Subjects: Digital learning, Language Acquisition, Technology.

description: Abstract 
This research explores the dynamics of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) users' engagement in informal digital learning among Indonesian workers living and working abroad. The study delves into the multifaceted landscape of informal English language acquisition facilitated by digital platforms, shedding light on the motivations, preferences, and challenges faced by this specific demographic. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative data, this investigation seeks to answer key questions regarding the utilization of digital resources, social media, language exchange platforms, and other informal learning tools by Indonesian workers overseas. It aims to understand how these individuals navigate their linguistic journey, adapt to varying learning environments, and harness technology-driven opportunities for improving their English proficiency. The findings of this study are expected to contribute valuable insights to the fields of language education and migration studies, offering a comprehensive understanding of how EFL users from non-English-speaking backgrounds leverage digital resources to enhance their language skills in informal settings. Ultimately, the research strives to inform the development of more effective language learning support systems for this unique demographic, addressing their specific needs and aspirations in the context of English language acquisition.

description: Context. The supermassive black hole, Sagittarius (Sgr) A*, in the centre of our Galaxy has the largest angular size in the sky among all astrophysical black holes. Its shadow, assuming no rotation, spans ~ 50 microarcsec. Resolving such dimensions has long been out of reach for astronomical instruments until a new generation of interferometers being operational during this decade. Of particular interest is the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) with resolution ~ 20 microarcsec in the millimeter-wavelength range 0.87 mm - 1.3 mm. Aims. We investigate the ability of the fully general relativistic Komissarov (2006) analytical magnetized torus model to account for observable constraints at Sgr A* in the centimeter and millimeter domains. The impact of the magnetic field geometry on the observables is also studied. Methods. We calculate ray-traced centimeter- and millimeter-wavelength synchrotron spectra and images of a magnetized accretion torus surrounding the central black hole in Sgr A*. We assume stationarity, axial symmetry, constant specific angular momentum and polytropic equation of state. A hybrid population of thermal and non-thermal electrons is considered. Results. We show that the torus model is capable of reproducing spectral constraints in the millimeter domain, and in particular in the observable domain of the EHT. However, the torus model is not yet able to fit the centimeter spectrum. 1.3 mm images at high inclinations are in agreement with observable constraints. Conclusions. The ability of the torus model to account for observations of Sgr A* in the millimeter domain is interesting in the perspective of the future EHT. Such an analytical model allows very fast computations. It will thus be a suitable test bed for investigating large domains of physical parameters, as well as non-black-hole compact object candidates and alternative theories of gravity.

description: We measure Redshift-Space Distortions (RSD) in the two-point correlation function of a sample of $63,163$ spectroscopically identified galaxies with $z < 0.2$, an epoch where there are currently only limited measurements, from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 Main Galaxy Sample. Our sample, which we denote MGS, covers 6,813 deg$^2$ with an effective redshift $z_{eff}=0.15$ and is described in our companion paper (Paper I), which concentrates on BAO measurements. In order to validate the fitting methods used in both papers, and derive errors, we create and analyse 1000 mock catalogues using a new algorithm called PICOLA to generate accurate dark matter fields. Haloes are then selected using a friends-of-friends algorithm, and populated with galaxies using a Halo-Occupation Distribution fitted to the data. Using errors derived from these mocks, we fit a model to the monopole and quadrupole moments of the MGS correlation function. If we assume no Alcock-Paczynski (AP) effect (valid at $z=0.15$ for any smooth model of the expansion history), we measure the amplitude of the velocity field, $fσ_{8}$, at $z=0.15$ to be $0.49_{-0.14}^{+0.15}$. We also measure $fσ_{8}$ including the AP effect. This latter measurement can be freely combined with recent Cosmic Microwave Background results to constrain the growth index of fluctuations, $γ$. Assuming a background $Λ$CDM cosmology and combining with current Baryon Acoustic Oscillation data we find $γ= 0.64 \pm 0.09$, which is consistent with the prediction of General Relativity ($γ\approx 0.55$), though with a slight preference for higher $γ$ and hence models with weaker gravitational interactions.

description: We introduce a family of domains --- which we call the $μ_{1,n}$-quotients --- associated with an aspect of $μ$-synthesis. We show that the natural association that the symmetrized polydisc has with the corresponding spectral unit ball is also exhibited by the $μ_{1,n}$-quotient and its associated unit "$μ_E$-ball". Here, $μ_E$ is the structured singular value for the case $E = \{[w]\oplus(z I_{n-1})\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times n}: z,w\in \mathbb{C}\}$, n = 2, 3, 4,... Specifically: we show that, for such an $E$, the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem with matricial data in a unit "$μ_E$-ball", and in general position in a precise sense, is equivalent to a Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem for the associated $μ_{1,n}$-quotient. Along the way, we present some characterizations for the $μ_{1,n}$-quotients.

Die Probanden wurden bei dieser Arbeit in Gruppen eingeteilt welche die Fettleberausprägung unverändert oder verschlechtert und verbessert, (also nach der Intervention die Fettleberausprägung von nein oder mäßig verbessert) betrifft. Bei der verbesserten Gruppe ist die Kalorienzufuhr vorher 1834 kcal und die Differenz ist -488 kcal, die verschlechterte Gruppe hat vorher 2240 kcal und die Differenz ist -622 kcal .Bei Gesamtfettaufnahme vor der Intervention, bei der Gruppe der verbesserten 71 g im Vergleich zur Differenz -24g und bei den verschlechterten 90 g im Vergleich zur Differenz -30g. Bei der Gruppe verbessert sind die Stunden Bewegung pro Woche 4,28 im Vergleich zur Differenz +0,9 Stunden, und bei der Gruppe verschlechtert vorher 3,6 und im Vergleich zur Differenz +2 Stunden. Es zeigt sich, dass eigentlich die verschlechtere Gruppe am Anfang weniger Stunden Bewegung gemacht hat, aber gegen Ende sich mehr verbessert hat als die andere Gruppe. Beim Stepper bei der Gruppe verbessert waren es zunächst 53 Wdh./min. dann die Differenz + 7 Wdh./min. Bei der Gruppe verschlechtert waren es 48 Wdh./min. und die Differenz +9,1 Wdh.. Durch die niedrige Probandenanzahl und hohe Standardabweichung kommt es zu fast keiner statistischen Signifikanz außer bei Stunden Bewegung pro Woche im Vergleich vorher zu der Differenz (verschlechtert p=0,003; verbessert p=0,002) Für die Public Health Versorgung ist es wichtig, so früh wie möglich die Kinder bei Übergewicht zu warnen.

description: Most schemes of complementary currencies developed in the last 50years are based on the "money as a means of exchange"- concept, whichmeans exchange of individual agents based on their individual needsand offers. The individual person or the individual company is anactor in a network and by establishing a market it is possible toexchange goods and services. Mutual Credit systems LETS or Timebankse.g. do support mostly this market case and many of them limit commonactivities to the sole operation of the system itself. Therefore,community currencies today are often currencies operating within acommunity but not necessary for the community. Interestingly the caseof a commons is mostly not recognized as a completely different kindof exchange where needs of a whole group have to be satisfied throughoffers of individuals and offers of the whole (commons) have to beshared justly among the individual members. Such an exchange asks fordifferent features from a community currency. This was the startingpoint of a project in Zurich, Switzerland to develop a more suitableand effective currency. The resulting new currency model, calleddistrict currency is proposed and analysed in this paper. The districtcurrency is therefore an advanced currency type, which is designedupon the commons idea. It is the needs and tasks of the community, thepublic (community) goods and common tasks based on the commons, whichare the core and drivers of the currency. As a secondary element thetraditional individual market-based system complements this commonslayer and strengthen its impact. Therefore, it could be seen as a twotiers model.The paper describes basics, premises and functions of the ideaincluding some historical background and more specifically the case ofWörgel in Austria which has some interesting aspects have that stillnot widely taken into consideration. The main features of thedistrict currency model are including the intended and controllablecirculation, the democratic decision of the spending and budgeting andthe commons-based value system. The currency was developed along acase study in a housing co-operative in Zurich. Experiences with theplanning district-currency-game give some important hints for thefeasibility and the functioning of such an improved currency model andthe open questions remaining to be answered. The development of thismodel has been a long-term process driven through empirical researchand action and the goal of the paper is to engage more researchers andpractitioners to contribute towards the needed theoretical foundationand feasibility studies.

description: The purely electroweak (EW) cross section for the production of two jets in association with a Z boson, in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, is measured using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. The electroweak cross section for the lljj final state (with l = e or mu and j representing the quarks produced in the hard interaction) in the kinematic region defined by M[ll] > 50 GeV, M[jj] > 120 GeV, transverse momentum pt[j] > 25 GeV, and pseudorapidity abs(eta[j]) < 5, is found to be sigma[EW](lljj) = 174 +/- 15 (stat) +/- 40 (syst) fb, in agreement with the standard model prediction. The associated jet activity of the selected events is studied, in particular in a signal-enriched region of phase space, and the measurements are found to be in agreement with QCD predictions.

description: The dimer model is an exactly solvable model of planar statistical mechanics. In its critical phase, various aspects of its scaling limit are known to be described by the Gaussian free field. For periodic graphs, criticality is an algebraic condition on the spectral curve of the model, determined by the edge weights; isoradial graphs provide another class of critical dimer models, in which the edge weights are determined by the local geometry. In the present article, we consider another class of graphs: general Temperleyan graphs, i.e. graphs arising in the (generalized) Temperley bijection between spanning trees and dimer models. Building in particular on Forman's formula and representations of Laplacian determinants in terms of Poisson operators, and under a minimal assumption - viz. that the underlying random walk converges to Brownian motion - we show that the natural topological observable on macroscopic tori converges in law to its universal limit, i.e. the law of the periods of the dimer height function converges to that of the periods of a compactified free field.

description: We investigate the evolution of stellar population gradients from $z=2$ to $z=0$ in massive galaxies at large radii ($r > 2R_{\mathrm{eff}}$) using ten cosmological zoom simulations of halos with $6 \times 10^{12} M_{\odot} < M_{\mathrm{halo}} < 2 \times 10^{13}M_{\odot}$. The simulations follow metal cooling and enrichment from SNII, SNIa and AGB winds. We explore the differential impact of an empirical model for galactic winds that reproduces the mass-metallicity relation and its evolution with redshift. At larger radii the galaxies, for both models, become more dominated by stars accreted from satellite galaxies in major and minor mergers. In the wind model, fewer stars are accreted, but they are significantly more metal poor resulting in steep global metallicity ($\langle \nabla Z_{\mathrm{stars}} \rangle= -0.35$ dex/dex) and color (e.g. $\langle \nabla g-r \rangle = -0.13$ dex/dex) gradients in agreement with observations. In contrast, colour and metallicity gradients of the models without winds are inconsistent with observations. Age gradients are in general mildly positive at $z=0$ ($\langle \nabla Age_{\mathrm{stars}} \rangle= 0.04$ dex/dex) with significant differences between the models at higher redshift. We demonstrate that for the wind model, stellar accretion is steepening existing in-situ metallicity gradients by about 0.2 dex by the present day and helps to match observed gradients of massive early-type galaxies at large radii. Colour and metallicity gradients are significantly steeper for systems which have accreted stars in minor mergers, while galaxies with major mergers have relatively flat gradients, confirming previous results. This study highlights the importance of stellar accretion for stellar population properties of massive galaxies at large radii, which can provide important constraints for formation models.

description: A fast neutron spectrometer consisting of segmented plastic scintillator and He-3 proportional counters was constructed for the measurement of neutrons in the energy range 1 MeV to 200 MeV. We discuss its design, principles of operation, and the method of analysis. The detector is capable of observing very low neutron fluxes in the presence of ambient gamma background and does not require scintillator pulseshape discrimination. The spectrometer was characterized for its energy response in fast neutron fields of 2.5 MeV and 14 MeV, and the results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations. Measurements of the fast neutron flux and energy response at 120 m above sea-level (39.130 deg. N, 77.218 deg. W) and at a depth of 560 m in a limestone mine are presented. Finally, the design of a spectrometer with improved sensitivity and energy resolution is discussed.

description: In this note, using entirely algebraic or elementary methods, we determine a new asymptotic lower bound for the number of odd values of one of the most important modular functions in number theory, the Klein $j$-function. Namely, we show that the number of integers $n\le x$ such that the Klein $j$-function --- or equivalently, the cubic partition function --- is odd is at least of the order of $$\frac{\sqrt{x} \log \log x}{\log x},$$ for $x$ large. This improves recent results of Berndt-Yee-Zaharescu and Chen-Lin, and approaches significantly the best lower bound currently known for the ordinary partition function, obtained using the theory of modular forms. Unlike many works in this area, our techniques to show the above result, that have in part been inspired by some recent ideas of P. Monsky on quadratic representations, do not involve the use of modular forms. Then, in the second part of the article, we show how to employ modular forms in order to slightly refine our bound. In fact, our brief argument, which combines a recent result of J.-L. Nicolas and J.-P. Serre with a classical theorem of J.-P. Serre on the asymptotics of the Fourier coefficients of certain level 1 modular forms, will more generally apply to provide a lower bound for the number of odd values of any positive power of the generating function of the partition function.

description: Cyclic lattices are sublattices of $\mathbb Z^N$ that are preserved under the rotational shift operator. Cyclic lattices were introduced by D.~Micciancio and their properties were studied in the recent years by several authors due to their importance in cryptography. In particular, Peikert and Rosen showed that on cyclic lattices in prime dimensions, the shortest independent vectors problem SIVP reduces to the shortest vector problem SVP with a particularly small loss in approximation factor, as compared to general lattices. In this paper, we further investigate geometric properties of cyclic lattices. Our main result is a counting estimate for the number of well-rounded cyclic lattices, indicating that well-rounded lattices are more common among cyclic lattices than generically. We also show that SVP is equivalent to SIVP on a positive proportion of Minkowskian well-rounded cyclic lattices in every dimension. As an example, we demonstrate an explicit construction of a family of such lattices on which this equivalence holds. To conclude, we introduce a class of sublattices of $\mathbb Z^N$ closed under the action of subgroups of the permutation group $S_N$, which are a natural generalization of cyclic lattices, and show that our results extend to all such lattices closed under the action of any $N$-cycle.

Our analysis of the oscillation pattern underscores the key role played by the Rashba spin-orbit interaction brought about by the breaking of inversion symmetry, as well as the dominant contribution of the heavy $d_{xz}$/$d_{yz}$ orbitals on electrical transport. We furthermore bring into light the complex evolution of the oscillations with the carrier density, which is tuned by the field effect.

The present approach is based on the statistical information of lattice. Through first-principles-based simulation, we find that the present method not only evaluates configurational free energy accurately in disorder states above critical temperature but also clarify importance of lattice to determine configurational free energy at high temperature.

title: Minimalismus und Kasus in bairischen und alemannischen Lokalia und Direktionalia
Creators: name: Geiger, Daniel
Year: 2021

description: Das Thema der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist die Herleitung bairischer und alemannischer Lokalia und Direktionalia auf Basis von Theorien des Minimalismus, insbesondere der Kasustheorie. Ich argumentiere dafür, dass sich die Herleitungsmuster dieser Strukturen im Bairischen und Alemannischen von jenen im Standarddeutschen in mehreren Punkten unterscheidet. Zur Bearbeitung der Thematik habe ich bestehende minimalistische Arbeiten (auch in direktem Zusammenhang mit Lokalia und Direktionalia) unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Kasustheorie herangezogen und auf deren Basis eigene Derivationsmuster entwickelt. Diese eigenständige Analyse basiert dabei besonders auf einer bestehenden Analyse der Derivation von lokalen und direktionalen PPs im Standarddeutschen, welche ebenfalls in einem engen Zusammenhang mit der minimalistischen Kasustheorie steht. Ich konnte aus meinen Ausführungen die Schlussfolgerung ziehen, dass die Kasustheorie gemeinsam mit der Kongruenzrelation, welche ein im Bairischen und Alemannischen nahezu obligatorisches Präpositionaladverb (P-Adverb) wie auffi/uffi ,hinauf‘, oben/(d)obe ,oben‘ oder dran/ani/(d)anne ,dran‘ mit der spatialen Präposition eingehen kann, im Zuge der Derivation einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Identifizierung der lokalen oder direktionalen Lesart sowie des Kasus (Dativ oder Akkusativ) der Orts- oder Richtungsangabe leistet.

description: The diffusion of energy that is locally deposited into two-dimensional electron gases by Joule heating generates transverse voltages across devices with broken symmetry. For mesoscopic structures characterized by device dimensions comparable to the energy diffusion length, the resulting thermopower strongly depends on details of the potential profile defined by electric gates. We discuss these mesoscopic features within a diffusion thermopower model and propose schemes to measure the energy diffusion length and its dependence on gate voltage.

description: We study the temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility of a strained graphene quantum dot by using the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method. Within the Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice, our unbiased numerical results show that a relative small interaction $U$ may lead to a edge ferromagnetic like behavior in the strained graphene quantum dot, and a possible room temperature transition is suggested. Around half filling, the ferromagnetic fluctuations at the zigzag edge is strengthened both markedly by the on-site Coulomb interaction and the strain, especially in low temperature region. The resultant strongly enhanced ferromagnetic like behavior may be important for the development of many applications.

description: We revisit here the problem of the collective non-equilibrium dynamics of a classical statistical system at a critical point and in the presence of surfaces. The effects of breaking separately space- and time-translational invariance are well understood, hence we focus here on the emergence of a non-trivial interplay between them. For this purpose, we consider a semi-infinite model with $O(n)$-symmetry and purely dissipative dynamics which is prepared in a disordered state and then suddenly quenched to its critical temperature. We determine the short-distance behaviour of its response function within a perturbative approach which does not rely on any a priori assumption on the scaling form of this quantity.

description: In a series of four papers we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every $α>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $(\frac12+α)n$ vertices of degree at least $(1+α)k$ contains each tree $T$ of order $k$ as a subgraph. The method to prove our result follows a strategy similar to approaches that employ the Szemerédi regularity lemma: we decompose the graph $G$, find a suitable combinatorial structure inside the decomposition, and then embed the tree $T$ into $G$ using this structure. Since for sparse graphs $G$, the decomposition given by the regularity lemma is not helpful, we use a more general decomposition technique. We show that each graph can be decomposed into vertices of huge degree, regular pairs (in the sense of the regularity lemma), and two other objects each exhibiting certain expansion properties. In this paper, we introduce this novel decomposition technique. In the three follow-up papers, we find a combinatorial structure suitable inside the decomposition, which we then use for embedding the tree.

nicotine addiction

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified and reproduced thousands of diseases associated loci, but many of them are not directly interpretable due to the strong linkage disequilibrium among variants. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) incorporated expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) cohorts as a reference panel to detect associations with the phenotype at the gene level and have been gaining popularity in recent years. For nicotine addiction, several important susceptible genetic variants were identified by GWAS, but TWAS that detected genes associated with nicotine addiction and unveiled the underlying molecular mechanism were still lacking. In this study, we used eQTL data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) consortium as a reference panel to conduct tissue-specific TWAS on cigarettes per day (CPD) over thirteen brain tissues in two large cohorts: UK Biobank (UKBB; number of participants (N) = 142,202) and the GWAS & Sequencing Consortium of Alcohol and Nicotine use (GSCAN; N = 143,210), then meta-analyzing the results across tissues while considering the heterogeneity across tissues. We identified three major clusters of genes with different meta-patterns across tissues consistent in both cohorts, including homogenous genes associated with CPD in all brain tissues; partially homogeneous genes associated with CPD in cortex, cerebellum, and hippocampus tissues; and, lastly, the tissue-specific genes associated with CPD in only a few specific brain tissues. Downstream enrichment analyses on each gene cluster identified unique biological pathways associated with CPD and provided important biological insights into the regulatory mechanism of nicotine dependence in the brain.
Quantum Asymmetric Virtual Field Flow as a Model for Gravity

description: We propose a novel interpretation of gravity as a macroscopic effect of microscopicquantum interactions, specifically involving the asymmetric exchange and interference ofvirtual particles. This model bypasses the need for spacetime curvature by describinggravitational attraction as the net result of virtual particle imbalance—generated bymass-induced interference in otherwise symmetric vacuum fluctuations. We explore thetheoretical foundations, similarities with the Casimir effect and Le Sage gravity, andimplications for unifying gravity with quantum field behavior.

description: We study nonlinear properties of multilayer metamaterials created by graphene sheets separated by dielectric layers. We demonstrate that such structures can support localized nonlinear modes described by the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation and that its solutions are associated with stable discrete plasmon solitons. We also analyze the nonlinear surface modes in truncated graphene metamaterials being a nonlinear analog of surface Tamm states.

SELEX

description: A modified SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) pr,otocol (referred to as PT SELEX) was used to select primer–template (P/T) sequences that bound to the vaccinia virus polymerase catalytic subunit (E9) with enhanced affinity. A single selected P/T sequence (referred to as E9-R5-12) bound in physiological salt conditions with an apparent equilibrium dissociation constant (KD,app) of 93 ± 7 nM. The dissociation rate constant (koff) and binding half-life (t1/2) for E9-R5-12 were 0.083 ± 0.019 min−1 and 8.6 ± 2.0 min, respectively. The values indicated a several-fold greater binding ability compared to controls, which bound too weakly to be accurately measured under the conditions employed. Loop-back DNA constructs with 3′-recessed termini derived from E9-R5-12 also showed enhanced binding when the hybrid region was 21 nucleotides or more. Although the sequence of E9-R5-12 matched perfectly over a 12-base-pair segment in the coding region of the virus B20 protein, there was no clear indication that this sequence plays any role in vaccinia virus biology, or a clear reason why it promotes stronger binding to E9. In addition to E9, five other polymerases (HIV-1, Moloney murine leukemia virus, and avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptases (RTs), and Taq and Klenow DNA polymerases) have demonstrated strong sequence binding preferences for P/Ts and, in those cases, there was biological or potential evolutionary relevance. For the HIV-1 RT, sequence preferences were used to aid crystallization and study viral inhibitors. The results suggest that several other DNA polymerases may have P/T sequence preferences that could potentially be exploited in various protocols.

description: Anomalous orbits are found when minimum-chi^{2} estimation is applied to synthetic Gaia data for orbits with astrometric signatures comparable to the single-scan measurement error (Pourbaix 2002). These orbits are nearly parabolic, edge-on, and their major axes align with the line-of-sight to the observer. Such orbits violate the Copernican principle (CPr) and as such could be rejected. However, the preferred alternative is to develop a statistical technique that incorporates the CPr as a fundamental postulate. This can be achieved in a Bayesian context by defining a Copernican prior. Pourbaix's anomalous orbits then no longer arise. Instead, the selected orbits have a somewhat higher chi^{2} but do not violate the CPr. The problem of detecting a weak additional orbit in an astrometric binary with a well-determined orbit is also treated.

description: We demonstrate that among the potential sources of the primordial abundance variations of the proton-capture elements in globular-cluster stars proposed so far, such as the hot-bottom burning in massive AGB stars and H burning in the convective cores of supermassive and fast-rotating massive MS stars, only the supermassive MS stars with M > 10,000 Msun can explain all the observed abundance correlations without any fine-tuning of model parameters. We use our assumed chemical composition for the pristine gas in M13 (NGC6205) and its mixtures with 50% and 90% of the material partially processed in H burning in the 60,000 Msun MS model star as the initial compositions for the normal, intermediate and extreme populations of low-mass stars in this globular cluster, as suggested by its O-Na anti-correlation. We evolve these stars from the zero-age MS to the RGB tip with the thermohaline and parametric prescriptions for the RGB extra mixing. We find that the 3He-driven thermohaline convection cannot explain the evolutionary decline of [C/Fe] in M13 RGB stars, which, on the other hand, is well reproduced with the universal values for the mixing depth and rate calibrated using the observed decrease of [C/Fe] with MV in the globular cluster NGC5466 that does not have the primordial abundance variations.
