description: Radio emission in extensive air showers arises from an interaction with the geomagnetic field and is subject of theoretical studies. This radio emission has advantages for the detection of high energy cosmic rays compared to secondary particle or fluorescence measurement methods. Radio antennas like the LOPES30 antenna system are suited to investigate this emission process by detecting the radio pulses. The characteristic observable parameters like electric field strength and pulse length require a calibration which was done with a reference radio source resulting in an amplification factor representing the system behavior in the environment of the KASCADE-Grande experiment. Knowing the amplification factor and the gain of the LOPES antennas LOPES30 is calibrated absolutely for systematic analyses of the radio emission.

description: Purpose: Telepractice has been used as an alternative service delivery model in speech-language pathology across various settings and the scope of practice. Despite its utility and increasing demands resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic, some clinicians and clients continue to report apprehension to adopting telepractice service delivery model due to discomfort with technology. Among currently available telepractice platforms, “ZOOM” is one of the popular platforms among speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the United States because of its usability and subscription cost. However, many challenges have been experienced by clinicians and clients when ZOOM is used. The purpose of this article was twofold. The first goal of this article was to address barriers and challenges to implement successful telepractice SLP services. The second goal of this article was to develop four step-by-step troubleshooting manuals (one for client and one for clinician in both English and Spanish) to enhance its utility for users.Conclusion: Preliminary qualitative data showed that the manuals developed by the authors were useful and functional for graduate SLP students.

description: We investigate the many-body effects of a magnetic adatom in ferromagnetic graphene by using the numerical renormalization group method. The nontrivial band dispersion of ferromagnetic graphene gives rise to interesting Kondo physics different from that in conventional ferromagnetic materials. For a half-filled impurity in undoped graphene, the presence of ferromagnetism can bring forth Kondo correlations, yielding two kink structures in the local spectral function near the Fermi energy. When the spin splitting of local occupations is compensated by an external magnetic field, the two Kondo kinks merge into a full Kondo resonance characterizing the fully screened ground state. Strikingly, we find the resulting Kondo temperature monotonically increases with the spin polarization of Dirac electrons, which violates the common sense that ferromagnetic bands are usually detrimental to Kondo correlations. Doped ferromagnetic graphene can behave as half metals, where its density of states at the Fermi energy linearly vanishes for one spin direction but keeps finite for the opposite direction. In this regime, we demonstrate an abnormal Kondo resonance that occurs in the first spin direction, while completely absent in the other one.

description: We present here the discovery and characterisation of a very light planet around HD4308. The planet orbits its star in 15.56 days. The circular radial-velocity variation presents a tiny semi-amplitude of 4.1 m/s that corresponds to a planetary minimum mass m2sin(i)=14.1 Earth masses. The planet was unveiled by high-precision radial-velocity measurements obtained with the HARPS spectrograph on the ESO 3.6-m telescope. The radial-velocity residuals around the Keplerian solution are 1.3 m/s, demonstrating the very high quality of the HARPS measurements. Activity and bisector indicators exclude any significant perturbations of stellar intrinsic origin, which supports the planetary interpretation. Contrary to most planet-host stars, HD4308 has a marked sub-solar metallicity ([Fe/H]=-0.31), raising the possibility that very light planet occurrence might show a different coupling with the parent star's metallicity than do giant gaseous extra-solar planets. Together with Neptune-mass planets close to their parent stars, the new planet occupies a position in the mass-separation parameter space that is constraining for planet-formation and evolution theories. The question of whether they can be considered as residuals of evaporated gaseous giant planets, ice giants, or super-earth planets is discussed in the context of the latest core-accretion models.

description: We present $NuSTAR$ observations of four active galactic nuclei (AGN) located within 15 Mpc. These AGN, namely ESO 121-G6, NGC 660, NGC 3486 and NGC 5195, have observed X-ray luminosities of $L_{\rm 2-10\ keV, obs} \lesssim$ 10$^{39}$ erg s$^{-1}$, classifying them as low luminosity AGN (LLAGN). We perform broadband X-ray spectral analysis for the AGN by combining our $NuSTAR$ data with $Chandra$ or $XMM-Newton$ observations to directly measure their column densities ($N_{\rm H}$) and infer their intrinsic power. We complement our X-ray data with archival and new high angular resolution mid-infrared (mid-IR) data for all objects, except NGC 5195. Based on our X-ray spectral analysis, we found that both ESO 121-G6 and NGC 660 are heavily obscured ($N_{\rm H}$ > 10$^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$; $L_{\rm 2-10\ keV,\ int} \sim$ 10$^{41}$ erg s$^{-1}$), and NGC 660 may be Compton-thick. We also note that the X-ray flux and spectral slope for ESO 121-G6 have significantly changed over the last decade, indicating significant changes in the obscuration and potentially accretion rate. On the other hand, NGC 3486 and NGC 5195 appear to be unobscured and just mildly obscured, respectively, with $L_{\rm 2-10\ keV,\ int} $ 10$^{41}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and $λ_{\rm Edd} \gtrsim$ 10$^{-3}$, and are detected in high angular resolution mid-IR imaging, indicating the presence of obscuring dust on nuclear scale. NGC 3486 however, is undetected in high-resolution mid-IR imaging, and the current data do not provide stringent constraints on the presence or absence of obscuring nuclear dust in the AGN.

description: The quantum state of a flux qubit was successfully pulse-controlled by using a resonant microwave. We observed Ramsey fringes by applying a pair of phase-shifted pi/2 microwave pulses without introducing detuning. With this method, the qubit state can be rotated on an arbitrary axis in the x-y plane of the Bloch sphere in a rotating frame. We obtained a qubit signal from a coherent oscillation with an angular velocity of up to 2pi*11.4 Grad/s. In combination with Rabi pulses, this method enables us to achieve full control of single qubit operation. It also offers the possibility of orders of magnitude increases in the speed of the arbitrary unitary gate operation.

description: We have identified a new type of transition from extended to localized vibrational states in one-dimensional graded elastic chains of coupled harmonic oscillators, in which the vibrating masses or nearest-coupling force constants vary linearly along the chain. We found that the delocalization transition occurs at the maximum frequency of the corresponding homogeneous chain, which is in a continuous single band. Although each state in the localized phase, called gradon, can be regarded as an impurity localized mode, the localization profile is clearly distinct from usual impurity modes or the Anderson localized modes. We also argue how gradons may affect the macroscopic properties of graded systems. Our results can provide insights into many analogous systems with graded characters.

description: This work presents an efficient numerical method to evaluate the free energy density and associated thermodynamic quantities of (quasi) one-dimensional classical systems, by combining the transfer operator approach with a numerical discretization of integral kernels using quadrature rules. For analytic kernels, the technique exhibits exponential convergence in the number of quadrature points. As demonstration, we apply the method to a classical particle chain, to the semiclassical nonlinear Schrödinger equation and to a classical system on a cylindrical lattice.

description: We investigate a one-dimensional Rabi-Hubbard type of model, arranged such that a qdot is sandwiched between every cavity. The role of the qdot is to transmit photons between neighboring cavities, while simultaneously acting as a photon non-linearity. We consider three-level qdots in the $Λ$ configuration, where the left and right leg couples exclusively to the left or right cavity. This non-commuting interaction leads to two highly entangled incompressible phases, separated by a second order quantum phase transition: the qdot degrees-of-freedom act as a dynamical lattice for the photons and a Peierls instability breaks a second $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry which leads to a dimerization in entanglement and photon number. We also find a normal insulating phase and a superfluid phase that acts as a quantum many-body superradiant phase. In the superradiant phase, a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry is broken and the phase transition falls within the transverse field Ising model universality class. Finally, we show that a limit of the model can be interpreted as a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory.

description: A very large thermoelectric figure of merit ZT = 6 at 380 K has recently been reported in Fe$_2$V$_{0.8}$W$_{0.2}$Al under thin-film form (Hinterleitner et al., Nature 576 (2019) 85). Under this form, Fe$_2$V$_{0.8}$W$_{0.2}$Al experimentally crystallizes in a disordered A2 crystal structure, different from its bulk-form structure (L21). First principles calculations of the electronic structure performed in A2-Fe$_2$V$_{0.8}$W$_{0.2}$Al supercells generated by the Special Quasi-random Structure (SQS) method are thus reported here. These calculations unambiguously indicate that A2-Fe$_2$V$_{0.8}$W$_{0.2}$Al is a ferromagnetic metal at 0 K, displaying a small Seebeck coefficient at 400 K (< 30 microV/K). The present results contradict the scenario of the occurrence of a deep pseudo-gap at the Fermi level, previously invoked to justify ZT = 6 in Fe$_2$V$_{0.8}$W$_{0.2}$Al thin films.

description: In part I of this work we studied the spaces of real algebraic cycles on a complex projective space P(V), where V carries a real structure, and completely determined their homotopy type. We also extended some functors in K-theory to algebraic cycles, establishing a direct relationship to characteristic classes for the classical groups, specially Stiefel-Whitney classes. In this sequel, we establish corresponding results in the case where V has a quaternionic structure. The determination of the homotopy type of quaternionic algebraic cycles is more involved than in the real case, but has a similarly simple description. The stabilized space of quaternionic algebraic cycles admits a nontrivial infinite loop space structure yielding, in particular, a delooping of the total Pontrjagin class map. This stabilized space is directly related to an extended notion of quaternionic spaces and bundles (KH-theory), in analogy with Atiyah's real spaces and KR-theory, and the characteristic classes that we introduce for these objects are nontrivial. The paper ends with various examples and applications.

description: It has been suggested that hydrogen ingestion into the helium shell of massive stars could lead to high $^{13}$C and $^{15}$N excesses when the shock of a core-collapse supernova passes through its helium shell. This prediction questions the origin of extremely high $^{13}$C and $^{15}$N abundances observed in rare presolar SiC grains which is usually attributed to classical novae. In this context $^{13}$N($α$,p)$^{16}$O the reaction plays an important role since it is in competition with $^{13}$N $β^+$-decay to $^{13}$C. The $^{13}$N($α$,p)$^{16}$O reaction rate used in stellar evolution calculations comes from the CF88 compilation with very scarce information on the origin of this rate. The goal of this work is to provide a recommended $^{13}$N($α$,p)$^{16}$O reaction rate, based on available experimental data. Unbound nuclear states in the $^{17}$F compound nucleus were studied using the spectroscopic information of the analog states in $^{17}$O nucleus that were measured at the Alto facility using the $^{13}$C($^7$Li,t)$^{17}$O alpha-transfer reaction, and spectroscopic factors were derived using a DWBA analysis. This spectroscopic information was used to calculate a recommended $^{13}$N($α$,p)$^{16}$O reaction rate with meaningful uncertainty using a Monte Carlo approach. The present $^{13}$N($α$,p)$^{16}$O reaction rate is found to be within a factor of two of the previous evaluation, with a typical uncertainty of a factor 2-3. The source of this uncertainty comes from the three resonances at $E_r^{c.m.} = 221$, 741 and 959 keV. This new error estimation translates to an overall uncertainty in the $^{13}$C production of a factor of 50. The main source of uncertainty on the re-evaluated $^{13}$N($α$,p)$^{16}$O reaction rate currently comes from the uncertain alpha-width of relevant $^{17}$F states.

description: This study analyzed the market potential for locally grown shiitake mushrooms at the retail level in North Alabama. The data for this study were taken from a survey administered to produce managers of 79 retail stores in the region. Of the 79 stores in the sample, only 32 sold shiitake mushrooms. Results revealed that shiitake mushrooms were the third most retailed mushroom in North Alabama. Furthermore, supermarkets and specialty stores were more likely to stock shiitake mushrooms than were grocery stores. Among the shiitake types, fresh shiitake mushrooms were the most common, followed by packaged and dried forms, respectively. When sourcing for shiitake mushrooms, quality, freshness, and price were the three most important factors considered by produce managers.
Thoughtful interaction : students’ text communication in online distance education
Creators: name: Alexander, Leslie R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Interpretive and hermeneutic interview methodology was employed to report students' descriptions of the peer interactions during one online distance education course. Claims in the literature that online learning can be designed using social-constructivist pedagogies provided the context for this study. The course is a graduate level study of e-learning which is offered on WebCT and accessed through the Internet. Eight students, seven from North America and one from Oceania volunteered to participate in two phone interviews during the second half of the semester. The analysis of the interviews presents the descriptions and perspectives of students on the interactions among peers in the course. They described using asynchronous text computer-mediated communication to participate in online class discussions. Reading text messages led students to further study and research and to develop an understanding of course topics. Writing messages to contribute to the online discussions enabled students to communicate and clarify their ideas and to integrate new information related to the course. However, the time used in the work of active and reflective reading and writing limited the students' participation in the discussions. The students also described using online text interaction to work with a small group on an assigned task. The students valued the structured time frame and common goal of the task, and the personal connection with group members. They also felt more responsibility to participate, to contribute their expertise and to solve problems that arose. This study supports claims that students can participate in thoughtful interactions in an online learning environment in which the communication occurs by asynchronous text C M C . However, the students' interests and the course design and content affect these interactions. Time for the literacy practices of online interactions and an appreciation of the complexity of students' social, linguistic and cultural interests are needed.
Self-organization of gene regulatory network motifs enriched with short transcript's half-life transcription factors

description: Network motifs, the recurring regulatory structural patterns in networks, are able to self-organize to produce networks. Three major motifs, feedforward loop, single input modules and bi-fan are found in gene regulatory networks. The large ratio of genes to transcription factors (TFs) in genomes leads to a sharing of TFs by motifs and is sufficient to result in network self-organization. We find a common design principle of these motifs: short transcript's half-life (THL) TFs are significantly enriched in motifs and hubs. This enrichment becomes one of the driving forces for the emergence of the network scale-free topology and allows the network to quickly adapt to environmental changes. Most feedforward loops and bi-fans contain at least one short THL TF, which can be seen as a criterion for self-assembling these motifs. We have classified the motifs according to their short THL TF content. We show that the percentage of the different motif subtypes varies in different cellular conditions.

The existence of multiple segments in the wine market indicates that separately targeted marketing campaigns may be more effective than broad marketing campaigns for wine.

description: Turbulence plays an important role in the structure and dynamics of the galaxy and influences various processes therein including star formation. In this work, we investigate the large scale turbulence properties of the external spiral galaxy NGC 5236. We combine the VLA multi-configuration archival data with the new GMRT observation to estimate the column density and line of sight velocity fluctuation power spectra for this galaxy over almost two decades of length scales. The energy input scale to the ISM turbulence is found to be around $6$ kpc. Power spectra of the two-dimensional turbulence in the galaxy's disk follow a power law with a slope $-1.23\pm0.06$ for the column density and $-1.91\pm0.08$ for the line of sight velocity. The measured power spectra slopes strongly suggest in favour of a compressive forcing with a steady energy input of $\sim 7 \times 10^{-11}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$. We conclude that much of these originate from the gravitational instabilities and self-gravity in the disk. This is the first and most comprehensive study of turbulence statistics for any external spiral galaxy.

Whiney student teachers : an outside perspective
Creators: name: Mitchell, Lindsay C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Data suggests that student teachers at a major Canadian university, when in conflict with their faculty, tend to seek third party intervention in greater numbers than both their colleagues in other academic units at that university, and their counterparts in teacher education programs elsewhere. What does this mean? Is this particular teacher education program troubled, or are its student teachers simply more troublesome? These intentionally provocative questions frame the inquiry undertaken here. The situation, captured at the focal point of conflict - the "complaint department," is presented within the context of a large and venerable institution being called to account for its activites by a relatively small and, for all intents and purposes, insignificant group of individuals. Whiney Student Teachers strives to present a fair and balanced analysis from the perspective of the "complaint handler." It is intended not to point fingers, criticize, blame, or otherwise suggest how teacher education "ought" to be conducted, but to enhance empathy among participants, and to promote positive opportunities for adult learning.

description: Empirical results from two-ordered probit models suggest that (a) men, Catholics, and blue-collar workers are more positive about rabbit meat than their corresponding counterparts are; (b) men, Catholics, and blue-collar workers are the major consumers of rabbit meat in Louisiana and southeast Texas; and (c) 11 percent of female consumers are willing to try rabbit meat. Rabbit meat is low in fat, sodium, and cholesterol, and high in protein, but its price is comparable to that of bone and skinless chicken breast. Therefore, any promotional efforts to expand consumption must emphasize the meat's nutritional attributes rather than its price.

description: We develop a quantum theory of near-field electrodynamical properties of carbon nanotubes and investigate spontaneous decay dynamics of excited states and van der Waals attraction of the ground state of an atomic system close to a single-wall nanotube surface. Atomic spontaneous decay exhibits vacuum-field Rabi oscillations -- a principal signature of strong atom-vacuum-field coupling. The strongly coupled atomic state is nothing but a 'quasi-1D cavity polariton'. Its stability is mainly determined by the atom-nanotube van der Waals interaction. Our calculations of the ground-state atom van der Waals energy performed within a universal quantum mechanical approach valid for both weak and strong atom-field coupling demonstrate the inapplicability of conventional weak-coupling-based van der Waals interaction models in a close vicinity of the nanotube surface.

description: There were two schools of thought to the roots of the farm depression in the United States during the 1920s. One school argued that there was overcapacity in agriculture and recommended production adjustment programs. Another school argued that the problem of agriculture had to do with financial and monetary chaos in the general economy and advocated better central banking and monetary reform. This paper evaluates arguments and policy recommendations from both schools using a traditional general equilibrium model and a macroeconomic model. Theory and data do not support the former school. There is no evidence of a long-run fall in agriculture's term-of-trade due to oversupply of farm goods. During the 1920s agriculture's declining share in the general economy was due to either slower endowment growth or slower productivity growth relative to the non-farm sector. In this environment production adjustment programs could hasten the decline of the sector. More support is found for the arguments of the latter school. In a fix-flex price environment a shock created by financial and monetary chaos would create the price pattern observed in the data. This latter school however lost in the battle of policy making. The core of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 was a production adjustment program.

description: An observational approach is presented to constrain the global structure and evolution of the intracluster medium based on the ROSAT and ASCA distant cluster sample. From statistical analysis of the gas density profile and the connection to the LX-T relation under the beta-model, the scaled gas profile is nearly universal for the outer region and the LX(>0.2r500) is tightly related to the temperature through T^3 rather than T^2. On the other hand, a large density scatter exists in the core region and there is clearly a deviation from the self-similar scaling for clusters with a small core size. A direct link between the core size and the radiative cooling timescale suggest that t_cool is a parameter to control the gas structure and the appearance of small cores in regular clusters may be much connected with the thermal evolution. We derive the luminosity-ambient temperature (T') relation, assuming the universal temperature profile to find the dispersion around the relation significantly decreases: L_1keV is almost constant for a wide range of t_cool. We further examined the LX-Tbeta and LX-T'beta relations and showed a trend that merging clusters segregate from the regular clusters on the planes. A good correlation between t_cool and the X-ray morphology on the L_1keV-t_cool/t_age plane leads us to define three phases according to the different level of cooling, and draw a phenomenological picture: after a cluster collapses and t_cool falls below t_age, the core cools radiatively with quasi-hydrostatic balancing in the gravitational potential, and the central density gradually becomes higher to evolve from an outer-core-dominant cluster to inner-core-dominant cluster.

description: Albeit recent progress in speaker verification generates powerful models, malicious attacks in the form of spoofed speech, are generally not coped with. Recent results in ASVSpoof2015 and BTAS2016 challenges indicate that spoof-aware features are a possible solution to this problem. Most successful methods in both challenges focus on spoof-aware features, rather than focusing on a powerful classifier. In this paper we present a novel raw waveform based deep model for spoofing detection, which jointly acts as a feature extractor and classifier, thus allowing it to directly classify speech signals. This approach can be considered as an end-to-end classifier, which removes the need for any pre- or post-processing on the data, making training and evaluation a streamlined process, consuming less time than other neural-network based approaches. The experiments on the BTAS2016 dataset show that the system performance is significantly improved by the proposed raw waveform convolutional long short term neural network (CLDNN), from the previous best published 1.26\% half total error rate (HTER) to the current 0.82\% HTER. Moreover it shows that the proposed system also performs well under the unknown (RE-PH2-PH3,RE-LPPH2-PH3) conditions.

The quasi-static confined uniaxial compaction of granular alumina and boron carbide was studied, and the effect of triaxial stress on the materials as a function of increasing particle size was observed. The average particle sizes studied for granular alumina were 170 ± 63, 230 ± 55, 330 ± 67, and 450 ± 83 µm. The average particle size studied for granular boron carbide were 170 ± 40, 190 ± 34, 320 ± 59, and 470 ± 90 µm. The material response at hydrostatic pressure as a function of porosity, the bulk modulus as a function of hydrostatic pressure, and the transmission ratio as a function of applied load was evaluated for increasing particle size. For alumina, the increase in particle size resulted in an increase in strength for a fixed porosity, the bulk modulus of this material did not show clear particle size-dependent trends, and the transmission ratio increased with increase in particle size. Conversely, for granular boron carbide, the hydrostatic pressure-porosity curve shifted to the right with increasing particle size, the change in bulk modulus increased with increasing particle size, and no clear particle size-dependent trends were observed when looking at the transmission ratio during the experiment. Post-experiment scanning electron microscopy revealed that alumina powder fragmented from elongated shapes to block-like structures, while boron carbide powder appeared more circular before the experiments and fragmented into smaller comminuted pieces. This paper discusses the implication of the work in the context of the limited experimental data in the field and the modeling of granular advanced ceramics behavior.

description: A generic fiber positioning strategy and a fabrication path are presented for microlens-fiber-coupled integral field units. It is assumed that microlens-produced micro-images are carried to the spectrograph input through step-index,multi-mode fiber, but our results apply to micro-pupil reimaging applications as well. Considered are the performance trades between the filling percentage of the fiber core with the micro-image versus throughput and observing efficiency.A merit function is defined as the product of the transmission efficiency and the etendue loss. For a hexagonal packing of spatial elements, the merit function has been found to be maximized to 94% of an ideal fiber IFU merit value (which has zero transmission loss and does not increase the etendue) with a microlens-fiber alignment (centering) tolerance of 1 um RMS. The maximum acceptable relative tilt between the fiber and the microlens face has been analyzed through optical modeling and found to be 0.3 degree RMS for input f-ratio slower than f/3.5 but it is much more relaxed for faster beams. Several options of fabricating fiber holders have been compared to identify cost-effective solutions that deliver the desired fiber positioning accuracy. Femto-second laser-drilling methods deliver holes arrayed on plates with a position and diameter accuracy of 1.5 um RMS, and with an aspect ratio of 1:10. A commercial vendor produces plates with thickness of 5 mm, but with similar (1 um RMS) positioning accuracy. Both of these techniques are found to be moderately expensive. A purely photo-lithographic technique performed at WCAM (a facility at the University of Wisconsin, Madison), in tandem with deep reactive ion etching, has been used to produce a repeatable recipe with 100% yield. Photo-lithography is more precise (0.5 um RMS) in terms of hole positioning and similar diameter accuracy (1 um RMS).
