description: We describe three new species of landfrogs, genus Pristimantis, from near the summit of Mt. Kopinang, one of the several high points of the Wokomung Massif, a large horseshoe-shaped tepui (= mesa) in west-central Guyana. Pristimantis koki n. sp. is known from 1,067 to 1,525 m elevation. It is characterized by small-sized adults averaging 12.4 mm SVL (snout-vent length) in males and 18.4 mm in females; a pointed, depressed, elongated snout; lack of an obvious tympanum, vocal slit, or sac; and diagnostically black pigment prominently arranged around the anus fringed by light pigment. When handled, P. koki seems to emit volatile organic compounds and leaves a slightly numbing taste at the base of the human tongue. Pristimantis kopinangae n. sp. is known from three specimens collected at approx. 1,385 m elevation on the Wokomung Massif and two specimens from slightly higher in elevation on Mt. Ayanganna. About the size of most Pristimantis inhabiting the Guyana uplands and highlands (20-30 mm SVL), it is characterized by 2-3 light yellow inguinal flash-mark blotches, short broadly round snout, large eye with a blue iris, white skin of chin and areolate belly with dark brown vermiculations; and absence of a tympanum. Pristimantis kalamandeenae n. sp. is known from three specimens collected on the Wokomung Massif including an amplexing pair at approx. 1,550 m elevation. Similar in size to P. kopinangae, it is characterized by an acuminate snout, black iris, obvious tympanum, and uniform tan pigmentation dorsally after dark that becomes uniformly dark brown in daytime. Phylogenetic results show that P. koki and P. kopinangae are sister species and are members of a larger assemblage of related species endemic to the Pantepui Region within the P. unistrigatus species group. Pristimantis kalamandeenae is not closely related to these species, instead forming a clade with the P. lacrimosus species group. The three new species occur in sympatry with at least five other Pristimantis species on the Wokomung Massif, the greatest known Pristimantis species richness on a single tepui of the Guiana Shield.

description: The problem of f-divergence estimation is important in the fields of machine learning, information theory, and statistics. While several nonparametric divergence estimators exist, relatively few have known convergence properties. In particular, even for those estimators whose MSE convergence rates are known, the asymptotic distributions are unknown. We establish the asymptotic normality of a recently proposed ensemble estimator of f-divergence between two distributions from a finite number of samples. This estimator has MSE convergence rate of O(1/T), is simple to implement, and performs well in high dimensions. This theory enables us to perform divergence-based inference tasks such as testing equality of pairs of distributions based on empirical samples. We experimentally validate our theoretical results and, as an illustration, use them to empirically bound the best achievable classification error.

description: Reward learning informs adaptive behaviors that allow us to advantageously engage with our environment; however, this learning can become maladaptive in some individuals and result in disordered behaviors like compulsive eating or drug-dependency. While the behavioral and neural substrates of reward learning are well established in males, much less attention has been given to these same systems in females. As females are at increased risk of disordered reward-seeking and female sex steroid hormones are potent modulators of the neural circuitry that underlies reward learning, developing a thorough understanding of how female hormonal states modulate this type of learning will help inform the development of individual-specific therapeutic interventions. In this dissertation, the findings of several studies using rat models of the estrous cycle in both food- and drug-learning are presented. Two aspects of reward learning are explored: renewal of extinguished conditioned food-seeking behavior, and conditioned place preference for amphetamine (AMP). Both paradigms provide novel methodologies for considering endogenous gonadal hormone states as a modulator of female conditioned responding and explore underlying neural mechanisms. Each experiment also considers conditioned orienting behavior as a potential indicator of individual differences in reward learning and memory. The experiments outlined here (1) consider the estrous cycle in the renewal of extinguished food-seeking, (2) examine estrous cycle modulation of immediate early gene Arc mRNA activity following exposure to separate learning contexts in the renewal paradigm, (3) consider conditioned orienting as a predictor of AMP place preference in female rats and, (4) modulate the estrous cycle with hormonal contraceptives to observe subsequent AMP place preference and related response measures. Behaviorally, a consistent result was found wherein the stage of the estrous cycle associated with high endogenous sex steroid hormone levels (i.e., proestrus or P) stimulated female conditioned responding (either increasing the likelihood of renewed food-seeking or contributing to increased drug preference and hedonic drug responsivity). Functionally, P modulated activity in the brain either in dopamine cells or in downstream targets such as the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. These effects depended on the specific learning windows when cycle-stage was considered. From this research it is apparent that the hormonal state of the female learner contributes to behavioral outcomes.

description: We prove the existence of $L^2$ solutions to the Helmholtz equation $(-Δ- 1)u = f$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ assuming the given data $f$ belongs to $L^{(2n+2)/(n+5)}({\mathbb R}^n)$ and satisfies the "Fredholm condition" that $\hat{f}$ vanishes on the unit sphere. This problem, and similar results for the perturbed Helmholtz equation $(-Δ-1)u = -Vu + f$, are connected to the Limiting Absorption Principle for Schrödinger operators. The same techniques are then used to prove that a wide range of $L^p \mapsto L^q$ bounds for Bochner-Riesz multipliers are improved if one considers their action on the closed subspace of functions whose Fourier transform vanishes on the unit sphere.

description: Polar-ring galaxies are multi-spin systems, showing star formation in a blue late-type component, perpendicular to a red early-type one, revealing how galaxy formation can sometimes occur in successive steps. We perform two-dimensional decomposition in the $g$, $r$, $i$ bandpasses of 50 polar-ring galaxies (PRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Each object was fit with a Sérsic host galaxy and a Sérsic ring. Our general results are: (i) The central (host) galaxies of the PRGs are non-dwarf sub-$L^{\ast}$ galaxies with colors typical for early-type galaxies. (ii) Polar structures in our sample are, on average, fainter and bluer than their host galaxies. (iii) In most galaxies, the stellar mass M$_*$ of the polar component is not negligible in comparison with that of the host. (iv) The distributions of the host galaxies on the size -- luminosity and Kormendy diagrams are shifted by $\sim 1^m$ to fainter magnitudes in comparison with E/S0 galaxies. It means that the PRGs hosts are more similar to quenched disks than to ordinary early-type galaxies. (v) All the PRGs in our sample are detected in mid-infrared by WISE, and we derive from the 22$μ$m luminosity their star formation rate (SFR). Their SFR/M$_*$ ratio is larger than for the early-type galaxy sample of Atlas$^{\rm 3D}$, showing that the star forming disk brings a significant contribution to the new stars. Globally, PRGs appear frequently on the green valley in the mass-color diagram, revealing the symbiotic character between a red-sequence host and a blue cloud ring.

Subjects: Other philosophy and religious studies not elsewhere classified

description: A testimony is in an interdependent relationship with the truth, through the mediation of faith-trust and persuasion. However, the notion of truth has changed: it had a functional role in Ancient Greece but it transformed into a person in the Christian society. The following works are examined as ‘truthful’ witnesses: Antigone by Sophocles, the Apology of Socrates by Plato, and the Gospel of John in the New Testament. The aim of this paper is to investigate the ‘path’ the witness takes from the classical era to the early Christian centuries, in order to reveal the different approaches and individual representations of testimony. The method selected is an analysis of the source texts themselves, the study of textual references, and a review of the related literature. The perceptions and beliefs of people of that time – as seen in the texts - regarding the testimony of truth create an image of their world.

description: A future holographic screen is a hypersurface of indefinite signature, foliated by marginally trapped surfaces with area $A(r)$. We prove that $A(r)$ grows strictly monotonically. Future holographic screens arise in gravitational collapse. Past holographic screens exist in our own universe; they obey an analogous area law. Both exist more broadly than event horizons or dynamical horizons. Working within classical General Relativity, we assume the null curvature condition and certain generiticity conditions. We establish several nontrivial intermediate results. If a surface $σ$ divides a Cauchy surface into two disjoint regions, then a null hypersurface $N$ that contains $σ$ splits the entire spacetime into two disjoint portions: the future-and-interior, $K^+$; and the past-and-exterior, $K^-$. If a family of surfaces $σ(r)$ foliate a hypersurface, while flowing everywhere to the past or exterior, then the future-and-interior $K^+(r)$ grows monotonically under inclusion. If the surfaces $σ(r)$ are marginally trapped, we prove that the evolution must be everywhere to the past or exterior, and the area theorem follows. A thermodynamic interpretation as a Second Law is suggested by the Bousso bound, which relates $A(r)$ to the entropy on the null slices $N(r)$ foliating the spacetime. In a companion letter, we summarize the proof and discuss further implications.

description: Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected nanoscale objects, which are promising building blocks for novel magnetic and spintronic devices. Here, we investigate the dynamics of a skyrmion driven by a spin wave in a magnetic nanowire. It is found that (i) the skyrmion is first accelerated and then decelerated exponentially; (ii) it can turn L-corners with both right and left turns; and (iii) it always turns left (right) when the skyrmion number is positive (negative) in the T- and Y-junctions. Our results will be the basis of skyrmionic devices driven by a spin wave.

Positive Youth Development

description: Sport is deemed by many researchers and practitioners as a favourable context to foster positive youth development (PYD), including the acquisition of life skills (Petitpas et al., 2005). However, researchers have cautioned for vigilance before assuming with assurance that sport leads to positive developmental outcomes (Coakley, 2011). Consequently, it is important to understand how sport leaders can facilitate the development and transfer of life skills. In the context of high school sport in Canada, teacher-coaches are considered essential adults in the delivery of school sport programs. Using Pierce et al.’s (2017) life skills transfer model, the present thesis explored the contextual and psychological factors influencing the development and transfer of life skills. An intervention was designed, using action research principles, with two high school teacher-coaches. Data were collected via teacher-coach pre- and post-intervention interviews, as well as student-athlete post-intervention interviews (i.e., five student-athletes per teacher-coach). Further, data were gathered through observation, and audio recording of each life skill implementation, as well as a researcher reflective journal. The results indicated that teacher-coaches played an important role in influencing contextual and psychological factors, in both the learning and the transfer context, which shaped student-athletes’ life skills development and transfer. The study has practical implications for coach education programs, suggesting the benefits of on the ground support to provide coaches and teacher-coaches with the necessary tools to promote PYD.

description: We present a proof-of-concept analysis of photometric redshifts with Bayesian priors on physical properties of galaxies. This concept is particularly suited for upcoming/on-going large imaging surveys, in which only several broad-band filters are available and it is hard to break some of the degeneracies in the multi-color space. We construct model templates of galaxies using a stellar population synthesis code and apply Bayesian priors on physical properties such as stellar mass and star formation rate. These priors are a function of redshift and they effectively evolve the templates with time in an observationally motivated way. We demonstrate that the priors help reduce the degeneracy and deliver significantly improved photometric redshifts. Furthermore, we show that a template error function, which corrects for systematic flux errors in the model templates as a function of rest-frame wavelength, delivers further improvements. One great advantage of our technique is that we simultaneously measure redshifts and physical properties of galaxies in a fully self-consistent manner, unlike the two-step measurements with different templates often performed in the literature. One may rightly worry that the physical priors bias the inferred galaxy properties, but we show that the bias is smaller than systematic uncertainties inherent in physical properties inferred from the SED fitting and hence is not a major issue. We will extensively test and tune the priors in the on-going Hyper Suprime-Cam survey and will make the code publicly available in the future.

description: La contribution de programmes communautaires à l’éducation à la citoyenneté des jeunes au Québec est encore peu documentée. De plus, les jeunes femmes sont souvent négligées dans les études sur la citoyenneté des jeunes et au sein des initiatives d’éducation à la citoyenneté. Basée sur les résultats d’une enquête ethnographique effectuée dans un programme jeunesse féministe non-mixte, cette thèse cherche à contribuer au développement de connaissances sur les apprentissages et l’expérience citoyenne des jeunes en tenant compte de l’importance du croisement du genre et de l’âge. L’analyse démontre que l’approche pédagogique féministe des facilitatrices du programme favorise le développement de savoirs et d’une identité féministes chez les participantes, dans un modèle de citoyenneté orientée vers la justice sociale (Westheimer, 2015). Le programme occupe ainsi un rôle d’éducation à la citoyenneté complémentaire au cadre scolaire, où la critique des discours dominants et des systèmes d’oppression est peu souvent enseignée.

description: ABSTRACT: Situated within an important nexus for many human–animalrelationships is the profession of veterinary nursing, a profession inwhich burnout is an increasing problem, affecting wellbeing andretention and, consequently, animal welfare. Self-care strategies canreduce  the  effects of burnout in the short term. However,organizational interventions are required to achieve long termchange. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of burnoutin veterinary nurses and identify organizational risk factors, inaccordance with the Areas of Worklife model, that must beaddressed to reduce burnout in this population. Seven databasesand Google Scholar were searched using terms related to“burnout”and“veterinary nurses.”Primary empirical studies published inEnglish that examined organizational factors related to burnout inveterinary nurses were eligible for inclusion. Article screening andselection was completed by two reviewers and quality assessmentwas carried out using two validated quality assessment tools.Twelve articles were identified: nine cross-sectional surveys andthree mixed-methods studies. Available data were insufficient toaccurately determine burnout prevalence, but it appears thatveterinary nurses are at moderate to high risk of developingburnout. Organizational risk factors for burnout in veterinary nurseswere identified in all six Areas of Worklife domains (Workload,Control, Reward, Community, Fairness, and Values). Common riskfactors  include  high  workload,  low  control  and  autonomy,underutilization, low remuneration, co-worker incivility, inequitabletreatment,  poor  work–life  balance,  and  exposure  to  animalsuffering,  euthanasia,  and  death.  Recommended  managementstrategies include increased opportunities for skill utilization anddevelopment,  workload  and  task  adjustments,  and  increasedschedule control. However, the extent to which these strategies areeffective in individuals and practicable for organizations remainspoorly understood. Future research should address how these riskfactors impact individuals and organizations to better informorganizational intervention strategies

description: This article introduces the Database for Estimation of Road Network Performance (DERNP) to enable wide-scale estimation of relevant Road Network Performance (RNP) factors for major German cities. The methodology behind DERNP is based on a randomized route sampling procedure that utilizes the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) in combination with the tile-based HERE Maps Traffic API v7 and a digital elevation model provided by the European Union’s Earth Observation Programme Copernicus to generate a large set of independent and realistic routes throughout OpenStreetMap road networks. By evaluating these routes using the PHEMLight5 framework, a comprehensive list of RNP parameters is estimated and translated into polynomial regression models for general usage. The applicability of these estimations is demonstrated based on a case study of four major German cities. This case study considers network characteristics in terms of detours, infrastructure, traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions. Our results show that DERNP and its underlying randomized route sampling methodology overcomes major limitations of previous wide-scale RNP approaches, enabling efficient, easy-to-use, and region-specific RNP comparisons.

description: We have succeeded in obtaining magnetized equilibrium states with differential rotation and differential toroidal magnetic fields. If an internal toroidal field of a proto-neutron star is wound up from the initial poloidal magnetic field by differential rotation, the distribution of the toroidal magnetic field is determined by the profile of this differential rotation. However, the distributions of the toroidal fields in all previous magnetized equilibrium studies do not represent the magnetic winding by the differential rotation of the star. In this paper, we investigate a formulation of a differential toroidal magnetic field that represents the magnetic field wound up by differential rotation. We have developed two functional forms of differential toroidal fields which correspond to a v-constant and a j-constant field in analogy to differential rotations. As the degree of the differential becomes very high, the toroidal magnetic field becomes highly localized and concentrated near the rotational axis. Such a differential toroidal magnetic field would suppress the low-T/|W| instability more efficiently even if the total magnetic field energy is much smaller than that of a non-differential toroidal magnetic field.

description: Emerging manufacturing technologies, including 3D printing and additive layer manufacturing, ofer scope for making slender heterogeneous structures with complex geometry. Modern applications include tapered sandwich beams employed in the aeronautical industry, wind turbine blades and concrete beams used in construction. It is noteworthy that state-of-the-art closed form solutions for stresses are often excessively simple to be representative of real laminated tapered beams. For example, centroidal variation with respect to the neutral axis is neglected, and the transverse direct stress component is disregarded. Also, non-classical terms arise due to interactions between stifness and external load distributions. Another drawback is that the external load is assumed to react uniformly through the cross-section in classical beam formulations, which is an inaccurate assumption for slender structures loaded on only a sub-section of the entire cross-section. To address these limitations, a simple and efcient yet accurate analytical stress recovery method is presented for laminated non-prismatic beams with arbitrary cross-sectional shapes under layerwise body forces and traction loads. Moreover, closed-form solutions are deduced for rectangular cross-sections. The proposed method invokes Cauchy stress equilibrium followed by implementing appropriate interfacial boundary conditions. The main novelties comprise the 2D transverse stress feld recovery considering centroidal variation with respect to the neutral axis, application of layerwise external loads, and consideration of efects where stifness and external load distributions difer. A state of plane stress under small linear-elastic strains is assumed, for cases where beam thickness taper is restricted to 15◦. The model is validated by comparison with fnite element analysis and relevant analytical formulations.

Optimal control of circular cylinder wakes using long control horizons

description: The classical problem of suppressing vortex shedding in the wake of a circular cylinder by using body rotation is revisited in an adjoint-based optimal control framework. The cylinder's unsteady and fully unconstrained rotation rate is optimized at Reynolds numbers between 75 and 200 and over horizons that are longer than in previous studies, where they are typically of the order of a vortex shedding period or shorter. In the best configuration, the drag is reduced by 19%, the vortex shedding is effectively suppressed, and this low drag state is maintained with minimal cylinder rotation after transients. Unlike open-loop control, the optimal control is shown to maintain a specific phase relationship between the actuation and the shedding in order to stabilize the wake. A comparison is also given between the performance of optimizations for different Reynolds numbers, cost functions, and horizon lengths. It is shown that the long horizons used are necessary in order to stabilize the vortex shedding efficiently.

description: We report density functional theory calculations for Mo$_3$S$_7$(dmit)$_3$. We derive an ab initio tight-binding model from overlaps of Wannier orbitals; finding a layered model with interlayer hopping terms $\sim3/4$ the size of the in-plane terms. The in-plane Hamiltonian interpolates the kagomé and honeycomb lattices. It supports states localized to dodecahedral rings within the plane, which populate one-dimensional (1D) bands and lead to a quasi-1D spin-one model on a layered honeycomb lattice once interactions are included. Two lines of Dirac cones also cross the Fermi energy.

Jet asymmetry and momentum imbalance from $2 \to 2$ and $2 \to 3$ partonic processes in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

description: We study momentum imbalance as a function of jet asymmetry in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. To implement parton production during the collision, we include all Leading Order (LO) $2\to 2$ and $2\to 3$ parton processes in pQCD. The produced partons lose energy within the quark gluon plasma and hadronize collinearly when they leave it. The energy and momentum deposited into the plasma is described using linear viscous hydrodynamics with a constant energy loss per unit length and a total energy loss given by a Gaussian probability centered around a mean value $\bar{\mathcal{E}}$ and a half-width $Δ{\mathcal{E}}$. We argue that the shape of the asymmetry observed by the CERN-CMS Collaboration can indeed be attributed to parton energy loss in the medium and that a good description of data is achieved when one includes a slight enhancement coming from the contribution of $2\to 3$ parton processes that modifies the asymmetry distribution of the dijet events. We compare our results to CMS data for the most central collisions and study different values for $\bar{\mathcal{E}}$ and $Δ{\mathcal{E}}$.

description: Compressed sensing theory is slowly making its way to solve more and more astronomical inverse problems. We address here the application of sparse representations, convex optimization and proximal theory to radio interferometric imaging. First, we expose the theory behind interferometric imaging, sparse representations and convex optimization, and second, we illustrate their application with numerical tests with SASIR, an implementation of the FISTA, a Forward-Backward splitting algorithm hosted in a LOFAR imager. Various tests have been conducted in Garsden et al., 2015. The main results are: i) an improved angular resolution (super resolution of a factor ~2) with point sources as compared to CLEAN on the same data, ii) correct photometry measurements on a field of point sources at high dynamic range and iii) the imaging of extended sources with improved fidelity. SASIR provides better reconstructions (five time less residuals) of the extended emission as compared to CLEAN. With the advent of large radiotelescopes, there is scope for improving classical imaging methods with convex optimization methods combined with sparse representations.
