description: Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in using Virtual Reality (VR) technology to benefit instruction, especially in physics and related subjects. As VR devices improve and become more widely available, there remains a number of unanswered questions regarding the impact of VR on student learning and how best to use this technology in the classroom. On the topic of electrostatics, for example, a large, controlled, randomized study performed by Smith et al. 2017\cite{smith17}, found that VR-based instruction had an overall negligible impact on student learning compared to videos or images. However, they did find a strong trend for students who reported frequent video game play to learn better from VR than other media. One possible interpretation of this result is that extended videogame play provides a kind of "training" that enables a student to learn more comfortably in the virtual environment. In the present work we consider if a VR training activity that is unrelated to electrostatics can help prepare students to learn electrostatics from subsequent VR instruction. We find that preliminary VR training leads to a small but statistically significant improvement in student performance on our electrostatics assessment. We also find that student reported game play is still correlated with higher scores on this metric.

description: We report on the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of multiwall carbon nanotubes with ultra small diameters. In particular, we consider the effect of the inter-wall interactions and the lead/nanotube coupling. Comparative studies have been performed to show that in the case when all walls are well coupled to the electrodes, the so-called inverse GMR can appear. The tendency towards a negative GMR depends on the inter-wall interaction and on the nanotube le ngth. If, however, the inner nanotubes are out of contact with one of the electrodes, the GMR remains positive even for relatively strong inter-wall interactions regardless of the outer nanotube length. These results shed additional light on recently reported experimental data, where an inverse GMR was found in some multiwall carbon nanotube samples.

description: Understanding the scalability of parallel programs is crucial for software optimization and hardware architecture design. As HPC hardware is moving towards many-core design, it becomes increasingly difficult for a parallel program to make effective use of all available processor cores. This makes scalability analysis increasingly important. This paper presents a quantitative study for characterizing the scalability of sparse matrix-vector multiplications (SpMV) on Phytium FT-2000+, an ARM-based many-core architecture for HPC computing. We choose to study SpMV as it is a common operation in scientific and HPC applications. Due to the newness of ARM-based many-core architectures, there is little work on understanding the SpMV scalability on such hardware design. To close the gap, we carry out a large-scale empirical evaluation involved over 1,000 representative SpMV datasets. We show that, while many computation-intensive SpMV applications contain extensive parallelism, achieving a linear speedup is non-trivial on Phytium FT-2000+. To better understand what software and hardware parameters are most important for determining the scalability of a given SpMV kernel, we develop a performance analytical model based on the regression tree. We show that our model is highly effective in characterizing SpMV scalability, offering useful insights to help application developers for better optimizing SpMV on an emerging HPC architecture.

description: We address the theory of quasi-static crack propagation in a strip of glass that is pulled from a hot oven towards a cold bath. This problem had been carefully studied in a number of experiments that offer a wealth of data to challenge the theory. We improve upon previous theoretical treatments in a number of ways. First, we offer a technical improvement of the discussion of the instability towards the creation of a straight crack. This improvement consists of employing Padé approximants to solve the relevant Weiner-Hopf factorization problem that is associated with this transition. Next we improve the discussion of the onset of oscillatory instability towards an undulating crack. We offer a novel way of considering the problem as a sum of solutions of a finite strip without a crack and an infinite medium with a crack. This allows us to present a closed form solution of the stress intensity factors in the vicinity of the oscillatory instability. Most importantly we develop a {\em dynamical} description of the actual trajectory in the regime of oscillatory crack. This theory is based on the dynamical law for crack propagation proposed by Hodgdon and Sethna. We show that this dynamical law results in a solution of the actual track trajectory in post critical conditions; we can compute from first principles the critical value of the control parameters, and the characteristics of the solution like the wavelength of the oscillations. We present detailed comparison with experimental measurements without any free parameter. The comparison appears quite excellent. Lastly we show that the dynamical law can be translated to an equation for the amplitude of the oscillatory crack; this equation predicts correctly the scaling exponents observed in experiments.

description: The Kohn-Luttinger mechanism for unconventional superconductivity (SC) driven by weak repulsive electron-electron interactions on a periodic lattice is generalized to the quasicrystal (QC) via a real-space perturbative approach. The repulsive Hubbard model on the Penrose lattice is studied as an example, on which a classification of the pairing symmetries is performed and a pairing phase diagram is obtained. Two remarkable properties of these pairing states are revealed, due to the combination of the presence of the point-group symmetry and the lack of translation symmetry on this lattice. Firstly, the spin and spacial angular momenta of a Cooper pair is de-correlated: for each pairing symmetry, both spin-singlet and spin-triplet pairings are possible even in the weak-pairing limit. Secondly, the pairing states belonging to the 2D irreducible representations of the $D_5$ point group can be time-reversal-symmetry-breaking topological SCs carrying spontaneous bulk super current and spontaneous vortices. These two remarkable properties are general for the SCs on all QCs, and are rare on periodic lattices. Our work starts the new area of unconventional SCs driven by repulsive interactions on the QC.

description: The diversity of data management systems affords developers the luxury of building systems with heterogeneous systems that address needs that are unique to the data. It allows one to mix-n-match systems that can store, query, update, and process data, based on specific use cases. However, this heterogeneity brings with it the burden of developing custom interfaces for each data management system. Developers are required to build high-performance APIs for data access while adopting best-practices governing security, data privacy, and access control. These include user authentication, data authorization, role-based access control, and audit mechanisms to avoid compromising the security standards mandated by data providers. In this paper, we present Bindaas, a secure, extensible big data middleware that offers uniform access to diverse data sources. By providing a standard RESTful web service interface to the data sources, Bindaas exposes query, update, store, and delete functionality of the data sources as data service APIs, while providing turn-key support for standard operations involving security, access control, and audit-trails. Bindaas consists of optional features, such as query and response modifiers as well as plugins that implement composable and reusable data operations on the data. The research community has deployed Bindaas in various production environments in healthcare. Our evaluations highlight the efficiency of Bindaas in serving concurrent requests to data source instances. We further observe that the overheads caused by Bindaas on the data sources are negligible.

Fast error detection method for additive manufacturing process monitoring using structured light three dimensional imaging technique

description: Monitoring of additive manufacturing (AM) processes allows for saving time and materials by detecting and addressing errors as they occur. When fast and efficient, the monitored AM of each unit can be completed in less time, thus improving overall economics and allowing the user to accept a higher capacity of AM requests with the same number of machines. Based on existing AM process monitoring solutions, it is very challenging for any approach to analyze full-resolution sensor data that yields three-dimensional (3D) topological information for closed-loop real-time applications. It is also challenging for any approach to be simultaneously capable of plug-and-play operation once AM hardware and sensor subsystems are configured. This thesis presents a novel method to speed up error detection in an additive manufacturing (AM) process by minimizing the necessary three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and comparison. A structured light 3D imaging technique is developed that has native pixel-by-pixel mapping between the captured two-dimensional (2D) absolute phase image and the reconstructed 3D point cloud. This 3D imaging technique allows error detection to be performed in the 2D absolute phase image domain prior to 3D point cloud generation, which drastically reduces complexity and computational time. For each layer of an AM process, an artificial threshold phase image is generated and compared to the measured absolute phase image to identify error regions. Compared to an existing AM error detection method based on 3D reconstruction and point cloud processing, experimental results from a material extrusion (MEX) AM process demonstrate that the proposed method has comparable error detection capabilities. The proposed method also significantly increases the error detection speed, where the relationship between the speed improvement factor and the percentage of erroneous pixels in the captured 2D image follows a power-law relationship. The proposed method was also successfully used to implement closed-loop error correction to demonstrate a potential process monitoring application.

description: Key government strategic development plans in South Africa have perpetually identified livestock farming as one of the vital strategies to alleviate poverty, secure livelihoods and improve food security in rural South Africa. However, livestock remains vulnerable to animal disease that threaten productivity and food security of smallholder farmers. Efficient animal production and control of animal diseases are identified as two of the main challenges that need urgent attention. Using data collected on 593 smallholder farmers in five provinces of South Africa, this paper uses partial proportional odds modelling to evaluate the determinants of livestock keeper's choice of primary animal health care practices. The primary animal health practises considered are biosecurity measures, vaccination and supplementary feeding. The analysis revealed that markets, animal handling facilities, contact with animal health practitioner, farmer association, household size, information, household income, number of goats and perceptions about the effectiveness and use of vaccines were the main determinants of farmer's choice of primary anima heath care practises. The study recommends intensification of programmes that seek to promote farmers; capacity development, social capital, improved inclusive facilitated access to markets and animal handling facilities in order to expedite increased farmers uptake of animal health care practises.

By monitoring spin-state populations in the presence of microwave magnetic fields, the energy splittings between low lying high spin superposition states of SMM Ni$_4$ ($S$ = 4) have been measured. Absorption linewidths give an upper bound on the rate of decoherence. Pulsed microwave experiments provide a direct measure of the spin-lattice relaxation time, which is found to be remarkably long ($\sim$sec) and to increase with the energy splitting.

description: Waste management has become a critical issue across the globe, especially in the metropolitan regions. This paper is focusing on the potential for organic waste utilization and management through urban agriculture in different countries, using the Netherlands as a case study. Furthermore, the difficulties and/or risks of utilizing organic waste through urban agriculture is described. Waste management hierarchy shows the invention, such that in the conventional, there is more of disposal of waste and less of waste reduction. However, the new proposal is to have more reduction of waste and less of waste disposal. This is where urban agriculture comes in through the re-use and recycling of waste, giving room for the opportunity of better waste management though urban agriculture. The benefits or opportunities of utilizing organic waste through urban agriculture were explained with the reference from relevant literature. The results of the study done by researchers in the Hague Municipality, Netherlands have been used to provide a picture of current and potential role of urban agriculture in managing organic waste.

description: We present a perturbative QCD based model for vacuum and in-medium hadronization. The effects of induced energy loss and nuclear absorption have been included. The main objective is the determination of the relative contribution of these mechanisms to the multiplicity ratio observable, measured in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering off deuterium and nuclear targets. This is directly related to the determination of the production length, $Lp$, necessary for a quark to turn into a prehadron. We compare our results with HERMES data for multiplicity ratio and $p_t$-broadening, and show that the description of the whole data set, keeping the model parameters fixed, puts strong constrains on $Lp$. Contrary to induced-energy-loss based models, we find an important contribution from nuclear absorption at HERMES energies. Finally, we discuss some consequences of our study for the LHC physics, and we present the model predictions for the future EIC experiment.

description: The paper's aim was to investigate Consumer perception and preference between broiler and indigenous chicken meat in Limpopo Province, South Africa. In this purpose 216 individuals participated to a questionnaire based survey in Mankweng Township. Factor analysis and chi square analysis was used to analyse the consumers' perceptions towards broilers and indigenous chicken meat. Cronbach alpha value was used to study the properties of measurement scales. The results pointed out an increased study found that where 53% of respondent prefers broiler chicken meat while 47% prefers indigenous chicken meat. Most of persons used to buy meat from supermarket (65%), being advantaged to purchase more food and goods at one way saving time. About 18% persons used to buy meat from hypermarket, 11% from street vendors, 4% produce their chicken meat for consumption and 2% buy from farm gate. Food choice questionnaire highlight that preference of food items is divided into ten categories which are health, mood, convenience, sensory appeal, natural content, price, familiarity and ethical concern. The Cronbach's alpha for this research is 0.748, where number of Cases = 216 and number of Items = 15. So, the research is an acceptable one. With this analysis, the first question of the compare and analyse the influence of consumers' preference between broiler and indigenous chicken meat. Therefore, all factors are acceptably important for consumers' preference and perceptions. Key word: Chronbach alpha, preference, perception

description: In this work, a general definition of convolution between two arbitrary Tempered Ultradistributions is given. When one of the Tempered Ultradistributions is rapidly decreasing this definition coincides with the definition of J. Sebastiao e Silva. In the four-dimensional case, when the Tempered Ultradistributions are even in the variables $k^0$ and $ρ$ (see Section 5) we obtain an expression for the convolution, which is more suitable for practical applications. The product of two arbitrary even (in the variables $x^0$ and $r$) four dimensional distributions of exponential type is defined via the convolution of its corresponding Fourier Transforms. With this definition of convolution, we treat the problem of singular products of Green Functions in Quantum Field Theory. (For Renormalizable as well as for Nonrenormalizable Theories). Several examples of convolution of two Tempered Ultradistributions are given. In particular we calculate the convolution of two massless Wheeeler's propagators and the convolution of two complex mass Wheeler's propagators.

description: Commodity prices exhibit differing levels of mean reversion and unit root tests are a standard part of the analysis of commodity price series. Changing underlying means are inherent in commodity prices and can create biased estimates if not correctly specified when performing unit root tests. Prominent financial models include terms for both mean reversion and unit roots but assume that mean reversion occurs gradually over time. Other models such as the popular error correction models require the researcher to determine if prices are either mean-reverting or follow a unit root process. We discuss the models commonly used for commodity prices and how their assumptions align with how commodity spot and futures prices actually behave. We argue for using panel unit root tests for futures prices as they allow for differing underlying means across futures contracts. Cash prices are difficult as none of the currently available models captures their likely stochastic process. Current models, however, can still be useful as close approximations.

description: For hole systems with an effective spin j=3/2, we present an invariant decomposition of the spin density matrix that can be interpreted as a multipole expansion. The charge density corresponds to the monopole moment and the spin polarization due to a magnetic field corresponds to a dipole moment while heavy hole-light hole splitting can be interpreted as a quadrupole moment. For quasi two-dimensional hole systems in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field B the spin polarization is a higher-order effect that is typically much smaller than one even if the minority spin subband is completely depopulated. On the other hand, the field B can induce a substantial octupole moment which is a unique feature of j=3/2 hole systems.

Remarks. First discovered on 13 March 2001 at BTNR (Grismer et al. 2002), D. quinquefasciatus was considered rare (Baker & Lim 2012). This record appears to have been overlooked by Teo & Thomas (2019) as they stated D. quinquefasciatus was previously unrecorded from BTNR. Two photographs of D. quinquefasciatus shown in Baker & Lim (2012) indicate that it was sighted presumably after Grismer et al. (2002). Baker & Lim (2012) also mentioned that D. quinquefasciatus occurs in CNR, implying the photos were taken somewhere within CCNR (Subaraj 2015). Three subsequent observations of an individual at Mandai Track 15 on 24 February 2015 (Subaraj 2015), one at WNP on 3 April 2016 (Sankar & Ng 2016a), and one photographed at LPF on 19 February 2017 (Fig. 11B) (J.G.H. Seah pers. comm.) display that D. quinquefasciatus is distributed throughout CNR and its surrounding nature parks.

description: Single-photon sources based on semiconductor quantum dots have emerged as an excellent platform for high efficiency quantum light generation. However, scalability remains a challenge since quantum dots generally present inhomogeneous characteristics. Here we benchmark the performance of fifteen deterministically fabricated single-photon sources. They display an average indistinguishability of 90.6 +/- 2.8 % with a single-photon purity of 95.4 +/- 1.5 % and high homogeneity in operation wavelength and temporal profile. Each source also has state-of-the-art brightness with an average first lens brightness value of 13.6 +/- 4.4 %. Whilst the highest brightness is obtained with a charged quantum dot, the highest quantum purity is obtained with neutral ones. We also introduce various techniques to identify the nature of the emitting state. Our study sets the groundwork for large-scale fabrication of identical sources by identifying the remaining challenges and outlining solutions.

 Holaspina Berlese, 1916: 298. Type species Holaspina pulchella Berlese, 1916 (= Macrocheles muscorum Ewing, 1909), by original designation.
 Neoparholaspulus Krantz, 1960: 410. Type species Neoparholaspulus coalescens Krantz, 1960: 411, by original designation. Synonymy by Johnston, 1969: 272.
 Note: Johnston (1969) showed that Neoparholaspulus Krantz, 1960 is a junior synonym of Holaspina Berlese, 1916, and we have accepted that decision here. Johnston also referred to unpublished evidence suggesting that Parholaspulus Evans, 1956 is a synonym of Holaspina but, in the absence of that evidence, we here treat Parholaspulus as a valid genus. The genital shield and ventrianal shield are fused in Holaspina, but separate in Parholaspulus.

description: As toxic language becomes nearly pervasive online, there has been increasing interest in leveraging the advancements in natural language processing (NLP), from very large transformer models to automatically detecting and removing toxic comments. Despite the fairness concerns, lack of adversarial robustness, and limited prediction explainability for deep learning systems, there is currently little work for auditing these systems and understanding how they work for both developers and users. We present our ongoing work, RECAST, an interactive tool for examining toxicity detection models by visualizing explanations for predictions and providing alternative wordings for detected toxic speech.

description: Futures market contracts with varying maturities are traded concurrently and the speed at which they process information is of value in understanding the pricing discovery process. Using price discovery measures, including Putninš’ (2013) information leadership share and intraday data, we quantify the proportional contribution of price discovery between nearby and deferred contracts in the corn and live cattle futures markets. Price discovery is more systematic in the corn than in the live cattle market. On average, nearby contracts lead all deferred contracts in price discovery in the corn market, but have a relatively less dominant role in the live cattle market. In both markets, the nearby contract loses dominance when its relative volume share dips below 50%, which occurs about 2-3 weeks before expiration in corn and 5-6 weeks before expiration in live cattle. Regression results indicate that the share of price discovery is most closely linked to trading volume but is also affected, to far less degree, by time to expiration, backwardation, USDA announcements and market crashes. The effects of these other factors vary between the markets which likely reflect the difference in storability as well as other market-related characteristics.

Emergence of weak pyrochlore phase and signature of field induced spin ice ground state in Dy$_{2-x}$La$_{x}$Zr$_{2}$O$_{7}$; x = 0, 0.15, 0.3

description: The pyrochlore oxides Dy$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$ and Ho$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$ are well studied spin ice systems and have shown the evidences of magnetic monopole excitations. Unlike these, Dy$_{2}$Zr$_{2}$O$_{7}$ is reported to crystallize in a distorted fluorite structure. We present here the magnetic and heat capacity studies of La substituted Dy$_{2}$Zr$_{2}$O$_{7}$. Our findings suggest the absence of spin ice state in Dy$_{2}$Zr$_{2}$O$_{7}$ but the emergence of the magnetic field induced spin freezing near T $\approx$ 10 K in ac susceptibility measurements which is similar to Dy$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$. The magnetic heat capacity of Dy$_{2}$Zr$_{2}$O$_{7}$ shows a shift in the peak position from 1.2 K in zero field to higher temperatures in the magnetic field, with the corresponding decrease in the magnetic entropy. The low temperature magnetic entropy at 5 kOe field is Rln2 - (1/2)Rln(3/2) which is same as for the spin ice state. Substitution of non-magnetic, isovalent La$^{3+}$ for Dy$^{3+}$ gradually induces the structural change from highly disordered fluorite to weakly ordered pyrochlore phase. The La$^{3+}$ substituted compounds with less distorted pyrochlore phase show the spin freezing at lower field which strengthens further on the application of magnetic field. Our results suggest that the spin ice state can be stabilized in Dy$_{2}$Zr$_{2}$O$_{7}$ either by slowing down of the spin dynamics or by strengthening the pyrochlore phase by suitable substitution in the system.
