description: In the context of assessment for learning (AFL), current second language writing research argues that writing assessment should underscore the importance of providing students with constant access to feedback, specifically, descriptive feedback on their written outputs. Further, the literature highlights a need for more research in an under-researched domain of AFL: students’ voices or affect in relation to teacher written corrective feedback (WCF). This descriptive research endeavors to determine which types of written corrected feedback in Ellis (2009) typology were used by the teacher in assessing the students’ forty six definition and argumentative essays. Moreover, this inquiry aims to find out the views or affect on formative feedback of the participants. The students’ essays and responses in the affective inventory are the data. The analyses of the essays showed that in general, the teacher tended to utilize direct corrective feedback in both types of essays. Metalinguistic and commentary feedback appeared to be the second and third most frequently used types, respectively. Indirect corrective feedback was the least used. This finding may imply pedagogically that the writing class paid attention to accuracy as an important component of the students’ writing skills. Moreover, it reflects a common practice in EFL writing context (Mahfoodh, 2017). As regards the result of the analysis of the survey data, in general the students’ affect towards the formative assessment measures in the classroom is positive. This is confirmed by the high degree of agreement of the students with the statements that the formatively-oriented progress monitoring mechanisms such as regular feedback boosted their eagerness to learn and sense of control over their learning.

description: We study the two-dimensional bond-diluted XY and six-state clock models by Monte Carlo simulation with cluster spin updates. Various concentrations of depleted bonds were simulated, in which we found a systematic decrease of the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition temperatures of both XY and six-state clock models as the concentration of dilution decreases. For the six-state clock model, a second KT transition at lower temperature was observed. The KT transition temperatures as well as the decay exponent $η$ for each concentration of dilution are estimated. It is observed that the quasi long range order disappears at the concentration of dilution very close to the percolation threshold. The decay exponent $η$ of the KT transitions calculated at each concentration indicates that the universality class belongs to the pure XY and clock models, analogous to the expectation of the Harris criterion for the irrelevance of randomness in the continuous phase transition of systems with non-diverging specific heat.

description: Galaxy mergers are expected to produce multiple supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in close-separation, but the detection of such SMBHs has been difficult. 2MASS J165939.7$+$183436 is a red active galactic nucleus (AGN) that is a prospective merging SMBH candidate owing to its merging features in Hubble Space Telescope imaging and double-peaked broad emission lines (BELs). Herein, we report a Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph Integral Field Unit observation of a double-peaked broad H$α$ line of 2MASS J165939.7$+$183436. Furthermore, we confirm the existence of two BEL peaks that are kinematically separated by 3000\,$\rm km\,s^{-1}$, with the SMBH of each BEL component weighing at $10^{8.92\pm0.06}\,M_{\rm \odot}$ and $10^{7.13\pm0.06}\,M_{\rm \odot}$, if they arise from independent BELs near the two SMBHs. The BEL components were not separated at $>0\farcs1$; however, under several plausible assumptions regarding the fitting of each spaxel, the two components are found to be spatially separated at $0\farcs085$ ($\sim250$\,pc). Different assumptions for the fitting can lead to a null ($< 0\farcs05$) or a larger spatial separation ($\sim0\farcs15$). Given the uncertainty regarding the spatial separation, various models, such as the disk emitter and multiple SMBH models, are viable solutions to explain the double BEL components. These results will promote future research for finding more multiple SMBH systems in red AGNs, and higher-resolution imaging validates these different models.

description: This paper has two main parts. First, we consider the Tutte symmetric function $XB$, a generalization of the chromatic symmetric function. We introduce a vertex-weighted version of $XB$ and show that this function admits a deletion-contraction relation. We also demonstrate that the vertex-weighted $XB$ admits spanning-tree and spanning-forest expansions generalizing those of the Tutte polynomial by connecting $XB$ to other graph functions. Second, we give several methods for constructing nonisomorphic graphs with equal chromatic and Tutte symmetric functions, and use them to provide specific examples.

description: The safety of food in the food chain has become an increasingly interesting issue to consumers and the media. It has also become a source of concern, as the amount of information on the risks related to food safety continues to expand. The purpose of this study was to identify factors contributing to consumers’ willingness to pay for increased quality information. The second purpose of this study was to examine what kind of information flows are required to ensure quality and safety in the food chain for beef, and who should produce that information. Studying the willingness to pay of consumers makes it possible to determine whether the consumers consider the quantity of information available on the safety and quality of beef sufficient. The empirical scope of the study was restricted to beef, because the beef labelling system enables reliable tracing of the origin of beef, as well as attributes related to safety, environmental friendliness and animal welfare.

description: We prove sharp upper bounds on the volume and the number of lattice points on edges of higher-dimensional reflexive simplices. These convex-geometric results are derived from new number-theoretic bounds on the denominators of unit fractions summing up to one. The main algebro-geometric application is a sharp upper bound on the anticanonical degree of higher-dimensional Q-factorial Gorenstein toric Fano varieties with Picard number one, where we completely characterize the case of equality.

description: Usually, marketing communication efforts in the agrifood sector address the end consumers and concentrate on products that are processed and ready for consumption, thus quality efforts often concentrate on the final product. Moreover, there’s a widespread view that agricultural commodities like wheat aren’t suitable neither for product focused marketing nor branding. However, recent developments in the in agrifood sector challenge this view. The increasing use of biotechnology, the globalisation of markets and changing consumer demands for quality, food safety and process attributes require improved communication concepts and information sharing along whole production chains. This paper considers the development of a quality communication system to support a regional wheat brand and prerequisites for quality management efforts.

Further, the coupling scheme of two su(1,1)-spins is discussed in the framework of two possibilities, in which certain new aspects appear. Finally, the coupling scheme developed in this paper is applied to a concrete example, which will serve boson realization of the so(4)- and the so(3,1)-algebra presented in the next paper.

description: We introduce solitons supported by Bessel photonic lattices in cubic nonlinear media. We show that the cylindrical geometry of the lattice, with several concentric rings, affords unique soliton properties and dynamics. In particular, besides the lowest-order solitons trapped in the center of the lattice, we find soliton families trapped at different lattice rings. Such solitons can be set into controlled rotation inside each ring, thus featuring novel types of in-ring and inter-ring soliton interactions.

description: This paper presents an efficient method to compute the dispersion diagram of periodic and uniform structures with generic anisotropic media. The method takes advantage of the ability of full-wave commercial simulators to deal with finite structures having anisotropic media. In particular, the proposed method extends the possibilities of commercial eigenmode solvers in the following ways: (i) anisotropic materials with non-diagonal permittivity and permeability tensors can be analyzed; (ii) the attenuation constant can easily be computed in both propagating and stopband regions and lossy materials can be included in the simulation; and (iii) unbounded and radiating structures such as leaky-wave antennas can be treated. The latter feature may be considered the most remarkable, since the structures must be forcefully bounded with electric/magnetic walls in the eigensolvers of most commercial simulators. In this work, the proposed method is particularized for the study of liquid crystals (LCs) in microwave and antenna devices. Thus, the dispersion properties of a great variety of LC-based configurations are analyzed, from canonical structures, such as waveguide and microstrip, to complex reconfigurable phase shifters in ridge gap-waveguide technology and leaky-wave antennas. Our results have been validated with previously reported works in the literature and with commercial software CST and HFSS.

description: We have used the Gemini Multi-object Spectrograph (GMOS) on the Gemini South 8m telescope in exceptional conditions (0.6" FWHM seeing) to observe the outer stellar disk of the Sculptor group galaxy NGC 300 at two locations. At our point source detection threshold of r' = 27.0 (3-sigma) mag, we trace the stellar disk out to a radius of 24', or 2.2 R_25 where R_25 is the 25 mag/arcsec**2 isophotal radius. This corresponds to about 10 scale lengths in this low-luminosity spiral (M_B = -18.6), or about 14.4 kpc at a cepheid distance of 2.0 +/- 0.07 Mpc. The background galaxy counts are derived in the outermost field, and these are within 10% of the mean survey counts from both Hubble Deep Fields. The luminosity profile is well described by a nucleus plus a simple exponential profile out to 10 optical scale lengths. We reach an effective surface brightness of 30.5 mag/arcsec**2 (2-sigma) at 55% completeness which doubles the known radial extent of the optical disk. These levels are exceedingly faint in the sense that the equivalent surface brightness in B or V is about 32 mag/arcsec**2. We find no evidence for truncation of the stellar disk. Only star counts can be used to reliably trace the disk to such faint levels, since surface photometry is ultimately limited by nonstellar sources of radiation. In the Appendix, we derive the expected surface brightness of one such source: dust scattering of starlight in the outer disk.

description: Obesity is one of the most pressing and widely emphasized health problems in America today. Beverage choices made by households have impacts on determining the intake of calories, calcium, caffeine, and vitamin C. Using data from the Nielsen Homescan Panel over the period 1998–2003, and a two-way random-effects Fuller-Battese error components procedure, we estimate econometric models to examine economic and demographic factors affecting per-capita daily intake of calories, calcium, caffeine, and vitamin C derived from the consumption of nonalcoholic beverages. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of the USDA 2000 Dietary Guidelines in reducing caloric and nutrient intake associated with nonalcoholic beverages.
Pentaquark Theta^+(1540) production in gamma N --> K Anti-K N

description: The recent developments in the search of exotic pentaquark hadrons are briefly reviewed. We then focus on investigating how the exotic pentaquark $Θ(1540)$ baryon production can be identified in the $γN \to K \bar{K} N$ reactions, focusing on the influence of the background (non-$Θ$ production) mechanisms. By imposing the SU(3) symmetry and using various quark model predictions, we are able to fix the coupling constants for evaluating the kaon backgrounds, the $K\bar{K}$ production through the intermediate vector meson and tensor meson photoproduction, and the mechanisms involving intermediate $Λ(1116)$, $Λ(1405)$, $Λ(1520)$, $Σ(1193)$, $Σ(1385)$, and $Δ(1232)$ states. The total cross section data of $γp \to K^+K^- p$ is then used to fix the form factors which regularize the background amplitudes so that the signal of $Θ(1540)$ in $γn \to K^+K^-n$ and $γp \to K^0\bar{K}^0p$ cross sections can be predicted. We find that the predicted $K^+K^-$ and $K^+ n$ invariant mass distributions of the $γn \to K^+ K^- n$ reaction can qualitatively reproduce the shapes of the JLab data. However, the predicted $Θ(1540)$ peak can not be identified unambiguously with the data. High statistics experiments are needed to resolve the problem. We also find that an even-parity $Θ$ is more likely to be detected, while it will be difficult to identify an odd-parity $Θ$, even if it exists, from the background continuum, if its coupling constants are small as in the present quark model predictions.

description: We propose a continuum theory of the liquid-liquid phase separation in an elastic network where phase-separated microscopic droplets rich in one fluid component can form as an interplay of fluids mixing, droplet nucleation, network deformation, thermodynamic fluctuation, \emph{etc}. We find that the size of the phase separated droplets decreases with the shear modulus of the elastic network in the form of $\sim[\mathrm{modulus}]^{-1/3}$ and the number density of the droplet increases almost linearly with the shear modulus $\sim[\mathrm{modulus}]$, which are verified by the experimental observations. Phase diagrams in the space of (fluid constitution, mixture interaction, network modulus) are provided, which can help to understand similar phase separations in biological cells and also to guide fabrications of synthetic cells with desired phase properties.

This work starts from an existing dataset (https://huggingface.co/datasets/ucberkeley-dlab/measuring-hate-speech) where users annotated social media comments, specifying if they contain hate speech. The possible answers were Yes, Maybe, or No. Demographic features of annotators and targets were provided.

Each row of the uploaded file concerns a couple , where a particular target feature and an annotator feature are specified (f.e. target race white and annotator religion Christian). These annotations are compared with all the annotations having the same target but different annotator features (f.e. target race white and annotator religion Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, etc...) to evaluate the overestimation or underestimation of hate speech content. The CSV file only provided couples having statistically significant differences with the other annotations, for a total of 1,189 rows.

description: It is well documented that ‘‘unanticipated’’ information contained in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) crop reports induces large price reactions in corn and soybean markets. Thus, a natural question that arises from this literature is: To what extent are futures hedges able to remove or reduce increased price risk around report release dates? This paper addresses this question by simulating daily futures returns, daily cash returns, and daily hedged returns around report release dates for two storable commodities (corn and soybeans) in two market settings (North Central Illinois and Memphis, Tennessee). Various risk measures, including ‘‘Value at Risk,’’ are used to determine hedging effectiveness, and ‘‘Analysis of Variance’’ is used to uncover the underlying factors that contribute to hedging effectiveness.

description: We homogeneously reanalyse $124$ transit light curves for the WASP-4 b hot Jupiter. This set involved new observations secured in 2019 and nearly all observations mentioned in the literature, including high-accuracy GEMINI/GMOS transmission spectroscopy of 2011-2014 and TESS observations of 2018. The analysis confirmed a nonlinear TTV trend with $P/|\dot P|\sim (17-30)$ Myr (1-sigma range), implying only half of the initial decay rate estimation. The trend significance is at least $3.4$-sigma in the agressively conservative treatment. Possible radial acceleration due to unseen companions is not revealed in Doppler data covering seven years 2007-2014, and radial acceleration of $-15$ m s$^{-1}$yr$^{-1}$ reported in a recent preprint by another team is not confirmed. If present, it is a very nonlinear RV variation. Assuming that the entire TTV is tidal in nature, the tidal quality factor $Q_\star'\sim (4.5-8.5)\cdot 10^4$ does not reveal a convincing disagreement with available theory predictions.

description: We analyze the effect of the non-universal $Z$ boson in the rare decays $B_s \to l^+ l^- $, $B_s \to l^+ l^- γ$ and $Z \to b \bar s$ decays. These decays involve the FCNC mediated $ b \to s $ transitions, and are found to be very small in the standard model. The smallness of these decays in the standard model makes them sensitive probe for new physics. We find an enhancement of at least an order in these branching ratios because of the non-universal $Zbs$ coupling.

description: This article examines the effects of the application of panel data estimation methods on a system of equations with unbalanced panel data. We apply pooled, random-effects, and fixed-effects estimation in three data sets: small, medium, and large farms to examine the relationship between farm size and the elasticity of cotton supply with respect to cotton price. Our results indicate that the adoption of various estimation methods entails different estimated parameters both in terms of their absolute value and in terms of their statistical significance. Additionally, the elasticity of cotton supply with respect to price varies according to farm size.

description: Electronic nematicity in iron pnictide materials is coupled to both the lattice and the conducting electrons, which allows both structural and transport observables to probe nematic fluctuations and the order parameter. Here we combine simultaneous transport and x-ray diffraction measurements with in-situ tunable strain (elasto-XRD) to measure the temperature dependence of the shear modulus and elastoresistivity above the nematic transition and the spontaneous orthorhombicity and resistivity anisotropy below the nematic transition, all within a single sample of $Ba(Fe_{0.96}Co_{0.04})_{2} As_{2}$. The ratio of transport to structural quantities is nearly temperature-independent over a 74 K range and agrees between the ordered and disordered phases. These results show that elasto-XRD is a powerful technique to probe the nemato-elastic and nemato-transport couplings, which have important implications to the nearby superconductivity. It also enables the measurement in the large strain limit, where the breakdown of mean field description reveals the intertwined nature of nematicity.

We show that kink propagation requires forces over a certain threshold, a phenomenon already found for aperiodic sequences [F. Dom\'ınguez-Adame {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 52}, 2183 (1995)]. For forces below threshold, the final stop positions are highly dependent on the specific sequence. The results of our model are consistent with the stick-slip dynamics of the unzipping process observed in experiments. We also show that the effective potential, a collective coordinate formalism introduced by Salerno and Kivshar [Phys. Lett. A {\bf 193}, 263 (1994)] is a useful tool to identify key regions in DNA that control the dynamical behavior of large segments. Additionally, our results lead to further insights in the phenomenology observed in aperiodic systems.

description: In an attempt to support the push for second generation biofuels in the United States, this research investigates the role that soil organic matter plays in explaining changes in technical efficiency and agricultural productivity across counties in Nebraska. We estimate optimum biomass harvest potentials for forty seven counties in Nebraska. These estimates reveal the percentage of biomass that can be harvested that would not negatively affect current levels of agricultural production. We also give an account of the status of inter-county changes in agricultural productivity in Nebraska. We use an output measure of technical efficiency from non-parametric data envelopment analysis to estimate technical efficiency measures. Total factor productivity change was estimated using an output-based Malmquist index approach. Biomass harvest potentials were obtained by shrinking/contracting only soil organic matter in our linear programming constraints. Results show that SOM does contribute to explaining changes in technical efficiency and total factor productivity across counties in Nebraska. Also, an average measure of TFP growth of 3.7% was obtained for the 41 years period, 99% of which was accounted for by technological change while the contribution of efficiency change was very minimal. 55% of counties in Nebraska have zero harvest potentials while only 45% of counties have excess biomass potentials for harvest. The highest average potential of 35% was reported for Lincoln, Cass, Gosper and Colfax counties.

description: We analysis the radial equations for massive Dirac fields in Schwarzschild black hole spacetimes. Different approximation formulae under the WKB scheme are developed for the transmission probability ${\cal T}$ of the radial wavefunction with $E^{2}\gg V_{m}$, $E^{2}\approx V_{m}$, and $E^{2}\ll V_{m}$, where $E$ is the energy of the field and $V_{m}$ is the maximum value of the effective potential. Explicit results of ${\cal T}$ in these approximations are given for various values of $E$, the mass $m$, and the angular momentum parameter $κ$ of the fields. We also discuss the dependence of ${\cal T}$ on these parameters.

description: Our understanding of learning input-output relationships with neural nets has improved rapidly in recent years, but little is known about the convergence of the underlying representations, even in the simple case of linear autoencoders (LAEs). We show that when trained with proper regularization, LAEs can directly learn the optimal representation -- ordered, axis-aligned principal components. We analyze two such regularization schemes: non-uniform $\ell_2$ regularization and a deterministic variant of nested dropout [Rippel et al, ICML' 2014]. Though both regularization schemes converge to the optimal representation, we show that this convergence is slow due to ill-conditioning that worsens with increasing latent dimension. We show that the inefficiency of learning the optimal representation is not inevitable -- we present a simple modification to the gradient descent update that greatly speeds up convergence empirically.

description: We conduct frequency comparisons between a state-of-the-art strontium optical lattice clock, a cryogenic crystalline silicon cavity, and a hydrogen maser to set new bounds on the coupling of ultralight dark matter to Standard Model particles and fields in the mass range of $10^{-16}$ $-$ $10^{-21}$ eV. The key advantage of this two-part ratio comparison is the differential sensitivities to time variation of both the fine-structure constant and the electron mass, achieving a substantially improved limit on the moduli of ultralight dark matter, particularly at higher masses than typical atomic spectroscopic results. Furthermore, we demonstrate an extension of the search range to even higher masses by use of dynamical decoupling techniques. These results highlight the importance of using the best performing atomic clocks for fundamental physics applications as all-optical timescales are increasingly integrated with, and will eventually supplant, existing microwave timescales.

Many-body effects between unbosonized excitons

description: We here give a brief survey of our new many-body theory for composite excitons, as well as some of the results we have already obtained using it. In view of them, we conclude that, in order to fully trust the results one finds, interacting excitons should not be bosonized: Indeed, all effective bosonic Hamiltonians (even the hermitian ones !) can miss terms as large as the ones they generate; they can even miss the dominant term, as in problems dealing with optical nonlinearities.

description: In this paper, a new measurement system based on integration method is presented,which can provide all-weather dependability and higher precision for the measurement of FAST's feed support system. The measurement system consists of three types of measuring equipments, and a processing software with the core data fusion algorithm. The Strapdown Inertial Navigation System(SINS) can autonomously measure the position, speed and attitude of the carrier. Its own shortcoming is the measurement data diverges rapidly over time. SINS must combine the Global Positioning System(GPS) and the Total Station(TS) to obtain high-precision measurement data. Kalman filtering algorithm is adopted for the integration measurement system, which is an optimal algorithm to estimate the measurement errors. To evaluate the performance, series of tests are carried out. For the feed cabin, the maximum RMS of the position is 14.56mm, the maximum RMS of the attitude is 0.095°, these value are less than 15mm and 0.1° as the precision for measuring the feed cabin. For the Stewart manipulator, the maximum RMS of the position is 2.99mm, the maximum RMS of the at titude is 0.093°, these value are less than 3mm and 0.1° as the precision for measuring the Stewart manipulator. As a result, the new measurement meets the requirement of measurement precision for FAST's feed support system.

description: We present the results of a search for cosmic ray point sources at energies above 40 EeV in the combined data sets recorded by the AGASA and HiRes stereo experiments. The analysis is based on a maximum likelihood ratio test using the probability density function for each event rather than requiring an a priori choice of a fixed angular bin size. No statistically significant clustering of events consistent with a point source is found.
