description: After reviewing some of the fundamental aspects of Drinfel'd doubles and Poisson-Lie T-duality, we describe the three-dimensional isotropic rigid rotator on $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ starting from a non-Abelian deformation of the natural carrier space of its Hamiltonian description on $T^*SU(2) \simeq SU(2) \ltimes \mathbb{R}^3$. A new model is then introduced on the dual group $SB(2,\mathbb{C})$, within the Drinfel'd double description of $SL(2,\mathbb{C})=SU(2) \bowtie SB(2,\mathbb{C})$. The two models are analyzed from the Poisson-Lie duality point of view, and a doubled generalized action is built with $TSL(2,\mathbb{C})$ as carrier space. The aim is to explore within a simple case the relations between Poisson-Lie symmetry, Doubled Geometry and Generalized Geometry. In fact, all the mentioned structures are discussed, such as a Poisson realization of the $C$-brackets for the generalized bundle $T \oplus T^*$ over $SU(2)$ from the Poisson algebra of the generalized model. The two dual models exhibit many features of Poisson-Lie duals and from the generalized action both of them can be respectively recovered by gauging one of its symmetries.

description: PROTOSPHAERONISCUS SCHMALFUSS, 1980
 Type species: Protosphaeroniscus tertiarius Schmalfuss, 1980.
 Diagnosis
Endoantennal conglobation. Hind corners of coxal plate 1 without schisma. Pleotelson shorter than uropod protopodites; exopodites inserted on their inner corner. Apical organ of second antennae longer than apical flagellar article; flagellum three-jointed. Male pereiopod 7 merus with frontal ridge. Apex of male pleopod 1 endopodite bent laterally.
 PROTOSPHAERONISCUS TERTIARIUS SCHMALFUSS, 1980
 Protosphaeroniscus tertiarius – Schmalfuss (2003).
 Description
 Approximately 6 × 2.5 mm. Eyes with c. 12 ommatidia. Pleotelson triangular with straight sides.
 Distribution
Hispaniola, fossil enclosed in Dominican Amber, age probably 25–30 million years (Schmalfuss, 1980).
 Remark
 Schmalfuss (1980) proposed a sister-group relationship between Protosphaeroniscus and a clade composed of Circoniscus, Sphaeroniscus and Spherarmadillo. The published description does not allow determination of the place of P. tertiarius in the phylogenetic hypothesis (cladogram) constructed in the present study. It seems to have had an endoantennal conglobation ability; the first coxal plate has a ridge, but not a schisma, on the inner side. The eyes are well developed, but there is no transverse furrow seen on the drawing (Schmalfuss, 1980, fig. 4). The latter would exclude P. tertiarius from clade 14 of the present article, if the lack of the furrow is regarded as primary. In the case of Sphaeroniscus pilosus, the lack of the transverse furrow has to be seen as secondary, because the other species of the genus Sphaeroniscus, and all other species of clade 14, which includes Sphaeroniscus, have a transverse furrow. Therefore, a close relationship to Circoniscus and Sphaeroniscus cannot be excluded (Spherarmadillo belongs to a more distant clade, according to the present analysis).

description: Using semi-analytic modeling techniques, we calculate the luminosity function of galaxy populations residing in cold dark matter halos of different mass. We pay particular attention to the influence of the reionization of the Universe on the number of faint galaxies and to the effects of dynamical friction and tidal limitation of satellites on the number of bright galaxies. We find substantial differences in the shapes of the galaxy luminosity functions in halos of different mass which reflect generic features of the cold dark matter model of galaxy formation and thus offer the opportunity to test it. We then consider how the individual halo luminosity functions combine together to produce the global luminosity function. Surprisingly, the global function ends up having a shallower faint end slope than those of the constituent halo luminosity functions. We compare our model predictions with the limited datasets compiled by Trentham & Hodgkin. We find good agreement with the luminosity functions measured in the Virgo and Coma clusters but significant disagreement with the luminosity functions measured in the Local Group and Ursa Minor cluster. We speculate on possible inadequacies in our modeling and in the existing observational samples. The luminosity functions of galaxies in groups and clusters identified in the 2dF and SDSS galaxy redshift surveys offer the prospect of testing galaxy formation models in detail.

subject: International mobility

description: Although the movement of individuals across national boundaries is not a new phenomenon, the extent and complexity of expatriation and international mobility has intensified in recent decades. Studies which have examined the challenges faced by expatriates have consistently highlighted that individuals who live and work in unfamiliar cross-cultural environments tend to experience expatriate failure and to underperform; often leading to detrimental financial and non-financial effects for both expatriates and organisations. While it has been argued that organisationally-provided cross-cultural training (CCT) and support can assist in minimising expatriate failure and its effects, much of this research has primarily focused on organisationally-assigned expatriates (OAEs). The current research extends prior studies by examining the logistical and cross-cultural self-preparation of self-initiated expatriates (SIEs). SIEs comprise a large and significant cohort of expatriates who, unlike OAEs, independently and voluntarily relocate abroad to live and work. Little is known about the selfpreparation (activities undertaken independently and voluntarily to assist in living and working in another culture) that expatriates in general or SIEs, in particular, undertake.

On some implications of the BaBar data on the $γ^*η'$ transition form factor

description: At leading-twist accuracy the form factors for the transitions from a virtual photon to the $η$ or $η'$ can be expanded into a power series of the variable $ω$, being related to the difference of two photon virtualities. The series possess the remarkable feature that only the Gegenbauer coefficients of the meson distribution amplitudes of order $l\leq m$ contribute to the term $\sim ω^m$. Thus, for $ω\to 0$ only the asymptotic meson distribution amplitude contributes, allowing for a test of the mixing of the $η$ and $η'$ decay constants. Employing the Gegenbauer coefficients determined in analysis of the form factors in the real photon limit, we present predictions for the $γ^*η$ and $γ^*η'$ form factors and compare them to the BaBar data.

description: This descriptive case study aims to understand the long-term influence of participation in a theatre-arts co-curricular program on secondary school students. The Theatre-Arts Program (TAP) incorporated a range of co-curricular activities designed for one school context. By examining student, parent and personal reflections, critical experiences from within the TAP program emerged as influencing participation and students' lives beyond school. The study is retrospective in nature, drawing on data sources, including focus group interviews and one-on-one interviews with former student participants and parents. Interview data provided insight into individual participants' perceptions of the ongoing influence of TAP in their lives, professionally and personally, for five- to ten-years postschool. Documents used to confirm participant involvement and recollections and also used to stimulate discussion and memories of events include school publications and memorabilia. The researcher also drew on personal reflections and memories to reflexively interpret the interview transcripts. An understanding of the benefits identified by individual students has emerged through analysis and evaluation of this data. McCarthy et al.'s (2004) framework for understanding the benefits of the arts provides a field to map the benefits. Furthermore, the data analysis has identified aspects of the program with the greatest influence on post-school pathways and personal attributes. There is limited reference to theatre-in-education, school theatre societies, productions, and the annual school musical within the research literature. This research focuses on students involved in theatre-making and aims to add to existing research to influence policy and practice relating to co-curricular offerings in drama.

 B e m e r k u n g e n Diese Art ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten selten geworden. Die Larven leben in Mähwiesen in Blütenköpfen von Centaurea jacea, wo sie sich zwischen Juni und August entwickeln. Diese Wiesen werden meistens während der Entwicklung der Larven geschnitten und damit werden die Larven mit dem Mähgut weggeführt. Der Rückgang hat also eher mit den veränderten, intensivierten Bewirtschaftungsmethoden als mit der Seltenheit der Wirtspflanze zu tun. Man findet die Art heute selten am Rande der Wiesen und auf Brachflächen, die unmittelbar an die Mähwiesen anstossen.

Radiative neutrino model with semi-annihilation dark matter

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a Two-Loop induced radiative neutrino model with hidden gauged $U(1)$ symmetry, in which a dark matter of Dirac fermion arises. The relic density gets contribution from annihilation and semi-annihilation due to a residual $\mathbb{Z}_3$ parity. After imposing the requirement of neutrino oscillation data and lepton flavour violation bounds, we find out that the semi-annihilation plays a crucial role in order to satisfy the relic density constraint $0.117 < Ωh^2 < 0.123$, by proceeding near either one of two deconstructive scalar resonances. Our numerical analysis demonstrates the allowed region for the DM-Scalar coupling with the DM mass in $(80, 400)$ GeV.

description: A new epoch of VLA measurements of Kepler's supernova remnant was obtained to make accurate measurements of the radio spectral index variations and polarization. We have compared these new radio images with Halpha, infrared, and X-ray data to better understand the three dimensional structure and dynamics of Kepler, and to better understand the physical relationships between the various nonthermal and thermal plasmas. Spatial variations in the radio spectral index from -0.85 to -0.6 are observed between 6 cm and 20 cm. There is a strong correspondence between the radial and azimuthal profiles of the radio, X-ray, Halpha, and infrared emission in different locations around the remnant although there is no single, global pattern. Spectral tomography shows that the flat- and steep-spectrum radio emissions have distinct structures. The flat-spectrum radio emission is found either at a larger radius than or coincident with the steep-spectrum emission. We interpret these spectral components as tracing forward- and reverse-shocked material, respectively. The Halpha and IR images are very similar. Their leading edges are coincident and are either in front of or coincident with the leading edges of the X-ray and radio emission. The X-ray emission matches the Halpha and IR emission in places, and in other places traces the steep-spectrum radio emission. In the north there is also an anticorrelation in the azimuthal profiles around the remnant of the flat-spectrum radio emission and the thermal X-ray, Halpha, and IR emissions. We suggest that this could be due to a relative weakening of the particle acceleration at the forward shock due to Alfven wave damping in regions of high density.

subject: Pedagogical reasoning

subject: Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK)

description: Professor Lee Shulman (1987b) introduced a view of teaching that encompassed a series of six steps: comprehension; transformation; instruction; evaluation; reflection and new comprehension, which he termed pedagogical reasoning. He suggested an image of teaching as the exchange of ideas from the teacher, who must comprehend an idea to be able to shape and tailor it, in order for the student to grasp and understand the idea. This complex interplay of judgment and action is at the heart of pedagogical reasoning. Since 1986, there have been very few published research studies that have either tested or reported the use of Shulman’s Model of Pedagogical Reasoning and Action to describe the realities of teaching. It could be suggested that many researchers could not move beyond referring to Shulman’s other important contribution in proposing pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). What they seemed to have missed was how Shulman proposed that PCK was developed through the processes of pedagogical reasoning. Shulman provided limited insight into the teachers studied as part of the Knowledge Growth in Teaching project undertaken at Stanford University. Those teachers were described in limited vignettes where Nancy, Colleen, Judy, Alan, George and Frank (Shulman, 1987b; Shulman & Sykes, 1986; Wilson, Shulman, & Richert, 1987) were portrayed to help in understanding the intricacies of pedagogical reasoning. This study attempts to revisit Shulman’s original work to understand how current teachers pedagogically reason, and, in particular, to understand the impact of digital technologies on their pedagogical reasoning. This research project used Shulman’s view of teaching as a theoretical starting point to pose the question: How do teachers pedagogically reason with digital technologies?

description: We have detected the [S IV] 10.5 micron and [Ne II] 12.8 micron fine-structure lines in the halo population planetary nebula (PN) DdDm 1, and set upper limits on their intensities in the halo PN H 4-1. We also present new measurements of optical lines from various ions of S, Ne, O, and H for DdDm 1, based on a high-dispersion spectrum covering the spectral range 3800 A to 1 micron. These nebulae have similar O/H abundances, (O/H) = 1e-4, but S/H and Ne/H are about half an order of magnitude lower in H 4-1 than in DdDm 1; thus H 4-1 appears to belong to a more metal-poor population. This supports previous suggestions that PNe arising from metal-poor progenitor stars can have elevated oxygen abundances due to internal nucleosynthesis and convective dredge-up. It is generally accepted that high abundances of carbon in many PNe results from self-enrichment. To the extent that oxygen can also be affected, the use of nebular O/H values to infer the overall metallicity of a parent stellar population (for example, in external galaxies) may be suspect, particularly for low metallicities.

description: Systems for ML inference are widely deployed today, but they typically optimize ML inference workloads using techniques designed for conventional data serving workloads and miss critical opportunities to leverage the statistical nature of ML. In this paper, we present Willump, an optimizer for ML inference that introduces two statistically-motivated optimizations targeting ML applications whose performance bottleneck is feature computation. First, Willump automatically cascades feature computation for classification queries: Willump classifies most data inputs using only high-value, low-cost features selected through empirical observations of ML model performance, improving query performance by up to 5x without statistically significant accuracy loss. Second, Willump accurately approximates ML top-K queries, discarding low-scoring inputs with an automatically constructed approximate model and then ranking the remainder with a more powerful model, improving query performance by up to 10x with minimal accuracy loss. Willump automatically tunes these optimizations' parameters to maximize query performance while meeting an accuracy target. Moreover, Willump complements these statistical optimizations with compiler optimizations to automatically generate fast inference code for ML applications. We show that Willump improves the end-to-end performance of real-world ML inference pipelines curated from major data science competitions by up to 16x without statistically significant loss of accuracy.

description: We present a first-principles-based multiscale simulation framework for quantitative predictions of the high-energy part of the Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy (UPS) spectra of amorphous molecular solids. The approach combines a deposition simulation, many-body Green's Function Theory, polarizable film-embedding, and multimode electron-vibrational coupling and provides a molecular-level view on the interactions and processes giving rise to spectral features. This insight helps bridging the current gap between experimental UPS and theoretical models as accurate analyses are hampered by the energetic disorder, surface-sensitivity of the measurement and the complexity of excitation processes. In particular this is relevant for the unambiguous determination the highest occupied molecular orbital energy (HOMO) of organic semiconductors, a key quantity for tailoring and engineering new opto-electronic devices. We demonstrate the capabilities of the simulation approach studying the spectrum of two isomers of 2-methyl-9,10-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)anthracene (MADN) as archetypical materials showing a clearly separated HOMO peak in experiment. The agreement with experiment is excellent, suggesting that our approach provides a route for determining the HOMO energy with an accuracy better than 0.1eV.

description: In heavy-ion collisions, momentum-dependent pair correlations can be characterized by a principal component analysis (PCA), in which subleading modes are expected to reveal new information on flow fluctuations. However, we find that, as currently measured, these modes can be dominated by multiplicity fluctuations, which serve as an unwanted background. Here, we propose new PCA observables that are robust against multiplicity fluctuations and isolate novel sources of flow fluctuations, thus being suited to provide fresh insight into the initial stages of the system at small length scales.

description: The development of bioactive materials that can mimic bone tissue has been an area of active research to try and improve the process of implant integration. Wool-derived keratin, a readily available natural polymer, has been shown in vivo to enhance bone healing and as such may be a novel material for use in the development of biomimetic devices. Coating titanium with keratin, therefore, may be a promising approach to achieve this, but effective bonding between keratin and titanium and the molecular response of osteoblasts to keratin has not been fully delineated. Using aminosilane (APTES) and glutaraldehyde (GA) to prepare the titanium surface, two coating strategies were employed in the present study i.e., solvent casting and molecular grafting, to try and improve the coating's chemical and mechanical properties and improve the interaction between keratin and adherent osteoblastic cells. This thesis had three main goals. First, to characterize the physiochemical and mechanical properties of the keratin coating using various analytical techniques. Second, to evaluate the cytocompatibility of the keratin coating with osteoblastic MG-63 cells in vitro. Finally, to investigate the bone healing response to keratin-coated titanium in vivo using a rat calvarial defect model. [...]

description: The existence of cosmic superstrings may be probed by astronomical time domain surveys. When crossing the line of sight to point-like sources, strings produce a distinctive microlensing signature. We consider two avenues to hunt for a relic population of superstring loops: frequent monitoring of (1) stars in Andromeda, lensed by loops in the haloes of the Milky-Way and Andromeda and (2) supernovae at cosmological distances, lensed by loops in the intergalactic medium. We assess the potential of such experiments to detect and/or constrain strings with a range of tensions, $10^{-15} \lesssim G μ/c^2 \lesssim 10^{-6}$. The practical sensitivity is tied to cadence of observations which we explore in detail. We forecast that high-cadence monitoring of $\sim 10^5$ stars on the far side of Andromeda over a year-long period will detect microlensing events if $Gμ/c^2 \sim 10^{-13}$, while $\sim 10^6$ stars will detect events if $10^{-13.5}

description: We summarize photometric and spectroscopic observations of V463 Sct (Nova Sct 2000), which was originally thought to be a red variable. The spectrum taken on 2000 March 16.81 UT showed prominent emission lines with a FHWM of 990 km/s (H alpha). The light curve shows a conspicuous premaximum halt lasting at least for 24 d, and a late-phase flare-like maximum. The nova then started rapidly fading at a rate corresponding to t2 = 15 +/- 3 d. Long premaximum halts have been considered as a unique character of the "slowest" novae. The present observation, however, suggests that the long premaximum halts are not a unique character of the slowest novae, but a more general phenomenon spreading over a wider range of nova speed classes than has been previously believed. A recent interpretation of premaximum halts requires that the conditions of thermonuclear runaway was only marginally satisfied. Since such conditions are more difficult to meet in rapidly evolving novae, V463 Sct would provide an unique opportunity in testing this interpretation. The early post-outburst spectrum showed co-existence of Fe II lines and some forbidden lines, which suggests that substantial amount of material may have been ejected before the observed optical maximum. The impact of the modern global network (VSNET) on confirmatory processes of transient objects is briefly discussed.

title: Suicide in Australian Children: An Examination of Characteristics and Impact on Parents

Subjects: subject: Suicide in children
subject: Bereavement after suicide
subject: Parents of suicide children

description: While rare, suicide in children younger than 15 years is a leading cause of death globally. Childhood is presumed to be a time of happiness, with children often assumed incapable of suicide. Yet, most children understand the lethality and finality of suicidal acts by age eight. The significance of the current research lies in its focus on children. Literature has tended to focus on individuals aged 15+ years, and studies which do include children have predominately grouped children and adolescents together for analysis and discussion. No comprehensive studies on suicide in Australian children have been conducted so it is unknown what suicide risk factors are relevant. Suicide does not end with the suicidal act itself and individuals bereaved by suicide often experience a range of additional deleterious ramifications like guilt, blame, responsibility, rejection, and anger, intermingled with social responses such as social stigma and isolation. Few studies have examined the impact of a child suicide on bereaved parents, particularly the guilt, stigma, and responsibility associated with this type of death. Derived from an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project (LP0990918), the overall aim of this research program was to obtain a better understanding of the predictive factors between suicidal and non-suicidal children under the age of 15 years. An additional aim focused on the impact of the child’s suicide on parents and explores the differences and similarities in the grief experiences of parents bereaved by suicide compared to parents whose child died due to other external causes of death. In order to achieve this, the current research program involved three different, though complementary components, using both aggregate and individual-level data, employing both quantitative and qualitative methodology.
XMM-Newton observations of the nearby brown dwarf LP 944-20

description: The nearby (d=5.0 pc) brown dwarf LP944-20 was observed with the XMM-Newton satellite on 07 January 2001. The target was detected with the Optical Monitor (V=16.736$\pm$0.081), but it was not detected during the $\approx 48$ ks observation with the X-ray telescopes. We determine a $3σ$ upper limit for the X-ray emission from this object of $L_{X}<3.1 \times 10^{23}$ $ergs \cdot s^{-1}$, equivalent to a luminosity ratio upper limit of $\log{(L_{X}/L_{bol})} \le -6.28$. This measurement improves by a factor of 3 the previous \emph{Chandra} limit on the quiescent X-ray flux. This is the most sensitive limit ever obtained on the quiescent X-ray emission of a brown dwarf. Combining the XMM data with previous \emph{ROSAT} and \emph{Chandra} data, we derive flare duty cycles as a function of their luminosities. We find that very strong flares [Log$(L_X/L_{bol})>-$2.5] are very rare (less than 0.7% of the time). Flares like the one detected by Chandra [Log$(L_X/L_{bol})=-$4.1] have a duty cycle of about 6%, which is lower than the radio flare duty cycle ($\sim$13%). When compared with other M dwarfs, LP944-20 appears to be rather inactive in X-rays despite of its relative youth, fast rotation and its moderately strong activity at radio wavelengths.

description: Three-Dimensional Virtual World (3DVW) is one of the promising innovations in the field of information and communication technologies. A 3DVW is a 3D, computer-generated, internet-based, multimedia, simulated and graphical environment, usually running on the Web and intended for users to inhabit and interact via their own animated, graphical and digital self-representations which are called avatars. Through a computer device, users of virtual worlds are able to interact with the virtual environment or with other users in the virtual environment. 3DVWs have immersion and social media functionality. They include user-created content and they allow for user-defined purpose and a sense of presence. Users are able to navigate in and manipulate objects within the virtual environment. 3DVWs are of considerable importance and potential for the creation of the next generation of teaching and learning environments. This technology has been largely adopted to favour the educational setting. Over the last decade, there has been a remarkable interest in the educational communities in utilising virtual environments for teaching and learning. 3DVWs support a higher level of interactivity and richness in interaction, collaboration and communication than traditional media. They also have the potential to create engaging and meaningful experiences for learners.

description: A liquid Li vapour-box divertor is an attractive heat exhaust solution for future fusion reactors. Previous works have established the ability of vapour shielding to protect the wall, but it has not been possible to directly determine the effects of Li vapour on the plasma parameters. Experiments to investigate this were carried out in Magnum-PSI, which is able to generate a plasma with DEMO-divertor relevant conditions. 3D printed tungsten capillary porous structures filled with Li have been used as targets. A reciprocating Langmuir probe was used to determine electron temperature and density close to the target, while the power reduction to the coolant due to vapour shielding was increased from 0% to 50%. The Lamgmuir probe measurements directly determined an increase of density by up to 50% while electron temperature could be inferred to have dropped by up to 33% compared to the solid target reference case.
Extreme Slim Accretion Disks and Narrow Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies: the Nature of the soft X-ray Hump

description: We present a detailed model of an extreme slim disk (ESD) with a hot corona around a massive black hole with dimensionless accretion rate $\dotm$ in the range $2.5\ll \dotm\leq 100$. We assume that a fraction $f$ of the gravitational energy is released in the hot corona and the rest is released in the ESD. The energy equation of the ESD is dominated by advection and the spectrum shows a broad ``hump'' caused by saturated Comptonization with monochromatic luminosity given by $νL_ν\propto ν^0$. This relationship enables us to estimate the black hole mass from the ESD luminosity. The spectrum of the hot corona is sensitive to the parameter $f\dotM$ and the viscosity and shows a Comptonized power-law with a high-energy cutoff. The model is used to explain the spectral properties of narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s). In particular, it can explain the spectrum of extreme NLS1s like NLS1 RE J1034+396. Our spectral estimate of the black hole mass in this source is in good agreement with the mass obtained by applying the reververation mapping correlation. We also examine the Eddington ratios in a large NLS1 sample and find that most objects show super-Eddington accretion rates. We argue that soft X-ray humps in NLS1s are natural consequences of super-Eddington accretion in such objects.

Is KT Mon a Classical Nova?

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: KT Mon has been considered as a classical nova in 1942 based on its light curve and spectroscopy. However, we noticed a unusual feature for a nova soon after its maximum: the early presence of high excitation emission lines such as He II and N III. We propose previously overlooked interpretations that KT Mon can be either a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova and an X-ray transient, although the possibility of an unusual or a recurrent nova is not completely excluded. If KT Mon is a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, the system is expected to have a brown dwarf secondary. If KT Mon is an X-ray transient, the system is a good candidate for the nearest black-hole binary. Within our knowledge, the observed features seem to more strongly support the latter possibility. In all possibilities, we can expect a recurrent outburst in meaningfully near future.
