description: In multiferroic TbMn$_2$O$_5$, the behavior of the terbium ions forms a crucial part of the magneto-electric coupling. The result is a magnetically induced reversal of the electric polarization at 2 T. In this article we present the first direct measurement of the terbium magnetic structure under applied magnetic fields. Contrary to the current interpretation of the magnetic properties of \tmo, we show that upon the electric polarization reversal the terbium sub-lattice adopts a canted antiferromagnetic structure with a large component of magnetic moment parallel to the \textit{a}-axis. Furthermore, we provide evidence for a coupling between the manganese 3d magnetic structure and the terbium $4f$ magnetism, which is of great significance in the elusive magneto-electric mechanisms at play.

description: This article describes music educators’ conceptions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We collaborated with six music teachers to consider ways in which DEI is conceptualized and practiced in their own teaching settings. The teachers were carefully selected to encompass a multitude of identities, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, location, class, ability, teaching setting, musical background, and teaching experience. Through our conversations, we learned how these teachers locate their identities through their own narratives and how these social constructions converge in their work through pedagogical and curricular strategies. It is our hope that their insights might start a conversation about the current state of DEI work being approached in music education and provide suggestions for more diverse, equitable, and inclusive practices and policies in music classrooms.

description: In the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviors that humans consider intelligent. The ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times and today with the advent of the computer and 50 years of research into various programming techniques, the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality. Researchers are creating systems which can mimic human thought, understand speech, beat the best human chessplayer, and countless other feats never before possible. Ability of the human to estimate the information is most brightly shown in using of natural languages. Using words of a natural language for valuation qualitative attributes, for example, the person pawns uncertainty in form of vagueness in itself estimations. Vague sets, vague judgments, vague conclusions takes place there and then, where and when the reasonable subject exists and also is interested in something. The vague sets theory has arisen as the answer to an illegibility of language the reasonable subject speaks. Language of a reasonable subject is generated by vague events which are created by the reason and which are operated by the mind. The theory of vague sets represents an attempt to find such approximation of vague grouping which would be more convenient, than the classical theory of sets in situations where the natural language plays a significant role. Such theory has been offered by known American mathematician Gau and Buehrer .In our paper we are describing how vagueness of linguistic variables can be solved by using the vague set theory.This paper is mainly designed for one of directions of the eventology (the theory of the random vague events), which has arisen within the limits of the probability theory and which pursue the unique purpose to describe eventologically a movement of reason.

description: We study the ratchet effect of a damped relativistic particle driven by both asymmetric temporal bi-harmonic and time-periodic piecewise constant forces. This system can be formally solved for any external force, providing the ratchet velocity as a non-linear functional of the driving force. This allows us to explicitly illustrate the functional Taylor expansion formalism recently proposed for this kind of systems. The Taylor expansion reveals particularly useful to obtain the shape of the current when the force is periodic, piecewise constant. We also illustrate the somewhat counterintuitive effect that introducing damping may induce a ratchet effect. When the force is symmetric under time-reversal and the system is undamped, under symmetry principles no ratchet effect is possible. In this situation increasing damping generates a ratchet current which, upon increasing the damping coefficient eventually reaches a maximum and decreases toward zero. We argue that this effect is not specific of this example and should appear in any ratchet system with tunable damping driven by a time-reversible external force.

description: When applied to a single nucleon, nuclear energy density functionals may yield a non-vanishing internal energy thus implying that the nucleon is interacting with itself. It is shown how to avoid this unphysical feature for semi-local phenomenological functionals containing all possible bilinear combinations of local densities and currents up to second order in the derivatives. The method outlined in this Rapid Communication could be easily extended to functionals containing higher order terms, and could serve as a guide for constraining the time-odd part of the functional.

description: We apply the light bending model of X-ray variability to Suzaku data of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15. We analyze the energy dependence of the root mean square (rms) variability, and discuss conditions necessary for the model to explain the characteristic decrease of the source variability around 5-8 keV. A model, where the X-ray source moves radially rather than vertically close to the disk surface, can indeed reproduce the reduced variability near the energy of the Fe Kalpha line, although the formal fit quality is poor. The model then predicts the energy spectra, which can be compared to observational data. The spectra are strongly reflection dominated, and do not provide a good fit to Suzaku spectral data of the source. The inconsistency of this result with some previous claims can be traced to our using data in a broader energy band, where effects of warm absorber in the spectrum cannot be neglected.

description: Concentration quenching is a major impediment to efficient organic light-emitting devices. We herein report on Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) based on a fluorescent amorphous red-emitting starbust triarylamine molecule (4-di(4'-tert-butylbiphenyl-4-yl)amino-4'-dicyanovinylbenzene, named FVIN), exhibiting a very small sensitivity to concentration quenching. OLEDs are fabricated with various doping levels of FVIN into Alq3, and show a remarkably stable external quantum efficiency of 1.5% for doping rates ranging from 5% up to 40%, which strongly relaxes the technological constraints on the doping accuracy. An efficiency of 1% is obtained for a pure undoped active region, along with deep red emission (x=0.6; y=0.35 CIE coordinates). A comparison of FVIN with the archetypal DCM dye is presented in an identical multilayer OLED structure.

Collaborative untangling of positionality, ownership, and answerability as white researchers in indigenous spaces

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Decentering whiteness and decolonizing educational research is not a simple matter for researchers who may (initially) be unaware of their social locations. This paper begins by describing the three authors’ individual work within indigenous populations and subsequently explores the impact of their critical journey together as a community of scholars working to decolonize their research practice. Following an overview of their individual stories, the authors share principles of ethical scholarly engagement within indigenous communities, particularly positionality, ownership, and answerability, that they hope will be valuable to others who may embark upon similar critically reflective journeys. Alongside each of these principles, they pose “unanswered questions” so as not to uphold their journey as a model, but rather to illuminate how this work is messy, challenging, eye-opening, unsettling, and ongoing. The authors conclude that it is the “methodological responsibility” of white scholars to do the ethical work to understand, untangle, and dismantle potentially harmful dispositions, orientations, and practices before engaging with indigenous communities, and suggest that such transformation may be most powerfully pursued in a purposeful and collaborative space.

description: Music education majors report low exposure to creative musical activities (CMAs) despite increased discourse surrounding the inclusion of CMAs in standards, curricula, publications, and practice. The purpose of this study was to compare preservice music teachers’ (PMT) and music teacher educators’ (MTE) experiences with CMAs. We used an anonymous survey instrument to explore definitions, perceived importance and preparedness, and the incorporation of CMAs within undergraduate music education curricula. MTEs and PMTs valued the inclusion of CMAs in preK–12 curricula, PMTs felt most prepared to teach arranging and least prepared to teach composing with their future preK–12 students, and PMTs valued and desired more opportunities to practice CMAs in undergraduate curricula. MTEs should consider integrating these activities as regular components in undergraduate music curricula.
Effect of adherence to a web-based behavioural modification intervention on health behaviours and reduction in overweight/obesity among adolescents
Creators: name: Shams, Benajir
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to: 1) investigate whether adherence to components of a web-based weight management intervention have an effect on health behaviours (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behaviour, and dietary quality) and change in body mass index (BMI) z-score of adolescents; and 2) to examine how health behaviours mediate the relationship between adherence to components of the intervention and change in BMI-z-score. METHOD: A total of 158 overweight/obese adolescents and their parents participated in an 8-month web-based weight management intervention. Path analysis was used to examine the effect of adherence to intervention components on health behaviours associated with obesity (MVPA, sedentary behaviour, and dietary quality) and change in BMI z-score at 4 and 8 months and to test for mediation effects. Adherence assessed the percentage of content viewed and number of weeks of self-monitoring of physical activity (steps), sedentary time, and dietary intake. MVPA and sedentary behaviour were assessed with accelerometers and self-reported questionnaires. Three self-administered 24-hour dietary recalls were used to compute a dietary quality index. RESULTS: Adolescents viewed 49% and 39% of the web content at 4 and 8 months, respectively. They self-monitored their steps, sedentary time, and dietary intake for 7.5, 2.0, and 3.9 weeks during the first four months and 10.9, 2.7, and 5.6 weeks for the duration of the intervention period (8 months), respectively. The amount of content adolescents’ viewed had a significant direct effect on their dietary quality at both 4 and 8 months (Standardized Coefficient (SC)=0.19, p=0.09 and SC=0.24, p=0.01, respectively) and a significant direct effect on change in BMI z-score at 8 months (SC=0.26, p=0.01). None of the health behaviours mediated the effect of adherence to intervention on change in BMI z-score. CONCLUSION: The study highlights that viewing more content was associated with improved dietary quality and greater reduction in BMI z-score but use of the self-monitoring tools did not explain these changes. Health behaviours could not explain the underlying process of the intervention. Finding ways to maintain adolescents engaged with the intervention is necessary given its effects on health outcomes.
Translation of Pronominal Anaphora between English and Spanish: Discrepancies and Evaluation

description: This paper evaluates the different tasks carried out in the translation of pronominal anaphora in a machine translation (MT) system. The MT interlingua approach named AGIR (Anaphora Generation with an Interlingua Representation) improves upon other proposals presented to date because it is able to translate intersentential anaphors, detect co-reference chains, and translate Spanish zero pronouns into English---issues hardly considered by other systems. The paper presents the resolution and evaluation of these anaphora problems in AGIR with the use of different kinds of knowledge (lexical, morphological, syntactic, and semantic). The translation of English and Spanish anaphoric third-person personal pronouns (including Spanish zero pronouns) into the target language has been evaluated on unrestricted corpora. We have obtained a precision of 80.4% and 84.8% in the translation of Spanish and English pronouns, respectively. Although we have only studied the Spanish and English languages, our approach can be easily extended to other languages such as Portuguese, Italian, or Japanese.

Internal conversion electrons and supernova light curves

description: Radioactive decays contribute significantly to the re-heating of supernova ejecta. Previous works mainly considered the energy deposited by gamma-rays and positrons produced by 56Ni, 56Co, 57Ni, 57Co, 44Ti, and 44Sc. We point out that Auger and internal conversion electrons constitute an additional heat source. At late times, these electrons can contribute significantly to supernova light curves for reasonable nucleosynthetic yields. In particular, the internal conversion electrons emitted in the decay of 57Co are an important heating channel for supernovae that have become largely transparent to gamma-rays. We show that when the heating by these electrons is accounted for, the slowing down of the light curves of SN 1998bw and SN 2003hv is naturally obtained for typical nucleosynthetic yields. Additionally, we show that for SN 1987A the effects of internal conversion electrons are likely significant for the derivation of 44Ti yields from its late time bolometric light curve.

description: In this paper, a simple Neural controller has been used to achieve stable walking in a NAO biped robot, with 22 degrees of freedom that implemented in a virtual physics-based simulation environment of Robocup soccer simulation environment. The algorithm uses a Matsuoka base neural oscillator to generate control signal for the biped robot. To find the best angular trajectory and optimize network parameters, a new population-based search algorithm, called the Harmony Search (HS) algorithm, has been used. The algorithm conceptualized a group of musicians together trying to search for better state of harmony. Simulation results demonstrate that the modification of the step period and the walking motion due to the sensory feedback signals improves the stability of the walking motion.

A mixed-method examination of the effects of an affective mental contrasting intervention on physical activity behaviours
Creators: name: Ruissen, Geralyn R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: University is a vulnerable period for discontinuing regular physical activity, which can have implications for individuals’ physical and psychological health (Bray & Born, 2010). Accordingly, it is imperative to find and implement cost and time-effective interventions to mitigate the consequences of this transition. Mental contrasting is a self-regulatory strategy that involves imagining the greatest outcome associated with achievement of a desired future goal while considering the aspects of one’s present situation that may serve as obstacles for attaining that same goal (Oettingen & Gollwitzer, 2010). Intervention research has shown that mental contrasting can be taught as a metacognitive strategy in a cost- and time-effective way, affecting numerous health behaviours including physical activity (Oettingen, 2012). Drawing from diverse theoretical perspectives (e.g., Bechara, 2005; Lawton, Conner, & McEachan, 2009; Williams, 2010), recent meta-analytic evidence suggests that affective judgements (e.g., enjoyable-unenjoyable) exert greater influence on physical activity behaviours than health-related instrumental judgements (e.g., useful-useless; Rhodes, Fiala, & Conner, 2009). The purpose of this thesis was to utilize mental contrasting as a means of targeting affective judgements, through intervention, in order to bolster physical activity promotion efforts. One hundred and ten inactive, female university students were randomly assigned to an affective, instrumental or standard mental contrasting intervention. Assessments were conducted at baseline, 1-week post intervention and 4-weeks post intervention. Participants in the affective mental contrasting condition displayed higher levels of self-reported MVPA than those in the instrumental or standard comparison conditions, F(2, 90) = 3.14, p < .05, ηp² = 0.065. Furthermore, results of a moderation analysis provided evidence that when participants were randomized to an affective mental contrasting condition, and highlighted outcome judgements that were affective in nature, they demonstrated the most pronounced increases in physical activity. Conversely, those randomized to an instrumental condition, who highlighted instrumental outcome judgments, had the lowest physical activity levels. Overall, affective mental contrasting has the potential to represent a low- cost and time-efficient intervention that may help inactive, female students increase activity or attenuate declining levels of MVPA that occurs during university.

description: An efficient heterogeneous hybrid catalyst was developed by functionalization of halloysite clay nanotubes by γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and then immobilization of a Keggin type heteropolyacid, phosphotungstic acid. This hybrid catalyst was characterized by SEM/EDX, FTIR and XRD and its catalytic activity for the synthesis of pyrazolopyranopyrimidine derivatives via four-component domino reaction of barbituric acid, hydrazine hydrate, ethyl acetoacetate and benzaldehyde was investigated. The results indicated that the hybrid system can promote the reaction to afford the desired products in high yields and short reaction times. The superior catalytic activity of this system was confirmed when compared with those reported, previously. Moreover, this novel heterogeneous catalyst was found to be easily separable and recyclable. It was re-used at least three times with negligible loss of activity. Significantly, this protocol can be extended to nonconventional green heating sources such as microwave and ultrasonic irradiations.

description: We use the Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation to study the expansion of a dilute Fermi gas at unitarity. We focus, in particular, on the approach to the hydrodynamic limit. Our main finding are: i) In the regime that has been studied experimentally hydrodynamic effects beyond the Navier-Stokes approximation are small, ii) mean field corrections to the Boltzmann equation are not important, iii) experimental data imply that freezeout occurs very late, that means that the relaxation time remains smaller than the expansion time during the entire evolution of the system, iv) the experimental results also imply that the bulk viscosity is significantly smaller than the shear viscosity of the system.

Grundlage für die Datenübertragung in Mobilfunksystemen immer
größerer Beliebtheit. Neben den Systemen zur großflächigen
terretrischen Rundfunk­ und Fernsehübertragung Digital Audio
Broadcast (DAB) und Digital Video Broadcast Terrestrial (DVB­T)
setzen sich auch immer mehr Systeme in drahtlosen lokalen
Netzwerken (WLAN) durch. Neben Hiperlan/2 hält vor allem IEEE
802.11a immer stärker Einzug in den WLAN­Bereich.
Der Bedarf an Übertragungskapazität und damit Bandbreite wächst,
gerade auch für mobile Anwendungen zum Beispiel in Autos oder
Zügen. Dafür werden breit­bandige Systeme benötigt, die auch in
schwierigen Ausbreitungsszenarien bei hohen
Teilnehmergeschwindigkeiten zuverlässig funktionieren. Diese
Anforderungen können von OFDM­basierten Systemen erfüllt werden.
Neben einer großen Bandbreiteeffizienz bieten sie einfache
Möglichkeiten zur Vermeidung von Inter­Symbol­Interferenzen und
weisen ein robustes Verhalten gegenüber Dopplerein­flüssen auf.
Gegenstand dieser Arbeit sind mobile OFDM­basierte
Funkübertragungssysteme, die für verschiedenste
Kanaleigenschaften bei hohen Teilnehmergeschwindigkeiten
bis zu 360 km/h analysiert werden. Zunächst werden die
Auswirkungen der Mobi­lität auf das System sowohl qualitativ als
auch quantitativ beschrieben. Anschlie­ßend wird ein adaptives
Kanalschätzverfahren auf Basis eines Wienerfilters vor­gestellt,
das sich auf die unterschiedlichen Ausbreitungsszenarien
einstellen kann.
Hier spielt neben der Leistungsfähigkeit bezüglich der
Bitfehlerraten vor allem die Realisierbarbeit und die
recheneffiziente Auslegung eine große Rolle.
Zur Anpassung des Filters an das aktuelle Ausbreitungsszenario
werden zum Einen die mittlere Impulsverzögerung (Delay Spread)
des Kanals und zum Anderen die aktuelle
Teilnehmergeschwindigkeit benötigt. Für diese beiden Parameter
werden Schätzverfahren vorgeschlagen, die die entsprechenden
Parameter aus den Em­pfangssignalen extrahieren und für die
Adaption des Wienerfilters zur Verfügung stellen. Zur
Verifikation der Algorithmen wurden Simulationen auf Basis des
DVB­T­Systems durchgeführt. Einerseits ist es ein bereits
standardisiertes System, ande­rerseits bietet gerade DVB­T schon
heute die Möglichkeit zur breitbandigen Über­tragung von Daten
bei hohen Teilnehmergeschwindigkeiten in größeren Gebieten.

description: We present a probabilistic generative model for timing deviations in expressive music performance. The structure of the proposed model is equivalent to a switching state space model. The switch variables correspond to discrete note locations as in a musical score. The continuous hidden variables denote the tempo. We formulate two well known music recognition problems, namely tempo tracking and automatic transcription (rhythm quantization) as filtering and maximum a posteriori (MAP) state estimation tasks. Exact computation of posterior features such as the MAP state is intractable in this model class, so we introduce Monte Carlo methods for integration and optimization. We compare Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods (such as Gibbs sampling, simulated annealing and iterative improvement) and sequential Monte Carlo methods (particle filters). Our simulation results suggest better results with sequential methods. The methods can be applied in both online and batch scenarios such as tempo tracking and transcription and are thus potentially useful in a number of music applications such as adaptive automatic accompaniment, score typesetting and music information retrieval.

description: A Lorentz and gauge symmetry preserving regularization method has been proposed recently in 4 dimension based on Euclidean momentum cutoff. It is shown that the triangle anomaly can be calculated unambiguously with this new improved cutoff. The anticommutator of γ^{5} and γ^μ multiplied by five gamma is proportional to terms that do not vanish under a divergent loop-momentum integral, but cancel otherwise.

Automatic analysis of dual-channel Droplet Digital PCR experiments

description: The ability to quantify the amount of DNA in a sample is an essential technique in biology and is used in many fields of research. Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) is an advanced technology developed for this purpose that enables more accurate and sensitive quantification than traditional real-time PCR. In ddPCR, nucleic acid (e.g., genomic DNA) within a sample is partitioned into thousands of droplets, along with the reagents needed to amplify and detect one or more DNA target sequences. After amplification takes place in all droplets, each droplet is individually read by a two-colour fluorescence detection system to determine whether or not it contains the target sequence. ddPCR experiments utilizing both fluorescence wavelengths are termed dual-channel, while simpler experiments can make use of only one fluorescence wavelength and are thus classified as single-channel. Droplets containing amplified product exhibit high fluorescence and are said to be positive, while those without product show little or no fluorescence and are considered negative. Using this binary, or digital, classification of droplets, the number of positive and negative droplets can be counted to allow for an absolute quantification of template abundance in the starting sample. ddPCR instruments are now available commercially and their use is growing. But, there are a very limited number of tools available for downstream data analysis. The key step in ddPCR data analysis is droplet gating: using the end-point fluorescence data to gate, or classify, droplets as either positive or negative for a given template. The proprietary software provided by BioRad Inc., a ddPCR instrument manufacturer, is currently the only program available to automatically analyze dual-channel ddPCR data. However, because this analysis tool often produces poor results, many ddPCR users resort to time-consuming and subjective manual data analyses, emphasizing the clear need for new ddPCR analysis tools. In this thesis, I devise an algorithm for automatic analysis of dual-channel ddPCR data that can objectively and reproducibly perform droplet gating. The proposed analysis method has been implemented in an R package and is also available as a web application online for easy and open access to any ddPCR user.

description: Cross-border access to a variety of data such as market information, strategic information, or customer-related information defines the daily business of many global companies, including financial institutions. These companies are obliged by law to keep a data processing legal for all offered services. They need to fulfill different security objectives specified by the legislation. Therefore, they control access to prevent unauthorized users from using data. Those security objectives, for example confidentiality or secrecy, are often defined in the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language that promotes interoperability between different systems. In this paper, we show the necessity of incorporating the requirements of legislation into access control. Based on the work flow in a banking scenario we describe a variety of available contextual information and their interrelations. Different from other access control systems our main focus is on law-compliant cross-border data access. By including legislation directly into access decisions, this lawfulness can be ensured. We also describe our information model to demonstrate how these policies can be implemented into an existing network and how the components and contextual information interrelate. Finally, we outline an event flow for a request made from a remote user exemplifying how such a system decides about access.
