Assessment For Learning: The Role of Feedback
Creators: name: Böttcher, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2011

description: Formative assessment (FA) and learning-oriented assessment (LOA) focus on the learning process. These ongoing assessments for learning can be an integral part of instruction and may add a new dimension to the learning mandate inherent in the classroom. Assessment for learning is founded on the notion that learners can raise their consciousness of their learning aims through the process of assessment and work towards improvement (Luoma & Tarnanen, 2003). Leung (2004) defines classroom-based FA as “the noticing and gathering of information about student language use in ordinary (noncontrived) classroom activities, and the use of that information to make decisions about teaching (to promote learning) without necessarily quantifying it or using it for reporting purposes” (p. 20). Indeed, FA or LOA serves both the teacher in terms of planning future curricula as well as the students in giving them feedback so that they become aware of their strengths, weaknesses, and what needs to be implemented to make improvement. This discussion will focus on the important role of feedback in FA or LOA.

Classroom-Based Language Assessment and L2 Learning
Creators: name: Theodoropulos, Christos
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2011

description: Over the past decade, there has been a call for an interface between assessment practices and second language (L2) learning, and this call has come from both testing specialists (e.g., Purpura, 2011) and second language acquisition researchers (e.g., Norris & Ortega, 2003). One area where a crossing point seems to have occurred is in classroom-based language assessment and, in specific, formative assessment. Rea-Dickins (2008) writes that a greater alignment of research in the areas of formative assessment and second language acquisition may give theorists, researchers, and practitioners a clearer understanding of language development in the classroom. Phrases such as learning-oriented language assessment (Purpura, 2004), assessment for learning (Black et al., 2003), and assessment as learning (Rea-Dickins, 2008) have been coined to emphasize the formative purposes, and highlight the learning aspect, of these classroom-based assessment practices.

Talmy’s Dichotomous Typology and Japanese Lexicalization Patterns of Motion Events
Creators: name: Noguchi, Hiromi
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2011

description: Talmy‘s (1985) crosslinguistic typology of lexicalization patterns of motion events have been extensively used in second language acquisition (SLA) research as a means to examine how second language (L2) learners map form, meaning, and function. These studies have yielded some conflicting results regarding the learnability of L2 lexicalization patterns  arguably the oversimplification over and the overreliance on the dichotomous typological categorization of such patterns. The present corpus study seeks to illustrate how Japanese, which is classified as a V-language, may express motion events differently from what the typology typically suggests. The results showed that (1) Japanese elaborates on the Manner of motion via nouns, adjectives and adverbs, and that (2) Japanese verbs conflate Manner and Motion via Chinese loanwords and compound verbs. In order to shed light on what is learnable and why certain lexicalization patterns are (un)learnable for specific population groups in adult L2 acquisition, it is argued that, a deeper understanding of the nature of L2 input and learners‘ native languages (NL), especially in terms of input frequency, the complexity of form-meaning relationships, and the ease of processing of lexicalization patterns, would be indispensable.

description: Using high resolution SPH simulations in a fully cosmological Lambda CDM context we study the formation of a bright disk dominated galaxy that originates from a "wet" major merger at z=0.8. The progenitors of the disk galaxy are themselves disk galaxies that formed from early major mergers between galaxies with blue colors. A substantial thin stellar disk grows rapidly following the last major merger and the present day properties of the final remnant are typical of early type spiral galaxies, with an i band B/D ~0.65, a disk scale length of 7.2 kpc, g-r = 0.5 mag, an HI line width (W_{20}/2) of 238 km/sec and total magnitude i = -22.4. The key ingredients for the formation of a dominant stellar disk component after a major merger are: i) substantial and rapid accretion of gas through cold flows followed at late times by cooling of gas from the hot phase, ii) supernova feedback that is able to partially suppress star formation during mergers and iii) relative fading of the spheroidal component. The gas fraction of the progenitors' disks does not exceed 25% at z<3, emphasizing that the continuous supply of gas from the local environment plays a major role in the regrowth of disks and in keeping the galaxies blue. The results of this simulation alleviate the problem posed for the existence of disk galaxies by the high likelihood of interactions and mergers for galaxy sized halos at relatively low z.

Task Complexity and Linguistic Complexity: An Exploratory Study
Creators: name: Choong, K. Philip
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2011

description: Central to any task-based syllabus is the notion of complexity. Proponents of task-based language teaching have argued that tasks be sequenced according to their inherent cognitive complexity, partially because learner performance changes according to the complexity of the task. This exploratory study examines the effect of task complexity on the linguistic complexity of task performance. The participants in the study were a group of ten advanced-level second language English speakers, and two groups of native English speakers. Task complexity was operationalized by manipulating two independent variables – reasoning demand and contextual support – in a series of picture narration tasks. The study thus had a 2 x 2 factorial design, with participants completing the tasks under four sets of conditions. Each set provided the participants with different reasoning demands and/or contextual support. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to analyze the initial data. Subsequently, separate ANOVAs were calculated to distinguish between the types of reasoning that may have contributed to differences in task performance. It was found that contextual support had little influence on the complexity of task performance, but that reasoning demands, specifically causal and spatial reasoning, may have contributed to differences in the linguistic complexity of participants' task performance.

description: We have been using Keck laser guide star adaptive optics to monitor the orbits of ultracool binaries, providing dynamical masses at lower luminosities and temperatures than previously available and enabling strong tests of theoretical models. (1) We find that model color-magnitude diagrams cannot reliably be used to infer masses as they do not accurately reproduce the colors of ultracool dwarfs of known mass. (2) Effective temperatures inferred from evolutionary model radii can be inconsistent with temperatures derived from fitting observed spectra with atmospheric models by at most 100-300 K. (3) For the single pair of field brown dwarfs with a precise mass (3%) and age determination (~25%), the measured luminosities are ~2-3x higher than predicted by model cooling rates (masses inferred from Lbol and age are 20-30% larger than measured). Finally, as the sample of binaries with measured orbits grows, novel tests of brown dwarf formation theories are made possible (e.g., testing theoretical eccentricity distributions).

description: The rate at which computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has evolved during the last three decades is remarkable. With annual conferences devoted to its various aspects, books being published regularly, and at least four international journals dedicated to this specialty, CALL continues to grow given the interest and commitment of the professionals and stakeholders concerned. A closer examination of the major aspects of CALL, such as its design and material, research, and practice (especially the relevant kind of teacher education) would reveal a gradual but steady increase of specialization and sophistication, thus attesting to the enormous potential of CALL in facilitating language learning (Levy & Stockwell, 2006).

description: We develop an analytic model of thermal state-to-state rotationally inelastic collisions of asymmetric-top molecules with closed-shell atoms in electric fields, and apply it to the Ar--H$_2$O collision system. The predicted cross sections as well as the steric asymmetry of the collisions show at fields up to 150 kV/cm characteristic field-dependent features which can be experimentally tested. Particularly suitable candidates for such tests are the $0_{00} \to 2_{20}$ and $1_{01} \to 2_{21}$ channels, arising from the relaxation of the field-free selection rules due to the hybridization of $J$ states. Averaging over the $M'$ product channels is found to largely obliterate the orientation effects brought about by the field.

description: Females can progress to alcohol and other substance use disorders more quickly than males. The ovarian hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) contributes to sex differences observed in drug use and abuse and may be a principal driver of these differences. However, it is not entirely clear how E2 acts to affect processing of ethanol reward, and several brain regions and mechanisms are implicated. We sought to clarify the role of E2 in modulating the response of ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons to ethanol. To this end, I recorded spontaneous action potentials and inhibitory postsynaptic currents from dopaminergic neurons in acute horizontal brain slices from ovariectomized (OVX) dopamine neuron reporter mice (Pitx3-eGFP) treated with either vehicle (VEH) or E2. My data confirmed that ethanol stimulation of the firing rate of dopamine neurons from OVX+E2 mice was greater than that of OVX+VEH animals. Further, we hypothesized that the firing rate increase would be accompanied by a concomitant decrease in ethanol stimulated inhibition onto those same neurons. I found that although ethanol caused the expected increase in the frequency of GABA [subscript A] receptor-mediated synaptic inhibition in both groups, there was no difference in this response between OVX+E2 and OVX+VEH animals. I also observed a small effect of ethanol to increase the amplitude of these currents in both groups. These findings lend additional support for the ability of E2 to enhance ventral tegmental area dopamine neuron responses to ethanol and suggest that this effect is not mediated by an E2-elicited suppression of synaptic inhibition, although future studies are needed to conclusively determine the mechanism. The experiments and research surveyed in this document help to strengthen the field of addiction generally, as well as alcohol research specifically. As although alcohol has some very specific effects, the information that we learn about dopaminergic transmission as it relates to drug use can be used well outside of the alcohol field. Furthermore, this research has led to new insights into the underlying causes and subsequent consequences of sex differences, both physiological and behavioral.
The Effects of Gravitational Slip on the Higher-Order Moments of the Matter Distribution

description: Cosmological departures from general relativity offer a possible explanation for the cosmic acceleration. To linear order, these departures (quantified by the model-independent parameter $\varpi$, referred to as a `gravitational slip') amplify or suppress the growth of structure in the universe relative to what we would expect to see from a general relativistic universe lately dominated by a cosmological constant. As structures collapse and become more dense, linear perturbation theory is an inadequate descriptor of their behavior, and one must extend calculations to non-linear order. If the effects of gravitational slip extend to these higher orders, we might expect to see a signature of $\varpi$ in the bispectrum of galaxies distributed on the sky. We solve the equations of motion for non-linear perturbations in the presence of gravitational slip and find that, while there is an effect on the bispectrum, it is too weak to be detected with present galaxy surveys. We also develop a formalism for incorporating scale dependence into our description of gravitational slip.

description: We present a sample of 46 [OIII]-emitting galaxies at z<0.8 detected in the fibre spectra of quasars from the SDSS-DR7 through an automatic search procedure. We also detect [OII] and Hb emission lines from most of these galaxies in the SDSS spectra. We study both the emission and absorption properties of a sub-sample of 17 galaxies in the redshift range z=0.4-0.7, where MgII lines are covered by the SDSS spectra. The measured lower-limits on the star-formation rates of these galaxies are in the range 0.2-20 M_sun/yr. The emission line luminosities and (O/H) metallicities from R23 measured in this sample are similar to what is found in normal galaxies at these redshifts. Thus, this constitutes a unique sample of intermediate redshift star-forming galaxies where we can study the QSO absorber - galaxy connection. Strong MgII (W>1A) as well as MgI absorption lines are detected in the QSO spectra at the redshift of most of these galaxies. Strong FeII (W>1A) absorption lines are also generally detected whenever the appropriate wavelength ranges are covered. This suggests that most of these systems could be bona-fide Damped Lyman-alpha systems. We investigate various possible relations between the MgII rest equivalent widths and the emission line properties. We find a possible (2 sigma) correlation between the emission-line metallicity of the galaxies and the MgII rest equivalent width of the absorbers [truncated].

description: Quantum computers can execute algorithms that dramatically outperform classical computation. As the best-known example, Shor discovered an efficient quantum algorithm for factoring integers, whereas factoring appears to be difficult for classical computers. Understanding what other computational problems can be solved significantly faster using quantum algorithms is one of the major challenges in the theory of quantum computation, and such algorithms motivate the formidable task of building a large-scale quantum computer. This article reviews the current state of quantum algorithms, focusing on algorithms with superpolynomial speedup over classical computation, and in particular, on problems with an algebraic flavor.

Finite-size scaling of a few statistical physics models in high dimensions
Creators: name: Michta, Emmanuel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: We investigate the behaviour of several classical models from statistical physics on a large but finite high-dimensional box. Our results elucidate in part the critical behaviour of the models as the volume of the box, its number of points, tends to infinity. The simplest model we study is the Simple Random Walk model for which we derive an exact asymptotic expansion of its massive two-point function. We obtain some new results but mostly unify the exposition and the proofs of the results we state, thereby hopefully making this presentation a point of reference for future works. For the weakly self-avoiding walk model, we prove that the walk on a torus behaves as on ℤᵈ provided that it has length much smaller than 𝑉¹⧸² where 𝑉 is the volume, number of points, of the torus which, we believe, is sharp. We also prove in that case that the corresponding scaling limit is Brownian motion on the torus. For high-dimensional percolation we first produce a useful estimate for the near-critical two-point function on ℤᵈ from which we can deduce that the torus two-point function has a plateau, i.e. that inside a critical window of parameters centered around the infinite-volume critical point, the torus two-point function decays as on ℤᵈ up until it reaches a constant value of order 𝑉⁻⁻²⧸³. Many other valuable results pertaining to finite-size scaling of the models are then deduced from the plateau. Finally, we present results for the hierarchical |φ|⁴ model in dimensions d ≥ 4 which identify exactly the critical behaviour of this model along with the role of boundary conditions in effective critical behaviour. This serves as a prototype for related models and thus leads to the formulation of precise conjectures for spin O(n) or SAW models in dimensions d ≥ 4. The results are derived from a rigorous Renormalisation Group analysis

The columnar defects are confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and their density is about 40 % of the irradiation dose. Magneto-optical imaging and bulk magnetization measurements reveal that the critical current density is strongly enhanced in the irradiated region. We also find that vortex creep rates are strongly suppressed by the columnar defects. We compare the effect of heavy-ion irradiation into Co-doped BaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ and cuprate superconductors.

Revising Integrative Motivation: L2 Motivation Research and Learner Context
Creators: name: Gardner, Amanda
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2010

description: “Why am I learning this language? How is my language learning affected by my attitudes and my context?” For the average second language (L2) learner, these questions are probably not often considered in such an explicit fashion. For L2 educators and L2 motivation researchers, however, these student-centered questions are urgent and ever-present. From my own experience, teaching English to speakers of other languages across different contexts has presented vastly differing pictures of L2 learner motivation. What is it that makes teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to first-generation Hispanic immigrant students so different from teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to sub-Saharan African students? From an anecdotal standpoint, the answer appears to lie in the understanding of motivation within context: which students have it, why they have it, and how to inspire the same, if possible, in other learners. Thus, as “numerous studies have provided statistical evidence that indicates motivation is a predictor of language-learning success,” L2 motivation research seems well worth examining in greater detail for both language researchers and language teachers alike (Gass & Selinker, 2009, p. 426).

Language Assessment in Practice
Creators: name: Clark-Gareca, Beth

description: Language Assessment in Practice by Lyle Bachman and Adrian Palmer is a defining text within the field of language assessment. With an expected readership of students, language teachers with varying experience, applied linguists, professional language testers, materials developers and textbook writers, Language Assessment in Practice is ambitious at its core. Nonetheless, the authors‘ logical approach and straightforward writing style make this a highly accessible text for all members of its intended audience. In an inviting first chapter titled ―Objectives and Explanations, or why we need another book about language testing,‖ Bachman and Palmer explain their reasons for taking on this project, especially in light of their earlier, formative work Language Testing in Practice (Bachman & Palmer, 1996). Using Bachman‘s articulation of the Assessment Use Argument (AUA) as its organizing theoretical framework, Language Assessment in Practice represents a distinct departure from the earlier text. At nearly twice the number of pages of text (excluding the projects in the final chapters of both books), and incorporating extensive resources available online, this volume represents a significant evolution in the authors‘ thinking about assessment.

description: Motivated by the physics of the Moore-Read ν= 1/2 state away from half-filling, we investigate collective states of non-abelian e/4 quasiparticles in a magnetic field. We consider two types of collective states: incompressible liquids and Wigner crystals. In the incompressible liquid case, we construct a natural series of states which can be thought of as a non-abelian generalization of the Laughlin states. These states are associated with a series of hierarchical states derived from the Moore-Read state - the simplest of which occur at filling fraction 8/17 and 7/13. Interestingly, we find that the hierarchical states are abelian even though their parent state is non-abelian. In the Wigner crystal case, we construct two candidate states. We find that they, too, are abelian - in agreement with previous analysis.

description: Language Development over the Lifespan, compiled by Kees de Bot and Robert W. Schrauf, is a collection of articles that explore language development—both language acquisition and language attrition—from a lifespan perspective. This volume of articles was, first of all, intended as a reference resource for research on language development and the aging process and as a text for MA courses in applied linguistics/bilingualism programs. More importantly, this book establishes a new and exciting perspective on language acquisition by considering developmental language phenomena, that is, “developmental” changes in language that occur over the span of a lifetime. This volume thus opens up new windows to research language acquisition from a developmental perspective.

Effects of Output and Note-Taking on Noticing and Interlanguage Development
Creators: name: Kang, Eun Young
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2010

description: Recent literature in second language acquisition (SLA) suggests that opportunities for output production contribute to targetlike acquisition. In the course of second language (L2) production, learners are prompted to notice the gaps and/or holes in their knowledge, and thus give extra attention to such discrepancies in subsequent input (Swain, 1995). This study investigates the role of written output in helping learners notice linguistic forms provided in subsequent input. In particular, it examines note-taking as a way to facilitate noticing. Twenty-three advanced English as a Second Language (ESL) learners were randomly assigned to two groups ─ a note-taking group and a non-note-taking group ─ and were asked to complete a three-stage writing task: (i) to give a written description to a picture, (ii) to compare the description to a model text, and (iii) to rewrite the description. This was immediately followed by a retrospective questionnaire designed to shed light on the “noticing process.” The results suggest that written output has a positive effect on learners‟ ability to notice linguistic forms that they have previously found problematic in subsequent input, and that note-taking apparently helps learners better use the linguistic forms included in subsequent input in their own rewriting.

description: A driven Ising model with friction due to magnetic correlations has recently been proposed by Kadau et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 137205 (2008)). The non-equilibrium phase transition present in this system is investigated in detail using analytical methods as well as Monte Carlo simulations. In the limit of high driving velocities $v$ the model shows mean field behavior due to dimensional reduction and can be solved exactly for various geometries. The simulations are performed with three different single spin flip rates: the common Metropolis and Glauber rates as well as a multiplicative rate. Due to the non-equilibrium nature of the model all rates lead to different critical temperatures at $v>0$, while the exact solution matches the multiplicative rate. Finally, the cross-over from Ising to mean field behavior as function of velocity and system size is analysed in one and two dimensions.

description: My work springs from the place where my body touches Texas. In my thesis report I attempt to lay out my embodied experience of living here and how this intersects with phenomenology and Butler’s theory of the displaced feminine, whilst describing some of the work I have made in response to these experiences. I will talk about, body, voice, ground, femininity, movement and animation, excavating the common threads and desires that run through my work.
L2 Learner-Made Formulaic Expressions and Constructions
Creators: name: Hall, Timothy

description: The emergence of lexico-grammatical productivity has been a central issue in the field of Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Ellis (2002) proposed that formulaic chunks of language are one resource for the learner to develop such productivity. This exploratory study sought to determine whether formulaic language chunks were observed in the oral production of three adult beginner learners of English as a Second Language (ESL) over a nine-week period in a community language program. It also attempted to determine whether there was a developmental relationship between formulae and productive forms called constructions. Tasks used to elicit the data included picture description tasks and semi-structured interviews. Results showed that formulae were minimally present in the learner output and that constructions and formulae of similar structure coexisted, but that a developmental relationship between formulae and constructions was not clearly evident. The discussion proposes the existence of a pre-formulaic stage account for the data, and submits that the relationship between formulae and productive constructions requires more intensive study.

Documenting behaviour change processes and designing system improvements using the example of prescribing physical activity in primary care
Creators: name: Bellwood, Paule
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Changing human behaviour is complex, especially in the context of chronic disease management; it can present challenges to patients, providers, and the entire healthcare system. This dissertation was guided by the sociotechnical systems approach. It adapted and applied multiple methodologies to explore behaviour change at different levels of chronic disease management, specifically: the Lead User Method, the Theory of Distributed Cognition, sociotechnical systems theory, the Theoretical Domains Framework, Personas, i* Framework, and the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy v1. Methods used within the dissertation included semi-structured co-creative interviews and a rapid prototyping and co-design process. A primary aim of the dissertation was to document existing practice and inform behaviour change challenges for physical activity prescription in primary care. A secondary aim of the dissertation was to explore a theoretical and methodological basis for behaviour change strategies for physical activity prescription in primary care. A novel method was developed and piloted offering a practical way of addressing behaviour change interventions in primary care settings and viewing behaviour change within primary care from a sociotechnical systems perspective. It also provided a way to document and inform improvements to the process for prescribing physical activity in primary care by using a visual approach to the discussion where lead users co-design potential solutions to identified problems. The system-level goal model and behaviour change technique clusters were created to inform the potential design of an information technology tool that would support behaviour change interventions in primary care aimed at increasing physical activity levels as a way to manage non-communicable diseases. Future work stemming from this research has the potential to address the complexity of human behaviour change from a sociotechnical systems perspective both within different settings of primary care and beyond the context of primary care.

description: We report experimental observation of an unexpectedly large thermopower in mesoscopic two-dimensional (2D) electron systems on GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures at sub-Kelvin temperatures and zero magnetic field. Unlike conventional non-magnetic high-mobility 2D systems, the thermopower in our devices increases with decreasing temperature below 0.3 K, reaching values in excess of 100 $μ$V/K, thus exceeding the free electron estimate by more than two orders of magnitude. With support from a parallel independent study of the local density of states, we suggest such a phenomenon to be linked to intrinsic localized states and many-body spin correlations in the system.

Teaching English Language Learners through Technology
Creators: name: Madrazo, Danielle
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2010

description: As the fourth book in the series Teaching Language Learners Across the Curriculum, this volume by Tony Erben, Ruth Ban, and Martha Castañeda serves as a straightforward and practical handbook for pre-service and in-service K-12 classroom teachers who have no formal pedagogical training in second language teaching. Whereas the previous books in the series focused on specific subject areas, Teaching Language Learners through Technology is relevant to all content areas and bridges linguistics, language learning research, and practical day-to-day teaching strategies to show educators how the use of technology in differentiated instruction can help facilitate language learning.

description: We have measured the ratio of the diffusion cross-section to the angular momentum reorientation cross-section in the colliding Fe-3He and Ni-3He systems. Nickel (Ni) and iron (Fe) atoms are introduced via laser ablation into a cryogenically cooled experimental cell containing cold (< 1 K) 3He buffer gas. Elastic collisions rapidly cool the translational temperature of the ablated atoms to the helium temperature. The cross-section ratio is extracted by measuring the decays of the atomic Zeeman sublevels. For our experimental conditions, thermal energy is comparable to the Zeeman splitting. As a result, thermal excitations between Zeeman sublevels significantly impact the observed decay. To determine the cross-section ratio accurately, we introduce a model of Zeeman state dynamics that includes thermal excitations. We find the cross-section ratio for Ni-3He = 5 x 10^3 and Fe-3He <= 3 x 10^3 at 0.75 K in a 0.8 T magnetic field. These measurements are interpreted in the context of submerged shell suppression of spin relaxation as studied previously in transition metals and rare earth atoms.

Second Language Reading Research and Instruction: Crossing the Boundaries
Creators: name: Jung, Jookyoung
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2010

description: Second language (L2) reading serves dual roles in L2 learning – both as a literacy skill for comprehension and as a source of L2 input (Eskey, 2005; Grabe, 1991). However, L2 reading researchers have traditionally focused on either one of the two dimensions at a time, with the other largely unattended, as is reflected in the discrepancies between literacy-oriented research and language-oriented research. With its primary goal being comprehension, literacy-oriented research has fueled most notably a whole language approach, and a skills approach, to L2 reading instruction. The whole language approach highlights the importance of higher-level processes based on background knowledge, whereas the skills approach emphasizes lower-level processes such as orthographic processing, morphological analysis, and word recognition, among others. By contrast, with language-oriented research, the acquisition approach conceptualizes reading as a vehicle for delivering L2 input that is conducive to the development of L2 competence. As can be expected, the theoretical and pedagogical chasms among these approaches have thus yielded unbalanced views on the nature of L2 reading and, more importantly, on its relationship with L2 acquisition.

Deriving the radial distances of wide coronal mass ejections from elongation measurements in the heliosphere - Application to CME-CME interaction

description: We present general considerations regarding the derivation of the radial distances of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from elongation angle measurements such as those provided by SECCHI and SMEI, focusing on measurements in the Heliospheric Imager 2 (HI-2) field of view (i.e. past 0.3 AU). This study is based on a three-dimensional (3-D) magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) simulation of two CMEs observed by SECCHI on January 24-27, 2007. Having a 3-D simulation with synthetic HI images, we are able to compare the two basic methods used to derive CME positions from elongation angles, the so-called "Point-P" and "Fixed-Phi" approximations. We confirm, following similar works, that both methods, while valid in the most inner heliosphere, yield increasingly large errors in HI-2 field of view for fast and wide CMEs. Using a simple model of a CME as an expanding self-similar sphere, we derive an analytical relationship between elongation angles and radial distances for wide CMEs. This relationship is simply the harmonic mean of the "Point-P" and "Fixed-Phi'' approximations and it is aimed at complementing 3-D fitting of CMEs by cone models or flux rope shapes. It proves better at getting the kinematics of the simulated CME right when we compare the results of our line-of-sights to the MHD simulation. Based on this approximation, we re-analyze the J-maps (time-elongation maps) in January 26-27, 2007 and present the first observational evidence that the merging of CMEs is associated with a momentum exchange from the faster ejection to the slower one due to the propagation of the shock wave associated with the fast eruption through the slow eruption.

The Institution as Context

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL

description: Over the past two decades, institutional discourse has become an area of great import in the field of discourse analysis. Institutionality is rife in everyday interactions, occurring in workplaces, homes, and schools, as well as both face-to-face and telephone or virtual interactions (Drew & Heritage, 1992). Essentially, whenever an individual represents an institution, institutionality may color the discourse. In their seminal book, Talk at Work, Drew and Heritage (1992) define institutional talk as orienting to goals, constraining contributions, and shaping inferences. Following Drew and Heritage‟s framework, Waring (2005) identifies peer tutoring as a “privileged site for observing” institutional interactions, as “doing tutoring” is subject to goal orientation, constraints on allowable contributions, and unique inferential patterns (pp. 141-142). This piece focuses on one peer tutoring sequence to exemplify both how and why institutionality is oriented to in talk.
