description: A few weeks ago, I sat in the audience of an atypical professional panel at an uplifting conference. The panel and audience members, all enthusiastic alumni and students of my alma mater’s English Department, were discussing the career paths they had (or had not) chosen since college graduation. There were contributions from two lawyers, two English teachers, a global corporate chairman, and a few graduate students, as well as a smattering of undergraduates who were eager and anxious to learn more about possible job opportunities. Despite our diverse backgrounds and at times contentious conversation, we left that conference room having agreed on at least one thing: successful professionals are exceptional analysts. Someone who builds a principled argument in the courtroom, the boardroom, the classroom, or any other room, will go a long way. I had remarked that knowing how to analyze hinges on not only being able to build arguments, but also on being able to break them down. In order to critically engage with or respond to a piece of text, one must understand it in a deep sense, and mull over the connections within or between the lines. From intricate exploration comes enlightening analysis, no matter the context. As a student who entrenches herself in Conversation Analysis (CA), I find this conclusion heartening, for often in social encounters with fellow scholars, teachers, friends, or family members, I must publically wrestle with the following questions: Why do you analyze talk? What, exactly, do you do, anyway? And of course, the dreaded: Seriously, Catherine, who really cares about this stuff?

description: We present the first application of a "multiple-tracer" redshift-space distortion (RSD) analysis to an observational galaxy sample, using data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly survey (GAMA). Our dataset is an r < 19.8 magnitude-limited sample of 178,579 galaxies covering redshift interval z < 0.5 and area 180 deg^2. We obtain improvements of 10-20% in measurements of the gravitational growth rate compared to a single-tracer analysis, deriving from the correlated sample variance imprinted in the distributions of the overlapping galaxy populations. We present new expressions for the covariances between the auto-power and cross-power spectra of galaxy samples that are valid for a general survey selection function and weighting scheme. We find no evidence for a systematic dependence of the measured growth rate on the galaxy tracer used, justifying the RSD modelling assumptions, and validate our results using mock catalogues from N-body simulations. For multiple tracers selected by galaxy colour, we measure normalized growth rates in two independent redshift bins f*sigma_8(z=0.18) = 0.36 +/- 0.09 and f*sigma_8(z=0.38) = 0.44 +/- 0.06, in agreement with standard GR gravity and other galaxy surveys at similar redshifts.

description: This paper examines the quality of seasonal probabilistic forecasts of near-global temperature and precipitation issued by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) from late 1997 through 2008, using mainly a two-tiered multimodel dynamical prediction system. Skill levels, while modest when globally averaged, depend markedly on season and location and average higher in the tropics than extratropics. To first order, seasons and regions of useful skill correspond to known direct effects as well as remote teleconnections from anomalies of tropical sea surface temperature in the Pacific Ocean (e.g., ENSO related) and in other tropical basins. This result is consistent with previous skill assessments by IRI and others and suggests skill levels beneficial to informed clients making climate risk management decisions for specific applications. Skill levels for temperature are generally higher, and less seasonally and regionally dependent, than those for precipitation, partly because of correct forecasts of enhanced probabilities for above-normal temperatures associated with warming trends. However, underforecasting of above-normal temperatures suggests that the dynamical forecast system could be improved through inclusion of time-varying greenhouse gas concentrations. Skills of the objective multimodel probability forecasts, used as the primary basis for the final forecaster-modified issued forecasts, are comparable to those of the final forecasts, but their probabilistic reliability is somewhat weaker. Automated recalibration of the multimodel output should permit improvements to their reliability, allowing them to be issued as is. IRI is currently developing single-tier prediction components.

description: Despite the growing number of research studies in recent years, what is known about child second language acquisition (SLA) remains by and large a fraction of what is still to be known. In the present review, child SLA is defined as pertinent to both second language (L2) and sequential bilingual learners between the ages of two and twelve. Studies undertaken over the past 15 years are subdivided by paradigm (i.e., the generativists, the emergentists, the psycholinguists, and the neurocognitivists) and then thoroughly discussed. These studies are presented and critiqued in such a way that the significant holes persisting in our general understanding of child SLA will become apparent.
Universal features in the energetics of symmetry breaking

description: A symmetry breaking (SB) involves an abrupt change in the set of microstates that a system can explore. This change has unavoidable thermodynamic implications. According to Boltzmann's microscopic interpretation of entropy, a shrinkage of the set of compatible states implies a decrease of entropy, which eventually needs to be compensated by dissipation of heat and consequently requires work. Examples are the compression of a gas and the erasure of information. On the other hand, in a spontaneous SB, the available phase space volume changes without the need for work, yielding an apparent decrease of entropy. Here we show that this decrease of entropy is a key ingredient in the Szilard engine and Landauer's principle and report on a direct measurement of the entropy change along SB transitions in a Brownian particle. The SB is induced by a bistable potential created with two optical traps. The experiment confirms theoretical results based on fluctuation theorems, allows us to reproduce the Szilard engine extracting energy from a single thermal bath, and shows that the signature of a SB in the energetics is measurable, providing new methods to detect, for example, the coexistence of metastable states in macromolecules.

A well-respected researcher who helped found the field of SLA with his Interlanguage Hypothesis 40 years ago, Professor Selinker has persistently sought to advance the research space vis-a-vis the second language (L2) learner’s developing system. His conception of interlanguage fossilization, in particular, has been a fundamental impetus for many existing strands of SLA research, including L2 learnability and teachability, as well as ultimate attainment.

Influence of bulk inversion asymmetry on the magneto-optical spectrum of a HgTe topological insulator

description: The influence of bulk inversion asymmetry in [001] and [013] grown HgTe quantum wells is investigated theoretically. The bulk inversion asymmetry leads to an anti-crossing gap between two zero-mode Landau levels in a HgTe topological insulator, i.e., the quantum well with inverted band structure. It is found that this is the main contribution to the anti-crossing splitting observed in recent experimental magneto spectroscopic measurements. The relevant optical transitions involve different subbands, but the electron-electron interaction induced depolarization shift is found to be negligibly small. It is also found that the splitting of this anti-crossing only depends weakly on the tilting angle when the magnetic field is tilted away from the perpendicular direction to the quantum well. Thus, the strength of bulk inversion asymmetry can be determined via a direct comparison between the theoretical calculated one-electron energy levels and experimentally observed anti-crossing energy gap.

description: Foreign language educators dedicated to facilitating a communicative classroom often express their satisfaction when their learners actively engage the target language with minimal teacher interference. However, with the nearly ubiquitous implementation of pair- and group- work activities in the language classroom, it is virtually impossible for even the most perceptive teachers to be cognizant of the dynamics of every conversation. Even in what may appear to be cooperative, equal participation in the completion of the task, conflicts, domination and marginalization of participants can emerge. In this study, a semi-autonomous learning environment in which students were placed in pairs to complete a learning task without the teacher present to mediate the student interaction was examined using Conversation Analysis (CA). It was found that the participants each attempted to be in control of the task and their partner by competing for the position of “the dominant knower,” resulting in a prolonged power struggle. The fact that the teacher was called in to settle their disagreements even inadvertently reinforced one student’s claim to the dominant position.
title: A Cloud Infrastructure for Large Scale Health Monitoring in Older Adult Care Facilities
Creators: name: David, Uchechukwu Gabriel
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Technology development in the sub-field of older adult care has always been on the back-burner compared to other healthcare areas. But with increasing life expectancy, this is poised to change. With the increasing older adult population, the current older adult care facilities and personnel are struggling to keep up with demand. Research conducted in the Netherlands [1] found 33,000 older adults were awaiting admission into a home for the elderly showing that demand far exceeds availability. This huge demand for older adult care has resulted in a decrease in the quality of care being provided. A recent study involving older adults aged 65 and above [2] compared the quality of care given to older adults in nursing homes in the UK and found it to be inadequate. While it is true that giant strides have been made in the field of personal health and fitness [3], we have to acknowledge that these technologies have not found widespread adoption in the elderly communities for a number of reasons which include lack of education, cognitive impediments, low-income and techno-phobia [4]. We believe that older adult care technologies should be approached from a different perspective in order to maximize outcomes. Inventions in the health care space are a moving target and a significant degree of technical aptitude and interest is required to keep up with these changes. My research work will be focused on developing a distributed system infrastructure that will enable large-scale monitoring of vital signals and early detection of emergency situations in nursing homes and assisted living communities. This new approach will increase automation in nursing homes leading to a reduction in running cost and an increase in capacity

description: Probabilistic forecasts of variables measured on a categorical or ordinal scale, such as precipitation occurrence or temperatures exceeding a threshold, are typically verified by comparing the relative frequency with which the target event occurs given different levels of forecast confidence. The degree to which this conditional (on the forecast probability) relative frequency of an event corresponds with the actual forecast probabilities is known as reliability, or calibration. Forecast reliability for binary variables can be measured using the Murphy decomposition of the (half) Brier score, and can be presented graphically using reliability and attributes diagrams. For forecasts of variables on continuous scales, however, an alternative measure of reliability is required. The binned probability histogram and the reliability component of the continuous ranked probability score have been proposed as appropriate verification procedures in this context, but are subject to some limitations. A procedure is proposed that is applicable in the context of forecast ensembles and is an extension of the binned probability histogram. Individual ensemble members are treated as estimates of quantiles of the forecast distribution, and the conditional probability that the observed precipitation, for example, exceeds the amount forecast [the conditional exceedance probability (CEP)] is calculated. Generalized linear regression is used to estimate these conditional probabilities. A diagram showing the CEPs for ranked ensemble members is suggested as a useful method for indicating reliability when forecasts are on a continuous scale, and various statistical tests are suggested for quantifying the reliability.

description: Societal needs for climate information on decadal timescales is confirmed in terms of its potential value and relevance as a driver in sector decision-making, but such information is currently lacking. Predictions and observationally based analyses for decadal climate variability and change are needed. In addition, the following issues have been identified as those that must be addressed in order to facilitate effective use of climate information on decadal timescales in the decision-making processes of different socio-economic sectors: building effective partnership systems linking stakeholders, users and decision-making sectors and climate information providers; more research and investment is to translate information of large-scale decadal variations into the regional and local scales required for decisions; maintaining and sustaining the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), in particular, enhancement of the global ocean observing system; and, ways to assemble, check quality, reprocess and reanalyse datasets relevant to decadal prediction. Ways of securing climate observing systems particularly in least developed regions are urgently needed.

description: During embryonic development, melanoblasts, the precursors of melanocytes, emerge from a subpopulation of the neural crest stem cells and migrate to colonize skin. Melanomas arise during melanoblast differentiation into melanocytes and from young proliferating melanocytes through somatic mutagenesis and epigenetic regulations. In the present study, we used several human melanoma cell lines from the sequential phases of melanoma development (radial growth phase, vertical growth phase and metastatic phase) to compare: (i) the frequency and efficiency of the induction of cell death via apoptosis and necroptosis; (ii) the presence of neural and cancer stem cell biomarkers as well as death receptors, DR5 and FAS, in both adherent and spheroid cultures of melanoma cells; (iii) anti-apoptotic effects of the endogenous production of cytokines and (iv) the ability of melanoma cells to perform neural trans-differentiation. We demonstrated that programed necrosis or necroptosis, could be induced in two metastatic melanoma lines, FEMX and OM431, while the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis was prevalent in a vast majority of melanoma lines. All melanoma lines used in the current study expressed substantial levels of pluripotency markers, SOX2 and NANOG. There was a trend for increasing expression of Nestin, an early neuroprogenitor marker, during melanoma progression. Most of the melanoma lines, including WM35, FEMX and A375, can grow as a spheroid culture in serum-free media with supplements. It was possible to induce neural trans-differentiation of 1205Lu and OM431 melanoma cells in serum-free media supplemented with insulin. This was confirmed by the expression of neuronal markers, doublecortin and β3-Tubulin, by significant growth of neurites and by the negative regulation of this process by a dominant-negative Rac1N17. These results suggest a relative plasticity of differentiated melanoma cells and a possibility for their neural trans-differentiation without the necessity for preliminary dedifferentiation.

The Campaign data pipeline achieves median contrasts of 12.6 magnitudes at 0.5" and 14.4 magnitudes at 1" separation, for a sample of 45 stars (V= 4.3-13.9 mag) from the early phase of the Campaign. We also present a novel approach to calculating contrast curves for companion detection based on 95% completeness in the recovery of artificial companions injected into the raw data, while accounting for the false-positive rate. We use this technique to select the image processing algorithms that are more successful at recovering faint simulated point sources. We compare our pipeline to the performance of the LOCI algorithm for NICI data and do not find significant improvement with LOCI.

description: Trees in a community provide numerous benefits, including reducing ambient temperature, removing gaseous and particulate pollutants from the air, sequestering atmospheric carbon, and improving stormwater retention and filtration. However, trees also pose risks, especially in proximity to overhead utility lines. Trees near utility lines cause a large proportion of electrical power outages. As such, trees must be frequently and often severely pruned away from lines to minimize this risk. Presumably, community trees not growing near overhead utility lines are not pruned as frequently or severely. The objectives of this study are to (i) assess factors related to both individual trees and the sample populations of trees growing near and away from overhead utility lines, and (ii) determine whether those factors differed between the two groups. From May through September 2020, I sampled 200 utility easement plots and 200 non-utility plots in Eversource Energy’s distribution territories, measuring 2361 trees. I measured diameter at breast height (DBH), crown height and spread, percent crown missing, percent twig dieback, and likelihood of failure. Using this field collected data, I conducted an i-Tree Eco assessment to evaluate the contribution ecosystem services delivered by trees at each sampling site.

description: We study the analytical properties of a one-side order book model in which the flows of limit and market orders are Poisson processes and the distribution of lifetimes of cancelled orders is exponential. Although simplistic, the model provides an analytical tractability that should not be overlooked. Using basic results for birth-and-death processes, we build an analytical formula for the shape (depth) of a continuous order book model which is both founded by market mechanisms and very close to empirically tested formulas. We relate this shape to the probability of execution of a limit order, highlighting a law of conservation of the flows of orders in an order book. We then extend our model by allowing random sizes of limit orders, hereby allowing to study the relationship between the size of the incoming limit orders and the shape of the order book. Our theoretical model shows that, for a given total volume of incoming limit orders, the less limit orders are submitted (i.e. the larger the average size of these limit orders), the deeper is the order book around the spread. This theoretical relationship is finally empirically tested on several stocks traded on the Paris stock exchange.

description: We study the effects of various phenomena which may have happened in the early universe on the spectrum of inflationary gravitational waves. The phenomena include phase transitions, entropy productions from non-relativistic matter, the production of dark radiation, and decoupling of dark matter/radiation from thermal bath. These events can create several characteristic signatures in the inflationary gravitational wave spectrum, which may be direct probes of the history of the early universe and the nature of high-energy physics.

description: Fast, reversible redox reactions in solids at low temperatures without thermomechanical degradation are a promising strategy for enhancing the overall performance and lifetime of many energy materials and devices. However, the robust nature of the cation's oxidation state and the high thermodynamic barrier have hindered the realization of fast catalysis and bulk diffusion at low temperatures. Here, we report a significant lowering of the redox temperature by epitaxial stabilization of strontium cobaltites (SrCoOx) grown directly as one of two distinct crystalline phases, either the perovskite SrCoO3-δ or the brownmillerite SrCoO2.5. Importantly, these two phases can be reversibly switched at a remarkably reduced temperature (200~300 °C) in a considerably short time (< 1 min) without destroying the parent framework. The fast, low temperature redox activity in SrCoO3-δ is attributed to a small Gibbs free energy difference between two topotatic phases. Our findings thus provide useful information for developing highly sensitive electrochemical sensors and low temperature cathode materials.

description: The International Research Institute for Climate Prediction (IRI) was formed in late 1996 with the aim of fostering the improvement, production, and use of global forecasts of seasonal to interannual climate variability for the explicit benefit of society. The development of the 1997/98 El Niño provided an ideal impetus to the IRI Experimental Forecast Division (IRI EFD) to generate seasonal climate forecasts on an operational basis. In the production of these forecasts an extensive suite of forecasting tools has been developed, and these are described in this paper. An argument is made for the need for a multimodel ensemble approach and for extensive validation of each model's ability to simulate interannual climate variability accurately. The need for global sea surface temperature forecasts is demonstrated. Forecasts of precipitation and air temperature are presented in the form of "net assessments," following the format adopted by the regional consensus forums. During the 1997/98 El Niño,the skill of the net assessments was greater than chance, except over Europe, and in most cases was an improvement over a forecast of persistence of the latest month's climate anomaly.

description: Extreme phases of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon have been blamed for precipitation anomalies in many areas of the world. In some areas the probability of above–normal precipitation may be increased during warm or cold events, while in others below–normal precipitation may be more likely. The percentages of times that seasonal precipitation over land areas was above, near, and below normal during the eight strongest El Niño and La Niña episodes are tabulated, and the significance levels of the posterior probabilities are calculated using the hypergeometric distribution. These frequencies may provide a useful starting point for probabilistic climate forecasts during strong ENSO events. Areas with significantly high or low frequencies or above– or below–normal precipitation are highlighted, and attempts are made to estimate the proportion of land areas with significant ENSO–related precipitation signals. There is a danger of overstating the global impact of ENSO events because only about 20%–30% of land areas experience significantly increased probabilities of above– or below–normal seasonal precipitation during at least some part of the year. Since different areas are affected at different times of the year, the fraction of global land affected in any particular season is only about 15%–25%. The danger of focusing on the impact of only warm–phase events is emphasized also: the global impact of La Niña seems to be at least as widespread as that of El Niño. Furthermore, there are a number of notable asymmetries in precipitation responses to El Niño and La Niña events. For many areas it should not be assumed that the typical climate anomaly of one ENSO extreme is likely to be the opposite of the other extreme. A high frequency of above–normal precipitation during strong El Niño conditions, for example, does not guarantee a high frequency of below–normal precipitation during La Niña events, or vice versa. On a global basis El Niño events are predominantly associated with below–normal seasonal precipitation over land, whereas La Niña events result in a wider extent of above–normal precipitation.
title: Development of a New Behavioral Assay for Juvenile Berghia stephanieae

description: Developing robust behavioral assays to study olfactory-driven behaviors allows for greater insight into the neural mechanisms behind them. Oftentimes, olfactory behavioral assays require a two-choice design, consistent variables, and controlled stimulus application. This can be challenging when working with marine dwelling organisms such as nudibranchs. Extensive work shows the importance of olfaction in both pre-metamorphic larval development and adult stage nudibranchs (Gastropoda, Mollusca). However, there is little research investigating how olfaction plays a role in rapidly developing, post-metamorphic juvenile nudibranchs such as Berghia stephanieae. To study olfactory-associated behaviors in juvenile Berghia, a novel behavioral microfluidic chip was designed which met the requirements for a reliable olfaction assay. Baseline motor behaviors such as general locomotion, turns, and contractions were observed. Despite individuals being raised in the same cohort, animal-to-animal variability was found in relation to their baseline behaviors. Xylene cyanol, a commonly used dye in microfluidics, was found to be aversive at a range of concentrations (0.075% - 0.025%) causing the animal to tightly contract and turn away from the stimulus. Juveniles showed no significant behavioral response to a 0.00125% dilution which was necessary to confirm a constant flow in the microfluidic chip. Juveniles showed a strong preference towards fluid that had been conditioned with their preferred food source odor, the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana. This was judged to be an innate preference because it occurred upon the first exposure of these animals to the odor. Serial dilution of Exaiptasia conditioned seawater (ECS) uncovered a threshold for behavioral preference of 60%. In summary, the development of this behavioral provides an opportunity to present controlled olfactory stimuli while observing the juvenile’s behaviors. This will allow future experiments to examine the neural mechanisms behind both aversive and attractive stimuli and provides a method for testing olfactory learning and memory in this species.
