description: The first-principles electronic structure calculations made substantial contribution to study of high $T_c$ iron-pnictide superconductors. By the calculations, LaFeAsO was first predicted to be an antiferromagnetic semimetal, and the novel bi-collinear antiferromagnetic order was predicted for $α$-FeTe. Moreover, based on the calculations the underlying mechanism was proposed to be Arsenic-bridged antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction between the next-nearest neighbor Fe moments. In this article, this physical picture is further presented and discussed in association with the elaborate first-principles calculations on LaFePO. The further discussion of origin of the magnetism in iron-pnictides and in connection with superconductivity is presented as well.

description: In this paper we report what happens to a pristine oxide junction Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3/SrTi0.95Nb.05O3 (PCMO/Nb:STO), when it is subjected to cycling of voltage bias of moderate value ({\pm}4V). It is found that the initial cycling leads to formation of a permanent state of lower resistance where the lower resistance arises predominantly due to development of a shunt across the device film (PCMO). On successive voltage cycling with increasing magnitude, this state transforms into states of successive lower resistance that can be transformed back to the initial stable state on cycling to below a certain bias. A simple model based on p-n junction with shunt has been used to obtain information on the change of the junction on voltage cycling. It has been shown that the observation can be explained if the voltage cycling leads to lowering of barrier at the interface and also reduction in series resistance. It is suggested that this lowering can be related to the migration of oxygen ions and vacancies at the junction region. Cross-sectional imaging of the junction shows formation of permanent filamentary bridges across the thickness of the PCMO after the pristine p-n junction is first taken through a voltage cycle, which would explain appearance of a finite shunt across the p-n junction.

Mapping a new locus for non-syndromic strabismus with high-throughput genome analysis
Creators: name: Ye, Xin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Eye misalignment, called strabismus, occurs in up to 5% of individuals. While misalignment is frequently observed in rare complex syndromes, the majority of strabismus cases are non-syndromic. Over the past decade, genes and pathways associated with syndromic forms of strabismus have emerged, but the genes contributing to non-syndromic strabismus remain elusive. Non-syndromic strabismus is highly heterogeneous, and different loci have been inferred from previous genetics studies. Only a single strabismus locus, STBMS1, on chromosome 7 has been confirmed in more than one family, but the reported inheritance patterns of this locus with disease conflict and no specific variant has been proposed. Here, I analyzed a large non-consanguineous family with multiple individuals affected by strabismus across seven generations. The hypothesis is that a single variant is responsible for the non-syndromic strabismus in this particular family displaying dominant patterns of inheritance. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed to uncover large- blocks of variations within protein-coding regions of the genome shared by two affected distant relatives. In parallel, chromosome regions segregating with the strabismus phenotype in the family were identified using linkage analysis on 12 individuals. Linkage analysis identified one specific risk locus of high confidence. Based on the lack of protein-coding alterations in the locus, whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed to find additional shared candidate causal variants. Combining the available information, a 10 Mb region on chromosome 14 was identified with high confidence that it was associated with strabismus, within which a set of potential regulatory sequence alterations have been highlighted for further study. This study represents the first identified locus for autosomal dominant, non- syndromic, strabismus. The project utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS), linkage analysis, and bioinformatic analyses to prioritize and select both coding and non-coding variants, demonstrating the effectiveness of combining NGS and classical genetic approaches. The research findings improve our understanding of strabismus genetics and defines multiple paths for future research, family-specific genetic testing for early diagnosis, and consequent preventive therapy.
Quantum entanglement and quantum phase transition in the XY model with staggered Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

description: We study the quantum entanglement and quantum phase transition (QPT) of the anisotropic spin-1/2 XY model with staggered Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction by means of quantum renormalization group method. The scaling of coupling constants and the critical points of the system are obtained. It is found that when the number of renormalization group iterations tends to infinity, the system exhibit a QPT between the spin-fluid and Néel phases which corresponds with two saturated values of the concurrence for a given value of the strength of DM interaction. The DM interaction can enhance the entanglement and influence the QPT of the system. To gain further insight, the first derivative of the entanglement exhibit a nonanalytic behavior at the critical point and it directly associates with the divergence of the correlation length. This shows that the correlation length exponent is closely related to the critical exponent, i.e., the scaling behaviors of the system.

description: We present H and Ks-band photometry bracketing the secondary eclipse of the hot Jupiter TrES-3b using the Wide-field Infrared Camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. We detect the secondary eclipse of TrES-3b with a depth of 0.133+/-0.017% in Ks-band (8-sigma) - a result in sharp contrast to the eclipse depth reported by de Mooij & Snellen. We do not detect its thermal emission in H-band, but place a 3-sigma limit on the depth of the secondary eclipse in this band of 0.051%. A secondary eclipse of this depth in Ks requires very efficient day-to-nightside redistribution of heat and nearly isotropic reradiation, conclusion that is in agreement with longer wavelength, mid-infrared Spitzer observations. Our 3-sigma upper-limit on the depth of our H-band secondary eclipse also argues for very efficient redistribution of heat and suggests that the atmospheric layer probed by these observations may be well homogenized. However, our H-band upper limit is so constraining that it suggests the possibility of a temperature inversion at depth, or an absorbing molecule, such as methane, that further depresses the emitted flux at this wavelength. The combination of our near-infrared measurements and those obtained with Spitzer suggest that TrES-3b displays a near isothermal dayside atmospheric temperature structure, whose spectrum is well approximated by a blackbody. We emphasize that our strict H-band limit is in stark disagreement with the best-fit atmospheric model that results from longer wavelength observations only, thus highlighting the importance of near-infrared observations at multiple wavelengths in addition to those returned by Spitzer in the mid-infrared to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the energy budgets of transiting exoplanets.

description: Pulsars are powerful sources of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. This paper highlights some theoretical insights into non-thermal, magnetospheric pulsar gamma-ray radiation. These advances have been driven by NASA's Fermi mission, launched in mid-2008. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument on Fermi has afforded the discrimination between polar cap and slot gap/outer gap acceleration zones in young and middle-aged pulsars. Altitude discernment using the highest energy pulsar photons will be addressed, as will spectroscopic interpretation of the primary radiation mechanism in the LAT band, connecting to both polar cap/slot gap and outer gap scenarios. Focuses will mostly be on curvature radiation and magnetic pair creation, including population trends that may afford probes of the magnetospheric accelerating potential.

Representations of Trauma, Memory-layered pictures and repetitive play in art therapy with children
Creators: name: Case, Caroline
Publisher: name: Art Therapy Online
Year: 2015

description: This article explores some common themes that emerge in the therapy of traumatised children where memory of significant events in their lives is not consciously or verbally available to them or the therapist. Children may initially present layered pictures and/or play repetitive scenarios either in the sand tray or with toys. The layered pictures are gradually unpacked in therapy as trust and a sense of containment develop. The play is at first unusual in that it has little accompanying emotion and is told as a story that often peters out with no clear ending. Events in the therapy room between child and therapist or sometimes events in the child’s life outside the therapy may be a catalyst for moments of re-living the trauma which is given words and becomes available to be thought about together and then the presenting symptoms ease.

These themes will be demonstrated through discussion of the therapy of a boy age seven. Those who work with children in areas of inner city deprivation and social exclusion will be familiar with this kind of presentation. His struggles with traumatic memory and to achieve an active sense of self emerging from a protective relationship with his mother will be discussed with particular attention to the changing transference initially to the images, in play to the therapist as maternal object and to the therapist as paternal object. This article follows on other recent writing exploring images and enactments in therapeutic relationships (Case 2009; Case 2009a submitted for publication).

Art Therapy Studio Project

description: Over the course of the last year I have had a number of very interesting conversations with colleagues about the spaces we work in as art therapists. These discussions have often revolved around the contested nature of these spaces and how they may be compared with those art therapists previously occupied. It would appear that the passing of the years has not necessarily been kind to art therapists, or our clients in relation to this.

This set me thinking about what we have and what we have lost. It may be, for instance, that we do not yet fully understand the impact the loss of dedicated studio spaces, and the increasing use of multi-functional rooms shared with other professionals has had up on art therapy. So far as I am aware, there has been no co-ordinated attempt to document and record for posterity the environments within which the practice of art therapy currently takes; or has taken place in the past.

Oedipus Rex (Reclaiming the Myth)

description: Keywords: Oedipus, Animation, Installation, Narrative, Digital, Technology, Art Therapy.

This workshop used as its theme and starting point the Sophocles’ play Oedipus Rex (Sophocles 1988) and took place at the University of Hertfordshire in 2008. The workshop was open to anyone from all of the arts therapies, though only art therapists actually attended the workshop which ran over the course of 2 days.

Central to the workshop was in making art using multi media techniques including animation, installation, sound, puppets and more traditional methods such as drawing and painting. The participants were very much encouraged to make work in response to the story rather than try and ”˜illustrate’ it in a way that is linear and rational. I wanted a personal engagement with the story and not an intellectual analysis of the possible meanings within the narrative. I hoped that by working in this way the participants would almost place themselves in the story and thus come to a deeper and more personal understanding of it via a visual, poetic, physical, emotional and collaborative process.

With great power comes great responsibility : China's dilemma in responding to humanitarian crises
Creators: name: Skaf, Joëlle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The People’s Republic of China has increasingly been asserting its role as a responsible power in international affairs, emphasizing its engagement in and contribution to UN peacekeeping missions and its key role as a veto-yielding Security Council member. This thesis investigates that while China continues to champion a strong conception of state sovereignty in interstate relations, it has signaled a shift from an ideological insistence on non-interference toward a more pragmatic approach to humanitarian crises. This paper demonstrates how after 2005 China has managed to position itself in a ‘grey zone’ of uncertainty, that is to say that China’s dilemma is wanting to appear responsible on the international level but also wanting to adhere to safe principles such as non-interference and sovereignty. Therefore, it is my argument that China will never fully endorse R2P or any alternative norm that will justify foreign intervention in a sovereign state. While China continues to show support for alternative formulas for civilian protection, such as the Brazilian ‘Responsibility while Protecting’ (RwP), as well as develop its own version of R2P, ie. ‘Responsible Protection’ (RP), it is not to turn “words into deeds” but rather to keep up with appearances. China’s current position on responding to humanitarian crises is ambiguous. The principles behind RP represent a very useful conceptual approach to the issue of humanitarian protection, but the probability of implementing them is virtually non-existent. RP indicates that China has been more responsive to external criticisms in recent years, but does not fundamentally help to discern where China stands on responding to humanitarian crises. Because of RP’s tight criteria, China ensures that in practice no intervention can ever fully be justified, while appearing to advance more ‘responsible’ approaches to civilian protection as its great-power status and privileged position as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council permit it to do so.

Holotype ♂, Karayama, Ishigaki Island, Japan (Bernise Bishop Museum) Cryptoperla ishigakiensis: Uchida & Isobe, 1988 Material examined. Japan, Ryukyu Islands, Ishigaki Island, Omoto-sawa, August 1974, K. Tanida, 1 ♂, 1 ♀ (BPS). Remarks. This material, provided by S. Uchida, represents the second known collection of this species. Kawai (1968b) described the species from a single male; we now add descriptions for the female and egg. Female. Forewing length 9 mm. General color yellow brown without distinctive pattern. Subgenital plate parabolic, covering most of sternum 9 (Fig. 25). Lateral bars obscure on sternum 9. Egg. Chorion covered with elaborate scales but with broadly rounded sessile collar (Fig. 11). Scales (mostly broken in Figs. 11-12) only slightly wider at apex than at base; apical scales near anterior pole with a single prominent keel extending from base to near apex; some scales located near collar with two prominent keels. Micropyles located on scales adjacent to collar. Chorion between scales covered with fine processes. Diagnosis. The female and egg of this species are similar to C. formosana from the nearby island of Taiwan (Stark & Sivec 2007), and to the Japanese species, C. japonica (Uchida & Isobe 1988), but the subgenital plate is longer than in either of these species, and is less rounded than C. formosana and less triangular in outline than C. japonica. The egg differs slightly from both in having one or two prominent keels on the chorionic scales which approach the scale apex; in C. japonica the scale keels are poorly developed (Uchida & Isobe 1988) and in C. formosana they are well developed only at the scale bases (Stark & Sivec 2007).

description: Impressive advances in acquisition and sharing technologies have made the growth of multimedia collections and their applications almost unlimited. However, the opposite is true for the availability of labeled data, which is needed for supervised training, since such data is often expensive and time-consuming to obtain. While there is a pressing need for the development of effective retrieval and classification methods, the difficulties faced by supervised approaches highlight the relevance of methods capable of operating with few or no labeled data. In this work, we propose a novel manifold learning algorithm named Rank Flow Embedding (RFE) for unsupervised and semi-supervised scenarios. The proposed method is based on ideas recently exploited by manifold learning approaches, which include hypergraphs, Cartesian products, and connected components. The algorithm computes context-sensitive embeddings, which are refined following a rank-based processing flow, while complementary contextual information is incorporated. The generated embeddings can be exploited for more effective unsupervised retrieval or semi-supervised classification based on Graph Convolutional Networks. Experimental results were conducted on 10 different collections. Various features were considered, including the ones obtained with recent Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT) models. High effective results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method on different tasks: unsupervised image retrieval, semi-supervised classification, and person Re-ID. The results demonstrate that RFE is competitive or superior to the state-of-the-art in diverse evaluated scenarios.

description: Toad skin has many pharmacological activities and bufadienolides are regarded as its main anti-tumor components. The poor water solubility, high toxicity, rapid elimination and less selectivity in vivo of bufadienolides limit the application of toad skin. Based on the “unification of drugs and excipients” theory, the toad skin extracts (TSE) and Brucea javanica oil (BJO) nanoemulsions (NEs) were designed to solve the aforementioned problems. BJO as the main oil phase was not only used to prepare the NEs, but played a synergistic therapeutic role combined with TSE. TSE-BJO NEs showed 155 nm particle size, entrapment efficiency of >95% and good stability. TSE-BJO NEs demonstrated superior anti-tumor activity compared with the TSE or BJO NEs alone. The mechanism of TSE-BJO NEs to enhance the antineoplastic efficacy involved several pathways, such as inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing tumor cell apoptosis >40% and arresting cell cycle at G2/M. TSE-BJO NEs could co-deliver drugs into the target cells efficiently and exhibit satisfying synergism. Besides, TSE-BJO NEs facilitated the long circulation of bufadienolides contributing to the high accumulation of drugs at tumor sites and the improvement of anti-tumor efficacy. The study achieves the combinative administration of the toxic TSE and BJO with high efficacy and safety.

description: The influence of the dynamical Stark shift on the thermal entanglement and the efficiency of the quantum Otto cycle is studied for the su(1,1) Tavis-Cummings system. It is shown that the degree of the thermal entanglement becomes larger as the dynamical Stark shift increases. In contrast, the efficiency of the Otto cycle is degraded with an increase of the values of dynamical Stark shift. Expressions for the efficiency coefficient are derived. Using those expressions we identify the maximal efficiency of the quantum Otto cycle from the experimentally measured values of the dynamical Stark shift

description: A measurement of the top-antitop production cross section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV has been performed at the LHC with the CMS detector. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns and is based on the reconstruction of the final state with one isolated, high transverse-momentum electron or muon and three or more hadronic jets. The kinematic properties of the events are used to separate the top-antitop signal from W+jets and QCD multijet background events. The measured cross section is 173 + 39 - 32 (stat. + syst.) pb, consistent with standard model expectations.

description: Ultracold atomic physics offers myriad possibilities to study strongly correlated many-body systems in lower dimensions. Typically, only ground state phases are accessible. Using a tunable quantum gas of bosonic cesium atoms, we realize and control in one dimensional geometry a highly excited quantum phase that is stabilized in the presence of attractive interactions by maintaining and strengthening quantum correlations across a confinement-induced resonance. We diagnose the crossover from repulsive to attractive interactions in terms of the stiffness and the energy of the system. Our results open up the experimental study of metastable excited many-body phases with strong correlations and their dynamical properties.

description: Drawing upon archival and interview material Part 1 of this extended paper describes the early life and work of the Cuban artist Antonia Eiríz Vásquez from 1951 to 1968. Eiríz’s artistic background, her influences and the political climate following the Revolution as it impacted upon her work are described. This material provides a background to her later involvement in community art as the founder of el arte popular (popular arts) which is described and developed in Part 2. In Part 2 reference to the broader history of the development of art therapy in Cuba is made and Eiríz positioned as a ”˜forerunner’ of a particular strand of community based practice (Ben-David and Collins, 1966, p. 450). However, in Part 1, the focus rests on Antonia Eiríz Vásquez, the artist, and the events that paved the way to what was to come. In this manner I hope to demonstrate that her involvement with el arte popular (popular arts), as outlined in Part 2, was not a digression but rather an extension of her creative work which is what she herself always maintained.

description: We show that a spin-polarized Landau level in a two-dimensional electron gas can carry a spin-triplet supercurrent between two spin-singlet superconductors. The supercurrent results from the interplay of Andreev reflection and Rashba spin-orbit coupling at the normal--superconductor (NS) interface. We contrast the current-phase relationship and the Fraunhofer oscillations of the spin-triplet and spin-singlet Josephson effect in the lowest Landau level, and find qualitative differences.

Atomistic simulations of solute-interface interactions in iron
Creators: name: Jin, Hao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The kinetics of the recrystallization and austenite-ferrite (fcc-bcc) phase transformation in steels are markedly affected by substitutional alloying elements. Nevertheless, the detailed mechanisms of their interaction with the grain boundaries and interfaces are not fully understood. Using density functional theory, we determine the segregation energies of commonly used alloying elements (e.g. Nb, Mo, Mn, Si, Cr, Ni) in the Σ5 (013) tilt grain boundary in bcc and fcc Fe, and the bcc-fcc interfaces. We find a strong interaction between large solutes (e.g. Nb, Mo and Ti) and grain boundaries or interfaces that is consistent with experimental observations of the effects of these alloying elements on delaying recrystallization and the austenite-to-ferrite transformation in low-carbon steels. In addition, we compute the solute-solute interactions as a function of solute pair distance in the grain boundaries and interfaces, which suggest co-segregation for these large solutes at intermediate distances in striking contrast to the bulk. Besides the prediction of solute segregation, the self- and solute-diffusion in Fe-based system are also investigated within a framework combining density functional theory calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Good agreement between our calculations and the measurements for self- and solute diffusion in bulk Fe is achieved. For the first time, the effective activation energies and diffusion coefficients for various solutes in the α-Fe Σ5 (013) grain boundary are determined. The results demonstrate that grain boundary diffusion is significantly faster than for lattice diffusion, confirming grain boundaries are fast diffusion paths. By contrast, the effective activation energy of self-diffusion in a bcc-fcc Fe interface is close to the value of fcc bulk self-diffusion, and the investigated bcc-fcc interface provides a moderate "fast diffusion" path.

Una Trayectoria Tropical (1ª Parte): Vida y Obra de Antonia Eiriz

description: Basándose en material de archivo y entrevistas, la primera parte de este artículo describe los comienzos de la vida y obra de la artista cubana Antonia Eiriz Vásquez de 1951 a 1968. En esta parte se describen los antecedentes artísticos de Eiriz así como sus influencias y el impacto que el clima político después de la Revolución tuvo en su trabajo. Estos datos proporcionan el contexto de su participación en el arte comunitario como fundadora del arte popular, que se describe y desarrolla en la segunda parte. En la segunda parte se hace referencia a la historia más general del desarrollo del arte terapia en Cuba y se sitúa a Eiriz como ”˜precursora’ de un determinado tipo de actividad comunitario (Ben-David and Collins, 1966, p.450). Sin embargo, la primera parte se centra en Antonia Eiriz Vásquez, la artista, y a los acontecimientos que prepararon el terreno para lo que sucedería más adelante. De este modo espero demostrar que su participación en el arte popular, tal como se explica resumidamente en la segunda parte, no fue una digresión sino una extensión de su trabajo creativo, algo que ella siempre mantuvo.

Convivencia: a medieval idea with contemporary relevance
Creators: name: Wood, Chris
Publisher: name: Art Therapy Online
Year: 2015

description: This paper was first inspired by medieval Moorish architecture and by the word convivencia; the literal translation of which is living together and mingling. The Spanish word conjures the possibilities for living well when ideas are shared and when there is tolerance. It is used to describe the cultural flowering that occurred in medieval Spain, when the ruling Muslim Caliphates promoted tolerance, and when Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived well alongside one another. This history seems to show how mental health might be sustained in cities.

The impact of urbanization, migration and poverty upon mental health services, are considered in the light of how art therapy has developed and what it might contribute, however modestly. The case is made for drawing creatively upon knowledge developed during successive periods of the profession’s history. The paper suggests that it could be wasteful of growing professional knowledge to espouse practice based on only one strand of what is a rich history. It concludes by expressing the hope for further integration, or convivencia, in the current period of art therapy development.

Key words: Art therapy, convivencia, mental health, migration, poverty, and therapeutic adaptation

description: The chiral-odd transversity generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the nucleon can be accessed experimentally through the exclusive photoproduction process gamma + N -> pi + rho + N', in the kinematics where the meson pair has a large invariant mass and the final nucleon has a small transverse momentum, provided the vector meson is produced in a transversally polarized state. We calculate perturbatively the scattering amplitude at leading order in alpha_s. We build a simple model for the dominant transversity GPD H_T(x,xi,t) based on the concept of double distribution. We estimate the unpolarized differential cross section for this process in the kinematics of the Jlab and COMPASS experiments. Counting rates show that the experiment looks feasible with the real photon beam characteristics expected at JLab@12 GeV, and with the quasi real photon beam in the COMPASS experiment.

description: We calculate the single particle spectral density of a normal (non-superfluid) two component gas of fermions in the BCS-BEC crossover within a T-matrix approximation. We review how non-condensed pairs lead to a spectral density reminiscent of the ordered state, and explore how a gap-like feature in the spectrum evolves as one changes the polarization of the gas. As the gas is polarized we find that this pseudogap becomes more diffuse and moves away from the Fermi level, reflecting the fact that fewer pairs are present but that they still play an important role in the excitations.

description: Due to a huge volume of information in many domains, the need for classification methods is imperious. In spite of many advances, most of the approaches require a large amount of labeled data, which is often not available, due to costs and difficulties of manual labeling processes. In this scenario, unsupervised and semi-supervised approaches have been gaining increasing attention. The GCNs (Graph Convolutional Neural Networks) represent a promising solution since they encode the neighborhood information and have achieved state-of-the-art results on scenarios with limited labeled data. However, since GCNs require graph-structured data, their use for semi-supervised image classification is still scarce in the literature. In this work, we propose a novel approach, the Manifold-GCN, based on GCNs for semi-supervised image classification. The main hypothesis of this paper is that the use of manifold learning to model the graph structure can further improve the GCN classification. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first framework that allows the combination of GCNs with different types of manifold learning approaches for image classification. All manifold learning algorithms employed are completely unsupervised, which is especially useful for scenarios where the availability of labeled data is a concern. A broad experimental evaluation was conducted considering 5 GCN models, 3 manifold learning approaches, 3 image datasets, and 5 deep features. The results reveal that our approach presents better accuracy than traditional and recent state-of-the-art methods with very efficient run times for both training and testing.
Connecting children to the ocean : understanding elementary students' changes in ocean literacy during a marine aquarium summer camp experience
Creators: name: Kim, Jong-Mun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Relatively little research has been carried out on how to increase ocean literacy among students from diverse sociocultural backgrounds in both formal and informal educational contexts. To contribute to the pressing need for research in this important area, this study employed a mixed methods approach and examined changes in elementary students’ (Grades 3 to 5) ocean literacy during a five-day summer camp (AquaCamps) experience provided by the Vancouver Aquarium. A specially developed survey questionnaire, interview protocol, in-camp observations, and document analysis methods were used to collect data on the characteristics of changes in students’ ocean literacy as well as the influences of AquaCamps and other life experiences on the changes in their marine science knowledge and orientations (naturalistic, aesthetic, recreational, utilitarian, and negativistic). Quantitative analysis of the survey data revealed appreciable changes in students’ marine science knowledge and in their orientations. In particular, students’ marine science knowledge and naturalistic, aesthetic, and recreational orientations increased while utilitarian and negativistic orientations decreased after participating in AquaCamps. Qualitative data analysis elucidated AquaCamps program components that influenced these changes. The analysis also revealed additional sources including family members and multimedia, which affected changes in students’ ocean literacy. A noteworthy finding of this study is students’ limited understanding of their connections to the ocean and marine organisms as a whole. This study highlights the need for marine education to focus on building individual student’s ocean literacy by (1) helping individual students to explicitly understand how they are connected to ocean/marine organisms and (2) providing individual students with opportunities to build emotional connections to ocean/marine organisms through direct encounters. This study’s findings have implications for theory and practice in the field of marine education and provide a basis for offering suggestions on ways marine aquarium education might foster students’ ocean literacy.

description: A major challenge in realizing antiferromagnetic (AF) and superfluid phases in optical lattices is the ability to cool fermions. We determine the equation of state for the 3D repulsive Fermi-Hubbard model as a function of the chemical potential, temperature and repulsion using unbiased determinantal quantum Monte Carlo methods, and we then use the local density approximation to model a harmonic trap. We show that increasing repulsion leads to cooling, but only in a trap, due to the redistribution of entropy from the center to the metallic wings. Thus, even when the average entropy per particle is larger than that required for antiferromagnetism in the homogeneous system, the trap enables the formation of an AF Mott phase.
