Coherent radiation by magnets with exchange interactions

description: A wide class of materials acquires magnetic properties due to particle interactions through exchange forces. These can be atoms and molecules composing the system itself, as in the case of numerous magnetic substances. Or these could be different defects, as in the case of graphene, graphite, carbon nanotubes, and related materials. The theory is suggested describing fast magnetization reversal in magnetic systems, whose magnetism is caused by exchange interactions. The effect is based on the coupling of a magnetic sample with an electric circuit producing a feedback magnetic field. This method can find various applications in spintronics. The magnetization reversal can be self-organized, producing spin superradiance. A part of radiation is absorbed by a resonator magnetic coil. But an essential part of radiation can also be emitted through the coil sides.

description: People increasingly micromanage their lives through technology; every moment and action accounted for by electronic devices. People can even micromanage their health by using devices that calculate every calorie consumed and expended. These devices are among a new class of technology called persuasive technology. Such devices cleverly persuade users to increase their exercise and decrease their caloric intake. These devices are attractive to girls with eating disorders as they struggle with the narrowing mainstream definition of beauty - now synonymous with anorexia. The volatility of the situation is compounded by the pro-ana movement, an Internet based phenomenon where girls seek empowerment through eating disorder. If society accepts this new persuasive weight loss technology without question, the results are predictable. A weight-obsessed American culture will proclaim weight loss success while the already epidemic number of girls with eating disorders will increase.

description: HI intensity mapping is an emerging tool to probe dark energy. Observations of the redshifted HI signal will be contaminated by instrumental noise, atmospheric and Galactic foregrounds. The latter is expected to be four orders of magnitude brighter than the HI emission we wish to detect. We present a simulation of single-dish observations including an instrumental noise model with 1/f and white noise, and sky emission with a diffuse Galactic foreground and HI emission. We consider two foreground cleaning methods: spectral parametric fitting and principal component analysis. For a smooth frequency spectrum of the foreground and instrumental effects, we find that the parametric fitting method provides residuals that are still contaminated by foreground and 1/f noise, but the principal component analysis can remove this contamination down to the thermal noise level. This method is robust for a range of different models of foreground and noise, and so constitutes a promising way to recover the HI signal from the data. However, it induces a leakage of the cosmological signal into the subtracted foreground of around 5%. The efficiency of the component separation methods depends heavily on the smoothness of the frequency spectrum of the foreground and the 1/f noise. We find that as, long as the spectral variations over the band are slow compared to the channel width, the foreground cleaning method still works.

Canterbury Plains Could Lead the Way in Push for Increased Wheat Production
Creators: name: Dickey, Delwyn
Publisher: name: AgResearch
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 3002
subject: Agriculture, land and farm management

description: As Canterbury dairy farmers look to diversify land use, adding wheat production could make New Zealand self-sufficient in wheat while reducing greenhouse gas production and water demand. A new agricultural model developed for the New Zealand arable farming sector looked at how to achieve this, developed by the Future Scenarios for Arable Agriculture research project funded by Our Land and Water. Producing up to 700,000 tonnes of wheat is needed annually to cover current shortfalls and low production years and meet dairy sector needs. The modelling showed, at current yields (9.9t/ha), an extra 25,000 hectares are needed to achieve self-sufficiency in milling wheat for human consumption - an extra 250,000 tonnes. Widespread use of precision agriculture to improve yields (to 12t/ha) could see this drop to an extra 20,000 hectares. From the environmental side, the modelling suggests that introducing this wheat production in a dairy system has clear positive impact, producing almost 8 times less CO2-e biogenic emissions and using one-third less water for irrigation than dairy.

description: Recent experimental work has demonstrated optical control of spin wave emission by tuning the shape of the optical pulse (Satoh et al.\ Nature Photonics, 6, 662 (2012)). We reproduce these results and extend the scope of the control by investigating nonlinear effects for large amplitude excitations. We observe an accumulation of spin wave power at the center of the initial excitation combined with short-wavelength spin waves. These kind of nonlinear effects have not been observed in earlier work on nonlinearities of spin waves. Our observations pave the way for the manipulation of magnetic structures at a smaller scale than the beam focus, for instance in devices with all-optical control of magnetism.

Subjects: Statistical Analysis

Electronic Health Records

description: Digitization of health records has opened avenues for intensive research in the fields of health informatics. Power of machine learning, statistical analysis and visual analytics could be utilized to make optimal use of this information. The proposed project is to develop an interactive visualization tool that summarizes a patient's medical history, highlighting all his/her important events based on the knowledge of similar patients. Given a set of patients with common conditions, statistical analysis can be used to develop models that prioritize features based on associations between features and condition-specific outcome measures.
This manuscript in particular describes the model developed to prioritize a patient's events from his medical history. The model is trained with the population of patients and their events. Their correlations with the outcome variable are calculated to identify the important events in a specific cohort. This correlation score can be used to prioritize the events associated with an individual patient. This model is one of the models that will be used to summarize an individual patient's medical data via interactive visualization methods.

description: Geographic Information System (GIS) tools are increasingly being used in academic, government, and business library settings. Entry level job advertisements were analyzed for educational requirements and GIS skills. Job descriptions were compared to the American Library Association Map and Geography Round Table's (MAGERT) published list of core competencies for map and GIS librarians.  The job advertisements support three of the four broad competency groups, including requirements for technical, reference, and research skill sets. The results suggest that entry level librarians are expected to meet the basic competencies for providing GIS services in academic and special library settings. Suggestions for further study are made.

description: 1. Sesleria alba Smith in Sibthorp & Smith (1806: 52)
 Lectotype (designated here, possibly holotype):— TURKEY. Istanbul Ili, s.d., s.n. (OXF – SIB –0177!). Image available at http://herbaria. plants.ox.ac.uk/bol/SIBTHORP/image/Sib-0177.jpg/Zoom?fpi=1.
 Protologue information:—“in sylvis prope pagum Belgrad ”.
 Nomenclature:— On the label of the specimen selected here as lectotype there is no collection data (locality, date and collector). However, according to Rees (1819: 334), the plant was found by John Sibthorp in the Belgrade forest near Istanbul (Turkey) and he referred it to Carex dubia due to its androgynous spike, which appeared similar to those of some Carex species. Unfortunately, Sibthorp (1758–1796) died before the publication of Flora Graeca. However, in the protologue Smith (in Sibthorp & Smith 1806) provided a short but valid description, based on Sibthorp’s notes and citing in synonymy Sibthorp’s name “ Carex dubia Sibth. ” (in Sibthorp & Smith 1806: 53), which is illegitimate according to Art. 53.1 (McNeill et al. 2012), being a later homonym of Carex dubia Hosé (1797: 34). The citation of the iconography was also published (“ Icon. Fl. Graec. t. 72.”, Sibthorp & Smith 1806). According to Stafleu & Cowan (1985), the iconography (plate 72) was published in Flora Graeca drawings in 1808, meaning it cannot be considered as original material (Art. 9.3, McNeill et al. 2012). The only extant original material we are aware of is the specimen deposited in OXF (OXF–SIB–0177), but it is possible that original material exists elsewhere. Thus, the OXF specimen is here designated as the lectotype of the name Sesleria alba.
 Taxonomy:— This name is accepted and in use (Valdés & Scholz 2009, Clayton et al. 2016).

description: Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are the highest energy messengers of the present universe, with energies up to $10^{20}$ eV. Studies of astrophysical particles (nuclei, electrons, neutrinos and photons) at their highest observed energies have implications for fundamental physics as well as astrophysics. The primary particles interact in the atmosphere and generate extensive air showers. Analysis of those showers enables one not only to estimate the energy, direction and most probable mass of the primary cosmic particles, but also to obtain information about the properties of their hadronic interactions at an energy more than one order of magnitude above that accessible with the current highest energy human-made accelerator. In this contribution we will review the state-of-the-art in UHECRs detection. We will present the leading experiments Pierre Auger Observatory and Telescope Array and discuss the cosmic ray energy spectrum, searches for directional anisotropy, studies of mass composition, the determination of the number of shower muons (which is sensitive to the shower hadronic interactions) and the proton-air cross section.

description: A time periodic driving on a topologically trivial system induces edge modes and topological properties. In this work we consider triplet and singlet superconductors subject to periodic variations of the chemical potential, spin-orbit coupling and magnetization, in both topologically trivial and nontrivial phases, and study their influence on the charge and spin currents that propagate along the edges of the two-dimensional system, for moderate to large driving frequencies. Currents associated with the edge modes are induced in the trivial phases and enhanced in the topological phases. In some cases there is a sign reversal of the currents as a consequence of the periodic driving. The edge states associated with the finite quasi-energy states at the edge of the Floquet zone are in general robust, while the stability of the zero quasi-energy states depends on the parameters. Also, the spin polarization of the Floquet spectrum quasi-energies is strong as for the unperturbed topological phases. It is found that in some cases the unperturbed edge states are immersed in a continuum of states due to the perturbation, particularly if the driving frequency is not large enough. However, their contribution to the edge currents and spin polarization is still significant.

description: Abstract Occupational Therapy is a client centred, holistic allied health profession in which the quality of a supportive, empowering therapist-client relationship is seen as having a key and central role in effective therapy. A minimum of a 1000 hours of practice placement education (PPE) must be successfully completed in pre-registration programmes, which are charged with ensuring graduates are fit for practice and purpose. This Work Based Project focussed on how pre-registration education can best equip students for a first PPE in terms of sufficient inter-personal communication skills. Primary data collection was conducted between November 2008 and March 2010. The project firstly employed thematic content analysis of data elicited from two rounds of focus group surveys of practice placement educators (PPEds) to identify a baseline of inter-personal communication skills required prior to embarking on a first PPE. This data was used to formulate an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) checklist of inter-personal communication skills, which was then utilised as a formative assessment and in role play scenarios in taught sessions with one first year pre-registration occupational therapy cohort. This cohort was surveyed via a questionnaire and in addition five students were interviewed. Subsequently a group of third year students, who role played clients for the OSCE, participated in a facilitated discussion on their perceptions of the OSCE. The data on students’ perceptions and an analysis and comparison of staff and student ratings of performance in the formative OSCE, were utilised in a critical evaluation of the use of this OSCE as a teaching and assessment tool. The findings indicate a level of agreement on the content of the OSCE checklist, providing content validity to this particular assessment. PPEds, and first and third year students are positive about the use of an OSCE when it is used as a formative experience. Students recommend that if used as a summative assessment the OSCE is combined with a reflective piece. Objective structured clinical examinations have long been established in other health care professions such as medicine and nursing. This project has provided evidence indicating that an OSCE of inter-personal communication skills is a valid assessment tool for occupational therapy pre-registration students, and that it can also facilitate student reflection, self-awareness and learning. It has also identified profession specific inter-personal communication skills required for embarking on a first PPE.

Special collections--Case studies

description: This paper attempts to highlight some of the challenges commonly encountered by archivists working with modern papers. For the purpose of the study, modern papers were defined as ones where the creator of the papers is still living or has died relatively recently. Five separate case studies of modern papers in the women's history, political, family, professional association, and literary genres were based on personal interviews with six practicing archivists. Findings indicate that modern papers, as compared to more historical ones, often translate to increased complexity in donor relations; issues of privacy, trust between archivist and donor, and ego are common. Physical concerns include a general increase in the size of collections, the likelihood of multiple accessions, and problematic special formats. Finally, the modern market for manuscript materials in general has become quite pricey, at times prohibitively so.
Nonlinear Evolution of a Baroclinic Wave and Imbalanced Dissipation
Creators: name: Nadiga, Balasubramanya T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the nonlinear evolution of an unstable baroclinic wave in a regime of rotating stratified flow that is of relevance to interior circulation in the oceans and in the atmosphere---a regime characterized by small large-scale Rossby and Froude numbers, a small vertical to horizontal aspect ratio, and no bounding horizontal surfaces. Using high-resolution simulations of the non-hydrostatic Boussinesq equations and companion integrations of the balanced quasi-geostrophic equations, we present evidence for a local route to dissipation of balanced energy directly through interior turbulent cascades. Analysis of simulations presented in this study suggest that a developing baroclinic instability can lead to secondary instabilities that can cascade a small fraction of the energy forward to unbalanced scales. Mesoscale shear and strain resulting from the hydrostatic geostrophic baroclinic instability drive frontogenesis. The fronts in turn support ageostrophic secondary circulation and instabilities. These two processes acting together lead to a quick rise in dissipation rate which then reaches a peak and begins to fall slowly when frontogenesis slows down; eventually balanced and imbalanced modes decouple. Dissipation of balanced energy by imbalanced processes scales exponentially with Rossby number of the base flow. We expect that this scaling will hold more generally than for the specific setup we consider given the fundamental nature of the dynamics involved. A break is seen in the total energy spectrum at small scales: While a steep $k^{-3}$ geostrophic scaling (where $k$ is the three-dimensional wavenumber) is seen at intermediate scales, the smaller scales display a shallower $k^{-5/3}$ scaling, reminiscent of the atmospheric spectra of Nastrom & Gage. At higher Ro, the vertical shear spectrum has a minimum, like in some relevant obervations

Bornmüller were listed in the protologue and are syntypes. We found five specimens, four at W and one at ERE, that are part of the original material. Three of these represent a single gathering and were collected by C. Kotschy (no. 345), and the other two represent a gathering by J. F. N. Bornmüller (no. 10124). All the plants mounted on these sheets match Deyl’s diagnosis. We here designate specimen W–0030326, collected by Kotschy, as the lectotype of the name Sesleria anatolica. The other Kotschy specimens, preserved at W and ERE, are isolectotypes. An annotation on the lectotype indicates that there are also duplicates of this collection at HUB and MO, but we were unable to find these specimens. They are also isolectotypes, if they exist.
 Taxonomy:— The name Sesleria anatolica is considered a synonym of S. alba (Valdés & Scholz 2009, Clayton et al. 2016).

Personal information management

description: A growing number of individuals are collecting, organizing, analyzing, and sharing information about their personal behaviors and experiences.  Numerous tools exist to assist this data collection, many of them applications designed for mobile devices.  To explore the design details of these applications, 100 iPhone applications for self-tracking were examined and measured by a set of eight criteria.  These criteria were then compared to user ratings, to determine their relative significance on user reaction to the applications.  The results of this model were mixed - seven of the eight criteria met hypothesized expectations, yet the overall predictive model for user ratings did not perform well.   This paper discusses some of these findings as well as some of the possible problems with the model, and explores areas for future research.
title: Finite-element methods for fourth-order problems and smectic A liquid crystals
Creators: name: Hamdan, Abdalaziz

description: In recent years, energy-minimization finite-element methods have been proposed for the computational modelling of equilibrium states of several types of liquid crystals (LCs) [4, 34, 110]. This thesis is particularly interested in the models of smectic A liquid crystals, based on the free-energy functionals proposed by Pevnyi, Selinger, and Sluckin [112], and by Xia et al. [138]. The Euler-Lagrange equations for these models include fourth-order terms acting on the smectic order parameter (or density variation of the LC) and second-order terms acting on the Q-tensor or director field. Thus, we first focus extensively on finite-element methods for fourth-order problems. These methods include (i) C¹-continuous elements with a nonsymmetric Nitsche-type penalty method to weakly impose the essential boundary conditions, (ii) a nonsymmetric version of the C⁰ interior penalty method, where the nonsymmetric forms are used to guarantee optimal convergence rates in terms of h ≤ 1 and q ≈ 40, where h and q are the refinement level and the smectic wavenumber that prescribes a preferred wavelength for the solution of 2π=q respectively, and (iii) mixed finite-element methods based on introducing the gradient of the solution as an explicit variable and constraining its value using a Lagrange multiplier, that are symmetric and allow us to strongly impose the essential boundary conditions. Preliminary experiments show that the mixed formulations may be advantageous over the other methods, in the sense that we can construct efficient preconditioners for these discretizations. Therefore, we consider a four-field formulation for models of smectic A liquid crystals, approximating the smectic order parameter, its gradient, the Lagrange multiplier, and the Q-tensor. Then, we focus on the construction of solvers for the nonlinear systems that result from the discretization of these models. We consider a Newton-Krylov- Multigrid approach, using Newton's method to linearize the systems, and developing monolithic geometric multigrid preconditioners for the resulting saddle-point systems with vertex-based patch relaxation schemes.
Reduction of Electronic Wavefunctions to Kohn-Sham Effective Potentials

description: A method for calculating the Kohn--Sham exchange-correlation potential, $v_\text{XC}(\mathbf{r})$, from a given electronic wavefunction is devised and implemented. It requires on input one- and two-electron density matrices and involves construction of the generalized Fock matrix. The method is free from numerical limitations and basis-set artifacts of conventional schemes for constructing $v_\text{XC}(\mathbf{r})$ in which the potential is recovered from a given electron density, and is simpler than various many-body techniques. The chief significance of this development is that it allows one to directly probe the functional derivative of the true exchange-correlation energy functional and to rigorously test and improve various density-functional approximations.

Subjects: Film and television adaptations--Evaluation
Film and television adaptations

description: This study tests the correlation of consumer reviews of novels and the films adapted from them to determine whether the rating of one media form can predict the rating of its partner film or novel. A data set of 1470 movie adaptations released between 1981 and 2000, and the novels from which they came is utilized, employing information from the Internet Movie Database and Amazon. The study finds a significant correlation between the two ratings, but a limited ability of that correlation to explain the full difference between the scores. Analysis of results defines a framework of 14 personal, creative, formal, and environmental differences between novel and film, and three key commonalities: narrative core, symbiotic effect, and comparative act. Related actions and recommendations for further research, particularly for librarians, are suggested.
Some Considerations on the ’s Morpheme in English: Acquisition and Theory
Creators: name: Di Domenico, Elisa
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2015

description: This article starts from the discussion of some data concerning the acquisition of English as a second language, which suggest that genitival ’s and copular ’s are considered one and the same morpheme by the experimental subjects. The ’s= is Hypothesis is then examined throughout some relevant linguistic literature. The examination of arguments in favour and against it leads to the proposal that ’s is indeed one and the same morpheme whose content is (third) person, in turn a quantificational feature which expresses denotation. In the final part of the paper extensions to plural -s and third person singular -s of lexical verbs are sketched.

description: This study in historical literacy investigates the reading of John Richard Edmunds (1807- 1873), a lawyer, legislator, and planter who lived in Halifax County, Virginia. The researcher has done a cross-disciplinary study in order to understand what Edmunds was likely to have read and what his library was likely to have contained. The paper summarizes some of the ideologies associated with the antebellum South such as Stoicism and Romanticism. It also gives a brief history of the printing industry and of periodicals in the South during this time period.

Word-Initial Geminates in Sardinian
Creators: name: Lai, Rosangela
Publisher: name: Quaderni di Linguistica e Studi Orientali
Year: 2015

description: It is reported to be uncommon for a language to display phonological contrasts between simplex and geminate obstruents: Italian and Japanese are among the few that do (Tsujimura 2007; Davis 2011). It is even less common for languages to display a phonological contrast of this kind in word-initial position. In this contribution, Sardinian is shown to be one such language. Word-initial geminates are identified through a range of diagnostics and are given an analysis in terms of the CVCV Theory (Lowenstamm 1996; Scheer 2004).

description: 8. Sesleria latifolia var. serpentinica Deyl (1946: 99)
 Lectotype (designated here):— BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. Vareš: Ad Podzarudje [Podzaruđe], solo serpentinico, 670 m, 12 June 1923, Maly s.n. (SARA-01506!) (Fig. 1).
 Protologue information:— Area: Bosna. Solo serpentinico. Velež ad Borovnica, Pinetum nigrae, 860 m s.m., 15.V.1921, leg. Malý; Podzarudje distr. Vareš, 670 m s.m., 12.VI.1923, leg. Malý.
 Nomenclature:— Having just a few specimens at his disposal while describing S. latifolia var. serpentinica, Deyl (1946: 99) expressed doubts about whether the observed morphological deviations were related to real taxonomical differences with respect to typical S. latifolia, or if these should be considered as cases of serpentinomorphoses, the result of morpho-anatomical adaptations to serpentine geological substrate (xeromorphous habitus, shorter convolute leaves). We located only one specimen of the original material, and designate it as the lectotype.
 Taxonomy:— Molecular and morpho-anatomical investigations aiming to clarify if this variety deserves taxonomic recognition are in progress. This variety is currently treated as a synonym of S. latifolia (Clayton et al. 2016).
