description: The thermal conductivity of the iron-arsenide superconductor KFe2As2 was measured down to 50 mK for a heat current parallel and perpendicular to the tetragonal c-axis. A residual linear term (RLT) at T=0 is observed for both current directions, confirming the presence of nodes in the superconducting gap. Our value of the RLT in the plane is equal to that reported by Dong et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 087005 (2010)] for a sample whose residual resistivity was ten times larger. This independence of the RLT on impurity scattering is the signature of universal heat transport, a property of superconducting states with symmetry-imposed line nodes. This argues against an s-wave state with accidental nodes. It favors instead a d-wave state, an assignment consistent with five additional properties: the magnitude of the critical scattering rate for suppressing Tc to zero; the magnitude of the RLT, and its dependence on current direction and on magnetic field; the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity.

description: We report on the realization of a capacitive dilatometer, designed for high-resolution measurements of length changes of a material for temperatures 1.4 K $\leq T \leq$ 300 K and hydrostatic pressure $P \leq$ 250 MPa. Helium ($^4$He) is used as a pressure-transmitting medium, ensuring hydrostatic-pressure conditions. Special emphasis has been given to guarantee, to a good approximation, constant-pressure conditions during temperature sweeps. The performance of the dilatometer is demonstrated by measurements of the coefficient of thermal expansion at pressures $P \simeq$ 0.1 MPa (ambient pressure) and 104 MPa on a single crystal of azurite, Cu$_3$(CO$_3$)$_2$(OH)$_2$, a quasi-one-dimensional spin S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The results indicate a strong effect of pressure on the magnetic interactions in this system.

description: We investigate the extent to which the probabilistic properties of a chaotic scattering system with dissipation can be understood from the properties of the dissipation-free system. For large energies $E$, a fully chaotic scattering leads to an exponential decay of the survival probability $P(t) \sim e^{-κt}$ with an escape rate $κ$ that decreases with $E$. Dissipation $γ>0$ leads to the appearance of different finite-time regimes in $P(t)$. We show how these different regimes can be understood for small $γ\ll 1$ and $t\gg 1/κ_0$ from the effective escape rate $κ_γ(t)=κ_0(E(t))$ (including the non-hyperbolic regime) until the energy reaches a critical value $E_c$ at which no escape is possible. More generally, we argue that for small dissipation $γ$ and long times $t$ the surviving trajectories in the dissipative system are distributed according to the conditionally invariant measure of the conservative system at the corresponding energy $E(t)

open source ecosystem

description: Software impacts virtually all areas of research but has been an heavily undervalued contribution. Over the past decade alone, the research software landscape has changed dramatically. It is now substantially easier to start new software projects, find a friendly community of practice, and technical resources. The research software engineer career track has also taken off and made life easier for many individuals. However, several key challenges remain. Despite the growing recognition of research software, it is still challenging to demonstrate impact or find support for the maintenance of existing software. In this talk I describe some ideas on how to uncover software that is driving research and construct knowledge graphs to ask questions about software use and sustainability. I also describe the various conditions necessary to turn nascent software projects into self sustainable ecosystems.

description: It is shown that the Schwarzschild spacetime can be extended so that the metric becomes analytic at the singularity. The singularity continues to exist, but it is made degenerate and smooth, and the infinities are removed by an appropriate choice of coordinates. A family of analytic extensions is found, and one of these extensions is semi-regular. A degenerate singularity doesn't destroy the topology, and when is semi-regular, it allows the field equations to be rewritten in a form which avoids the infinities, as it was shown elsewhere (arXiv:1105.0201, arXiv:1105.3404). In the new coordinates, the Schwarzschild solution extends beyond the singularity. This suggests a possibility that the information is not destroyed in the singularity, and can be restored after the evaporation.

description: Using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we study the heat conduction in graphene flakes composed by two regions. One region is mass-loaded and the other one is intact. It is found that the mass interface between the two regions greatly decreases the thermal conductivity, but it would not bring thermal rectification effect. The dependence of thermal conductivity upon the heat flux and the mass difference ratio are studied to confirm the generality of the result. The interfacial scattering of solitons is studied to explain the absence of rectification effect.

It’s complicated : exploring Facebook’s potential for deliberative public engagement on sustainability policy
Creators: name: Haas Lyons, Susanna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The explosion of low-cost interactive digital tools like Facebook has prompted governments around the world to experiment with online public engagement. However, the media’s rapidly changing nature, combined with limited research in the field, means that little is known about how social media impacts who participates, how they participate and what is contributed in these online public engagement activities. To address these questions, the researcher convened over 500 people in a Facebook-based deliberation about transportation policy for the City of Vancouver, Canada, which resulted in recommendations that were considered by the City in drafting a long-range plan. Two hypotheses are explored: (1) locating a deliberative public engagement on Facebook can address some key challenges of in-person deliberation, and (2) deliberative discourse can be cultivated within a social media environment. An analysis of Facebook’s affordances – access to publics, distributed time and space, collaboration and learning, cross-platform connectivity, and social character – suggests that its properties both improve and impede the deliberative qualities of public engagement such as demographic representativeness, frequency of participation and reflective opinion sharing. Measuring participant discourse according to criteria of deliberativeness – discussion coherence, disagreement, opinion justification, engagement, and equality – demonstrates that this case study fostered the individual role in deliberation such as topical coherence, justified opinions and equal access to the discussion. However, the e-deliberation was not as successful as hoped in eliciting group aspects of deliberation such as disagreement and engagement with one another’s contributions. Together, these investigations provide a cautious but optimistic view on social media for deliberative public engagement. The study concludes by pointing to the need for further attention in social media based deliberation to engagement process design, participant recruitment and discussion tool development.

Patriarchy, political enmity, and domestic violence: Exploring abusive mixed intimate partnerships in a conflict zone

description: Mixed couples face more marital conflict than endogamous couples. Drawing on intersectional theory and narrative victimology, this study examines women’s accounts of abuse in mixed heterosexual Arab/Palestinian–Israeli Jewish intimate partnerships amid the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The narratives of 25 women formerly in an abusive relationship are the primary data, which are supplemented by a comprehensive list of calls seeking advice or intervention from a non-governmental organization (NGO) that assists women in mixed relationships, and the NGO’s recorded in-service training sessions during which social workers discuss clients’ plights and abuse exposure. Consistent with research on mixed couples, the women’s narratives connect their abuse to differences, dynamics, and tensions rooted in cultural, religious, and social beliefs and practices. Importantly, the narratives also highlight how the Israeli–Palestinian conflict amplifies and escalates the women’s abuse. Intersections of gender, religion, and nationality as well as life in a conflict zone critically affect the abuse dynamic the women experience. The article concludes with a discussion of the relevance of narrative victimology and political enmity for intersectional approaches to domestic violence.
Constraint Propagation of $C^2$-adjusted Formulation II --- Another Recipe for Robust Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura Evolution System ---

description: In order to obtain an evolution system which is robust against the violation of constraints, we present a new set of evolution systems based on the so-called Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura (BSSN) equations.The idea is to add functional derivatives of the norm of constraints, $C^2$, to the evolution equations, which was proposed by Fiske (2004) and was applied to the ADM formulation in our previous study. We derive the constraint propagation equations, discuss the behavior of constraint damping, and present the results of numerical tests using the gauge-wave and polarized Gowdy wave spacetimes. The construction of the $C^2$-adjusted system is straightforward. However, in BSSN, there are two kinetic constraints and three algebraic constraints; thus, the definition of $C^2$ is a matter of concern. By analyzing constraint propagation equations, we conclude that $C^2$ should include all the constraints, which is also confirmed numerically. By tuning the parameters, the lifetime of the simulations can be increased as 2-10 times as longer than those of the standard BSSN evolutions.

description: Isolated horizons that admit the Hopf bundle structure $H\rightarrow S_2$ are investigated, however the null direction is allowed not to be tangent to the bundle fibres. The geometry of such horizons is characterised by data set on a topological two-dimensional sphere, singular at its poles. The horizon equations induced by Einstein's equations are imposed. The existence of regular extremal horizons satisfying the vacuum (with cosmological constant) equation of extremality, obtained from singular solutions on the sphere is pointed out. All horizons (with assumed topology and in the generic case) satisfying the $Λ$ vacuum type D equation are derived. They are compared to the Killing horizons contained in the accelerated Kerr-NUT-(Anti) de Sitter spacetimes. Both families of horizons have the same dimension, but the problem of mutual correspondence needs to be better understood. If the cosmological constant takes special values determined by the other parameters the bundle fibers become tangent to the null direction. As an additional but also important result, spacetimes of the topology $H\times \mathbb{R}$ locally isometric to the accelerated Kerr-NUT-(Anti) de Sitter spacetimes are constructed for every value of the mass, Kerr, NUT parameters, the cosmological constant and the acceleration. When the acceleration parameter is not zero, the conical singularity can be removed whenever the NUT parameter does not vanish either.

description: Excerpts: Food aid and programs for special population groups are valuable. At best they are temporary measures, however. The ultimate solution to the problem of achieving improved diets lies in making good use of food resources, raising the agriculture of the less developed countries to a more productive level, and applying modern science and technology to effective conservation and use of food. Technical assistance on a broad front in Agriculture, nutrition, and home economics conducted both by international agencies and on a country-to-country basis is leading the world many steps along this road. Continuing programs, both short- and long-term, for reducing the disparities in food supplies and nutritional state between the more- and the less-developed regions of the world are the objective of FA0’s 1960-1965 Freedom-from-Hunger Campaign and other efforts to promote economic development. To this, we in USA are lending our wholehearted support. Through the sharing of our material abundance and even more through the sharing of our knowledge and experience in nutritional, food and agricultural sciences and technologies, we can help others help themselves to achieve both physical well-being and self-respect.

description: The topological properties of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model in the presence of nearest-neighbor interaction are investigated by means of a topological marker, generalized from a noninteracting one by utilizing the single-particle Green's function of the many-body ground state. We find that despite the marker not being perfectly quantized in the presence of interactions, it always remains finite in the topologically nontrivial phase while converging to zero in the trivial phase when approaching the thermodynamic limit, and hence correctly judges the topological phases in the presence of interactions. The marker also correctly captures the interaction-driven, second-order phase transitions between a topological phase and a Landau-ordered phase, which is a charge density wave order in our model with a local order parameter, as confirmed by the calculation of entanglement entropy and the many-body Zak phase. Our work thus points to the possibility of generalizing topological markers to interacting systems through Green's function, which may be feasible for topological insulators in any dimension and symmetry class.

The consideration is based on the O(alpha) and $O(alpha alpha_s) off-shell partonic matrix elements with virtual photon and Z boson exchange. The calculations include leptonic decays of Z bosons with full spin correlations as well as gamma - Z interference. The unintegrated parton densities in a proton are determined by the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription. Our numerical predictions are compared with the data taken by the D0, CDF and CMS collaborations at the Tevatron and LHC energies. Special attention is put on the specific angular distributions measured very recently by the CDF collaboration for the first time.

A Wowzer Type Lower Bound for the Strong Regularity Lemma

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: The regularity lemma of Szemeredi asserts that one can partition every graph into a bounded number of quasi-random bipartite graphs. In some applications however, one would like to have a strong control on how quasi-random these bipartite graphs are. Alon, Fischer, Krivelevich and Szegedy obtained a powerful variant of the regularity lemma, which allows one to have an arbitrary control on this measure of quasi-randomness. However, their proof only guaranteed to produce a partition where the number of parts is given by the Wowzer function, which is the iterated version of the Tower function. We show here that a bound of this type is unavoidable by constructing a graph H, with the property that even if one wants a very mild control on the quasi-randomness of a regular partition, then any such partition of H must have a number of parts given by a Wowzer-type function.

The regulation and function of viperin during rhinovirus infection

description: The airway epithelium is the primary site of rhinovirus replication and plays a pivotal role in orchestrating innate immune responses to respiratory viruses, including rhinovirus. Interfacing with inhaled material in the airway lumen, the airway epithelium experiences continuous onslaught from respiratory pathogens. To combat viral infection, cells of the airway epithelium express a range of pattern recognition receptors capable of recognizing diverse viral ligands. Detection of an infectious virus by one of these receptors rapidly upregulates an array of effector molecules, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, interferons and interferon stimulated genes. Viperin is one of the most highly upregulated interferon stimulated genes in rhinovirus infected airway epithelial cells. Viperin expression during viral infection has long been associated with direct antiviral effects across diverse viral infection and cell models, including in rhinovirus infected airway epithelial cells. Despite the long-standing knowledge that viperin expression helps to impedes rhinovirus replication in the airway epithelium, little is known about how it is upregulated in response to rhinoviruses or how viperin proceeds to impact airway epithelial cell biology during infection. In addition to confirming previously published findings demonstrating that viperin is induced in rhinovirus infected primary human airway epithelial cells and is dependent on viral replication, we also demonstrated induction of viperin in airway epithelial cells by interferons. We also highlight the importance of the type III interferon IL-29 as a potent inducer of viperin in the airway epithelium. Finally based on our findings we propose a novel feedback loop, according to this model detection of rhinoviruses by the cytosolic dsRNA receptor melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5), or IL-29 signalling, promotes IRF-1 mediated viperin transcription. Viperin then establishes a protein-protein interaction with MDA5 which results in enhanced MDA5 stability in RV infected cells. This leads to enhanced signalling through MDA5, as measured by increased CXCL10 gene expression and protein secretion. As we have also demonstrated that MDA5 signalling is involved in promoting viperin expression in response to RV we hypothesize that stabilization of MDA5 by viperin may also serves to amplify viperin production during infection.
Querido Diário': how an open source project is freeing official municipal records for 45 million people in Brasil (and counting!)

description: There are 5,570 cities and 26 states with the autonomy to design and implement policies in Brazil. Since there is no centralized place to look for the decision-making acts of these entities, the only reliable source of information is the official gazettes (or records), published in a closed and unstructured way in PDF files. The manual work of analyzing this mass of information is virtually impossible. To fill this data void, we created an infrastructure capable of collecting, processing, and openly making this information available. The "Querido Diario" ("Dear Diary" – a witty wordplay in reference to the official gazettes in Portuguese) MVP was launched more than a year ago and has been scaled and improved since then. With the help of a vibrant community, it has collected the entire time series of official diaries, creating a repository of more than 144,000 files, and started collecting them daily.

description: Functional sensibility is the capacity to perceive veridical sensory input at the fingertips. Sensibility is limited in the elderly due to regressive changes to mechanoreceptor density and morphology. It is these changes to mechanoreceptors that has been applied to sensibility monitoring instruments, with the focus of innovation on mobile devices. Contrary to traditional hand-held instruments, mobile devices have the unique quality to flexibly pair well-controlled vibration with validated psychophysical procedures. In this study, we evaluated a novel vibration-emitting smartphone application, the Vibratus App, as a mode of monitoring sensibility across ages. The peripheral nerve function of 40 neurologically healthy volunteers was measured using monofilaments, a 128-Hz tuning fork, the Vibratus App, and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Spearman correlation coefficients depicted the associative strength between hand-held measurements and age and sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude. Inter-rater reliability of human- versus computer-controlled instruments were assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Measurements taken with Vibratus App were found to significantly correlate with age (r (38) = 0.49, p = .001), and demonstrated a level of reliability (ICC = 0.57) that exceeded tuning fork testing (ICC = 0.51). The results of our study indicate that the Vibratus App may be a superior approach to measuring vibration sense when compared to traditional tuning fork testing, and sensitive to gradual changes in sensibility typical of the aging adult. The Vibratus App presents early evidence that quantitative, ubiquitous, and remote sensibility monitoring is achievable.

Production of charmonium $χ_{cJ}(2P)$ plus one $ω$ meson by $e^+e^-$ annihilation

description: Inspired by the recent observation of $e^+e^-\to ωX(3872)$ by the BESIII Collaboration, in this work we study the production of the charmonium $χ_{cJ}(2P)$ by $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We find that the $e^+e^-\toωχ_{c0}(2P)$ and $e^+e^-\to ωχ_{c2}(2P)$ have sizable production rates, when taking the cross section data from $e^+e^-\to ωX(3872)$ as the scaling point and treating the $X(3872)$ as the charmonium $χ_{c1}(2P)$. Considering that the dominant decay modes of $χ_{c0}$ and $χ_{c2}(2P)$ involve $D\bar{D}$ final states, we propose that $e^+e^-\to ωD\bar{D}$ is an ideal process to identify $χ_{c0}(2P)$ and $χ_{c2}(2P)$, which is similar to the situation that happens in the $D\bar{D}$ invariant mass spectrum of the $γγ\to D\bar{D}$ and $B^+\to D^+{D}^- K^+$ processes. With continuous accumulation of experimental data, these proposed production processes offer a promising avenue for exploration by the BESIII and Belle II collaborations.

The Measurement Problem Is a Feature, Not a Bug--Schematising the Observer and the Concept of an Open System on an Informational, or (Neo-)Bohrian, Approach

description: I flesh out the sense in which the informational approach to interpreting quantum mechanics, as defended by Pitowsky and Bub and lately by a number of other authors, is (neo-)Bohrian. I argue that on this approach, quantum mechanics represents what Bohr called a ``natural generalisation of the ordinary causal description'' in the sense that the idea (which philosophers of science like Stein have argued for on the grounds of practical and epistemic necessity) that understanding a theory as a theory of physics requires that one be able to ``schematise the observer'' within it is elevated in quantum mechanics to the level of a postulate in the sense that interpreting the outcome of a measurement interaction, as providing us with information about the world, requires as a matter of principle, the specification of a schematic representation of an observer in the form of a `Boolean frame' -- the Boolean algebra representing the yes-or-no questions associated with a given observable representative of a given experimental context. I argue that the approach's central concern is with the methodological question of how to assign physical properties to what one takes to be a system in a given experimental context, rather than the metaphysical question of what a given state vector represents independently of any context, and I show how the quantum generalisation of the concept of an open system may be used to assuage Einstein's complaint that the orthodox approach to quantum mechanics runs afoul of the supposedly fundamental methodological requirement to the effect that one must always be able, according to Einstein, to treat spatially separated systems as isolated from one another.

description: Modified gravity theories such as Einstein scalar Gauss Bonnet (EsGB) contain higher derivative terms in the spacetime curvature in their action, which results in modifications to the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints of the theory. In principle, such modifications may affect the principal part of the operator in the resulting elliptic equations, and so further complicate the already highly non-linear, coupled constraints that apply to the initial data in numerical relativity simulations of curved spacetimes. However, since these are effective field theories, we expect the additional curvature terms to be small, which motivates treating them simply as an additional source in the constraints, and iterating to find a solution to the full problem. In this work we implement and test a modification to the CTT/CTTK methods of solving the constraints for the case of the most general four derivative, parity invariant scalar-tensor theory, and show that solutions can be found in both asymptotically flat/black hole and periodic/cosmological spacetimes, even up to couplings of order unity in the theory. Such methods will allow for numerical investigations of a much broader class of initial data than has previously been possible in these theories, and should be straightforward to extend to similar models in the Horndeski class.

Nonlinear Bayesian estimation of centroid moment tensors using multiple seismic data sets in the Kiskatinaw seismic monitoring and mitigation area

description: Centroid moment tensor (CMT) parameters of earthquakes are routinely estimated to gain information on structures and regional tectonics. However, for small earthquakes (M<4) it is still challenging to determine CMTs due to the lack of high-quality waveform data. In this study, we propose to improve solutions for small earthquakes by incorporating multiple seismic data types in Bayesian joint inversion: polarities picked on broadband signals, amplitude spectra for intermediate frequency bands (0.2--2.0 Hz), and waveforms at low frequencies (0.05--0.2 Hz). Both measurement and theory errors are accounted for by iterative estimation of non-Toeplitz covariance matrices, allowing to objectively determine weights for the different data types in the joint parameter estimation. Validity and applicability of the method are demonstrated on simulation and field data. Results demonstrate that the combination of data, such as a single high quality waveform, a few amplitude spectra and many waveform polarities are able to resolve CMT parameters to comparable quality as if many high quality waveforms were available. Results of 10 induced events that occurred in northeastern British Columbia between January 2020 and February 2022 indicate predominant strike slip focal mechanisms with low non double-couple components. These events appear to be located at shallow depth with a short duration as expected for induced seismicity. These results are consistent with previous studies. Therefore, we learn that this method reduces the dependency of source inversion on high-quality waveforms and permits to resolve CMTs for earthquakes as small as ML 1.6.

La langue française et le peuple Akan du Ghana: un cas
Creators: name: Kpobi, Helene Esimebia
Publisher: name: Arts

Subjects: subject: Education--Language and Literature

description: Many countries have embraced the necessity to produce graduates with a fluency in more than one language in order to compete in the global economy. With globalization, knowing more than one language is no longer a choice but a requirement for businesses in today's global economy, and this provides many employment opportunities. Ghana has also recognised the importance of mastering other foreign languages including French in order to develop the human capital that drives the economy, as the country is surrounded by French speaking countries namely: Togo, Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. Nevertheless, the teaching/learning of the French language in the country poses certain challenges. One of which is the lack of interest in learning the language. This thesis therefore aims to identify the challenges Ghanaian students face in their study of the French language, which make them show less interest in the learning of the language, to instigate the causes of these challenges, and to propose solutions as well as new directions and innovations that will help change these students' attitudes about the importance of foreign language learning. The data for the study was collected from Akan third-year secondary school students and their teachers in form of questionnaires and interviews respectively. Our results validated the assumptions that the students’ geographical location, their mother tongue and their teachers’ way of teaching all have some negative effect on their study of the French language. In addition, the fact that most of these students are forced to learn the French language is precisely what makes them lose interest in it. Moreover, these students do not know the importance of the language to them and to the country at large, hence they display some lackadaisical behavior towards learning the language. All these things combined constitute what hinders the Akan students’ learning of the French language.
