description: We have synthesized single crystals of K1.00(3)Fe0.85(2)Ag1.15(2)Te2.0(1). The materials crystallizes in the ThCr2Si2 structure with I4/mmm symmetry and without K and Fe/Ag deficiencies, unlike in KxFe2-ySe2 and KxFe2-yS2. In contrast to theoretical prediction for higher Tc in KFe2Te2, KFe0.85Ag1.15Te2 is a semiconductor with long-range antiferromagnetic transition at TN = 35 K.

description: In the recently discovered class of materials known as topological insulators, the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling causes certain topological invariants in the bulk to differ from their values in vacuum. The sudden change of invariants at the interface results in metallic, time reversal invariant surface states whose properties are useful for applications in spintronics and quantum computation. However, a key challenge is to fabricate these materials on the nanoscale appropriate for devices and probing the surface. To this end we have produced 2 nm thick nanocrystals of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ via mechanical exfoliation. For crystals thinner than 10 nm we observe the emergence of an additional mode in the Raman spectrum. The emergent mode intensity together with the other results presented here provide a recipe for production and thickness characterization of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ nanocrystals.

Conformal field theories in anti-de Sitter space

description: In this paper we discuss the dynamics of conformal field theories on anti-de Sitter space, focussing on the special case of the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on AdS_4. We argue that the choice of boundary conditions, in particular for the gauge field, has a large effect on the dynamics. For example, for weak coupling, one of two natural choices of boundary conditions for the gauge field leads to a large N deconfinement phase transition as a function of the temperature, while the other does not. For boundary conditions that preserve supersymmetry, the strong coupling dynamics can be analyzed using S-duality (relevant for g_{YM} >> 1), utilizing results of Gaiotto and Witten, as well as by using the AdS/CFT correspondence (relevant for large N and large 't Hooft coupling). We argue that some very specific choices of boundary conditions lead to a simple dual gravitational description for this theory, while for most choices the gravitational dual is not known. In the cases where the gravitational dual is known, we discuss the phase structure at large 't Hooft coupling.

Perspectives and practices of Asian Canadian teachers in decolonizing mathematics and music education
Creators: name: Chen, Arthur Tien-Li
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This thesis is a research study of the practices and perspectives of six Asian Canadian teachers as non-Indigenous settlers of colour in decolonizing education in the learning areas of mathematics and music. With a growing population of migrant communities, I raise the importance of understanding how people of colour construct their racial, national, cultural and settler identities as Canadians including their relationships with Indigenous peoples, lands, and knowledge systems. With the background of my own experience as an Asian New Zealander, I explore how Asian Canadian teachers have been practicing Indigenization and decolonization in their pedagogy. Drawing upon scholars in Indigenous, settler, and Asian Critical Studies, I investigate how participants’ constructs of identity affect their sense of responsibilities to participate in Indigenizing and decolonizing their teaching practice. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six Asian Canadian teachers—three mathematics teachers and three music teachers. The interviews explored participants’ life stories and experiences that contributed to their identity construction as Asian Canadians and their experiences in learning and teaching Indigenous knowledge and worldviews. The findings suggest that the participants face experiences of being perpetual foreigners/denizens which I theorize is a barrier to Asian teachers realising responsibilities to decolonize. I offer my suggestions for stakeholders in education – i.e., policymakers, administrations, and educators – in the form of various approaches to decolonize education that centre goals of Indigenous self-determination.

description: Land holding in India is highly fragmented and dominated by the presence of small and marginal farmers. Some progress has been observed in case of small and marginal farmer’s access to general financial services, but relatively little improvement has been noticed. The major reason behind such gap is lack of significant studies considering the challenges of agri-value chain financing in context of small holdings of India. Therefore, the prime aim of the present study was firstly to develop a linkage between various schools of thoughts to explore the factors affecting the opportunities and challenges in smallholder finance across the world. Subsequently, pilot study was conducted to test various hypotheses driven by review work through empirical investigation based on various factors affecting the prospects and constraints affecting the smallholder finance in India. The findings of this paper will be useful in designing ground level financing policies related with small and marginal farmers.

description: E.T. Jaynes, originator of the maximum entropy interpretation of statistical mechanics, emphasized that there is an inevitable trade-off between the conflicting requirements of robustness and accuracy for any inferencing algorithm. This is because robustness requires discarding of information in order to reduce the sensitivity to outliers. The principal of nonlinear statistical coupling, which is an interpretation of the Tsallis entropy generalization, can be used to quantify this trade-off. The coupled-surprisal, -ln_k (p)=-(p^k-1)/k, is a generalization of Shannon surprisal or the logarithmic scoring rule, given a forecast p of a true event by an inferencing algorithm. The coupling parameter k=1-q, where q is the Tsallis entropy index, is the degree of nonlinear coupling between statistical states. Positive (negative) values of nonlinear coupling decrease (increase) the surprisal information metric and thereby biases the risk in favor of decisive (robust) algorithms relative to the Shannon surprisal (k=0). We show that translating the average coupled-surprisal to an effective probability is equivalent to using the generalized mean of the true event probabilities as a scoring rule. The metric is used to assess the robustness, accuracy, and decisiveness of a fusion algorithm. We use a two-parameter fusion algorithm to combine input probabilities from N sources. The generalized mean parameter 'alpha' varies the degree of smoothing and raising to a power N^beta with beta between 0 and 1 provides a model of correlation.

description: We show that quasi-long-range (QLR) pair correlations that decay asymptotically with scaling $r^{-(d+1)}$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, trademarks of certain quantum systems and cosmological structures, are a universal signature of maximally random jammed (MRJ) hard-particle packings. We introduce a novel hyperuniformity descriptor in MRJ packings by studying local-volume-fraction fluctuations and show that infinite-wavelength fluctuations vanish even for packings with size- and shape-distributions. Special void statistics induce hyperuniformity and QLR pair correlations.

description: We determine the intrinsic shapes and orientations of 27,450 type I and II active galactic nucleus (AGN) galaxies in the spectroscopic sample of the SDSS DR7, by studying the distribution of projected axis ratios of AGN hosts. Our aim is to study possible alignments between the AGN and host galaxy systems (e.g. the accretion disc and the galaxy angular momentum) and the effect of dust obscuration geometry on the AGN type. We define control samples of non-AGN galaxies that mimic the morphology, colour, luminosity and concentration distributions of the AGN population, taking into account the effects of dust extinction and reddening. Assuming that AGN galaxies have the same underlying three-dimensional shape distribution as their corresponding control samples, we find that the spiral and elliptical type I AGN populations are strongly skewed toward face-on galaxies, while ellipticals and spirals type II AGN are skewed toward edge-on orientations. These findings rule out random orientations for AGN hosts at high confidence for type I spirals (delta chi^2~230) and type II ellipticals (delta chi^2~15), while the signal for type I ellipticals and type II spirals is weaker (delta chi^2~3 and delta chi^2~6, respectively). We obtain a much stronger tendency for the type II spirals to be edge-on when just high [OIII] equivalent width (EW) AGN are considered, suggesting that >20% of low [OIII] EW edge-on type II AGN may be missing from the optical sample. Galactic dust absorption of the broad-line region alone cannot explain the observed inclination angle and projected axis ratio distributions of type I and II Seyfert types, implying that obscuration by a small-scale circumnuclear torus is necessary. These results favour a scenario in which the angular momentum of the material which feeds the black hole retains a memory of its original gas source at least to some small, non-negligible degree.

description: Supplementary material of the paper published in International Journal “Information Theories and Applications”, Vol. 17, Number 1, 2010: 49-61 One of the main problems in the statistical analysis of Evolutionary Computation (EC) experiments is the ‘statistical personality’ of data. A main feature of EC algorithms is the sampling of solutions from one generation to the next. Sampling is based on Holland’s schema theory, having a greater probability to be chosen those solutions with best-fitness (or evaluation) values. In consequence, simulation experiments result in biased samples with non-normal, highly skewed, and asymmetric distributions. Furthermore, the main problem arises with the noncompliance of one of the main premises of the central limit theorem, invalidating the statistical analysis based on the average fitness f of the solutions. In this paper, we address a tutorial or ‘How-to’ explaining the basics of the statistical analysis of data in EC. The use of nonparametric tests for comparing two or more medians combined with Exploratory Data Analysis is a good option, bearing in mind that we are only considering two experimental situations that are common in EC practitioners: (i) the performance evaluation of an algorithm and (ii) the multiple experiments comparison. The different approaches are illustrated with different examples (see http://bioinformatica.net/tests/survey.html) selected from Evolutionary Computation and the related field of Artificial Life.

description: When classical information is sent over a quantum channel, attaining the ultimate limit to channel capacity requires the receiver to make joint measurements over long codeword blocks. For a pure-state channel, we construct a receiver that can attain the ultimate capacity by applying a single-shot unitary transformation on the received quantum codeword followed by simultaneous (but separable) projective measurements on the single-modulation-symbol state spaces. We study the ultimate limits of photon-information-efficient communications on a lossy bosonic channel. Based on our general results for the pure-state quantum channel, we show some of the first concrete examples of codes and structured joint-detection optical receivers that can achieve fundamentally higher (superadditive) channel capacity than conventional receivers that detect each modulation symbol individually.

description: The deliverable D8.1, “Piloting Plan”, aims to give a general scope of the activities that will be undertaken during the project lifetime under the pilots, a report documenting the plan for the development and execution of the pilots and the methodology and materials for the pilot trials. The objective of this deliverable is to provide, in the first part, generic guidelines to all the pilots that will constitute instantiations of the use cases that have already been identified in WP2. Updated versions of this deliverable, including refined piloting plans, are due to M15 and M24 of the project lifetime. Deliverable D8.1, “Piloting Plan”, is based on the individual plans of the following pilots: Table Grapes Pilot (AUA), Wine Making Pilot (INRA), Farm Management Pilot (ABACO & Geocledian), and Natural Cosmetics Pilot (APIGEA). This document reports tailored guidelines and concludes with a detailed overview of the planning for each of the four pilots. Information was directly provided by the pilot leaders to ensure the specificity of the guidelines and the smooth progress of the operations. The document is structured as follows. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to the deliverable whereas Chapter 2 provides an overview of the four piloting plans containing important information regarding them, in order to describe the importance of these pilot trials and the methodology and materials that will be used. Each of these pilot plans is separated in four sections: the introduction and its specific goals, the technical guidelines and methodology to be used, the measurements to be performed and the envisaged outcomes. The introduction describes the importance of the pilot trials proposed and contains information to clearly identify why the pilot is being conducted and what the pilot is intended to accomplish, along with any assumptions being made. In the technical guidelines section, the site description where the pilot trials will take place, the equipment and methods used, along with a detailed description of all resources necessary to fully conduct the pilot, and the expected timeline are included. Finally, the envisaged outcomes part constitutes a description of how the collected data and datasets will be used to operate in favour of the BigDataGrapes project. Chapter 3 illustrates the connection of the pilots to the use cases identified in WP2 and Chapter 4 contains the conclusions regarding the pilot planning.

description: The aim of the work is to build a computer model of the destruction of heterogeneous materials based on the method of discrete elements. The model was implemented in a specialized software package EDEM. The uniaxial stress state was achieved by imitation of compression. The stress-strain state is assessed and 5 the influence of material parameters on the development of fracture is analyzed. Comparison of the results of computer and field experiments suggests that the proposed model adequately describes the process of accumulation of defects.

description: Supplementary material of the paper published in International Journal “Information Theories and Applications”, Vol. 17, Number 1, 2010: 49-61 One of the main problems in the statistical analysis of Evolutionary Computation (EC) experiments is the ‘statistical personality’ of data. A main feature of EC algorithms is the sampling of solutions from one generation to the next. Sampling is based on Holland’s schema theory, having a greater probability to be chosen those solutions with best-fitness (or evaluation) values. In consequence, simulation experiments result in biased samples with non-normal, highly skewed, and asymmetric distributions. Furthermore, the main problem arises with the noncompliance of one of the main premises of the central limit theorem, invalidating the statistical analysis based on the average fitness f of the solutions. In this paper, we address a tutorial or ‘How-to’ explaining the basics of the statistical analysis of data in EC. The use of nonparametric tests for comparing two or more medians combined with Exploratory Data Analysis is a good option, bearing in mind that we are only considering two experimental situations that are common in EC practitioners: (i) the performance evaluation of an algorithm and (ii) the multiple experiments comparison. The different approaches are illustrated with different examples (see http://bioinformatica.net/tests/survey.html) selected from Evolutionary Computation and the related field of Artificial Life.

description: Strange particles have been a very important observable in the search for a deconfined state of strongly interacting matter, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which is expected to be formed in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. We review the main experimental observations made at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN, Geneva, and at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The large amount of recently collected data allows for a comprehensive study of strangeness production as a function of energy and system size. We review results on yields, transverse mass and rapidity spectra, as well as elliptic flow. The measurements are interpreted in the context of various theoretical concepts and their implications are discussed. Of particular interest is the question whether strange particles are in any way sensitive to a partonic phase. Finally, a compilation of experimental data is provided.

Impact of a regulatory quality assurance program : perceptions of dental hygienists in British Columbia
Creators: name: Soth, Monica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Dental hygienists in British Columbia must participate in a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) to support their professional competence. The College of Dental Hygienists of British Columbia launched a new quality assurance program in 2013 and has now enrolled all practicing registrants into the program. This study explored dental hygienists’ perceptions of the QAP from the perspective of its impact on practice. Based on a critical realism framework, this mixed methods study used a quantitative component nested within a predominantly qualitative design. The study employed an exploratory sequential design in which participants completed an online survey with some participating in telephone interviews. The online survey (n=451; 12.7% response rate) collected data regarding perceptions of practitioners and the impact of the program related to safe and competent care. It included quantitative data about potential barriers to implementing regulatory standards, conditions of work, and professional identity along with qualitative data from open-ended questions. Phase 2 involved 11 respondent interviews to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of the program on care. Analysis of the data sets revealed several themes. Respondents discussed how the regulatory practice standards, a key component of the QAP quality assurance program, related to patient safety, competence, professional agency, autonomy, and professional confidence within the current workplace culture. Respondents viewed themselves as healthcare professionals. They generally felt valued for their abilities and enjoyed maintaining currency through continuing education activities. They revealed that the QAP generally had little influence on the delivery of care. The business culture within dental offices appeared to negatively affect participants’ professional agency thus affecting their ability to implement their regulatory practice standards. Failure to implement these standards may negatively affect client safety and result in reduced health outcomes. This study will be of interest to healthcare regulatory bodies and others in the profession.

description:
Neutralization capacity of antibodies against Omicron after a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection in children and adolescents is not well studied. Therefore, we evaluated virus-neutralizing capacity against SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Omicron variants by age-stratified analyses (<5, 5–11, 12–21 years) in 177 pediatric patients hospitalized with severe acute COVID-19, acute MIS-C, and in convalescent samples of outpatients with mild COVID-19 during 2020 and early 2021. Across all patients, less than 10% show neutralizing antibody titers against Omicron. Children <5 years of age hospitalized with severe acute COVID-19 have lower neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 variants compared with patients >5 years of age. As expected, convalescent pediatric COVID-19 and MIS-C cohorts demonstrate higher neutralization titers than hospitalized acute COVID-19 patients. Overall, children and adolescents show some loss of cross-neutralization against all variants, with the most pronounced loss against Omicron. In contrast to SARS-CoV-2 infection, children vaccinated twice demonstrated higher titers against Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Omicron. These findings can influence transmission, re-infection and the clinical disease outcome from emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and supports the need for vaccination in children.

description: Italy faces a most challenging global financial and economic crisis since the end of World War II. For an economy that grew at a rapid pace between the 1950’s and the 1980’s, Italy has seen slower growth in the last twenty years. Italian policymakers are facing a series of problems that include a contracting gross domestic product (GDP), large unemployment, especially among its young people, high government deficits, large governmental borrowing along with high interest rates, and a divisive north-south economy, to name a few. Adding to these dilemmas are its recent recessionary periods, which some liken to a depression, a decrease in domestic demand, and an exodus by highly skilled younger people for better employment prospects in other countries. Italian policymakers are trying diverse solutions to these complex problems, but are worried that they may not be enough to solve its crisis.

description: Double Extensive Air Showers and aligned events were discovered at energies E {\gtsim} 1016 eV over fourth century back. But up to now there is no sufficiently identical explanation of their nature. In this paper it is expected that both types of events are the result of breakup of the string formed in the collisions of super high energy particles.
Effects of anisotropic elasticity in the problem of domain formation and stability of monodomain state in ferroelectric films

description: We study cubic ferroelectrics films that become uniaxial with a polar axis perpendicular to the film because of a misfit strain due to a substrate. The main present result is the analytical account for the elastic anisotropy as well as the anisotropy of the electrostriction. They define, in particular, an orientation of the domain boundaries and stabilizing or destabilizing effect of inhomogeneous elastic strains on the single domain state. We apply the general results to perovskite systems like BaTiO3/SrRuO3/SrTiO3 films and find that at least not far from the ferroelectric phase transition the equilibrium domain structure consists of the stripes along the cubic axes or at 45 degrees to them. We have also showed that in this system the inhomogeneous strains increase stability with regards to the small fluctuations of the metastable single domain state, which may exist not very close to the ferroelectric transition. The latter analytical result is in qualitative agreement with the numerical result by Pertsev and Kohlstedt [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 257603 (2007)], but we show that the effect is much smaller than those authors claim. We have found also that under certain conditions on the material constants, which are not satisfied in the perovskites but are not forbidden either, a checkerboard domain structure can be realized instead of the stripe-like one and that the polarization-strain coupling decreases stability of a single domain state instead of increasing it. The single domain state is metastable at certain large thicknesses and becomes suitable for memory applications at even larger thicknesses when the lifetime of the metastable state becomes sufficiently large.

Three-fold way to extinction in populations of cyclically competing species

description: Species extinction occurs regularly and unavoidably in ecological systems. The time scales for extinction can broadly vary and inform on the ecosystem's stability. We study the spatio-temporal extinction dynamics of a paradigmatic population model where three species exhibit cyclic competition. The cyclic dynamics reflects the non-equilibrium nature of the species interactions. While previous work focusses on the coarsening process as a mechanism that drives the system to extinction, we found that unexpectedly the dynamics to extinction is much richer. We observed three different types of dynamics. In addition to coarsening, in the evolutionary relevant limit of large times, oscillating traveling waves and heteroclinic orbits play a dominant role. The weight of the different processes depends on the degree of mixing and the system size. By analytical arguments and extensive numerical simulations we provide the full characteristics of scenarios leading to extinction in one of the most surprising models of ecology.
