description: Stephen J. Caldas and his wife, Suzanne, wanted to rear their children, John, Stephanie, and Valerie, to be bilingual and biliterate in both English and French in order to move easily between two monolingual cultures— Louisiana, USA, their primary residence, and Québec, Canada, where the family usually spent summer vacations. This longitudinal study or “family project,” in the author’s words, lasted 19 years from the author’s children’s early childhood to their late adolescence and is documented in Raising Bilingual-Biliterate Children in Monolingual Cultures. By elaborately recounting the strategies that he and his wife used in their children’s linguistic development, the author hopes to enlighten parents who also intend to bring up their children bilingually. Additionally, many findings are certainly appealing to both educators and researchers, including those related to the issues of peer influence on linguistic development during adolescence, the construction of bilingual identities, and the changes in accents and perceptions of accents that occur.

description: We apply a first-principles computational approach to study a light-sensitive molecular switch. The molecule that comprises the switch can convert between a trans and a cis configuration upon photo-excitation. We find that the conductance of the two isomers vary dramatically, which suggests that this system has potential application as a molecular device. A detailed analysis of the band structure of the metal leads and the local density of states of the system reveals the mechanism of the switch.

description: Recasts, a type of implicit corrective feedback, are thought to be capable of drawing learners’ attention to mismatches between their non-target-like items and the corresponding target forms. While a great many studies have tried to compare the effectiveness of recasts, few have attempted to determine whether learners actually notice the language forms used in the recasts. The present study has sought to bridge this gap by investigating the extent to which beginning learners actually notice the morphological and syntactic changes that occur in recasts of their non-target-like utterances in the context of dyadic oral interaction. The participants in the study, two Korean beginning learners of English, received intensive recasts of their morphological and syntactic errors over a period of four months. Learner responses were taken as the primary indication of noticing, which is viewed in this study as “what is both detected and then further activated following the allocation of attentional resources” (Robinson, 1995, p. 297). Results suggest that the learners’ noticing was constrained not only by the number of changes in the recasts, but also by the linguistic domains of those changes. Issues related to the study’s findings, such as working memory capacity and perceptual salience, are discussed.

description: In this paper, we discuss a voting model in which voters can obtain information from a finite number of previous voters. There exist three groups of voters: (i) digital herders and independent voters, (ii) analog herders and independent voters, and (iii) $\tanh$-type herders. In our previous paper [1], we used the mean field approximation for case (i). In that study, if the reference number $r$ is above three, phase transition occurs and the solution converges to one of the equilibria. However, the conclusion is different from mean field approximation. In this paper, we show that the solution oscillates between the two states. A good (bad) equilibrium is where a majority of $r$ select the correct (wrong) candidate. In this paper, we show that there is no phase transition when $r$ is finite. If the annealing schedule is adequately slow from finite $r$ to infinite $r$, the voting rate converges only to the good equilibrium. In case (ii), the state of reference votes is equivalent to that of Kirman's ant colony model, and it follows beta binomial distribution. In case (iii), we show that the model is equivalent to the finite-size kinetic Ising model. If the voters are rational, a simple herding experiment of information cascade is conducted. Information cascade results from the quenching of the kinetic Ising model.As case (i) is the limit of case (iii) when $\tanh$ function becomes a step function, the phase transition can be observed in infinite size limit. We can confirm that there is no phase transition when the reference number $r$ is finite.

description: In this paper, I explore the construct of second language (L2) writing ability within the context of large-scale writing assessment. As L2 writing theory is based in part on the previously established field of first language (L1) writing, I provide a brief discussion of seminal contributions from this related field before summarizing and critiquing a few early L2 writing studies. This discussion includes the process-product debate in writing research and identifies the inadequacies of applying L1 process definitions to a construct definition of L2 writing ability. After drawing a distinction between L2 and L1 writing ability, I summarize several empirical studies in L2 writing research, noting how these contribute to our current understanding of the nature of the construct. I conclude by suggesting what remains to be explored in the quest for a more complete construct definition of L2 writing ability. Specifically, I claim that a complete model of L2 writing ability must indicate (a) how L2 writing ability is distinct from other types of L2 knowledge, and (b) how L2 proficiency and writing ability interact.

description: A theoretical framework for the description of Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) spreading processes with synergistic transmission of infection on a lattice is developed. The model incorporates explicitly the effects of a time-dependent environment on the transmission of infection between hosts. Exact solution of the model shows that time-dependence of the neighbourhood of recipient hosts is a key factor for synergistic spreading processes. It is demonstrated that the higher the connectivity of a lattice, the more prominent is the effect of synergy on spread.
Airplane Takeoff Performance

description: In this paper a general equation for calculating the takeoff performance of landplanes is developed in terms of the usual airplane parameters.

The analysis enables the ground effect, wind and atmospheric conditions, altitude, and the use of flaps to be taken into account.  A simple and rapid method is presented for the determination of the best flap angle to be used for takeoff.

Variation in takeoff performance due to changes in any of the airplane or engine-propeller characteristics is readily determined through the introduction of a new takeoff acceleration parameter.

A method for calculating the propeller speed, engine power, and thrust variation for both fixed-pitch and constant-speed propellers is included, and a new significance is given to the thrust versus square of velocity curve for takeoff computations.

Examples are included to illustrate the use of the analysis in solving the various takeoff problems.

description: This qualitative study examined six second language preservice teachers’ active learning processes through exploring their information processing when accessing background knowledge. The study utilized a constructivist view of teacher learning which acknowledges the complexity of real-life learning as part of which teachers make a variety of decisions regarding the information to be learned and the processing and use of that information based on their previous knowledge, experiences, and the context at hand. It is the interplay between cognitive and constructive learning processes, that is, what the learner and context bring into the picture of learning that this study set out to investigate in regard to teacher learning. The findings point to the complex nature of this cognitive process of accessing background knowledge where teachers first engage in locating a piece of knowledge and then making decisions about how to use that knowledge. The context seemed to play an important role in this process, in that teachers would make a decision, often unconscious, about using a piece of knowledge they had located, based on their affective reactions to the context, for example, their students, curriculum, and other teachers. Often teachers would act against what they knew to be the best way to react because of their strong emotional response to the situation.

description: We investigate single-particle properties of a mass-imbalanced Fermi gas in the BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer)-BEC (Bose-Einstein condensation) crossover region. In the presence of mass imbalance, we point out that the ordinary $T$-matrix approximation, which has been extensively used to clarify various BCS-BEC crossover physics in the mass-balanced case, unphysically gives a double-valued solution in terms of the superfluid phase transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ in the crossover region. To overcome this serious problem, we include higher order strong-coupling corrections beyond the $T$-matrix level. Using this extended $T$-matrix theory, we calculate single-particle excitations in the normal state above $T_{\rm c}$. The so-called pseudogap phenomena originating from pairing fluctuations are shown to be different between the light mass component and heavy mass component, which becomes more remarkable at higher temperatures. Since Fermi condensates with hetero-Cooper pairs have recently been discussed in various fields, such as exciton (polariton) condensates, as well as color superconductivity, our results would be useful for the further development of Fermi superfluid physics, beyond the conventional superfluid state with homo-Cooper pairs.

description: This collection of articles by teacher-researchers debunks the conventional myth of a monolithic U.S. Latino community by revealing the inter- and intra-group diversity of language socialization patterns, cultural and linguistic attitudes, and literacy practices among Latinos. The eleven chapters of Building on Strength: Language and Literacy in Latino Families and Communities present case studies of Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican, Cuban, and Central American families in various regions of the country. These are preceded by an insightful introduction by editor and linguist Ana Celia Zentella (University of California, San Diego) who reviews the current situation of Latinos in the U.S., argues for a language socialization focus in the study of first and second language acquisition, and explains the anthropolitical perspective on language and literacy which served as the intellectual impetus for the volume.

Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.
title: Revisiting fire following earthquake modelling for Wellington City

description: Fires are a common secondary hazard following earthquakes and, on rare occasions, can develop into major events with severe consequences. Wellington City has many characteristics that make it susceptible to fire following earthquake (FFE), including the potential for conflagrations and significant losses (e.g. property, infrastructure and casualties). Through the ‘It’s Our Fault’ research programme, we are revisiting FFE modelling for Wellington City, building on the previous models developed by Cousins et al. (2002). We have developed a relative FFE risk map, which identifies areas that may warrant increased attention. These are locations where both ignition and fire spread are more likely; however, FFE could occur anywhere in Wellington City. Through a literature review of globally available models, we have identified and applied an ignition model that enables the probability of ignition to be estimated for individual buildings, which is essential for fire spread modelling. The fire spread model now includes both wind speed and direction, which is a significant improvement on the previous static model (Cousins et al. 2002). Stochastic modelling utilising both the spread and ignition models and varying input parameters can produce loss and impact results across many potential scenarios. One hundred simulation runs of a Wellington Fault magnitude 7.5 earthquake scenario were performed for this study, which provide a preliminary indication of the distribution of loss and impacts for FFE in Wellington City. The average number of ignitions per scenario was 34. The stochastic modelling results show a lognormal distribution of losses. The median scenario loss is $1.49 billion (ranging between $0.55 billion and $17.65 billion at 95% confidence); however, nearly 20% of scenarios had estimated losses exceeding $4 billion. A median loss for a single burn zone (the extent of fire spread following an ignition) of $24 million (ranging between $0.5 million and $670 million at 95% confidence) indicates the potential benefit of suppressing a single ignition. Examination of the relationship between wind speed and loss shows a strong correlation. For wind speeds over 25 km/h, an increase of 10 km/h in wind speed is associated with ~$4 billion of increased loss. This indicates that by considering the weather conditions following an earthquake event, a rapid assessment of the threat from FFE could be undertaken. Future work will involve refinement and validation of the modelling and processing a greater number of simulation runs to produce stable results. The FFE modelling is informed by frequent feedback from key stakeholders, and future efforts will continue to be directed towards improving the understanding of FFE risk in Wellington City and supporting risk reduction initiatives. The refined model will be integrated into the RiskScape 2.0 software. (auth)

description: The habitability and functionality of buildings following earthquake events has a significant impact on the recovery process. Understanding the factors that influence levels of post-event habitability and functionality can assist in identifying areas for improvement in risk reduction and resilience and allows for improved modelling of social impacts. We developed an online survey to gather data from individuals that had experienced recent earthquake events in New Zealand. Broadly, questions were asked regarding the following categories: the earthquake event and personal experience, characteristics of the building that is being reported on, description of the building damage and utility outage, the relocation decisions made, and demographic information. We ran the survey from November 2018 to May 2019, and we received 147 completed responses. The majority of survey responses were regarding the impacts of the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake and the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence, and most responses (over 80%) were regarding residential buildings. The frequency of responses was weighted towards lower levels of building damage. Relating building damage to utility outage time enabled the development of a cumulative density function for predicting electricity outage time, which can be used for impact modelling. The function is an example of what can be created using the type of data collected in the survey. The main reasons respondents moved out of buildings were building damage, disruption to utilities and fear of being in the building. This finding is in line with experiences from overseas events reported in the literature. Displaced residents tend to prefer to stay close to their original location and are out of their buildings for a wide variety of timeframes (close to a third do not return). The most common reasons respondents cited for returning to their building were restoring normal routine, restoration of utilities, being allowed to return, and feeling safe enough to return. The main limitations of the survey and results are due to the relatively small sample sizes for many questions, and the inability to account for all demographics, meaning the population may not be fully represented. The insights provided by the results of this survey are useful as a beginning step towards quantification of the social impacts of earthquakes in the built environment. Targeted data collection and efforts towards obtaining larger sample sizes have the potential to produce very useful datasets. Once developed into predictive functions, modelling of earthquake impacts could be significantly improved. (auth)

description: Protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) is an evolutionarily conserved and essential Ser/Thr phosphatase that regulates cell division, development and DNA repair in eukaryotes. The major form of PP4, present from yeast to human, is the PP4c-R2-R3 heterotrimeric complex. The R3 subunit is responsible for substrate-recognition via its EVH1 domain. In typical EVH1 domains, conserved phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan residues form the specific recognition site for their target's proline-rich sequences. Here, we identify novel binding partners of the EVH1 domain of the Drosophila R3 subunit, Falafel, and demonstrate that instead of binding to proline-rich sequences this EVH1 variant specifically recognizes atypical ligands, namely the FxxP and MxPP short linear consensus motifs. This interaction is dependent on an exclusively conserved leucine which replaces the phenylalanine invariant of all canonical EVH1 domains. We propose that the EVH1 domain of PP4 represents a new class of the EVH1 family that can accommodate low proline content sequences, such as the FxxP motif. Finally, our data implicate the conserved Smk-1 domain of Falafel in target-binding. These findings greatly enhance our understanding of the substrate-recognition mechanisms and function of PP4.

description: We use large hybrid simulations to study ion acceleration and generation of magnetic turbulence due to the streaming of particles that are self-consistently accelerated at non-relativistic shocks. When acceleration is efficient, we find that the upstream magnetic field is significantly amplified. The total amplification factor is larger than 10 for shocks with Alfvénic Mach number $M=100$, and scales with the square root of $M$. The spectral energy density of excited magnetic turbulence is determined by the energy distribution of accelerated particles, and for moderately-strong shocks ($M\lesssim30$) agrees well with the prediction of resonant streaming instability, in the framework of quasilinear theory of diffusive shock acceleration. For $M\gtrsim30$, instead, Bell's non-resonant hybrid (NRH) instability is predicted and found to grow faster than resonant instability. NRH modes are excited far upstream by escaping particles, and initially grow without disrupting the current, their typical wavelengths being much shorter than the current ions' gyroradii. Then, in the nonlinear stage, most unstable modes migrate to larger and larger wavelengths, eventually becoming resonant in wavelength with the driving ions, which start diffuse. Ahead of strong shocks we distinguish two regions, separated by the free-escape boundary: the far upstream, where field amplification is provided by the current of escaping ions via NRH instability, and the shock precursor, where energetic particles are effectively magnetized, and field amplification is provided by the current in diffusing ions. The presented scalings of magnetic field amplification enable the inclusion of self-consistent microphysics into phenomenological models of ion acceleration at non-relativistic shocks.

description: We study the measurement device independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) in practice with limited resource, when there are only 3 different states in implementing the decoy-state method. We present a more tightened explicit formula to estimate the lower bound of the yield of two-single-photon pulses. Moreover, we show that the bounding of this yield and phase flip error of single photon pulse pairs can be further improved by using other constraints which can be solved by a simple and explicit program. Results of numerical simulation for key rates with both the improved explicit formula and the program are presented. It shows that the results obtained with our methods here can significantly improve the key rate and secure distance of MDI QKD with only three intensities.

description: This essay studies the methodology and findings of two historical novels by Willa Cather, The Professor's House and Death Comes for the Archbishop. It begins by comparing Cather's historical approach with that of Herbert Bolton, a pioneer of hemispheric history and a possible prototype for the academic protagonist of The Professor's House. The essay then proceeds by considering Cather's depiction of the US-Mexico borderlands in Death Comes for the Archbishop from a Boltonian perspective, finding the novel to be a portrait of the American mind as it suppresses, evades, and otherwise comes to terms with the realities of its post-1848 imperialism.

description: This article analyzes the historical methodology of Theodore Dreiser’s “Trilogy of Desire,” which includes his novels The Financier, The Titan, and The Stoic. Focusing on the novels’ depictions of the American economy in the second half of the nineteenth century, the article demonstrates how Dreiser’s treatments of the period did and did not resemble those of professional historians and contemporary business writers. Dreiser is shown to be studying the American past from a variety of perspectives, including scientific, evolutionary, spiritual, and mythical ones. The article ultimately concludes that Dreiser’s Trilogy argues for a diverse, multi-disciplinary approach to history writing, and that it suggests the genre of the novel is an especially effective instrument of retrospection.

Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

O Cant: Singing the Race Music of Jean Toomer's Cane
Creators: name: Graham, Thomas Austin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Spirituals (Songs)
Music in literature
Race relations
Music
Comparative literature

description: This essay considers Jean Toomer's Cane from a musicological perspective and discusses the text's musical poetics with an ear toward 1920s discussions of African American folk culture, preservationism, and the mediation of song. At the time of Cane's publication, Toomer's poems -- modeled on African American spirituals -- could be appreciated and sung by readers of various ethnic backgrounds. This essay argues that their musicality and performability were ultimately intended to promote interracial empathy and to elide racial difference.

description: Ultrashort pulsed laser processing is well known for the precise removal of target tissue with less thermal effect which may be used as a non-invasive tool for tooth preparation in dentistry. However, optimizing the laser processing conditions beforehand is imperative to avoid excessive loss of tissue, preventing necrosis and nerve damage. The present work proposes a heat conduction model to simulate the femtosecond laser ablation profile and temperature field on the dental hard tissues (enamel and dentin). The model is developed based on the finite element simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The present model is validated on enamel and dentin samples by comparing with the in vitro studies. The laser-tissue interaction is simulated for the dental hard tissues of 1.00 mm thickness using 2D heat conduction model. In order to compare the simulation results, a single scan laser irradiation experiments were carried out using 800 nm, 100 fs, Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser at the scanning speed of 10 mm/s and repetition rate of 10 kHz. The surface morphology of the irradiated samples is measured by optical profiler and SEM images. The simulation and experimental results are compared and discussed. The proposed femtosecond laser ablation model can be used to understand the real-time ablation dynamics and also, to determine the temperature field as well as the ablation profile. The simulation can be handful tool for the clinician to optimise the laser processing conditions thus it will improve the precision of the laser surgery and reduce the nerve damage during tooth preparation.
The Slaveries of Sex, Race, and Mind: Harriet Beecher Stowe's 'Lady Byron Vindicated'
Creators: name: Graham, Thomas Austin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: African American--Civil rights
Women's rights
Slavery
Women's studies
Comparative literature

description: This article addresses Stowe's notorious 1869 exposé of incest and the Byron marriage, in the contexts of racial and sexual slavery. In studying her inflammatory claims, the article demonstrates an important shift in Stowe's thought, as she works to redefine her understanding of the institution of "slavery" and expands its definition, applying it to the condition of women in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Drag correlation for dilute and moderately dense fluid-particle systems using the lattice Boltzmann method
Creators: name: Bogner, Simon

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents a numerical study of flow through static random assemblies of monodisperse, spherical particles. A lattice Boltzmann approach based on a two relaxation time collision operator is used to obtain reliable predictions of the particle drag by direct numerical simulation. From these predictions a closure law $F(Re, φ)$ of the drag force relationship to the bed density $φ$ and the particle Reynolds number $Re$ is derived. The present study includes densities $φ$ ranging from $0.01$ to $0.35$ with Re ranging up to $300$, that is compiled into a single drag correlation valid for the whole range. The corelation has a more compact expression compared to others previously reported in literature. At low particle densities, the new correlation is close to the widely used Wen & Yu - correlation. Recently, there has been reported a discrepancy between results obtained using different numerical methods, namely the comprehensive lattice Boltzmann study of Beetstra et al. (2007) and the predictions based on an immersed boundary - pseudo-spectral Navier-Stokes approach (Tenneti et al., 2011). The present study excludes significant finite resolution effects, which have been suspected to cause the reported deviations, but does not coincide exactly with either of the previous studies. This indicates the need for yet more accurate simulation methods in the future.

description: Novels of the early twentieth century frequently asked readers to bring their musical knowledge to bear upon fiction, thereby creating an inventive, multisensory experience. This article studies the phenomenon, and discusses F. Scott Fitzgerald as an early practitioner of “the literary soundtrack” -- a series of identifiable, well-known pieces of music that punctuate plots and are intended to be listened to in conjunction with the reading act.
Modeling the Dynamics of Infectious Diseases in Different Scale-Free Networks with the Same Degree Distribution

description: The transmission dynamics of some infectious diseases is related to the contact structure between individuals in a network. We used five algorithms to generate contact networks with different topological structure but with the same scale-free degree distribution. We simulated the spread of acute and chronic infectious diseases on these networks, using SI (Susceptible - Infected) and SIS (Susceptible - Infected - Susceptible) epidemic models. In the simulations, our objective was to observe the effects of the topological structure of the networks on the dynamics and prevalence of the simulated diseases. We found that the dynamics of spread of an infectious disease on different networks with the same degree distribution may be considerably different.
