description: We present a qualitative analysis of interviews with participants in the NoSleep community within Reddit where millions of fans and writers of horror fiction congregate. We explore how the community handled a massive, sudden, and sustained increase in new members. Although existing theory and stories like Usenet's infamous "Eternal September" suggest that large influxes of newcomers can hurt online communities, our interviews suggest that NoSleep survived without major incident. We propose that three features of NoSleep allowed it to manage the rapid influx of newcomers gracefully: (1) an active and well-coordinated group of administrators, (2) a shared sense of community which facilitated community moderation, and (3) technological systems that mitigated norm violations. We also point to several important trade-offs and limitations.

description: Motivation: Cognitive-behavior symptoms (CBSx) represent the surface manifestation of diverse etiology. Identification and documentation of CBSx are critical to biomedical research that targets understanding the association between the symptoms and the underlying causes including genetics, aging, injury, substance use, or infection. Seeing the lack of a semantic resource of CBSx, specifically dedicated to the symptom layer, we sought to develop a CBSx Taxonomy. Methods: We defined CBSx as any observable abnormality or reduced capacity in certain cognitive or behavioral functionality. We also collected concepts concerning the impact of CBSx on life quality and daily activities. The taxonomy was iteratively developed by synthesizing knowledge from the literature, existing biomedical ontologies, and clinical instruments that assess CBSx in patients. The concepts were manually mapped to the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). A domain expert in aging and neurogenerative diseases was consulted in curating the CBSx Taxonomy. Results: The derived taxonomy contains 258 concepts that are grouped into four major branches: cognitive symptoms, psychomotor symptoms, behavioral symptoms, and impact on life. The taxonomy has been implemented into a computable format and made available to the research community. Conclusion: By synthesizing multiple knowledge sources, we developed the CBSx Taxonomy to serve as a dedicated semantic layer for cognitive-behavioral symptoms. The taxonomy is shared publicly and is expected to benefit diverse applications including natural language processing, phenotyping, and semantic harmonization.

description: Parentage assignment is a technique that can be used in several biological applications, including biodiversity conservation and animal and plant breeding. It compares different sets of multi-locus genotype data for parents and offspring, deriving from codominant gene markers (microsatellites, SNPs). Parentage assignment is very useful for studying mating patterns, gene flow and hybridization. Here, we present acoRn, an exclusion-based parentage assignment tool that uses the Mendelian segregation principle of alleles to assign possible parents from a given dataset to each offspring within a different given dataset, after dealing with genotyping errors, missing values and duplicate genotypes. acoRn is a workflow composed by a collection of R (v4.3.0) scripts. The user provides two abundance matrices for parents and offspring as input. The output produced is a table with the estimated matches. We tested acoRn in a real use case, a natural forest where three different oak species occur sympatrically and possibly interbreed. Two datasets with multi-locus genotypes at 17 nuclear microsatellites were compared; one containing the genotypes of all 59 adult trees within a specific forest stand and the other with the genotypes of 110 juvenile trees in the same stand. acoRn was used to assign all possible (not-excluded) parents for each progeny. After identifying and clearing duplicate genotypes and cases with missing values, the results were presented in comprehensive plots and tables. acoRn has revealed that most juvenile trees derive from just a small number of parents in the forest, while many of the juvenile trees had no parent of either sex located in the specific area. Possible hybridization events were identified. acoRn depends on the assignment power of the gene marker used and for this reason we expect that it will be even more useful with large SNP datasets, for parentage assignment in any organism.

description: NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has successfully discovered thousands of exoplanet candidates using the transit method, including hundreds of stars with multiple transiting planets. In order to estimate the frequency of these valuable systems, it is essential to account for the unique geometric probabilities of detecting multiple transiting extrasolar planets around the same parent star. In order to improve on previous studies that used numerical methods, we have constructed an efficient, semi-analytical algorithm called CORBITS which, given a collection of conjectured exoplanets orbiting a star, computes the probability that any particular group of exoplanets can be observed to transit. The algorithm applies theorems of elementary differential geometry to compute the areas bounded by circular curves on the surface of a sphere (see Ragozzine & Holman 2010). The implemented algorithm is more accurate and orders of magnitude faster than previous algorithms, based on comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations. We use CORBITS to show that the present solar system would only show a maximum of 3 transiting planets, but that this varies over time due to dynamical evolution. We also used CORBITS to geometrically debias the period ratio and mutual Hill sphere distributions of Kepler's multi-transiting planet candidates, which results in shifting these distributions towards slightly larger values. In an Appendix, we present additional semi-analytical methods for determining the frequency of exoplanet mutual events, i.e., the geometric probability that two planets will transit each other (Planet-Planet Occultation, relevant to transiting circumbinary planets) and the probability that this transit occurs simultaneously as they transit their star. The CORBITS algorithms and several worked examples are publicly available at https://github.com/jbrakensiek/CORBITS

description: We reveal through extensive DFT calculations, confronted to key experimental facts, the hidden penta-silicene nature of single and double strand chiral Si nanoribbons perfectly aligned on Ag(110) surfaces, that were discovered in 2005, but whose structure remained elusive. We thus simultaneously demonstrate the existence of penta-silicene, a recently conjectured novel pentagonal silicon allotrope, which remained unveiled for 11 years, and which materializes a paradigmatic shift from normal hexagonal silicene.

description: SRP is responsible for management of a 131-mile system of canals, which must be maintained year round. To allow for the performance of routine maintenance and canal improvements, portions of main canals within the SRP network are "dried up" for a one-month period during the fall and winter seasons. As part of a larger effort to reduce erosion and water loss through ground seepage, the Grand Canal lining project was conducted to install a protective concrete lining along a previously unlined segment. This segment (the project area) is located between 40th Street and State Route (SR) 143 in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona (Figure 1). To date, more than half of the SRP system has been lined with concrete (SRP 2008).

description: We investigate a spatially discrete surrogate model for the dynamics of a slender, elastic, inextensible fiber in turbulent flows. Deduced from a continuous space-time beam model for which no solution theory is available, it consists of a high-dimensional second order stochastic differential equation in time with a nonlinear algebraic constraint and an associated Lagrange multiplier term. We establish a suitable framework for the rigorous formulation and analysis of the semi-discrete model and prove existence and uniqueness of a global strong solution. The proof is based on an explicit representation of the Lagrange multiplier and on the observation that the obtained explicit drift term in the equation satisfies a one-sided linear growth condition on the constraint manifold. The theoretical analysis is complemented by numerical studies concerning the time discretization of our model. The performance of implicit Euler-type methods can be improved when using the explicit representation of the Lagrange multiplier to compute refined initial estimates for the Newton method applied in each time step.

description: In the framework of materials design there is the demand for extensive databases of specific materials properties. In this work we suggest an improved strategy for creating future databases, especially for extrinsic properties that depend on several material parameters. As an example we choose the energy of grain boundaries as a function of their geometric degrees of freedom. The construction of existing databases of grain boundary energies in face-centred and body centred cubic metals relied on the a-priori knowledge of the location of important cusps and maxima in the five-dimensional energy landscape, and on an as-densely- as-possible sampling strategy. We introduce two methods to improve the current state of the art. The location and number of the energy minima along which the hierarchical sampling takes place is predicted from existing data points without any a-priori knowledge, using a predictor function. Furthermore we show that it is more efficient to use a sequential sampling in a \design of experiment" scheme, rather than sampling all observations homogeneously in one batch. This sequential design exhibits a smaller error than the simultaneous one, and thus can provide the same accuracy with fewer data points. The new strategy should be particularly beneficial in the exploration of grain boundary energies in new alloys and/or non-cubic structures.

description: In this paper, a novel cluster-based approach for optimizing the energy efficiency of wireless small cell networks is proposed. A dynamic mechanism based on the spectral clustering technique is proposed to dynamically form clusters of small cell base stations. Such clustering enables intra-cluster coordination among the base stations for optimizing the downlink performance through load balancing, while satisfying users' quality-of-service requirements. In the proposed approach, the clusters use an opportunistic base station sleep-wake switching mechanism to strike a balance between delay and energy consumption. The inter-cluster interference affects the performance of the clusters and their choices of active or sleep state. Due to the lack of inter-cluster communications, the clusters have to compete with each other to make decisions on improving the energy efficiency. This competition is formulated as a noncooperative game among the clusters that seek to minimize a cost function which captures the tradeoff between energy expenditure and load. To solve this game, a distributed learning algorithm is proposed using which the clusters autonomously choose their optimal transmission strategies. Simulation results show that the proposed approach yields significant performance gains in terms of reduced energy expenditures up to 40% and reduced load up to 23% compared to conventional approaches.

description: We present new measurements of the dust emissivity index, beta, for the high-mass, star-forming OMC 2/3 filament. We combine 160-500 um data from Herschel with long-wavelength observations at 2 mm and fit the spectral energy distributions across a ~ 2 pc long, continuous section of OMC 2/3 at 15000 AU (0.08 pc) resolution. With these data, we measure beta and reconstruct simultaneously the filtered-out large-scale emission at 2 mm. We implement both variable and fixed values of beta, finding that beta = 1.7 - 1.8 provides the best fit across most of OMC 2/3. These beta values are consistent with a similar analysis carried out with filtered Herschel data. Thus, we show that beta values derived from spatial filtered emission maps agree well with those values from unfiltered data at the same resolution. Our results contradict the very low beta values (~ 0.9) previously measured in OMC 2/3 between 1.2 mm and 3.3 mm data, which we attribute to elevated fluxes in the 3.3 mm observations. Therefore, we find no evidence or rapid, extensive dust grain growth in OMC 2/3. Future studies with Herschel data and complementary ground-based long-wavelength data can apply our technique to obtain robust determinations of beta in nearby cold molecular clouds.

description: Hochbegabte Kinder sind in der Sonderpädagogik eine eher vernachlässigte Gruppe. Und doch sind sie ein sonderpädagogisches Phänomen, welchem Beachtung geschenkt werden soll.
 Die Vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Befindlichkeit von Hochbegabten in Bezug auf ihre Peers. Bekannt ist, dass es Hochbegabten oft schwerfällt, sich mit Gleichaltrigen auseinanderzusetzten. Das Ziel der Arbeit ist nun, einen Beitrag zu leisten um die Frage zu beantworten, wie sich diese Kinder im Alltag, in Bezug auf ihre Peers fühlen.
 In Anlehnung an die Experience Sampling Method nach Hektner, Schmidt und Csikszentmihalyi (2007), soll ein Einblick in die Gefühle von Hochbegabten, gewonnen werden. 5 Kinder stellten sich zur Verfügung genau Auskunft über ihr Befinden zu geben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Kinder sich grundsätzlich wohl fühlen mit ihren Peers, oftmals aber ihre Zeit lieber mit älteren Kindern oder alleine verbringen.

description: Unaccounted for systematics from foregrounds and instruments can severely limit the sensitivity of current experiments from detecting redshifted 21~cm signals from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). Upcoming experiments are faced with a challenge to deliver more collecting area per antenna element without degrading the data with systematics. This paper and its companions show that dishes are viable for achieving this balance using the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) as an example. Here, we specifically identify spectral systematics associated with the antenna power pattern as a significant detriment to all EoR experiments which causes the already bright foreground power to leak well beyond ideal limits and contaminate the otherwise clean EoR signal modes. A primary source of this chromaticity is reflections in the antenna-feed assembly and between structures in neighboring antennas. Using precise foreground simulations taking wide-field effects into account, we provide a framework to set cosmologically-motivated design specifications on these reflections to prevent further EoR signal degradation. We show HERA will not be impeded by such spectral systematics and demonstrate that even in a conservative scenario that does not perform removal of foregrounds, HERA will detect EoR signal in line-of-sight $k$-modes, $k_\parallel \gtrsim 0.2\,h$~Mpc$^{-1}$, with high significance. All baselines in a 19-element HERA layout are capable of detecting EoR over a substantial observing window on the sky.

description: Thermodynamics places a limit on the efficiency of heat engines, but not on their output power or on how the power and efficiency change with the engine's cycle time. In this manuscript, we develop a geometrical description of the power and efficiency as a function of the cycle time, applicable to an important class of heat engine models. This geometrical description is used to design engine protocols that attain both the maximal power and maximal efficiency at the fast driving limit. Furthermore, using this method we also prove that no protocol can exactly attain the Carnot efficiency at non-zero power.

description: Die Reformen im Bereich der Sonderpädagogik mit dem Grundsatz Integration vor Separation haben das Bildungssystem auf allen Ebenen erschüttert. Die Integration von Kindern mit besonderen Bedürfnissen stellt die Lehrpersonen vor neue Herausforderungen. Das Fallbeispiel einer Schülerin mit Lernschwierigkeiten und einem abgewiesenen Antrag auf Sonderschulung zeigt, wie schwierig die Integration in den bestehenden Strukturen unseres Schulsystems sein kann. Mit einer systemtheoretischen (soziologischen) Sichtweise wird aufgezeigt, in welchen Feldern des Schulsystems die erzwungene Integration einer Schülerin mit Lernschwierigkeiten Spannungen erzeugt. Es wurden drei personenzentrierte Interviews durchgeführt und mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Rekonstruktion des Falls verweist auf eine hohe Grundspannung, die aus den Widersprüchen zwischen Qualifikations-, Integrations- und Selektionsfunktion der Schule resultieren. Im Feld der Lehrpersonen wird sichtbar, dass der Umgang mit der Schülerin hohe Ansprüche an die Rollenperformanz aller Beiteiligten stellt. Auf dieser Ebene werden Bewältigungsstrategien sichtbar, die sich positiv auf die Integration der Schülerin auswirken.

description: Remote state preparation (RSP) provides an indirect way of manipulating quantum information based on the nonlocal effect of quantum measurement. Although RSP has been demonstrated in recent years to remotely prepare multi-photon states, quantum measurement on the same number of photons was required, i.e., to prepare N-photon states via RSP, quantum measurement on the other N-photons was required, hence significantly limiting practicality and applicability of RSP. Here we report the first experimental demonstration of remote preparation of three-photon entangled states by measuring only a single-photon entangled with the three photons. We further generalize our protocol to prepare multi-photon entangled states with arbitrary photon number and purity via single-photon measurement. As our RSP scheme relies on the nonlinearity induced by single-photon measurement, it enables quantum state engineering of multi-photon entangled states beyond the linear optical limit. Our results are expected to have significant impacts on quantum metrology and quantum information processing.

description: Low-frequency observations of pulsars provide a powerful means for probing the microstructure in the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM). Here we report on high-resolution dynamic spectral analysis of our observations of the timing-array millisecond pulsar J0437-4715 with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), enabled by our recently commissioned tied-array beam processing pipeline for voltage data recorded from the high time resolution mode of the MWA. A secondary spectral analysis reveals faint parabolic arcs, akin to those seen in high-frequency observations of pulsars with the Green Bank and Arecibo telescopes. Data from Parkes observations at a higher frequency of 732 MHz reveal a similar parabolic feature, with a curvature that scales approximately as the square of the observing wavelength ($λ^2$) to the MWA's frequency of 192 MHz. Our analysis suggests that scattering toward PSR J0437-4715 predominantly arises from a compact region about 115 pc from the Earth, which matches well with the expected location of the edge of the Local Bubble that envelopes the local Solar neighborhood. As well as demonstrating new and improved pulsar science capabilities of the MWA, our analysis underscores the potential of low-frequency pulsar observations for gaining valuable insights into the local ISM and for characterizing the ISM toward timing-array pulsars.

description: Magnetic and magneto-functional behavior of a Fe-doped MnNiGe alloy with nominal composition Mn$_{0.85}$Fe$_{0.15}$NiGe have been investigated in ambient as well as in high pressure condition. The alloy undergoes first order martensitic phase transition (MPT) around 200 K and also shows large conventional magnetocaloric effect (MCE) ($ΔS$ $\sim$ -21 J/kg-K for magnetic field ($H$) changing from 0-50 kOe) around the transition in ambient condition. Application of external hydrostatic pressure ($P$) results a shift in MPT towards the lower temperature and a clear decrease in the saturation moment of the alloy at 5 K. The peak value of MCE is also found to decrease with increasing external $P$ ($\sim$ 18 J/kg-K decrease in $ΔS$ has been observed for $P$ = 12.5 kbar). The most interesting observation is the occurance of exchange bias effect (EBE) on application of external $P$. The competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interaction in presence of external $P$ plays the pivotal role towards the observation of $P$ induced EBE.

description: It is well-known that stable and unstable manifolds strongly influence fluid motion in unsteady flows. These emanate from hyperbolic trajectories, with the structures moving nonautonomously in time. The local directions of emanation at each instance in time is the focus of this article. Within a nearly autonomous setting, it is shown that these time-varying directions can be characterised through the accumulated effect of velocity shear. Connections to Oseledets spaces and projection operators in exponential dichotomies are established. Availability of data for both infinite and finite time-intervals is considered. With microfluidic flow control in mind, a methodology for manipulating these directions in any prescribed time-varying fashion by applying a local velocity shear is developed. The results are verified for both smoothly and discontinuously time-varying directions using finite-time Lyapunov exponent fields, and excellent agreement is obtained.

description: Sparse representation has attracted much attention from researchers in fields of signal processing, image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition. Sparse representation also has a good reputation in both theoretical research and practical applications. Many different algorithms have been proposed for sparse representation. The main purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive study and an updated review on sparse representation and to supply a guidance for researchers. The taxonomy of sparse representation methods can be studied from various viewpoints. For example, in terms of different norm minimizations used in sparsity constraints, the methods can be roughly categorized into five groups: sparse representation with $l_0$-norm minimization, sparse representation with $l_p$-norm (0$

description: Die Vereinten Nationen (UNO) haben am 13. Dezember 2006 das Übereinkommen über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen verabschiedet. Es enthält 50 Artikel, in denen die Menschenrechte allgemein, die Gleichberechtigung sowie die Teilhabe aller an der Gesellschaft thematisiert werden. Die spezifischen Bedürfnisse und Rechte von Menschen mit einer Behinderung stehen dabei im Vordergrund. Artikel 24 der Konvention befasst sich explizit mit dem Thema Bildung, mit dem Ziel, allen Schülerinnen und Schülern eine inklusive Beschulung zu ermöglichen. Um dies zu gewährleisten, sind die Vertragsstaaten verpflichtet, die notwendigen Unterstützungsmassnahmen und Ressourcen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Spanien hat die Behindertenrechtskonvention unterschrieben und 2008 ratifiziert, damit hat sich das Land verpflichtet, die Vorgaben umzusetzen und die Gesetze entsprechend anzupassen oder neu zu erlassen. In der Autonomen Region Kantabrien gelten sowohl die staatlichen als auch die regionalen Bildungsgesetze. In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es um die Frage, wie weit die Vorgaben der Behindertenrechtskonvention in den Regelschulen von Kantabrien umgesetzt werden und ob genügend Ressourcen und Massnahmen vorhanden sind, um die von der Behindertenrechtskonvention verlangte Inklusion im Bildungssystem durchzuführen.

description: Present work reports on the observation of multiple magnetic transitions in a Ni-excess ferromagnetic shape memory alloy with nominal composition Ni$_{2.048}$Mn$_{1.312}$In$_{0.64}$. The magnetization data reveal two distinct thermal hystereses associated with two different phase transitions at different temperature regions. The high temperature magnetic hysteresis is due to the martensitic phase transition whereas the low temperature hysteresis occurs around the magnetic anomaly signifying the transition from a paramagnetic-like state to the ferromagetic ground state within the martensite. Clear thermal hysteresis along with the sign of the curvatures of Arrott plot curves confirm the {\it first order nature of both the transitions}. In addition, the studied alloy is found to be functionally rich with the observation of large magnetoresistance (-45\% and -4\% at 80 kOe) and magnetocaloric effect (+16.7 J.kg$^{-1}$.K$^{-1}$ and -2.25 J.kg$^{-1}$.K$^{-1}$ at 50 kOe) around these two hysteresis regions (300 K and 195 K respectively).

description: In this paper, a novel approach for joint power control and user scheduling is proposed for optimizing energy efficiency (EE), in terms of bits per unit power, in ultra dense small cell networks (UDNs). To address this problem, a dynamic stochastic game (DSG) is formulated between small cell base stations (SBSs). This game enables to capture the dynamics of both queues and channel states of the system. To solve this game, assuming a large homogeneous UDN deployment, the problem is cast as a mean field game (MFG) in which the MFG equilibrium is analyzed with the aid of two low-complexity tractable partial differential equations. User scheduling is formulated as a stochastic optimization problem and solved using the drift plus penalty (DPP) approach in the framework of Lyapunov optimization. Remarkably, it is shown that by weaving notions from Lyapunov optimization and mean field theory, the proposed solution yields an equilibrium control policy per SBS which maximizes the network utility while ensuring users' quality-of-service. Simulation results show that the proposed approach achieves up to 18:1% gains in EE and 98.2% reductions in the network's outage probability compared to a baseline model.

description: In einigen Zürcher Gemeinden ist eine immer höhere Zahl an Kindern zu beobachten, die bereits im Kindergarten besondere pädagogische Bedürfnisse haben. Die Vermutung liegt hier nahe, dass einige Kinder nicht aufgrund primärer Vulnerabilitäten einen Förderbedarf aufweisen, sondern aufgrund entwicklungshemmender Bedingungen im familiären Kontext. Diese Hypothese führte zum Ziel, ein Instrument zu entwickeln, welches den Eltern Anregungen zur Förderung ihres Kindes im häuslichen Umfeld bietet. Eine Inhaltsanalyse vorhandener Ratgeber brachte eine grosse Zahl an Fördermöglichkeiten hervor, die anhand erarbeiteter Kriterien auf deren Eignung für einen adressatenspezifischen Elternratgeber beurteilt wurden. Entstanden ist ein Elternratgeber, der angelehnt an das Schulische Standortgespräch des Kantons Zürich, auf die neun Lebensbereiche (Kindergartenstufe) nach ICF aufbaut.

description: We propose a quantum Otto cycle based on the properties of a two-level system in a realistic out-of-thermal-equilibrium electromagnetic field acting as its sole reservoir. This steady configuration is produced without the need of active control over the state of the environment, which is a non-coherent thermal radiation, sustained only by external heat supplied to macroscopic objects. Remarkably, even for non-ideal finite-time transformations, it largely over-performs the standard ideal Otto cycle, and asymptotically achieves unit efficiency at finite power.

description: The article discusses the globalisation of sports and its impact on India, where cricket is the dominant sport. The author compares India's performance in international sports, particularly the Olympics, to that of other countries and notes that despite investment in major events and some individual successes, the country has not made a significant impact in the global arena. The lack of a sports culture and the lack of support for athletes who choose to pursue sports as a profession are cited as factors contributing to this limited success. The author suggests that in order to improve, there needs to be a shift in societal attitudes towards sports and more support for athletes.

description: The aim of this paper is to study the growth and corporate governance implications of market concentration in the GCC banking sector. It will begin by defining corporate governance, its significance in the context of banks, and how it can be improved by more competition or less concentration in the banking market. It will then discuss the importance of corporate governance to ?better functioning and well-behaved? financial systems, and how both can favorably affect growth. A discussion of the GCC economies and banking system will follow, with an emphasis on market concentration in the banking system. To document empirically the effect of banking market concentration on growth, we estimate a growth model to capture this effect, and find that the effect is positive but conditioned by the level of financial development.The paper conclude by stating that policies aimed at opening the GCC banking market, and creating less concentration in the process, will have a positive effect on growth when the financial system is relatively more developed.
