Subjects: subject: Morphology
subject: Literacy
subject: Readers (Elementary)
subject: Vocabulary--Study and teaching (Elementary)

description: Word Explorer is a web-based game that supports teachers in using morphology (the study of the structure of words) to help students in grades 3-6 understand the complex vocabulary needed to succeed in middle school and beyond. By constructing words from bases, prefixes, and suffixes and then connecting them to meaning, students improve their ability to decipher multisyllabic words, recognize them automatically, and understand their meanings. Reading research indicates these skills are necessary for successful reading comprehension.

description: We consider massless string scattering amplitudes in a limit where the number of external particles becomes very large, while the energy of each particle remains small. Using the growth of the volume of the relevant moduli space, and by means of independent numerical evidence, we argue that string perturbation theory breaks down in this limit. We discuss some remarkable implications for the information paradox.

description: Recently, several studies have investigated synchronization in quantum-mechanical limit-cycle oscillators. However, the quantum nature of these systems remained partially hidden, since the dynamics of the oscillator's phase was overdamped and therefore incoherent. We show that there exist regimes of underdamped and even quantum-coherent phase motion, opening up new possibilities to study quantum synchronization dynamics. To this end, we investigate the Van der Pol oscillator (a paradigm for a self-oscillating system) synchronized to an external drive. We derive an effective quantum model which fully describes the regime of underdamped phase motion and additionally allows us to identify the quality of quantum coherence. Finally, we identify quantum limit cycles of the phase itself.

Subjects: Special Education; Individualized Education Plan

description: The world of special education is complex. Families and general education teachers struggle to understand the characteristics of a student’s specific disability as well as how to implement the recommended supports that can positively impact the student’s learning. Stakeholders on the support team for students such as the special education teacher and intervention specialists are experts in implementing effective support for students with special needs. But other stakeholders such as general education teachers or families may lack knowledge needed to ensure the student is receiving consistent support in and outside of the classroom.

To address this knowledge gap and better ensure that students are getting adequate services, we are creating a centralized digital platform for a community of learners (the support team) engaged in collective knowledge exchange. Research from the learning sciences undergirds each core feature of our platform, EdConnect.Through these selected features, teachers can leverage the expertise of the specialists and families on the support team to customize and implement student supports, while engaging within a community of learners focused around the issue of best supporting learners with special needs. Preliminary user studies indicate that users perceive the application to be helpful and value the affordances of the platform in various contexts.

description: Fragestellung: Ein negativer Zusammenhang zwischen Depressivität und dem Kohärenzgefühl (SOC) kann als belegt gelten. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird geprüft, ob sich Defizite im SOC als Begleitphänomen der depressiven Symptomatik einstellen oder ob sich zwischen vulnerablen und nicht-vulnerablen Personen auch außerhalb der depressiven Phase Unterschiede im SOC nachweisen lassen. Diese Fragestellung wird in drei Studien bearbeitet. Methode: In Studie 1 wird die Abhängigkeit des SOC von der aktuellen Stimmung untersucht, indem eine Gruppe nicht-klinischer Probanden (N=42) randomisiert einer von zwei experimentellen Bedingungen zugewiesen wird, in denen positive oder negative Stimmung induziert wird. Als abhängige Variable wird das SOC erfasst. In Studie 2 wird im Rahmen einer Fragebogenstudie die Abhängigkeit des SOC von depressiver Symptomatik untersucht. In Anlehnung an das „remitted depression paradigm“ wird das SOC einer Gruppe akut depressiver, remittiert depressiver und vormals nicht depressiver Personen (jeweils N=12) verglichen. Studie 3 betrachtet auf Basis einer Fragebogenuntersuchung mit einer nicht-klinischen Stichprobe (N=91) mögliche Mediatoren des Zusammenhangs von SOC und Depression. Ergebnisse: Studie 1 belegt, dass der Zusammenhang zwischen SOC und Depressivität nicht auf einem einfachen Stimmungseffekt beruht. Das SOC erweist sich als invariant gegenüber der Stimmungsmanipulation. Eine deutliche Zustandsabhängigkeit des SOC zeigt sich in Studie 2, die ein schwächeres SOC bei den akut depressiven im Vergleich zu den remittiert depressiven Personen nachweist. Das SOC der remittiert depressiven Personen bleibt jedoch hinter dem der gesunden Vergleichsgruppe zurück. Studie 3 zeigt Zusammenhänge zwischen dem SOC, der Neigung zu Assimilation und Akkomodation sowie zu Rumination. Schlussfolgerung. Die Ergebnisse sprechen dafür, dass das SOC einen Protektivfaktor in der Ätiologie depressiver Störungen darstellt, der während einer depressiven Episode einen Zusammenbruch erleidet.

description: The market for cryptocurrencies is a very dynamic market with highly volatile movements and discontinuities from large jumps. We investigate the risk-management perspective when selling securities written on cryptocurrencies. To this day, options written on cryptocurrencies are not officially exchange-traded. This study mimics the dynamics of cryptocurrency markets in a simulation study. We assume that the asset follows the stochastic volatility with correlated jumps model as presented in Duffie et al. ( 2000 ) and price options with parameters calibrated on the CRIX, a cryptocurrency index that serves as a representative of market movements. We investigate on risk- management opportunities of hedging options written on cryptocurrencies and evaluate the hedge performance under model misspecification. The hedge models are misspecified in the manner that they include fewer sources of randomness than the nother the ment the ment the industry-standard Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Heston Stochastic volatility model, and the Merton jump-diffusion model. We present different hedging strategies and perform an empirical study on delta-hedging. We report poor hedging results when calibration is poor. The results show good performances of the Black-Scholes and the Heston model and outline the poor hedging performance of the Merton model. Lastly, we observe large unhedgeable losses in the left tail. These losses potentially result from large jumps.

description: Traditional training in high-growth companies is failing managers. New leaders are often promoted in an environment of fast-paced ambiguity, however, they rarely have the requisite skills to lead a team. As a result, employees are leaving their companies in droves. This is one of the key reasons for the phenomenon called The Great Resignation. In response, Sage has created a learning experience that leverages the power of self-appropriated learning by involving the managers in their learning journey. 

Sage helps managers meet their own learning goals by prompting them to perform personally relevant, contextually situated actions. The actions are small, but they have a big impact on the team because the leaders have been involved in their own development. Early evidence shows that Sage is able to help managers improve their leadership behaviors.

description: The peculiar velocity field measured by redshift-space distortions (RSD) in galaxy surveys provides a unique probe of the growth of large-scale structure. However, systematic effects arise when including satellite galaxies in the clustering analysis. Since satellite galaxies tend to reside in massive halos with a greater halo bias, the inclusion boosts the clustering power. In addition, virial motions of the satellite galaxies cause a significant suppression of the clustering power due to nonlinear RSD effects. We develop a novel method to recover the redshift-space power spectrum of halos from the observed galaxy distribution by minimizing the contamination of satellite galaxies. The cylinder grouping method (CGM) we study effectively excludes satellite galaxies from a galaxy sample. However, we find that this technique produces apparent anisotropies in the reconstructed halo distribution over all the scales which mimic RSD. On small scales, the apparent anisotropic clustering is caused by exclusion of halos within the anisotropic cylinder used by the CGM. On large scales, the misidentification of different halos in the large-scale structures, aligned along the line-of-sight, into the same CGM group, causes the apparent anisotropic clustering via their cross-correlation with the CGM halos. We construct an empirical model for the CGM halo power spectrum, which includes correction terms derived using the CGM window function at small scales as well as the linear matter power spectrum multiplied by a simple anisotropic function at large scales. We apply this model to a mock galaxy catalog at z=0.5, designed to resemble SDSS-III BOSS CMASS galaxies, and find that our model can predict both the monopole and quadrupole power spectra of the host halos up to k<0.5 h/Mpc to within 5%.

description: Toxins from venomous animals are proteins used for their defense or to hunt. Lonomia (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) caterpillars can be lethal, and accidental inoculation of the venom from its bristles into human skin causes systemic blood coagulation disorders. Several reviews have investigated the pathophysiology of lonomic poisoning; however, considering the potential of venoms for bioprospecting, this review focuses on the different applications of substances derived from Lonomia spp. Following PRISMA guidelines, 39 articles were selected from 1032 papers published from 1996 to 2019. Nine different applications of substances derived from Lonomia spp. were identified: lonomic antivenom, use in cell culture, thrombosis treatment, wound healing, antiviral and antibiotic treatment, Lonomia population control, platelet adhesion research and cancer treatment. The most-reported application (38%) involved using lonomic components as cell survival promoters in cell culture. This review also notes the current knowledge gaps that block the practical use of these molecules. Several additional applications, including thrombosis treatment, wound healing, antiviral and antibiotic treatment, Lonomia population control, platelet adhesion research and cancer treatment, are limited by similar knowledge gaps related to the shortage or absence of in vivo studies. Finally, antiviral treatment and thrombosis treatment are two applications that require recombinant production of the molecule studied.
Fictitious boundary and penalization methods for treatment of rigid objects in incompressible flows

description: The Fictitious Boundary Method (FBM) and the Penalty Method (PM) for solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations modeling steady or unsteady incompressible flow around solid and rigid, non-deformable objects are presented and numerically analyzed and compared in this thesis. The proposed methods are finite element methods to simulate incompressible flows with small-scale time-(in)dependent geometrical details. The FBM, described and already validated in [1, 43, 48], is based on a finite element method background grid which covers the whole computational domain and is independent of the shape, number and size of any solid obstacle contained inside. The fluid part is computed by a multigrid finite element solver, while the behavior of the solid part is governed by the mechanics principles regarding motion and interactions of type fluid-solid, solid-solid or solid-wall collisions. A new treatment of imposing the Dirichlet boundary conditions for the case of immersed rigid boundary objects is proposed by using the penalization method as a more general framework then the FBM, but containing it as a special case. The new PM approach has a stronger mathematical background. In contrast to FBM, the PM does not imply a direct modification or artificial techniques over the matrix of the system of equations like the fictitious boundary method. A pairing of the penalty method with multigrid solvers is used, while the computational domain is fixed and needs no re-meshing during the simulations. However, the degree of geometrical details that the coarse mesh contains has an impact onto numerical results, a fact which will be investigated/ clarified in this thesis. The presented method is a finite element method, easy to be incorporated into standard CFD codes, for simulating particulate flow or, in general, flows with immersed time-(in)dependent and complicated shaped objects. The aim is to analyze and validate the penalty method and compare, qualitatively and quantitatively, with the already validated FBM regarding the aspects of accuracy of the solution, efficiency, robustness and behavior of the solvers. Different techniques to avoid the numerical difficulties that arise by using penalty method will be particularly described and analyzed.

description: Scattering of electromagnetic waves in billiard-like systems has become a standard experimental tool of studying properties associated with Quantum Chaos. Random Matrix Theory (RMT) describing statistics of eigenfrequencies and associated eigenfunctions remains one of the pillars of theoretical understanding of quantum chaotic systems. In a scattering system coupling to continuum via antennae converts real eigenfrequencies into poles of the scattering matrix in the complex frequency plane and the associated eigenfunctions into decaying resonance states. Understanding statistics of these poles, as well as associated non-orthogonal resonance eigenfunctions within RMT approach is still possible, though much more challenging task.

description: Phospholipases are one of the principal toxic enzymes in snake venoms inducing a wide variety of pharmacological effects after envenomation. Natural inhibitors from plants are known to inhibit the toxic enzyme activities of snake venoms. In this study, ethanol crude extract of M. oleifera leaves was partitioned using n-hexane and ethyl acetate after which fractionation was done using column and thin layer chromatography. Subsequently, the inhibitory activities of the crude extract and sub-fractions of M. oleifera were investigated against phospholipases A2 isolated from Naja haje and Naja nigricollis venoms using in vitro and in-silico approaches while EchiTab-PLUS polyvalent antivenom was used as the standard drug. The molecular weight of isolated N. haje phospholipase A2 (NH-PL) and N. nigricollis phospholipase A2 (NN-PL) were 24.11 and 35.22 kDa respectively. NH-PL enzyme had a specific activity of 2.70 μM/min/mg substrate while NN-PL activity was 2.10 μM/min/mg substrate. The Km of NH-PL was 0.330 μM with Vmax of 0.085 μM/mL min while NN-PL had Vmax of 0.198 μM/mL.min and Km of 0.670 μM. M. oleifera n-hexane sub-fraction 5 (MOLH5) exhibited a total inhibition of NN-PL and NH-PL enzyme activities at all concentrations used. Molecular docking of the phytoconstituents of MOLH5 against the catalytic site of phospholipase A2 revealed 2-Hydrazino-8-hydroxy-4-phenylquinoline as the lead compound and a potential drug candidate with a docking score of −6.789 kcal/mol. Findings indicated that MOLH5 possesses phospholipase A2 natural inhibitors that could be explored as a therapy for snake envenoming.

description: While gamification researchers have emphasised the exploration of game dynamics beyond typical game mechanics, there is still a blind spot regarding how specific game dynamics driven by social features enhance individual agility in the workplace. Since socially driven game dynamics are essential for collective units like organisations, this research conceptualized collaborative competition, paralinguistic digital recognition, and dynamic interactions as socially driven game dynamics and further, investigated how these game dynamics enhance individual agility through a moderated mediation model. Adopting a purposive sampling technique, 421 complete responses were found to be suitable for further analysis. The hypotheses were tested using an observed variable approach (Process Macro). The indirect effect of paralinguistic digital recognition on employee agility through collective engagement was found to be stronger than that of other game dynamics, such as collaborative competition and dynamic interactions. As hypothesised, collective goal difficulty acts as a positive moderator, accentuating the mediating effect of collective engagement. This study is one of the first works explaining the association between gamification and employee agility with a systematic framework, therefore advancing the existing literature on gamification and employee agility.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic raised the global prevalence of depressive and anxiety
symptoms in children and teenagers. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide
teenagers with coping tools and support to improve their mental health. Research over
the past two decades suggests that mindfulness is effective in addressing depression
and anxiety. We believe that digital technology might allow us to create a learning
experience that promotes daily mindfulness practices and a sense of belonging in
teenagers and young adults.
Mindful Circles is a mobile app for teenagers to practice mindfulness with the support of
peers and experienced mentors remotely. Our project empowers teenagers to become
mindfulness practitioners and helps them incorporate mindfulness techniques not just to
cope with stress, loneliness, and depression into their daily lives but to create a
consistent routine as a proactive measure to increase body and emotional awareness.
Diary studies have demonstrated that Mindful Circles successfully supports our
learners’ ability to feel safe, apply new mindfulness techniques, and build confidence in
the practice, all in the context of a community.

description: Let $(X,d)$ be a proper ultrametric space. Given a measure $m$ on $X$ and a function $B \mapsto C(B)$ defined on the collection of all non-singleton balls $B$ of $X$, we consider the associated hierarchical Laplacian $L=L_{C}\,$. The operator $L$ acts in $\mathcal{L}^{2}(X,m),$ is essentially self-adjoint and has a pure point spectrum. It admits a continuous heat kernel $\mathfrak{p}(t,x,y)$ with respect to $m$. We consider the case when $X$ has a transitive group of isometries under which the operator $L$ is invariant and study the asymptotic behaviour of the function $t\mapsto \mathfrak{p}(t,x,x)=\mathfrak{p}(t)$. It is completely monotone, but does not vary regularly. When $X=\mathbb{Q}_{p}\,$, the ring of $p$-adic numbers, and $L=\mathcal{D}^α $, the operator of \ fractional derivative of order $α,$ we show that $\mathfrak{p}(t)=t^{-1/α}\mathcal{A}% (\log_{p}t)$, where $\mathcal{A}(τ)$ is a continuous non-constant $α$-periodic function. We also study asymptotic behaviour of $\min\mathcal{A}$ and $\max\mathcal{A}$ as the space parameter $p$ tends to $\infty$. When $X=S_{\infty}\,$, the infinite symmetric group, and $L$ is a hierarchical Laplacian with metric structure analogous to $\mathcal{D}^α,$ we show that, contrary to the previous case, the completely monotone function $\mathfrak{p}(t)$ oscillates between two functions $ψ(t)$ and $Ψ(t)$ such that $ψ(t)/Ψ(t)\to 0$ as $t \to \infty\,$.

description: Patient-physician communication is a crucial aspect of clinical diagnoses and treatments. However, there are barriers to effective empathic practices, including consciousness, busy working rhythms, and difficulties recognising patients’ implicit emotional expressions. While previous research has attempted to support asynchronous medical conversations, this study has explored the use of emotion visualisation techniques for synchronous, face-to-face medical encounters. After interviewing doctors to understand user requirements, an emotion-visualisation prototype, EMVIS, was created. The prototype was evaluated in a study with 31 patients and 37 healthcare providers within different specialist groups using a contextualised Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and follow-up interviews. The results indicated that patients and physicians were generally accepting of emotion visualisation for medical encounters. Patients were more interested in their physicians’ attitudes and intentions, while physicians accepted the visualisation, but their requirements differed according to their skill levels and specialities. Hence, four supportive factors - emotional empathy, careful attention, human connection, and reflective conversation - elicited information on how EMVIS contributed to medical conversations. Five future opportunities for the emotion visualisation of medical conversations were discussed in respect of the human factors and potential requirements. These include communicating uncertainty, addressing user diversity, providing explanatory information, managing attention, and supporting negotiations.

description: Slow dynamics in an amorphous quasi-two-dimensional complex plasma, comprised of microparticles of two different sizes, was studied experimentally. The motion of individual particles was observed using video microscopy, and the self-part of the intermediate scattering function as well as the mean-squared particle displacement was calculated. The long-time structural relaxation reveals the characteristic behavior near the glass transition. Our results suggest that binary complex plasmas can be an excellent model system to study slow dynamics in classical supercooled fluids.
A unified framework for magic state distillation and multi-qubit gate-synthesis with reduced resource cost

description: The standard approach to fault-tolerant quantum computation is to store information in a quantum error correction code, such as the surface code, and process information using a strategy that can be summarized as distill-then-synthesize. In the distill step, one performs several rounds of distillation to create high-fidelity logical qubits in a magic state. Each such magic state provides one good T gate. In the synthesize step, one seeks the optimal decomposition of an algorithm into a sequence of many T gates interleaved with Clifford gates. This gate-synthesis problem is well understood for multiqubit gates that do not use any Hadamards. We present an in-depth analysis of a unified framework that realises one round of distillation and multiqubit gate synthesis in a single step. We call these synthillation protocols, and show they lead to a large reduction in resource overheads. This is because synthillation can implement a general class of circuits using the same number of T-states as gate synthesis, yet with the benefit of quadratic error suppression. This general class includes all circuits primarily dominated by control-control-Z gates, such as adders and modular exponentiation routines used in Shor's algorithm. Therefore, synthillation removes the need for a costly round of magic state distillation. We also present several additional results on the multiqubit gate-synthesis problem. We provide an efficient algorithm for synthesizing unitaries with the same worst-case resource scaling as optimal solutions. For the special case of synthesizing controlled-unitaries, our techniques are not just efficient but exactly optimal. We observe that the gate-synthesis cost, measured by T-count, is often strictly subadditive. Numerous explicit applications of our techniques are also presented.

description: In the present study, soil contamination by arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, nickel, uranium and zinc; and associated human health risks were assessed at 30 agricultural sites in Ferozepur District, Punjab. Above 90% soil samples had high content of chloride, sodium and potassium. Cadmium, arsenic, zinc and lead in 100%, 76.67%, 76.67% and 66.67% samples exceeded their safe limits (mg/kg; 0.06, 20, 50 and 10, respectively). Individual/multi-elemental indices indicated high PTEs contamination in soils posing low to considerable ecological risk. Principal components PCI and PCII contributed 44.748% and 30.476% variance in data, respectively. PTEs in soils were classified in two categories using cluster analysis (I: Cd, U, Co, Pb, Ni, Cr, As, Cu, Zn and Mn; II: Fe), indicating both geogenic and anthropogenic origins. Health risks due to PTE exposure via dermal contact, inhalation and ingestion were also assessed. Children were found to be highly prone to non-cancer health risk (mean hazard index = 1.30) by As exposure, mainly via ingestion pathway. High total cancer risk was posed to residents via As (7.52E-05) and Cr (9.17E-06) exposure, primarily through ingestion. Bioremediation and efficient disposal of solid and liquid wastes may reduce soil contamination in the study area.

Relativistic coupling of internal and center of mass dynamics in classical and simple bound quantum mechanical systems

description: Einstein's famous equation $E_{\rm rest}=mc^2$ for the rest energy of a system with mass $m$ requires that the internal energy of the system be included in $m$. Pursuing this idea using Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics yields a relativistic coupling between the center of mass motion and the internal dynamics of the system. Here we explore the consequences of this coupling, first classically, where we find that the dynamics of the system is time dilated when moving relative to another inertial frame. We then apply the dynamics to a quantum 2-level atom bound in a 1-dimensional infinite potential well, and show that the coupling produces collapses and revivals in quantum interference.
