description: In recent years, high-speed wireless communication is in vogue. In wireless communication systems, multipath fading, delay and interference occurres by reflection or diffraction. In a high-speed wireless communication, it becomes a necessary to separate desired signal from delay or interference signal. Thus to overcome these problems Smart antenna systems have been developed. Basically there are two types of smart antenna systems, one is Switched beam system and another Adaptive array system.This paper presents the optimum design of a 4x4 plannar Butler matrix array as a key component of a switched beam smart antenna system, operating at 5.2 GHz for WLAN with a dielectric substrate, FR4 of er =4.9 and h=1.6mm. Conception details, simulation results and measurements are also given for the components (microstrip antenna, hybrid couplers, cross-coupler, phase shifter) used to implement the matrix. In this dissertation, mathematical calculations for all the components using MATLAB is done and then every individual component is designed using the commercial software SONNET. Then these entire components have been combined on a single substrate and simulated using SONNET.

Catch-22 and the Paradox of Teaching in the Age of Accountability
Creators: name: Leahey, Christopher
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2013

description: Drawing upon Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, this paper explores the logic of standards-based education reform and the myriad ways in which accountability systems, performance standards, and market-based reform initiatives have degraded teaching and learning in public schools.  In this critical analysis of essential elements of the Bush administration’s No Child Left Behind Act and the Obama administration’s Race to the Top fund, the author explores three dominant themes woven throughout Heller’s work: (1) the reliance on symbolic indicators of progress, (2) the irrational nature and deadening effect of bureaucratic rules and procedures, and (3) the dangers of unchecked capitalism.  The author suggests that these reform efforts are not only counterproductive, but eroding the democratic foundations of our public school systems.  The author concludes that to maintain their autonomy and professionalism, teachers will have to find alternative ways of organizing and produce a counter narrative that not only exposes the failings of standards-based reform but also offers meaningful alternatives.

description: Modelling plays an important role for inquiry in science and mathematics education; therefore, a lot of research has been done in this field from both perspectives. However, an integrated view combining previous findings is rather limited. For the specific case of line graphs as a common representation that models relations between different variables in science, an integrated model of scientific-mathematical modelling was developed. The model integrates a scientific and mathematical perspective that describes line graphs as graphical representations of functional relationships. This model is used as a theoretical framework a) to describe cognitive processes that are necessary for modelling scientific phenomena with mathematical functions represented as line graphs and b) to analyse these processes empirically. In the presented study two modelling tasks were developed in which 10th grade students (N = 15) are asked to model biological phenomena graphically as line graphs. Modelling processes are recorded using a SmartPen and concurrent think aloud. Results show that participants’ modelling processes can be divided into sub-processes, related to the model of scientific-mathematical modelling. Furthermore, different individual modelling processes are reconstructed and graphically represented as graphical representations of individual modelling processes (GRIMPs). Based on a clustering process using GRIMPs, eight modelling styles are defined.

description: Our interactions with everyday objects inform our understanding of the world; yet today much of what we use is tossed immediately.  Items made in haste, used in haste, and made into waste belie the values that, for centuries, humans have taken for granted.  What do our consumption practices teach our students today?  I suggest that apathy, loss of agency, lack of integrity and disconnection is often a result of our incomplete understanding of what lasts and where things go when we’re finished with them.  Fortunately, the literature classroom, which can introduce students to texts such as “God’s Grandeur,” Grapes of Wrath, and Frankenstein, among others, offers educators an opportunity to challenge our throwaway society and reverence what lasts.

The second Kaluza-Klein neutral Higgs bosons in the minimal Universal Extra Dimension model

description: Loop-induced decay of a neutral Higgs boson into a pair of gluons or photons has great implications for the Higgs discovery at the LHC. If the Higgs boson is heavy with mass above $\sim 500\gev$, however, these radiative branching ratios are very suppressed in the standard model (SM), as the new decay channels are kinematically open. We note that these radiative decays can be sizable for the heavy CP-odd second Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode of the Higgs boson, $χ^\tw$, in the minimal universal extra dimension model: highly degenerate mass spectrum of the theory prohibits kinematically the dominant KK-number-conserving decays into the first KK modes of the $W$, $Z$ and top quark. We find that the CP-even decay of $h^{(2)} \to g g$ is absent at one-loop level since $h^{(2)}$ couples with different mass eigenstates of $t_{1,2}^\on$ while a gluon does with the same mass eigenstates. The $h^\tw$ production at the LHC is very suppressed. On the contrary, the process $ gg \to χ^\tw \to γγ$ in an optimal scenario can be observed with manageable SM backgrounds at the LHC.

description: Taking a multi-generational view, this study draws on oral-life histories and a qualitative, critical race analysis to explore thematic patterns over time and across the educational ideals and pedagogical practices of two African American educators from different generations of the same family---Olivia Smith (Big Mama) and her granddaughter Christie Hayes.  We examine how the personal and professional experiences of these two teachers influence[d] their respective understandings of their work and provide[d] the basis of successful teaching for African American learners.  By examining the lessons Big Mama taught and Christie learned and subsequently brought into her own classroom, it becomes possible to better understand how to more effectively prepare future teachers to draw on cultural and historical knowledge and thus successfully teach all students.

Water is a Right: A Critique of Curricular Materials and Learning Experiences in Schools Sponsored by the Transnational Water Utility Service Industry

Year: 2012

description: There is no longer an infinite supply of fresh water on the planet. In large part, the global water crisis is a result of large-scale, destructive, industrial "innovations." In just fifteen years, two-thirds of the people on the planet will feel the impact of the diminishment of safe drinking water. Given the global water crisis, the focus is this analysis is on the transnational water utility service industry as well as the larger shift from the notion of drinking water as a public right to a commodity to be privately owned and sold on the global marketplace. I discuss the very different ways these corporations are entering communities in the Southern compared to the Northern hemisphere, including attempts to re-brand their image after public failures. I then consider the particular strategies these conglomerates use to seep into cities and towns in the North. Emphasis is placed on how this sector of the water industry is becoming involved in schooling through sponsoring curricular materials and activities. I also provide initial analysis of the messages distributed in a sample of such materials and activities intended for K-12 students. While literature exists that explores curricular materials in schools provided by transnational corporations involved in direct control of natural resources, surprisingly, the privatization of the world's fresh water supply receives little attention in both education-based scholarship and media.

description: Atherosclerosis is a progressive inflammatory vascular disease characterized by endothelial dysfunction and plaque burden. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated plasma proteins play an important role in disease development. Our magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study investigates the feasibility of using two different molecular MRI probes for the simultaneous assessment of ECM-associated intraplaque albumin deposits caused by endothelial damage and progressive inflammation in atherosclerosis. Male apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-)-mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for 2 or 4 months. Another ApoE-/--group was treated with pravastatin and received a HFD for 4 months. T1- and T2*-weighted MRI was performed before and after albumin-specific MRI probe (gadofosveset) administration and a macrophage-specific contrast agent (ferumoxytol). Thereafter, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and histology were performed. With advancing atherosclerosis, albumin-based MRI signal enhancement and ferumoxytol-induced signal loss areas in T2*-weighted MRI increased. Significant correlations between contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR) post-gadofosveset and albumin stain (R2 = 0.78, p < 0.05), and signal loss areas in T2*-weighted MRI with Perls’ Prussian blue stain (R2 = 0.83, p < 0.05) were observed. No interference of ferumoxytol with gadofosveset enhancement was detectable. Pravastatin led to decreased inflammation and intraplaque albumin. Multi-target MRI combining ferumoxytol and gadofosveset is a promising method to improve diagnosis and treatment monitoring in atherosclerosis.

description: In the hidden order of URu2Si2 the resistivity at very low temperature shows no T^2 behavior above the transition to superconductivity. However, when entering the antiferromagnetic phase, the Fermi liquid behavior is recovered. We discuss the change of the inelastic term when entering the AF phase with pressure considering the temperature dependence of the Grueneisen parameter at ambient pressure and the influence of superconductivity by an extrapolation of high field data.

Educating Future Generations of Community Gardeners
Creators: name: Ralston, Shane Jesse
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2012

description: In this paper, I formulate a Deweyan argument for school gardening that prepares students for a specific type of gardening activism: community gardening, or the political activity of collectively organizing, planting and tending gardens for the purposes of food security, education and community development. Though not identical, a related type of gardening activism, guerrilla gardening, or the political activity of reclaiming unused urban land, sometimes illegally, for purposes of cultivation and beautification, is also implicated. Historically, community gardening in the U.S. has been associated with relief projects during periods of economic downturn and crisis, urban blight and gentrification, as well as nationalism, nativism and racism. Despite these last few unfortunate associations, the American philosopher John Dewey detached school gardening from the nativist’s tool-kit, portraying it as a gateway to more enriching adult experiences, not as a technique for assimilating immigrant children to a distinctly American way of life. One of those experiences that school gardening can prepare children for is environmental political activism, particularly involvement in gardening movements. Dewey did not mention this collateral benefit. Nevertheless, an argument can be made that garden advocacy—or, more specifically, participation in politically-motivated gardening movements—is an acceptable interpretation, or elaboration, of what Dewey meant by “a civic turn” to school gardening.

Por este motivo, los objetivos fundamentales de este trabajo fueron la caracterización de los perfiles fenólicos de una amplia colección de variedades de olivo, la evaluación de la influencia de la variedad (genotipo) en estos perfiles y la agrupación de las variedades según la composición fenólica. Para abordar estos objetivos se analizaron 80 variedades de olivo del Banco de Germoplasma Mundial de Olivo localizadas en el Campus de Rabanales de la Universidad de Córdoba (UCO) y se analizaron 9 compuestos fenólicos individuales. Como resultado principal se obtuvo una gran gama de variación en los compuestos fenólicos analizados. Notablemente, el efecto de la variedad fue el más determinante en la composición del perfil fenólico del AOV, respaldando la posibilidad de obtener variedades con perfiles fenólicos determinados a través de la mejora y la posibilidad para producir aceites con características predeterminadas mediante los procesos de cupaje. A pesar del carácter preliminar de este estudio, cuyos resultados necesitan ser confirmados en próximas campañas, constituye un primer paso necesario para conocer la dimensión de la variabilidad fenólica en el AOV así como para la selección de genitores idóneos para la obtención de nuevas variedades con perfiles fenólicos específicos.

description: The absorption sites and the low-lying rotational and vibrational (RV) energy states for H$_2$ adsorbed within a metal-organic framework are calculated via van der Waals density functional theory. The induced dipole due to bond stretching is found to be accurately given by a first-principles driven approximation using maximally-localized-Wannier-function analysis. The strengths and positions of lines in the complex spectra of RV transitions are in reasonable agreement with experiment, and in particular explain the experimentally mysteriously missing primary line for para hydrogen.
A Portrait of Black Leadership during Racial School Segregation

description: The purpose of this paper is to paint a portrait of an African American public school administrator, capturing the essence of his leadership style and educational philosophy during extremely challenging circumstances. This portrait reveals the many creative ways that this administrator handled discipline, secured resources, and ultimately impacted the lives of many students in his district. This research is important in light of the fact that schools across the nation are returning to segregation and an increase in Black superintendents is concomitant with this increase in predominately Black urban school districts. Much can be learned from examining this portrait as administrators find themselves presiding over districts with historically underserved children from low-income families.

description: This paper presents an overview of information-based asset pricing. In this approach, an asset is defined by its cash-flow structure. The market is assumed to have access to "partial" information about future cash flows. Each cash flow is determined by a collection of independent market factors called X-factors. The market filtration is generated by a set of information processes, each of which carries information about one of the X-factors, and eventually reveals the X-factor. Each information process has two terms, one of which contains a "signal" about the associated X-factor, and the other of which represents "market noise". The price of an asset is given by the expectation of the discounted cash flows in the risk-neutral measure, conditional on the information provided by the market. When the market noise is modelled by a Brownian bridge one is able to construct explicit formulae for asset prices, as well as semi-analytic expressions for the prices and greeks of options and derivatives. In particular, option price data can be used to determine the information flow-rate parameters implicit in the definitions of the information processes. One consequence of the modelling framework is a specific scheme of stochastic volatility and correlation processes. Instead of imposing a volatility and correlation model upon the dynamics of a set of assets, one is able to deduce the dynamics of the volatilities and correlations of the asset price movements from more primitive assumptions involving the associated cash flows. The paper concludes with an examination of situations involving asymmetric information. We present a simple model for informed traders and show how this can be used as a basis for so-called statistical arbitrage. Finally, we consider the problem of price formation in a heterogeneous market with multiple agents.

description: Questo lavoro di ricerca indaga la portata dell’influsso del genere sui risultati ottenuti grazie al test Mobak, strumento utilizzato per valutare le competenze motorie di base dei bambini, poiché può avere un’importante ricaduta sul lavoro di docente di educazione fisica. Sono stati sottoposti al test Mobak 1-2 73 allievi di prima elementare di Bellinzona (29 maschi e 44 femmine). I dati raccolti grazie al test e ai questionari sottoposti ai genitori hanno permesso di analizzare quattro aspetti: l’influsso del genere sui risultati ottenuti nella categoria “muoversi” e “muovere qualcosa”; la partecipazione orientata dal genere nei due tipi di sport (individuale o di squadra); l’effetto della frequenza d’allenamento; l’influsso del livello di sportività e del sostegno genitoriale. I maschi ottengono risultati migliori nella categoria “muovere qualcosa”. Essi sono coinvolti maggiormente in sport di squadra (54%), mentre quasi il 90% delle ragazze in sport individuali. Indipendentemente dal genere, i soggetti fanno con più frequenza allenamenti di sport individuali. Chi fa con una frequenza maggiore allenamenti di sport di squadra, ottiene risultati migliori nel “muovere qualcosa”. I genitori che dimostrano un sostegno più alto, si ritengono anche più sportivi. Inoltre, essi sostengono di più i figli che fanno sport individuali, indipendentemente dal loro genere. Da questa ricerca emerge la necessità di favorire la pratica sportiva per le ragazze, offrendo loro l’occasione di cimentarsi in attività fisiche variate e che comprendano la manipolazione di oggetti.

Probing the role of dopamine at the intersection of addiction, decision making, and sex
Creators: name: Hynes, Tristan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Addiction is an escalating, compulsive, and relapsing psychiatric disease that affects millions worldwide and exacts immense socioeconomic cost. As for potential pharmacotherapeutic targets, the dopamine system is of most interest, but it is unclear as to whether increasing or decreasing dopamine is the best approach. There is consensus that the cues associated with cocaine use and gambling (e.g., a crack pipe or flashing casino lights) are critical in driving disordered behaviour. It is also clear that the responsivity to drug and gambling cues is governed by dopamine and that there is considerable comorbidity between cocaine use and gambling disorder. Biological sex also plays a critical role in addiction but is confounded by the socioeconomic construct of gender in human studies, necessitating animal models. In the following thesis, we preclinically modeled the complex intersection of cocaine use and gambling-like behaviour by combining operant cocaine self-administration with the cued rat gambling task. While female and male rats gambled and took cocaine, we used chemogenetics to bidirectionally modulate the dopaminergic neurons projecting from the ventral tegmental area. We showed that chemogenetic inhibition of dopamine neurons decreased numerous addiction-like behaviours (e.g., risk-taking, impulsivity) in males, but surprisingly increased risk-taking in females. In both sexes, stimulation of the dopamine system had generally deleterious effects. Both inhibition and stimulation caused females and males to take more cocaine, but paradoxically prevented the increased risk-taking that results from cocaine self-administration. Drawing on the reward deficiency and incentive sensitization theories of addiction, this thesis furthermore proposes a biobehavioural framework through which the present findings may be understood.
‘Critical Thinking’ And State Mandated Testing:  The Collision Of State Rhetoric And Teacher Beliefs

description: Based on case studies of two school districts in New York State, the authors analyze the contradictory and hegemonic discourse of critical thinking proffered in State curriculum standards and as manifest in state mandated student assessments. Using Gramsci’s (1971) notion of hegemony, the analysis illustrates that dominant groups (such as state administrators or federal policy makers) gain and maintain dominance by projecting their own way of seeing the world so that those who are subordinated by it (such as teachers) accept it as ‘common sense’ and ‘natural.’ The ways in which this hegemonic relationship is created and sustained, and it’s consequences, are illustrated in the way teachers make sense of fundamentally contradictory rhetoric and lived practice.

Consumers or Critical Citizens? Financial Literacy Education and Freedom
Creators: name: Arthur, Chris
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2012

description: Given the recent and ongoing economic crisis and high levels of consumer debt, the teaching of financial literacy in elementary and secondary schools has received widespread support. Too often, however, financial literacy education policy documents promote the individualization of economic risk and privilege the autonomy of the consumer or consumer-citizen over that of the critical citizen. This article argues for the necessity of a critical financial literacy education aimed at supporting critical citizens by providing a Marxist critique of the dominant liberal and neoliberal notions of freedom and responsibility reproduced in financial literacy education policy documents. The choice highlighted here is not between financial illiteracy and financial literacy but between accommodating oneself to neoliberal capitalism’s needs so as to remain in perpetual competition with others or understanding and collectively altering an economic system that promotes alienation, insecurity and exploitation.

Embracing Change: Reflection on Practice in Immigrant Communities

Year: 2012

description: The authors address disconnects that developed within Sin frontera, a program originally designed as an educational program for Mexican and Honduran women. The program gradually moved away from its grassroots origins and culture circles as institutionalized practices gradually informed our curriculum, causing us to implement institutionalized concepts of education, whether through overt or invisible discourses (Foucault, 1980). Initially based on Freirean concepts of conscientization, collegiality, and consensual governance (Freire, 1970), the program gradually shifted to a hierarchical institutionalized model in which we as facilitators subsumed the principal decision-making function that had once been the women’s domain. Poststructuralist analysis of narrative evaluations, emails, and fieldnotes revealed that families living in immigrant communities face sociocultural issues that affect program expectations. Analysis also revealed the importance of constant dialogue with participants to minimize asymmetrical power dynamics. We offer this paper as a contribution to the ongoing conversation about adult educational experiences in immigrant communities.

title: Three Essays on Chinese and UK Defined Benefit Pension Schemes
Creators: name: Zhao, Zucheng
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: This thesis contributes to the quantitative and qualitative analysis of optimal assetliability portfolio allocations for the Chinese basic pension fund (BPF) pillar 1B, based on various investment constraints; investigations of the determinants of the equity asset allocations of UK defined benefit (DB) pension schemes and the reasons for a hard freeze decision by these DB schemes. The first contribution is the application of an asset-liability model (ALM) to compare the effects of various investment constraints on the efficient portfolio of the BPF. Using an ALM, we investigate the effects of different investment limits, pooling investment by the national social security fund (NSSF) and raising retirement age, on asset allocations. We find that an ALM is superior, and removing the limits on investment in domestic assets would be beneficial, as would transferring the assets to the NSSF and raising the retirement age. The second contribution is the first empirical analysis of the effects of non-linear default risk, leverage, cash flow volatility, company or sponsor size and pension scheme maturity on the asset allocation of DB schemes. We investigate the determinants of the equity allocation of UK pension funds using a panel of 125 FTSE 100 companies from 2003 to 2019. Seven variables have a significant effect on the equity allocation with the biggest effects coming from scheme maturity, the scheme’s funding ratio and a time trend. The third contribution is the first empirical analysis of the reasons for a hard freeze decision of UK DB schemes. Using an expanded panel from the last study, we find that five variables have a significant effect on the probability of making a hard freeze decision. The results suggest that a hard freeze may also have led to some movement in their post-freeze values of these variables back towards their pre-freeze values.
The limitations of bans when conserving species that are incidentally caught : a case study of India’s seahorses
Creators: name: Vaidyanathan, Tanvi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Bans on exploitation and trade are increasingly being used in wildlife conservation. However, their effects on small, incidentally caught marine fishes are rarely examined. For my thesis, I evaluate the impact of one such paired ban in India, across different spatial scales, on the conservation of seahorse species and on the fishers who depend on them. In my first two research chapters, I investigated the effects of India’s ban on seahorse capture and trade, at two scales: nationally (Chapter 2) and in Tamil Nadu state (Chapter 3). In Chapter 2, I found that seahorse extraction continued, mostly from non-selective fishing gear such as trawlers and drag-netters. I also found that by far the most seahorses were caught from the state of Tamil Nadu, even though the fishers there were most aware of the ban. In Chapter 3, I found that higher seahorse catches in Tamil Nadu were associated with (i) biogenic habitats and (ii) active and non-selective benthic fishing gear. I also found that despite the ban, seahorse populations in the state appeared to be declining and that illegal trade persisted. In Chapter 4, I explored why fishers continued catching protected species. I found a convergence of factors such as high economic value, ease of catching seahorses in non-selective gear, and fisher exclusion from the decision-making process, all helped to explain poor compliance. In Chapter 5, I showed a pragmatic spatial analysis of the pressures on wild seahorse populations, derived from fisher knowledge, which can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of existing management and guide a path to sustainable exports. My tiered mapping assessments of risk and responses can be deployed in other data-poor situations to help assess the sustainability of exploitation and overcome management paralysis. My thesis illuminates the failures of bans in managing catch and trade of incidentally caught marine fishes and the need instead to constrain indiscriminate fishing pressures like bottom trawling. These findings have implications for other countries considering bans as measures to manage wildlife.
Operationalizing Biesta: Bringing Unique Beings Into Existence in Standardized Spaces
Creators: name: Kovacs, Philip

Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2012

description: This essay details the authors’ attempts to implement a “Biestian” curriculum in a large, rural high school. Drawing on the work of Gert Biesta’s Beyond Learning: Democratic Education for a Human Future, the authors discuss a methodology that begins to satisfy Biesta’s theoretical underpinnings of what he calls a “humane education.” Acknowledging and rejecting Biesta’s warnings against turning his ideas into “technique,” the authors call for operationalizing democratic educational theorists despite their protestations, as refusing to do so allows neoliberal pedagogical reforms to maintain their hegemonic dominance. We focus on Biesta in particular as he is an established, highly regarded philosopher of educational practice and policy, and we believe theoretical work such as his is exactly the type of theory that must be turned into practice, despite his protestations.

description: Atividades antropogénicas e eventos extremos como incêndios florestais afetam os ecossistemas, criando regimes de estresse e distúrbios ecológicos. O estudo foi realizado em Portugal (zona central oeste) e avalia o impacto de um evento extremo como um incêndio na vida selvagem, através das diferenças no número de animais atropelados. O trabalho de campo foi realizado durante 24 meses, um ano antes e um após o incêndio de Outubro de 2017, dois dias consecutivos por semana, sendo o primeiro dia utilizado para recolha de todos os animais encontrados na estrada, seguida de sua identificação e o segundo dia para uma recolha matinal e vespertina seguidas de identificação de animais mortos encontrados nessas recolhas. A partir dos resultados obtidos com este estudo, podemos verificar que é possível atestar a influência que um evento extremo (incêndio) exerce sobre a vida selvagem, bem como verificar alguns dos efeitos que o fogo exerce sobre a vida selvagem da região. Registaram-se as classes de animais mais afetadas logo após o incêndio, além de monitorizar a variação das mortes nas estradas que estão diretamente relacionadas à recuperação do sistema. As diferenças entre o pré e pós fogo são evidentes.
