description: Starting from the classical formulation of the weak turbulence theory in a density stratified fluid, we derive a simplified version of the kinetic equation of internal gravity wave turbulence. This equation allows us to uncover scaling laws for the spatial and temporal energy spectra of internal wave turbulence which are consistent with typical scaling exponents observed in the oceans. The keystone of our description is the assumption that the energy transfers are dominated by a class of non-local resonant interactions, known as the ``induced diffusion'' triads, which conserve the ratio between the wave frequency and vertical wave number. Our analysis remarkably shows that the internal wave turbulence cascade is associated to an apparent constant flux of wave action.

Schema

description: The CMIP Data Request schema defines the database structure and for the CMIP Data
 Request.
 The aim of the upgrade to the data request schema is to provide continuity but also resolve
 some issues in the current schema. The Data Request 1.0 schema (currently updated to
 1.00.33) was released in a bundle with supporting python libraries and embedded scientific
 content. A primary high-level objective of the 2.0 schema is to bring into effect a clean
 separation between the different components.
 A second high level objective will be to provide greater clarity in the interactions between the
 Data Request and other stakeholders. The stakeholder group includes the MIP co-chairs who
 are trying to translate their scientific requirements into the DR and the peer group of
 infrastructure providers who are developing related services which need to interact seamlessly
 with the DR and have consistent content.
 Finally, there is a need to make it easier for groups to review the content of the request. The
 inclusion of features which, when linked together, create complexity which forms a barrier to
 reviews of the content should be avoided.

description: We design and test a low-loss interface between superconducting 3-dimensional microwave cavities and 2-dimensional circuits, where the coupling rate is highly tunable. This interface seamlessly integrates a loop antenna and a Josephson junction-based coupling element. We demonstrate that the loss added by connecting this interface to the cavity is 1.28 kHz, corresponding to an inverse quality factor of $1/(4.5 \times 10^6)$. Furthermore, we show that the cavity's external coupling rate to a 50 $Ω$ transmission line can be tuned from negligibly small to over 3 orders of magnitude larger than its internal loss rate in a characteristic time of 3.2 ns. This switching speed does not impose additional limits on the coupling rate because it is much faster than the coupling rate. Moreover, the coupler can be controlled by low frequency signals to avoid interference with microwave signals near the cavity or qubit frequencies. Finally, the coupling element introduces a 0.04 Hz/photon self-Kerr nonlinearity to the cavity, remaining linear in high photon number operations.
A study of the junior secondary science curriculum in Bangladesh and its relationship with real life situation

description: This research explores the scope of relationship of the junior secondary science curriculum to real-life. Since teachers in Bangladesh follow textbooks as a de-facto curriculum to teach science, therefore to understand the relevance of the curriculum to the students' lives, this study also explored corresponding textbook content and teachers' perspectives of implementing the curriculum. Findings indicate that a lack of consistency of curriculum emphases between specific objectives and learning outcomes of the curriculum and textbook content for all grades. Poor representation of real-life aspects were identified both in the curriculum and textbooks. Teachers' teaching practices revealed content dominating teaching with poor connections to real-life examples. The study concludes that further revision is required to the published curriculum and textbooks in Bangladesh to accommodate real-life aspects of science in it. Findings will certainly contribute positively and significantly towards it.

description: Carcasses of common pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) killed by hunters using shotguns are widely used or sold in the United Kingdom and elsewhere for human consumption. Almost all of the birds are shot using shotgun pellets composed principally of lead (Pb). Lead shotgun pellets often fragment on impact within the bodies of gamebirds, leaving small lead particles in the meat that are difficult for consumers to detect and remove and from which a greater proportion of lead is likely to be absorbed. Chronic exposure to even low levels of lead is associated with negative health effects in humans and especially in groups particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead, which include young children and pregnant women. Our study used a high-resolution computerised tomography X-ray scanner to locate, in three dimensions, metal fragments embedded within carcasses of eight pheasants sold for human consumption in the UK. Small radio-dense fragments (<2 mm diameter), assumed to be metallic lead, were present in all of the pheasant carcasses examined (mean number: 39 per carcass) and many were too small (<0.1 mm diameter) and too distant from the nearest large shotgun pellet for it to be practical for consumers to detect and remove them without discarding a large proportion of otherwise usable meat. Consumers of carcasses of pheasants killed using lead shotgun ammunition are likely to be exposed to elevated levels of dietary lead, even if careful food preparation is practiced to remove shotgun pellets and the most damaged tissue.

description: Direct detection of exoplanets around nearby stars requires advanced Adaptive Optics (AO) systems. High order systems are needed to reach high Strehl Ratio (SR) in near infrared and optical wavelengths on future Giant Segmented Mirror Telescopes (GSMTs). Direct detection of faint exoplanets with the ESO ELT will require some tens of thousand of correction modes. Resolution and sensitivity of the wavefront sensor (WFS) are key requirements for this science case. We present a new class of WFSs, the Bi-Orthogonal Foucault-knife-edge Sensors (or Bi-O-edge), that is directly inspired by the Foucault knife edge test (Foucault 1859). The idea consists of using a beam-splitter producing two foci, each of which is sensed by an edge with orthogonal direction to the other. We describe two implementation concepts: The Bi-O-edge sensor can be realised with a sharp edge and a tip-tilt modulation device (sharp Bi-O-edge) or with a smooth gradual transmission over a grey edge (grey Bi-O-edge). A comparison between the Bi-O-edge concepts and the 4-sided classical Pyramid Wavefront Sensor (PWS) gives some important insights into the nature of the measurements.Our analysis shows that the sensitivity gain of the Bi-O edge with respect to the PWS depends on the system configuration. The gain is a function of the number of control modes and the modulation angle. We found that for the sharp Bi-O-edge, the gain in reduction of propagated photon noise variance approaches a theoretical factor of 2 for a large number of control modes and small modulation angle, meaning that the sharp Bi-O-edge only needs half of the photons of the PWS to reach similar measurement accuracy.

description: Hundreds of high-velocity atomic gas clouds exist above and below the Galactic Centre, with some containing a molecular component. However, the origin of these clouds in the Milky Way's wind is unclear. This paper presents new high-resolution MeerKAT observations of three atomic gas clouds and studies the relationship between the atomic and molecular phases at $\sim 1$ pc scales. The clouds' atomic hydrogen column densities, $N_{\mathrm{HI}}$, are less than a $\mbox{few}\times 10^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$, but the two clouds closest to the Galactic Centre nonetheless have detectable CO emission. This implies the presence of H$_{2}$ at levels of $N_{\mathrm{HI}}$ at least a factor of ten lower than in the typical Galactic interstellar medium. For the cloud closest to the Galactic Centre, there is little correlation between the $N_{\mathrm{HI}}$ and the probability that it will harbour detectable CO emissions. In contrast, for the intermediate cloud, detectable CO is heavily biased toward the highest values of $N_{\mathrm{HI}}$. The cloud most distant from the Galactic Centre has no detectable CO at similar $N_{\mathrm{HI}}$ values. Moreover, we find that the two clouds with detectable CO are too molecule-rich to be in chemical equilibrium, given the depths of their atomic shielding layers, which suggests a scenario whereby these clouds consist of pre-existing molecular gas from the disc that the Galactic wind has swept up, and that is dissociating into atomic hydrogen as it flows away from the Galaxy. We estimate that entrained molecular material of this type has a $\sim \mathrm{few}-10$ Myr lifetime before photodissociating.

description: In Australia many children have been found to have lower than expected oral language skills. Children experiencing such difficulties are more likely to have problems with reading, writing and classroom behaviour. To address this, this study implemented a site-based professional learning program aimed at improving teaching in a key area of oral language - narrative discourse. Findings revealed that by taking part in in active, reflective learning directly related to their own practices teachers improved and extended their teaching of narrative discourse. This research demonstrates the value of collaborative professional learning programs particularly for teachers working in preschool settings.

description: The magnetic structure is crucial in determining the physical properties inherent in magnetic compounds. We present an adequate descriptor for magnetic structure with proper magnetic symmetry and high discrimination performance, which does not depend on artificial choices for coordinate origin, axis, and magnetic unit cell in crystal. We extend the formalism called ``smooth overlap of atomic positions'' (SOAP), providing a numerical representation of atomic configurations to that of magnetic moment configurations. We introduce the descriptor in terms of the vector spherical harmonics to describe a magnetic moment configuration and partial spectra from the expansion coefficients. We discuss that the lowest-order partial spectrum is insufficient to discriminate the magnetic structures with different magnetic anisotropy, and a higher-order partial spectrum is required in general to differentiate detailed magnetic structures on the same atomic configuration. We then introduce the fourth-order partial spectrum and evaluate the discrimination performance for different magnetic structures, mainly focusing on the difference in magnetic symmetry. The modified partial spectra that are defined not to reflect the difference of magnetic anisotropy are also useful in evaluating magnetic structures obtained from the first-principles calculations performed without spin-orbit coupling. We apply the present method to the symmetry-classified magnetic structures for the crystals of Mn$_3$Ir and Mn$_3$Sn, which are known to exhibit anomalous transport under the antiferromagnetic order, and examine the discrimination performance of the descriptor for different magnetic structures on the same crystal.

description: Geometric entanglement(GE), as a measure of multipartite entanglement, has been investigated as a universal tool to detect phase transitions in quantum many-body lattice models. We outline a systematic method to compute GE for two-dimensional (2D) quantum many-body lattice models based on the translational invariant structure of infinite projected entangled pair state (iPEPS) representations. By employing this method, the $q$-state quantum Potts model on the square lattice with $q \in \{2, 3 ,4, 5\}$ is investigated as a prototypical example. Further, we have explored three 2D Heisenberg models, such as the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ XXX and antiferromagnetic anisotropic XYX models in an external magnetic field, and the spin-1 antiferromagnetic XXZ model. We find that continuous GE does not guarantee a continuous phase transition across a phase transition point. We observe and thus classify three different types of continuous GE across a phase transition point: (i) GE is continuous with maximum value at the transition point and the phase transition is continuous, (ii) GE is continuous with maximum value at the transition point but the phase transition is discontinuous, and (iii) GE is continuous with non-maximum value at the transition point and the phase transition is continuous. For the models under consideration we find that the second and the third types are related to a point of dual symmetry and a fully polarized phase, respectively.

description: The atmospheric composition of planets is determined by the chemistry of the disks in which they form. Studying the gas-phase molecular composition of disks thus allows us to infer what the atmospheric composition of forming planets might be. Recent observations of the IRS 48 disk have shown that (asymmetric) dust traps can directly impact the observable chemistry, through radial and vertical transport, and the sublimation of ices. The asymmetric HD 142527 disk provides another good opportunity to investigate the role of dust traps in setting the disk's chemical composition. In this work, we use archival ALMA observations of the HD 142527 disk to obtain an as large as possible molecular inventory, which allows us to investigate the possible influence of the asymmetric dust trap on the disk's chemistry. We present the first ALMA detections of [C I], 13C18O, DCO+, H2CO and additional transition of HCO+ and CS in this disk. In addition, we have acquired upper limits for non-detected species such as SO and CH3OH. For the majority of the observed molecules, a decrement in the emission at the location of the dust trap is found. For the main CO isotopologues continuum over-subtraction likely causes the observed asymmetry, while for CS and HCN we propose that the observed asymmetries are likely due to shadows cast by the misaligned inner disk. As the emission of the observed molecules is not co-spatial with the dust trap and no SO or CH3OH are found, thermal sublimation of icy mantles does not appear to play a major role in changing the gas-phase composition of the outer disk in HD 142527 disk. Using our observations of 13C18O and DCO+ and a RADMC-3D model, we determine the CO snowline to be located beyond the dust traps, favouring cold gas-phase formation of H2CO, rather than the hydrogenation of CO-ice and subsequent sublimation.

description: This study examines the nature of expressions of value in education. It uses monetary theory to argue that representations like qualifications have the same three functions as money. These functions are as a measure of value, a store of value and a medium of exchange. To explore these issues in a real-life situation, this study uses foreign qualification recognition (FQR) in Australia’s skilled migration program, which is a process used to determine who can migrate to Australia. The study finds that rather than assessing skill, the process recognises the credit relations associated with certain educational experiences.

description: We propose a single-shot quantitative differential phase contrast (DPC) method with polarization multiplexing illumination. In the illumination module of our system, the programmable LED array is divided into four quadrants and covered with polarizing films of four different polarization angles. We use a polarization camera with polarizers before the pixels in the imaging module. By matching the polarization angle between the polarizing films over the custom LED array and the polarizers in the camera, two sets of asymmetric illumination acquisition images can be calculated from a single-shot acquisition image. Combined with the phase transfer function, we can calculate the quantitative phase of the sample. We present the design, implementation, and experimental image data demonstrating the ability of our method to obtain quantitative phase images of the phase resolution target, as well as Hela cells.

description: Electromagnetic scattering in moving structures is a fundamental topic in physics and engineering. Yet, no general numerical solution to related problems has been reported to date. We introduce here a generalized FDTD scheme to remedy this deficiency. That scheme is an extension of the FDTD standard Yee cell and stencil that includes not only the usual, physical fields, but also auxiliary, unphysical fields allowing a straightforward application of moving boundary conditions. The proposed scheme is illustrated by four examples -- a moving interface, a moving slab, a moving crystal and a moving gradient -- with systematic validation against exact solutions.

строго хаотические и хаотические-стохастические, из которых хаотические-стохастические оказались
в большинстве, что свойственно реальным системам. Для каждой группы предложен алгоритм прогнозирования в соответствии со структурой ряда, например, для хаотических рядов – алгоритмы нелинейной
динамики, а для сильно стохастических рядов – модели, основанные на случайных процессах.

of the Russian Federation using two methods of time series grouping according to the chaotic, stochastic, and
regular structure. The first model is based on the entropy‒complexity plane, the second one is presented by the
attribute‒object graph. As a result, four groups of time series were derived: regular, regular-chaotic, purely
chaotic, and chaotic-stochastic. Most of the series turned out to be chaotic-stochastic, which is common for real systems. Each group of time series is assigned with a suitable prediction algorithm. For example, algorithms of nonlinear dynamics can be used for chaotic series, and models based on stochastic processes can be
used for strongly stochastic series.

A few quantum dots are formed in the case with the gate length of 0.05~$μ$m and we evaluate the dot parameters and the disordered potential. We also investigate the effects of a thermal cycle and illumination of light, and reveal the change of the disordered potential.

description: In explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) research, the predominant focus has been on interpreting models for experts and practitioners. Model agnostic and local explanation approaches are deemed interpretable and sufficient in many applications. However, in domains like healthcare, where end users are patients without AI or domain expertise, there is an urgent need for model explanations that are more comprehensible and instil trust in the model's operations. We hypothesise that generating model explanations that are narrative, patient-specific and global(holistic of the model) would enable better understandability and enable decision-making. We test this using a decision tree model to generate both local and global explanations for patients identified as having a high risk of coronary heart disease. These explanations are presented to non-expert users. We find a strong individual preference for a specific type of explanation. The majority of participants prefer global explanations, while a smaller group prefers local explanations. A task based evaluation of mental models of these participants provide valuable feedback to enhance narrative global explanations. This, in turn, guides the design of health informatics systems that are both trustworthy and actionable.

description: This qualitative reflexive study investigated the teaching of ‘English as an International Language’ (EIL) as a short-term alternative program in a university in postcolonial Pakistan. The analysis reveals persisting colonial attitudes to English language education in Pakistan, with negative implications for educational access and equity across the country. The study calls for a re-examination of the ways in which English language is conceptualised and taught in Pakistan. In particular, it advocates for the design and implementation of alternative English language approaches such as EIL that emphasise dialogue, creativity, and critical reflection to extend and stimulate students’ thinking, confidence, and autonomy.

description: We study the deflection and gravitational lensing (GL) of both timelike and null signals in the equatorial plane of arbitrary stationary and axisymmetric spacetimes in the strong deflection limit. Our approach employs a perturbative method to show that both the deflection angle and the total travel time take quasi-series forms $\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}\left[ C_n\ln (1-b_c/b)+D_n\right] (1-b_c/b)^n$, with the coefficients $C_n$ and $D_n$ incorporating the signal velocity and finite distance effect of the source and detector. This new deflection angle allows us to establish an accurate GL equation from which the apparent angles of the relativistic images and their time delays are found. These results are applied to the Kerr and the rotating Kalb-Ramond (KR) spacetimes to investigate the effect of the spacetime spin in both spacetimes, and the effective charge parameter and a transition parameter in the rotating KR spacetime on various observables. Moreover, using our approach, the effect of the signal velocity and the source angular position on these variables is also studied.

description: Dual degree programs between Malaysian with British universities are growing apace in Malaysia. Are they ‘national’, ‘international’ or something new? This study investigates the making of cross-border dual degrees and their effects on Malaysia’s higher education. Focusing on how curriculum writers navigate the social, cultural and political contexts framing Malaysia’s higher education, multiple ‘opposites’ and conflicts are revealed. With curriculum writers’ work and connections going beyond national borders, findings indicate an emergent ‘transnationalism’. Malaysia’s higher education is neither strictly national nor international. Instead, transnationalism highlights the 'hybrid' complexities of local contexts entangling with global higher education shifts.

description: In this present paper we will show you some interesting identity involving com?binatorial symbols and a proof of it as a theorem. The theorem was a discovery from the times when we were studying Calculus in the course ”Mathematics 2” at USAC/CUNOC University in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala around the year 2003. The identity arose from some equations involving polynomials and the binomial theorem of Newton.

Evidence for a black hole spin--orbit misalignment in the X-ray binary Cyg X-1

description: Recently, the accretion geometry of the black-hole X-ray binary Cyg X-1 was probed with the X-ray polarization. The position angle of the X-ray emitting flow was found to be aligned with the position angle of the radio jet in the plane of the sky. At the same time, the observed high polarization degree could be obtained only for a high inclination of the X-ray emitting flow, indicating a misalignment between the binary axis and the black hole spin. The jet, in turn, is believed to be directed by the spin axis, hence similar misalignment is expected between the jet and binary axes. We test this hypothesis using very long (up to about 26 years) multi-band radio observations. We find the misalignment of $20^\circ$--$30^\circ$. However, on the contrary to the earlier expectations, the jet and binary viewing angles are found to be similar, while the misalignment is seen between position angles of the jet and the binary axis on the plane of the sky. Furthermore, the presence of the misalignment questions our understanding of the evolution of this binary system.

Intermediate luminosity optical transients during the grazing envelope evolution (GEE)

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By comparing photon diffusion time with gas outflow time, I argue that a large fraction of the energy carried by the jets during the grazing envelope evolution (GEE) might end in radiation, hence leading to an intermediate luminosity optical transient (ILOT). In the GEE a companion orbiting near the outskirts of the larger primary star accretes mass through an accretion disk, and launches jets that efficiently remove the envelope gas from the vicinity of the secondary star. In cases of high mass accretion rates onto the stellar companion the energy carried by the jets surpass the recombination energy from the ejected mass, and when the primary star is a giant this energy surpasses also the gravitational binding energy of the binary system. Some future ILOTs of giant stars might be better explained by the GEE than by merger and common envelope evolution without jets.

Early adolescents engaging (or not) in activities to create an e-learning module on fractions: An exploratory case study
Creators: name: MELINDA ELIZABETH EVANS
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Education

description: In this case study, learning activity engagement was explored while Year 8 students engaged (or not) in co-creating an e-learning module on fractions. Students avoided roles involving peer judgement. Findings show five apparent sources of student boredom: (a) situational; (b) content-value related (e.g., perceived too easy); (c) pedagogical (too passive); (d) social (over-reporting some boredom); and (e) within-individual (boredom proneness). Many students stated most engagement when creating animations and ‘working’ (their definition unclear). Students appeared engaged when investigating fractions and gradients using a variably sloped runnel and marble. Plausible links between three major theories (SDT, EVT and CVTAE) were depicted.

description: Lattice QCD calculations of leptonic decay constants have now reached sub-percent precision so that isospin-breaking corrections, including QED effects, must be included to fully exploit this precision in determining fundamental quantities, in particular the elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, from experimental measurements. A number of collaborations have performed, or are performing, such computations. In this paper we develop a new theoretical framework, based on Infinite-Volume Reconstruction (IVR), for the computation of electromagnetic corrections to leptonic decay widths. In this method, the hadronic correlation functions are first processed theoretically in infinite volume, in such a way that the required matrix elements can be determined non-perturbatively from lattice QCD computations with finite-volume uncertainties which are exponentially small in the volume. The cancellation of infrared divergences in this framework is performed fully analytically. We also outline how this IVR treatment can be extended to determine the QED effects in semi-leptonic kaon decays with a similar degree of accuracy.
Detached and Continuous Circumstellar Matter in Type Ibc Supernovae from Mass Eruption

description: Some hydrogen-poor supernovae (SNe) are found to undergo interaction with dense circumstellar matter (CSM) that may originate from mass eruption(s) just prior to core-collapse. We model the interaction between the remaining star and the bound part of the erupted CSM that eventually fall back to the star. We find that while fallback initially results in a continuous CSM down to the star, feedback processes from the star can push the CSM to large radii of $\gtrsim 10^{15}$ cm from several years after the eruption. In the latter case, a tenuous bubble surrounded by a dense and detached CSM extending to $\gtrsim 10^{16}$ cm is expected. Our model offers a natural unifying explanation for the diverse CSM structures seen in hydrogen-poor SNe, such as Type Ibn/Icn SNe that show CSM signatures soon after explosion, and the recently discovered Type Ic SNe 2021ocs and 2022xxf ("the Bactrian") with CSM signatures seen only at late times.

description: Immersive technologies, including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), are envisioned to become ubiquitous in future work environments. The implementation of both technologies is associated with versatile benefits, such as decreased costs, reduced physical risks, increased employee self-satisfaction, and lower resource consumption. Despite these potential benefits, the organizational diffusion of immersive technologies faces myriad challenges. For instance, usability problems along with privacy concerns have introduced technology acceptance issues. Addressing these challenges, this cumulative dissertation explores the design, application, and implications of AR and VR systems in the workplace by employing a mixed-methods approach. The contribution of this research is threefold. First, this dissertation provides descriptive insights into user preferences for immersive technologies to inform user-centered design considerations. Second, this dissertation presents design principles to guide the development of four information technology artifacts. Two of these artifacts enable VR-based collaboration in the fields of design thinking and process modeling, while the remaining two artifacts leverage AR to facilitate the crowdsourcing of human intelligence tasks and to support students in distance learning settings. Third, this dissertation develops an e³-value model for the AR and VR business ecosystem to illustrate how technology providers can transform such artifacts into economic value. Taken together, these insights improve understanding the sociotechnical interplay between humans, tasks, and immersive technologies, as well as its economic implications.

description: Feature representation and metric learning are two critical components in person re-identification models. In this paper, we focus on the feature representation and claim that hand-crafted histogram features can be complementary to Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) features. We propose a novel feature extraction model called Feature Fusion Net (FFN) for pedestrian image representation. In FFN, back propagation makes CNN features constrained by the handcrafted features. Utilizing color histogram features (RGB, HSV, YCbCr, Lab and YIQ) and texture features (multi-scale and multi-orientation Gabor features), we get a new deep feature representation that is more discriminative and compact. Experiments on three challenging datasets (VIPeR, CUHK01, PRID450s) validates the effectiveness of our proposal.
