description: We have synthesized the anti-symmetric spin exchange interaction (ASI), which is also called the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, in a superconducting circuit containing five superconducting qubits connected to a bus resonator, by periodically modulating the transition frequencies of the qubits with different modulation phases. This allows us to show the chiral spin dynamics in three-, four- and five-spin clusters. We also demonstrate a three-spin chiral logic gate and entangle up to five qubits in Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. Our results pave the way for quantum simulation of magnetism with ASI and quantum computation with chiral spin states.

description: The coupling of two rotating spherical magnets is investigated experimentally, with particular emphasis on those motions where the driven magnet follows the driving one with a uniform angular speed, which is a feature of the so called cogging free couplings. The experiment makes use of standard equipment and digital image processing. The theory for these couplings is based on fundamental dipole-dipole interactions with analytically accessible solutions. Technical applications of this kind of coupling are foreseeable particularly for small machines, an advantage which also comes handy for classroom demonstrations of this feature of the fundamental concept of dipole-dipole coupling.

description: We estimate the cosmic number density of the recently identified class of HI-bearing ultra-diffuse sources (HUDs) based on the completeness limits of the ALFALFA survey. These objects fall in the range $8.5 < \log M_{\rm{HI}}/\rm{M_{\odot}} < 9.5$, have average $r$-band surface brightnesses fainter than 24 mag arsec$^{-2}$, half-light radii greater than 1.5 kpc, and are separated from neighbours by at least 350 kpc. We find that HUDs contribute at most 6% of the population of HI-bearing dwarfs, have a total cosmic number density of $(1.5 \pm 0.6) \times 10^{-3}$ $\rm{Mpc^{-3}}$, and an HI mass density of $(6.0 \pm 0.8) \times 10^{5}$ $\rm{M_{\odot}\,Mpc^{-3}}$. We estimate that this is similar to the total cosmic number density of UDGs in groups and clusters, and conclude that the relation between the number of UDGs hosted in a halo and the halo mass, must have a break below $M_{200} \sim 10^{12}$ $\rm{M_{\odot}}$ in order to account for the abundance of HUDs. The distribution of the velocity widths of HUDs rises steeply towards low values, indicating a preference for slow rotation rates. These objects have been absent from measurements of the galaxy stellar mass function owing to their low surface brightness. However, we estimate that due to their low number density, their inclusion would constitute a correction of less than 1%. Comparison with the Santa Cruz SAM shows that it produces HI-rich central UDGs that have similar colours to HUDs, but these are currently produced in much great a number. While previous results from this sample have favoured formation scenarios where HUDs form in high spin parameter halos, comparisons with the results of Rong et al. 2017, which invokes that formation mechanism, reveal that this model produces an order of magnitude more field UDGs than we observe in the HUD population.(Abridged)

description: This report reflects the discussions and presentations that took place at the Future of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Broadcasting: Conversation and Convergence gatherings from February to June, 2017. The gatherings aimed to bring practitioners, policy makers and academics together as allies to prepare a context for respectful and meaningful consultation. The idea was to create or identify the terms of reference for the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) review the Native Broadcasting Policy1 (CRTC 1990-89), which according to its Three-Year Plan 2017-2020 was set to occur in 2018. The goal was to encourage deliberations before the CRTC initiated any procedure to ensure that any policy changes would support the development goals identified by Indigenous media activists, broadcasters, and community members. These gatherings aimed to share decision making power with the people, and to assert Indigenous rights to media democracy 'for as long as the waters flow,’ as well as to propose changes to the existing Policy. All participants are considered as authors of this report, as the people who have contributed the ideas and solutions therein. It is an exercise some members, such as Les Carpenter speaking at the Ottawa gathering (Native Communications Society of the NWT), believe should happen more frequently: “When you don't get together, you don't get to exchange ideas and talk over issues ... So, something like this should be organized ... at least once a year we should try to get together.” It is also in line with Indigenous values to attribute authorship to all people who have contributed their time, knowledge, ideas, stories and overall support to produce this work as it, ultimately, belongs to all of them. As part of this process, participants were asked for feedback on the report before it was made public.

description: The object function for Boosting training method in acoustic modeling aims to reduce utterance level error rate. This is different from the most commonly used performance metric in speech recognition, word error rate. This paper proposes that the combination of N-best list re-ranking and ROVER can partly address this problem. In particular, model combination is applied to re-ranked hypotheses rather than to the original top-1 hypotheses and carried on word level. Improvement of system performance is observed in our experiments. In addition, we describe and evaluate a new confidence feature that measures the correctness of frame level decoding result.

description: In this work, we compare existing non-polarizable force fields developed to study the solid or solution phases of hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites with the AMOEBA polarizable force field. The aim is to test whether more computationally expensive polarizable force fields like AMOEBA offer better transferability between solution and solid phases, with the ultimate goal being the study of crystal nucleation, growth and other interfacial phenomena involving these ionic compounds. In the context of hybrid perovskites, AMOEBA force field parameters already exist for several elements in solution and we decided to leave them unchanged and to only parameterize the missing ones (Pb\textsuperscript{2+} and CH\textsubscript{3}NH\textsubscript{3}\textsuperscript{+} ions) in order to maximise transferability and avoid over-fitting to the specific examples studied here. Overall, we find that AMOEBA yields accurate hydration free energies (within 5\%) for typical ionic species while showing the correct ordering of stability for the different crystal polymorphs of CsPbI\textsubscript{3} and CH\textsubscript{3}NH\textsubscript{3}PbI\textsubscript{3}. While the existing parameters do not accurately reproduce all transition temperatures and lattice parameters, AMOEBA offers better transferability between solution and solid states than existing non-polarizable force fields.

L'influence des barrières d'accès sur les comportements de recours aux soins des demandeurs d'asile
Creators: name: McCulloch, Madison
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Pendant la dernière décennie, le Canada assiste à un accroissement important du nombre de demandeurs d’asile établis au pays. Sous le Programme fédéral de santé intérimaire (PFSI), les demandeurs d’asile ont accès à une couverture de santé qui est comparable aux citoyens canadiens. Par contre, les demandeurs d’asile vivent des difficultés d’accès aux services de santé que la majorité des Canadiens d’origine ne rencontre pas. Par l’entremise d’une revue de littérature sur le sujet, nous avons constaté que les demandeurs d’asile rencontrent des barrières d’accès aux services de santé. Nous avons aussi noté qu’en réaction à ces barrières, les demandeurs d’asile doivent souvent modifier leurs comportements de recours aux soins. Par contre, la littérature semble très peu s’intéresser à ces modifications de comportements. Le but de cette recherche est donc de comprendre comment les expériences d’accès aux services de santé des demandeurs d’asile influencent leurs comportements de recours aux soins. Pour effectuer cette analyse, nous avons adopté le modèle de candidature développé par Dixon-Woods et al. (2006). Après avoir effectué trois entrevues semi-dirigées avec trois femmes demandeurs d’asile, nous avons pu confirmer que cette population rencontre des barrières d’accès qui sont multiples et parfois uniques aux personnes détenant leur statut d’immigration. Plus particulièrement, nous avons noté comme barrières d’accès : une couverture de santé limitée, un manque de connaissances de la part des professionnels concernant la couverture PFSI, le système de rendez-vous « premier arrivé premier servi », les barrières linguistiques, ainsi que la discrimination perçue chez les professionnels de la santé. Il était possible de noter que les participantes ont modifié la manière dont elles accèdent aux services de santé en réaction à ces barrières. Parmi les changements notés, ceux qui sont ressortis le plus sont : une augmentation de l’affirmation de sa candidature aux services en faisant la défense des droits, une réduction d’affirmation de sa candidature aux services en changeant son attitude, et une réduction de l’utilisation des services. Ces résultats nous ont permis de valider plusieurs informations que l’on retrouve dans la littérature sur le sujet des barrières à l’accès aux services par les demandeurs d’asile, mais également de nuancer d’autres connaissances associées à ce thème. Ainsi, si nous avons pu confirmer les différentes barrières à l’accès, nous avons cependant pu constater que la manière dont elles sont vécues diffère parfois. Grâce à nos résultats de recherche, nous avons aussi pu identifier certains aspects qui devraient être étudiés davantage: les populations qui sont plus susceptibles de rencontrer des barrières d’accès, les facteurs macro qui impactent l’expérience d’accès des demandeurs d’asile ainsi que l’impact des barrières d’accès sur la santé des demandeurs d’asile.

description: We propose new infinite families of non-supersymmetric IR dualities in three space-time dimensions, between Chern-Simons gauge theories (with classical gauge groups) with both scalars and fermions in the fundamental representation. In all cases we study the phase diagram as we vary two relevant couplings, finding interesting lines of phase transitions. In various cases the dualities lead to predictions about multi-critical fixed points and the emergence of IR quantum symmetries. For unitary groups we also discuss the coupling to background gauge fields and the map of simple monopole operators.

description:
Mechanism design is the art of designing the rules of the game so that desirable systemwide outcomes are obtained even though every agent in the system acts based on self-interest. Mechanism design has traditionally been a manual process. We recently (UAI-02) proposed automated mechanism design (AMD), and studied its worst-case complexity. This paper contains the first experimental work on AMD. We describe our implementation of AMD using a mixed integer/linear programming package (CPLEX 8.0), which we applied to a variety of scenarios that arise in different real-world settings. It created new optimal mechanisms for (divorce) dispute settlement, reinvented the Myerson optimal auction, invented optimal combinatorial auctions (a well-known important open research problem), and created new optimal mechanisms for public goods problems (both single-good and multi-good problems). We contrast the generated optimal mechanisms to the available mechanisms in the game theory literature. Finally, we present experimental scalability results of our implementation of AMD.

description: Given a complete hereditary cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ in a Grothendieck category $\mathcal{G}$, the derived category $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{B})$ of the exact category $\mathcal{B}$ is defined as the quotient of the category $\mathrm{Ch}(\mathcal{B})$, of unbounded complexes with terms in $\mathcal{B}$, modulo the subcategory $\widetilde{\mathcal{B}}$ consisting of the acyclic complexes with terms in $\mathcal{B}$ and cycles in $\mathcal{B}$. We restrict our attention to the cotorsion pairs such that $\widetilde{\mathcal{B}}$ coincides with the class $ex\mathcal{B}$ of the acyclic complexes of $\mathrm{Ch}(\mathcal{G})$ with terms in $\mathcal{B}$. In this case the derived category $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{B})$ fits into a recollement $\dfrac{ex\mathcal{B}}{\sim} \mathrel{\substack{\textstyle\leftarrow\textstyle\rightarrow\textstyle\leftarrow}} {K(\mathcal{B})} \mathrel{\substack{\textstyle\leftarrow\textstyle\rightarrow\textstyle\leftarrow}} {\dfrac{\mathrm{Ch}(\mathcal{B})}{ex\mathcal{B} }}$. We will explore the conditions under which $\mathrm{ex}\,\mathcal{B}=\widetilde{\mathcal{B}}$ and provide many examples. Symmetrically, we prove analogous results for the exact category $\mathcal{A}$.

description: Communicating design implications is common within the HCI community when publishing academic papers, yet these papers are rarely read and used by designers. One solution is to use design cards as a form of translational resource that communicates valuable insights from papers in a more digestible and accessible format to assist in design processes. However, creating design cards can be time-consuming, and authors may lack the resources/know-how to produce cards. Through an iterative design process, we built a system that helps create design cards from academic papers using an LLM and text-to-image model. Our evaluation with designers (N=21) and authors of selected papers (N=12) revealed that designers perceived the design implications from our design cards as more inspiring and generative, compared to reading original paper texts, and the authors viewed our system as an effective way of communicating their design implications. We also propose future enhancements for AI-generated design cards.

Parallel Tracking and Verifying

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Being intensively studied, visual object tracking has witnessed great advances in either speed (e.g., with correlation filters) or accuracy (e.g., with deep features). Real-time and high accuracy tracking algorithms, however, remain scarce. In this paper we study the problem from a new perspective and present a novel parallel tracking and verifying (PTAV) framework, by taking advantage of the ubiquity of multi-thread techniques and borrowing ideas from the success of parallel tracking and mapping in visual SLAM. The proposed PTAV framework is typically composed of two components, a (base) tracker T and a verifier V, working in parallel on two separate threads. The tracker T aims to provide a super real-time tracking inference and is expected to perform well most of the time; by contrast, the verifier V validates the tracking results and corrects T when needed. The key innovation is that, V does not work on every frame but only upon the requests from T; on the other end, T may adjust the tracking according to the feedback from V. With such collaboration, PTAV enjoys both the high efficiency provided by T and the strong discriminative power by V. Meanwhile, to adapt V to object appearance changes over time, we maintain a dynamic target template pool for adaptive verification, resulting in further performance improvements. In our extensive experiments on popular benchmarks including OTB2015, TC128, UAV20L and VOT2016, PTAV achieves the best tracking accuracy among all real-time trackers, and in fact even outperforms many deep learning based algorithms. Moreover, as a general framework, PTAV is very flexible with great potentials for future improvement and generalization.

Baryon masses, vector charges and axial vector couplings are studied to one-loop and organized according to the $ξ$-expansion, in which the $1/N_c$ and the low energy power countings are linked according to $1/N_c={\cal{O}}(ξ)={\cal{O}}(p)$. The renormalization to ${\cal{O}}(ξ^3)$ necessary for the mentioned observables is provided, along with applications to the baryon masses and axial couplings as obtained in lattice QCD calculations.

description: Building on the well-established premise that reliable machine translation requires a significant degree of. text comprehension, this paper presents a recent advance in multi-lingual knowledge-based machine translation (KBMT). Unlike previous approaches, the current method provides for separate syntactic and semantic knowledge sources that are integrated dynamically for parsing and generation. Such a separation enables the system to have syntactic grammars, language specific but domain general, and semantic knowledge bases, domain specific but language general. Subsequently, grammars and domain knowledge are precompiled automatically in any desired combination to produce very efficient and very thorough real-time parsers. A pilot implementation of our KBMT architecture using functional grammars and entity-oriented semantics demonstrates the feasibility of the new approach

description: The simulated Doppler shifts of the solar Mg I Fraunhofer line produced by scattering on the solar light by asteroidal, cometary, and trans-Neptunian dust particles are compared with the shifts obtained by Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) spectrometer. The simulated spectra are based on the results of integrations of the orbital evolution of particles. The deviation of the derived spectral parameters for various sources of dust used in the model reached maximum at the elongation (measured eastward from the Sun) between 90 deg and 120 deg. For the future zodiacal light Doppler shifts measurements, it is important to pay a particular attention to observing at this elongation range. At the elongations of the fields observed by WHAM, the model-predicted Doppler shifts were close to each other for several scattering functions considered. Therefore the main conclusions of our paper don't depend on a scattering function and mass distribution of particles if they are reasonable. A comparison of the dependencies of the Doppler shifts on solar elongation and the mean width of the Mg I line modeled for different sources of dust with those obtained from the WHAM observations shows that the fraction of cometary particles in zodiacal dust is significant and can be dominant. Cometary particles originating inside Jupiter's orbit and particles originating beyond Jupiter's orbit (including trans-Neptunian dust particles) can contribute to zodiacal dust about 1/3 each, with a possible deviation from 1/3 up to 0.1-0.2. The fraction of asteroidal dust is estimated to be about 0.3-0.5. The mean eccentricities of zodiacal particles located at 1-2 AU from the Sun that better fit the WHAM observations are between 0.2 and 0.5, with a more probable value of about 0.3.

description: The location of video scenes is an important semantic descriptor especially for broadcast news video. In this paper, we propose a learning-based approach to annotate shots of news video with locations extracted from video transcript, based on features from multiple video modalities including syntactic structure of transcript sentences, speaker identity, temporal video structure, and so on. Machine learning algorithms are adopted to combine multi-modal features to solve two sub-problems: (1) whether the location of a video shot is mentioned in the transcript, and if so, (2) among many locations in the transcript, which are correct one(s) for this shot. Experiments on TRECVID dataset demonstrate that our approach achieves approximately 85% accuracy in correctly labeling the location of any shot in news video.
A new class of inequality measures based on weighted conditional incomplete moments

Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: In the previous few decades, inequality measurements have particularly been interested in statistics and economics research. Among the foremost widely used measures of inequality are the measures based on complete, incomplete, and conditional moments. In this investigation, we introduce a new class of inequality measures based on weighted conditional incomplete moments. Also, we compare the new class of measures with the class of inequality measures based on weighted incomplete moments introduced by Abouelmagd and Ahmed (2014). The new class measures are shown to include many previously discussed ones such as Butler and McDonald (1987), Ahmad (1998), Lorenz measures as well as others. A statistical analysis of the new measures is presented. The new measures also characterize the income distributions well. We study these new measures under Pareto distribution. A real data application is given to illustrate the benefits of the proposed inequality measures based on weighted conditional over the previous measures.

In particular, we describe the formation of droplet states near the bottom of the spectrum in the Ising phase of the model, where the Z-term dominates the XX-term. As key tools we use particle number conservation of XXZ systems and symmetric products of graphs with their associated adjacency matrices and Laplacians. Of particular interest to us are strips and multi-dimensional Euclidean lattices, for which we discuss the existence of spectral gaps above the droplet regime. We also prove a Combes-Thomas bound which shows that the eigenstates in the droplet regime are exponentially small perturbations of strict (classical) droplets.

description: We discuss two methods by which high porosity silica aerogels can be engineered to exhibit global anisotropy. First, anisotropy can be introduced with axial strain. In addition, intrinsic anisotropy can result during growth and drying stages and, suitably controlled, it can be correlated with preferential radial shrinkage in cylindrical samples. We have performed small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to characterize these two types of anisotropy. We show that global anisotropy originating from either strain or shrinkage leads to optical birefringence and that optical cross-polarization studies are a useful characterization of the uniformity of the imposed global anisotropy.

Power and Water in Jordan and Israel: An Exploration of Hydro-Hegemony in the post-Peace Treaty Era
Creators: name: Jacobsen, Jens
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: Water resources in the Lower Jordan Basin states of Israel, Palestine and Jordan have historically been characterized by unilateral development, competition and conflict, but have seen increasing levels of cooperation since the 1994 Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty. This new era of cooperation, however, is not immune to power relations, as Israel remains the dominant economic and military force of the region. This paper will explore how the power dynamic between Israel and Jordan has evolved in the post-Peace Treaty era, as it pertains to water-related affairs. This paper then presents the question; can Jordan’s active role in pursuing joint Jordan-Israel water projects be seen as acting in concert with or in opposition to Israeli hydro-hegemony? Ultimately, the research will present the argument that Jordanian interactions largely complied with Israeli hegemonic leadership in the fields of ideological and normative power, which are considered highly effective in generating consent. There is however also notable evidence that Jordan has strategically used counter-hegemonic mechanisms in the ‘leverage’ field, seeking to increase Jordan’s position within the existing hegemonic order, without attempting to replace it or fundamentally change it. The prevalence of these contest mechanisms demonstrates that the hegemonic order of the Lower Jordan River Basin is not complete, and that Jordan is at least partially acting as a counter hydro-hegemonic force, while primarily complying with the existing hegemonic order.

description: Graphs are an increasingly important data source, with such important graphs as the Internet and the Web. Other familiar graphs include CAD circuits, phone records, gene sequences, city streets, social networks and academic citations. Any kind of relationship, such as actors appearing in movies, can be represented as a graph. This work presents a data mining tool, called ANF, that can quickly answer a number of interesting questions on graph-represented data, such as the following. How robust is the Internet to failures? What are the most influential database papers? Are there gender differences in movie appearance patterns? At its core, ANF is based on a fast and memory-efficient approach for approximating the complete “neighbourhood function” for a graph. For the Internet graph (268K nodes), ANF’s highly- accurate approximation is more than 700 times faster than the exact computation. This reduces the running time from nearly a day to a matter of a minute or two, allowing users to perform ad hoc drill-down tasks and to repeatedly answer questions about changing data sources. To enable this drill-down, ANF employs new techniques for approximating neighbourhood-type functions for graphs with distinguished nodes and/or edges. When compared to the best existing approximation, ANF’s approach is both faster and more accurate, given the same resources. Additionally, unlike previous approaches, ANF scales gracefully to handle disk resident graphs. Finally, we present some of our results from mining large graphs using ANF.

description: In this paper we investigate the $η_c$ production by photon - photon and photon - hadron interactions in $pp$ and $pA$ collisions at the LHC energies. The inclusive and diffractive contributions for the $η_c$ photoproduction are estimated using the nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) formalism. We estimate the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions for the $η_c$ photoproduction in hadronic collisions at the LHC and present our estimate for the total cross sections at the Run 2 energies. A comparison with the predictions for the exclusive $η_c$ photoproduction, which is a direct probe of the Odderon, also is presented.

description: We study electromagnetic transitions: $B_c^*(ns)\to B_c(ns) e^+ e^-$, $B_c^*(ns)\to B_c(n^{\prime}s) e^+ e^-$ and $B_c(ns)\to B^*_c(n^{\prime}s) e^+ e^-$ in the relativistic independent quark (RIQ) model based on a flavor-independent potential in the scalar-vector harmonic form. The transition form factors for energetically possible transitions involving $B_c$ - and $B_c^*$- mesons in ground as well as orbitally excited states are predicted in their respective kinematic range. Our predictions on decay width for the allowed and hindered transitions are found compatible with those of the model calculations based on Bethe-Salpeter approach. Predictions in this sector would not only provide more information about members of the $B_c$-family including mass splitting between vector mesons and corresponding pseudoscalar counterparts but give hints for experimental determination of unknown masses of other excited $B_c$ - and ground state of $B_c^*$-meson, which is expected at LHCb and $Z^0$ factory in near future.

description: Abstract: "Computer systems depend on high priority background processes to provide both reliability and security. This is especially true in multiserver systems where many such background processes are required for data coherence, fault detection, intrusion detection, etc. From a user's perspective, it is important to understand the effect that these many classes of high priority, backround tasks have on the performance of lower priority user-level tasks. We model this situation as an M/GI/k queue with m preemptive-resume priority classes, presenting the first analysis of this system with more than two priority classes under a general phase-type service distribution. (Prior analyses of the M/GI/k with more than two priority classes are approximations that, we show, can be highly inaccurate.) Our analytical method is very different from the prior literature: it combines the technique of dimensionality reduction [10] with Neuts' technique for determining busy periods in multiserver systems [21], and then uses a novel recursive iteration technique. Our analysis is approximate, but, unlike prior techniques, can be made as accurate as desired, and is verified via simulation."

description: A combination of analytic models and n-body simulations implies that the structural evolution of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is dominated by its dynamical interaction with the Milky Way. Although expected at some level, the scope of the involvement has significant observational consequences. First, LMC disk orbits are torqued out of the disk plane, thickening the disk and populating a spheroid. The torque results from direct forcing by the Milky Way tide and, indirectly, from the drag between the LMC disk and its halo resulting from the induced precession of the LMC disk. The latter is a newly reported mechanism that can affect all satellite interactions. However, the overall torque does not isotropize the stellar orbits, and their kinematics remains disklike. Such a kinematic signature is observed for nearly all LMC populations. The extended disk distribution is predicted to increase the microlensing toward the LMC. Second, the disk's binding energy slowly decreases during this process, puffing up and priming the outer regions for subsequent tidal stripping. Because the tidally stripped debris will be spatially extended, the distribution of stripped stars is much more extended than the H I Magellanic Stream. This is consistent with upper limits to stellar densities in the gas stream and suggests a different strategy for detecting the stripped stars. Finally, the mass loss over several LMC orbits is predicted by n-body simulation, and the debris extends to tens of kiloparsecs from the tidal boundary. Although the overall space density of the stripped stars is low, the possible existence of such intervening populations has recently been reported and may be detectable using 2MASS.

description: We present a collection of classical, type II, and anomalous Cepheids detected in the OGLE fields toward the Galactic center. The sample contains 87 classical Cepheids pulsating in one, two or three radial modes, 924 type II Cepheids divided into BL Her, W Vir, peculiar W Vir, and RV Tau stars, and 20 anomalous Cepheids - first such objects found in the Galactic bulge. Additionally, we upgrade the OGLE Collection of RR Lyr stars in the Galactic bulge by adding 828 newly identified variables. For all Cepheids and RR Lyr stars, we publish time-series VI photometry obtained during the OGLE-IV project, from 2010 through 2017. We discuss basic properties of our classical pulsators: their spatial distribution, light curve morphology, period-luminosity relations, and position in the Petersen diagram. We present the most interesting individual objects in our collection: a type II Cepheid with additional eclipsing modulation, W Vir stars with the period doubling effect and the RVb phenomenon, a mode-switching RR Lyr star, and a triple-mode anomalous RRd star.

description: The backbone of many software architectures and component integration frameworks is an architectural style that provides a domain-specific design vocabulary and a set of constraints on how that vocabulary is used. Given the increasing number and complexity of architectural styles, designing a sound and appropriate style becomes an important and intellectually challenging activity. Unfortunately, although there are numerous tools to help in the analysis of architectures for individual systems, relatively less work has been done on tools to help the style designer. In this paper we show how to map an architectural style, expressed formally in an architectural description language, into a relational model that can be automatically checked for properties such as whether a style is consistent, whether a style satisfies some predicate over the architectural structure, whether two styles are compatible for composition, and whether one style refines another.

Comprendre la réalité de l’épuisement professionnel chez les intervenants sociaux oeuvrant dans la région de l’Outaouais
Creators: name: Lessard, Nathalie
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Actuellement au Québec, l’exercice de la profession d’intervenante sociale s’inscrit dans un contexte de réformes et de performance qui entraine des enjeux importants, des tensions et des situations d’épuisement (Grenier, Bouque et St-Amour, 2016). Amenées par la nouvelle gestion publique (NGP), les conditions de travail difficiles fragilisent la pratique sociale des intervenantes qui se retrouvent à vivre les conséquences, et pour certaines d’entre elles, à connaître un arrêt de travail pour épuisement professionnel. Ainsi, la présente étude cherche à mieux comprendre l’expérience de l’épuisement professionnel chez les intervenantes sociales. Plus particulièrement, elle vise à : 1) rendre compte des difficultés vécues par les intervenantes sociales; à 2) comprendre quels sont les facteurs qui contribuent à l’épuisement professionnel; et finalement, à 3) examiner les divers besoins des intervenantes sociales pour prévenir les risques d’épuisement professionnel. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, une méthodologie qualitative a été privilégiée par le biais d’entrevues semi-dirigées avec trois intervenantes et un intervenant (n = 4) œuvrant dans la région de l’Outaouais. Comme cadre théorique nous avons opté pour l’approche écosystémique. Cette approche sert à appréhender la situation d’épuisement professionnel vécu par les intervenantes sociales par le biais d’une analyse écosystémique des réalités observées. Autrement dit, à mettre en lumière l’influence et l’interaction de divers systèmes sur la pratique sociale des intervenantes, menant à leur épuisement professionnel. Il ressort essentiellement des résultats que les difficultés vécues et les facteurs reliés à l’épuisement professionnel sont multidimensionnels. Non seulement les intervenantes sociales subissent l’influence des normes organisationnelles dans leur milieu de travail, mais elles font aussi face aux effets pervers des réformes et des croyances sociétales basées sur la performance et la rentabilité. De plus, des difficultés d’ordre professionnel ou personnel peuvent être vécues par les intervenantes sociales, mais elles représentent qu’une infime partie du problème. Par conséquent, autant dans les milieux communautaires qu’institutionnels, le contexte actuel de la pratique du travail social au Québec génère de l’anxiété chez les intervenantes. Les résultats de la présente étude démontrent des similitudes entre les divers participants au niveau de leurs besoins pour prévenir l’épuisement professionnel. Ces besoins doivent servir de prémisses afin de mieux soutenir les intervenantes sociales dans leur travail et pour réduire les risques d’épuisement.
