description: In this paper, I discuss nominal compound formation in language contact situations, the question being of how compounding in language mixing can inform both theories of mixing and theories of word-hood. This contributes to our further understanding of how word formation operates in cases of language mixing and what exactly is being mixed in mixing, i.e., words vs. units smaller than words, e.g., stems or roots. Compounding is important to answer this question, as languages differ with respect to the units they employ for compound formation, i.e., phrases vs. stems. The data to be discussed will be a mixture of materials that have already been published in the literature and newly collected data and involve several mixing varieties, namely, Greek–English, Greek–Italian, Greek–Turkish, Turkish–Norwegian, Turkish–Dutch, and French–Dutch. I then offer an analysis using the tools of syntactic models of word formation (e.g., distributed morphology), assuming a decompositional approach.

description: We study experimentally the possibility to utilize pulses of pure spin current, produced via the nonlocal spin injection mechanism, to generate short packets of spin waves propagating in nanoscale magnetic waveguides. The spatially and time-resolved micro-focus Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that the excitation by spin current results in extremely fast transient response, enabling efficient generation of short spin-wave packets with duration down to a few nanoseconds. The proposed method opens a route for the implementation of high-speed magnonic systems for transmission and processing of information on the nanoscale.

description: The OPERA experiment was designed to observe ${ν_μ}$ ${\rightarrow}$ ${ν_τ}$ oscillations through ${ν_τ}$ appearance at a baseline of 730 km in the CNGS beam. Newly developed emulsion analysis technology allows to measure ${ν_e}$, ${ν_μ}$ and ${ν_τ}$ interactions with the largest emulsion detector ever made. OPERA has detected five ${ν_τ}$ candidates, allowing to reject the background-only hypothesis at 5.1 $σ$. The parameters for standard and non-standard oscillations are measured and constrained.

description: This study works to examine the impact of Community Violence Exposure on the executive functioning of youth previously diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Utilizing medical chart data from the University of Chicago (UChicago) Medicine’s Pediatric Neuropsychology program, this study includes 68 ADHD diagnosed participants aged 5 to 16 primarily from neighborhoods located in the south side of Chicago. As the measurement of executive functioning, both the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) first and second edition assessments were used both separately and combined. Results showed slight incompatibilities between the BRIEF-1 and BRIEF-2 GEC scores that were found to influence findings.Initial correlational analyses found a slight positive correlation between CVE and the BRIEF-1 GEC, and no significance for the BRIEF-2 GEC and BRIEF GEC combined profiles. Regression analyses conducted indicated a significant impact on executive functioning solely with the BRIEF-1 as the dependent variable. Findings indicate further need to study interactions between CVE and externalizing disorders to better inform treatment and diagnosis.

description: BICEP3 is a small-aperture refracting cosmic microwave background (CMB) telescope designed to make sensitive polarization maps in pursuit of a potential B-mode signal from inflationary gravitational waves. It is the latest in the BICEP/Keck Array series of CMB experiments at the South Pole, which has provided the most stringent constraints on inflation to date. For the 2016 observing season, BICEP3 was outfitted with a full suite of 2400 optically coupled detectors operating at 95 GHz. In these proceedings we report on the far field beam performance using calibration data taken during the 2015-2016 summer deployment season in situ with a thermal chopped source. We generate high-fidelity per-detector beam maps, show the array-averaged beam profile, and characterize the differential beam response between co-located, orthogonally polarized detectors which contributes to the leading instrumental systematic in pair differencing experiments. We find that the levels of differential pointing, beamwidth, and ellipticity are similar to or lower than those measured for BICEP2 and Keck Array. The magnitude and distribution of BICEP3's differential beam mismatch - and the level to which temperature-to-polarization leakage may be marginalized over or subtracted in analysis - will inform the design of next-generation CMB experiments with many thousands of detectors.

Experience, goal attainment and outcomes of physiotherapy participants funded by an individualised government package

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores experience, goal attainment and physical outcomes of individuals participating in a community Physiotherapy program funded by a new government funding package, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). It builds on the small but growing evidence base of participant, carer and service provider experience with the NDIS while also adding to evidence on goal attainment. To date, evidence has demonstrated overall satisfaction with the NDIS with concurrent reports of negative experiences at a participant, carer and service provider level. Evidence regarding goals and goal attainment within hospital-based rehabilitation demonstrates person-centered goal setting is rarely used, despite measures of goal attainment displaying positive changes not captured in concurrently measured standardised outcomes. However, no known study has investigated goal attainment and outcomes in individuals accessing a community Physiotherapy program funded by the NDIS. Therefore, a cross-sectional survey and consecutive case series were conducted, exploring outcomes in 23 adults from April 2019 to November 2019. NDIS funding enabled all participants to access more frequent or otherwise inaccessible Physiotherapy. Most participants were satisfied with the NDIS however, three main negative themes arose. They were, time lag with administration and receiving supports, inadequate funding for desired therapies and limited understanding of the NDIS and participant disability. Goals were attained; however, this was not reflected in concurrently measured outcomes. Changes in outcome measures differed between individuals. These findings suggest that individuals are benefiting from NDIS funded Physiotherapy services, however they experience issues with the NDIS. Future research is recommended to further explore the impact of the NDIS on physical outcomes of individuals accessing community-based Physiotherapy programs and investigate experience in accessing the NDIS to guide improvements of the scheme.
On the highly inclined $v_W$ leptokurtic asteroid families

description: $v_W$ leptokurtic asteroid families are families for which the distribution of the normal component of the terminal ejection velocity field $v_W$ is characterized by a positive value of the $γ_2$ Pearson kurtosis, i.e., they have a distribution with a more concentrated peak and larger tails than the Gaussian one. Currently, eight families are known to have $γ_2(v_W) > 0.25$. Among these, three are highly inclined asteroid families, the Hansa, Barcelona, and Gallia families. As observed for the case of the Astrid family, the leptokurtic inclination distribution seems to be caused by the interaction of these families with node secular resonances. In particular, the Hansa and Gallia family are crossed by the $s-s_V$ resonance with Vesta, that significantly alters the inclination of some of their members. In this work we use the time evolution of $γ_2(v_W)$ for simulated families under the gravitational influence of all planets and the three most massive bodies in the main belt to assess the dynamical importance (or lack of) node secular resonances with Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas for the considered families, and to obtain independent constraints on the family ages. While secular resonances with massive bodies in the main belt do not significantly affect the dynamical evolution of the Barcelona family, they significantly increase the $γ_2(v_W)$ values of the simulated Hansa and Gallia families. Current values of the $γ_2(v_W)$ for the Gallia family are reached over the estimated family age only if secular resonances with Vesta are accounted for.

description: We present long term H$α$ monitoring results of five Be/X-ray binaries to study the Be disc size variations and their influence on Type II (giant) X-ray outbursts. The work is done in the context of the viscous decretion disc model which predicts that Be discs in binary systems are truncated by resonant torques induced by the neutron star in its orbit. Our observations show that type II outbursts are not correlated(nor anti-correlated) with the disc size, as they are seen to occur both at relatively small and large Be disc radii. We discuss these observations in context of alternate interpretation of Be disc behaviour, such as precession, elongation and density effects, and with cognisance of the limitations of our disc size estimates.

description: We use free-standing TiO2 nanotube membranes that are transferred onto FTO slides in front-side illuminated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We investigate the key parameters for solar cell arrangement of self-ordered anodic TiO2 nanotube layers on the FTO substrate and namely the influence of the annealing procedure on the DSSC light conversion efficiency. The results show that using an optimal temperature annealing profile can significantly enhance the DSSC efficiency (in our case 9.8 %), as it leads to a markedly lower density of trapping states in the tube oxide, and thus to strongly improved electron transport properties.

description: Superconformal algebra leads to remarkable connections between the masses of mesons and baryons of the same parity -- supersymmetric relations between the bosonic and fermionic bound states of QCD. Supercharges connect the mesonic eigenstates to their baryonic superpartners, where the mesons have internal angular momentum one unit higher than the baryons. We also predict the existence of tetraquarks which are degenerate in mass with baryons with the same angular momentum. An effective supersymmetric light-front Hamiltonian for hadrons composed of light quarks can be constructed by embedding superconformal quantum mechanics into AdS space. The breaking of conformal symmetry determines a unique quark-confining light-front potential for light hadrons including spin-spin interactions in agreement with the soft-wall AdS/QCD approach and light-front holography. The mass-squared of the light hadrons can be expressed as a frame-independent decomposition of contributions from the constituent kinetic energy, the confinement potential, and spin-spin contributions. The mass of the pion eigenstate vanishes in the chiral limit. Only one mass parameter appears; it sets the confinement mass scale, a universal value for the slope of all Regge trajectories, the nonzero mass of the proton and other hadrons in the chiral limit, as well as the mass parameter of the pQCD running coupling. The result is an effective coupling defined at all momenta. The matching of the high and low momentum-transfer regimes determines a scale $Q_0$ which sets the interface between perturbative and nonperturbative hadron dynamics. as well as the factorization scale for structure functions and distribution amplitudes. This procedure, in combination with the scheme-independent PMC procedure for setting renormalization scales, can greatly improve the precision of QCD predictions.

description: We discuss the non-perturbative contributions from real and complex saddle point solutions in the $\mathbb{C}P^1$ quantum mechanics with fermionic degrees of freedom, using the Lefschetz thimble formalism beyond the gaussian approximation. We find bion solutions, which correspond to (complexified) instanton-antiinstanton configurations stabilized in the presence of the fermionic degrees of freedom. By computing the one-loop determinants in the bion backgrounds, we obtain the leading order contributions from both the real and complex bion solutions. To incorporate quasi zero modes which become nearly massless in a weak coupling limit, we regard the bion solutions as well-separated instanton-antiinstanton configurations and calculate a complexified quasi moduli integral based on the Lefschetz thimble formalism. The non-perturbative contributions from the real and complex bions are shown to cancel out in the supersymmetric case and give an (expected) ambiguity in the non-supersymmetric case, which plays a vital role in the resurgent trans-series. For nearly supersymmetric situation, evaluation of the Lefschetz thimble gives results in precise agreement with those of the direct evaluation of the Schrödinger equation. We also perform the same analysis for the sine-Gordon quantum mechanics and point out some important differences showing that the sine-Gordon quantum mechanics does not correctly describe the 1d limit of the $\mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ field theory of $\mathbb{R} \times S^1$.

Electrical energy generation (incl. renewables, excl. photovoltaics)

description: Most power is generated using fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and diesel. The contribution of coal to power generation is very high compared to other sources. Almost all thermal power plants use coal as a fuel for power generation. Such sources of fossil fuels are limited and thus the cost of power generation increases. At the same time, the induced toxic gases due to these fossil fuels pollute the environment. The objective of this work is to solve the economic emission dispatch problem. Economic emission dispatch helps to find out how to operate power plants at the minimum cost and induce the minimum emissions at a thermal power plant. Economic emission dispatch with constraints is a nonlinear optimization problem. For the solution of such nonlinear economic emission load dispatch problems, this work considers a new particle swarm optimization technique. The proposed new PSO gives the best solution for economic emission load dispatch and handles the constraints. For the testing of the proposed new PSO algorithm, this work considered a case study of a system of six generating units, and it was tested for load demands of 700 MW, 800 MW, and 1000 MW. The results of the new PSO for the three load demands considered give the minimum generation cost, minimum emission, and minimum total cost compared to other optimization algorithms. The proposed techniques are effective, and they can help obtain the minimum generation cost and minimize emissions.
Second-order fluctuation theory and time autocorrelation function for currents

description: By using recent developments for the Langevin dynamics of spatially asymmetric systems, we routinely generalize the Onsager-Machlup fluctuation theory of the second order in time. In this form, it becomes applicable to fluctuating variables, including hydrodynamic currents, in equilibrium as well as nonequilibrium steady states. From the solution of the obtained stochastic equations we derive an analytical expression for the time autocorrelation function of a general fluctuating quantity. This theoretical result is then tested in a study of a shear flow by molecular dynamics simulations. The proposed form of the time autocorrelation function yields an excellent fit to our computational data for both equilibrium and nonequilibrium steady states. Unlike the analogous result of the first-order Onsager-Machlup theory, our expression correctly describes the short-time correlations. Its utility is demonstrated in an application of the Green-Kubo formula for the transport coefficient. Curiously, the normalized time autocorrelation function for the shear flow, which only depends on the deterministic part of the fluctuation dynamics, appears independent of the external shear force in the linear nonequilibrium regime.

description: Dual-comb interferometry is a measurement technique that uses two laser frequency combs to retrieve complex spectra in a line-by-line basis. This technique can be implemented with electro-optic frequency combs, offering intrinsic mutual coherence, high acquisition speed and flexible repetition-rate operation. A challenge with the operation of this kind of frequency comb in dual-comb interferometry is its limited optical bandwidth. Here, we use coherent spectral broadening and demonstrate electro-optic dual-comb interferometry over the entire telecommunications C band (200 lines covering ~ 40 nm, measured within 10 microseconds at 100 signal-to-noise ratio per spectral line). These results offer new prospects for electro-optic dual-comb interferometry as a suitable technology for high-speed broadband metrology, for example in optical coherence tomography or coherent Raman microscopy.

description: In this work we generalize the models for nonlinear waves in a gas--liquid mixture taking into account an interphase heat transfer, a surface tension and a weak liquid compressibility simultaneously at the derivation of the equations for nonlinear waves. We also take into consideration high order terms with respect to the small parameter. Two new nonlinear differential equations are derived for long weakly nonlinear waves in a liquid with gas bubbles by the reductive perturbation method considering both high order terms with respect to the small parameter and the above mentioned physical properties. One of these equations is the perturbation of the Burgers equation and corresponds to main influence of dissipation on nonlinear waves propagation. The other equation is the perturbation of the Burgers--Korteweg--de Vries equation and corresponds to main influence of dispersion on nonlinear waves propagation.

description: Composite dark matter (DM) comprised of electrically charged constituents can interact with the electromagnetic field via the particle's dipole moment. This interaction results in a dispersive optical index of refraction for the DM medium. We compute this refractive index for atomic dark matter and more strongly bound systems, modeled via a harmonic oscillator potential. The dispersive nature of the index will result in a time lag between high and low energy photons simultaneously emitted from a distant astrophysical observable. This time lag, due to matter dispersion, could confound potential claims of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) which can also result in such time lags. We compare the relative size of the two effects and determine that the dispersion due to DM is dwarfed by potential LIV effects for energies below the Planck scale.

The observed parameters of all of these MAXI/GSC flares are found to be at the upper ends for stellar flares with the luminosity of 10^(31-34) ergs s-1 in the 2-20 keV band, the emission measure of 10^(54-57) cm-3, the e-folding time of 1 hour to 1.5 days, and the total radiative energy released during the flare of 10^(34-39) ergs. Notably, the peak X-ray luminosity of 5(3-9)*10^33 ergs s-1 in the 2-20 keV band was detected in one of the flares on II Peg, which is one of the, or potentially the, largest ever observed in stellar flares. X-ray flares were detected from GT Mus, V841 Cen, SZ Psc, and TWA-7 for the first time in this survey. Whereas most of our detected sources are multiple-star systems, two of them are single stars (YZ CMi and TWA-7). Among the stellar sources within 100 pc distance, the MAXI/GSC sources have larger rotation velocities than the other sources. This suggests that the rapid rotation velocity may play a key role in generating large flares. Combining the X-ray flare data of nearby stars and the sun, taken from literature and our own data, we discovered a universal correlation of tau~L_X^0.2 for the flare duration tau and the intrinsic X-ray luminosity L_X in the 0.1-100 keV band, which holds for 5 and 12 orders of magnitude in tau and L_X, respectively. The MAXI/GSC sample is located at the highest ends on the correlation.

description: The present paper deals with existence and uniqueness of global mild solutions for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations with impulses. Using the framework of nonautonomous dynamical systems, we extend previous results considering the 2D Navier-Stokes equations with impulse effects and allowing that the nonlinear terms are explicitly time-dependent. Additionally, we present sufficient conditions to obtain dissipativity (boundedness) for solutions starting in bounded sets.

description: Optical non-linearities, such as thermo-optic effects and free-carrier-dispersion, are often considered as undesired effects in silicon-based resonators and, more specifically, optomechanical (OM) cavities, affecting the relative detuning between an optical resonance and the excitation laser. However, the interplay between such mechanisms could also enable unexpected physical phenomena to be used in new applications. In the present work, we exploit those non-linearities and their intercoupling with the mechanical degrees of freedom of a silicon OM nanobeam to unveil a rich set of fundamentally different complex dynamics. By smoothly changing the parameters of the excitation laser, namely its power and wavelength, we demonstrate accurate control for activating bi-dimensional and tetra-dimensional limit-cycles, a period doubling route and chaos. In addition, by scanning the laser parameters in opposite senses we demonstrate bistability and hysteresis between bi-dimensional and tetra-dimensional limit-cycles, between different coherent mechanical states and between tetra-dimensional limit-cycles and chaos. As a result of implementing the Rosenstein algorithm to the experimental time series we have extracted a Largest Lyapunov Exponent of LLE=1.3x10^5 s-1, which is between one and two orders of magnitude lower than the typical oscillating frequencies of the system. Most of the experimental features can be well reproduced with a model of first-order non-linear differential equations coupled through the number of intracavity photons. Our findings open several routes towards exploiting silicon-based OM photonic crystals for systems with memory and, more specifically, for chaos based applications such as secure information transfer or sensing.

description: An important background in detectors using liquid xenon for rare event searches arises from the decays of radon and its daughters. We report for the first time a reduction of $^{222}$Rn in the gas phase above a liquid xenon reservoir. We show a reduction factor of $\gtrsim 4$ for the $^{222}$Rn concentration in boil-off xenon gas compared to the radon enriched liquid phase. A semiconductor-based $α$-detector and miniaturized proportional counters are used to detect the radon. As the radon depletion in the boil-off gas is understood as a single-stage distillation process, this result establishes the suitability of cryogenic distillation to separate radon from xenon down to the $10^{-15}\,$mol/mol level.

description: The enhancement of the power conversion efficiency (PCE), and subsequent reduction of cost, of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is of crucial importance in the current lightening market. For this reason, we propose here a PCE-enhanced LED architecture, based on a partially reflecting metasurface cavity (PRMC) structure. This structure simultaneously enhances the light extraction efficiency (LEE) and the spontaneous emission rate (SER) of the LED by enforcing the emitted light to radiate perpendicularly to the device, so as to suppress wave trapping and enhance field confinement near the emitter, while ensuring cavity resonance matching and maximal constructive field interference. The PRMC structure is designed using a recent surface susceptibility metasurface synthesis technique. A PRMC blue LED design is presented and demonstrated by full-wave simulation to provide LEE and SER enhancements by factors 4.0 and 1.9, respectively, which correspond to PCE enhancement factors of 6.2, 5.2 and 4.5 for IQEs of 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75, respectively, suggesting that the PRMC concept has a promising potential in LED technology.

description: Fuzzy logic is an alternate approach for quantifying uncertainty relating to activity duration. The fuzzy version of the backward recursion has been shown to produce results that incorrectly amplify the level of uncertainty. However, the fuzzy version of the forward recursion has been widely proposed as an approach for determining the fuzzy set of critical path lengths. In this paper, the direct application of the extension principle leads to a proposition that must be satisfied in fuzzy critical path analysis. Using a counterexample it is demonstrated that the fuzzy forward recursion when discrete fuzzy sets are used to represent activity durations produces results that are not consistent with the theory presented. The problem is shown to be the application of the fuzzy maximum. Several methods presented in the literature are described and shown to provide results that are consistent with the extension principle.

description: The impact of surface reflection upon transmission through and energy distributions within random media has generally been described in terms of the boundary extrapolation lengths $z_b, z_b'$ at the input and output end of an open sample, which are the distance beyond the sample surfaces at which the energy density within the sample extrapolates to zeroThe importance of reflection at the sample boundaries plays a key role in the scaling of transmission. Here we consider the impact of surface reflection on the propagation of diffusive waves in terms of the modification of the distribution of transmission eigenvalues (DTE). We review our finding of a transition in the analytical form of the DTE at the point that the sample length equals $|z_b-z_b'|$. The highest transmission eigenvalue for stronger asymmetry in boundary reflection is strictly smaller than unity. The average transmission and profiles of energy density inside the sample can still be described in terms of the sample length, $L$, and the boundary extrapolation lengths on both sides of the sample, $z_b, z_b'$. For localized waves, we find the energy density profile within the sample is a segment of the distribution that would be found in a longer sample with length $L+z_b+z_b'$. These results suggest new ways of controlling wave interference in both diffusive and localized systems by varying boundary reflectivity.
Temperature coefficients of crystalline-quartz elastic constants over the cryogenic range [4 K, 15 K]

description: This paper brings out results of a measurement campaign aiming to determine the temperature coefficients of synthetic quartz elastic constants at liquid helium temperature. The method is based on the relationship between the resonance frequencies of a quartz acoustic cavity and the elastic constants of the material. The temperature coefficients of the elastic constants are extracted from experimental frequency-temperature data collected from a set of resonators of various cut angles, because of the anisotropy of quartz, measured on the very useful cryogenic range [4 K - 15 K]. The knowledge of these temperature coefficients would allow to further design either quartz temperature sensors or conversely frequency-temperature compensated quartz cuts. With extremely low losses, lower than $10^{-9}$ for the best ones, key applications of such devices are ultra-low loss mechanical systems used in many research areas including frequency control and fundamental measurements. The Eulerian formalism is used in this study to identify the temperature coefficients.

description: Abraham Robinson's framework for modern infinitesimals was developed half a century ago. It enables a re-evaluation of the procedures of the pioneers of mathematical analysis. Their procedures have been often viewed through the lens of the success of the Weierstrassian foundations. We propose a view without passing through the lens, by means of proxies for such procedures in the modern theory of infinitesimals. The real accomplishments of calculus and analysis had been based primarily on the elaboration of novel techniques for solving problems rather than a quest for ultimate foundations. It may be hopeless to interpret historical foundations in terms of a punctiform continuum, but arguably it is possible to interpret historical techniques and procedures in terms of modern ones. Our proposed formalisations do not mean that Fermat, Gregory, Leibniz, Euler, and Cauchy were pre-Robinsonians, but rather indicate that Robinson's framework is more helpful in understanding their procedures than a Weierstrassian framework.
