description: Experimental above-barrier fusion cross-sections for $^{17}$F + $^{12}$C are compared to the fusion excitation functions for $^{16,18}$O, $^{19}$F, and $^{20}$Ne ions on a carbon target. In comparing the different systems both the differing static size of the incident ions and changes in fusion barrier are accounted for by examining the reduced fusion cross-section. Remaining trends of the fusion cross-section above the barrier which reflect the sensitive interplay of the sd protons and neutrons are observed. The experimental data are also compared to both a widely-used analytical model of near-barrier fusion, as well as a time-dependent Hartree-Fock model. Both models fail to describe the trends observed.

description: Ferromagnetic insulators can induce a strong exchange field in an adjacent superconductor via the magnetic proximity effect. This manifests as spin-splitting of the BCS density of states of the superconductor, an important ingredient for numerous superconducting spintronics applications and the realization of Majorana fermions. A crucial parameter that determines the magnitude of the induced spin-splitting in FI/S bilayers is the thickness of the S layer $d$: In very thin samples, the superconductivity is suppressed by the strong magnetism. By contrast, in very thick samples, the spin splitting is absent at distances away from the interface. In this work, we calculate the density of states and critical field of FI/S bilayers of arbitrary thickness. From here, we determine the range of parameters of interest for applications, where the exchange field and superconductivity coexist. We compare our theory with the tunneling spectroscopy measurements in several EuS/Al/AlO$_x$/Al samples. If the Al film in contact with the EuS is thinner than a certain critical value, we do not observe superconductivity, whereas, in thicker samples, we find evidence of a first-order phase transition induced by an external field. The complete transition is preceded by a regime in which normal and superconducting regions coexist. We attribute this mixed phase to inhomogeneities of the Al film thickness and the presence of superparamagnetic grains at the EuS/Al interface with different switching fields. Our results demonstrate on the one hand, the important role of the S layer thickness, which is particularly relevant for the fabrication of high-quality samples suitable for applications. On the other hand, the agreement between theory and experiment demonstrates the accuracy of our theory, which, originally developed for homogeneous situations, is generalized to highly inhomogeneous systems.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study is based on the experiences of three teachers in a Vancouver elementary school who volunteered to participate with me in peer coaching cycles (Showers, 1982). The purpose of the study was to gain insight into peer coaching as a viable form of professional development It was hoped, that as each participant progressed through two cycles of peer coaching, he/she would experience professional growth. Data consisted of transcripts of pre- and post-observation conferences as well as my personal journal. This data was collected over a two year period, with each participant involved in two reciprocating cycles with myself. These reciprocating cycles consisted of a teacher observing a colleague and then being observed by that colleague. Prior to the observation the pair of teachers would meet for the pre-observation conference to determine the focus for the observation. Subsequent to the observation, the pair would meet again for the post-observation conference where the actual coaching would take place. The data was organized into individual stories and then analyzed for themes consistent with at least three of the individuals. Seven themes were indicated: forced reflection, building on ideas, physical presence, assistance with difficulties, validation, pride and the value of collaboration. The data was further compared to Showers' (1984) five major functions of peer coaching and the Vancouver School Board's goals for professional development. The findings of this study led to the general conclusion that peer coaching is indeed a viable form of professional development. It can stand alone as a method of professional growth.

description: Many food retailers perceive home meal replacements (HMR) or meal solutions as major opportunities for sales growth. These fully- or partially-prepared foods appear to solve growing consumer needs: lack of time, lack of skill, and lack of desire to prepare food. However, a recent financial review of the foodservice operations at 10 large supermarket chains found that the average store's prepared food operation was losing money. The study identified three important areas that supermarkets need to improve: product shrink, employee training, and promotion. These three areas are closely linked with the design and marketing of the HMR concept. To increase the profitability of their HMR programs, supermarkets and restaurants need to address the seven key "Ps" of HMR marketing: positioning, product, package, place, price, promotion, and people. This paper reviews these seven marketing issues and summarizes the lessons learned by early HMR providers.

description: Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime generated by the acceleration of astrophysical objects. A direct consequence of general relativity, they were first directly observed in 2015 by the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) observatories. I review the first five years of gravitational wave detections. More than fifty gravitational waves events have been found, emitted by pairs of merging compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes. These signals yield insights into the formation of compact objects and their progenitor stars, enable stringent tests of general relativity and constrain the behavior of matter at densities higher than an atomic nucleus. Mergers that emit both gravitational and electromagnetic waves probe the formation of short gamma ray bursts, the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements, and measure the local expansion rate of the Universe.

description: The popular impression that over half of our food does not come from a retail food (grocery) store is based on food expenditure data and is misleading. This research set out to learn where people obtain the food they report eating and to determine whether there are significant differences between people who buy most of their food from retail food stores and those who do not. Research on food consumption often focuses on household expenditures at retail food stores and various types of restaurants, but tracking the volume of various types of foods purchased from various retail places is not well established. The Continuing Survey of Food Intake of Individuals survey for 1994 showed that 72 percent of the volume of food consumed was from retail food stores. Age had the largest impact on where people shopped, and when and how many meals they ate. Income and household composition had relatively little impact. Cluster analysis grouped consumers based on where they obtained their food. The largest cluster, nearly half of the individuals, were labeled the Home Cookers. They obtained 93 percent of their food from stores and account for 59 percent of food sold from retail food stores. The High Service cluster is only 10 percent of the sample, but they consumed 50 percent of the food sold in restaurants and only 6 percent of food sold by grocers. Looking at the diets of people in the various clusters reveal that those in the Fast Food clusters ate less fat than the average of the sample while High Service (restaurant) users ate more fat. Home Cookers ate less than the average amount of meat, eggs, and vegetables.

These tests were performed in the context of a feasibility study of a hard X-ray focusing telescope for space astronomy with energy passband from 60 to 600 keV. The technique envisaged is that of using mosaic crystals in transmission configuration that diffract X-rays for Bragg diffraction (Laue lens). The Laue lens assumed has a spherical shape with focal length $f$. It is made of flat mosaic crystal tiles suitably positioned in the lens. The samples were grown and worked for this project at the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble (France), while the reflectivity tests were performed at the X-ray facility of the Physics Department of the University of Ferrara.

description: Higher union density (the percentage of employees in an area who belong to unions) is known to raise the wages of union members. We find that in the supermarket industry, higher density locally also leads to higher wages for non-union members. Despite this, workers who are not in unions lose ground relative to union members. For a 10% increase in local union densities in the supermarket industry it is estimated that the wages of union employees in that labor market will increase by 5.3% and by 1.2% for nonunion. Hence, the union wage premium will increase in regions with higher union densities. At the time of the last national examination of the retail industry in 1977, union influence in the retail food industry was near its peak. Subsequently union membership and influence have declined. In 1993 a reported 25.7% of supermarket employees listed themselves as union members, a decline from 29.4% in 1984 (NBER, 1995). After conducting an extensive review of wage estimation literature, we focus on the structure of wages in the supermarket industry between 1984 and 1993. The effect of union penetration in local markets on nonunion wages or the "spill-over" effect, is an important focus of this study. While it is widely accepted that the higher the union percentage in local labor markets the higher the wages for those in the union, the corresponding effect has not been closely examined for the nonunion sector. To investigate this phenomenon we first replicate as closely as possible the results of a previous supermarket wage study (Belman and Voos, 1993). Following a baseline comparison of this initial estimation, we enlarge the data set to include individuals in rural areas and from additional years. By using a more sophisticated estimation technique we find that increasing union densities positively affect union and nonunion wages. The significant results for the nonunion sector is of particular importance, as this is the first confirmation of this effect to the best of our knowledge.
The Effect of Behavioral Preventions and Interventions on Disruptive Behaviors in a First Grade Classroom

Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of The Good Behavior Game on the
frequency of disruptive behaviors that were exhibited in a classroom setting. This study utilized a
quasi-experimental design with a pre-measure, treatment, and post-measure and included 15
students enrolled in a Baltimore County public school. The participants in this study ranged in
age from 6-7 and were in first grade. The study hypothesized that participation in The Good
Behavior Game, which involved the students in establishing and following clearly stated rules
and provided incentives for success, would have no effect on the frequency of targeted disruptive
behaviors. These behaviors included not following directions, unnecessary talking, unnecessary
movement, and making noises. The hypothesis was rejected as all four targeted disruptive
behaviors decreased over the course of the study. Three out of four of the targeted disruptive
behaviors, excluding not following directions, decreased significantly over intervals of the study.
Further study of the usefulness of The Good Behavior Game and similar interventions appears
warranted.
FOOD PROCESSING FIRMS AND FOREIGN PRODUCTION INCENTIVES

description: As the practice of a firm in one country owning production facilities in another has increased, several theories have developed to explain why production facilities do not always have local owners who would presumably be more familiar with local business conditions. A transaction cost explanation is that a firm may have intangible assets that are sought in another country but that cannot be economically sold on account of market failure. In such a case the firm's expansion into the foreign country may be the most economical way for the foreign country to gain access to those assets. A few studies have identified firm characteristics and firm-specific assets associated with the international growth of food firms. The present paper expands on this work by interviewing executives in two product areas (processed meats and preserved fruit/vegetable products) to discover which assets the executives perceive as important and nontransferable through market channels (and thus applicable to the transaction cost approach). The assets of product development expertise, process management knowledge, and reputation appear to be key intangible assets associated with foreign production. A regression analysis tests determinants of foreign production of the two product categories by 17 US firms in 9 global regions, yielding results consistent with the interviews. That is, the probability of having foreign production plants is significantly enhanced by higher total firm sales, being in the processed fruits and vegetables business as opposed to processed meats and locating in higher income, Western Hemisphere and European Countries.
A Neyman-Pearson Approach to Universal Erasure and List Decoding
Creators: name: Moulin, Pierre
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: When information is to be transmitted over an unknown, possibly unreliable channel, an erasure option at the decoder is desirable. Using constant-composition random codes, we propose a generalization of Csiszar and Korner's Maximum Mutual Information decoder with erasure option for discrete memoryless channels. The new decoder is parameterized by a weighting function that is designed to optimize the fundamental tradeoff between undetected-error and erasure exponents for a compound class of channels. The class of weighting functions may be further enlarged to optimize a similar tradeoff for list decoders -- in that case, undetected-error probability is replaced with average number of incorrect messages in the list. Explicit solutions are identified. The optimal exponents admit simple expressions in terms of the sphere-packing exponent, at all rates below capacity. For small erasure exponents, these expressions coincide with those derived by Forney (1968) for symmetric channels, using Maximum a Posteriori decoding. Thus for those channels at least, ignorance of the channel law is inconsequential. Conditions for optimality of the Csiszar-Korner rule and of the simpler empirical-mutual-information thresholding rule are identified. The error exponents are evaluated numerically for the binary symmetric channel.

description: The layered 2D-material MoTe$_2$ in the T$_d$ crystal phase is a semimetal which has theoretically been predicted to possess topologically non-trivial bands corresponding to Weyl fermions. Clear experimental evidence by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is, however, lacking, which calls for a careful examination of the relation between ground state band structure calculations and ARPES intensity plots. Here we report a study of the near Fermi-energy band structure of MoTe$_2$(T$_d$) by means of ARPES measurements, density functional theory, and one-step-model ARPES calculations. Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained. We analyze the orbital character of the surface bands and its relation to the ARPES polarization dependence. We find that light polarization has a major efect on which bands can be observed by ARPES. For s-polarized light, the ARPES intensity is dominated by subsurface Mo d orbitals, while p-polarized light reveals the bands composed mainly derived from Te p orbitals. Suitable light polarization for observing either electron or hole pocket are determined

The source has a maximum detection significance of 14 sigma in the 20-100 keV energy range and exhibits a flux of 6.5 mCrab before it moves out of the ISGRI field of view. The source is visible to at least 150 keV and its spectrum can be fit with a power law slope of Gamma=2.1+/-0.17; a more physical model could not be fit due to poor statistics. Detected characteristics are consistent with the source being a Galactic low-mass X-ray binary harbouring a black hole or neutron star.

description: Variability studies are an important tool to investigate key properties of stars and brown dwarfs. From photometric monitoring we are able to obtain information about rotation and magnetic activity, which are expected to change in the mass range below 0.3 solar masses, since these fully convective objects cannot host a solar-type dynamo. On the other hand, spectroscopic variability information can be used to obtain a detailed view on the accretion process in very young objects. In this paper, we report about our observational efforts to analyse the variability and rotational evolution of young brown dwarfs and very low mass stars.

This study addresses the issue of risk aversion and energy supplement input use. Differences in supplementation practices induced by risk aversion and the effects of cattle and feed market conditions are examined. Results show that supplementation practices are likely to be similar across producers, irrespective of their risk attitudes. Cattle and feed market conditions, however, markedly affect supplementation practices. These findings provide information for assisting stockmen in identifying efficient supplement strategies.

description: A survey for line profile variability in early A-type stars has been performed in order to detect nonradial pulsation signatures. The star HR 6139, with spectral type A2V and estimated T_eff=8800 K, shows evident line profile variations that can be explained by oscillations in prograde g-modes. This feature and the known photometric variability are similar to those observed in the Slowly Pulsating B-type stars. However HR 6139 is much cooler than the cool border of the instability strip of such variables, and it is hotter than the blue edge of the delta Scuti instability strip. There are indications of a tiny variability also in other four objects, whose nature is not yet clear.

Implementing the internet into the ongoing teaching practice of secondary school teachers : a model of professional development
Creators: name: Spence, Jeffrey Donald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to develop an effective professional development model for teachers implementing the Internet into their high school classroom teaching and to uncover some of the barriers to implementation and the conditions that supported implementation. A case study was used to follow 14 teachers through their technology professional development. It was found that teacher time and access to the Internet were major barriers to implementation. Personal relevance, valid and useful information, and the teacher-librarians were instrumental conditions in the success of the professional development. A model for local, on-site professional development was created by taking pieces of existing models and combining them for success in this high school environment. Support was provided in-house and training occurred on-site with no release time for the teachers. Success came with teachers learning at their own pace with just-in-time suport in a familiar environment.

description: In recent studies, collaborative intelligence (CI) has emerged as a promising framework for deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based services on mobile/edge devices. In CI, the AI model (a deep neural network) is split between the edge and the cloud, and intermediate features are sent from the edge sub-model to the cloud sub-model. In this paper, we study bit allocation for feature coding in multi-stream CI systems. We model task distortion as a function of rate using convex surfaces similar to those found in distortion-rate theory. Using such models, we are able to provide closed-form bit allocation solutions for single-task systems and scalarized multi-task systems. Moreover, we provide analytical characterization of the full Pareto set for 2-stream k-task systems, and bounds on the Pareto set for 3-stream 2-task systems. Analytical results are examined on a variety of DNN models from the literature to demonstrate wide applicability of the results
Effects of Daily Mathematical Problem Solving Instruction on High School Special Education Students

Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of two variations of daily mathematical
word problem instruction on high school special education students in self-contained algebra
classes. One group of students received instruction on word problems that was designed around
student interests, while the other group received instruction using generic word problems from
the curriculum. The measurement tools were parallel 12 item pre- and posttests comprised of
items reflecting six major types of algebraic word problems. The pretest, given prior to
treatment, was followed by six weeks of instruction on mathematical problem solving using the
5-Step Problem Solving Plan. The posttest was given at the end of treatment. The results of the
study indicated that both groups of students showed gains in mathematical understanding and
written expression. However, there was no significant difference in mean achievement gains of
the students who were instructed using real life personalized problems and those who were
instructed using generic problems. Research should continue to assess ways to develop effective
strategies for improving the mathematical problem-solving skills of special education students.

description: A haloscope of the QUAX--$aγ$ experiment composed of an oxygen-free high thermal conductivity-Cu cavity inside an 8.1 T magnet and cooled to $\sim200$ mK is put in operation for the search of galactic axion with mass $m_a\simeq43~μ\text{eV}$. The power emitted by the resonant cavity is amplified with a Josephson parametric amplifier whose noise fluctuations are at the standard quantum limit. With the data collected in about 1 h at the cavity frequency $ν_c=10.40176$ GHz, the experiment reaches the sensitivity necessary for the detection of galactic QCD-axion, setting the $90\%$ confidence level limit to the axion-photon coupling $g_{aγγ}<0.639\times10^{-13}$ GeV$^{-1}$.

Dihadron azimuthal correlations in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV

description: Azimuthal angle (Delta phi) correlations are presented for a broad range of transverse momentum (0.4 < pT < 10 GeV/c) and centrality (0-92%) selections for charged hadrons from di-jets in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. With increasing pT, the away-side Delta phi distribution evolves from a broad and relatively flat shape to a concave shape, then to a convex shape. Comparisons to p+p data suggest that the away-side distribution can be divided into a partially suppressed head region centered at Delta phi ~ π, and an enhanced shoulder region centered at Delta phi ~ π\pm 1:1. The pT spectrum for the associated hadrons in the head region softens toward central collisions. The spectral slope for the shoulder region is independent of centrality and trigger pT . The properties of the near-side distributions are also modified relative to those in p + p collisions, reflected by the broadening of the jet shape in Delta phi and Delta eta, and an enhancement of the per-trigger yield. However, these modifications seem to be limited to pT < 4 GeV/c, above which both the dihadron pair shape and per-trigger yield become similar to p + p collisions. These observations suggest that both the away- and near-side distributions contain a jet fragmentation component which dominates for pT \ge 5GeV and a medium-induced component which is important for pT \le 4 GeV/c. We also quantify the role of jets at intermediate and low pT through the yield of jet-induced pairs in comparison to binary scaled p + p pair yield. The yield of jet-induced pairs is suppressed at high pair proxy energy (sum of the pT magnitudes of the two hadrons) and is enhanced at low pair proxy energy. The former is consistent with jet quenching; the latter is consistent with the enhancement of soft hadron pairs due to transport of lost energy to lower pT.

Timelessness strictly inside the Quantum Realm

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Time is one of the undisputed foundations of our life in the real world. Here it is argued that inside small isolated quantum systems, time does not pass as we are used to, and it is primarily in this sense that quantum objects enjoy only limited reality. Quantum systems, which we know, are embedded in the everyday classical world. Their preparation as well as their measurement-phases leave durable records and traces in the entropy of the environment. The Landauer Principle then gives a quantitative threshold for irreversibility. With double slit experiments and tunneling as paradigmatic examples, it is proposed that a label of timelessness offers clues for rendering a Copenhagen type interpretation of quantum physics more realistic and acceptable by providing a coarse but viable link from the fundamental quantum realm to the classical world which humans directly experience.

A Census of Object Types and Redshift Estimates in the SDSS Photometric Catalog from a Trained Decision-Tree Classifier

description: We have applied ClassX, an oblique decision tree classifier optimized for astronomical analysis, to the homogeneous multicolor imaging data base of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), training the software on subsets of SDSS objects whose nature is precisely known via spectroscopy. We find that the software, using photometric data only, correctly classifies a very large fraction of the objects with existing SDSS spectra, both stellar and extragalactic. ClassX also accurately predicts the redshifts of both normal and active galaxies in SDSS. To illustrate ClassX applications in SDSS research, we (a) derive the object content of the SDSS DR2 photometric catalog and (b) provide a sample catalog of resolved SDSS objects that contains a large number of candidate AGN galaxies, 27,000, along with 63,000 candidate normal galaxies at magnitudes substantially fainter than typical magnitudes of SDSS spectroscopic objects. The surface density of AGN selected by ClassX to i~19 is in agreement with that quoted by SDSS. When ClassX is applied to the photometric data fainter than the SDSS spectroscopic limit, the inferred surface density of AGN rises sharply, as expected. The ability of the classifier to accurately constrain the redshifts of huge numbers (ultimately ~ 10^7) of active galaxies in the photometric data base promises new insights into fundamental issues of AGN research, such as the evolution of the AGN luminosity function with cosmic time, the starburst--AGN connection, and AGN--galactic morphology relationships.

High Orbital Eccentricities of Extrasolar Planets Induced by the Kozai Mechanism
Creators: name: Takeda, G.
name: Rasio, F. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005

description: One of the most remarkable properties of extrasolar planets is their high orbital eccentricities. Observations have shown that at least 20% of these planets, including some with particularly high eccentricities, are orbiting a component of a wide binary star system. The presence of a distant binary companion can cause significant secular perturbations to the orbit of a planet. In particular, at high relative inclinations, a planet can undergo a large-amplitude eccentricity oscillation. This so-called "Kozai mechanism" is effective at a very long range, and its amplitude is purely dependent on the relative orbital inclination. In this paper, we address the following simple question: assuming that every host star with a detected giant planet also has a (possibly unseen, e.g., substellar) distant companion, with reasonable distributions of orbital parameters and masses, how well could secular perturbations reproduce the observed eccentricity distribution of planets? Our calculations show that the Kozai mechanism consistently produces an excess of planets with very high (e >0.6) and very low (e < 0.1) eccentricities. The paucity of near-circular orbits in the observed sample cannot be explained solely by the Kozai mechanism, because, even with high enough inclinations, the Kozai mechanism often fails to produce significant eccentricity perturbations when there are other competing sources of orbital perturbations on secular timescales, such as general relativity. On the other hand, the Kozai mechanism can produce many highly eccentric orbits. Indeed the overproduction of high eccentricities observed in our models could be combined with plausible circularizing mechanisms (e.g., friction from residual gas) to create more intermediate eccentricities (e=0.1-0.6).

When Band Convergence is Not Beneficial for Thermoelectrics

description: Band convergence is considered a clear benefit to thermoelectric performance because it increases the charge carrier concentration for a given Fermi level, which typically enhances charge conductivity while preserving the Seebeck coefficient. However, this advantage hinges on the assumption that interband scattering of carriers is weak or insignificant. With first-principles treatment of electron-phonon scattering in CaMg$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$-CaZn$_{2}$Sb$_{2}$ Zintl system and full Heusler Sr$_{2}$SbAu, we demonstrate that the benefit of band convergence can be intrinsically negated by interband scattering depending on the manner in which bands converge. In the Zintl alloy, band convergence does not improve weighted mobility or the density-of-states effective mass. We trace the underlying reason to the fact that the bands converge at one k-point, which induces strong interband scattering of both the deformation-potential and the polar-optical kinds. The case contrasts with band convergence at distant k-points (as in the full Heusler), which better preserves the single-band scattering behavior thereby successfully leading to improved performance. Therefore, we suggest that band convergence as thermoelectric design principle is best suited to cases in which it occurs at distant k-points.
