description: Costelytra giveni is a serious pasture pest in New Zealand and accurate estimates of population densities are important to inform control measures. This species generally has a one-year life cycle so populations should either remain stable after eggs have hatched or decline due to larval mortality. Larval counts were obtained using a simple, standard and widely used sampling method from a series of soil cores collected from ryegrass research plots in Canterbury, New Zealand between 27 January and 16 June 2021 and a significant increase in population was recorded. Measurements on 27 January, 19 March and 5 May, represented only c. 8%, 25% and 63% of the mean densities measured on 16 June, respectively. The apparent increase in larvae is attributed to failure to find small 1st and 2nd instar individuals within the soil samples. Larvae increased in size as they transitioned from 1st to 3rd instar and later instar specimens were more easily discovered. An equation to describe the observed results provided date-related correction factors to allow a more realistic prediction of C. giveni larval densities in the winter following empirical larval counts. Larval counts measured on 27 January, 19 March, and 5 May, would need to be multiplied by 13, 4 and 1.6, respectively, to accurately estimate the larval density found on 16 June. This study showed that summer-autumn sampling using the current method can significantly underestimate winter C. giveni larval densities, potentially leading to unanticipated pasture production losses. Similar results were also found in 2022. While the equation provides a guide to population estimates, the caveat is that region and environment will influence population trends in any particular year.

description: This project was to create a web site, Pediatrics Special Collection (http://www.uncle.unc.edu/uncle/collections/pediatrics/pediatrics.htm), for the University of North Carolina Health Sciences Library to meet the information needs of pediatric residents at UNC.  The site became available on February 4, 2000.  Observations of rounds, informal interviews of residents and attending pediatricians, a survey, and a searching behaviors of the residents.  The survey, conducted from September to November, 1999, measured the percentage of cases for whom the residents sought out published information.  The survey will be administered again in Fall 2000 to measure any change in this statistic as a result of having this site available to residents.  The site includes a list of frequently used resources, a comprehensive list of resources, and information searching tips for pediatrics.  A Java Script was used to provide resource descriptions during mouseovers.
The Guru-Disciple Relationship in Diaspora

description: Gurus claim that they are able to act as mediators to put disciples on the path of spiritual development in diaspora. This study aims to investigate this claim, researching the hypothesis ‘that changing cultural environments in the United Kingdom, compared to those of the Indian sub-continent, requires a different model of the guru-chela (guru-disciple), relationship?’ In effect it seeks to test the differences, based on the stability and sustainability of the relationship in diaspora? This claim was endorsed by psychotherapist, J S Neki (1973), in a meeting in America and was published in The Journal of Ortho-psychiatry Volume 3. It discusses the possibility of the ‘guru-chela (disciple) relations’ acting as a model for ‘therapeutic care for the Hindu patient in diaspora.’ This research aims to examine critically the effectiveness of the guru-disciple relationship in light of changes the gurus have made in the delivery and quality of instructions they provide and the changes in the disciples’ aspirations in the new environment. The study investigates the meeting ground for science-based western psychotherapy and intuition-based spirituality. Both subjects deal with pastoral care components for their respective respondents, but are diametrically opposed in their approaches. The research sample in the study, are taken from Leicester, where the researcher is based, as the area provides a diverse group in the Heart of Hindu England, through which to examine the guru-disciple phenomena in diaspora.

description: The upper power limit of linear response of light trap detectors was recently measured [2,3]. We have completed this measurement with test of traps with bias voltage at several visible wavelengths using silicon photodiodes Hamamatsu S1337 1010 and made a brief test of S5227 1010. Bias extends the linearity limit by factor of more than 10 for very narrow beams and more than 30 for wide beams [5]. No irreversible changes were detected even for the highest irradiance of 33 W/cm2 at 406nm. Here we present measurement of minimal bias voltage necessary for 99%, 99.8% and 99.95% linearity for several beam sizes.

description: In an era marked by a demographic change towards an older population, there is an urgent need to improve nutritional monitoring in view of the increase in frailty. This research aims to enhance the identification of meal-taking activities by combining K-Means, GMM, and DBSCAN techniques. Using the Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI) for the optimal meal taking activity clustering, the results show that K-Means seems to be the best solution, thanks to its unrivalled efficiency in data demarcation, compared with the capabilities of GMM and DBSCAN. Although capable of identifying complex patterns and outliers, the latter methods are limited by their operational complexities and dependence on precise parameter configurations. In this paper, we have processed data from 4 houses equipped with sensors. The findings indicate that applying the K-Means method results in high performance, evidenced by a particularly low Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI), illustrating optimal cluster separation and cohesion. Calculating the average duration of each activity using the GMM algorithm allows distinguishing various categories of meal-taking activities. Alternatively, this can correspond to different times of the day fitting to each meal-taking activity. Using K-Means, GMM, and DBSCAN clustering algorithms, the study demonstrates an effective strategy for thoroughly understanding the data. This approach facilitates the comparison and selection of the most suitable method for optimal meal-taking activity clustering.

description: We theoretically study the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction between magnetic impurities in both Dirac and Weyl semimetals (SMs). We find that the internode process, as well as the unique three-dimensional spin-momentum locking, has significant influences on the RKKY interaction, resulting in both a Heisenberg and an Ising term, and an additional Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya term if the inversion symmetry is absent. These interactions can lead to rich spin textures and possible ferromagnetism in Dirac and time-reversal symmetry-invariant Weyl SMs. The effect of anisotropic Dirac and Weyl nodes on the RKKY interaction is also discussed. Our results provide an alternative scheme to engineer topological SMs and shed new light on the application of Dirac and Weyl SMs in spintronics.

description: What is generally known as the "Bloch--Srinivas method" consists of decomposing the diagonal of a smooth projective variety, and then considering the action of correspondences in cohomology. In this note, we observe that this same method can also be extended to singular and quasi--projective varieties. We give two applications of this observation: the first is a version of Mumford's theorem, the second is concerned with the Hodge conjecture for singular varieties.

description: We predict Bose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity of dipolar excitons, formed by electron-hole pairs in spatially separated gapped hexagonal $α-T_{3}$ (GHAT3) layers. In the $α-T_{3}$ model, the AB-honeycomb lattice structure is supplemented with C atoms located at the centers of the hexagons in the lattice. We considered the $α-T_{3}$ model in the presence of a mass term which opens a gap in the energy dispersive spectrum. The gap opening mass term, caused by a weak magnetic field, plays the role of Zeeman splitting at low magnetic fields for this pseudospin-1 system. The band structure of GHAT3 monolayers leads to the formation of two distinct types of excitons in the GHAT3 double layer. We consider two types of dipolar excitons in double-layer GHAT3: (a) ``A excitons'', which are bound states of electrons in the conduction band (CB) and holes in the intermediate band (IB) and (b) ``B excitons'', which are bound states of electrons in the CB and holes in the valence band (VB). The binding energy of A and B dipolar excitons is calculated. For a two-component weakly interacting Bose gas of dipolar excitons in a GHAT3 double layer, we obtain the energy dispersion of collective excitations, the sound velocity, the superfluid density, and the mean-field critical temperature $T_{c}$ for superfluidity.

Our goal is to enhance our understanding, first of what each thinks of the other, and subsequently, of the mutual expectations conditioning the modes and forms of encounter and communication between immigrant parents and teachers characteristic of the school setting. We also use this analysis of parent and teacher reflections to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the dominant cultural model in Italy of ‘effective home-school interaction’ and to provoke a quest for new practices.

Die Kongresspartei ist aus diesen Wahlen überraschenderweise als Siegerin hervorgegangen. Genauso überraschend war es, dass die „Identitätspolitiken“ und die Linke, die sich zu einer „Dritten Front“ zusammengeschlossen hatten, sehr schlecht abgeschnitten haben. Die Gründe hierfür liegen klar auf der Hand. Die „Identitätspolitiker“ gehören im Großen und Ganzen zu den korruptesten Politikern in Indien. Die gehen davon aus, dass sie von ihren Kasten und ihren Gemeinschaften unterstützt werden. Ihre Führer sind in einem unerhörten Maße korrupt. Sie praktizieren Vetternwirtschaft im großen Maßstab, unterstützen Kriminelle und sie haben kein Programm wie z.B. Landreform oder die Befähigung ihrer Gemeinschaften mit konstitutionellen Mitteln, sondern sie zeichnen sich durch eine inadäquates und die Politik schädigendes unmoralisches Verhalten aus.

description: The asymptotic regimes of the N-site complex Toda chain (CTC) with fixed ends related to the classical series of simple Lie algebras are classified. It is shown that the CTC models have much richer variety of asymptotic regimes than the real Toda chain (RTC). Besides asymptotically free propagation (the only possible regime for the RTC), CTC allow bound state regimes, various intermediate regimes when one (or several) group(s) of particles form bound state(s), singular and degenerate solutions. These results can be used e.g., in describing the soliton interactions of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Explicit expressions for the solutions in terms of minimal sets of scattering data are proposed for all classical series B_r - D_r.

Towards Patterns for Heaps and Imperative Lambdas

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Programming Languages (cs.PL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In functional programming, point-free relation calculi have been fruitful for general theories of program construction, but for specific applications pointwise expressions can be more convenient and comprehensible. In imperative programming, refinement calculi have been tied to pointwise expression in terms of state variables, with the curious exception of the ubiquitous but invisible heap. To integrate pointwise with point-free, de Moor and Gibbons extended lambda calculus with non-injective pattern matching interpreted using relations. This article gives a semantics of that language using ``ideal relations'' between partial orders, and a second semantics using predicate transformers. The second semantics is motivated by its potential use with separation algebra, for pattern matching in programs acting on the heap. Laws including lax beta and eta are proved in these models and a number of open problems are posed.

description: The incorporation of immigrated populations into catalan classrooms has generated an opportunity to detect weaknesses in the early childhood educational system, specifically relating to children between the ages of three to five. The article discusses the relationship between school and immigrant families throughout teacher discourse analysis. For such, methodological foundations on «video-cued multivocal ethnography» have been applied. Focus group discussions have been carried out in four early childhood education schools. Data analysis has detected three large topics of study having direct impact in the incorporation of children of immigrant origins: the pedagogical principles in early childhood education, the vehicular language of learning in a bilingual environment and the relationship between school and families. Focussing on this last topic, the article argues the need for a more collaborative culture between families (native and immigrant) and schools, entailing not only emphasis in communication but also its contents. Ethical concerns regarding permission and anonymity have been taken into consideration in the investigation.

Quantum Walk on the Line through Potential Barriers

description: Quantum walks are well-known for their ballistic dispersion, traveling $Θ(t)$ away in $t$ steps, which is quadratically faster than a classical random walk's diffusive spreading. In physical implementations of the walk, however, the particle may need to tunnel through a potential barrier to hop, and a naive calculation suggests this could eliminate the ballistic transport. We show by explicit calculation, however, that such a loss does not occur. Rather, the $Θ(t)$ dispersion is retained, with only the coefficient changing, which additionally gives a way to detect and quantify the hopping errors in experiments.

description: We propose a compact and explicit expression for the solutions of the complex Toda chains related to the classical series of simple Lie algebras g. The solutions are parametrized by a minimal set of scattering data for the corresponding Lax matrix. They are expressed as sums over the weight systems of the fundamental representations of g and are explicitly covariant under the corresponding Weyl group action. In deriving these results we start from the Moser formula for the A_r series and obtain the results for the other classical series of Lie algebras by imposing appropriate involutions on the scattering data. Thus we also show how Moser's solution goes into the one of Olshanetsky and Perelomov. The results for the large-time asymptotics of the A_r -CTC solutions are extended to the other classical series B_r - D_r. We exhibit also some `irregular' solutions for the D_{2n+1} algebras whose asymptotic regimes at t ->\pm\infty are qualitatively different. Interesting examples of bounded and periodic solutions are presented and the relations between the solutions for the algebras D_4, B_3 and G_2 $ are analyzed.

Electronic records

description: The study is an introduction into the debate of whether or not minimal processing, based upon the recent work by Mark Greene and Dennis Meissner, can be used in the processing of electronic records. With the recent publication of a "More Product, Less Process" approach by Mark Greene and Dennis Meissner, minimal processing of archival collections has received increased attention in the professional literature. Greene and Meissner posit that a change in archival philosophy toward processing collections at a less precise level will allow archivists to arrange analog collections at a faster pace and help to eliminate their processing backlog. Through an examination of the literature in the field and a comparison of the analog and electronic records media, I have determined that the processing of electronic records can be done according to the minimal processing protocols that are being examined for use in traditional archival collections.

description: Our contribution is as theoretical and methodological reflection on the specific phenomenon of new immigrant, interfaith families. Some questions were asked about this matter: what happens within these families? Are identity and origin of each parent important predictors of children’s educational models? Which of the two lineages prevails: motherhood or fatherhood? What paths of parenting? Are there differences of gender? These questions will have only partial answers in this reflection; however, our aim is to develop a pedagogical model of the phenomenon, through the description of an educational practice. In terms of education quality, the first question that arises is to bring together these multiplicities and differences within an educational model, whose characteristics of stability, consistency and functionality may help to avoid the risk of confusion and disorientation in subjects who live in real-life complex situations.

Though studies have been done about the characteristics of online or distance education students, the characteristics of MOOC students are less known to researchers beyond demographics and participation statistics. Likewise, the implications of MOOC's for librarians who will need to support this new community of are widely unknown. A survey of learning preferences,motivations, and resource needs and uses of MOOC students in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Metadata MOOC in Fall 2013 determined that, though learning preferences exist, participants enrolled in this course were predominantly Independent and Participant with similar needs across learning styles despite different learning preferences. Participants are also motivated by professional interest and intellectual curiosity and would welcome additional materials in order to further explore MOOC topics.

description: Family-school collaboration is a crucial element in achieving optimum scholastic experience on the part of pupils. Such collaboration is often described in somewhat reductive binary collaboration/non-collaboration terms. However, the significant presence of families from different cultural backgrounds in Italy since the 1990s demonstrates how multiple styles of relationships with schools can generate effective forms of collaboration. This paper analysed the case of family-school collaboration in infant schools in Milan, a privileged location where such dynamics can be investigated. Based on intercultural education approach and on in-depth interviews to infant school teachers and parents of pupils coming from different backgrounds, this research investigated different obstacles and resources that influence family-school relations. Results suggest that instead of an approach based just on cultural aspects, socio-economic, structural and interpersonal factors should be considered when approaching family-school relationship.

description: This paper refers to the multicultural society in regard to a pedagogical awareness and planning. This planning aims to design an integration which could overshoot the extreme opposites of separatism and social absorption, avoiding chances of deculturation as well. The Rom and Sinti integration will be discussed both on the basis of the specific legislation on the immigration field, and of social and cultural characteristics of these communities (with particular reference to family structures, language and work). The analysis of a qualitative inquiry allows to research about the contradiction and coherence factors within the field of primary and secondary socialization, of cultural transmission and relations, in regard to educational contexts within or outside school, to parents and teachers and educators. The point of view is lifelong and lifewide education through an integrated educational system.

description: Educators and teachers should meet parents of foreign origin right from the initial stages in order to create positive relations, reciprocal trust and the premises for sharing the responsibilities of the children’s education, between people from different backgrounds who have divergent cultural references, speak different languages, and have different ways of regarding themselves and understanding one another. The article analyzes the qualitative interviews carried out with pre-school educators and kindergarten teachers in Bologna regarding the quality of communication, the practices for welcoming families of foreign origin, and the relational modalities currently adopted.

description: The analisys considers the Italian situation related the foreing pupils presence and extends reflections and projects to a general vision of school’s activities interpretated as a ‘friendly’ school. These expression want to understand a school of all and for all. And this involves to realize a school serious and meanwhile able to welcome, marked with high levels of communications where the dialogue among all subjects, inside and outside school, is promoted and supported. It requires, particularly, to pass from parents as ‘user’ to parents as ‘partner’: a very difficult itinerary ever more complex with migrant families where the problems in general thicken for a weak Italian language’s knowledge and poor economic’s and time’s availability. At the right moment, it is opportune to mention some good pratices realised in our Country where the school-family connection is often widened to associations and local autorities and the school becomes point of reference in a system of alliance.

Famiglie immigrate e scuola dell’infanzia. Confronto interculturale e intesa progettuale
Creators: name: De Canale, Barbara

Year: 2015

description: The growth process of immigrant children is suspended between two worlds, that of the country of origin – represented by the family – and that of the host society – represented primarily by the school. These two worlds, not infrequently, are characterized by values, lifestyles, norms, traditions, languages, symbols profoundly different. So that the child can structure plural belonging, result of coherent interconnections between the various cultural references, it is necessary to create an authentic relationship between family and kindergarten, based on intercultural dialogue of each other’s representations and on the sharing and negotiation of relational patterns and educational styles. Essential dimensions of this comparison are the conceptions of childhood, the ideas of hoped and promoted development, the care practices adopted, the representations of the role played by education, the configuration of the learning process.

description: This paper examines the design of digital libraries for children as measured against studies done on children and web design, internet searching, and use of digital libraries. Eight "digital libraries" for children were evaluated and analyzed according to those features deemed most important by the researchers of the literature. Emphasis is given on navigation design and structure/arrangement of the literature in the collections, compared to the age ranges of children for whom they are intended. The International Children's Digital Library is the only website that conforms to nearly all of the recommended criteria as it is the direct result of research. It and the other libraries are given ways on which they can improve.
Il successo scolastico dei giovani figli dell’immigrazione: il ruolo della famiglia come capitale sociale

description: Compared to the processes of social integration of young people from immigrant families, the family as an index of social capital can be configured both as a promotional resource and as a negative agent with respect to the results of success or failure in school and more deeply to the processes of inclusion or exclusion. The diversity of family models and of migration experiences does not always guarantee the necessary conditions of containment and support in the growth process. Factors such as insecurity, loneliness, the trauma of migration can adversely affect the life paths. Politics and society must take charge of equalization of future Italian citizens and school acts as a driver of inclusion and support to students but also to their families, through opportunities for active participation.

Qualitative change in structural dynamics of some glass-forming systems

description: Analysis of temperature dependence of structural relaxation time in supercooled liquids revealed a qualitatively distinct feature - a sharp, cusp-like maxumum in the second derivative of its logarithm. It suggests that the super-Arrhenius behavior of the structural relaxation time in glass-forming liquids eventually crosses over to the Arrhenius behavior below the temperature of maximum, and there is no divergence of the relaxation time at non-zero temperature. The position of the maximum can be both above or below glass transition temperature, depending on the sensitivity of the structural relaxation time to changes in density. These results might turn the discussion of the glass transition to the new avenue - the origin of the limiting activation energy for structural relaxation at low temperatures.
Misperception and its evolutionary value

description: Misperception has a detrimental effect on an entity's perception of its environment, which can affect its decision-making abilities. To those with a perfect perception of an environment, the decisions and subsequent actions of a misperceiving entity may appear to be deficient in some manner. However, in some cases it is possible that an entity or its population ultimately benefits from the effects of misperception. This thesis aims to study how misperception occurs and better explain the conditions under which it may provide a benefit, evolutionary or otherwise. Misperception can have many possible causes, which may be divided into two main classes --- those caused by inadvertent flaws of the perceiving entity and those caused by the actions of other entities. Deliberate actions that are intended to cause an entity to misperceive are instances of Information Warfare attacks. This work produces a new generalised model that describes how both intentional and unintentional misperception affects entities during their decision-making process. These various sources of misperception are mapped into the Observation Orientation Decision Action (OODA) loop model, revealing how misperception affects the decision-making process in the short and long term. The internal process of the OODA loop is also examined and its Orientation step is expanded to detail how an entity's internal representation of the world is developed and affected by misperception, and also how this representation is used to make decisions. Historical case studies of some misperceptions are also mapped into this model, detailing the causes of such misperceptions. Previous research has identified some instances where misperception provides some benefit to misperceiving entities. This work also aims to identify what circumstances are required for entities to benefit from misperception and determine whether such a benefit can aid entities in an evolutionary environment. Artificial Life simulations are used to investigate environments where entities may misperceive. A benefit from misperception is demonstrated by a population of entities who evolve a significant level of misperception instead of correct perception. The results of these simulations reveal several different methods by which misperception may benefit both individual entities and their populations in different scenarios.
