description: The current flux density is a vector field that can be used to describe theoretically how electrons flow in a system out-of-equilibrium. In this work, we unequivocally demonstrate that the signal obtained from time-resolved X-ray scattering does not only map the time-evolution of the electronic charge distribution, but also encodes information about the associated electronic current flux density. We show how the electronic current flux density qualitatively maps the distribution of electronic momenta and reveals the underlying mechanism of ultrafast charge migration processes, while also providing quantitative information about the timescales of electronic coherences.

description: In information retrieval research, precision and recall have long been used to evaluate IR systems. However, given that a number of retrieval systems resembling one another are already available to the public, it is valuable to retrieve novel relevant documents, i.e., documents that cannot be retrieved by those existing systems. In view of this problem, we propose an evaluation method that favors systems retrieving as many novel documents as possible. We also used our method to evaluate systems that participated in the IREX workshop.

Subjects: Management Practices, Principals, Classroom Environment

description: The study ascertained the relationship between principals’ management practices and effective classroom environment in secondary schools in Enugu State. The study was guided by two research questions while two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Correlational survey research design was adopted for the study. The population for the study comprised 295 principals. There was no sampling approach because the population was manageable as at the time of this study. The instrument for data collection was a researcher structured questionnaire titled “Relationship between Principals’ Management Practices and Effective Classroom Environment Questionnaire (RPMPECEQ)”. The instrument was face validated by three experts; two from Department of Educational Management and one from Measurement and Evaluation unit of Department of Mathematics and Computer Education all in Faculty of Education, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu. The internal consistency of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha statistic which yielded 0.81 for cluster 1 and 0.80 for cluster 2 respectively. The instrument had an overall reliability index of 0.81 which indicated that the instrument was appropriate for use. The research questions were answered using Pearson’s Product Moment Co-efficient, while the null hypotheses were tested using linear regression at 0.05 level of significant. The findings of the study indicated that high positive relationship exists between principals’ time management and effective classroom environment in secondary schools in Enugu State. Also, there was a high positive relationship between principals’ communication style and effective classroom environment in secondary schools in Enugu State. Based on the findings, the study recommended among others that principals should endeavour to regularly observe the aspect of their time management in order to continually provide effective classroom environment

description: A proper definition of the path integral of quantum gravity has been a long-standing puzzle because the Weyl factor of the Euclidean metric has a wrong-sign kinetic term. We propose a definition of two-dimensional Liouville quantum gravity with cosmological constant using conformal bootstrap for the timelike Liouville theory coupled to supercritical matter. We prove a no-ghost theorem for the states in the BRST cohomology. We show that the four-point function constructed by gluing the timelike Liouville three-point functions is well defined and crossing symmetric (numerically) for external Liouville energies corresponding to \textit{all} physical states in the BRST cohomology with the choice of the Ribault-Santachiara contour for the internal energy.

description: Insights into animal behaviour play an increasingly central role in species-focused conservation practice. However, progress towards incorporating behaviour into regional or global conservation strategies has been more limited, not least because standardized datasets of behavioural traits are generally lacking at wider taxonomic or spatial scales. Here we make use of the recent expansion of global datasets for birds to assess the prospects for including behavioural traits in systematic conservation priority-setting and monitoring programmes. Using IUCN Red List classifications for more than 9500 bird species, we show that the incidence of threat can vary substantially across different behavioural categories, and that some types of behaviour—including particular foraging, mating and migration strategies—are significantly more threatened than others. The link between behavioural traits and extinction risk is partly driven by correlations with well-established geographical and ecological factors (e.g. range size, body mass, human population pressure), but our models also reveal that behaviour modifies the effect of these factors, helping to explain broad-scale patterns of extinction risk. Overall, these results suggest that a multi-species approach at the scale of communities, continents and ecosystems can be used to identify and monitor threatened behaviours, and to flag up cases of latent extinction risk, where threatened status may currently be underestimated. Our findings also highlight the importance of comprehensive standardized descriptive data for ecological and behavioural traits, and point the way towards deeper integration of behaviour into quantitative conservation assessments.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Linking behaviour to dynamics of populations and communities: application of novel approaches in behavioural ecology to conservation’.

description: Sounding the Everyday: Working with Objects in New Music Practice is an examination of how everyday objects can expand the music practices of composers, performers, and improvisers. I identify with each of these roles in my own creative practice, and my artistic research includes creation, critical enquiry, analysis and reflections of new and original work with everyday objects. I focus on the appearances of everyday objects in music from my perspective as a flutist, and my artistic research is exploratory and experimental. The unconventionality of everyday objects in music can be surprising and comedic, and creating space for them in this context can invite the unexpected. It is through this approach that I realise working with everyday objects as a form of collaborating with the nonhuman. I acknowledge the historical and current practices of everyday objects in new music by conducting a context scan of existing literature, recordings, practitioners, and documentation, which helps me to position my own artistic perspective within the field. Theoretical models that level both humans and nonhumans as equal assist my research of expanding a music practice with everyday objects, and I discuss the ethical implications of the word use in a collaborative context. Considering these theoretical concepts, I present a Categorical Framework through which to approach working with everyday objects, and I apply this framework to the analysis of recent works by contemporary composers, performers, and improvisers. The practice-based component of this research is a portfolio of 15 original works and other performances of both notated and improvised music, and I discuss and reflect upon the creative processes in my findings. Major themes from my artistic work emerge in my reflections—the unexpected, collaboration, and function—and I present the practical considerations of working with everyday objects through the perspectives of composer, performer, and improviser. It is through these headings that I discover how the multisensory qualities of everyday objects can expand a music practice.
Narrow coverings of omega-product spaces

description: Results of Sierpinski and others have shown that certain finite-dimensional product sets can be written as unions of subsets, each of which is "narrow" in a corresponding direction; that is, each line in that direction intersects the subset in a small set. For example, if the set (omega \times omega) is partitioned into two pieces along the diagonal, then one piece meets every horizontal line in a finite set, and the other piece meets each vertical line in a finite set. Such partitions or coverings can exist only when the sets forming the product are of limited size. This paper considers such coverings for products of infinitely many sets (usually a product of omega copies of the same cardinal kappa). In this case, a covering of the product by narrow sets, one for each coordinate direction, will exist no matter how large the factor sets are. But if one restricts the sets used in the covering (for instance, requiring them to be Borel in a product topology), then the existence of narrow coverings is related to a number of large cardinal properties: partition cardinals, the free subset problem, nonregular ultrafilters, and so on. One result given here is a relative consistency proof for a hypothesis used by S. Mrowka to construct a counterexample in the dimension theory of metric spaces.

 Material examined. – LSUHC 7795: Pramaoy, 4 Aug.2006. LSUHC 7809: Che Teal Chrum, 5 Aug.2006; LSUHC 7854, 7856–57, 7886, 8 Aug.2006; LSUHC 7968, 12 Aug.2006.
 Remarks. – Five adult males (LSUHC 7795, 7809, 7854, 7856, 7857; SVL 50–59 mm) and two adult females (LSUHC 7786, 7968; SVL 55–65 mm) match Taylor’s (1963) diagnosis and the description of this species from the central Cardamoms (Stuart & Emmett, 2006) in having unregenerated tails nearly four times longer than the SVLs; nasals meeting on the median line; keeled frontal scale; a single preanal pore at the base of each hind limb; and a single, enlarged anal scale flanked by two small scales on each side. They differ in that Taylor (1963) reports Takydromus sexlineatus having six rows of enlarged keeled scales on the neck and front onehalf of the body followed by four rows. However, LSUHC 7795, 7856–57, 7886, and 7968 have eight rows of enlarged keeled scales on the neck which become four rows at the level of the forelimb insertion. LSUHC 7809 and 7854 have eight enlarged rows on the neck, becoming six rows at the level of the forelimb insertions, and four rows in the anterior region of the trunk. All scale rows are strongly keeled with the keels forming a continuous ridge running the length of the body. Taylor (1963) also notes that there are 10–14 rows of enlarged, keeled ventral scales, whereas the series examined here have 6–10 rows. This, however, may be due to a difference in counting where Taylor counted all keeled scale rows including the two ventrolateral rows on each side of the body and we counted only the ventral scale rows. They differ from Stuart & Emmett’s (2006) specimen in that only the frontal scale is keeled rather than all the head shields.
All specimens from Che Teal Chrum were found during the day generally 0.5– 1 m above the ground in the grassy, open areas between patches of secondary forest near the village. LSUHC 7795 from Pramaoy was found beneath a log during the late afternoon in a refuse pile at the edge of town. This species has been reported from the central and southeastern Cardamoms by Stuart & Emmett (2006) and from hilly eastern Cambodia by Stuart et al. (2006).

description: We consider the inertial Kuramoto model of $N$ globally coupled oscillators characterized by both their phase and angular velocity, in which there is a time delay in the interaction between the oscillators. Besides the academic interest, we show that the model can be related to a network of phase-locked loops widely used in electronic circuits for generating a stable frequency at multiples of an input frequency. We study the model for a generic choice of the natural frequency distribution of the oscillators, to elucidate how a synchronized phase bifurcates from an incoherent phase as the coupling constant between the oscillators is tuned. We show that in contrast to the case with no delay, here the system in the stationary state may exhibit either a subcritical or a supercritical bifurcation between a synchronized and an incoherent phase, which is dictated by the value of the delay present in the interaction and the precise value of inertia of the oscillators. Our theoretical analysis, performed in the limit $N \to \infty$, is based on an unstable manifold expansion in the vicinity of the bifurcation, which we apply to the kinetic equation satisfied by the single-oscillator distribution function. We check our results by performing direct numerical integration of the dynamics for large $N$, and highlight the subtleties arising from having a finite number of oscillators.

SAT (Educational test)

description: This study examines how large scale assessments like the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), developed for students proficient in academic English, may not produce reliable and valid outcomes for academically vulnerable students, namely English Language Learners (ELLs). This mixed-methods study was conducted to uncover differences between the old and new mathematics sections of the SAT, to see if differences in mathematical performance correlate to language abilities by looking at students’ approach, and to explore teacher perceptions, attitudes, and pedagogical practice in the instruction of English learners. The study took place in a New Jersey school district. Seventy-eight students of varying language proficiencies were administered an old and new SAT-Mathematics (SAT-M) section. After scores were statistically analyzed, fifteen students were purposefully chosen to be interviewed. For a more comprehensive view of scores, students were asked to think out loud as they completed selected test items and answer questions pertaining to their background, problem-solving methodology, misconceptions, and limitations. Similarly, nine teachers were given a survey and the exams to pinpoint difficult questions, explain why students struggle, identify what English learners’ needs are, and describe how the needs are met. Qualitative data revealed that students’ performance was a reflection of mathematical and/or language challenges, or lack of exposure to certain mathematical concepts. Additionally, test structure and time constraints had confounding effects on student performance. Even though a variety of cognitive processes were observed, they seemed more aligned to a student’s academic track rather than linguistic abilities. With ELLs usually consigned to lower track mathematics classes, the interconnectedness of class, language, and expectations remains critical. Teachers’ responses reveal their pessimism in overcoming students’ language access barrier and low sense of mathematical efficacy. Teachers’ efforts to provide a more equitable education to ELLs reveal tensions between reform curriculum and equity. Findings of this study contribute to the discussion on factors that may lead to the marginalization of ELLs on national assessments. The results have important implications for test construction and challenges the conceptualization of what “language” is and what being “college and career” ready means.

description: This study is a mixed methods analysis of reading processes and language experiences of deaf and hearing readers. The sample includes four groups each with fifteen adults—identified as: deaf/high-achieving readers, deaf/struggling/non-academic readers, hearing/high-achieving readers, and hearing/non-academic readers. The purpose of this study is to identify factors related to reading achievement and to explore themes that emerge in the language experience and reading behaviors. The quantitative measures of the study are: a background demographics form, reading comprehension assessment, phonological skills assessment, metacognition assessment and think-aloud discussion with a reading strategy checklist where readers are guided through the process of decoding and interpreting the scene from a play. Scores from the reading comprehension assessment are correlated with other assessments and demographic statistics to identify factors of achievement. Similarities and differences between groups of readers are tested with one-way ANOVAs to identify mean differences in scores according to achievement level (skilled/struggling) and hearing status (deaf/hearing). Qualitative data are measured by collecting, reviewing and identifying shared themes in the transcripts of reading background interview and think-aloud discussions (open coding), relating codes and categories (axial coding), and determining a central theme (selective category). Results shows that deaf high-achieving readers perform at similar levels as hearing high-achieving readers, and that for all participants, phonology and metacognition are related to reading achievement; there are similarities and differences in their conceptualization of language; and access to varied instructional strategies and meaningful language experiences is an overarching theme in effective reading.

description: Barn owls hunt in the dark by using cues from both sight and sound to locate their prey. This task is facilitated by topographic maps of the external space formed by neurons (e.g., in the optic tectum) that respond to visual or aural signals from a specific direction. Plasticity of these maps has been studied in owls forced to wear prismatic spectacles that shift their visual field. Adaptive behavior in young owls is accompanied by a compensating shift in the response of (mapped) neurons to auditory signals. We model the receptive fields of such neurons by linear filters that sample correlated audio-visual signals, and search for filters that maximize the gathered information, while subject to the costs of rewiring neurons. Assuming a higher fidelity of visual information, we find that the corresponding receptive fields are robust and unchanged by artificial shifts. The shape of the aural receptive field, however, is controlled by correlations between sight and sound. In response to prismatic glasses, the aural receptive fields shift in the compensating direction, although their shape is modified due to the costs of rewiring.

description: Background Neutral endopeptidase, also known as neprilysin and abbreviated NEP, is considered to be one of the key enzymes in initial human amyloid-β (Aβ) degradation. The aim of our study was to explore the impact of NEP deficiency on the initial development of dementia-like symptoms in mice. Methodology/Principal Findings We found that while endogenous Aβ concentrations were elevated in the brains of NEP-knockout mice at all investigated age groups, immunohistochemical analysis using monoclonal antibodies did not detect any Aβ deposits even in old NEP knockout mice. Surprisingly, tests of learning and memory revealed that the ability to learn was not reduced in old NEP-deficient mice but instead had significantly improved, and sustained learning and memory in the aged mice was congruent with improved long-term potentiation (LTP) in brain slices of the hippocampus and lateral amygdala. Our data suggests a beneficial effect of pharmacological inhibition of cerebral NEP on learning and memory in mice due to the accumulation of peptides other than Aβ degradable by NEP. By conducting degradation studies and peptide measurements in the brain of both genotypes, we identified two neuropeptide candidates, glucagon-like peptide 1 and galanin, as first potential candidates to be involved in the improved learning in aged NEP-deficient mice. Conclusions/Significance Thus, the existence of peptides targeted by NEP that improve learning and memory in older individuals may represent a promising avenue for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
An Analysis of the Essential Chromatin Factor Zinc Finger Protein 1 (ZFP-1), and a Study of the Involvement of RNAi factors in Histone Processing in Caenorabditis Elegans

description: The formation of chromatin defines when and where genes will be expressed, from the histone proteins forming the nucleosome and their many post-translational modifications, to the immense number of proteins that bind these modifications. This thesis is comprised of two projects: the first is an analysis of the essential plant homeodomain-containing protein called zinc finger protein 1 (ZFP-1); the second is a study into how RNA interference (RNAi) factors are involved in histone production in C. elegans. I investigate the physical and biological properties of the PHD fingers of ZFP-1 and find that 1) they are essential for viability and 2) they specifically bind to methylated lysine 4 on histone H3. This study has expanded our understanding of the molecular nature of ZFP-1, the C. elegans ortholog of AF10, which has a role in chromosomal translocations promoting leukemia. I also determine that the RNAi factors CSR-1, EGO-1 and DRH-3 are required for proper histone production in C. elegans. Severe histone depletion results from the knockdown of these RNAi pathway components, which explains both the phenotypes of sterility and chromosome segregation defects in early embryos that are associated with mutants of these factors. This discovery explains the well-known, but poorly understood, phenotypes of the RNAi mutants and provides the first evidence for RNAi positively affecting gene expression.

 Material examined. – LSUHC 7969: Che Teal Chrum, 12 Aug.2006.
 Remarks. – A single juvenile (SVL 97 mm) matches Wallach’s (2001) diagnosis reasonably well in having the preocular scale separate from the nasal scale; inferior nasal suture contacting the second supralabial; two postoculars; 28 midbody scale rows reducing to 24 posteriorly; eight rows of subcaudal scales; eye distinct with a pupil; parietals twice as broad as deep; and a gradual, lateral transition between the opaquely purple dorsal coloration (specimen nearly ready to shed) and the cream-colored venter. It differs from Wallach’s (2001) diagnosis in having 383 total middorsal scales as opposed to 298–341 (Wallach, 2001:40; n = 6). In this regard, it falls within the range of T. muelleri (298–402), which has been reported from the central Cardamoms (Stuart & Emmett, 2006).
Although this is the first record of this species from Cambodia, it has been reported to range from India to Thailand and Vietnam (see David & Vogel, 1996) so its occurrence in Cambodia is not unexpected. The specimen was dug up from a garden by a villager.

description: We examine the constraints on the Yukawa regime from the non-minimally coupled curvature-matter gravity theory arising from deep underwater ocean experiments. We consider the geophysical experiment of Zumberge et al. of 1991 for searching deviations of Newton's inverse square law in ocean. In the context of non-minimally coupled curvature-matter theory of gravity the results of Zumberge et al. can be used to obtain an upper bound both on the strength $α$ and range $λ$ of the Yukawa potential arising from the non-relativistic limit of the non-minimally coupled theory. The existence of an upper bound on $λ$ is related to the presence of an extra force, specific of the nonminimally coupled theory, which depends on $λ$ and on the gradient of mass density, and has an effect in the ocean because of compressibility of seawater. These results can be achieved after a suitable treatment of the conversion of pressure to depth in the ocean by resorting to the equation of state of seawater and taking into account the effect of the extra force on hydrostatic equilibrium. If the sole Yukawa interaction were present the experiment would yield only a bound on $α$, while, in the presence of the extra force we find an upper bound on the range: $λ_{\rm max}= 57.4$ km.

To do so we use lattice simulations and a recent extension to the $δN$ formalism. The work demonstrates the functionality of these techniques for calculating the observational signatures of models in which non-perturbative reheating involves a light scalar field.

description: In 2 studies, I sought to determine the relation between peer attention and the behavioral developmental cusp for learning by observation. In Experiment I, I selected 21 preschool-aged participants with and without developmental disabilities and screened the participants for a) peer attention; b) observational performance; c) observational learning of new operants; and d) observational learning of reinforcers. The results demonstrated that each of the participants all fit into 1 of 4 groups, based on the presence of peer attention and the 3 types of observational learning. I implemented the peer-yoked contingency gameboard intervention for the 14 participants who did not demonstrate one or more types of observational learning. The results of Experiment I demonstrated that only the participants with peer attention in repertoire acquired all three types of observational learning as a function of the peer-yoked contingency gameboard observational intervention. Serendipitous findings yielded a possible correlation between the different types of observational learning. In Experiment II, I conducted repeated probes to determine if all three types of observational learning would emerge for participants with peer attention. All 6 of the participants in Experiment II acquired all three types of observational learning, as a function of the repeated probes. Observational learning developmental trajectory findings are discussed.

description: Streptococcus agalactiae, or group B Streptococcus (GBS), infects diverse hosts including humans and economically important species such as cattle and fishes. In the context of human health, GBS is a major cause of neonatal infections and an emerging cause of invasive disease in adults and of foodborne disease in Southeast Asia. Here we show that GBS is able to establish a systemic infection in Galleria mellonella larvae that is associated with extensive bacterial replication and dose-dependent larval survival. This infection model is suitable for use with GBS isolates from both homeothermic and poikilothermic hosts. Hypervirulent sequence types (ST) associated with invasive human disease in neonates (ST17) or adults (ST283) show increased virulence in this model, indicating it may be useful in studying GBS virulence determinants, albeit with limitations for some host-specific virulence factors. In addition, we demonstrate that larval survival can be afforded by antibiotic treatment and so the model may also be useful in the development of novel anti-GBS strategies. The use of G. mellonella in GBS research has the potential to provide a low-cost infection model that could reduce the number of vertebrates used in the study of GBS infection.

description: The noble-alkali comagnetometer, developed in recent years, has been shown to be a very accurate measuring device of anomalous magnetic-like fields. An ultra-light relic axion-like particle can source an anomalous field that permeates space, allowing for its detection by comagnetometers. Here we derive new constraints on relic axion-like particles interaction with neutrons and electrons from old comagnetometer data. We show that the decade-old experimental data place the most stringent terrestrial constraints to date on ultra-light axion-like particles coupled to neutrons. The constraints are comparable to those from stellar cooling, providing a complementary probe. Future planned improvements of comagnetometer measurements through altered geometry, constituent content and data analysis techniques could enhance the sensitivity to axion-like relics coupled to nucleons or electrons by many orders of magnitude.

 Material examined. – LSUHC 7879: Camp 1, 6 Aug.2006.
 Remarks. – An adult female (SVL 944 mm) agrees with the description of this species by Taylor (1965) and that of a specimen from the central Cardamoms (Stuart & Emmett, 2006) in having eight supralabials; 12 infralabials; one preocular; two postoculars; 21 body scale rows with enlarged vertebrals; 252 ventral scales; 138 divided, subcaudal scales; and being uniform green above with black interstitial skin. This species has been previously reported from central Cambodia (Saint Girons, 1972), the central Cardamoms (Stuart & Emmet, 2006), and hilly eastern Cambodia (Stuart et al., 2006).
This specimen was found at night approximately 3 m above the ground crawling through the branches of a small tree.

description: People express emotion using their voice, face and movement, as well as through abstract forms as in art, architecture and music. The structure of these expressions often seems intuitively linked to its meaning: e.g. romantic poetry is written in flowery curlicues, while the logos of death metal bands use spiky script. Here, we show that these associations are universally understood because they are signalled using a multi-sensory code for emotional arousal. Specifically, variation in the central tendency of the frequency spectrum of a stimulus—its spectral centroid—is used by signal senders to express emotional arousal, and by signal receivers to make emotional arousal judgements. We show that this code is used across sounds, shapes, speech and human body movements, providing a strong multi-sensory signal that can be used to efficiently estimate an agent's level of emotional arousal.

description: Model sets (or cut and project sets) provide a familiar and commonly used method of constructing and studying nonperiodic point sets. Here we extend this method to situations where the internal spaces are no longer Euclidean, but instead spaces with p-adic topologies or even with mixed Euclidean/p-adic topologies. We show that a number of well known tilings precisely fit this form, including the chair tiling and the Robinson square tilings. Thus the scope of the cut and project formalism is considerably larger than is usually supposed. Applying the powerful consequences of model sets we derive the diffractive nature of these tilings.

description: A lattice polytope $\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is called a locally anti-blocking polytope if for any closed orthant $\mathbb{R}^d_{\varepsilon}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $\mathcal{P} \cap \mathbb{R}^d_{\varepsilon}$ is unimodularly equivalent to an anti-blocking polytope by reflections of coordinate hyperplanes. In the present paper, we give a formula for the $h^*$-polynomials of locally anti-blocking lattice polytopes. In particular, we discuss the $γ$-positivity of the $h^*$-polynomials of locally anti-blocking reflexive polytopes.

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht, wie sich die Bezeichnung Israels als Apartheidregime und der süd-afrikanische Anti-Apartheidkampf zu einem grundlegenden Element des kollektiven Deutungsrahmens palästinensischer Widerstandsaktivist_innen entwickeln konnte. Anhand von Theorien über die Diffusion von Ideen zwischen verschiedenen sozialen Bewegungen wurde der Übertragungsprozess in fünf Teilaspekte untergliedert: 1) die Loslösung und Abstrahierung des Konzepts von seinem südafrikanischen Kontext, 2) die Übertragung auf Israel/Palästina, 3) der Wandel des Bewegungskontextes, der mit der Übertragung des Konzepts einherging, 4) die strategischen Interessen an einer Übertragung und 5) die sogenannten „Links“ zwischen südafrikanischem und palästinensischem Widerstand. Die Analyse stützt sich auf narrative Interviews mit Aktivist_innen des zivilen Widerstands, die mit wissensoziologisch- hermeneutischen Methoden ausgewertet wurden.

description: We propose a method for measuring parity violation in neutral atoms. It is an adaptation of a seminal work by Fortson [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 70}, 2383 (1993)], proposing a scheme for a single trapped ion. In our version, a large sample of neutral atoms should be localised in an optical lattice overlapping a grid of detection sites, all tailored as the single site in Fortson's work. The methodology is of general applicability, but as an example we estimate the achievable signal in an experiment probing a nuclear spin independent parity violation on the line $6\mathrm{s}\,^2\mathrm{S}_{1/2}$--$5\mathrm{d}\,^2\mathrm{D}_{3/2}$ in $^{133}$Cs. The projected result is based on realistic parameters and \textit{ab initio} calculations of transition amplitudes, using the relativistic coupled-cluster method. The final result is a predicted spectroscopic signature, evidencing parity violation, of the order of 1 Hz, for a sample of $10^8$ atoms. We show that a total interrogation time of 30000 s should suffice for achieving a precision of the order of 0.1\% --- surpassing previous determinations of the weak charge in Cs by at least a factor of five.
