description: We present a generalization of Lie's method for finding the group invariant solutions to a system of partial differential equations. Our generalization relaxes the standard transversality assumption and encompasses the common situation where the reduced differential equations for the group invariant solutions involve both fewer dependent and independent variables. The theoretical basis for our method is provided by a general existence theorem for the invariant sections, both local and global, of a bundle on which a finite dimensional Lie group acts. A simple and natural extension of our characterization of invariant sections leads to an intrinsic characterization of the reduced equations for the group invariant solutions for a system of differential equations. The characterization of both the invariant sections and the reduced equations are summarized schematically by the kinematic and dynamic reduction diagrams and are illustrated by a number of examples from fluid mechanics, harmonic maps, and general relativity. This work also provides the theoretical foundations for a further detailed study of the reduced equations for group invariant solutions.

Using Interactive Learning Activities to Address Challenges of Peer Feedback Systems

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 80602 Computer-Human Interaction
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Effective feedback is a central tenet for project-based learning, but the limits of feedback resources become increasingly evident as class size increases. For example, time demands preclude instructors from providing frequent, detailed feedback for every student in large classes. Instructors often turn to peer feedback systems to provide feedback at scale. However, existing systems struggle to engage students in the peer feedback process, improve feedback quality over time, and support reflection on peer feedback.

In this thesis, I describe my work to use interactive learning techniques to address these challenges of peer feedback systems. Interactive learning techniques ask students to generate novel learning related materials and to collaboratively engage with them, which optimizes learning. My work identifies opportunities to use interactive learning techniques to improve the peer feedback process. I articulated a theoretical framework for in-class peer feedback activities, developed a novel interaction system for in-class peer feedback, and analyzed its impact on the feedback provided. I examine how interactive learning activities introduced both before and after peer feedback exchange impact peer feedback quality, perceived value of peer feedback, and both student and instructor attitudes towards peer feedback.
Personalized Navigation Instruments for Map User Interfaces

description: A map is a big multi-scale information space. The size of a computer display, however, is limited. Users of digital maps often need to repeatedly resize and reposition the map to seek information. These repeated and excess interactions mar the user experience, and create bottlenecks for efficient information processing.
      We introduce personalized navigation instruments, a class of navigation instruments that leverage personal important spatial entities (e.g., landmarks and routes) to tackle navigation challenges in map user interfaces. Specifically, we contribute the following three instruments, each of which embodies a novel research idea: 1) Personalized Compass (P-Compass) is a multi-needle compass that extends the concept of a conventional compass to help users establish a reference frame. P-Compass localizes an unknown reference point by visualizing its relationship with respect to landmarks. P-Compass leverages what a user knows to help them figure out what they do not know. 2) SpaceTokens are interactive map widgets that represent locations, and help users see and link locations rapidly. With SpaceTokens, users can use locations directly as controls to manipulate a map, or building blocks to link with other locations. SpaceTokens make locations first-class citizens of map interaction. 3) SpaceBar associates a simple linear scrollbar with a complex nonlinear route, thus facilitates efficient route comprehension and interaction. SpaceBar is akin to a scrollbar for a route.
      We prototyped these three instruments in a custom smartphone application, used the application regularly in daily life, and validated our design in two formal studies. While maps are the focus in this dissertation, our ideas need not be limited to maps. For example, we have prototyped P-Compass with Google Street View and a 3D virtual earth tour application. We conclude this dissertation with several directions for future work, such as AR/VR and personalized spatial information user interfaces involving sound, gestures, and speech.
Perspective Switching in Virtual Environments

Subjects: Cognitive psychology

description: When exploring new environments, people regularly alternate among many sources of spatial information including direct visual input, navigation aids such as maps and mobile devices, and verbal route descriptions. These spatial representations typically depict the environment from one of two perspectives: first-person, embedded route perspective or top-down, bird's eye survey perspective. Visual spatial cognition research has explored the nature of learning within each of these perspectives independently, but little work has been done to explore how on-line visual processing of combined perspectives affects cognition, meaning there is little understanding of the cognitive costs of using different navigation tools to learn large-scale environments. This dissertation addresses such questions through two experiments that guide participants through simple paths in large-scale environments, each consisting of a simple path through a small virtual town presented on a desktop computer display. By timing participants' movement through each environment and how they respond to either externally-controlled or participant-controlled perspective switches, the experiments measure the cognitive load of visually processing dynamic perspectives during navigation. These on-line processing measures are complemented by tests of visual recognition and recall memory, which reveal how switching perspectives affects the accuracy of the resulting spatial mental model. The results indicate that the cognitive load associated with changing perspectives is primarily dependent on the quantity of visual information the change introduces -- the transformation itself is not particularly disorienting after the first exposure to the environment. Furthermore, although forced perspective switches do not appear to significantly affect spatial memory accuracy relative to viewing the environment from a consistent perspective, navigator-controlled switching results in significantly more accurate spatial memory, indicating that navigation aids which allow for perspective control might better support spatial learning than fixed-perspective interfaces. The findings also support previous research showing that route perspective navigation generally yields more accurate spatial memory than survey perspective learning, particularly after extensive experience in the environment. Overall, the findings demonstrate many new aspects of how perspective affects spatial cognition, with implications for spatial learning and the design of navigation aids.

description: Genus Yingabruxia gen. nov.
urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 80E0FCE4-B2DE-4000-9CBF-5762AFA93C9E
Type species
Galleruca sordida LeConte, 1858, by present designation.
Diagnosis
Although the species included in this genus were formerly placed in Monoxia, the two genera are significantly different. The tarsal claws in Yingabruxia gen. nov. are always bifid, while those of most species (one exception) of Monoxia are bifid in the male and simple in the female. In Yingabruxia, the prothorax is usually more than twice as wide as long, and the lateral third of the pronotum is almost entirely occupied by a large depression. In contrast, the pronotum of Monoxia is usually not more than twice as wide as long, and the lateral third of the pronotum is partially occupied by a convex elevation. See the following key for additional diagnostic characters.
Etymology
The genus name ‘ Yingabruxia ’ is a conglomeration, suggesting similarities to Yingaresca, Brucita, and Monoxia. It should be treated as a female noun.
Remarks
Four species previously included in Monoxia [M. apicalis Blake, 1939; M. batisia Blatchley, 1917; M. brisleyi Blake, 1939; and M. sordida (LeConte, 1858)] are here transferred to this new genus, all comb. nov. The distribution of Yingabruxia gen. nov. is from Canada to Mexico.
The food plants of Yingabruxia gen. nov. are often Solanaceae, while those of Monoxia are often Asteraceae. Both genera are in some instances associated with Amaranthaceae. The general appearance of Yingabruxia is similar to that of Yingaresca and Brucita, while the appearance of Monoxia is more similar to Ophraella. See Fig. 36 for a habitus illustration of Yingabruxia. See Blake (1939) and Wilcox (1965) for keys to the species (treated as part of Monoxia).

Non-Bloch topological invariants in a non-Hermitian domain-wall system

description: We study non-Bloch bulk-boundary correspondence in a non-Hermitian Su-Schieffer-Heeger model in a domain-wall configuration where the left and right bulks have different parameters. Focusing on the case where chiral symmetry is still conserved, we show that non-Hermitian skin effects of bulk states persist in the system, while the definition of the non-Bloch winding number of either bulk depends on parameters on both sides of the boundary. Under these redefined non-Bloch topological invariants, we confirm non-Bloch bulk-boundary correspondence under the domain-wall configuration, which exemplifies the impact of boundary conditions in non-Hermitian topological systems.

Existence of Matter as a Proof of the Existence of Gravitational Torsion

description: One of the reasons why Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory --- which includes torsion due to the intrinsic spin of matter --- is not widely accepted as a viable theory of gravity, is the lack of any experimental evidence for the gravitational torsion. But at the heart of all matter are elementary fermions, which are mathematically described as spinors, and can be viewed as defects in spacetime associated with torsion. Therefore, in this essay we argue that the existence of matter itself provides a proof that gravitational torsion exists, albeit only inside of matter, and hence it does not propagate.

description: Airborne remote sensing has been used at Highland Valley Copper since 2001 as part of the reclamation program to provide annual high spatial resolution maps of vegetation cover. These maps cover the entire mine site and complement the vegetative assessments. This unique and growing dataset allows us to examine vegetation changes over time with spatial resolution of about 3m. We can now classify the entire mine site according to its vegetation history and whether or not it has reached and maintained biomass above 1500 kg/ha, which is the permit threshold for self-sustaining status. The resulting 'reclamation status maps' provide a detailed synopsis of the vegetation trends between 2001-2010. They are designed to be helpful to reclamation managers and provide a means to focus further remediation effort on specific locations most needing it, rather than having to make wholesale changes to entire sites. An analysis of the 10-year time series has revealed statistically significant correlations between the temporal patterns of remotely sensed vegetation cover and precipitation across much of the Highland Valley site. The strength and time scale of these correlations are related to the water retention capability of each location, which in turn is related to slope and material. These factors vary spatially across the mine site. Maps of these precipitation vs. vegetation correlations offer great potential value for reclamation management, because they identify the particular locations most likely to benefit from more rigorous soil remediation measures such as the addition of wood chips, biosolids, or trenching and mounding. In this presentation we demonstrate how a comparison of time series reclamation coverage maps with precipitation response maps can aid in the identification of areas where growth is limited by excessively dry conditions, which can then be targeted for specific interventions thus improving the likelihood of successful reclamation.

description: We demonstrate high-energy resonant dispersive-wave emission in the deep ultraviolet (218 to 375 nm) from optical solitons in short (15 to 34cm) hollow capillary fibres. This down-scaling in length compared to previous results in capillaries is achieved by using small core diameters (100 and 150 $μ$m) and pumping with 6.3 fs pulses at 800 nm. We generate pulses with energies of 4 to 6 $μ$J across the deep ultraviolet in a 100 $μ$m capillary and up to 11 $μ$J in a 150 $μ$m capillary. From comparisons to simulations we estimate the ultraviolet pulse to be 2 to 2.5 fs in duration. We also numerically study the influence of pump duration on the bandwidth of the dispersive wave.

description: Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the association of total leisure noise exposure and hearing threshold shifts over 5 years among adolescents enrolled in the Ohrkan cohort study.Method: The Ohrkan cohort of 2,148 students aged 13–19 years was recruited from 2009 to 2011 and followed up 5 years later. Complete baseline and follow-up reports on exposure and outcome were available for 989 participants. Leisure noise exposure was assessed by questionnaires, and clinical audiometric examinations were performed. Two outcomes were defined: occurrence of the Niskar notch pattern and audiometry showing maximum hearing threshold values at 3, 4, and 6 kHz (both ears). Longitudinal analysis using generalized estimating equations was performed.Results: High total leisure noise exposure, defined as an energy equivalent of a 40-hr week of > 85 dBA, was estimated for 32.7% of students at baseline and 63.8% at follow-up. A noise notch was observed in 1.1% of adolescents at baseline and 3.3% at follow-up. At baseline, the maximum measured threshold shift was 55 dB, which increased to 85 dB at the follow-up. Longitudinal analysis did not reveal an association between leisure noise exposure and hearing thresholds. Hearing threshold shifts or noise notches were associated with sex, school type, and time point of measurement.Conclusions: No relationship was found between leisure noise and hearing thresholds. Male adolescents and those attending secondary general schools, with graduation following completion of ninth or 10th grade, had a greater likelihood of developing hearing threshold shifts. Prevention programs should focus on these risk groups.

description: By defining a prepotential function for the stationary Schrödinger equation we derive an inversion formula for the space variable $x$ as a function of the wave-function $ψ$. The resulting equation is a Legendre transform that relates $x$, the prepotential ${\cal F}$, and the probability density. We invert the Schrödinger equation to a third-order differential equation for ${\cal F}$ and observe that the inversion procedure implies a $x$-$ψ$ duality. This phenomenon is related to a modular symmetry due to the superposition of the solutions of the Schrödinger equation. We propose that in quantum mechanics the space coordinate can be interpreted as a macroscopic variable of a statistical system with $\hbar$ playing the role of a scaling parameter. We show that the scaling property of the space coordinate with respect to $τ=\partial_ψ^2{\cal F}$ is determined by the ``beta-function''. We propose that the quantization of the inversion formula is a natural way to quantize geometry. The formalism is extended to higher dimensions and to the Klein-Gordon equation.

description: Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) and inherited optic neuropathies (IONs) are characterized by distinct genetic causes and molecular mechanisms that can lead to varying degrees of visual impairment. The discovery of pathogenic variants in numerous genes associated with these conditions has deepened our understanding of the molecular pathways that influence both vision and disease manifestation and may ultimately lead to novel therapeutic approaches. Over the past 18 years, our DNA diagnostics unit has been performing genetic testing on patients suspected of having IRD or ION, using state-of-the-art mutation detection technologies that are continuously updated. This report presents a retrospective analysis of genetic data from 6237 IRD and 780 ION patients. Out of these, 3054 IRD patients (49.0%) and 211 ION patients (27.1%) received a definitive molecular diagnosis, with disease-causing variants identified in 139 different genes. The genes most implicated in disease pathologies are ABCA4, accounting for 23.8% of all IRD/ION index cases, followed by BEST1 (7.8%), USH2A (6.2%), PRPH2 (5.7%), RPGR (5.6%), RS1 (5.5%), OPA1 (4.3%), and RHO (3.1%). Our study has compiled the most extensive dataset in combined IRD/ION diagnostics to date and offers valuable insights into the frequencies of mutant alleles and the efficiency of mutation detection in various inherited retinal conditions.

description: This is the second year of a comparative study examining soil and plant characteristics between mine sites that had not actively been reclaimed and early seral natural sites that had experienced some type of disturbance. Results from this study describe native plant species and communities potentially suitable for establishment on ecologically comparable mine sites, and long-term experiments will test their applications in mine reclamation. Thirty-four field plots were established in 2010, 14 of which were located on areas that had experienced some form of mining activity, and 20 on selected natural areas. A total of 239 plant species were recorded in 2010 field work, including 92 new species not seen in 2009. The total number of plant species recorded from 2009 and 2010 field work is 256, including 222 native species, 11 introduced species, 13 invasive species and 8 agronomic species. This study has identified 88 species with high potential for use in reclamation. Native plant species were observed on a wide range of elevations, slopes and aspects, and average biomass production ranged between 560 – 1360 kg/ha. Soil sampling revealed an average of 8.4 kg/ha N in non-reclaimed mine sites, and 13.8 kg/ha N on natural reference sites. No relationships were found between either pH, EC or coarse fragment content and total cover, species distribution or species richness. Recommendations include the establishment of long-term trials that will investigate native plant installation techniques, native plant successional plantings, fungal inoculation, fertilisation, and specific seed collection efforts and or seed increase projects to facilitate these trials.

description: The overall aim of this project was to provide therapists in neurological rehabilitation with knowledge and tools to support the justified and tailored use of motor learning in daily clinical practice. Both available knowledge from other fields (e.g., sports), as well as new insights from applied studies, were used to compile an overview of clinically feasible options to apply motor learning in daily practice within neurological rehabilitation.
To achieve this aim, the thesis was divided into two parts. The aim of the first part was to develop a theoretical basis to apply motor learning in clinical practice, using the implicit‐explicit distinction as a conceptual basis. Afterwards, in the second part, strategies identified in the first part were tested for feasibility and potential effects in people with stroke.

description: We introduce a model of information packet transport on networks in which the packets are posted by a given rate and move in parallel according to a local search algorithm. By performing a number of simulations we investigate the major kinetic properties of the transport as a function of the network geometry, the packet input rate and the buffer size. We find long-range correlations in the power spectra of arriving packet density and the network's activity bursts. The packet transit time distribution shows a power-law dependence with average transit time increasing with network size. This implies dynamic queueing on the network, in which many interacting queues are mutually driven by temporally correlated packet streams.

description: Purpose: To evaluate a human cadaveric model in improving knowledge and comfort of ophthalmology residents performing a lateral canthotomy/cantholysis. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in ophthalmology residents, who participated in a workshop including an interactive lecture followed by hands-on training on a human cadaver. The lecture consisted of the indications and techniques of lateral canthotomy/cantholysis, along with video-demonstration of proper technique. Residents practiced the procedure on cadavers under faculty supervision. Knowledge and comfort level of conducting the procedure was assessed pre- and post-workshop. Results: Post-workshop, the residents showed a significant improvement in general knowledge regarding the technique of the procedure. Pre-workshop, the average knowledge score was 9 points out of 18 and this improved post-workshop to 12 points out of 18 (p < 0.0001). Residents showed a significant improvement in comfort levels performing the procedure. Using a Likert scale, the average comfort level of performing the procedure rose from 2.5 (Fair) prior to the workshop to 4 (Very Good) post-workshop (p = <0.01). All participants reported an average score of 4.91 (1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Strongly Agree) that the human model workshop was clinically applicable to their training and would impact the quality and safety of patient care. Conclusion: The study demonstrated an increase in knowledge and comfort in performing lateral canthotomy and cantholysis using a cadaver model. With the time-sensitive nature of orbital compartment syndrome, it is imperative that physicians are comfortable in performing this procedure to prevent permanent vision loss.

Relative entropy for coherent states from Araki formula

description: We make a rigorous computation of the relative entropy between the vacuum state and a coherent state for a free scalar in the framework of AQFT. We study the case of the Rindler Wedge. Previous calculations including path integral methods and computations from the lattice, give a result for such relative entropy which involves integrals of expectation values of the energy-momentum stress tensor along the considered region. However, the stress tensor is in general non unique. That means that if we start with some stress tensor, then we can "improve" it adding a conserved term without modifying the Poincaré charges. On the other hand, the presence of such improving term affects the naive expectation for the relative entropy by a non vanishing boundary contribution along the entangling surface. In other words, this means that there is an ambiguity in the usual formula for the relative entropy coming from the non uniqueness of the stress tensor. The main motivation of this work is to solve this puzzle. We first show that all choices of stress tensor except the canonical one are not allowed by positivity and monotonicity of the relative entropy. Then we fully compute the relative entropy between the vacuum and a coherent state in the framework of AQFT using the Araki formula and the techniques of Modular theory. After all, both results coincides and give the usual expression for the relative entropy calculated with the canonical stress tensor.

description: In this paper, we present a quantitative central limit theorem for the d-dimensional stochastic heat equation driven by a Gaussian multiplicative noise, which is white in time and has a spatial covariance given by the Riesz kernel. We show that the spatial average of the solution over an Euclidean ball is close to a Gaussian distribution, when the radius of the ball tends to infinity. Our central limit theorem is described in the total variation distance, using Malliavin calculus and Stein's method. We also provide a functional central limit theorem.

description: The dissertation investigates a repertoire of ideas and objects produced by the Underground Scene (Escena Subterránea) that problematize notions of property within the Peruvian culture and society of the time. This is a young subcultural and countercultural social formation that bonded around rock music and created urban interventions, fiction and non-fiction literature, visual arts and music. My inquiry focuses on how this scene perceived as marginal contested well-established aesthetic practices and believes. I trace the way in which their poems, lyrics, interviews, cassette tapes, covers and prints deal with the expectations of what is appropriate and proper to, often migrant, young mestizo, working-class people within the cultural field.
      The conditions placed by the Peruvian Internal Conflict (1980-2000) and the migration of rural Peruvians to Lima created a social space where matters of property of land and circulation of people and goods were pivotal to the social experience. Literary and art criticism, along with the historical accounts of music, tend to explain the communal configuration of the scene and its aesthetics in relation to the violence of the armed struggle. These, I argue, also take from the coexistence with the migrants. The Underground Scene produced alongside with a massive marginality of indigenous rural migrants, appropriating their cultural and aesthetic procedures as well as their organizational forms. It worked within the war reflecting upon its various immediate consequences through a generational perspective using tactics borrowed from international subcultures such as the DIY, and others like piracy vastly and successfully used by the migrants. While this influence has been read as purely cultural, I am proposing a material
      approach. I claim that these conditions of production shaped up in a definitive way what is widely taken as a subculture and counterculture arranged as a mere imitation of the Anglo- Saxon, white, male punk movement. By using the tropes of voice, yell and noise rather than discourse or logos, these youth gave their criticism and affectivity a political dimension that pointed out the failure of party politics and democracy within the national structure.

description: We show that models of strongly interacting (SIMP) dark matter built to reproduce the DAMA signal actually cannot account for its time dependence. We discuss the constraints on this type of models coming from direct detection experiments and study the propagation of thermalised dark matter particles in the ground for the allowed values of the parameters. We consider a simple 1D diffusion and a more detailed 3D diffusion. In both cases the predicted signal has either the wrong phase of the annual modulation or a much larger amplitude of the diurnal modulation.
