description: This qualitative study explored the views of community college employers, faculty, administrators, and students on the importance of foundational skills, including literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills, in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs of study. Participants (N = 50) were recruited, semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Four themes were identified: 1) foundational skills are as important as the course of study; 2) the ability to communicate technical skills is crucial; 3) leadership and supervisory skills are valuable; and 4) employers contribute to the curriculum, producing graduates that industry needs. Our findings provide policy and practice recommendations, including the need to design curricula with strong components of literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills, integrating supervisory and leadership skills in classroom exercises, and engagement of employers in curriculum development and instruction. Producing graduates in STEM fields with skills that employers require is important for employee advancement and for future economic growth.

description: Introduction:� Predictive models have proliferated in the health system in recent years and have been used to predict both health services utilization and medical outcomes. Less is known, however, on how these models function and how they might adapt to different contexts. The purpose of the current study is to shed light on the inner workings of a large-scale predictive model deployed in 2 distinct populations, with a particular emphasis on adaptability issues. Methods:� We compared the performance and functioning of a predictive model of avoidable hospitalization in 2 very different populations: Medicaid and Medicare enrollees in Maryland. Specifically, we assessed characteristics of the risk scores from March 2022 for the 2 populations, the predictive ability of the scores, and the driving risk factors behind the scores. In addition, we created and assessed the performance of an ?unadapted? model by applying coefficients from the Medicare model to the Medicaid population. Results:� The model adapted to, and performed well in, both populations, despite demographic differences in these 2 groups. However, the most salient risk factors and their relative weightings differed, sometimes dramatically, across the 2 populations. The unadapted Medicaid model displayed poor performance relative to the adapted model. Conclusions:� Our findings speak to the need to ?peek behind the curtain? of predictive models that may be applied to different populations, and we caution that risk prediction is not ?one size fits all?: for optimal performance, models should be adapted to, and trained on, the target population.
New aspects of Doppler imaging in Sun-as-a-star observations

description: Birmingham Solar Oscillations Network (BiSON) instruments use resonant scattering spectrometers to make unresolved Doppler velocity observations of the Sun. Unresolved measurements are not homogenous across the solar disc and so the observed data do not represent a uniform average over the entire surface. The influence on the inhomogeneity of the solar rotation and limb darkening has been considered previously (Brookes et al. 1978a) and is well understood. Here we consider a further effect that originates from the instrumentation itself. The intensity of light observed from a particular region on the solar disc is dependent on the distance between that region on the image of the solar disc formed in the instrument and the detector. The majority of BiSON instruments have two detectors positioned on opposite sides of the image of the solar disc and the observations made by each detector are weighted towards differing regions of the disc. Therefore the visibility and amplitudes of the solar oscillations and the realization of the solar noise observed by each detector will differ. We find that the modelled bias is sensitive to many different parameters such as the width of solar absorption lines, the strength of the magnetic field in the resonant scattering spectrometer, the orientation of the Sun's rotation axis, the size of the image observed by the instrument and the optical depth in the vapour cell. We find that the modelled results best match the observations when the optical depth at the centre of the vapour cell is 0.55. The inhomogeneous weighting means that a `velocity offset' is introduced into unresolved Doppler velocity observations of the Sun, which varies with time, and so has an impact on the long-term stability of the observations.

description: In QCD at energies well below a heavy-quark threshold, the heavy-quark vector current can be represented via local operators made of the lighter quarks and of the gluon fields. We extract the leading perturbative matching coefficients for the two most important sets of operators from known results. As an application, we analytically determine the ${\rm O}(α_s^3)m_c^2/m_b^2$ effect of the bottom quark current on the $R(s)$ ratio below the bottom but above the charm threshold. For the low-energy representation of the charm quark current, the two most important operators are given by the total divergence of dimension-six gluonic operators. We argue that the charm magnetic moment of the nucleon is effectively measuring the forward matrix elements of these gluonic operators and predict the corresponding bottom magnetic moment. Similarly, the contribution of the charm current to $R(s\approx 1\,{\rm GeV}^2)$, which is associated with quark-disconnected diagrams, is dominantly determined by the decay constants of the $ω$ and $ϕ$ mesons with respect to the two gluonic operators.

Time domain determination of earthquake fault parameters from short-period P-waves
Creators: name: Somerville, Paul Graham
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Source parameters of two shallow earthquakes have been determined by the time-domain analysis of short-period teleseismic recordings. For each event, the effect of the receiver crust was deconvolved from a set of globally distributed recordings using the homomorphic method. The resulting seismograins were compared with the form of the elastic wave radiation computed from Savage's model of radially spreading rupture on a plane elliptical fault surface. This time-domain approach has permitted the determination of several kinematic parameters pertaining to the dynamics of rupture that are not ordinarily evaluated from spectral analysis. These parameters are rupture velocity, the direction of furthest rupture propagation, and the duration of a ramp dislocation time function which was prescribed to be the same everywhere on the fault surface. A general linear inverse scheme has been applied to investigate how well and in what manner the parameters of the source model are determined by the observations. This analysis yields best fitting models, the range of acceptable parameter values, and the distribution of information concerning specific parameters that is contained in specific observations. A consistent discrepancy between the observed and model seismograms during the first half-cycle of motion is attributed to the incorrect prescription of the dislocation time function. It is suggested that a space-dependent function determined theoretically by Kostrov in 1964 would tend to remove this discrepancy.

description: We report on a ballistic and fully tunable Josephson junction system consisting of two parallel ribbons of graphene in contact with superconducting MoRe. By electrostatic gating of the two individual graphene ribbons we gain control over the real space distribution of the superconducting current density, which can be continuously tuned between both ribbons. We extract the respective gate dependent spatial distributions of the real space current density by employing Fourier- and Hilbert transformations of the magnetic field induced modulation of the critical current. This approach is fast and does not rely on a symmetric current profile. It is therefore a universally applicable tool, potentially useful for carefully adjusting Josephson junctions.

description: Future cellular networks are expected to support new communication paradigms such as machine-type communication (MTC) services along with human-type communication (HTC) services. This requires base stations to serve a large number of devices in relatively short channel coherence intervals which renders allocation of orthogonal pilot sequence per-device approaches impractical. Furthermore, the stringent power constraints, place-and-play type connectivity and various data rate requirements of MTC devices make it impossible for the traditional cellular architecture to accommodate MTC and HTC services together. Massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MaMIMO) technology has the potential to allow the coexistence of HTC and MTC services, thanks to its inherent spatial multiplexing properties and low transmission power requirements. In this work, we investigate the performance of a single cell under a shared physical channel assumption for MTC and HTC services and propose a novel scheme for sharing the time-frequency resources. The analysis reveals that MaMIMO can significantly enhance the performance of such a setup and allow the inclusion of MTC services into the cellular networks without requiring additional resources.

description: Many studies on animal and human movement patterns report the existence of scaling laws and power-law distributions. Whereas a number of random walk models have been proposed to explain observations, in many situations individuals actually rely on mental maps to explore strongly heterogeneous environments. In this work we study a model of a deterministic walker, visiting sites randomly distributed on the plane and with varying weight or attractiveness. At each step, the walker minimizes a function that depends on the distance to the next unvisited target (cost) and on the weight of that target (gain). If the target weight distribution is a power-law, $p(k)\sim k^{-β}$, in some range of the exponent $β$, the foraging medium induces movements that are similar to Lévy flights and are characterized by non-trivial exponents. We explore variations of the choice rule in order to test the robustness of the model and argue that the addition of noise has a limited impact on the dynamics in strongly disordered media.

This is useful for lattice calculations involving disconnected loops or all-to-all propagators. It has significant advantages over perturbative subtraction methods. We compare unsubtracted, eigenspectrum and perturbative error bar results for the scalar operator on a small Wilson QCD matrix.

description: Repeat hospitalizations adversely impact the well-being of adults dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid in the United States. This study aimed to identify behavioral, cognitive, and functional characteristics associated with the risk of a repeat hospital episode (HE) among the statewide population of dually eligible adults in Maryland receiving long-term services and supports prior to an HE between July 2018 and May 2020. The odds of experiencing a repeat HE within 30 days after an initial HE were positively associated with reporting difficulty with hearing (adjusted odds ratio, AOR: 1.10 [95% confidence interval: 1.02?1.19]), being easily distractible (AOR: 1.09 [1.00?1.18]), being self-injurious (AOR: 1.33 [1.09?1.63]), and exhibiting verbal abuse (AOR: 1.15 [1.02?1.30]). Conversely, displaying inappropriate public behavior (AOR: 0.62 [0.42?0.92]) and being dependent for eating (AOR: 0.91 [0.83?0.99]) or bathing (AOR: 0.79 [0.67?0.92]) were associated with reduced odds of a repeat HE. We also observed differences in the magnitude and direction of these associations among adults 65 years of age or older relative to younger counterparts.

description: Despite the increasing number of racially and ethnically minoritized (REM) individuals earning PhDs and the substantial investment in diversity initiatives within higher education, the relative lack of diversity among faculty in tenure-track positions reveals a persistent systemic challenge. This study used an adaptation of the Community Readiness Tool to evaluate readiness for faculty diversification efforts in five biomedical departments. Interviews with 31 key informants were transcribed and coded manually and using NVIVO 12 in order to assign scores to each department in the six domains of readiness. The results revealed no meaningful differences in overall scores across institutional types, but did show differences within specific domains of readiness. These findings indicate that readiness is multi-faceted and academic departments can benefit by identifying priority areas in need of additional faculty buy-in and resources to enhance the success of diversification efforts.

description: Using the seesaw mechanism, we construct a model for the light-neutrino Majorana mass matrix which yields trimaximal lepton mixing together with maximal CP violation and maximal atmospheric-neutrino mixing. We demonstrate that, in our model, the light-neutrino mass matrix retains its form under the one-loop renormalization-group evolution. With our neutrino mass matrix, the absolute neutrino mass scale is a function of |U_e3| and of the atmospheric mass-squared difference. We study the effective mass in neutrinoless double beta-decay as a function of |U_e3|, showing that it contains a fourfold ambiguity.

description: We analyze the entanglement of a Schwinger pair created by a time-dependent pulse. In the semi-classical approximation, the pair creation by a pulse of external electric field is captured by a periodic worldline instanton. At strong gauge coupling, the gauge-gravity dual worldsheet instanton exhibits a falling wormhole in AdS. We identify the tunneling time at the boundary with the inverse Unruh temperature, and derive the pertinent entanglement entropy between the created pair using thermodynamics. The entanglement entropy is enhanced by the sub-barrier tunneling process, and partly depleted by the radiation in the post-barrier process.

description: Supercritical accretion flows inevitably produce radiation-pressure driven outflows, which will Compton up-scatter soft photons from the underlying accretion flow, thereby making hard emission. We perform two dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations of supercritical accretion flows and outflows, incorporating such Compton scattering effects, and demonstrate that there appears a new hard spectral state at higher photon luminosities than that of the slim-disk state. In this state, as the photon luminosity increases, the photon index decreases and the fraction of the hard emission increases. The Compton $y$-parameter is of the order of unity (and thus the photon index will be $\sim 2$) when the apparent photon luminosity is ${\sim}30L_{\rm E}$ (with $L_{\rm E}$ being the Eddington luminosity) for nearly face-on sources. This explains the observed spectral hardening of the ULX NGC1313 X-2 in its brightening phase and thus supports the model of supercritical accretion onto stellar mass black holes in this ULX.

description: The Use Cases have been developed in Deliverable 2.1 using a twofold approach: identifying legislative and policy requirements at the EU and Italian level in the water and health domains and gathering requirements through a co-creation programme involving interested stakeholders and users. Three Use Cases have been identified: 1. Contaminants in marine waters: Linking data on bioaccumulation and human exposure to chemicals and biological contaminants in marine waters; ingestion of contaminated fish products; and airborne exposure (e.g. Ostreopsis Ovata). 2. Water for human consumption: Linking data on drinking water quality, measured by compliance with new EU microbiological, chemical and physical parameters, with data on water-related diseases and pathogens. 3. Extreme events: Linking data on floods, sea storms, storm surges, coastal floods and drought to human health, alteration of the hydrological cycle, agriculture and fisheries industries. For each use case, the requirements have been indicated in terms of desirable datasets necessary for its implementation. Likewise, the deliverable has included the datasets published at that time, or in the process of being published, which potentially meet the requirements of each use case. In the present deliverable 2.2 the list of datasets has been subject to an assessment in terms of legal, privacy and data quality, from which datasets that do not meet the minimum requirements have been excluded. The document outlines the final datasets list for the implementation of the project’s Use Cases and that will be used for modelling the knowledge graph.

We prove analytically that massive MIMO always outperforms NOMA in i.i.d.~Rayleigh fading channels, if a sufficient number of antennas are used at the base stations. The simulation results show that the crossing point occurs already when having 20-30 antennas, which is far less than what is considered for the next generation cellular networks.

description: We analyse the conditional states in which one part of a split spin-squeezed state is left, upon performing a collective spin measurement on the other part. For appropriate measurement directions and outcomes, we see the possibility of obtaining states with high quantum Fisher information, even reaching the Heisenberg limit. This allows us to propose a metrological protocol that can outperform standard approaches, for example in a situation where the number of particles in the probe is bounded. The robustness of this protocol is investigated by considering realistic forms of noise present in cold-atom experiments, such as particle number fluctuations and imperfect detection. Ultimately, we show how this measurement-based state preparation approach can allow for the conditional (\ie heralded) preparation of spin Schrödinger's cat states even when the initial state before splitting is only mildly squeezed.

description: A unidirectional "density" wave order in an otherwise isotropic environment is guaranteed to display a smecticlike Goldstone mode. Examples of such "soft" states include conventional smectic liquid crystals, putative Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superfluids, and helical states of frustrated bosons and spins. Here we develop generalized spin-smectic $σ$-models that break $O(N)$ internal symmetry in addition to the $d$-dimensional rotational and uniaxial translational symmetries. We explore long-wavelength properties of such strongly fluctuating states, show that they are characterized by a "double-power-law" static structure peak, and analyze their asymptotic symmetry-reduced crossover to conventional low-energy modes. We also present the associated Ginzburg-Landau theory, describing phase transition into such spin-smectic states, and discuss experimental realization of such models.

Year: 2010

description: The area mapped includes two ultramafites of the alpine type, emplaced in, and with inclusions of, rocks of the Cache Creek Group. Northwest lies the Mitchell Patholith, a Late Jurassic (?) intrusion of diorite to granite. The argillite, chert, greenstone, and limestone of the Cache Creek Group are strongly to isoclinally folded about north-northeasterly trending axes. They have mineral assemblages characteristic of the middle to upper green-schist facies. The ultramafic rocks are fractured and sheared in a north-northeasterly direction, and may be folded. The overall shape of the Mitchell Mountains Ultramafite is not known. The Mitchell Mountains Ultramafite has three metamorphic zones, parallel to the edge of the Mitchell Patholith. They consist of serpentinite, talc-olivine rock, and olivine-enstatite-anthophyllite rock. The Goat Mountain Ultramafite consists mostly of serpentinate, The observed mineral assemblages may be explained in terms of the system CaO-MgO-SiO₂-H₂O-CO₂. At an assumed pressure of 2000 bars, the temperature during metamorphism ranged from 380°C at the eastern edge of the Mitchell Mountains Ultramafite, to almost 700° at the western edge. This contact metamorphism was caused by the Mitchell Patholith.

description: Short GRBs are commonly thought to originate from the merging of double compact object binaries but direct evidence for this scenario is still missing. Optical observations of short GRBs allow us to measure redshifts, firmly identify host galaxies, characterize their properties, and accurately localize GRBs within them. Multiwavelength observations of GRB afterglows provide useful information on the emission mechanisms at work. These are all key issues that allow one to discriminate among different models of these elusive events. We carried out photometric observations of the short/hard GRB 051227, GRB 061006, and GRB 071227 with the ESO-VLT starting from several hours after the explosion down to the host galaxy level several days later. For GRB 061006 and GRB 071227 we also obtained spectroscopic observations of the host galaxy. We compared the results obtained from our optical observations with the available X-ray data of these bursts. For all the three above bursts, we discovered optical afterglows and firmly identified their host galaxies. About half a day after the burst, the optical afterglows of GRB 051227 and GRB 061006 present a decay significatly steeper than in the X-rays. In the case of GRB 051227, the optical decay is so steep that it likely indicates different emission mechanisms in the two wavelengths ranges. The three hosts are blue, star forming galaxies at moderate redshifts and with metallicities comparable to the Solar one. The projected offsets of the optical afterglows from their host galaxies centers span a wide range, but all afterglows lie within the light of their hosts and present evidence for local absorption in their X-ray spectra. We discuss our findings in light of the current models of short GRB progenitors.

description: Contemporary French poet Yves Bonnefoy has always been attracted by English poetry, especially by Shakespeare’s work. Translating Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets has been a fundamental experience for him. The contact with a different culture, a different language and a different sort of poetry has been an important moment in his poetic experience. The dialogue between the French and the Elizabethan poet, which started in the 1950s, hasn't stopped yet and it offers some interesting perspectives to study Bonnefoy's work from a new point of view.
Translation – which is first of all a poetic experience to him – is in fact the chance to get in touch with somebody else's poetry and to establish a dialogue with his poetic universe. Such a dialogue requires on the one hand an ‘ethic’ attitude on the translator's part, that is an attentive listening and a deep understanding of the original text. However, Bonnefoy has to create a new ‘poetic’ text in his own language. This is why the ‘seeds’ of his own poetry are also present in his translated texts, in which it is possible to clearly distinguish both the presence of the French poet’s own voice and his attempt to open his ‘speech’ to the specific quality of the Shakespearean poetry.
On the other hand, such a deep contact with Shakespeare's work has changed the French poet, contributing to the development and maturity of his own poetry. Indeed, the Elizabethan poet is present in his work in different ways, in his critical essays as well as in his poems. Against this background, the aim of the present study is to define the complex dialogic forms and the osmotic relationships between the poetic experience and the experience of translation, which are considered two different moments of the same ontological research by the French poet.

description: Leaky radiation microscopy (LRM) is used to directly image the surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE). When compared with the prism based set-up commonly used in SPCE research, LRM has the advantages of directly giving out the emitting angle without scanning and the image of generated surface plasmons polaritons (SPPs) propagation, which help to understand the optical process of SPCE. LRM also can give out clearer SPCE image than that by prism-based set-up. Based on the LRM, we find that the SPCE pattern and propagation of SPPs can be modified by the shape of samples fabricated on the thin metallic films.

description: Topological signals are dynamical variables not only defined on nodes but also on links of a network that are gaining significant attention in non-linear dynamics and topology and have important applications in brain dynamics. Here we show that topological signals on nodes and links of a network can generate dynamical patterns when coupled together. In particular, dynamical patterns require at least three topological signals, here taken to be two node signals and one link signal. In order to couple these signals, we formulate the 3-way topological Dirac operator that generalizes previous definitions of the 2-way and 4-way topological Dirac operators. We characterize the spectral properties of the 3-way Dirac operator and we investigate the dynamical properties of the resulting Turing and Dirac induced patterns. Here we emphasize the distinct dynamical properties of the Dirac induced patterns which involve topological signals only coupled by the 3-way topological Dirac operator in absence of the Hodge-Laplacian coupling. While the observed Turing patterns generalize the Turing patterns typically investigated on networks, the Dirac induced patterns have no equivalence within the framework of node based Turing patterns. These results open new scenarios in the study of Turing patterns with possible application to neuroscience and more generally to the study of emergent patterns in complex systems.
GIORNALISMO E GENOCIDIO. Discorsi, interpretazioni e memoria del caso Rwanda sulla stampa italiana

description: Cosa sappiamo del Genocidio? Cosa sappiamo del Rwanda? In che termini il giornalismo è elemento in comune di entrambi? La questione si fa più complicata in quanto vorremmo aggiungere a queste riflessioni il nodo della memoria. Che memoria abbiamo del Genocidio? Che memoria abbiamo del Rwanda? In che modo il giornalismo costruisce memoria? In questa tesi, abbiamo provato a rispondere a queste domande attraverso gli strumenti della semiotica del discorso e della cultura. Nella prima parte della ricerca abbiamo affrontato la nascita e l'affermazione della categoria di genocidio, l'invenzione e il Genocidio del Rwanda , indicando proposte per definire una possibile semiotica del genocidio. Nella seconda parte si è,invece, scesi nel particolare del discorso giornalistico, definendo i nodi teorici utili per mettere in luce i legami tra giornalismo e memoria e procedendo alle analisi della stampa italiana sul genocidio rwandese. 
Le conclusioni a cui si è giunti sono, rispetto alla costruzione giornalistica della realtà, che la stampa italiana ha ridotto quella complessità che ha caratterizzato ciò che abbiamo chiamato la biografia discorsiva del Rwanda. Questa stratificazione discorsiva viene risolta, o meglio, tradotta in enunciati che richiamano un odio tribale ancestrale, come se il Genocidio, laddove ne venisse descritta la pianificazione, non fosse altro che una conseguenza naturale di questo odio. Rispetto al rapporto tra memoria e giornalismo, abbiamo visto che è interrogabile rispetto alle dinamiche della cultura: si tratta, quindi, di considerare il ruolo di mediazione dei testi e la loro interpretazione. Ciò chiama in causa problemi di selezione e filtraggio, di inclusione ed esclusione, negoziazione di saperi condivisi, all’interno del problema più ampio della produzione del discorso e della cooperazione interpretativa.
The giant mascot ultramafite and its related ores

description: The Giant Mascot Ultramafite is on the southeastern flank of the Coast Crystall ine Belt 100 miles east of Vancouver, B.C. It is roughly elliptical (1 x 2 mi.), crudely zoned ranging from peridotite through pyroxenite and horn- blende-pyroxenite to marginal hornblendite. It is enclosed in dioritic rocks of the Spuzzum Intrusions. Twenty-eight pipe-like orebodies within the ultramafite have been mined for their massive Ni-Cu ores. Studies on the 3050 level cross-cut show that silicates and sulfides in pyroxenites differ in composition from those in perldotites. Furthermore, pent- landite from orebodies differs in composition from accessory pentlandite in ultrabasic rocks. K-Ar dating yields minimum ages for orebodies and ultramafite ranging from 104 m.y. to 119 m.y, Hornblendite dykes, the youngest rocks in the Eiine are dated at 95 m.y. K-Ar ages of Spuzzum Diorite near the mine and several miles to the south are 89 m.y, Tonalite, a border phase of the Spuzzum Intrusions, yields a hornblende age of 85 m.y. and a biotite age of 79 m.y., consistent with earlier investigations. Temperatures calculated from 15 coexisting clino- and orthopyroxene pairs from the 3050 level cross-cut average 990°C for equilibration of these silicates. Distribution coefficients (mean K[sub D] = 0.738) for these silicates suggest a magmatic origin. The Climax and Chinaman orebodies on the 3050 level cross-cut are steeply plunging pipe-like, bodies with higher grade sections concentrated in the trough or footwall. They are found at peridotite-pyroxenite contacts and appear spatially related to norite. It is concluded that the Giant Mascot Ultramafite originated by cliapiric re-emplacement of crudely stratiform crystal mushes and sulfide melts from a differentiating sub-volcanic magma chamber, possibly an early phase of Spuzzum magmatic activity. This material was subsequently engulfed by rising Spuzzum dioritic magmas which superimposed a hornblendite rim on the ultramafite.

description: We present a general argument which suggests that the Bartels-Lipatov-Vacca Odderon intercept should be equal to one to all orders in the perturbation theory. The argument is based on the validity of the so called omega-expansion in the high energy limit. It can be further supported by the analogous pattern observed in the case of the anomalous dimensions which is a consequence of the momentum sum rule. In addition, we conjecture that the BFKL kernel should satisfy the transverse momentum sum rule. Finally, it is shown that the higher order kinematical effects do not change the BLV Odderon intercept.
