JUMP Math in grade four classrooms
Creators: name: Garforth, Kathryn Charlotte
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: It is important for any new curriculum to go through a series of tests to ensure its effectiveness before a widespread adoption of the material into school systems. This evaluation should examine how students, including those who are low achieving (LA), perform with the use of the program. The primary purpose of this study was to compare the progress that three groups of students made, when teachers used different methods of mathematics instruction. One group of teachers used exclusively JUMP Math (JM1), one group of teachers used the materials used by the school district in the past (Control) and a third group of teachers used a combination of these two methods (JM2). Computational skills, fluency of simple addition, subtraction and multiplication questions, and number series measures were used to assess students in a pretest post-test quasi-experimental manner. The analysis conducted was achieved by using the change in scores between the pretest and the post-tests. For the whole sample, significant results were found on two of the measures. On one of the computational skills measures the control group was significantly better than JM1, and on the number series measure JM1 performed significantly better than JM2. For the students who were low achieving, JM2 performed significantly better than JM1 on the fluency measure. The other comparisons did not show statistical differences. As this was the first year for the teachers in the experimental conditions to use the JM program, future research should inquire whether there is a difference between the students when they are more comfortable with the program.
GLMMLasso: An Algorithm for High-Dimensional Generalized Linear Mixed Models Using L1-Penalization

description: We propose an L1-penalized algorithm for fitting high-dimensional generalized linear mixed models. Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) can be viewed as an extension of generalized linear models for clustered observations. This Lasso-type approach for GLMMs should be mainly used as variable screening method to reduce the number of variables below the sample size. We then suggest a refitting by maximum likelihood based on the selected variables only. This is an effective correction to overcome problems stemming from the variable screening procedure which are more severe with GLMMs. We illustrate the performance of our algorithm on simulated as well as on real data examples. Supplemental materials are available online and the algorithm is implemented in the R package glmmixedlasso.

description: The spatial preferred attachment (SPA) model is a model for networked information spaces such as domains of the World Wide Web, citation graphs, and on-line social networks. It uses a metric space to model the hidden attributes of the vertices. Thus, vertices are elements of a metric space, and link formation depends on the metric distance between vertices. We show, through theoretical analysis and simulation, that for graphs formed according to the SPA model it is possible to infer the metric distance between vertices from the link structure of the graph. Precisely, the estimate is based on the number of common neighbours of a pair of vertices, a measure known as {\sl co-citation}. To be able to calculate this estimate, we derive a precise relation between the number of common neighbours and metric distance. We also analyze the distribution of {\sl edge lengths}, where the length of an edge is the metric distance between its end points. We show that this distribution has three different regimes, and that the tail of this distribution follows a power law.

description: Toehold purchase, defined here as purchase of one share in a firm by an investor preparing a tender offer to acquire majority of shares in it, reduces by one the number of shares this investor needs for majority. In the paper we construct mathematical models for the toehold and no-toehold strategies and compare the expected profits of the investor and the probabilities of takeover the firm in both strategies. It turns out that the expected profits of the investor in both strategies coincide. On the other hand, the probability of takeover the firm using the toehold strategy is considerably higher comparing to the no-toehold strategy. In the analysis of the models we apply the apparatus of incomplete Beta functions and some refined bounds for central binomial coefficients.

Growth rate of small-scale dynamo at low magnetic Prandtl numbers

description: In this study we discuss two key issues related to a small-scale dynamo instability at low magnetic Prandtl numbers and large magnetic Reynolds numbers, namely: (i) the scaling for the growth rate of small-scale dynamo instability in the vicinity of the dynamo threshold; (ii) the existence of the Golitsyn spectrum of magnetic fluctuations in small-scale dynamos. There are two different asymptotics for the small-scale dynamo growth rate: in the vicinity of the threshold of the excitation of the small-scale dynamo instability, $λ\propto \ln({\rm Rm}/ {\rm Rm}^{\rm cr})$, and when the magnetic Reynolds number is much larger than the threshold of the excitation of the small-scale dynamo instability, $λ\propto {\rm Rm}^{1/2}$, where ${\rm Rm}^{\rm cr}$ is the small-scale dynamo instability threshold in the magnetic Reynolds number ${\rm Rm}$. We demonstrated that the existence of the Golitsyn spectrum of magnetic fluctuations requires a finite correlation time of the random velocity field. On the other hand, the influence of the Golitsyn spectrum on the small-scale dynamo instability is minor. This is the reason why it is so difficult to observe this spectrum in direct numerical simulations for the small-scale dynamo with low magnetic Prandtl numbers.

Stability of solitary waves in random nonlocal nonlinear media

description: We consider the interplay between nonlocal nonlinearity and randomness for two different nonlinear Schrödinger models. We show that stability of bright solitons in presence of random perturbations increases dramatically with the nonlocality-induced finite correlation length of the noise in the transverse plane, by means of both numerical simulations and analytical estimates. In fact, solitons are practically insensitive to noise when the correlation length of the noise becomes comparable to the extent of the wave packet. We characterize soliton stability using two different criteria based on the evolution of the Hamiltonian of the soliton and its power. The first criterion allows us to estimate a time (or distance) over which the soliton preserves its form. The second criterion gives the life-time of the solitary wave packet in terms of its radiative power losses. We derive a simplified mean field approach which allows us to calculate the power loss analytically in the physically relevant case of weakly correlated noise, which in turn serves as a lower estimate of the life-time for correlated noise in general case.
Neutrino Hierarchies from a Gauge Symmetry

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We consider the phenomenology of the gauged abelian symmetry B + 3 (L_e - L_mu - L_tau). Right-handed neutrinos necessary to cancel triangle anomalies are used in a type-I seesaw scheme to create active neutrino masses. Breaking the B + 3 (L_e - L_mu - L_tau) symmetry spontaneously below the seesaw scale generates low energy neutrino mass matrices with the approximate symmetries L_e (leading to normal hierarchy) or L_e - L_mu - L_tau (inverted hierarchy). For the latter we need to introduce a Z_2 symmetry which decouples one of the right-handed neutrinos. If exact, this Z_2 leads to a Majorana dark matter candidate that interacts with the Standard Model via the Z' and a scalar s originating from spontaneous breaking of the new symmetry. The measured relic abundance of the dark matter particle can be obtained around the scalar and Z' resonances, while direct detection experiments are mainly sensitive to scalar exchange, which is induced by mass mixing of s with the standard Higgs.

description: Il concetto di motivazione, in quanto costrutto multidimensionale, dinamico e socialmente costruito, è suscettibile di essere visto come una competenza che è possibile sviluppare lungo tutto il percorso formativo. Convinzioni e atteggiamenti possono costituire dei fattori particolarmente utili per esplorare i processi motivazionali, con riferimento ad aree complesse quali i rapporti tra motivazione, lingue e culture, tra motivazione e percezioni di sé e tra motivazione e compiti di apprendimento. Parallelamente, dal punto di vista operativo è utile considerare le strategie che insegnante e studente possono attivare, ciascuno nel proprio ruolo ma anche in una prospettiva di interdipendenza, per generare e mantenere la motivazione ad apprendere. L’illustrazione di alcuni fondamentali apporti teorici è accompagnata dalla citazione di affermazioni e di metafore di studenti, raccolte nel corso di alcuni sondaggi svolti sull’apprendimento delle lingue a scuola.

MOTIVATION IN LANGUAGE LEARNING: THEORETICAL APPROACHES AND EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS

The concept of motivation as a multidimensional, dynamic and socially conditioned construct, can be seen as a competence which developed throughout the formative process. Beliefs and attitudes are particularly useful for exploring motivational processes, with special reference to complex areas such as the relationship between motivation, language and culture, motivation and the perception of the self, and motivation and learning tasks. In the same way, it is useful to consider the strategies that teachers and students can put into effect, maintaining their roles but also working interdependently, in order to generate and maintain the motivation to learn. Theoretical approaches to motivation are illustrated by statements and metaphors produced by students and collected during a series of surveys on the learning of languages in Italian school contexts.

L’INTEGRAZIONE DELLE SECONDE GENERAZIONI E IL RUOLO DELL’ITALIANO PER LO STUDIO
Creators: name: Molina, Stefano
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2012

description: Come sta reagendo la scuola italiana di fronte alla presenza crescente dei figli dell’immigrazione? In assenza di direttive e di chiare indicazioni didattiche da parte delle autorità ministeriali, le scuole hanno risposto all’emergenza mettendo in campo l’unica risorsa abbondante di cui disponevano: la buona volontà dei docenti. Si è così assistito a un decennio di sperimentazioni e di proposte autonomamente gestite con un’infinità di iniziative di prima accoglienza e di educazione interculturale. Ma, se guardiamo al futuro, quali potrebbero essere le prospettive? Come si realizzerà l’integrazione delle seconde generazioni in Italia? Il contributo descrive le possibili traiettorie, partendo dal presupposto che l’integrazione non sarà l’esito di un percorso unico, uguale per tutti, ma discenderà da un vero e proprio mosaico di combinazioni originali tra diversi territori e comunità immigrate, ognuno con la propria identità e cultura. In tale direzione si muove il progetto sperimentale “Italiano per studiare”, promosso e sostenuto dalla Fondazione Giovanni Agnelli, in collaborazione con USR Piemonte e con l’ASAI di Torino che offre ai ragazzi di origine immigrata, con una buona conoscenza dell’italiano orale, un corso di rafforzamento della comprensione e dell’uso dell’italiano scritto, per migliorarne l’approccio ai testi disciplinari e dunque la capacità di studio.

THE INTEGRATION OF SECOND GENERATION IMMIGRANTS AND THE ROLE OF ITALIAN AT SCHOOL

How are Italian schools reacting to the growing presence of the children of immigrants? In the absence of directives and clear didactic indications on the part of the Ministry, schools have addressed the emergency by making use of the only plentiful resource they have: the good will of the teachers. The past decade has been characterized by experimentation and autonomous proposals managed thanks to countless integration initiatives and intercultural education. But if we look towards the future, what are the perspectives? How will second generations be integrated in Italy? Several possibilities are illustrated, starting from the idea that integration is not the result of a single experience, the same for all, but it is a real mosaic of combinations between the different territories and the communities of immigrants, each with their own identity and culture.The project “Italiano per studiare”, promoted and supported by the Fondazione Giovanni Agnelli, together with the USR Piemonte and the ASAI in Turin, offers a course to improve the approach to textbooks and thus to studying in general for immigrants with a sufficient knowledge of spoken Italian.

description: We consider a cable described by a discrete, space-homogeneous, quasi one-dimensional Schrödinger operator $H_0$. We study the scattering by a finite disordered piece (the scatterer) inserted inside this cable. For energies $E$ where $H_0$ has only elliptic channels we use the Lippmann-Schwinger equations to show that the scattering matrix and the transfer matrix, written in an appropriate basis, are related by a certain polar decomposition. For energies $E$ where $H_0$ has hyperbolic channels we show that the scattering matrix is related to a reduced transfer matrix and both are of smaller dimension than the transfer matrix. Moreover, in this case the scattering matrix is determined from a limit of larger dimensional scattering matrices, as follows: We take a piece of the cable of length $m$, followed by the scatterer and another piece of the cable of length $m$, consider the scattering matrix of these three joined pieces inserted inside an ideal lead at energy $E$ (ideal means only elliptic channels), and take the limit $m\to\infty$.

Come dimostrato da diversi studi, infatti, la cultura di appartenenza ricopre un ruolo fondamentale nell’apprendimento linguistico.Il presente articolo, dopo una breve comparazione tra le peculiarità delle due culture in questione secondo le categorie di Geert Hofstede (1991), illustra il metodo di insegnamento utilizzato nelle suole cinesi, il ruolo dell’insegnante all’interno della classe e della società, il rapporto tra insegnante e studente, approfondendo in modo particolare lo stile di apprendimento dei discenti sinofoni e le loro strategie messe in atto per apprendere la lingua straniera.Lo scopo è fornire informazioni che consentano di comprendere cosa accade quando i discenti sinofoni si trovano in una classe di lingua straniera o seconda con insegnanti madrelingua di culture così differenti e in un contesto di apprendimento diverso da quello già sperimentato nel loro paese e di poter rispondere alle loro esigenze con un intervento didattico adeguato.

THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN ITALIAN L2 LEARNING BY CHINESE-SPEAKERS: METHOD OF STUDY AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING IN CHINA

Often the huge difference between Italian and Chinese cultures makes the learning process for Chinese-speaking students particularly hard and slow. As many studies have shown, in fact, the home culture plays a fundamental role in language learning.This article, after a brief comparison between the two cultures according to the categories defined by Geert Hofstede (1991), illustrates teaching methods used in Chinese schools, the teacher’s role in the classroom and in society and the relationship between teacher and student, investigating the learning style of Chinese-speaking students and the strategies they implement when learning a foreign language.The aim is to offer information which aids comprehension when Chinese-speaking students are in a foreign-language class or with mother-tongue teachers from cultures that are different and in learning contexts that are different from their experience, so that their needs can be met with appropriate didactic interventions.

description: Two-stream instability requires, essentially, two things to operate: a relative flow between two fluids and some type of interaction between them. In this letter we provide the first demonstration that this mechanism may be active in a cosmological context. Building on a recently developed formalism for cosmological models with two, interpenetrating fluids with a relative flow between them, we show that two-stream instability may be triggered during the transition from one fluid domination to the other. We also demonstrate that the cosmological expansion eventually shuts down the instability by driving to zero the relativeflow and the coupling between the two fluids.

Production and assessment of Pacific hake hydrolysates as a cryoprotectant for frozen fish mince
Creators: name: Jenkelunas, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Frozen storage has long been used as a means to slow down the microbial and enzymatic degradation of fish. Unfortunately, over time frozen fish will lose protein solubility and water holding capacity leading to declining quality. To minimize the degradation of frozen fish, cryoprotectants (often a blend of sucrose and sorbitol) are employed. Although successful in limiting protein denaturation and aggregation, sugar based cryoprotectants are not suitable for diabetics or those who dislike sweet tasting fish products. A possible alternative is fish protein hydrolysate (FPH). Current knowledge on the use of FPH as a cryoprotectant, however, is limited. It is necessary to determine how FPH production parameters can be optimized for cryoprotection. It is also necessary to determine the optimal dosage of FPH in fish mince, and how FPH affects the taste of frozen fish products. In this study, response surface methodology was used to optimize processing variables, namely pH, % enzyme/substrate, and hydrolysis time for production of cryoprotective FPH. The optimization study revealed higher cryoprotective efficacy in all 20 FPH samples produced according to a central composite rotatable design compared to a sucrose/sorbitol cryoprotective blend; however, there was little difference among FPH samples. Based on these findings, it is suggested to produce FPH with 1% enzyme/substrate, 1-hour hydrolysis and no pH adjustment because these are the most economical conditions within the central composite rotatable design. FPH produced at the suggested conditions was added to cod fish mince at levels of 2, 4, 6, and 8 percent (w/w). Evaluation of expressible moisture, cook loss, salt extractable protein, and differential scanning calorimetry profiles showed no significant difference between unfrozen and freeze/thawed fish mince samples when containing at least 4 percent FPH. Sensory evaluation by trained panelists showed that the addition of FPH into fish ball products increased the fishiness, saltiness, bitterness, and firmness while decreasing the level of moistness. Panelist comments suggested a taste preference of fish products containing FPH over fish products containing sucrose/sorbitol. Based on the cryoprotective effectiveness and taste acceptability of FPH, it can be concluded that FPH is a viable alternative to sugar based cryoprotectants.

description: The nonlinear gravitational-wave memory causes a time-varying but nonoscillatory correction to the gravitational-wave polarizations. It arises from gravitational waves that are sourced by gravitational waves. Previous considerations of the nonlinear memory effect have focused on quasicircular binaries. Here, I consider the nonlinear memory from Newtonian orbits with arbitrary eccentricity. Expressions for the waveform polarizations and spin-weighted spherical-harmonic modes are derived for elliptic, hyperbolic, parabolic, and radial orbits. In the hyperbolic, parabolic, and radial cases the nonlinear memory provides a 2.5 post-Newtonian (PN) correction to the leading-order waveforms. This is in contrast to the elliptical and quasicircular cases, where the nonlinear memory corrects the waveform at leading (0PN) order. This difference in PN order arises from the fact that the memory builds up over a short "scattering" time scale in the hyperbolic case, as opposed to a much longer radiation-reaction time scale in the elliptical case. The nonlinear memory corrections presented here complete our knowledge of the leading-order (Peters-Mathews) waveforms for elliptical orbits. These calculations are also relevant for binaries with quasicircular orbits in the present epoch which had, in the past, large eccentricities. Because the nonlinear memory depends sensitively on the past evolution of a binary, I discuss the effect of this early-time eccentricity on the value of the late-time memory in nearly circularized binaries. I also discuss the observability of large "memory jumps" in a binary's past that could arise from its formation in a capture process. Lastly, I provide estimates of the signal-to-noise ratio of the linear and nonlinear memories from hyperbolic and parabolic binaries.

description: The glass problem is notoriously hard and controversial. Even at the mean-field level, little is agreed about how a fluid turns sluggish while exhibiting but unremarkable structural changes. It is clear, however, that the process involves self-caging, which provides an order parameter for the transition. It is also broadly assumed that this cage should have a Gaussian shape in the mean-field limit. Here we show that this ansatz does not hold. By performing simulations as a function of spatial dimension, we find the cage to keep a non-trivial form. Quantitative mean-field descriptions of the glass transition, such as mode-coupling theory, density functional theory, and replica theory, all miss this crucial element. Although the mean-field random first-order transition scenario of the glass transition is here qualitatively supported and non-mean-field corrections are found to remain small on decreasing dimension, reconsideration of its implementation is needed for it to result in a coherent description of experimental observations.

The effect of occupant comfort preferences and use patterns on the space heating loads in the context of the next home unit
Creators: name: Yusupov, Timor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The occupant plays an important role in residential energy consumption, and likewise, a critical part in energy conservation. Studies have shown that energy consumption in similar houses can vary significantly due to the occupant’s behaviour and household characteristics. Nevertheless, very few studies have focused on identifying the occupant driven parameters responsible for energy variations or on quantifying their impact. This study analyzes the impact of the occupant’s preferences of temperature settings, the number of thermostats used, the door operations, the use of window curtains, and the fenestration’s effect on the heating loads of a residential unit. This analysis quantifies the impact of each occupant related parameter as a function of various factors, including occupancy patterns, interior layouts, orientation, and volumetric occupation. The research answers the following questions: How significant is the influence of occupant behaviour on space heating loads? How does this vary with changes in occupancy patterns and spatial configurations? How significant is the influence of changes in fenestration on space heating loads relative to occupant behaviour? Seventeen design scenarios are generated, through which the impact of the occupant behaviour and her/his design preferences is evaluated. The results, which are generated using IES VE software, identify the impact of each occupant related parameter on the heating loads using the Next Home Unit as a model house, located in a Toronto climate. In general, the results show that the occupancy patterns, interior layout, and volumetric occupation can significantly change the impact of each occupant related parameter on a unit’s heating loads. On average, reducing a unit’s temperature from 23℃ to 18℃ or installing low e double glazed windows, most significantly reduces the heating loads. The lowest impact on the heating loads is found when changing the fenestration area and leaving the doors open. The study shows that an occupant’s actions -- such as keeping doors close, heating the room only when occupied, reducing the unit’s temperature, and installing low e glazing -- can reduce the energy required for heating. However, as the research shows, the effect of the above actions can significantly vary due to occupancy patterns, interior layout, and volumetric occupation.

description: Measurement-Induced NonLocality was introduced by Luo and Fu (Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{106}, 120401,(2011)) as a measure of nonlocality in a bipartite state. In this paper we will discuss monogamy property of measurement-induced nonlocality for some three- and four-qubit classes of states. Unlike discord, we find quite surprising results in this situation. Both the GHZ and W states satisfy monogamy relations in the three-qubit case, however, in general there are violations of monogamy relations in both the GHZ-class and W-class states. In case of four-qubit system, monogamy holds for most of the states in the generic class. Four qubit GHZ does not satisfy monogamy relation, but W-state does. We provide several numerical results including counterexamples regarding monogamy nature of measurement induced nonlocality. We will also extend our results of generalized W-class to n-qubit.

description: We implement Slow Roll Reconstruction -- an optimal solution to the inverse problem for inflationary cosmology -- within ModeCode, a publicly available solver for the inflationary dynamics. We obtain up-to-date constraints on the reconstructed inflationary potential, derived from the WMAP 7-year dataset and South Pole Telescope observations, combined with large scale structure data derived from SDSS Data Release 7. Using ModeCode in conjunction with the MultiNest sampler, we compute Bayesian evidence for the reconstructed potential at each order in the truncated slow roll hierarchy. We find that the data are well-described by the first two slow roll parameters, εand η, and that there is no need to include a nontrivial ξparameter.

Circumstellar Disks at White Dwarfs: Observations

description: The current picture painted by the observations of circumstellar dust at white dwarfs, and the consequent atmospheric pollution, is of a surviving planetary system. This chapter recounts in detail both the discovery and empirical characterization of dust disks at single white dwarfs, including all observational data available up to early 2011. Observations of the disks themselves and the accreted heavy elements within the stellar photospheres are consistent with tidally disrupted asteroid analogs. The observed chemistry supports objects that condensed within the inner regions of main-sequence stars and thus far appear similar in constitution to the terrestrial planets and their building blocks.
