description: This study examines the Human Rights and the notion of citizenship under the prism of pedagogical science. The methodology that was followed was the experimental method. In a sample of 100 children -experimental group and control group held an intervention program with deepening axes of Human Rights and the concept of citizenship. The analysis of the findings presented in four axes. The first relates to the analysis of the responses of the two groups using quantitative data. The second axis concerns the discourse analysis of children's responses. The third axis relates to involve children and the fourth in the pop program of children's activities. In conclusion, according to the survey results, children may affect their participation shaping the curriculum at micro level but also affect their behavior in the macro. Children seem to understand a pedagogical context the concept of human rights and the concept of citizenship in their ability to influence the school and not only the daily life, respect the wishes of others, to understand the limits and restrictions in school and local community.

description: Aim of this study is to investigate primary education teachers’ views regarding field trips and their impact on student learning. The survey findings show that elementary teachers consider field trips as very important. Students who participate in field trips gain experiences that contribute to the achievement of precise educational objectives. Teachers have positive attitudes towards field trips as they consider that these have an effect on reinforcing student communication, cooperation and responsibility.

title: Evaluation of pheromone-based techniques for the monitoring of mealybug pests on cocoa farms
Creators: name: Kingsley-Umana, Emem Basil
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Insects, both as pests and vectors of diseases, are major challenges to cocoa, Theobroma 
cacao L., production in West Africa. Mealybugs are considered one of the major pests 
because they vector the cocoa swollen shoot virus, which causes significant losses to 
cocoa production in the region. The management of cocoa swollen shoot virus disease
has been a challenge and strategies put in place to control the disease have had varying 
success. Therefore, this thesis studied the biology of citrus mealybugs (Planococcus citri) 
of West African origin and investigated the application of pheromone-baited traps for the 
management of Pl. citri pests on cocoa farms in Cross River State, Nigeria. A survey was 
also carried out to determine the knowledge and perception of farmers in the region about 
how insect pests affect their cocoa farms and their willingness to use the pheromone-baited traps in insect pest management. The biology of Pl. citri of West African origin
was discovered to be similar to those of Pl. citri previously recorded from other 
geographical locations but individuals were smaller in size. The pheromone extracted 
from this mealybug population was also similar to the commercially available synthetic 
compound that is currently marketed for the monitoring of Pl. citri in other crops. The 
pheromone-baited trap experiment showed that Pl. citri was present all year with a peak 
in April. Traps checked for diel activity pattern showed the greatest male flight activity 
between 1800-0600. Trap design and colour had no significant effect on the number of 
male Pl. citri capture whereas trap placement height had a significant effect on the 
number of Pl. citri caught. The highest number was recorded at 0.3m. Cocoa farmers 
were aware of the pests affecting their farms and perceived Characoma stictigrapta, 
Eulophonotus myrmeleon and mirid Sahlbergella singularis to be severe pests of cocoa. 
Whilst 53.0% of farmers identified mealybugs to be present on their farms, only 4.6% of 
these farmers considered the damage they cause to be severe and 89.2% were not familiar with the CSSVD. Control by chemical pesticides was the method most commonly used 
by farmers (81.8%) for insect pest management. Ninety-five percent of the farmers 
surveyed were not aware of the use of pheromones in insect pest management; however, 
once the concept of pheromone-based management had been explained to them, the same 
proportion were willing to use this strategy. The results from this study facilitated
recommendations for the development and use of the commercially available Pl. citri 
pheromone in the integrated pest management of mealybug pests in the region.

description: We study J/psi photoproduction via fragmentation at next-to-leading order in the QCD-improved parton model, using the nonrelativistic factorization formalism proposed by Bodwin, Braaten, and Lepage. We consider direct and resolved photoproduction of prompt J/psi mesons and chi_{cJ} mesons radiatively decaying to J/psi+gamma, taking into account the formation of both color-singlet and color-octet c anti-c states. Adopting the values of the long-distance color-octet matrix elements extracted from fits to prompt-J/psi data recently taken at the Fermilab Tevatron, we predict that measurements of J/psi photoproduction at DESY HERA should show a distinctive excess over the expectation based on the color-singlet model at small values of the inelasticity variable z. This is complementary to the expected enhancement at z close to 1 due to the color-octet contribution to photon-gluon fusion.

The power of generative AI for CRIS systems: a new paradigm for scientific information management
Creators: name: Guillaumet, Anna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: CRIS systems have evolved significantly over the decades, from basic institutional repositories in the 1970s-80s to incorporating standards, open access, and metrics by the 2000s. Today, CRIS systems aim to store highly interoperable, well-classified data to enable AI integration. Something similar has happened with the evolution of AI systems since the concept was created in 1956.

AI is generally classified into weak AI (narrow, specialized) and strong AI (artificial general intelligence, still theoretical). The EU recently passed the AI Act, the world's first AI regulation, to ensure safe and responsible use while promoting innovation. Spain has its own AI strategy since 2020.

AI will revolutionize research by optimizing funding allocation, accelerating outputs, setting standards, providing infrastructure, addressing legal aspects, and enabling collaboration. Common AI techniques used in CRIS include generative AI for natural language processing, machine learning for text classification, and neural networks for summarization.

AI can automate tasks like researcher profile classification, research groups clustering, SDG alignment, and CERIF semantic enrichment. The IntelComp project demonstrates an AI platform for analyzing large volumes of science, technology and innovation data to assist policymakers, funders and researchers.

description: I show that for a κ-type organic (BEDT-TTF)_2-X molecular crystal, a superconducting state with T_c ~ 10 K and gap nodes on the Fermi surface can be caused by short-ranged antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. Using a two-band description for the anti-bonding orbitals on a BEDT-TTF dimer of the κ-type salt, and an intermediate local Coulomb repulsion between two holes on one dimer, the magnetic interaction and the superconducting gap-function are determined self consistently within the fluctuation exchange approximation. The pairing interaction is predominantly caused by inter-band coupling and additionally affected by spin excitations of the quasi one-dimensional band.

description: The effect of shear flow on the phase-ordering dynamics of a binary mixture with field-dependent mobility is investigated. The problem is addressed in the context of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation with an external velocity term, studied in self-consistent approximation. Assuming a scaling ansatz for the structure factor, the asymptotic behavior of the observables in the scaling regime can be analytically calculated. All the observables show log-time periodic oscillations which we interpret as due to a cyclical mechanism of stretching and break-up of domains. These oscillations are dumped as consequence of the vanishing of the mobility in the bulk phase.

description: Numerical simulations of the time-dependent Swift-Hohenberg equation are used to test predictions of Cross [Phys. Rev. A 25:1065-1076 (1982)] that Rayleigh-Benard convection in the form of straight rolls or of an array of dislocations may be observed in an annular domain depending on the values of inner radius r_1, outer radius r_2, reduced Rayleigh number epsilon, and the initial state. As r_1 is decreased for a fixed r_2 and for different choices of epsilon and initial states, we find that there are indeed ranges of these parameters for which the predictions of Cross are qualitatively correct. However, when the radius difference r_2-r_1 becomes larger than a few roll diameters, a new pattern is observed consisting of stripe domains separated by radially-oriented grain boundaries. The relative stabilities of the various patterns are compared by evaluating their Lypunov functional densities.

description: Uncertainties in stellar structure and evolution theory are largest for stars undergoing core convection on the main sequence. A powerful way to calibrate the free parameters used in the theory of stellar interiors is asteroseismology, which provides direct measurements of angular momentum and element transport. We report the detection and classification of new variable O and B stars using high-precision short-cadence (2-min) photometric observations assembled by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). In our sample of 154 O and B stars, we detect a high percentage (90%) of variability. Among these we find 23 multiperiodic pulsators, 6 eclipsing binaries, 21 rotational variables, and 25 stars with stochastic low-frequency variability. Several additional variables overlap between these categories. Our study of O and B stars not only demonstrates the high data quality achieved by TESS for optimal studies of the variability of the most massive stars in the Universe, but also represents the first step towards the selection and composition of a large sample of O and B pulsators with high potential for joint asteroseismic and spectroscopic modeling of their interior structure with unprecedented precision.

description: The theory of fluctuation conductivity for an arbitrary impurity concentration including ultra-clean limit is developed. It is demonstrated that the formal divergency of the fluctuation density of states contribution obtained previously for the clean case is removed by the correct treatment of the non-local ballistic electron scattering. We show that in the ultra-clean limit ($Tτ\gg \sqrt{\frac{T_c}{T-T_c}}$) the density-of-states quantum corrections are canceled by the Maki-Thompson term and only quasi-classical paraconductivity remains.

description: Benefitting from large-scale training datasets and the complex training network, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely applied in various fields with high accuracy. However, the training process of CNNs is very time-consuming, where large amounts of training samples and iterative operations are required to obtain high-quality weight parameters. In this paper, we focus on the time-consuming training process of large-scale CNNs and propose a Bi-layered Parallel Training (BPT-CNN) architecture in distributed computing environments. BPT-CNN consists of two main components: (a) an outer-layer parallel training for multiple CNN subnetworks on separate data subsets, and (b) an inner-layer parallel training for each subnetwork. In the outer-layer parallelism, we address critical issues of distributed and parallel computing, including data communication, synchronization, and workload balance. A heterogeneous-aware Incremental Data Partitioning and Allocation (IDPA) strategy is proposed, where large-scale training datasets are partitioned and allocated to the computing nodes in batches according to their computing power. To minimize the synchronization waiting during the global weight update process, an Asynchronous Global Weight Update (AGWU) strategy is proposed. In the inner-layer parallelism, we further accelerate the training process for each CNN subnetwork on each computer, where computation steps of convolutional layer and the local weight training are parallelized based on task-parallelism. We introduce task decomposition and scheduling strategies with the objectives of thread-level load balancing and minimum waiting time for critical paths. Extensive experimental results indicate that the proposed BPT-CNN effectively improves the training performance of CNNs while maintaining the accuracy.

description: We present a timing analysis of the eclipsing post-common envelope binary (PCEB) DE CVn. Based on new CCD photometric observations and the published data, we found that the orbital period in DE CVn has a cyclic period oscillation with an amplitude of $28.08$ s and a period of $11.22$ years plus a rapid period decrease at a rate of $\dot{P}=-3.35\times10^{-11}ss^{-1}$. According to the evolutionary theory, secular period decreases in PCEBs arise from angular momentum losses (AMLs) driven by gravitational radiation (GR) and magnetic braking (MB). However, the observed orbital decay is too fast to be produced by AMLs via GR and MB, indicating that there could be other AML mechanism. We suggest that a circumbinary disk around DE CVn may be responsible for the additional AML. The disk mass was derived as a few$\times$$10^{-4}$-$10^{-3}$$M_{\odot}$ , which is in agreement with that inferred from previous studies in the order of magnitude. The cyclic change is most likely result of the gravitational perturbation by a circumbinary object due to the Applegate's mechanism fails to explain such a large period oscillation. The mass of the potential third body is calculated as $M_{3}\sin{i'}=0.011(\pm0.003)M_{\odot}$. Supposing the circumbinary companion and the eclipsing binary is coplanar, its mass would correspond to a giant planet. This hypothetical giant planet is moving in a circular orbit of radius $\sim5.75(\pm2.02)$ AU around its host star.

description: Recent developments of the Josephson plasma resonance and transport c-axis measurements in layered high T$_{c}$ superconductors allow to probe Josephson coupling in a wide range of the vortex phase diagram. We derive a relation between the field dependent Josephson coupling energy and the density correlation function of the vortex liquid. This relation provides a unique opportunity to extract the density correlation function of pancake vortices from the dependence of the plasma resonance on the $ab$-component of the magnetic field at a fixed $c$-axis component.

description: We extend the Gutzwiller trace formula to systems of noninteracting identical particles. The standard relation for isolated orbits does not apply since the energy of each particle is separately conserved causing the periodic orbits to occur in continuous families. The identical nature of the particles also introduces discrete permutational symmetries. We exploit the formalism of Creagh and Littlejohn [Phys. Rev. A 44, 836 (1991)], who have studied semiclassical dynamics in the presence of continuous symmetries, to derive many-body trace formulas for the full and symmetry-reduced densities of states. Numerical studies of the three-particle cardioid billiard are used to explicitly illustrate and test the results of the theory.

description: In the context of modern educational strategies, digital tools play a major role in net generation’s learning, enhancing their digital literacy. In such a constructivism context, digital-web comics can be a useful pedagogical "tool" for both teachers and students. The aim of this paper is to present the digital comics created by 40 student teachers of School of Pedagogical and Technological Education (Western Macedonia branch). Also, will be presented, through qualitative research methodology and Thematic Analysis, student teachers’ perceptions regarding the benefits they have gained from the digital environment "Pixton" and their feelings by engaging in digital activities. The analysis of the answers shows that engaging in cooperative activities, mobilizing students, learning through play and entertainment, constructing knowledge and concepts through double coding, critical thinking and role playing are just some of the benefits that students can derive from the digital school.

Rapid falling of an orbiting moon to its parent planet due to tidal-seismic resonance

description: Tidal force plays an important role in the evolution of the planet-moon system. The tidal force of a moon can excite seismic waves in the planet it is orbiting. A tidal-seismic resonance is expected when a tidal force frequency matches a free-oscillation frequency of the planet. Here we show that when the moon is close to the planet, the tidal-seismic resonance can cause large-amplitude seismic waves, which can change the shape of the planet and in turn exert a negative torque on the moon to cause it to fall rapidly toward the planet. We postulate that the tidal-seismic resonance may be an important mechanism which can accelerate planet accretion process. On the other hand, tidal-seismic resonance effect can also be used to interrogate planet interior by long term tracking of the orbital change of the moon.

description: Active control of spin-wave dynamics is demonstrated using broadband ferromagnetic resonance in two-dimensional Ni80Fe20 antidot lattices arranged in hexagonal lattice with fixed lattice constant but varying antidot diameter. A strong modification in the spin-wave spectra is obtained with the variation in the antidot diameter as well as with the strength and orientation of the bias magnetic field. A broad band of modes is observed for the lattice with higher antidot diameter which decreases systematically as the antidot diameter is reduced. A crossover between the higher frequency branches is achieved in lattices with higher antidot diameter. In addition, the spin-wave modes in all lattices show a strong six-fold anisotropic behaviour due to the variation of internal field distribution as a function of the bias-field orientation. A mode hopping-like behavior is observed in the angular dispersions of spin-wave spectra for samples having intermediate hole diameters. Micromagnetic simulations qualitatively reproduce the experimentally observed spin-wave modes and the simulated mode profiles reveal the presence of extended and quantized standing spin-wave modes in these lattices. These observations are significant for large tunability and anisotropic propagation of spin waves in GHz frequency magnetic devices.
Antiresonance-Like Behavior in Carrier-Envelope-Phase-Sensitive Optical-Field Photoemission from Plasmonic Nanoantennas

description: Given the quasi-static nature of optical-field emission and the nontrivial dependence of the emission rate on the instantaneous electric field strength, the CEP-sensitive component of the emitted photocurrent is highly sensitive to the energy of the optical pulse, and should carry information about the underlying sub-cycle dynamics of electron emission. Here we examine CEP-sensitive photoemission from plasmonic gold nanoantennas excited with few-cycle optical pulses of increasing energy. We observe antiresonance-like features in the CEP-sensitive photocurrent; specifically, at a critical pulse energy, we observe a sharp dip in the magnitude of the CEP-sensitive photocurrent accompanied by a sudden shift of π-radians in the phase of the photocurrent. Using a quasi-static tunneling emission model, we find that these antiresonance-like features arise due to competition between electron emission from neighboring optical half-cycles, and that they are highly sensitive to the precise shape of the driving optical waveform at the surface of the emitter. As the underlying mechanisms that produce the antiresonance-like features are a general consequence of nonlinear, field-driven photoemission, the antiresonance-like features could be used to probe sub-optical-cycle, sub-femtosecond emission processes, not only from solid-state emitters, but also from gas-phase atoms and molecules. Beyond applications in the study of ultrafast, field-driven electron physics, an understanding of these antiresonance-like features will be critical to the development of novel photocathodes for future time-domain metrology and microscopy applications that demand both attosecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolution.

description: The article explores whether European Union membership has a socialisation effect on citizens’ attitudes towards their country’s membership of the EU. Using a sample of 15 Western European countries, it is shown that this is the case. First, evidence is provided of a positive lifelong socialisation effect: citizen support for their country’s membership of the EU increases with years spent living in an EU member state. Second, it is shown that those who joined the EU during their formative years are less supportive of the EU, whilst those who spent their formative years in a non-democracy are more positive about EU membership. The size of these effects is very small in comparison to that found for the lifelong socialisation effect, suggesting that the lifelong socialisation process of continued EU membership is much more important for EU attitudes. This study offers new insights into the formation of EU attitudes.

description: Are large scale research programs that include many projects more productive than smaller ones with fewer projects? This problem of economy of scale is particularly relevant for understanding recent mergers in particular in the pharmaceutical industry. We present a quantitative theory based on the characterization of distributions of discounted sales S resulting from new products. Assuming that these complementary cumulative distributions have fat tails with approximate power law structure S^{-a}, we demonstrate that economy of scales are automatically realized when the exponent a is less than one. Empirical evidence suggests that the exponent a is approximately equal to 2/3 for the pharmaceutical industry.

description: The behavior of a phase separating binary mixture in uniform shear flow is investigated by numerical simulations and in a renormalization group (RG) approach. Results show the simultaneous existence of domains of two characteristic scales. Stretching and cooperative ruptures of the network produce a rich interplay where the recurrent prevalence of thick and thin domains determines log-time periodic oscillations. A power law growth $ R(t) \sim t^α$ of the average domain size, with $α=4/3$ and $α= 1/3$ in the flow and shear direction respectively, is shown to be obeyed.

description: Taking the reported high-Q^2 anomaly at HERA as a signal of new physics, we show that several independent considerations point towards s-channel leptoquark production as the most attractive interpretation. We argue that even this option is highly constrained by flavor-changing processes: the couplings must be accurately diagonal in the quark and lepton mass eigenstate basis and should preserve individual quark and lepton family numbers. We propose a dynamical mechanism that might produce this pattern; it has distinctive experimental consequences.

description: We study wave function structure for quantum graphs in the chaotic and disordered regime, using measures such as the wave function intensity distribution and the inverse participation ratio. The result is much less ergodicity than expected from random matrix theory, even though the spectral statistics are in agreement with random matrix predictions. Instead, analytical calculations based on short-time semiclassical behavior correctly describe the eigenstate structure.

description: Effects of backward scattering between fractional quantum Hall (FQH) edge modes are studied. Based on the edge-state picture for hierarchical FQH liquids, we discuss the possibility of the transitions between different plateaux of the tunneling conductance $G$. We find a selection rule for the sequence which begins with a conductance $G=m/(mp\pm 1)$ ($m$: integer, $p$: even integer) in units of $e^2/h$. The shot-noise spectrum as well as the scaling behavior of the tunneling current is calculated explicitly.

description: The advent and intensive use of new detector technologies as well as radioactive ion beam facilities have opened up possibilities to investigate alpha, proton and cluster decays of highly unstable nuclei. This article provides a review of the current status of our understanding of clustering and the corresponding radioactive particle decay process in atomic nuclei. We put alpha decay in the context of charged-particle emissions which also include one- and two-proton emissions as well as heavy cluster decay. The experimental as well as the theoretical advances achieved recently in these fields are presented. Emphasis is given to the recent discoveries of charged-particle decays from proton-rich nuclei around the proton drip line. Those decay measurements have shown to provide an important probe for studying the structure of the nuclei involved. Developments on the theoretical side in nuclear many-body theories and supercomputing facilities have also made substantial progress, enabling one to study the nuclear clusterization and decays within a microscopic and consistent framework. We report on properties induced by the nuclear interaction acting in the nuclear medium, like the pairing interaction, which have been uncovered by studying the microscopic structure of clusters. The competition between cluster formations as compared to the corresponding alpha-particle formation are included. In the review we also describe the search for super-heavy nuclei connected by chains of alpha and other radioactive particle decays.

Sensors and structured beams in optical coherence tomography
Creators: name: Kim, Eun Song
Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin
Year: 2017
Subjects: Optical coherence tomography

description: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging medical imaging technique that provides images of various tissue structures at micrometer scale resolution. A swept source laser which emits time-varying wavelengths light at a high-speed was developed that greatly improves OCT processing speed and image resolution. This dissertation presents system developments for swept source based OCT. I have designed and demonstrated three different OCT systems that can be used for diagnostic applications. First, I present a common-path OCT system with a cleaved optical fiber as a probe. The system is built as a tactile sensor for implementation in surgical robots. A tactile sensor, often referred to as a force sensor, is a device that is sensitive to applied force or pressure. Since the system has a high sensitivity to pressure and a compact size, the sensor is compatible with the surgical robots field which require fine force control. This new sensor may aid in diagnosing diseased tissue or cells by measuring their Young' s modulus. Secondly, an Angular/Longitudinal Doppler OCT system (ALD-OCT) was constructed to sense the rotation of an object. Previous work has shown, it is feasible to detect a linearly moving object by Doppler OCT. However, ALD-OCT, OCT utilizes a helical phase shape beam that, has been studied due to its distinct characteristics. An application of using a vortex beam is sensing a rotating object by measuring the angular Doppler shift from the beam reflected off the object. ALD-OCT can utilize depth resolved analysis and be implemented to detect helical shaped particles or the vorticity of blood flows under the skin or in the retina noninvasively. Lastly, we propose several designs of optical probes for a swept source OCT system. The designs of the GRIN lens bundle probes were presented to demonstrate angled illumination and detection techniques in OCT systems. The beam profiles of the output beams from the probes were analyzed theoretically using ABCD ray matrices. We present a method to measure the beam profile of a sweeping wavelength laser source, which can be applied to measure any optical probes connected to the swept source laser.
Past and future of the central double-degenerate core of Henize 2-428

description: It has been suggested that SNe Ia could be produced in the condition of the violent merger scenario of the double-degenerate model, in which a thermonuclear explosion could be produced when the merging of double carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (CO WDs) is still ongoing. It has been recently found that the nucleus of the bipolar planetary nebula Henize 2-428 consists of double CO WDs that have a total mass of ~1.76Msun, a mass ratio of ~1 and an orbital period of ~4.2 hours, which is the first and only discovered progenitor candidate of SNe Ia predicted by the violent merger scenario. In this work, we aim to reproduce the evolutionary history of the central double CO WDs of Henize 2-428. We find that the planetary nebula Henize 2-428 may originate from a primordial binary that have a ~5.4Msun primary and a ~2.7Msun secondary with an initial orbital period of ~15.9 days. The double CO WDs are formed after the primordial binary experiencing two Roche-lobe overflows and two common-envelope ejection processes. According to our calculations, it takes about ~840 Myr for the double CO WDs to merge and form an SN Ia driven by the gravitational wave radiation after their birth. To produce the current status of Henize 2-428, a large common-envelope parameter is needed. We also estimate that the rate of SNe Ia from the violent merger scenario is at most 2.9*10-4 yr-1, and that the delay time is in the range of ~90 Myr to the Hubble time.

description: Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, a serious form of pneumonia. Its macrophage infectivity potentiator (Mip), a member of a highly conserved family of FK506‐binding proteins (FKBPs), plays a major role in the proliferation of the gram‐negative bacterium in host organisms. In this work, we test our library of >1000 FKBP‐focused ligands for inhibition of LpMip. The [4.3.1]‐bicyclic sulfonamide turned out as a highly preferred scaffold and provided the most potent LpMip inhibitors known so far. Selected compounds were non‐toxic to human cells, displayed antibacterial activity and block bacterial proliferation in cellular infection‐assays as well as infectivity in human lung tissue explants. The results confirm [4.3.1]‐bicyclic sulfonamides as anti‐legionellal agents, although their anti‐infective properties cannot be explained by inhibition of LpMip alone.
