the transmission probability of the IQH edge channel. This binomial distribution indicates that fractional quasiparticles emerge from the IQH state to be transmitted through the local FQH state. The study of this tunneling process will enable us to elucidate the dynamics of Laughlin quasiparticles in FQH systems.
