description: Silicon is a leading candidate material for spin-based devices, and two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) formed in silicon heterostructures have been proposed for both spin transport and quantum dot quantum computing applications. The key parameter for these applications is the spin relaxation time. Here we apply the theory of D'yakonov and Perel' (DP) to calculate the electron spin resonance linewidth of a silicon 2DEG due to structural inversion asymmetry for arbitrary static magnetic field direction at low temperatures. We estimate the Rashba spin-orbit coupling coefficient in silicon quantum wells and find the $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ times of the spins from this mechanism as a function of momentum scattering time, magnetic field, and device-specific parameters. We obtain agreement with existing data for the angular dependence of the relaxation times and show that the magnitudes are consistent with the DP mechanism. We suggest how to increase the relaxation times by appropriate device design.

description: By conceptualizing science learning through the bioecological systems theory, understanding science learning requires research investigating the person characteristics, proximal processes, and the context of students during a developmentally significant time. Preparing students with the knowledge and strategies to think critically about science requires an understanding of how the context in which they learn impacts learning. The current study investigated students’ (N = 39, Mage= 10.18 years, 58.97% Male) learning of a human anatomy concept through pages presented in either the verbal or visual modality and then assessed in both modalities. Investigation into the proximal processes of student interaction between the learning modality (verbal and visual) and assessment modality (verbal and visual) was conducted through examining the cognitive strategies used for students to translate across and within these modalities while also considering larger contexts of students’ socioeconomic and person characteristics. Analyses demonstrated a marginally significant (p<0.1) impact of students’ self-concept about their abilities in science, variations in frequency of cognitive strategies used when answering questions in varying modalities, and a significant interaction between socioeconomic status, learning modality, and assessment modality on science assessment score (p<0.05). Findings from this study suggest a critical and thorough investigation how we assess students’ science learning and reevaluate the often-found SES differences in student science achievement measures given the context of the modality of the measure.

description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ions are crucial intermediates in interstellar chemistry and may play a key role in the infrared emission features observed in space. Here, we investigate the infrared spectra of the indenyl (C$_9$H$_7^-$) and fluorenyl (C$_{13}$H$_9^-$) anions and the indenyl cation (C$_9$H$_7^+$) using infrared pre-dissociation (IRPD) spectroscopy. The experiments were performed in a cryogenic 22 pole ion trap at the FELion beamline of the tunable free-electron laser FELIX. Spectral analysis of the two anionic PAHs, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) computations, revealed key vibrational modes near 1300 cm$^{-1}$, making these ions potential carriers of the 7.7 μm PAH emission band seen in many astronomical objects. The feature-rich spectrum of cationic indenyl could not be entirely explained by modeling through time-independent anharmonic DFT calculations. Although a better match has been achieved through molecular dynamics simulations, we cannot completely rule out the presence of multiple cationic isomers of the H-loss fragments of indene in the experiments.

description: Conversational agents (CAs)—software systems emulating conversations with humans through natural language—reshape our communication environment. As CAs have been widely used for applications requiring human-like interactions, a key goal in information systems (IS) research and practice is to be able to create CAs that exhibit a particular personality. However, existing research on CA personality is scattered across different fields and researchers and practitioners face difficulty in understanding the current state of the art on the design of CA personality. To address this gap, we systematically analyze existing studies and develop a framework on how to imbue CAs with personality cues and how to organize the underlying range of expressive variation regarding the Big Five personality traits. Our framework contributes to IS research by providing an overview of CA personality cues in verbal and non-verbal language and supports practitioners in designing CAs with a particular personality.
Classical paths in systems of fermions

description: We implement in systems of fermions the formalism of pseudoclassical paths that we recently developed for systems of bosons and show that quantum states of fermionic fields can be described, in the Heisenberg picture, as linear combinations of randomly distributed paths that do not interfere between themselves and obey classical Dirac equations. Every physical observable is assigned a time-dependent value on each path in a way that respects the anticommutative algebra between quantum operators and we observe that these values on paths do not necessarily satisfy the usual algebraic relations between classical observables. We use these pseudoclassical paths to define the dynamics of quantum fluctuations in systems of fermions and show that, as we found for systems of bosons, the dynamics of fluctuations of a wide class of observables that we call "collective" observables can be approximately described in terms of classical stochastic concepts. Finally, we apply this formalism to describe the dynamics of local fluctuations of globally conserved fermion numbers.

Bitvectors with runs and the successor/predecessor problem
Creators: name: Gómez-Brandón, Adrián
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The successor and predecessor problem consists of obtaining the closest value in a set of integers, greater/smaller than a given value. This problem has interesting applications, like the intersection of inverted lists. It can be easily modeled by using a bitvector of size $n$ and its operations rank and select. However, there is a practical approach, which keeps the best theoretical bounds, and allows to solve successor and predecessor more efficiently. Based on that technique, we designed a novel compact data structure for bitvectors with $k$ runs that achieves access, rank, and successor/predecessor in $O(1)$ time by consuming space $O(\sqrt{kn})$ bits. In practice, it obtains a compression ratio of $0.04\%-26.33\%$ when the runs are larger than $100$, and becomes the fastest technique, which considers compressibility, in successor/predecessor queries. Besides, we present a recursive variant of our structure, which tends to $O(k)$ bits and takes $O(\log \frac{n}{k})$ time.

Developing a Transdiagnostic Mentalization Skills Module: A Waitlist Control Study
Creators: name: Barbieri, Vincent A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Mentalization, often operationalized as reflective functioning (RF), refers to a person’s capacity to understand the mental states of oneself and others (Bateman & Fonagy, 2012). While it has been widely researched that mentalization deficits exist in neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder (Baron-Cohen, 2000) and schizophrenia (Cotter et al., 2018; Savla et al., 2013), recent findings in the last decade have demonstrated deficits in a wide range of clinical disorders, most notably borderline personality disorder (BPD; Ghiassi et al, 2010; O’Neill et al., 2015) but also social phobia (Washburn et al., 2016), major depressive disorder (MDD; Dalili et al., 2015), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Nietlisbach & Maercker, 2009) and anorexia nervosa (Russell et al., 2009). While it is clear that mentalization deficits exist across a number of different psychopathologies, only recently has research attempted to study this relationship outside of BPD. Moreover, to date there is no research that directly demonstrates mentalization enhancement or establishes a causal link to psychosocial benefits of such enhancement related to interpersonal functioning. The present study attempted to fill these gaps in literature by creating a transdiagnostic mentalization module that aimed to directly enhance mentalization across a short four-week period using a self-guided, virtual online format. Using a waitlist control repeated measures design, 80 participants were randomized into the intervention (n = 40) or control condition (n =40), with mentalization and interpersonal dysfunction as the the primary outcome variables. Results demonstrated significant efficacy of the intervention (compared to the control condition) for mentalization enhancement with the RFQ uncertainty subscale at end of study (F1,77 = 5.68, p = .017) and maintained at 1 month follow-up (F1,77 = 5.88, p = .018), however, findings were nonsignificant for the other measures of mentalization as well as interpersonal distress. Exploratory analyses revealed significant interactions across conditions related to stress for mentalization enhancement for both the RFQ certainty subscale (F6,73 = 3.56, p = .01) and the RMET (F6,73 = 3.23, p = .01). Additionally, significant interactions were found across conditions for neuroticism and mentalization enhancement with the RFQ certainty subscale (F6,73 = 1.56, p = .03). Efficacy of the intervention was therefore partially demonstrated for mentalization enhancement but not for interpersonal distress. Future research is needed to replicate these findings of mentalization enhancement in a transdiagnostic intervention as well as establish a causal link to interpersonal distress reduction.

description: We develop the theory of Hopf bimodules for a finite rigid tensor category C. Then we use this theory to define a distinguished invertible object D of C and an isomorphism of tensor functors ?^{**} and D tensor ^{**}? tensor D^{-1}. This provides a categorical generalization of D. Radford's S^4-formula for finite dimensional Hopf algebras and its generalizations for weak Hopf algebras and for quasi-Hopf algebras, and conjectured in general in \cite{EO}. When C is braided, we establish a connection between the above isomorphism and the Drinfeld isomorphism of C. We also show that a factorizable braided tensor category is unimodular (i.e., D=1). Finally, we apply our theory to prove that the pivotalization of a fusion category is spherical, and give a purely algebraic characterization of exact module categories.

description: The present work focuses on the effect of reinforcing polymer with TiO2 and Al2O3 Nano-powders on itsthermal properties since they have many important thermal applications. The effect of adding such Nano-powders withdifferent particle percentages by weight (0.5%,1%, 1.5% and 2%) to the base material have been discussed.Different samples of the resulting Nano-composite materials have been prepared according to (ISO-220077) standard.Thermal properties of such samples have been evaluated by using hot disc technique and the results have beencompared with that of pure epoxy. The results show that the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity increase withincreasing weight fraction of reinforcing materials, and it becomes higher when the epoxy was reinforced by (Al2O3)rather than (TiO2) Nano powder. Also the results indicated that maximum values of thermal conductivity and diffusivityof the Nano-composite specimen reinforced by 2% (Al2O3) were (0.55W/m.K) & (0.45 mm2/Sec.) respectively. It has also shown that the heat capacity of the Nano-composite material decreases when the epoxy reinforced with Al2O3 and TiO2 Nano-powders with different weight fractions.

description: We report on the identification of the optical counterpart of the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1911-5958A, located in the outskirts of the globular cluster NGC 6752. At the position of the pulsar we find an object with V=22.08, B-V=0.38, U-B=-0.49. The object is blue with respect to the cluster main sequence by 0.8 magnitudes in B-V. We argue that the object is the white dwarf companion of the pulsar. Comparison with white dwarf cooling models shows that this magnitude and colors are consistent with a low-mass white dwarf at the distance of NGC 6752. If associated with NGC 6752, the white dwarf is relatively young, <2 Gyr, which sets constraints on the formation of the binary and its ejection from the core of the globular cluster.

Toward source region tomography with inter-source interferometry: Shear wave velocity from 2018 West Bohemia swarm earthquakes

Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)

description: The concept of seismic interferometry embraces the construction of waves traveling between receivers or sources with cross-correlation techniques. In the present study cross-correlations of coda waves are used to measure travel times of shear waves between earthquake locations for five event clusters of the 2018 West Bohemia earthquake swarm. With the help of a high quality earthquake catalog, I was able to determine the shear wave velocity in the region of the five clusters separately. The shear wave velocities range between 3.5 km/s and 4.2 km/s. The resolution of this novel method is given by the extent of the clusters and better than for a comparable classical tomography. It is suggested to use the method in a tomographic inversion and map the shear wave velocity in the source region with unprecedented resolution. Furthermore, the influence of focal mechanisms and the attenuation properties on the polarity and location of the maxima in the cross-correlation functions is discussed. The intra-cluster ratio of P wave to S wave velocity is approximately fixed at 1.68.

description: We study four-dimensional N=1 Spin(10) gauge theory with a single spinor and vectors at the superconformal fixed point via the electric-magnetic duality and a-maximization. When gauge invariant chiral primary operators hit the unitarity bounds, we find that the theory with no superpotential is identical to the one with some superpotential at the infrared fixed point. The auxiliary field method in the electric theory offers a satisfying description of the infrared fixed point, which is consistent with the better picture in the magnetic theory. In particular, it gives a clear description of the emergence of new massless degrees of freedom in the electric theory.

title: CRAFT, DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY IN ESSEX COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS: research into selected aspects of the structuring of the subject
Creators: name: Roerig, L.R
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1984

description: This research firstly locates the structuring of a subject in an historical perceptions. In its historical definition, the subject appears as Manual Training in the emerging systems of mass education in the nineteenth century. During the earlier part of the twentieth century it appears as Handicraft in the secondary schools and at the present times as Craft, Design and Technology in the comprehensive schools. The main body of the thesis then concerns itself with the ways in which the subject is distributed to pupils by the internal mechanisms of comprehensive schools. The sample of schools used is the ninety co-educational comprehensive schools of Essex. The research was carried out by visitation, interviews and questionnaires. The classification of pupils on intake directs them towards curricula which can be biased towards academic of practical subjects which include Craft, Design and Technology. Further separation of pupils during the second and third years, and the variable allocation of curriculum time contributes to the low status accorded to the subject. Attempts to include Craft, Design and Technology in a balanced curriculum in the Upper School are undermined by options systems. Procedures which remove the academically able pupils from the influence of Craft, Design and Technology also direct non-academic pupils to it. The subject has almost disappeared from the Sixth Form curriculum. This structuring of a school subject is placed against perceptions by Craft teachers of their situation inside the schools in relation to their assumptions about their subject, their earlier training, their control over redefinitions of the subject and the resources at their disposal.

Seismic deformations

description: A simplified procedure for the assessment of seismic deformations in earth structures and slopes is proposed. In this procedure, to model the dynamic response of earth structures, a single-degree-of freedom modal model is used. The effects of soil nonlinearity and the elasticity of the base rock foundation on computing permanent sliding displacements are considered. After reviewing previous studies, an analytical framework for calculating permanent sliding displacement is discussed. The proposed procedure is validated by comparing results from the proposed simplified procedure with those from more sophisticated analytical techniques. A favorable comparison was found between the simplified modal procedure and more sophisticated analyses, which provides good evidence of the suitability of the simplified procedure

description: We report the experimental and theoretical characterization of the angular-dependent spin dynamics in arrays of ferromagnetic nanodisks arranged on a honeycomb lattice. The magnetic field and microwave frequency dependence, measured by broadband ferromagnetic resonance, reveal a rich spectrum of modes that is strongly affected by the microstate of the network. Based on symmetry arguments with respect to the external field, we show that certain parts of the ferromagnetic network contribute to the detected signal. A comparison of the experimental data with micromagnetic simulations reveals that different subsections of the lattice predominantly contribute to the high-frequency response of the array. This is confirmed by optical characterizations using microfocused Brillouin light scattering. Furthermore, we find indications that nucleation and annihilation of vortex-like magnetization configurations in the low-field range affect the dynamics, which is different from clusters of ferromagnetic nanoellipses. Our work opens up new perspectives for designing magnonic devices that combine geometric frustration in gyrotropic vortex crystals at low frequencies with magnonic crystals at high frequencies.

description: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is used to study microvascular structure and tissue perfusion. In DCE-MRI a bolus of gadolinium based contrast agent is injected into the blood stream and spatiotemporal changes induced by the contrast agent flow are estimated from a time series of MRI data. Sufficient time resolution can often only be obtained by using an imaging protocol which produces undersampled data for each image in the time series. This has led to the popularity of compressed sensing based image reconstruction approaches, where all the images in the time series are reconstructed simultaneously, and temporal coupling between the images is introduced into the problem by a sparsity promoting regularization functional. We propose the use of Huber penalty for temporal regularization in DCE-MRI, and compare it to total variation, total generalized variation and smoothness based temporal regularization models. We also study the effect of spatial regularization to the reconstruction and compare the reconstruction accuracy with different temporal resolutions due to varying undersampling. The approaches are tested using simulated and experimental radial golden angle DCE-MRI data from a rat brain specimen. The results indicate that Huber regularization produces similar reconstruction accuracy with the total variation based models, but the computation times are significantly faster.

description: Witten has argued that charges of Type I D-branes in the presence of an H-flux, take values in twisted KO-theory. We begin with the study of real bundle gerbes and their holonomy. We then introduce the notion of real bundle gerbe KO-theory which we establish is a geometric realization of twisted KO-theory. We examine the relation with twisted K-theory, the Chern character and provide some examples. We conclude with some open problems.

title: Consumer product invention: some developmental, economic & consumer aspects
Creators: name: Barclay, George
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: This study of the British Bicycle and Domestic Radio Receiver industries produced a model of invention/product design having the following features: Invention depended mainly on the combined effect of three factors, each with changing significance over a three-stage life cycle. Technology Factor: Induced a cumulative sequence of inventions to improve product performance, of various origins (ideas, problems, techno-transfers or science). This factor most important in the first Incubation stage, of equal importance in second Early Growth stage and of incremental importance in final Mature stage. Economic Factor: Induced invention to suit market, mainly for cheaper, lower performance products but also for superlative models. This factor inoperative at Incubation stage, very important at Early Growth stage and important at Mature stage. Consumer Factor: Induced invention to make products more appealing to consumer; for simpler/automatic operation, greater reliability, accessories and new uses. This factor inoperative at Incubation stage, important at Early Growth stage and supremely important at Mature stage. Product life-cycle pattern a sequence of new models subsequently improved until an basic satisfactory design achieved, later incrementally improved. Empirical invention often systematic and as important as scientific invention; science often used to define design problem. Peak invention in Early Growth stage to explore all technical possibilities, design trade-offs and for market share. Invention and Demand: No direct and proportional relationship. Initial demand due to novelty appeal of function, subsequent rapid increased demand due to better technical product performance, lower product prices and increased income-related purchasing power. After market saturation demand declined despite better, sometimes radical, designs; as consumers sought other new products.

Naming God. Embodying freedom.
Creators: name: Cherry, Hazel M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The poems in the upcoming pages tell the story of a Black woman’s journey of leaving her conservative Christian community and discovering herself. Themes of childhood memory, love, loss, are interwoven. In these poems the reader will discover the interrogation of harmful beliefs fueled by white supremacy, respectability, and misogyny that led the author on a path to expanding her relationship to the Divine – one rooted in freedom, possibility, and acceptance. In four sections, an intergenerational exposition occurs for what it means to be black and woman, and a woman of faith. It is both declaration and lament, pain and pleasure, and in the end, is an invitation for other women to take their own journey to name God for themselves. Instead of silencing one’s experience it asks the question: what liberation can be found in “talking back” to God, in a way that only a Black woman could? In these pages the reader will discover theological inquiry, Black feminism, and a rebellion from conservative constructs in pursuit of freedom.
Correlated two-pion exchange and large-N(C) behavior of nuclear forces

description: The effect of correlated scalar-isoscalar two-pion exchange (CrTPE) modes is considered in connection with central and spin-orbit parts of the NN force. The two-pion correlation function is coupled directly to the scalar form factor of the nucleon which we calculate in the large-N(C) limit where the nucleon can be described as a soliton of an effective chiral theory. The results for the central NN force show a strong repulsive core at short internucleon distances supplemented by a moderate attraction beyond 1 fm. The long-range tail of the central NN potential is driven by the the pion-nucleon sigma term and consistent with the effective $σ$ meson exchange. The spin-orbit part of the NN potential is repulsive. The large-N(C) scaling behavior of the scalar-isoscalar NN interaction is addressed. We show that the spin-orbit part is O(1/N^2(C)) in strength relative to the central force resulting in the ratio $\simeq 1/9$ suggested by the 1/N(C) expansion for N(C)=3. The latter is in agreement with our numerical analysis and with the Kaplan-Manohar large-N(C) power counting. Unitarization of the $ππ$ scattering amplitude plays here an important role and improves the tree level results. Analytical representations of the CrTPE NN potential in terms of elementary functions are derived and their chiral content is discussed.

description: Since the 1960s, Point Ellice House in Victoria has engaged visitors with stories of tea, croquet, romance, and high society. Of course, there’s much more to the site than tea on the lawn, as the Vancouver Island Local History Society is demonstrating since we took over management of the site in 2019. We are working to understand Point Ellice House as a “historical hub,” a site connected to its neighbourhood, the wider city of Victoria, and to British Columbia’s and Canada’s legacies of colonization. When we started at Point Ellice House, our non-profit society began a reassessment and overhaul of the dated interpretation and training documents. We also continue to reimagine site programming; we’ve dropped 30 years of declining afternoon tea service in favour of storytelling and exhibits. Central to these changes is interpreting the house and its families within the context of the British Empire and settler colonialism.
