Students' understanding of historical significance - a Singapore case study
Creators: name: Foo, Delia Wen Xian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Although the disciplinary approach to teaching history has been around since the 1980s, it is still relatively new in Singapore. Attempts to incorporate parts of it in the history syllabuses implemented in 2000 and 2007 were met with limited success. Yet, the desire to move away from didactic methods to more disciplinary and inquiry-based methods remained strong. This study argues that the disciplinary approach to teaching history is integral for helping students manage the complexities of contemporary life. It focuses on one of the concepts within in this approach – significance. I argue that by investigating the sort of ideas students harbor regarding significance, history educators in Singapore would be better positioned to design curriculum and pedagogical experiences that can overcome the obstacles encountered in teaching history. I achieve these objectives by embarking on a small-scale quantitative study with 50 students from 3 schools that reflect students from different ends of the ability spectrum. Data were gathered through student participation in a survey questionnaire and a small group interview that were designed to answer the following research questions: “What criteria do students use when they ascribe significance to phenomena in history?” “Do they see significance as fixed or variable?” Student responses were analyzed using Lis Cercadillo’s (2000) typology for significance as a coding paradigm within a grounded theory approach. The findings suggest that most participants did not have problems employing different criteria to ascribe significance to events in the past; and that the majority of the students seemed to see significance as variable. However, students tended to justify their responses in a cursory manner, displaying their shallow understanding of significance. While this may not be surprising, the value of this study lies in its attempt to make explicit the extent of complexity in students’ ideas of significance in order to help history educators improve the way students are taught. In drawing connections between the findings and the issues it raises, I argue that the socio-political context plays a primary role in influencing students’ capacity to think historically; and I proceed to discuss the implications for history educators in Singapore.

Pseudolocalized Three-Dimensional Solitary Waves as Quasi-Particles

description: A higher-order dispersive equation is introduced as a candidate for the governing equation of a field theory. A new class of solutions of the three-dimensional field equation are considered, which are not localized functions in the sense of the integrability of the square of the profile over an infinite domain. For this new class of solutions, the gradient and/or the Hessian/Laplacian are square integrable. In the linear limiting case, an analytical expression for the pseudolocalized solution is found and the method of variational approximation is applied to find the dynamics of the centers of the quasi-particles (QPs) corresponding to these solutions. A discrete Lagrangian can be derived due to the localization of the gradient and the Laplacian of the profile. The equations of motion of the QPs are derived from the discrete Lagrangian. The pseudomass ("wave mass") of a QP is defined as well as the potential of interaction. The most important trait of the new QPs is that at large distances, the force of attraction is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the QPs. This can be considered analogous to the gravitational force in classical mechanics.

description: It is stated that a class of $f(R)$ gravity models seem to obtain $Λ$CDM behaviour for high redshifts and general relativistic behaviour locally at high curvatures. In the present paper, we numerically study polytropic configurations that resemble stars like young sun with Hu and Sawicki $f(R)$ gravity field equations and compare the spacetime at the boundary to the general relativistic counterpart. These polytropes are stationary spherically symmetric configurations and have regular metrics at the origin. Since Birkhoff's theorem does not apply for modified gravity, the solution outside may deviate from Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. At the boundary, Post-Newtonian parametrization was used to determine how much the studied model deviates from the general relativistic $Λ$CDM model.

description: This paper shows that every Plactic algebra of finite rank admits a finite Gröbner--Shirshov basis. The result is proved by using the combinatorial properties of Young tableaux to construct a finite complete rewriting system for the corresponding Plactic monoid, which also yields the corollaries that Plactic monoids of finite rank have finite derivation type and satisfy the homological finiteness properties left and right $FP_\infty$. Also, answering a question of Zelmanov, we apply this rewriting system and other techniques to show that Plactic monoids of finite rank are biautomatic.

description: We consider Reeb flows on the tight $3$-sphere admitting a pair of closed orbits forming a Hopf link. If the rotation numbers associated to the transverse linearized dynamics at these orbits fail to satisfy a certain resonance condition then there exist infinitely many periodic trajectories distinguished by their linking numbers with the components of the link. This result admits a natural comparison to the Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem on area-preserving annulus homeomorphisms. An analogous theorem holds on $SO(3)$ and applies to geodesic flows of Finsler metrics on $S^2$.

Sintering studies of magnesia-chromite refractory composites
Creators: name: Zargar, Hamidreza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The magnesia-chromite refractory composites are the best candidates for the lining of non-ferrous metal smelting and refining furnaces, due to their high melting temperature, chemical inertness, and excellent thermal shock resistance. However, their high sintering temperatures (>1700°C) increase the processing complexity and costs. In this investigation, the primary goal was to study the sintering of these composites, with the long-term engineering goal to reduce their sintering temperature to <1500°C in air. The materials were synthesized via chemical methods using nitrates to assure chemical homogeneity. Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, and SnO₂ affected the kinetics of the MgCr₂O₄ formation and increased the density of MgCr₂O₄ in the order Fe₂O₃>Al₂O₃>SnO₂. The enhanced MgCr₂O₄ densification was attributed to the cation distribution in spinel structure (inversion phenomenon), caused by the inherent affinity of Fe⁺³ and Al⁺³ to tetrahedral sites. Fe₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ showed to form inverted spinel, while SnO₂ resulted in the formation of normal spinel solid solutions. Twelve magnesia-chromite composites were synthesized to study the effects of Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃ on their sintering conditions; Cr₂O₃ decreased the density, while Fe₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ enhanced the densification of composites. The microstructural studies revealed that Fe₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ reduced the dihedral angle between MgO and spinel, while Cr₂O₃ increased it. The increased densification by Fe₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ was attributed to the decreased dihedral angle and formation of inverted solid solutions. The optimized composition [MgO6.9Cr₂O₃6.9Al₂O₃2.7Fe₂O₃]mol% (MK) reached nearly full density in air at 1475°C for 70minutes; 1700°C is currently used for magnesia-chromite refractories. In order to study the effects of the particle size on densification, magnesia-chromite composites (NMK) with average particle size of ~20 nm were synthesized via Pechini's method. Reducing the particle size from 1.2 um for MK to 20 nm for NMK reduced the onset sintering temperature by 200°C to 1000°C. The densification results were evaluated using master sintering curve theory for the first time for this kind of composites. The sintering activation energy was 443.7 and 302.6 kJ/mol for MK and NMK respectively. It was hypothesized that the oxygen diffusion through lattice and grain boundaries was rate controlling mechanism for MK and NMK respectively.

 E. carlota Gauld, 1988: 185. Holotype ♀, Cuba (USNM).
 Gauld (1988) described the species based on a single female from Central Cuba. Revision of material housed in Cuban collections have shown that species is distributed across the all island, and from about the sea level up to over 1200 m.a.s.l. Males are quite similar to females in coloration. The series I was able to study showed some colour differences regarding Gauld original description, either in the interocellar area (brown instead of black) and the metasoma (rather orange­brown with tips dark in some specimens). On the other hand the species is rather uniform. An aditional character to separate this species of its close sister­species pair Enicospilus dajaboni Gauld (only known from Dominican Republic) is that males present sternites 5–9 bearing long semierect pubescence (7–9 in E. dajaboni).

 Enicospilus gallegosi Gauld, 1988: 285. Holotype ♂, Costa Rica (BMNH).
This is the second record of the species from the Caribbean islands (Gauld, 1988). Cuban specimen has a coloration slightly different to that described by Gauld, with interocellar area and tergites 5+ completely dark brown; but the other characteristics are quite similar, so I think it is conspecific. Because of variation in the colour of the interocellar area (yellow in most of specimens, sometimes slightly infuscated, to completely brown in Cuba specimen) allowances in the key are provided.
The combination of a large AI index (1.2­1.8) and an unsual hind trochanter length dorsally (0.4­0.6 times as long as broad) is enough to separate the species within Cuban material. In a larger context —Mesoamerica— Gauld (1988) provided aditional characters.

description: 28. E. howdenorum Gauld (Fig. 10u)
 Enicospilus howdenorum Gauld, 1988: 282. Holotype ♀, Jamaica (CNC).
A Caribbean species. It is noteworthy that all country specimens have been collected in the same sector of the Sierra Maestra mountains, and above 1000 m.a.s.l. Gauld (1988) studied one Cuban specimen and found it paler yellow in color than other specimens from Jamaica and Hispaniola. However, of five specimens I have been able to study in Cuban collections, some are paler and other not; suggesting this could be a color variation of species instead of a particularity of Cuban specimens.
 Some minor differences regarding the original description can be mentioned. The specimens housed in Cuba collections have the marginal cell rather sparsely hirsute; the first abscissa of Cu 1 not so bowed as described by Gauld (1988), sometimes even almost straight. The head and scutellum are yellow and the rest of the body is orange­brown; mesopleuron with variable yellow marks, mostly in the upper and lower part but not medially; metapleuron with yellow marks, sometimes entirely yellow; metasoma infuscate sometimes since 2nd tergite onwards, sometimes not infuscate at all. However, it clearly seems to me that all specimens I studied belong to this species.
 According to Gauld (1988) E. howdenorum and E. sondrae form a distinctive sister species pair characterized by having cu­a in the hind wing 0.4–0.5 times as long as a bowed first abscissa of Cu 1. For difference between these two species see below (E. sondrae) and Figs. 10u & 10n.

Relationship between microstructure, texture and ridging in ferritic stainless steels
Creators: name: Lefebvre, Guillaume
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The influence of cold rolling and final annealing on the development of ridging during tensile deformation of an industrial AISI 445 ferritic stainless steel has been investigated. The relationship between microstructure, (micro)-texture and ridging was evaluated by comparing full-field crystal plasticity calculations (VPFFT) to experimental measurements of surface roughness and microstructure. Results showed that the major parameter responsible for ridging is the through-thickness fraction of orientations with high out-of-plane shear strain rate. This was found to dictate the amplitude of the surface displacement and the spacing between corrugations observed on the sheet surface. To examine the origins of these regions, the process of annealing from the cold rolled state to the final product was next characterized by means of electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD), with a focus on the formation of regions with similar shearing behaviour as defined by the crystal plasticity calculations. The combined effect of preferential nucleation and growth advantage of {111}<112> orientations from deformed {111}<112> grains is able to explain the bulk texture change from the deformed to the recrystallized state. On a microscopic scale, these orientations (within +/- 15° of the ideal orientation) have low out-of-plane shearing intensity of both negative and positive sign. Their nucleation and growth during annealing leads to the replacement of large grains with high out-of-plane shearing intensity with finer grains having lower out-of-plane shearing tendency. As a consequence, both the intensity and the spatial distribution of orientations with various out-of-plane shearing tendency are modified, leading to a reduction of ridging. As the final processing stage of the steel sheet (cold rolling and final annealing) reduces the non-random distribution of grains having a particular out-of-plane shearing tendency (“clustering”) and because ridging is still present in the final product, it was concluded that ridging originates in the upstream process. A generalized description of the origins of ridging and the heredity of microstructure and texture from the slab to the final product is proposed based on simplified crystal plasticity calculations and microstructure observations of the casting and the transfer bar.

description: New supernova surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey, Pan-STARRS and the LSST will produce an unprecedented number of photometric supernova candidates, most with no spectroscopic data. Avoiding biases in cosmological parameters due to the resulting inevitable contamination from non-Ia supernovae can be achieved with the BEAMS formalism, allowing for fully photometric supernova cosmology studies. Here we extend BEAMS to deal with the case in which the supernovae are correlated by systematic uncertainties. The analytical form of the full BEAMS posterior requires evaluating 2^N terms, where N is the number of supernova candidates. This `exponential catastrophe' is computationally unfeasible even for N of order 100. We circumvent the exponential catastrophe by marginalising numerically instead of analytically over the possible supernova types: we augment the cosmological parameters with nuisance parameters describing the covariance matrix and the types of all the supernovae, τ_i, that we include in our MCMC analysis. We show that this method deals well even with large, unknown systematic uncertainties without a major increase in computational time, whereas ignoring the correlations can lead to significant biases and incorrect credible contours. We then compare the numerical marginalisation technique with a perturbative expansion of the posterior based on the insight that future surveys will have exquisite light curves and hence the probability that a given candidate is a Type Ia will be close to unity or zero, for most objects. Although this perturbative approach changes computation of the posterior from a 2^N problem into an N^2 or N^3 one, we show that it leads to biases in general through a small number of misclassifications, implying that numerical marginalisation is superior.

description: Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field of residue characteristic p, let D be a finite dimensional central division F-algebra and let R be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. We classify all smooth irreducible representations of GL(m,D) with coefficients in R, in terms of multisegments, generalizing works by Zelevinski, Tadic and Vignéras. We prove that any irreducible R-representation of GL(m,D) has a unique supercuspidal support, and thus get two classifications: one by supercuspidal multisegments, classifying representations with a given supercuspidal support, and one by aperiodic multisegments, classifying representations with a given cuspidal support. These constructions are made in a purely local way, with a substantial use of type theory.

description: We study local correlations of certain interacting particle systems on the real line which show repulsion similar to eigenvalues of random Hermitian matrices. Although the new particle system does not seem to have a natural spectral or determinantal representation, the local correlations in the bulk coincide in the limit of infinitely many particles with those known from random Hermitian matrices; in particular they can be expressed as determinants of the so-called sine kernel. These results may provide an explanation for the appearance of sine kernel correlation statistics in a number of situations which do not have an obvious interpretation in terms of random matrices.

 Enicospilus liesneri Gauld, 1988: 276. Holotype ♀, Costa Rica (BMNH).
The shape of the head in dorsal view (extremely short centrally, and abruptly declivous behind the ocelli) is the most striking character to separate the species. No other Cuban species has this characteristic, although other Centro and South American species does (Gauld, 1988). According to Gauld, this species range from Mexico to South America (Brazil), and Cuba is the only Caribbean island record. The fact that within the country there are only records from western and central Cuba, but not from the eastermost part, suggests that probably the species arrived to Cuba from the mainland via Yucatan peninsula.

description: We show that the laws of scaling limits of nearcritical percolation exploration paths with different parameters are singular with respect to each other. This generalises a result of Nolin and Werner, using a similar technique. As a corollary, the singularity can even be detected from an infinitesimal initial segment. Moreover, nearcritical scaling limits of exploration paths are mutually singular under scaling maps.

Making strengths-based practice work in child protection : frontline perspectives
Creators: name: Oliver, Carolyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Strengths-based practice has been widely promoted as a preferred approach for statutory child protection work, but its complexity and inconsistent implementation suggest that it may be hard to do. This pragmatic mixed methods study asked frontline workers whether and how they applied strengths-based and solution-focussed ideas in their daily child protection practice and what supported and impeded their efforts. Via 26 semi-structured interviews and an online survey, 225 child protection workers from the Ministry of Family Development in British Columbia, Canada, gave their views. The study found nearly all workers to be positive about strengths-based practice but 70% had implicit rules about the clients and situations for which strengths-based solution-focussed work was not appropriate or possible. Five definitions of strengths-based practice were identified from their descriptions of the approach, each linked to particular challenges and supports. The most applicable definition, 'Enacting firm, fair and friendly practice', illustrates a way for practitioners to navigate the strengths-based child protection relationship while managing the risk and authority inherent to their role. It involves maintaining a shifting balance between inviting maximum client collaboration and using authority purposefully and suggests the importance of judging impartially, being transparent, attending to the worker-client interaction and seeing clients as fellow human beings. It may support workers to navigate a developmental progression from occasionally doing strengths-based practice to identifying as strengths-based practitioners. The study highlights the importance of developing organisational capacity to provide the time, resources and culture necessary for strengths-based practice. It suggests that 'fearlessness', emotional self-regulation and comfort with mandated authority support strengths-based practice and recommends greater emphasis be placed on these qualities in child welfare education. Other recommendations include adopting a system-wide child protection-applicable definition of strengths-based practice like 'Enacting firm, fair and friendly practice', implementing 'strengths-based management' and providing ongoing opportunities for practitioner reflection and education.

description: Variable selection is recognized as one of the most critical steps in statistical modeling. The problems encountered in engineering and social sciences are commonly characterized by over-abundance of explanatory variables, non-linearities and unknown interdependencies between the regressors. An added difficulty is that the analysts may have little or no prior knowledge on the relative importance of the variables. To provide a robust method for model selection, this paper introduces the Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm for Variable Selection (MOGA-VS) that provides the user with an optimal set of regression models for a given data-set. The algorithm considers the regression problem as a two objective task, and explores the Pareto-optimal (best subset) models by preferring those models over the other which have less number of regression coefficients and better goodness of fit. The model exploration can be performed based on in-sample or generalization error minimization. The model selection is proposed to be performed in two steps. First, we generate the frontier of Pareto-optimal regression models by eliminating the dominated models without any user intervention. Second, a decision making process is executed which allows the user to choose the most preferred model using visualisations and simple metrics. The method has been evaluated on a recently published real dataset on Communities and Crime within United States.

description: Cyber diplomacy is critical in dealing with the digital era's evolving cybersecurity dangers and possibilities. This article investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchains, and Quantum Computing on cyber diplomacy. AI holds the potential for proactive threat identification and response, while IoT enables international information sharing. Blockchains enable secure data sharing and document verification, but they also pose new threats, such as AI-driven cyber-attacks, IoT privacy breaches, blockchain vulnerabilities, and the potential for quantum computing to break encryption. This article conducts case study reviews in combination with secondary data analysis and emphasises the value of international cooperation in developing global norms and frameworks to control responsible technology adoption. Cyber diplomacy can promote cybersecurity, protect national interests, and foster mutual trust among nations in the digital sphere by capitalising on possibilities and reducing threats.

description: Fetal ECG (FECG) telemonitoring is an important branch in telemedicine. The design of a telemonitoring system via a wireless body-area network with low energy consumption for ambulatory use is highly desirable. As an emerging technique, compressed sensing (CS) shows great promise in compressing/reconstructing data with low energy consumption. However, due to some specific characteristics of raw FECG recordings such as non-sparsity and strong noise contamination, current CS algorithms generally fail in this application. This work proposes to use the block sparse Bayesian learning (BSBL) framework to compress/reconstruct non-sparse raw FECG recordings. Experimental results show that the framework can reconstruct the raw recordings with high quality. Especially, the reconstruction does not destroy the interdependence relation among the multichannel recordings. This ensures that the independent component analysis decomposition of the reconstructed recordings has high fidelity. Furthermore, the framework allows the use of a sparse binary sensing matrix with much fewer nonzero entries to compress recordings. Particularly, each column of the matrix can contain only two nonzero entries. This shows the framework, compared to other algorithms such as current CS algorithms and wavelet algorithms, can greatly reduce code execution in CPU in the data compression stage.

description: In this paper we prove the universality of covariance matrices of the form $H_{N\times N}={X}^{\dagger}X$ where $X$ is an ${M\times N}$ rectangular matrix with independent real valued entries $x_{ij}$ satisfying $\mathbb{E}x_{ij}=0$ and $\mathbb{E}x^2_{ij}={\frac{1}{M}}$, $N$, $M\to \infty$. Furthermore it is assumed that these entries have sub-exponential tails or sufficiently high number of moments. We will study the asymptotics in the regime $N/M=d_N\in(0,\infty),\lim_{N\to\infty}d_N\neq0,\infty$. Our main result is the edge universality of the sample covariance matrix at both edges of the spectrum. In the case $\lim_{N\to\infty}d_N=1$, we only focus on the largest eigenvalue. Our proof is based on a novel version of the Green function comparison theorem for data matrices with dependent entries. En route to proving edge universality, we establish that the Stieltjes transform of the empirical eigenvalue distribution of $H$ is given by the Marcenko-Pastur law uniformly up to the edges of the spectrum with an error of order $(Nη)^{-1}$ where $η$ is the imaginary part of the spectral parameter in the Stieltjes transform. Combining these results with existing techniques we also show bulk universality of covariance matrices. All our results hold for both real and complex valued entries.
