description: We use the overdensity field reconstructed in the volume of the COSMOS area to study the nonlinear biasing of the zCOSMOS galaxies. The galaxy overdensity field is reconstructed using the current sample of ~8500 accurate zCOSMOS redshifts at I(AB)<22.5 out to z~1 on scales R from 8 to 12 Mpc/h. By comparing the probability distribution function (PDF) of galaxy density contrast delta_g to the lognormal approximation of the PDF of the mass density contrast delta, we obtain the mean biasing function b(delta,z,R) between the galaxy and matter overdensity field and its second moments b(hat) and b(tilde) up to z~1. Over the redshift interval 0.4 = b(delta,z,R) delta is of the following characteristic shape. The function vanishes in the most underdense regions and then sharply rises in a nonlinear way towards the mean densities. is almost a linear tracer of the matter in the overdense regions, up to the most overdense regions in which it is nonlinear again and the local effective slope of vs. delta is smaller than unity. The function is evolving only slightly over the redshift interval 0.4

description: Duration of response (DOR) and time to response (TTR) are typically evaluated as secondary endpoints in early-stage clinical studies in oncology when efficacy is assessed by the best overall response (BOR) and presented as the overall response rate (ORR). Despite common use of DOR and TTR in particular in single-arm studies, the definition of these endpoints and the questions they are intended to answer remain unclear. Motivated by the estimand framework, we present relevant scientific questions of interest for DOR and TTR and propose corresponding estimand definitions. We elaborate on how to deal with relevant intercurrent events which should follow the same considerations as implemented for the primary response estimand. A case study in mantle cell lymphoma illustrates the implementation of relevant estimands of DOR and TTR. We close the paper with practical recommendations to implement DOR and TTR in clinical study protocols.

Study of the relation between teacher and student understanding of limit concepts taught in grade eight
Creators: name: Broadley, George William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate if a relationship exists between the understandings of students and those of their teachers for a specific concept in mathematics. A review of literature revealed that no study-had attempted to examine the relation between student and teacher understanding of a specific concept in mathematics although several had investigated the relation between teacher and student understanding of general mathematical concepts, usually in arithmetic. The single concept chosen for the present study was intuitive limit concepts as prescribed for Mathematics 8 students in British Columbia schools. The following null hypothesis was established and tested: For Mathematics 8 classes of better students there is no significant correlation between teacher understanding of intuitive limit concepts and student understanding of intuitive limit concepts. Measures of understanding were obtained by the use of two testing instruments constructed by the investigator, one for students and one for teachers. The preliminary student test constructed was checked for content validity and given a trial use. The reliability of the test was calculated and an item analysis made to determine which items to use in the final form of the test. The teacher test constructed used hypothetical answers to student test items. Teacher test items were taxonomized according to Bloom. Fourteen classes of Mathematics 8 students of better ability and their teachers were tested using the final form of each test. Class means for student tests were adjusted by analysis of covariance to allow for Initial differences in intelligence and mathematics achievement. Calculation of the coefficient of correlation between these adjusted means and teacher scores gave a result of 0.09. This correlation was not significant. Thus the null hypothesis tested was accepted.

description: For the last several months the main focus of development in the ROOT I/O package has been code consolidation and performance improvements. Access to remote files is affected both by bandwidth and latency. We introduced a pre-fetch mechanism to minimize the number of transactions between client and server and hence reducing the effect of latency. We will review the implementation and how well it works in different conditions (gain of an order of magnitude for remote file access). We will also review new utilities, including a faster implementation of TTree cloning (gain of an order of magnitude), a generic mechanism for object references, and a new entry list mechanism tuned both for small and large number of selections. In addition to reducing the coupling with the core module and becoming its owns library (libRIO) (as part of the general restructuration of the ROOT libraries), the I/O package has been enhanced in the area of XML and SQL support, thread safety, schema evolution, TTreeFormula, and many other areas. We will also discuss various ways, ROOT will be able to benefit from multi-core architecture to improve I/O performances.
Solitons in combined linear and nonlinear lattice potentials

description: We study ordinary solitons and gap solitons (GSs) in the effectively one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, with a combination of linear and nonlinear lattice potentials. The main points of the analysis are effects of the (in)commensurability between the lattices, the development of analytical methods, viz., the variational approximation (VA) for narrow ordinary solitons, and various forms of the averaging method for broad solitons of both types, and also the study of mobility of the solitons. Under the direct commensurability (equal periods of the lattices, the family of ordinary solitons is similar to its counterpart in the free space. The situation is different in the case of the subharmonic commensurability, with L_{lin}=(1/2)L_{nonlin}, or incommensurability. In those cases, there is an existence threshold for the solitons, and the scaling relation between their amplitude and width is different from that in the free space. GS families demonstrate a bistability, unless the direct commensurability takes place. Specific scaling relations are found for them too. Ordinary solitons can be readily set in motion by kicking. GSs are mobile too, featuring inelastic collisions. The analytical approximations are shown to be quite accurate, predicting correct scaling relations for the soliton families in different cases. The stability of the ordinary solitons is fully determined by the VK (Vakhitov-Kolokolov) criterion, while the stability of GS families follows an inverted ("anti-VK") criterion, which is explained by means of the averaging approximation.

description: In this article, we introduce, a novel open-source framework designed for efficient parallel computation of projections in tomography leveraging either multiple CPU cores or GPUs. This framework efficiently implements forward and back projection functions for both sinogram and listmode data, utilizing Joseph's method, which is further extended to encompass time-of-flight (TOF) PET projections. Our evaluation involves a series of tests focusing on PET image reconstruction using data sourced from a state-of-the-art clinical PET/CT system. We thoroughly benchmark the performance of the projectors in non-TOF and TOF, sinogram, and listmode employing multi CPU-cores, hybrid CPU/GPU, and exclusive GPU mode. Moreover, we also investigate the timing of non-TOF sinogram projections calculated in STIR (Software for Tomographic Image Reconstruction) which recently integrated parallelproj as one of its projection backends. Our results indicate that the exclusive GPU mode provides acceleration factors between 25 and 68 relative to the multi-CPU-core mode. Furthermore, we demonstrate that OSEM listmode reconstruction of state-of-the-art real-world PET data sets is achievable within a few seconds using a single consumer GPU.

description: Strong confinement of charges in few electron systems such as in atoms, molecules and quantum dots leads to a spectrum of discrete energy levels that are often shared by several degenerate quantum states. Since the electronic structure is key to understanding their chemical properties, methods that probe these energy levels in situ are important. We show how electrostatic force detection using atomic force microscopy reveals the electronic structure of individual and coupled self-assembled quantum dots. An electron addition spectrum in the Coulomb blockade regime, resulting from a change in cantilever resonance frequency and dissipation during tunneling events, shows one by one electron charging of a dot. The spectra show clear level degeneracies in isolated quantum dots, supported by the first observation of predicted temperature-dependent shifts of Coulomb blockade peaks. Further, by scanning the surface we observe that several quantum dots may reside on what topologically appears to be just one. These images of grouped weakly and strongly coupled dots allow us to estimate their relative coupling strengths.

description: We present a simple model where a scalar field is responsible for cosmic inflation and generates the seed for structure formation, while its thermal relic abundance explains dark matter in the universe. The inflaton self-coupling also explains the observed neutrino masses. All the virtues can be attained in a minimal extension of the Standard Model gauge group around the TeV scale. We can also unveil these properties in the forthcoming ground based experiments.

Physiological effects of Astragalus miser var. serotinus, (timber milkvetch) on sheep, rats, and mice.
Creators: name: Mosher, Gary Alfred
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Feeding trials were conducted during 1968 and 1969 to study the physiological effects of Astragalus miser var. serotinus, timber milkvetch, (TMV) in sfieep. In Trial I, TMV was collected from Kamloops and Clinton, pelleted and fed to U groups of Dorset Horn wethers at levels of 0, 35, 70 and 100%. The symptoms exhibited by the sheep fed 100% TMV included backward flexion of the fetlock - joints, hind limb paralysis and inco—ordination of movements. The presence of longitudinal ulcers in the intestines was a characteristic lesion observed in the sheep fed 100% TMV. Fatty infiltration and hemorrhages in the liver and kidney were also observed. After the vetch was cut, dried and pelleted, the miserotoxin content dropped from 2.3 - 3.4% to 0.9%. Trial II was carried out under actual grazing conditions near Kamloops. Yearling ewes fed freshly cut TMV showed symptoms similar to those observed in Trial I. However, the symptoms were less severe and could be observed only when the sheep were exerted. The intestinal ulcers were found to be confined to the jejunum. The activity of the serum glutamic – oxaloacetic transaminase was significantly (p <.05) elevated in the sheep fed TMV indicating extensive tissue destruction. The level of thiamine in blood in both the trials was found to be within the normal range indicating that the beneficial effects of thiamine as a therapeutic agent in TMV poisoning may be indirect. When rats and mice were fed TMV, it was found that they developed a syndrome characterized by the manifestation of convulsive movements terminating in a state of inactivity and a significant decline in body temperature. Extensive hemorrhages were seen in the gastric mucosa. By chromatographic procedures it has been shown that miserotoxin is hydrolyzed to glucose and 3 - nitropropionic acid in the stomach of monogastric animals. In ruminants, miserotoxin is hydrolyzed to glucose and 3 - nitro - 1 - propanol which appears to be responsible for the toxicity.

description: Nach Papst Franziskus ist es wesentlich, eine „Kultur der Begegnung“ in einer
pluralen Welt zu entwickeln. Dazu soll auch der katholische Religionsunterricht
in Polen beitragen. Seine Aufgabe ist es, dass SchülerInnen im eigenen Glauben
wachsen. Damit ist auch eng verbunden, dass SchülerInnen sich engagieren,
nach ihrem Glauben im Alltag zu leben, auch in Beziehungen zu den anderen. In
diesem Beitrag wird zwei Fragen nachgegangen: Welche Voraussetzungen hat
der römisch-katholische Religionsunterricht Polens im Hinblick auf die „Kunst
der Begegnung“ mit dem Judentum und dem Islam? Und: Welche Einstellung zu
Christentum, Judentum und Islam haben Jugendliche im Alter von 15 bis 16 Jahren?
Das kann mithilfe einer hermeneutischen Analyse des Lehrplans für den
Religionsunterricht und einer Befragung zur Einstellung von SchülerInnen zu
ihrem Glauben und zu anderen Religionen beantwortet werden. Auf diese Weise
werden die lehrplanbezogenen Voraussetzungen des Religionsunterrichts mit
der Selbsteinschätzung von SchülerInnen in Bezug auf ihrer Einstellung (ihre persönlichen
Überzeugungen) zu den drei abrahamitischen Religionen nebeneinandergestellt.
Dieser Blick kann neue Perspektiven für den Religionsunterricht in
Polen eröffnen.
description: According to Pope Francis, it is essential to develop a „culture of encounter“ in a
plural world. The Catholic religious education in Poland should also contribute
to this. It´s aim is that students grow in their own faith. This is closely linked to
the goal that students are committed to live according to their convictions in
everyday life, including relationships with others. In this article, the two questions
are investigated: What are the requirements of Roman Catholic religious
education in Poland with regard to the „art of encounter“ with Judaism and
Islam? And: What is the attitude towards Christianity, Judaism and Islam among
young people aged 15 to 16? This can be answered with the help of a hermeneutic
analysis of the religious education curriculum and a questionnaire about
the attitudes of students concerning their beliefs and concerning other religions.
In this way, the syllabus-based requirements for religious education are compiled
with the self-assessment of pupils with regard to their attitude (their personal
convictions) to the three Abrahamic religions. This perspective can open up
new perspectives for religious education in Poland.

description: We test the ability of semiclassical theory to describe quantitatively the revival of quantum wavepackets --a long time phenomena-- in the one dimensional quartic oscillator (a Kerr type Hamiltonian). Two semiclassical theories are considered: time-dependent WKB and Van Vleck propagation. We show that both approaches describe with impressive accuracy the autocorrelation function and wavefunction up to times longer than the revival time. Moreover, in the Van Vleck approach, we can show analytically that the range of agreement extends to arbitrary long times.

An analysis of the stag beetle genus lissotes in Tasmania
Creators: name: Fernandez, Katrina
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Little is known about the extraordinarily rich Tasmanian beetle genus Lissotes, belonging to the ancient Stag Beetle family Lucanidae. No less than 25 described species are known to be endemic to Tasmania, with three species known in Victoria. In Tasmania a number of rare Lissotes beetles are threatened due to land clearing, including forest practices and other anthropogenic effects. Potential forestry threats to one species, L. latidens, are subject to current challenge in the Federal Court. The present taxonomy of the genus dates back to the last century and is based on a limited range of morphological characters. Some of these characters such as mandible size are sex-linked, subject to allometry, and are otherwise unreliable. My research aimed to bring modem methods of species discrimination to bear on this question. This study involved using a new suite of morphological characters (e.g. labrum and scutellum) as well as DNA molecular sequence data (Cytochrome b gene). However, technical difficulties precluded good resolution in the DNA data but new insights were gained from the morphological research. These DNA approaches deserve further investigation in the future. The study also provided an overview of the biology and distribution of the species. In doing so a more comprehensive understanding of the genus has been provided which will aid in future conservation efforts.

description: Different alumina (fused, sintered) as well as aluminium silicate raw materials (chamotte, mullite, bauxite, andalusite) were used as aggregates and partly as fillers for the preparation of low cement castables. Aim of our investigations was the effect of different compositions as well as impurity levels in the aggregates, but especially in the matrix of the castables on the thermo-mechanical properties of the products. The results obtained by characterising these materials especially with respect to refractoriness under load (RuL) but also to thermal shock behaviour and creep in compression (CiC) showed some interesting effects. Besides others the intermediate softening and re-stabilisation reactions observable within the course of the RuL were in focus of our investigations. In case of e.g. castables based on mullite aggregates a slightly higher thermal stability was found for raw materials with only 47% alumina in comparison to aggregates on base of a 70% Al2O3 product. This was surprising since the higher alumina content was expected to lead to a better performance. For alumina castables a higher RuL could be proved for a compo­sition on base of fused product in comparison to sintered alumina. Both effects are obviously related to the sodium present as an impurity in the raw materials. Nevertheless not only the absolute value is important but also the availability for the reactions occurring at high temperature. Therefore especially attention was turned to the investigation of the reasons for the unexpected behaviour of the relevant castable compositions. For this, analytical techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction in combination with a heating chamber (HT-XRD) were used. Interesting connections between matrix compositions and the behaviour of the castables could be detected, giving some insights on the course of high temperature reactions within the different investigated materials.

description: The principal filtration of the infinite-dimensional odd Contact Lie superalgebra over a field of characteristic $p>2$ is proved to be invariant under the automorphism group by investigating ad-nilpotent elements and determining certain invariants such as subalgebras generated by some ad-nilpotent elements. Then, it is proved that two automorphisms coincide if and only if they coincide on the -1 component with respect to the principal grading. Finally, all the odd Contact superalgebras are classified up to isomorphisms.

description: We study the random transverse field Ising model on a finite Cayley tree. This enables us to probe key questions arising in other important disordered quantum systems, in particular the Anderson transition and the problem of dirty bosons on the Cayley tree, or the emergence of non-ergodic properties in such systems. We numerically investigate this problem building on the cavity mean-field method complemented by state-of-the art finite-size scaling analysis. Our numerics agree very well with analytical results based on an analogy with the traveling wave problem of a branching random walk in the presence of an absorbing wall. Critical properties and finite-size corrections for the zero-temperature paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition are studied both for constant and algebraically vanishing boundary conditions. In the later case, we reveal a regime which is reminiscent of the non-ergodic delocalized phase observed in other systems, thus shedding some light on critical issues in the context of disordered quantum systems, such as Anderson transitions, the many-body localization or disordered bosons in infinite dimensions.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There is a strong intersection between the health system and the criminal justice system, as exemplified by problems encountered with mentally ill offenders. Therapeutic jurisprudence and the problem solving court model seek to overcome issues associated with the failure of traditional sentencing for this offender population, the 'revolving door' and deficits in treatment support. Evaluation research was utilised in this study to conduct a preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the Mental Health Diversion List pilot project. Rich qualitative data contributed to the emergence of various themes and issues indicating the general success of the List. However, different practitioner perspectives and debates revealed opportunities for further development.

description: We report theoretical values for the unscreened plasma frequencies Omega_p of several Fe pnictides obtained from DFT based calculations within the LDA and compare them with experimental plasma frequencies obtained from reflectivity data. The sizable renormalization observed for all considered compounds points to the presence of many-body effects beyond the LDA. From the large empirical background dielectric constant of about 12-15, we estimate a large arsenic polarizability of about 9.5 +- 1.2 Angstroem^3 where the details depend on the polarizabilities of the remaining ions taken from the literature. This large polarizability can significantly reduce the value of the Coulomb repulsion U_d about 4 eV on iron known from iron oxides to a level of 2 eV or below. In general, this result points to rather strong polaronic effects as suggested by G.A. Sawatzky et al., in Refs. arXiv:0808.1390 and arXiv:0811.0214 (Berciu et al.). Possible consequences for the conditions of a formation of bipolarons are discussed, too. From the extrapolated muon spin rotation penetration depth data at T= 0 and the experimental Omega_p we estimate the total coupling constant lambda_tot for the el-boson interaction within the Eliashberg-theory adopting a single band approximation. For LaFeAsO_0.9F_0.1 a weak to intermediately strong coupling regime and a quasi-clean limit behaviour are found. For a pronounced multiband case we obtain a constraint for various intraband coupling constants which in principle allows for a sizable strong coupling in bands with either slow electrons or holes.

The preferred habitat of the jack jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula) : a study in Hobart, Tasmania
Creators: name: Evans, MJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The jack jumper ant (Myrmecia pilosula), a member of the primitive Myrmecia genus of ants, is well known for its aggressive behaviour and painful, sometimes dangerous sting. However, although the ant is well known to Tasmanians, there are few published studies of its biology or ecology. This project is an attempt to address this lack of research and seeks to explore the interaction between humans and jack jumpers by understanding better the preferred habitat of the ant. Two studies were undertaken within the boundaries of the study area: Hobart City Council, Tasmania, Australia. In the first study, jack jumper nests were searched for ten times in transects, in each of the natural vegetation types. Data were collected on the presence or absence of jack jumper nests, vegetation type, vegetation structure, moss cover, bare ground cover, coarse woody debris cover, rock cover, litter cover, litter depth, and distance to nearest tree as well as observations made about each nest that was found. In the second study, residents of Hobart were surveyed using a questionnaire regarding the features of their property and whether they had ever seen a jack jumper nest or ant on their property. They were also asked to outline the circumstances in which they were stung. To analyse the data, thematic analyses, correlation analyses, analysis of variance, Wilcoxon tests, chi-square testing, logistic regression and ordination were used. The results of the study showed that, within the Hobart City Council boundary, jack jumpers are co-extensive with dry eucalypt open woodlands. These warm, dry and relatively open environments provide the ant with a combination of insolation for warmth and vegetation for food resources such as nectar and invertebrate prey. They also utilise the radiative warmth of rocks and dry soil and often . enhance their nest's thermal capacity with decorations of seeds, soil, charcoal, stones, sticks and sometimes small vertebrate bones. In a suburban context the ants are associated with native vegetation whilst utilising cracks in concrete, walls, rockeries, dry dirt and dry grassy areas to construct nests. The suburbs with a significant matrix of native vegetation such as Mt. Nelson, Fern Tree and West Hobart all contain the ants, whereas the heavily built up areas of Battery point and North Hobart do not. Humans are most likely to be stung by a jack jumper ant in their property when carrying out outdoor duties such as gardening or collecting firewood. They may also be stung whilst walking bare foot. A common sense approach should be employed in order to avoid a sting from a jack jumper. For those wishing to live in areas that do not contain the ant, the built up suburbs of Hobart are recommended.

description: Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) has been used as a theoretical framework to study real time series appearing in diverse scientific fields. Because its intrinsic non-stationarity and long range dependence, its characterization via the Hurst parameter H requires sophisticated techniques that often yield ambiguous results. In this work we show that fBm series map into a scale free visibility graph whose degree distribution is a function of H. Concretely, it is shown that the exponent of the power law degree distribution depends linearly on H. This also applies to fractional Gaussian noises (fGn) and generic f^(-b) noises. Taking advantage of these facts, we propose a brand new methodology to quantify long range dependence in these series. Its reliability is confirmed with extensive numerical simulations and analytical developments. Finally, we illustrate this method quantifying the persistent behavior of human gait dynamics.

description: Although GRB 211211A is one of the closest gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), its classification is challenging because of its partially inconclusive electromagnetic signatures. In this paper, we investigate four different astrophysical scenarios as possible progenitors for GRB~211211A: a binary neutron-star merger, a black-hole--neutron-star merger, a core-collapse supernova, and an r-process enriched core collapse of a rapidly rotating massive star (a collapsar). We perform a large set of Bayesian multi-wavelength analyses based on different models describing these scenarios and priors to investigate which astrophysical scenarios and processes might be related to GRB~211211A. Our analysis supports previous studies in which the presence of an additional component, likely related to $r$-process nucleosynthesis, is required to explain the observed light curves of GRB~211211A, as it can not solely be explained as a GRB afterglow. Fixing the distance to about $350~\rm Mpc$, namely the distance of the possible host galaxy SDSS J140910.47+275320.8, we find a statistical preference for a binary neutron-star merger scenario.

description: To improve insulin action, most clinicians prescribe Metformin in patients with insulin resistance (IR). Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in which IR is an important physiopathological mechanism, treatment with Metformin and specialized diets have been suggested to reduce the patient’s IR. However, numerous studies have demonstrated conflicting results with respect to supplementing a diet with Metformin. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine if Metformin provides a benefit in conjunction with hypocaloric diets to improve insulin sensitivity in PCOS women. PubMed, SCOPUS, LILACS, and EBSCO databases and retrieved studies’ bibliographies were searched for prospective studies that investigated the effect between Metformin and hypocaloric diets in PCOS women until April 2020. Pre- and post-intervention values for fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma insulin (FPI), and IR indices (HOMA1-IR, ISI, and QUICKI) were extracted. Using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software, the pooled standard difference in the means (SDM) and 95%CIs were calculated. 11 publications (12 studies) were selected. There was not a benefit of adding Metformin to a hypocaloric diet with respect to FPG (SDM= −0.17; 95%CI: −0.48–0.14, p = .28) and FPI (SDM = 0.16; 95%CI: −0.24–0.55, p = .45). None of the IR indices also demonstrated any benefit of using Metformin when a diet intervention was implemented (HOMA1-IR: SDM = 0.28; 95%CI: −0.27–0.84, p = .315; ISI: SDM = 0.344; 95%CI: −0.17–0.85, p = .186; QUICKI: SDM= −0.01; 95%CI: −0.42–0.41, p = .968). Here, we determined that adding Metformin to hypocaloric diets did not improve serum glucose or insulin concentrations as well as IR in PCOS women.

description: It was proven by Hitchin that any solution of his evolution equations for a half-flat SU(3)-structure on a compact six-manifold M defines an extension of M to a seven-manifold with holonomy in G_2. We give a new proof, which does not require the compactness of M. More generally, we prove that the evolution of any half-flat G-structure on a six-manifold M defines an extension of M to a Ricci-flat seven-manifold N, for any real form G of SL(3,C). If G is noncompact, then the holonomy group of N is a subgroup of the noncompact form G_2^* of G_2^C. Similar results are obtained for the extension of nearly half-flat structures by nearly parallel G_2- or G_2^*-structures, as well as for the extension of cocalibrated G_2- and G_2^*-structures by parallel Spin(7)- and Spin(3,4)-structures, respectively. As an application, we obtain that any six-dimensional homogeneous manifold with an invariant half-flat structure admits a canonical extension to a seven-manifold with a parallel G_2- or G_2^*-structure. For the group H_3 \times H_3, where H_3 is the three-dimensional Heisenberg group, we describe all left-invariant half-flat structures and develop a method to explicitly determine the resulting parallel G_2- or G_2^*-structure without integrating. In particular, we construct three eight-parameter families of metrics with holonomy equal to G_2 and G_2^*. Moreover, we obtain a strong rigidity result for the metrics induced by a half-flat structure (ω,ρ) on H_3 \times H_3 satisfying ω(Z,Z)=0 where Z denotes the centre. Finally, we describe the special geometry of the space of stable three-forms satisfying a reality condition. Considering all possible reality conditions, we find four different special Kähler manifolds and one special para-Kähler manifold.

description: The modulation of charge density and spin order in (LaMnO$_3$)$_{2n}$/(SrMnO$_3$)$_n$ ($n$=1-4) superlattices is studied via Monte Carlo simulations of the double-exchange model. G-type antiferromagnetic barriers in the SrMnO$_{3}$ regions with low charge density are found to separate ferromagnetic LaMnO$_{3}$ layers with high charge density. The recently experimentally observed metal-insulator transition with increasing $n$ is reproduced in our studies, and $n=3$ is found to be the critical value.

description: Exact simulation schemes under the Heston stochastic volatility model (e.g., Broadie-Kaya and Glasserman-Kim) suffer from computationally expensive modified Bessel function evaluations. We propose a new exact simulation scheme without the modified Bessel function, based on the observation that the conditional integrated variance can be simplified when conditioned by the Poisson variate used for simulating the terminal variance. Our approach also enhances the low-bias and time discretization schemes, which are suitable for pricing derivatives with frequent monitoring. Extensive numerical tests reveal the good performance of the new simulation schemes in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and reliability when compared with existing methods.
A Simple Explanation for DAMA with Moderate Channeling

description: We consider the possibility that the DAMA signal arises from channeled events in simple models where the dark matter interaction with nuclei is suppressed at small momenta. As with the standard WIMP, these models have two parameters (the dark matter mass and the size of the cross-section), without the need to introduce an additional energy threshold type of parameter. We find that they can be consistent with channeling fractions as low as about ~ 15%, so long as at least ~70% of the nuclear recoil energy for channeled events is deposited electronically. Given that there are reasons not to expect very large channeling fractions, these scenarios make the channeling explanation of DAMA much more compelling.

description: We propose a non-magnetic, pseudospin-based version of a spin valve, in which the pseudospin polarization in neighboring regions of a graphene bilayer is controlled by external gates. Numerical calculations demonstrate a large on-off ratio of such a device. This finding holds promise for the realization of pseudospintronics: a form of electronics based upon the manipulation of pseudospin analogous to the control of physical spin in spintronics applications.
