description: Injection locking is a well-established technique widely used in optics as well as solid-state devices for efficient suppression of noise. We present the spectroscopic characterization of the effect of the injection-locking signal (ILS) in mitigating the phase noise of a Josephson parametric oscillator (JPO), whose output oscillating phase undergoes indeterministic switching between the bistable states with symmetry $θ\rightarrow{θ+π}$. With the injection of a weak locking signal, we measure the phase noise power spectral density of the self-sustained oscillator output state for different locking signal strengths. We observed suppression of phase noise by injection locking. As the ILS strength surpasses more than a few photons, the output state stays completely pinned to the locking phase of the ILS, and the random telegraphic noise due to the switching of the states is significantly suppressed.

description: We study harmonically trapped, unpolarized fermion systems with attractive interactions in two spatial dimensions with spin degeneracies Nf=2 and 4 and N/Nf=1,3,5, and 7 particles per flavor. We carry out our calculations using our recently proposed quantum Monte Carlo method on a nonuniform lattice. We report on the ground-state energy and contact for a range of couplings, as determined by the binding energy of the two-body system, and show explicitly how the physics of the Nf-body sector dominates as the coupling is increased.

affordance theory
occupational science

description: Introduction  The concept of affordances originates from ecological psychology, and concerns “possibilities for actions” as perceived by individuals acting in the environment (Gibson, 1979). An affordance approach recognises the agency of the physical environment in a transactional perspective wherein the person and environment co-constitute each another (Clark & Uzzell, 2002). Although ‘affordances’ as an idea has been adopted by occupational scientists, the associated theoretical origins are less well represented in occupational science literature. Therefore, this theoretical paper aims to analyse the concept of affordances and its use in researching occupation. Approach The concept of affordances will be explored through a literature review of outdoor play research across disciplines. Playgrounds are environments for communities allowing the collective occupation of outdoor play among children and families. Supporting arguments Disciplines such as ecological and social psychology, landscape architecture, geography and education have successfully applied affordance theory in environmental research, and there is much to learn from their insights. Affordance theory has evolved from an individual understanding of direct perceived action to a more context-based perspective of potential affordances shared by groups and communities in their environments. An affordances perspective allows a functional meaning-making in the analysis of the person-environment transactions. Implication for Occupational Science The concept of affordances recognises agency of the physical environment and equalizes the person-environment relationship. Affordance theory offers us the potential to extend the transactional perspective on occupation by providing a means to express functional meanings co-constituted between the environment and the person.

description: We demonstrate squeezing of a strongly interacting opto-electromechanical system using a parametric drive. By employing real-time feedback on the phase of the pump at twice the resonance frequency the thermo-mechanical noise is squeezed beyond the 3 dB instability limit. Surprisingly, this method can also be used to generate highly nonlinear states. We show that using the parametric drive with feedback on, classical number-like and cat-like states can be prepared. This presents a valuable electro-optomechanical state-preparation protocol that is extendable to the quantum regime.

description: More than two million students in Egypt today receive their Islamic education through Al-Azhar Institutes. Since its establishment in1936, Al-Azhar Institutes’ Islamic curriculum has undergone various changes with regards the topics covered and textbooks used. This study examines the most recent modifications to al-Azhar Institutes’ curriculum introduced in 2013, namely, the simplification of the fiqh textbooks and the introduction of the Islamic Heritage (Al-Thaqāfah al-Islāmiyyah) subject. In the aftermath of the Arab spring, Al-Azhar faced accusations that its teaching of classical jurisprudence promotes extremism and preaches sectarian division. In response, al-Azhar prepared “simplified” versions of the classical fiqh textbooks to be used at the middle, and high school levels. This study seeks to answer the following questions: What was the nature of these modifications in the fiqh curriculum? What were the topics discussed in the Islamic Heritage subject? Were the modifications motivated by ideological or pedagogical reasons? Were the modifications a state-sponsored project or ʿulamā led-effort? Using comparative content analysis and focusing on the fiqh sections of the middle- and high-school textbooks, this study compares the “simplified” content with the original content to identify patterns of change and to propose reasons behind the changes. My analysis suggests that one main purpose of the modifications was to make the fiqh textbooks age-appropriate to middle and high school students. Additionally, my comparison shows the systemic removal of topics and passages that could be seen as threatening the national security of Egypt. This is in addition to the topics discussed in the Islamic Heritage subject which aimed at strengthening national unity and countering extremism. Hence, I argue that state stability, national unity, and security were main purposes for curricular modification. However, did this make the curricular changes a state-led project? Evidence suggests that, though the curricular changes eventually served the state and its stability, they were not directed by the state, but rather were conducted in accordance with the Azharī ʿulamā’s conceptualization of a revival (tajdīd) of the Islamic tradition (turāth). The study contributes to the scholarly literature on modern Egypt by bringing attention to the country’s Islamic educational system and by highlighting the role al-Azhar can play in maintaining the stability of the state and strengthening national unity during critical times.

description: In his seminal paper [1], Araki introduced an elegant extension of the Jordan-Wigner transformation which establishes a precise connection between quantum spin systems and Fermi lattice gases in one dimension in the so-called infinite system idealization of quantum statistical mechanics. His extension allows in particular for the rigorous study of numerous aspects of the prominent XY chain over the two sided infinite discrete line without having to resort to a thermodynamic limit procedure at an intermediate or at the final stage. We rigorously review and elaborate this extension from scratch which makes the paper rather self-contained. In the course of the construction, we also present a simple and concrete realization of Araki's crossed product extension.

description: ABSTRACT  Introduction: Outdoor play is a highly valued childhood occupation, and essential for health and well-being. Certain characteristics contribute to successful outdoor play such as the experience of fun, the opportunity for challenge and risk, or the freedom to choose and self-initiate play. Analysis of social and physical environmental characteristics of community playgrounds is central in determining the influence of the environment on children’s outdoor play. It is unknown what instruments exist that allow occupational therapist to investigate playgrounds to maximize play participation. Objectives: To review, describe and appraise “audits, assessments, and checklists” aimed at measuring environmental qualities of community playspace, that support outdoor play, and play participation. Method: Databases were searched, and a manual search of grey literature was performed to identify instruments that considered environmental qualities, relating to outdoor play and playgrounds. Instruments were reviewed, charted, and mapped out to identify what constructs are measured. Results: The outcome of the analysis comprises a description of a) what and how constructs are measured, b) how the instruments are administered, c) for what population they are intended, d) in what cultural context they were developed, e) the viewpoint captured, and f) what test criteria are evident for the interpretation of test scores. Conclusion: The identification of gaps in current tools for environmental analysis is an important step in addressing outdoor play, and inclusive playspace design. There is a need to develop conceptually sound and methodological rigorous assessment tools to maximise our capacity to deliver context-based occupational therapy practices.

description: The functional meaning associated with neuronal activity in the mammalian brain is an active area of research limited by the available microscope instrumentation. Exploring this domain of neuroscience necessitates high-speed 3D imaging operating over 1 kHz volumetric scan rates with sub-cellular resolution, as action potentials propagate on sub-millisecond time scales. Monitoring these signals requires in vivo experimentation, so additional care must be taken to avoid invasive methods that may damage sample tissue to live animal subjects. Multi-photon imaging provides an opportunity for non-invasive microscopy with optical sectioning while simultaneously deeply penetrating brain tissue. However, current multi-photon microscopy methods are limited to 10-100 Hz volumetric imaging rates. This thesis explores and expands upon a potential high-speed 2-photon imaging technology, 2-photon Line Excitation Array Detection (2p-LEAD) microscopy. 2p-LEAD combines line scanning with detection via a multi-channel photomultiplier tube (PMT) array, with the potential to operate at 125 kHz frame rates. In the experimental prototype outlined in this thesis, a 1035 nm excitation line of 2.4 µm x 259 µm (1/e2 beam intensity diameter) is scanned at the focal plane. The resulting fluorescence is collected by a 16-channel linear PMT array. With a fast-scanning galvanometric mirror, we scan the excitation line at 3,000 FPS, generating a 170 µm x 75 µm fluorescence FOV imaged to a 16 x 320 pixel frame. Temporal focusing was implemented to improve optical sectioning and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), by reducing the out of focus fluorescent signal. This reduction was achieved by dispersing the pulse-width from 300 fs at the focus to multiple picoseconds. 0.5-2 µm fluorescent polystyrene beads were imaged to characterize the system resolution of 1-5.3 µm laterally. Thus this research lays the groundwork for 2p-LEAD imaging at 125 kHz, with an acousto-optic deflector replacing the galvo-mirror as the primary scanning element, for high-speed neuronal imaging.

description: Low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy is used to image the doped topological insulator Bi$_{2-x}$Fe$_x$Se$_3$. Interstitial Fe defects allow the detection of quasiparticle interference (QPI), and the reconstruction of the empty state band structure. Quantitative comparison between measured data and density functional theory calculations reveals the unexpected coexistence of quantum well states (QWS) with topological surface states (TSS) on the atomically clean surface of Bi$_{2-x}$Fe$_x$Se$_3$. Spectroscopic measurements quantify the breakdown of linear dispersion due to hexagonal warping. Nonetheless, both QWS and TSS remain spin-polarized and protected from backscattering to almost 1 eV above the Dirac point, suggesting their utility for spin-based applications.

description: Muon spin rotation/relaxation ($μ$SR) and polar Kerr effect measurements provide evidence for a time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) superconducting state in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. However, the absence of a cusp in the superconducting transition temperature ($T_{\rm c}$) vs. stress and the absence of a resolvable specific heat anomaly at TRSB transition temperature ($T_{\rm TRSB}$) under uniaxial stress challenge a hypothesis of TRSB superconductivity. Recent $μ$SR studies under pressure and with disorder indicate that the splitting between $T_{\rm c}$ and $T_{\rm TRSB}$ occurs only when the structural tetragonal symmetry is broken. To further test such behavior, we measured $T_\text{c}$ through susceptibility measurements, and $T_\text{TRSB}$ through $μ$SR, under uniaxial stress applied along a $\langle 110 \rangle$ lattice direction. We have obtained preliminary evidence for suppression of $T_\text{TRSB}$ below $T_\text{c}$, at a rate much higher than the suppression rate of $T_\text{c}$.

description: We report the first planet discovery from the two-wheeled Kepler (K2) mission: HIP 116454 b. The host star HIP 116454 is a bright (V = 10.1, K = 8.0) K1-dwarf with high proper motion, and a parallax-based distance of 55.2 +/- 5.4 pc. Based on high-resolution optical spectroscopy, we find that the host star is metal-poor with [Fe/H] = -.16 +/- .18, and has a radius R = 0.716 +/- .0024 R_sun and mass M = .775 +/- .027 Msun. The star was observed by the Kepler spacecraft during its Two-Wheeled Concept Engineering Test in February 2014. During the 9 days of observations, K2 observed a single transit event. Using a new K2 photometric analysis technique we are able to correct small telescope drifts and recover the observed transit at high confidence, corresponding to a planetary radius of Rp = 2.53 +/- 0.18 Rearth. Radial velocity observations with the HARPS-N spectrograph reveal a 11.82 +/- 1.33 Mearth planet in a 9.1 day orbit, consistent with the transit depth, duration, and ephemeris. Follow-up photometric measurements from the MOST satellite confirm the transit observed in the K2 photometry and provide a refined ephemeris, making HIP 116454 b amenable for future follow-up observations of this latest addition to the growing population of transiting super-Earths around nearby, bright stars.

description: In the United States, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 serves a critical role in protecting and ensuring that all students, including students classified as English Language Learners (ELLs), have access to educational opportunities. This study explores how federal enforcement of civil rights laws and regulations protects students and their families from discrimination. In particular, the study addresses how the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces federal laws for ELLs in the states of California and Texas, and the impact of that enforcement on ELLs and their school communities. Through an analysis of four OCR complaint cases, the study explores how OCR investigates cases and reaches resolution agreements that influence school districts’ and states’ educational policies and procedures for ELLs. The findings of this study reveal that OCR follows a rigid protocol during the investigation process of complaints limited to the parameters of the legal standards in question. Yet, once OCR finds evidence of deficiencies and/or noncompliance, OCR conducts a thorough investigation and provides specific next steps and accountability procedures that impact ELLs and their school communities. This study provides policy recommendations on OCR’s complaint process and the agency’s role in providing resources and support to school districts as they build infrastructures to provide meaningful educational opportunities to ELLs.
Convexity of the entanglement entropy of Su(2n)-symmetric fermions with attractive interactions

description: The positivity of the probability measure of attractively interacting systems of 2N-component fermions enables the derivation of an exact convexity property for the ground-state energy of such systems. Using analogous arguments, applied to path-integral expressions for the entanglement entropy derived recently, we prove nonperturbative analytic relations for the Rényi entropies of those systems. These relations are valid for all subsystem sizes, particle numbers, and dimensions, and in arbitrary external trapping potentials.

description: The antipsychotic drugs are caused by dopamine blockade in the nigrostriatal pathway and can be distressing and disabling for patients. Anticholinergic agents are commonly used to treat or prevent extrapyramidal symptoms by restoring the balance between dopamine and acetylcholine in the brain. Anticholinergics are drugs that block the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in various functions of the nervous system. These drugs are used to treat some side effects of antipsychotics, such as haloperidol, which can cause extrapyramidal symptoms, such as involuntary movement disturbances.The most used anticholinergics, such as biperiden, trihexyphenidyl, tropicamide, and procyclidine, are primarily used to treat the extrapyramidal side effects induced by some antipsychotics. These drugs act on the muscarinic receptors of acetylcholine, which are found in the striatum, an area of the brain involved in movement control. In this way, anticholinergics help restore the balance between dopamine and acetylcholine and improve symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, parkinsonism, dystonia, and akathisia. However, anticholinergics can also have side effects for patients who take them along with antipsychotics, common side effects of anticholinergic medications include, blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention, cognitive impairment, delirium, dry mouth, increased salivation, loss of appetite, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, difficulty falling or staying asleep, and lack of energy. These effects may be more severe in older people or people with other illnesses. Therefore, the use of anticholinergics for haloperidol-induced extrapyramidal symptoms should be based on the type, severity, and duration of extrapyramidal symptoms, as well as the patient's age, and comorbidities.

Velocity renormalization in graphene from lattice monte carlo

description: We compute the Fermi velocity of the Dirac quasiparticles in clean graphene at the charge neu- Trality point for strong Coulomb coupling ag. We perform a Lattice Monte Carlo calculation within the low-energy Dirac theory, which includes an instantaneous, long-range Coulomb in- Teraction. We find a renormalized Fermi velocity vFR > vF, where vF ≃ c=300. Our results are consistent with a momentum-independent vFR which increases approximately linearly with ag, although a logarithmic running with momentum cannot be excluded at present. At the predicted critical coupling agc for the semimetal-insulator transition due to excitonic pair formation, we find vFR=vF ≃ 3:3, which we discuss in light of experimental findings for vFR=vF at the charge neutrality point in ultra-clean suspended graphene.

Saturation magnetization (MS) value of about 2 Bohr magneton/f.u. is observed at 8 K under ambient pressure, which is in good agreement with the Slater-Pauling rule. MS values are found to be independent of pressure, which is a prerequisite for half-metals. The ab-initio electronic structure calculations predict half-metallic nature for the alloy with a spin slitting energy of 0.31 eV. Importantly, this system shows a high current spin polarization value of 0.67 [with error of 0.02], as deduced from the point contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) measurements. Linear dependence of electrical resistivity with temperature indicates the possibility of reasonably high spin polarization at elevated temperatures (~150 K) as well. All these suggest that CoFeCrAl is a promising material for the spintronic devices.

description: We present an abinitio determination of the shear viscosity η of the unitary Fermi gas, based on finite temperature quantum MonteCarlo calculations and the Kubo linear-response formalism. We determine the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity-to-entropy density ratio η/s. The minimum of η/s appears to be located above the critical temperature for the superfluid-to-normal phase transition with the most probable value being (η/s) min0.2/k B, which is close the Kovtun-Son-Starinets universal value /(4πk B).
Go green or stay on red: critical time in humanitarian action

description: This dissertation focuses on humanitarian action and security in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in the DRC and the Central Africa region. Using the humanitarian-security-development paradigm, I tackle the problem of the ineffectiveness of the traditional approach to humanitarian intervention in Africa, and provide a critical path to a systemic shift towards long-term stability and security by developing innovative institutional and operational mechanisms for peace recovery.On the security front, I argue that peace recovery through humanitarian action requires that the anchors of traditional security in indigenous Africa, based on sociological factors such as ethnicity and cultural dynamics, be integrated into the modern security framework. In addition to the security factor, I contend that addressing the issue of identity crises that are engendered and fueled by displacement during violent conflicts is equally important for long-term recovery. I argue that this could best be accomplished by applying an overarching ideology, such as Pan-Africanism, to aid in the victims’ construction of a more inclusive identity. Additionally, to further ensure effectiveness in humanitarian operations and delivery, I argue that the crisis of institutional deficits should be addressed through the empowerment and participation of local actors such as church leaders, organizations in civil society, traditional leaders, and other local authorities who are currently excluded or ignored in the design and implementation of humanitarian policies and strategies, despite their influential roles in local communities. I further emphasized that such an effort by itself would not be successful if sustainable solutions to the problem of post-conflict military integration are not provided. Hence, I suggest the use of transitional public security principles, focusing on rebuilding trust within the military ranks, professionalization of the defense forces, and the restoration of civilian-military relations as critical elements. To the above systemic and structural efforts, I argue for the adoption of practical solutions that address the issue of refugees and IDPs who are living in the camps. These strategies should be people-centered, with the victims making any decision regarding their readiness to return or reintegrate into their old communities. This readiness must be followed by an assessment of factors such as the institutional viability and legitimacy of actors in the country or communities to which refugees or IDPs might return. I conclude that it is only when these factors are considered and implemented under one integrated humanitarian framework that security will be recovered and peace guaranteed, both in the DRC and in the broader region.
At least for me, it's empowering: the changing experience of sex work in the digital age

description: This study examines how a unique group of sex workers uses the Internet to do their jobs, and how this new technology has affected different areas of their lives: how participants came to enter sex work, create and shape identities in real and digital spaces, and how they perceive and respond to on-the-job risks. Though the workers interviewed participated in different kinds of sex work that was delivered in a variety of ways, they shared a reliance on technology, and described similar processes concerning their entrance, and the management of their identity, business and security concerns.This project moves away from the “traditional” research paradigms of legality, deviance, and public health and instead uses qualitative research methods to investigate how digital workers use new technologies to create new systems and structures to aid in entrance and address issues in their work. Data was gathered through 50 in-depth interviews with a sample of sex workers from a variety of western nations who rely on Internet technology for their work. Study participants were identified using snowball sampling methods and the interviews were conducted using a semi- structured interview guide that included questions pertaining to how they entered sex work, the daily processes of their work life, and the broader implications of sex work in both society and their personal lives.This investigation explores the contours of digital sex work, utilizing the experiences of a range of digital providers to argue that the Internet has created substantial changes to the organization of, incentives for, and challenges associated with sex work for those who rely on it for their work. This research joins a growing catalog of scholarship examining the changing social and technological landscape of sex work. Research on the normative aspects of sex work is rare and examining the impact of technology on the way workers construct new tools and systems to address long-standing issues is incredibly important. The dissertation offers new theoretical insights along with recommendations for policy and future opportunities to further scholarship on sex work in the digital age.

description: Reliable determination of the basic physical properties of hot emission-line binaries with Roche-lobe filling secondaries is important for developing the theory of mass exchange in binaries. It is a very hard task, however, which is complicated by the presence of circumstellar matter in these systems. So far, only a small number of systems with accurate values of component masses, radii, and other properties are known. Here, we report the first detailed study of a new representative of this class of binaries, BR CMi, based on the analysis of radial velocities and multichannel photometry from several observatories, and compare its physical properties with those for other well-studied systems. BR CMi is an ellipsoidal variable seen under an intermediate orbital inclination of ~51 degrees, and it has an orbital period of 12.919059(15) d and a circular orbit. We used the disentangled component spectra to estimate the effective temperatures 9500(200) K and 4655(50) K by comparing them with model spectra. They correspond to spectral types B9.5e and G8III. We also used the disentangled spectra of both binary components as templates for the 2-D cross-correlation to obtain accurate RVs and a reliable orbital solution. Some evidence of a secular period increase at a rate of 1.1+/-0.5 s per year was found. This, together with a very low mass ratio of 0.06 and a normal mass and radius of the mass gaining component, indicates that BR CMi is in a slow phase of the mass exchange after the mass-ratio reversal. It thus belongs to a still poorly populated subgroup of Be stars for which the origin of Balmer emission lines is safely explained as a consequence of mass transfer between the binary components.

Improved lattice operators for nonrelativistic fermions
Creators: name: Drut, J.E.
Publisher: name: American Physical Society
Year: 2012

description: In this work I apply a recently proposed improvement procedure, originally conceived to reduce finite lattice-spacing effects in transfer matrices for dilute Fermi systems, to tuning operators for the calculation of observables. I construct, in particular, highly improved representations for the energy and the contact as a first step in an improvement program for finite-temperature calculations. I illustrate the effects of improvement on those quantities with a ground-state lattice calculation at unitarity.

description: Temporal networks of face-to-face interactions between individuals are useful proxies of the dynamics of social systems on fast time scales. Several empirical statistical properties of these networks have been shown to be robust across a large variety of contexts. In order to better grasp the role of various mechanisms of social interactions in the emergence of these properties, models in which schematic implementations of such mechanisms can be carried out have proven useful. Here, we put forward a new framework to model temporal networks of human interactions, based on the idea of a co-evolution and feedback between (i) an observed network of instantaneous interactions and (ii) an underlying unobserved social bond network: social bonds partially drive interaction opportunities, and in turn are reinforced by interactions and weakened or even removed by the lack of interactions. Through this co-evolution, we also integrate in the model well-known mechanisms such as triadic closure, but also the impact of {shared social context} and {non-intentional (casual) interactions}, with several tunable parameters. We then propose a method to compare the statistical properties of each version of the model with empirical face-to-face interaction data sets, to determine which sets of mechanisms lead to realistic social temporal networks within this modeling framework.
The effects of politicization in public organizations

description: The politicization of the civil service is one of the most analyzed and debated issues of public management over the last two decades. Regardless of all the institutional reforms implemented by governments to control this phenomenon, politicization continues jeopardizing the governance and public management of countries, especially those underdeveloped and developing countries. Several studies have inquired into the macro-effects of politicization comparing countries while others have confirmed the negative consequences politicization has on organizational performance. However, how such effects start at agencies, at the micro-level of public administration remains elusive. The purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to further inquiry into the effects that politicization has in public agencies. The driving question of this dissertation is what the effects of politicization into public organizations are. The notion of politicization has regularly been associated to the appointments of people in organizations, I examined the consequences of other notions of politicization, such as the influence exerted by political advisors into public agencies, as well as the pressures received by civil servants to manipulate objective information. To inquire into the effects of politicization in public agencies I first used qualitative data from 16 case studies and 70 interviews, which helped to explore the effects managerial politicization— or, alternatively, meritocratic recruitment of senior executives— has in public agencies, as well as to identify other broader manifestations of the phenomenon, beyond its conventional notion of appointing people due to political reasons. The qualitative stages informed the design of a survey distributed in Chile that contained four experiments testing the effects of different expressions of politicization of agencies such as the conventional appointment of managers, the influence of political advisors on administrative decisions as well as the manipulation of objective information. The results of this dissertation confirm that managerial politicization and other forms of politicization produce negative effects on the attitudes and the behavior of public personnel, as well as on other organizational features. The results confirmed a negative impact on the job satisfaction of civil servants, their work motivation and their organizational commitment. The findings also confirm that politicization causes a decline in the distributive justice and the workplace trust of bureaucrats.
