Language use in the Japanese as a foreign language classroom
Creators: name: Nakamura, Emy Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study examined target language (TL) and first language (LI) use in an intermediate level Japanese-as-a-foreign-language (JFL) context at a Western Canadian University (WCU). The ratio of TL and LI use by students and their instructors (including instructors' perceived use) and the purposes for which they used the TL and code-switching were investigated to understand how mixed-language use can provide scaffolding for Japanese learners, thus enhancing their second language (L2) learning experiences. The participants in this study included two focal instructors, six non-focal instructors and 45 students. Six of the instructors were native Japanese speakers, while the other two were Chinese and Tagalog speakers. Forty of the students had Chinese backgrounds, two were Korean, 1 had a Japanese background, and three came from Anglophone, non-Asian ethnic backgrounds. The study was conducted over a three-month period in an intermediate-level JFL class focusing on conversation and composition. The class met four times a week (50 minutes each class) for thirteen weeks. A qualitative approach was employed, and data were collected through: (a) regular classroom observations and researcher field notes; (b) semi-structured interviews; (c) audio-recorded classroom lectures; and (d) audio-recorded pair work sessions. Data analysis followed Stake's (1981) suggestion of coding whole episodes, interviews, or documents and then classifying them according to salient themes that recur. The findings revealed that language use in such multilingual language classrooms is a complex and dynamic process that changes across interlocutors, task-type and task complexity. Both instructors and students used the TL and LI (and additional languages, especially Mandarin or Cantonese) for multiple purposes during teacher-led and collaborative pairwork tasks. The prevalence of code-switching suggests that drawing on a combination of languages provided scaffolding for students, which increased opportunities for receiving and processing TL input. In addition, issues concerning Chinese, ESL and heritage language learners in the JFL classroom and their linguistic needs and preferences are discussed, along with some pedagogical implications.

description: A method to quantitatively assess the consistency of power-counting proposals in Effective Field Theories (EFT) which are non-perturbative at leading order is presented. The Renormalisation Group evolution of an observable predicts the functional form of its residual cutoff dependence on the breakdown scale of an EFT, on the low-momentum scales, and on the order of the calculation. Passing this test is a necessary but not sufficient consistency criterion for a suggested power counting whose exact nature is disputed. In Chiral Effective Field Theory (ChiEFT) with more than one nucleon, a lack of universally accepted analytic solutions obfuscates the convergence pattern in results. This led to proposals which predict different sets of Low Energy Coefficients (LECs) at the same chiral order, and at times even predict a different ordering long-range contributions. The method may independently check whether an observable is renormalised at a given order, and proves estimates of both the breakdown scale and the momentum-dependent order-by-order convergence pattern. Conversely, it helps identify those LECs (and long-range pieces) which ensure renormalised observables at a given order. I also discuss assumptions and the relation to Wilson's Renormalisation Group; useful observable and cutoff choices; the momentum window with likely best signals; its dependence on the values and forms of cutoffs as well as on the EFT parameters; the impact of fitting LECs to data; and caveats as well as limitations. Since the test is designed to minimise the use of data, it quantitatively falsifies if the EFT has been renormalised consistently. This complements other tests which quantify how an EFT compares to experiment. Its application in particular to the 3P0 and P2-3F2 partial waves of NN scattering in ChiEFT may elucidate persistent power-counting issues.

description: Alors que la libéralisation du commerce des produits industriels est déjà largement entamée l’ouverture des marchés reste encore limitée dans le secteur agricole. Les enjeux de la libéralisation des échanges agricoles sont variables d’une rive à l’autre de la Méditerranée. Pour les pays du sud et de l’est de la Méditerranée, les deux principaux enjeux sont la protection des marchés de produits de base et l’amélioration de l’accès au marché européen des produits d’exportation que sont les fruits et légumes. Les producteurs européens, de leur côté, redoutent une exacerbation de la concurrence méditerranéenne dans ce même secteur sensible aux crises et relativement peu soutenu par la Politique agricole commune. La question de l’accès au marché de l’Union européenne (UE) pour les fruits et légumes méditerranéens est d’autant plus sensible que l’UE constitue le principal débouché des exportations horticoles de ces pays. L’analyse des protections tarifaires appliquées par l’UE aux importations de fruits et légumes révèle que les pays méditerranéens bénéficient déjà de préférences importantes sur le marché européen par rapport aux autres pays exportateurs. L’estimation d’un modèle économétrique montre par ailleurs que la protection douanière n’est pas le seul déterminant des échanges. La baisse des tarifs serait loin d’éliminer la totalité des freins aux échanges.

description: Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures have attracted great interest because of their rich material combinations.The discovery of two-dimensional magnets has provided a new platform for magnetic vdW heterointerfaces; however, research on magnetic vdW heterointerfaces has been limited to those with ferromagnetic surfaces. Here we report a magnetic vdW heterointerface using layered intralayer-antiferromagnetic MPSe3 (M=Mn, Fe) and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). We found an anomalous upshift of the excitonic peak in monolayer TMDs below the antiferromagnetic transition temperature in the MPSe3, capturing a signature of the interlayer exciton-magnon coupling. This is a concept extended from single materials to heterointerfaces. Moreover, this coupling strongly depends on the in-plane magnetic structure and stacking direction, showing its sensitivity to their magnetic interfaces. Our finding offers an opportunity to investigate interactions between elementary excitations in different materials across interfaces and to search for new functions of magnetic vdW heterointerfaces.

Providing Fully Developed Flow for Waste Exhaust Gas at the Inlet Region of a Heat Pipe Air Recuperator
Creators: name: ELMAS, Emin Taner
Publisher: name: gjrpublication
Year: 2024

description: This study explains the methodology for providing fully developed flow for waste exhaust gas at the inlet region of a heat pipe air recuperator

A fully developed flow must be provided for the waste exhaust gas at the inlet of the heat pipe air recuperator. Considering the hydrodynamic and thermal inlet lengths, the condition in which the inlet effects are limited and fully developed flow occurs can be determined as follows.

In order to obtain fully developed flow at the entrance of the waste exhaust gas to the heat pipe air recuperator, the gas will need to flow a certain distance within the inlet channel before entering the recuperator. In order to determine the distance required for the formation of the fully developed flow in question and thus to calculate the gas inlet side channel length, it must first be determined whether the in-channel flow is laminar or turbulent. In this case, the first determining parameter to be calculated will be the Reynolds number.

description: We consider arrays of Luttinger liquids, where each node is described by a unitary scattering matrix. In the limit of small electron-electron interaction, we study the evolution of these scattering matrices as the high-energy single particle states are gradually integrated out. Interestingly, we obtain the same renormalization group equations as those derived by Lal, Rao, and Sen, for a system composed of a single node coupled to several semi-infinite 1D wires. The main difference between the single node geometry and a regular lattice is that in the latter case, the single particle spectrum is organized into periodic energy bands, so that the renormalization procedure has to stop when the last totally occupied band has been eliminated. We therefore predict a strongly renormalized Luttinger liquid behavior for generic filling factors, which should exhibit power-law suppression of the conductivity at low temperatures E_{F}/(k_{F}a) << k_{B}T << E_{F}, where a is the lattice spacing and k_{F}a >> 1. Some fully insulating ground-states are expected only for a discrete set of integer filling factors for the electronic system. A detailed discussion of the scattering matrix flow and its implication for the low energy band structure is given on the example of a square lattice.

description: Comment les changements structurels intervenus depuis le 19° siècle se sont-ils traduits sur les patrimoines individuels des Français? La mobilisation d'une source historique permettant de suivre ces évolutions de patrimoine montre que les inégalités de patrimoine sont tirées en France par les évolutions de la distribution interne au monde rural, même si l'urbanisation qui a lieu à cette époque a des effets visibles. En zones rurales, comme en moyenne française, la diminution de la part de la population possédant un patrimoine touche principalement les petits possédants, accroissant éainsi les écarts de patrimoine.

Formal analogies between static and dynamical variational approaches, different types of approximation strategies and the relations to density-functional and dynamical mean-field theory are emphasized. The discussion elucidates the strengths of the SFA in the construction of new non-perturbative approximations but also the limitations of the approach and thereby opens up future perspectives.

description: La plupart des pays taxent leurs importations. Au niveau mondial, ces taxes (ou droits de douane ou encore tarifs) sont réglementées par des accords de commerce régis par l’Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC). Ces tarifs sont fixés selon la clause de la nation la plus favorisée (NPF) qui stipule que tout avantage commercial accordé par un pays à un autre doit être automatiquement étendu à tous. Toutefois, il existe de nombreuses exceptions à cette clause. Beaucoup de pays ou de régions du monde signent des accords commerciaux préférentiels où ils s’engagent de manière unilatérale ou bilatérale à réduire leurs tarifs par rapport au niveau NPF. C’est le cas de l’Union européenne (UE) qui offre de manière unilatérale des préférences commerciales aux pays en développement dans le cadre du système généralisé des préférences (SGP) pour notamment promouvoir le commerce de ces pays. Depuis leur mise en place, il y a débat sur l’efficacité de ces préférences du fait d’obstacles administratifs ou de règles d’attribution restrictives qui en limitent la portée. L’UE déclare cependant que le nouveau SGP, entré en vigueur le 1er janvier 2006, est à la fois plus simple et plus généreux que les précédents. Dans cette étude qui examine si ces revendications sont justifiées et si elles se vérifient dans les faits, on se concentre sur les échanges agroalimentaires dans la mesure où la plupart des changements intervenus concernent des droits de douane grevant ce type de produits. Si les révisions opérées par l’Union Européenne dans son régime de préférence ont permis d’améliorer l’accès de ses marchés agroalimentaires à certains pays en développement, leur impact reste cependant limité.

description: Si l'objectif premier des politiques alimentaires fut, pendant longtemps, de garantir la sécurité alimentaire des populations, les objectifs sont maintenant plus qualitatifs, au moins dans les pays développés. L’importance du "mieux" manger s’est progressivement accrue dans un contexte où l'espérance de vie augmente et où la pénurie a fait place à l'abondance de produits à bas prix. L'alimentation devient même un facteur de risque potentiel, une mauvaise alimentation au sens des normes nutritionnelles favorisant la survenue de maladies spécifiques comme l'obésité, les diabètes, cancers et maladies cardio-vasculaires. Aux Etats-Unis, l'obésité arrive ainsi en second parmi les causes principales de décès (300 000 morts par an) après le tabac (environ 400 000 morts par an). Et, l’Organisation mondiale de la santé considère qu’une alimentation à forte densité énergétique et pauvre en fruits et légumes est un facteur de risque d’obésité, risque qui peut être accru du fait de la baisse relative des prix des produits alimentaires. On cherche alors à savoir si la structure actuelle des prix alimentaires va à l'encontre des recommandations nutritionnelles. Structure des prix alimentaires et caractéristiques socio-économiques des ménages ont bien un rôle premier dans la répartition des consommations alimentaires, la structure des prix allant à l’encontre de la qualité nutritionnelle de la ration. Parallèlement, les stratégies des acteurs privés du secteur des Fruits et légumes n’ont pas conduit à favoriser la consommation globale de ces produits, alors que la réforme de la politique sucrière pourrait stimuler la demande industrielle de sucres ajoutés. Face à ces constats qui s’opposent aux recommandations nutritionnelles et au Programme national nutrition santé (PNNS), les pouvoirs publics peuvent envisager d’agir sur les prix pour stimuler la consommation de fruits et légumes par des subventions et/ou diminuer la consommation de produits gras animaux par des taxes. Les effets simulés de telles politiques n’apparaissent pas homogènes au sein de la population, ce qui pourrait, dans certains cas, accroître les disparités entre catégories de population.

description: The growth time scales of planetary embryos and their formation process are imperative for our understanding on how planetary systems form and develop. They determine the subsequent growth mechanisms during the life stages of a circumstellar disk. We quantify the timescales and spatial distribution of planetary embryos via collisional growth and fragmentation of dynamically forming 100km sized planetesimals. In our study, the formation timescales of viscous disk evolution and planetesimal formation are linked to the formation of planetary embryos in the terrestrial planet zone. We connect a one dimensional model for viscous gas evolution, dust and pebble dynamics and pebble flux regulated planetesimal formation to the N-body code LIPAD. Our framework enables us to study the formation, growth, fragmentation and evolution of planetesimals with an initial size of 100km in diameter for the first million years of a viscous disk. Our study shows the effect of the planetesimal surface density evolution on the preferential location and timescales of planetary embryo formation. A one dimensional analytically derived model for embryo formation based on the local planetesimal surface density evolution is presented. This model manages to reproduce the spatial distribution, formation rate and total number of planetary embryos at a fraction of the computational cost of the N-body simulations. The formation of planetary embryos in the terrestrial planet zone occurs simultaneously to the formation of planetesimals. The local planetesimal surface density evolution and the orbital spacing of planetary embryos in the oligarchic regime serve well as constraints to model planetary embryo formation analytically. Our embryo formation model will be a valuable asset in future studies regarding planet formation.

description: We have investigated the possibility of $ν_τ$ detection using Cosmic Ray Tau Neutrino Telescope (CRTNT) based on air shower fluorescence/Cerenkov light detector techniques. This approach requires an interaction of a $ν_τ$ with material such as a mountain or the earth's crust. $τ$ lepton produced in the charged current interaction must escape from the earth and then decay and initiate a shower in the air. The probability for the conversion from $ν_τ$ to air shower has been calculated for an energy range from 1 PeV to 10 EeV. An air shower simulation program has been developed using the simulation package Corsika. The trigger efficiency has been estimated for a CRTNT detector similar to the HiRes/Dice detector in the shadow of Mt. Wheeler in Nevada, USA. A rate of about 8 triggered events per year is expected for the AGN neutrino source model with an optimized configuration and duty cycle of the detector.

AbstractSacituzumab govitecan (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy; Trodelvy™) is a Trop-2-directed antibody conjugated to a topoisomerase I inhibitor (SN-38) that is being developed by Immunomedics for the treatment of solid tumours, including breast cancer. In April 2020, sacituzumab govitecan received accelerated approval in the USA for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who have received at least two prior therapies for metastatic disease. Sacituzumab govitecan is undergoing phase III development for breast cancer in the USA and EU, and phase II development for urothelial cancer. It is also being explored for brain metastases, glioblastoma, endometrial cancer and prostate cancer. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of sacituzumab govitecan leading to this first approval for mTNBC.

description: Face aux problèmes d’obésité et de malnutrition, aux crises sanitaires, à la présence de résidus chimiques dans l’alimentation, aux questions d’autorisation sur le marché d’organismes génétiquement modifiés ou de viande issue d’animaux clonés, etc., la puissance publique doit souvent intervenir pour garantir la transparence de l’information auprès des consommateurs et un niveau satisfaisant de qualité. Les effets de telles interventions ne sont cependant pas simples et nécessitent des études minutieuses. Ainsi, l’introduction d’un standard de qualité minimal peut, lorsque l’information du consommateur est imparfaite, se traduire par une réduction de la concurrence. A l’inverse, une politique collective d’information comme la publicité générique permet, en favorisant le partage de son coût entre producteurs, de contrecarrer la réduction de concurrence inhérente aux dépenses de publicité, de qualité ou de sécurité. On montre en outre, à partir d’une analyse du comportement des consommateurs face aux risques (méthyle-mercure) et aux bénéfices (oméga-3) liés à la consommation de poissons, qu’une politique de taxation/subvention est plus efficace que les politiques d’information le plus souvent mises en oeuvre dans ce cas. Un choix judicieux des niveaux de taxes appliquées aux espèces accumulant le produit toxique et de subventions aux espèces plus saines peut même se traduire par une régulation du marché à budget public équilibré.

The confluence of these areas describes whole-hand touch interfaces that are capable of capturing rich hand actions performed with respect to a surface. While prevailing interaction paradigms suggest that constraining input to two or three dimensions yields superior usability and efficiency, other domains, such as art and music, lend themselves for input with many more degrees of freedom. This research proposes an organization of whole-hand surface interaction that comprises a classification of existing touch interfaces, a taxonomy of flat surface-constrained hand actions, and a design space for whole-hand flat surface touch interaction. An objective of this research is to better understand which properties of touch interfaces are conducive to capturing certain actions. Finally, we present some case studies that illustrate examples of whole-hand touch applications and technologies in the context of this research.

description: The US Food and Drug Administration confirmed in February 2007 that a major foodborne illness outbreak was caused by two peanut butter brands, Peter Pan and Great Value, manufactured by ConAgra Foods Inc. at its Sylvester, Georgia, processing plant. As a result, on February 14, 2007, ConAgra voluntarily issued a nationwide recall of its Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter products produced since May 2006 and sold through grocery and retail stores throughout the United States. Using the ACNielsen Homescan Panel for calendar years 2006, 2007 and 2008, this study investigates the impacts of the recall on the demand for peanut butter by estimating a second degree polynomial distributed lag with a lag length of three and endpoint restrictions imposed. The estimation results showed that the recall did have a statistically significant positive impact on the demand for peanut butter as a category. Also, the recall appeared to have had a statistically significant demand-enhancing effect on the Jif peanut butter brand and a demand-diminishing effect on the Skippy peanut butter brand. In all the cases, the maximum impact of the recall took place one to two weeks after the release of the recall.

description: Two-photon time-frequency entanglement is a valuable resource in quantum information. Resolving the wavepacket of ultrashort pulsed single-photons, however, is a challenge. Here, we demonstrate remote spectral shaping of single photon states and probe the coherence properties of two-photon quantum correlations in the time-frequency domain, using engineered parametric down-conversion (PDC) and a quantum pulse gate (QPG) in nonlinear waveguides. Through tailoring the joint spectral amplitude function of our PDC source we control the temporal mode structure between the generated photon pairs and show remote state-projections over a range of time-frequency mode superpositions.

description: Purpose: The goal of the current study is to analyze the substance use trends in Generation Z youth (in both middle and high school environments) and to determine if any correlation exists between substance use behaviors and demographic variables. Methods: Analysis is based on substance use data collected through the Pennsylvania Youth Survey (PAYS) from 2009 to 2017 and the 2016 US census data. Results: Our results suggest that substance use in Gen Z adolescents is mainly linked to alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, vaping, and narcotic prescription drugs. Alcohol is the most prevalent high-risk substance used by 12th grade students with 69.8% of students having consumed alcohol over their lifetime. Vaping is the next highly used substance with 28.9% of students in 12th grade having vaped 30 day prior to the survey. There is a significant correlation among adolescents between smoking cigarettes and using smokeless tobacco. A student using either alcohol, cigarettes or smokeless tobacco is highly likely to use the other two substances as well. Adolescents from counties with a high Caucasian population were at high risk for cigarette and smokeless tobacco use, while the opposite held true for counties with a high number of foreign-born persons or higher Asian or Hispanic populations. Higher median household incomes and higher adult education levels in a county were both protective factors against smokeless tobacco use. Conclusions: Results of the study suggest that students start experimenting with high-risk substance use in early grades and to combat the prevalence, we suggest the importance of educating adolescents of the dangers of drug use in early grades.

description: This paper analyzes the effect of access to different types of food outlets on households’ food insecurity levels. Two years (2004 and 2005) of Current Population Survey – Food Security Supplement data are matched with MSA-level data on store counts of Wal-Mart Supercenters, small food stores (small grocery stores and convenience stores), medium and large grocery stores, and convenience stores associated with gas stations. Endogeneity of food stores’ location is accounted for to eliminate spurious correlation between households’ food security status and food access. Preliminary results indicate that, before accounting for endogeneity bias, the presence of Wal-Mart supercenters appears to be associated to higher levels of households’ food insecurity, while the presence of other food stores is associated with lower levels. After eliminating spurious correlation, only the presence of small food stores appears helping to reduce food insecurity (across measures of food insecurity and data samples) while the presence of gas convenience stores is associated with higher likelihoods of experiencing food insecurity. The presence of Wal-Mart supercenters and that of medium and large grocery stores have little to no impact on the likelihood of a household being food insecure (the first showing only weak evidence of a mitigating effect, the second, instead, showing weak evidence of a magnifying effect).

description: We investigate the prospects of detecting a Higgs pseudoscalar ($A^0$) in association with a $Z$ gauge boson produced from bottom quark fusion ($b\bar{b} \to ZA^0$) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A general two Higgs doublet model and the minimal supersymmetric standard model are adopted to study the discovery potential of $pp \to ZA^0 \to \ell \bar{\ell} b\bar{b} +X (\ell = e, μ)$, via $b\bar{b} \to ZA^0$ with physics backgrounds and realistic cuts. Promising results are found for $m_A \alt 400$ GeV in a general two Higgs doublet model when the heavier Higgs scalar ($H^0$) can decay into a $Z$ boson and a Higgs pseudoscalar ($H^0 \to ZA^0$). We compare the production rates from bottom quark fusion ($b\bar{b} \to ZA^0$) and gluon fusion ($gg \to ZA^0$) and find that they are complementary processes to produce $ZA^0$ in hadron collisions. While gluon fusion is the major source for producing a Higgs pseudoscalar associated with a $Z$ boson at the LHC for $\tanβ\alt 10$, bottom quark fusion can make dominant contributions for $\tanβ\agt 10$.

description: This study attempts to evaluate the economic benefits of the country of origin labeling (COOL) in Taiwan. A Vickrey second-price sealed-bid auction was conducted to estimate the consumer’s willingness to pay for Taiwan products vs. those from China and Vietnam. Our experiment was designed to investigate the impacts of product tasting on bidding behavior. The regression results show that tasting raised bids for Taiwan and China teas, but lowered bids for Vietnam tea. The econometric results show very high premiums for Taiwan products. Taiwanese consumers and food producers stand to benefit greatly with COOL.

description: Tackling the problem of ecosystem services degradation is an important policy challenge. Different types of economic instruments have been employed by conservation agencies to meet this challenge. Notable among them are Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes that pay private landowners to change land uses to pro-environmental ones on their properties. This paper focuses on a PES scheme – an auction for the cost-efficient disbursal of government funds for selection of spatially contiguous land management projects. The auction is structured as an iterative descending price auction where every bid is evaluated on the basis of a scoring metric – a benefit cost ratio. The ecological effectiveness and economic efficiency of the auction is tested with data generated from lab experiments. These experiments use the information available to the subjects about the spatial goal as the treatment variable. Analysis indicates that the information reduces the cost-efficiency of the auction. Experience with bidding also has a negative impact on auction efficiency. The study also provides an analysis of the behavior of winners and losers at the final auction outcome. Winners and losers are found to have significantly different behavior with winners bidding much higher than their costs than losers.
