title: University students' use of technologies in China
Creators: name: Shao, Binhui
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: Much has been written in the last few years about 'Net Generation' students in western industrial advanced countries (e.g. Kennedy et al. 2007; Salaway et al. 2008; Jones et al. 2010). However little is known about these students and their use of technologies at universities in China.

 As one of the first empirical studies of the Net Generation university students' use of technologies in mainland China, a survey was administered to students across eight disciplines in one university during May-July 2010. The aim was to understand how university students in mainland China use technologies in their daily lives and to support their learning. In total, 2920 students completed the survey and 29 students participated in the follow up interviews.

 The results indicate that students are not naturally competent with technologies and there is a diverse range in students' experiences with technologies even within the age group. There are statistically significant differences in students' access and skill levels with ICT across gender, disciplines and year of study.

 Students are frequent users of instant messaging (1M), blogs and social networking sites (SNS). Nevertheless, the use of more recent web 2.0 technologies that are often associated with this generation is relatively low. There are also an increasing number of students who access the Internet via their mobile devices. Computers and the Internet have not been fully integrated into the university system, and most students use computers and the Internet for social and leisure purposes more than for learning. More in-depth investigation into students' technology practice is essential in developing appropriate guidance towards a digital culture at university in China.

description: It is shown that at one-loop order a neutrino charge radius (NCR) may be defined, which is ultraviolet finite, does not depend on the gauge-fixing parameter, nor on properties of the target other than its electric charge. This is accomplished through the systematic decomposition of physical amplitudes into effective self-energies, vertices, and boxes, which separately respect electroweak gauge invariance. In this way the NCR stems solely from an effective proper photon-neutrino one-loop vertex, which satisfies a naive, QED-like Ward identity. The NCR so defined may be extracted from experiment, at least in principle, by expressing a set of experimental electron-neutrino cross-sections in terms of the finite NCR and two additional gauge- and renormalization-group-invariant quantities, corresponding to the electroweak effective charge and mixing angle.

description: By measuring the critical current versus the applied magnetic field $I_c(Φ)$ of an Al superconducting loop enclosing a soft Permalloy magnetic dot, we demonstrate that it is feasible to design a linear magnetic flux amplifier for applications in superconducting quantum interference devices. The selected dimensions of a single-domain Permalloy dot provide that the preferential orientation of the magnetization is rotated from the perpendicular direction. By increasing an applied magnetic field, the magnetization of the dot coherently rotates towards the out-of-plane direction, thus providing a flux gain and an enhancement of the sensitivity. As a result of a pronounced shape anisotropy, the flux gain generated by the dot can be tuned by adjusting the dimensions of the dot.

description: Recently the μ_{Δ^{++}} was found from a fit to (π^+)p scattering. This enable us to pinpoint condensate parameters more precisely in the context of QCD sum rules (QCDSR). In the octet sector, the Coleman-Glashow sum rule (CGSR) is violated by the experimental μ-s. QCDSR allows us to write down two sum rules similar to the CGSR, which are obeyed by the experimental magnetic moments, whereas they rule out a specific model using the Wilson loop approach and a particular chiral quark model. It is amusing to note that the QCDSR allows us to write down the quark and gluon condensates in terms of measurables like the μ-s of the nucleons and the Σ^{+/-}.

 Comment. This species seems to be a more variable in color than any other in the genus. Some specimens from the northern part of its range (Bahia, Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo) are much darker in color (pronotum, elytra, and abdomen black), others are similar to those from the southern part of its range (Santa Catarina) which are paler (pronotum browner, elytra and abdomen pale chestnut). Color of the metafemora also varies from pale in color (testaceous peduncle, pale chestnut clave) to dark in color (yellower peduncle, rufous to black claves), in some the yellow of the metafemoral peduncle and the rufous of the clave are separated by a black ring, as recorded by Fisher (1930) when he described A. rufofemorata from Bahia (see Fig 15); and metatibial color ranges from almost entirely yellow to almost entirely black. In female specimens ranging from Espirito Santo to Santa Catarina there is considerable variation in the following characters. Color of pubescence (golden to rufous on body parts; and metatibial brushes from entirely black to entirely rufous); length of elytra (apex reaching from middle of urosternite III to middle of IV); width of base of prosternal process (distinctly wider in one specimen from Santa Catarina than those from Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo; and in other characters not analyzed.

Individual differences in psychopathic traits and identifying mental states and emotions in others

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Psychopathy has gained interest as a research topic in recent years due to the devastating effects it has on society and the failure of traditional rehabilitation techniques to work. Of particular interest is the identification of early indicators of psychopathy in children who may be more susceptible to treatment. There are three distinct factors to psychopathy in childhood-antisocial behaviour, callous-unemotional traits, and narcissism-and it is unclear if these traits exist in various degrees in non-clinical samples and if each factor relates to unique deficits. This study examined how individual differences in these psychopathic traits in typically developing children relate to their competence in identifying both emotional and non-emotional mental states in others. Forty-three children from the Greater Vancouver Area aged 6 to 11 (M = 8yrs 3mos, SD = 1yr 5mos) participated (23 boys, 20 girls). The participants completed an emotion recognition task, a mental state identification task, and an intelligence measure. The parents of the participants completed two well-validated measures of psychopathy in children. The results revealed no relationship between individual differences in these traits and the identification of non-emotional mental states or the overall ability to correctly detect emotions in others. There was, however, a diminished ability to detect negative emotions in those with higher levels of callous-unemotional traits as well as a tendency to incorrectly attribute threat emotions for those with lower levels of psychopathy. These effects were found while controlling for the effects of age, gender, and intelligence. These findings are discussed in relation to current theories of psychopathy and potential avenues for future research.

description: The steepness of the central density profiles of dark matter (DM) in low-mass galaxy halos (e.g. dwarf galaxies) is a powerful probe of the nature of DM. We propose a novel scheme to probe the inner profiles of galaxy subhalos using stellar streams. We show that the present day morphological and dynamical properties of accreted globular cluster (GC) streams - those produced from tidal stripping of GCs that initially evolved within satellite galaxies and later merged with the Milky Way (MW) - are sensitive to the central DM density profile and mass of their parent satellites. GCs that accrete within cuspy CDM subhalos produce streams that are physically wider and dynamically hotter than streams that accrete inside cored subhalos. A first comparison of MW streams "GD-1" and "Jhelum" (likely of accreted GC origin) with our simulations indicates a preference for cored subhalos. If these results hold up in future data, the implication is that either the DM cusps were erased by baryonic feedback, or their subhalos naturally possessed cored density profiles implying DM models beyond CDM. Moreover, accreted GC streams are highly structured and exhibit complex morphological features (e.g., parallel structures and "spurs"). This implies that the accretion scenario can naturally explain the recently observed peculiarities in some of the MW streams. We also propose a novel mechanism for forming "gaps" in streams when the remnant of the parent subhalo later passes through the stream. This encounter can last a longer time (and have more of an impact) than the random encounters with DM subhalos previously considered, because the GC stream and its parent subhalo are on similar orbits with small relative velocities. Current and future surveys of the MW halo will uncover numerous faint stellar streams and provide the data needed to substantiate our preliminary tests with this new probe of DM.

description: We have developed a theoretical method for interpretation of photoionization experiments with the H_3 molecule. In the present study we give a detailed description of the method, which combines multichannel quantum defect theory, the adiabatic hyperspherical approach, and the techniques of outgoing Siegert pseudostates. The present method accounts for vibrational and rotation excitations of the molecule, deals with all symmetry restrictions imposed by the geometry of the molecule, including vibrational, rotational, electronic and nuclear spin symmetries. The method was recently applied to treat dissociative recombination of the H_3^+ ion. Since H_3^+ dissociative recombination has been a controversial problem, the present study also allows us to test the method on the process of photoionization, which is understood better than dissociative recombination. Good agreement with two photoionization experiments is obtained.

description: We consider an effect of a strong magnetic field on the ground state and macroscopic coherent tunneling in small antiferromagnetic particles with uniaxial and biaxial single-ion anisotropy. We find several tunneling regimes that depend on the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the anisotropy axes. For the case of a purely uniaxial symmetry and the field directed along the easy axis, an exact instanton solution with two different scales in imaginary time is constructed. For a rhombic anisotropy the effect of the field strongly depends on its orientation: with the field increasing, the tunneling rate increases or decreases for the field parallel to the easy or medium axis, respectively. The analytical results are complemented by numerical simulations.

title: The Molecular Epidemiology of Enteric Fever in South and Southeast Asia

description: Typhoid fever is a life-threating systemic infection caused by Salmonella enterica sub-species enterica serovars Typhi (S. Typhi) and Paratyphi A (S. Paratyphi A). While the disease is mainly travel-associated in developed countries, it still causes significant burden in the poorest areas in developing countries where safe water and adequate sanitation and food hygiene remain limited. Typhoid management largely relies on antimicrobial therapy; however, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in these causative pathogens has become a global threat, compromising the effectiveness of the treatment therapy and signifying the burden of this disease. Understanding the epidemiology of typhoid fever in different endemic settings as well as the impact of AMR on the disease outcome is crucial for disease control and management.

 First, this thesis utilized whole genome sequences of S. Typhi combined with clinical data from a randomized controlled trial to investigate the impact of AMR and bacterial genotype on the disease outcome. A novel subclade of ciprofloxacin-resistant H58 S. Typhi associated with increased treatment failure was identified and these organisms were likely widespread in Indian subcontinent. Subsequently, this study combined bacterial genomics with conventional epidemiological tools to reveal the population structure and spatiotemporal dynamics of S. Paratyphi A isolates in Nepal. The Nepalese S. Paratyphi A population was highly dynamic with evidences of regular inter-country transmission, clonal expansion and replacement of distinct genotypes during the study period. A number of localized spatiotemporal clusters of S. Paratyphi A cases were also identified. A molecular epidemiological investigation was also performed to provide insights into the AMR, epidemiological features and population structure and dynamics of S. Typhi in rural areas of Siem Reap, Cambodia. A substantial burden of pediatric typhoid fever was revealed and communes with high-risk of infection were identified. Multidrug resistant H58 S. Typhi with reduced susceptibility to fluoroquinolones was dominant in this setting. This study also investigated the phylogenetic relationship between acute and carriage S. Typhi isolates in Nepal and deciphered the genetic characteristics associated with carriage isolates. My study suggested that typhoid carriage was likely not an important source of new infections in endemic area.

description: The Pauli exclusion principle is a fundamental law underpinning the structure of matter. Due to their anti-symmetric wave function, no two fermions can occupy the same quantum state. Here, we report on the direct observation of the Pauli principle in a continuous system of up to six particles in the ground state of a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator. To this end, we sample the full many-body wavefunction by applying a single atom resolved imaging scheme in momentum space. We find so-called Pauli crystals as a manifestation of higher order correlations. In contrast to true crystalline phases, these unique high-order density correlations emerge even without any interactions present. Our work lays the foundation for future studies of correlations in strongly interacting systems of many fermions.

Particle creation in the oscillatory phase of inflaton
Creators: name: Suresh, P. K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A thermal squeezed state representation of inflaton is constructed for a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background metric and the phenomenon of particle creation is examined during the oscillatory phase of inflaton, in the semiclassical theory of gravity. An approximate solution to the semiclassical Einstein equation is obtained in thermal squeezed state formalism by perturbatively and is found obey the same power-law expansion as that of classical Einstein equation. In addition to that the solution shows oscillatory in nature except on a particular condition. It is also noted that, the coherently oscillating nonclassical inflaton, in thermal squeezed vacuum state, thermal squeezed state and thermal coherent state, suffer particle production and the created particles exhibit oscillatory behavior. The present study can account for the post inflation particle creation due to thermal and quantum effects of inflaton in a flat FRW universe.

description: Using a large sample of Ds to Phi mu nu decays collected by the FOCUS photoproduction experiment at Fermilab, we present new measurements of two semileptonic form factor ratios: rV and r2. We find rV = 1.549 \pm 0.250 \pm 0.145 and r2 = 0.713 \pm 0.202 \pm 0.266. These values are consistent with the rV and r2 form factors measured for the process D+ to K*bar mu nu.

title: Problem solving from textbook examples
Creators: name: Robertson, Sydney Ian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1994

description: There has been a great deal of research into students' use of examples when solving problems in textbooks. Much of this work has been within the framework of analogical problem solving (APS). Indeed many researchers believe they can build adequate models of how students learn and solve exercise problems by analogy to worked examples. In the first part of this thesis I argue that this view of problem solving from examples is inappropriate and often misleading. Most students learning a subject for the first time tend to imitate examples. Imitative Problem Solving UPS)is a weak form of analogical problem solving. APS accounts assume that a solver has a representation of an earlier problem in memory. The difficulties involved are accessing that source problem and adapting it to solve the current one. WS does not assume t at the source is represented in memory, and even when the source example is available( as in textbook examples), the student may not understand it well enough to be able to adapt it to new situations.

The second part of the thesis presents an interpretation theory for analysing both texts and the behaviour of solvers using those texts to solve exercise problems.

The third part applies the interpretation theory to the solution explanation of a simple algebra word problem. Where an example problem fails to map directly onto an exercise problem, or where inferences have to be made to understand it, the solver win be unable to imitate the example and hence will have difficulties in proportion to the mapping inequalities between the two problems. That is, the interpretation theory allows us to predict precisely where solvers will have difficulty using an example to solve an exercise problem of the same type.

The final part presents experimental tests of these predictions. The results confirm that the interpretation theory analysis can correctly identify possible areas of difficulty for the student due to a) the way an example problem is structured, and b) the nature of the transfer task.
Transport and tumbling of polymers in viscoelastic shear flow

description: Polymers in shear flow are ubiquitous and we study their motion in a viscoelastic fluid under shear. Employing dumbbells as representative, we find that the center of mass motion follows: $\langle x^2_c(t) \rangle \sim \dotγ^2 t^{α+2}, ~0< α<1$, generalizing the earlier result: $\langle x^2_c(t) \rangle \sim \dotγ^2t^3 ~(α= 1)$. Motion of the relative coordinate, on the other hand, is quite intriguing in that $\langle x^2_r(t) \rangle \sim t^β$ with $β= 2(1-α)$ for small $α$. This implies nonexistence of the steady state. We remedy this pathology by introducing a nonlinear spring with FENE-LJ interaction and study tumbling dynamics of the dumbbell. The overall effect of viscoelasticity is to slow down the dynamics in the experimentally observed ranges of the Weissenberg number. We numerically obtain the characteristic time of tumbling and show that small changes in $α$ result in large changes in tumbling times.
Is the Lorentz signature of the metric of spacetime electromagnetic in origin?

description: We formulate a premetric version of classical electrodynamics in terms of the excitation H and the field strength F. A local, linear, and symmetric spacetime relation between H and F is assumed. It yields, if electric/magnetic reciprocity is postulated, a Lorentzian metric of spacetime thereby excluding Euclidean signature (which is, nevertheless, discussed in some detail). Moreover, we determine the Dufay law (repulsion of like charges and attraction of opposite ones), the Lenz rule (the relative sign in Faraday's law), and the sign of the electromagnetic energy. In this way, we get a systematic understanding of the sign rules and the sign conventions in electrodynamics. The question in the title of the paper is answered affirmatively.

Promoting community connections redesign of Nelson Park
Creators: name: Watson, Rosanna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Nelson Park is situated in a dense urban environment in the heart of the West End of Vancouver B.C. This neighborhood park acts as a backyard to many West End residents, a short cut for residents to cut through, and has a playground and school for young children. The park is visually permeable with multiple site lines throughout. It is at times a popular destination for a number of local users. However, these features do not deter drug users, dealers, criminals and other undesirables from regularly using the space thus making it feel unsafe and uncomfortable for legitimate users. Nelson Park has the potential to play an integral role in the formation and continuation of social groups. This graduation project redesigns Nelson Park to increase the success of this public space by reducing user conflicts and improving the sense of security and community in Nelson Park. The redesign will attempt to fulfill the parks potential as a place for all legitimate users to enjoy.
title: Staff Perceptions of Lesson Observation and Feedback in a UK Secondary School: CPD, Identity, and Organisational Culture
Creators: name: Alshawabka, Khaled Elwalid
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Lesson observation and feedback is one of the main tools used to improve teaching and pupils’ learning and is seen as a key aspect of teachers’ continuing professional development. However, during a time of increasing accountability and performativity, the process is also linked to performance management and can be perceived negatively. Yet there is little research that looks precisely at this issue, especially from the perspectives of both teachers and middle leaders. This study investigates teachers’ and middle leaders’ perceptions of lesson observation and feedback in a UK secondary school. The conceptual framework consists of three main interrelated concepts: (i) continuing professional development (CPD); (ii) professional identity; and (iii) organisational culture. This study, situated in the interpretive paradigm, uses a qualitative case study method. Sixteen participants were interviewed: ten teachers, five middle leaders, and a teaching and learning coordinator. Data were also collected from documentary analysis of relevant policies and paperwork. These data were analysed using established thematic coding techniques. The study reveals that nearly all participants recognised that lesson observation and feedback was very closely linked to their students’ learning, improvement of pedagogy, and the desire to develop their own teaching practice to become skilled professionals. Teachers responded positively towards their teaching when taking part in all types of observation and feedback, and collaboration, communication and trust were important elements of the process. Teachers’ major concerns were associated with certain aspects of the feedback given, for instance lack of time allocated to deliver constructive feedback, the subject specialism of the observer, and consultation in decision-making regarding their CPD needs. The study recommends that leaders should allow time with teachers as part of a genuine consultation, allowing thorough feedback. It appears that promoting and facilitating collegiality within the process of lesson observation helps create employee commitment and loyalty, thus eliminating some of the negativity associated with the process linked to accountability.

description: Ozone (O$_{3}$) is a key oxidant and pollutant in the lower atmosphere. Significant increases in surface O$_{3}$ have been reported in many cities during the COVID-19 lockdown. Here we conduct comprehensive observation and modeling analyses of surface O$_{3}$ across China for periods before and during the lockdown. We find that daytime O$_{3}$ decreased in the subtropical south, in contrast to increases in most other regions. Meteorological changes and emission reductions both contributed to the O$_{3}$ changes, with a larger impact from the former especially in central China. The plunge in nitrogen oxide (NO$_{x}$) emission contributed to O$_{3}$ increases in populated regions, whereas the reduction in volatile organic compounds (VOC) contributed to O$_{3}$ decreases across the country. Due to a decreasing level of NO$_{x}$ saturation from north to south, the emission reduction in NO$_{x}$ (46%) and VOC (32%) contributed to net O$_{3}$ increases in north China; the opposite effects of NO$_{x}$ decrease (49%) and VOC decrease (24%) balanced out in central China, whereas the comparable decreases (45-55%) in these two precursors contributed to net O$_{3}$ declines in south China. Our study highlights the complex dependence of O$_{3}$ on its precursors and the importance of meteorology in the short-term O$_{3}$ variability.

description: Spiral galaxies in the Local Universe are commonly observed to be embedded in extended disks of neutral hydrogen - the so called ``extended HI disks''. Based on observations made using the ISOPHOT instrument on board the Infrared Space Observatory, we report the first detection of cold dust in the extended HI disk of a spiral galaxy. The detection was achieved through a dedicated deep Far-Infrared observation of a large field encompassing the entire HI disk of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891. Our discovery indicates that the extended HI disk of NGC 891 is not primordial in origin.
