description: There are growing concerns and anxiety about privacy among the general public especially after the revelations of former NSA contractor and whistleblowers like Edward Snowden and others. While privacy is the fundamental concept of being human, the growing tug-of-war between an individuals privacy and freedom vs national security has renewed the concerns about where the fine balance should lie between the two. For the first time in history the technological advancement has made the mass data gathering, analysis, and storage a financially and technologically feasible option for the governments and private businesses. This has led to the growing interest of governments and security agencies around the globe to develop sophisticated algorithms using the power of Big-Data, Machine-Learning and Artificial Intelligence. The technology has enabled governments and private businesses to collect and store thousands of data points on every individual, which has put an individuals privacy under constant threat. This article analyses the individual's privacy concepts and its perceived link with national security. The article will also discuss the various aspects of privacy and national-security, arguments of both sides and where a boundary should be drawn between privacy and national security.

description: Two-dimensional systems can host exotic particles called anyons whose quantum statistics are neither bosonic nor fermionic. For example, the elementary excitations of the fractional quantum Hall effect at filling factor $ν=1/m$ (where m is an odd integer) have been predicted to obey abelian fractional statistics, with a phase $φ$ associated with the exchange of two particles equal to $π/m$. However, despite numerous experimental attempts, clear signatures of fractional statistics remain elusive. Here we experimentally demonstrate abelian fractional statistics at filling factor $ν=1/3$ by measuring the current correlations resulting from the collision between anyons at a beam-splitter. By analyzing their dependence on the anyon current impinging on the splitter and comparing with recent theoretical models, we extract $φ=π/3$, in agreement with predictions.

description: The Halpha gas kinematics of twenty-one representative barred spiral galaxies belonging to the BHaBAR sample is presented. The galaxies were observed with FaNTOmM, a Fabry-Perot integral-field spectrometer, on three different telescopes. The 3D data cubes were processed through a robust pipeline with the aim of providing the most homogeneous and accurate dataset possible useful for further analysis. The data cubes were spatially binned to a constant signal-to-noise ratio, typically around 7. Maps of the monochromatic Halpha emission line and of the velocity field were generated and the kinematical parameters were derived for the whole sample using tilted-ring models. The photometrical and kinematical parameters (position angle of the major axis, inclination, systemic velocity and kinematical centre) are in relative good agreement, except maybe for the later-type spirals.

description: There is growing support for the use of integrated assessments (IAs)/sustainability impact assessments (SIAs), at different government levels and geographic scales of policy-making and planning, both nationally and internationally. However, delivering good quality IAs/SIAs, in the near future, could be challenging. This paper mainly focuses upon one area of concern, differences between research and other technical contributions intended to strengthen assessment methodologies and the types of assessment methods considered usable by practitioners. To help in addressing this concern, the development of a common assessment framework is proposed, which is based on a shared, practitioner-researcher-stakeholder understanding of what constitutes a satisfactory integrated/sustainability impact assessment. The paper outlines a possible structure for this framework, which contains three interconnected elements - the planning context in which the assessment is to be carried out; the process by which the assessment is to be undertaken and its findings used; and the methods, technical and consultative, by which impacts are to be assessed. It concludes with suggested "next steps", addressed to researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders, by which the assessment framework might be tested and improved, and its subsequent use supported.
Attitudes to science as they relate to gender, participation, and achievement

description: The current study was designed to; a) determine the magnitude of existing gender differences in attitudes to science; b) determine the impact of gender on intent to study science at the upper-level in high school, and in post-secondary pursuits; c) evaluate the relationship between attitude to science and achievement in science; d) determine the impact of attitude to science on intent to study science at the upper-level in high school, and in post-secondary pursuits; e) explore and describe those factors which may influence attitude to science development; and, f) explore and describe those factors which may influence student decisions regarding further pursuit of science-based study. Results from the 1995 British Columbia Assessment of Mathematics and Science were analyzed and interviews were conducted. Results indicated that, although significant, gender differences in attitudes to science were very small and likely not meaningful. Results also showed that there was a significant difference between genders regarding intent to pursue further studies of science in both high school and post-secondary study. In addition, a weak relationship between attitudes and achievement was observed, and a positive relationship between attitude and intent to participate in upper-level high school biology, chemistry and physics courses, and in post-secondary science was also observed. Exploration of the potential influences that direct attitude to science development and decisions regarding further study of science included parental expectations, teacher instruction, peer influence, enjoyment, interest, perceived relevance, perception of self-ability, and applicability to chosen career path. Implications for prevention and intervention efforts, and future research directions are discussed.

description: The Wisconsin Economic Impact Modeling System, a conjoined input-output/econometric model of Wisconsin counties, is used to simulate the economic and fiscal impact of two alternative residential development patterns. Under the first scenario, the impact of migrating retirees on a small tri-county region in northern Wisconsin is examined. Under the second scenario, the impact of the migration of younger families with children is examined. A comparison-contrast between the two scenarios demonstrates that the characteristics of the migrating household can have a significant impact on the nature of the impacts.

description: Stamen with Asteropollis- type pollen sp. 1
Text-fig. 14a–e
Description and remarks. The species is based on a single stamen with numerous Asteropollistype pollen grains in situ. The stamen is slightly abraded, both apically and also at the base, but is estimated to have been about 1 mm long. The anther is about 0.4 mm broad, tetrasporangiate with two pairs of pollen sacs (Text-fig. 14a). Pollen is tetrachotomocolpate, circular in equatorial outline and about 20–23 µm in diameter (Text-fig. 14b–d). The arms of the aperture are short and do not reach the equator. The aperture margins are poorly defined and the aperture membrane is covered by irregular verrucae (Text-fig. 14c, d). The exine is semitectate-reticulate, columellate, with long, scattered columellae about 0.9 µm long that become thinner toward the base (Text-fig. 14e). Lumina are irregular in shape, up to about 1.5 µm in diameter. Muri are about 0.5 µm wide with a rounded profile and are ornamented by minute verrucae aligned in two rows along the margins of the muri (Text-fig. 14e).
Affinity and other occurrences. The in situ pollen grains are closely similar in size, shape and aperture configuration to pollen found attached to the surface of specimens of Hedyflora crystallifera from Catefica (above), and also specimens from Buarcos, the type locality for Hedyflora (Friis et al. 2019b). We consider it likely that this stamen, and the pistillate structures assigned to H. crystallifera, are from the unisexual flowers of the same plant species. In the size of the pollen grains, pollen shape, aperture configuration and details of the pollen wall the fossil stamen is also closely similar to material from the Torres Vedras locality described as “Stamen with in situ Asteropollis sp. pollen” (Friis et al. 2019a). Pollen grains associated with H. crystallifera from the Buarcos locality include tetrachotomocolpate as well as trichotomocolpate forms, while in the Catefica mesofossil flora stamens with both tri- and tetrachotomocolpate pollen have not been found. Dispersed pollen grains assigned to Asteropollis cf. asteroides that are reported from early Aptian to middle Albian strata from coastal sections in Portugal are closely similar to the in situ grains from Catefica in both size and their tetrachotomocolpate aperture (Heimhofer et al. 2007).

description: Northeast Dairy Compact impacts were estimated for Boston and Hartford retail prices using an econometric model. Asymmetric speeds of adjustment to farm price increases and decreases were found; however, tests indicated that retail prices do return to the same level following equal farm price increases and decreases. Model forecasts suggested no structural changes occurred during the out-of-sample period, July 1996 through June 1998. Simulations with and without the Compact predicted lower retail fluid milk price impacts than actual July 1997 changes. These predicted impacts separate the effects of farm price changes on retail prices from possibly confounding effects.

description: Motivated by the recent prediction of the Magnus Hall effect in systems with broken inversion symmetry, in this paper we study the Magnus Nernst effect and the Magnus thermal Hall effect. In presence of an in-built electric field, the self rotating wave-packets of electrons with finite Berry curvature generate a Magnus velocity perpendicular to both. This anomalous Magnus velocity gives rise to the Magnus Hall transport which manifests in all four electro-thermal transport coefficients. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of the Magnus Nernst and Magnus thermal Hall effect in monolayer WTe2 and gapped bilayer graphene, using the semiclassical Boltzmann formalism. We show that the Magnus velocity can also give rise to Magnus valley Hall effect in gapped graphene. Magnus velocity can be useful for experimentally probing the Berry curvature, and design of novel electrical and electro-thermal devices.

description: We explore the transfer of poultry litter among watersheds incorporating both economic characteristics (litter demand and supply) and environmental characteristics (vulnerability to phosphorus runoff, a major pollutant). A combination of techniques was employed: the Lemunyon-Gilbert P-Index model to determine watershed environmental vulnerability, GIS for land use coverages, and a goal focusing model (incorporating Saaty's eigen-value approach for penalty weight estimation) to identify optimal litter shipments among watersheds. Both primary and secondary data were used. The results should be useful to producers and policy makers in the study area and in other areas where poultry production is linked to water quality, and contribute to a more sustainable poultry sector.

description: We present the BOOMERanG-03 experiment and maps of the Stokes parameters I, Q, U of the microwave sky obtained during a 14 day balloon flight in 2003. Three regions of the southern sky were surveyed: a deep survey (~ 90 square degrees) and a shallow survey (~ 750 square degrees) at high Galactic latitudes (both centered at RA ~ 5.5 h, dec ~ -45 deg) and a survey of ~ 300 square degrees across the Galactic plane at RA ~ 9.1 h, dec ~ -47 deg. All three surveys were carried out in three wide frequency bands centered at 145, 245 and 345 GHz, with an angular resolution of ~ 10'. The 145 GHz maps of Stokes I are dominated by Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropy, which is mapped with high signal to noise ratio. The measured anisotropy pattern is consistent with the pattern measured in the same region by BOOMERanG-98 and by WMAP. The 145 GHz maps of Stokes Q and U provide a robust statistical detection of polarization of the CMB when subjected to a power spectrum analysis. This amplitude of the polarization is consistent with that of the CMB in the $Λ$CDM cosmological scenario. At 145 GHz, in the CMB surveys, the intensity and polarization of the astrophysical foregrounds are found to be negligible with respect to the cosmological signal. At 245 and 345 GHz we detect ISD emission correlated to the 3000 GHz IRAS/DIRBE maps, and give upper limits for any other non-CMB component. We also present intensity maps of the surveyed section of the Galactic plane. These are compared to monitors of different interstellar components, showing that a variety of emission mechanisms is present in that region.

description: Wildlife managers must consider the public's preferences for wildlife population levels when determining management policies. In 1996, Maryland farmers, hunters and the general public were surveyed to determine their preferences for increasing, maintaining, or decreasing deer population numbers. Using a random utility theoretic framework with an ordered response probit model, the factors that explain preferences such as residential location, socioeconomic characteristics, landscape damage, agricultural yield loss and vehicle accidents were analyzed.

description: In this paper, we consider the Biswas-Arshed model (BAM) with nonlinear Kerr and power law. We integrate these nonlinear structures of the BAM to obtain optical exact solitons that passing through the optical fibers. To retrieve the solutions, we apply the $\tan(\circleddash/2)$ expansion integral scheme to the structures of the BAM nonlinearity. The novel solutions present optical shock wave, double periodic optical solitons, interaction between optical periodic wave and optical solitons, and optical periodic and rogue waves for both structures of the model. It is shown that the amplitude of the periodic double solitons waves gradually increases and reached the highest peak at the moment of interaction, and it goes to diminish for a much larger time. In fact, we show that the amplitude of the wave for the interaction between periodic and optical solitons, gradually increases with beat phenomena. To the purpose, all these types of optical solitons can be frequently used to amplify or reduce waves for a certain hight. Moreover, we describe the physical phenomena of the solitons in graphically.

description: Automatic, or robotic, milking systems have the potential to significantly change the way milk is produced on U.S. dairy farms. However, there is a high degree of uncertainty associated with adoption of this new technology. A real options approach is used to analyze the decision to replace an operational milking system with an automatic milking system. The most important source of uncertainty is shown to be the length of the technology's useful life. Under our assumptions, the automatic system is always an optimal investment if it is certain that it will last longer than the operational system being replaced.

description: The land grant system is a value-added infrastructure, designed to extend the boundaries of traditional colleges and universities to bring science to bear on the pressing needs and problems of underserved citizens and communities. With supplemental resources to support mission-oriented research and outreach, the system has addressed a market failure in higher education. It has been a key asset in achieving for the United States a vibrant agricultural economy, a prominent position in world trade, significant rural development, healthy families and communities, and the increasingly sustainable natural resource base that are characteristic of "the great American Society." This paper explores some of the recent challenges facing the land grant system, provides a framework for examining these challenges, and stresses the need for a new cadre of "land grant economists" to provide leadership as land grants struggle to identify new visions, missions, programs, and innovations that would serve as the bedrock of a new system. Selected areas of emerging opportunities for land grant intervention are also identified.

description: This study extends the joint estimation of revealed and stated preference data literature by accounting for truncation in the revealed preference data. The analytical model and estimation procedure are used to estimate the value of recreational red snapper fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. This recreational red snapper valuation is decomposed into its direct and indirect components. As expected, the value of recreational red snapper fishing using the joint revealed-stated preference model proposed in this analysis is bracketed on the upper limit by the value obtained using the contingent valuation method and on the lower limit by the travel cost method. The results also indicate that the joint model improves the precision of estimated recreational red snapper valuation.
Farmland Preservation and Differential Taxation: Evaluating Optimal Policy Under Conditions of Uncertainty

description: Differential property tax policy for farmland is often set under conditions of uncertainty and limited information regarding landowners' objective functions. This study examines optimal differential tax policy for a parcel of agricultural land facing uncertain development, identifying instances in which common farmland taxation policies may be non-optimal. Optimal tax rates are characterized given three possible causes of uncertain development: exogenous offers from developers, tax-related reductions in landowner wealth, and a combination of these factors. Model results indicate that underlying causes of uncertain development are critical when seeking to assess the optimality of differential taxation policies, and the use of a single, time-invariant differential tax levy is rarely optimal given uncertain development.

A linear programming model is employed to examine dairy farm resource use and profitability, with the P-index used to impose phosphorus movement constraints. Results indicate dramatic differences in farm resource use and farm business profitability depending on the level of the P-index. Small changes in the target index level result in large shifts in optimal resource use and business profitability. These differences illustrate that restrictions on phosphorus movement from land to surface waters potentially have major impacts on resource use and farm profitability in the New York City Watershed.

description: A 3-parameter generalization of the Lunin-Maldacena background has recently been constructed by Frolov. This gamma_i-deformed background is non-supersymmetric. We consider strings in this gamma_i-deformed R \times S^5 background rotating in three orthogonal planes (the 3-spin sector) in a fast motion limit, in which the total angular momentum J is assumed to be large. We show that there exists a consistent transformation which takes the undeformed equations of motion into the gamma_i-deformed equations of motion. This transformation is used to construct a Lax pair for the bosonic part of the gamma_i-deformed theory in the fast motion limit. This implies the integrability of the bosonic part of the gamma_i-deformed string sigma model in the fast motion limit.

The role of language in planning for science instruction : case studies of four teachers of the gifted
Creators: name: Graham, Valerie Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This exploratory project investigated the perceptions of four elementary teachers of the gifted in regard to the role of language in planning for science instruction. Four case studies emerged from this project, a case study of each of the three volunteer teachers and my self-study. During one school year, the three volunteers, the school principal, the language consultant, my research advisor and I were involved in this project. The information in the four cases was derived from many sources including a series of seven videotaped science workshops with the three volunteers, ten videotaped discussions between the language consultant and me, nine videotaped individual interviews with the three volunteers, two videotaped interviews with the principal, my research journal and four cumulative teacher portfolios. Within each case study, I interpreted the transcribed "critical conversations" and other data that were relevant to my research problem. Specifically, I investigated what the teachers perceived regarding (1) their judgements about selecting and defining school science language and concepts, (2) their strategies for teaching and/or assessing school science language and concepts, and (3) the impact of the workshops. The findings indicate that each teacher noticed (1) that her judgements about selecting and defining school science language and concepts were an important part of planning for instruction, (2) the usefulness of translating back and forth between everyday science language and concepts and school science language and concepts, (3) that the workshops encouraged the exploration of alternative teaching and/or assessment strategies, and (4) that participation in this project coincided with some changes in her teaching practice.

description: In mathematical finance, a process of calibrating stochastic volatility (SV) option pricing models to real market data involves a numerical calculation of integrals that depend on several model parameters. This optimization task consists of large number of integral evaluations with high precision and low computational time requirements. However, for some model parameters, many numerical quadrature algorithms fail to meet these requirements. We can observe an enormous increase in function evaluations, serious precision problems and a significant increase of computational time. In this paper we numerically analyse these problems and show that they are especially caused by inaccurately evaluated integrands. We propose a fast regime switching algorithm that tells if it is sufficient to evaluate the integrand in standard double arithmetic or if a higher precision arithmetic has to be used. We compare and recommend numerical quadratures for typical SV models and different parameter values, especially for problematic cases.

Scintillation can explain the spectral structure of the bright radio burst from SGR 1935+2154

description: The discovery of a fast radio burst (FRB) associated with a magnetar in the Milky Way by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment FRB collaboration (CHIME/FRB) and the Survey for Transient Astronomical Radio Emission 2 (STARE2) has provided an unprecedented opportunity to refine FRB emission models. The burst discovered by CHIME/FRB shows two components with different spectra. We explore interstellar scintillation as the origin for this variation in spectral structure. Modeling a weak scattering screen in the supernova remnant associated with the magnetar, we find that a superluminal apparent transverse velocity of the emission region of $>9.5\,c$ is needed to explain the spectral variation. Alternatively, the two components could have originated from independent emission regions spaced by $>8.3\times10^4\,$km. These scenarios may arise in "far-away" models where the emission originates from well beyond the magnetosphere of the magnetar (for example through a synchrotron-maser mechanism set up by an ultra-relativistic radiative shock), but not in "close-in" models of emission from within the magnetosphere. If further radio observations of the magnetar confirm scintillation as the source for the observed variation in spectral structure, this scattering model thus constrains the location of the emission region.

Geometric criticality between plaquette phases in integer-spin kagome XXZ antiferromagnets

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: The phase diagram of the uniaxially anisotropic $s=1$ antiferromagnet on the kagomé lattice includes a critical line exactly described by the classical three-color model. This line is distinct from the standard geometric classical criticality that appears in the classical limit ($s \to \infty$) of the 2D XY model; the $s=1$ geometric T=0 critical line separates two unconventional plaquette-ordered phases that survive to nonzero temperature. The experimentally important correlations at finite temperature and the nature of the transitions into these ordered phases are obtained using the mapping to the three-color model and a combination of perturbation theory and a variational ansatz for the ordered phases. The ordered phases show sixfold symmetry breaking and are similar to phases proposed for the honeycomb lattice dimer model and $s=1/2$ $XXZ$ model. The same mapping and phase transition can be realized also for integer spins $s \geq 2$ but then require strong on-site anisotropy in the Hamiltonian.

description: Determinants of job mobility and job advancement were motivated from a model of investment in human capital. Least squares and Tobit models were specified and estimated using data from a recent survey of Kansas State University College of Agriculture graduates. Determinants of job turnover and the number of promotions earned were quantified. Job change and job advancement were found to occur early in the careers of agriculture college alumni. Job experience was found to be the most significant determinant of labor mobility and promotion. Personal and occupational characteristics were found to have significant but small impacts on labor mobility and advancement.

description: Previous research indicates that policy perceptions are important in explaining individual preferences for government expenditures. In this article we study agricultural policy preferences using national survey data containing several policy perception measurements. A model linking preferences to perceptions through an underlying unobservable variable is estimated and assessed using the bootstrap. The perception that farmers receive too much government assistance is dominant, affecting preferences negatively. Perceptions concerning the importance of agriculture to the economy, financial stress and profitability, and farming as an occupation are also important. Some selective preference for family farm support is indicated with implications for efforts to promote such support.

description: We have developed a method to make a spectral-line-based survey of hot cores, which represent an important stage of high-mass star formation, and applied the method to the data of the FUGIN (FOREST Unbiased Galactic plane Imaging survey with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope) survey. First, we select hot core candidates by searching the FUGIN data for the weak hot core tracer lines (HNCO and CH$_3$CN) by stacking, and then we conduct follow-up pointed observations on these candidates in C$^{34}$S, SO, OCS, HC$_3$N, HNCO, CH$_3$CN, and CH$_3$OH $J=2-1$ and $J=8-7$ lines to confirm and characterize them. We applied this method to the $l = 10^\circ-20^\circ$ portion of the FUGIN data and identified 22 "Hot Cores" (compact sources with more than two significant detection of the hot core tracer lines, i.e., SO, OCS, HC$_3$N, HNCO, CH$_3$CN, or CH$_3$OH $J=8-7$ lines) and 14 "Dense Clumps" (sources with more than two significant detection of C$^{34}$S, CH$_3$OH $J=2-1$, or the hot core tracer lines). The identified Hot Cores are found associated with signposts of high-mass star formation such as ATLASGAL clumps, WISE HII regions, and Class II methanol masers. For those associated with ATLASGAL clumps, their bolometric luminosity to clump mass ratios are consistent with the star formation stages centered at the hot core phase. The catalog of FUGIN Hot Cores provides a useful starting point for further statistical studies and detailed observations of high-mass star forming regions.

description: A single photon source is a key enabling technology in device-independent quantum communication, quantum simulation for instance boson sampling, linear optics-based and measurement-based quantum computing. These applications involve many photons and therefore place stringent requirements on the efficiency of single photon creation. The scaling on efficiency is an exponential function of the number of photons. Schemes taking full advantage of quantum superpositions also depend sensitively on the coherence of the photons, i.e. their indistinguishability. It is therefore crucial to maintain the coherence over long strings of photons. Here, we report a single photon source with an especially high system efficiency: a photon is created on-demand at the output of the final optical fibre with a probability of 57%. The coherence of the photons is very high and is maintained over a stream consisting of thousands of photons; the repetition rate is in the GHz regime. We break with the established semiconductor paradigms, such as micropillars, photonic crystal cavities and waveguides. Instead, we employ gated quantum dots in an open, tunable microcavity. The gating ensures low-noise operation; the tunability compensates for the lack of control in quantum dot position and emission frequency; the output is very well-matched to a single-mode fibre. An increase in efficiency over the state-of-the-art by more than a factor of two, as reported here, will result in an enormous decrease in run-times, by a factor of $10^{7}$ for 20 photons.

description: It is thought that a region of pseudo-vacuum, where the chiral order parameter is misaligned from its vacuum orientation in isospin space, might occasionally form in high energy hadronic or nuclear collisions. The possible detection of such disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) would provide useful information about the chiral structure of the QCD vacuum and/or the chiral phase transition of strong interactions at high temperature. We review the theoretical developments concerning the possible DCC formation in high-energy collisions as well as the various experimental searches that have been performed so far. We discuss future prospects for upcoming DCC searches, e.g. in high-energy heavy-ion collision experiments at RHIC and LHC.
