Designing immersive language learning environments in virtual worlds
Creators: name: Wang, Yi Fei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: During the past decade, there has been increasing attention to second/foreign language teaching and learning in virtual worlds. The purpose of this study was to explore affordances of a 3D virtual world platform designed as an immersive language teaching and learning environment. Focusing on designing virtual worlds as a catalyst for change, three design phases (development of artifact, low fidelity prototyping, and high fidelity prototyping) were detailed and documented in this study. Nineteen students from a pre-service teacher cohort, two technicians and eight language learners from high schools in Vancouver as well as eighty language learners from universities in China were involved in this study; participants were asked to immerse themselves in the virtual language learning environment designed for the study. Participants’ interactions in the virtual world were videotaped and avatar interactions were recorded. Group discussions, observations, suvey questionnaires and the video-stimulated post interaction interviews provided complementary data for understanding affordances of virtual worlds in designing immersive second/foreign language learning curriculum. Analysis of the feasibility study, low fidelity design, and high fidelity design suggested a more robust design for immerisve virtual language learning environments. Three design cycles revealed primary design factors of immersive second/foreign language learning in virtual worlds (embodied avatar, co-presence, and simulation) and their relative significance in the process of learners’ meaning-making and knowledge construction. Findings showed that embodiment through an embodied avatar, community of practice through co-presence, and situated learning through simulation had a greater impact on the immersive virtual learning design. Building on a theoretical framework of embodied mind, situated learning and distributed cognition, this study documented features of learning theories key to language learning curriculum design in virtual worlds. The findings and techniques resulting from this study will help designers and researchers improve second/foreign language curriculum design in virtual worlds. It also prompts designers and researchers to achieve a better understanding of how virtual worlds can be redesigned by rethinking learning theories. The refinement of design-based research stages into low and high fidelity prototyping provides researchers with empirically tested and nuanced understandings of the design process.

description: In this chapter, the authors approach the concept of gender and its relationship to the law from the perspective of 'southern theory'. Working from this standpoint, they will introduce three themes: gendered contestation over land; the gendered politics of hunger; and the social analysis of terror and queer subjectivities. In an important collection of Aboriginal writings in Australia, called Our Land is Our Life, Marcia Langton argues that in the face of colonial violence, women's system of law and older women's ties to place were crucial to community survival. Carter argues that, as such, the duties of Indigenous women as kin-persons, wives, or mothers become incomprehensible under the settler-colonial system without reference to law and legal categories. The combination of a 'southern theory' perspective with an intersectional gender analysis reveals how law shapes land rights; controls access to food for women; and configures terror, especially in the interactions of the Global South with the North.

description: A thread of viscous fluid falling onto a moving surface exhibits a spectacular variety of types of motion as the surface speed and nozzle height are varied. For modest nozzle heights, four clear regimes are observed. For large surface speed, the thread is dragged into a stretched centenary configuration which is confined to a plane. As the surface speed is lowered, this exhibits a supercritical bifurcation to a meandering state. At very low surface speeds, the state resembles the usual coiling motion of a viscous thread falling on a stationary surface. In between the meandering and coiling regimes, a window containing a novel multifrequency state, previously called "figures of eight" is found. Using an improved visualization technique and a fully automated apparatus, we made detailed measurements of the longitudinal and transverse motion of the thread in all these states. We found that the multifrequency state is characterized by a complex pattern of motion whose main frequencies are locked in a 3:2 ratio. This state appears and disappears with finite amplitude at sharp bifurcations without measurable hysteresis.

Im Fokus steht daher die unternehmerische Perspektive der agilen Strategieentwicklung und die Notwendigkeit, nicht nur alltägliche operative Entscheidungen, sondern auch langfristige strategische Entscheidungen zu überdenken. Darüber hinaus hat die fortschreitende VUCA-Welt zwangsläufig Auswirkungen auf die Strategieentwicklung, da die meisten Organisationen nur selten auf eine VUCA-Welt vorbereitet sind. In diesem Zusammenhang setzt die agile Strategieentwicklung wichtige Impulse. Agile Strategieprozesse und agile Methoden unterstützen den Einsatz der agilen Strategieentwicklung. Von einer methodischen Perspektive aus betrachtet, ist SWOT3 ein wirksames Instrument, um mit Herausforderungen in der VUCA -Welt umzugehen und gleichzeitig die Anforderungen der agilen Strategie zu erfüllen.

description: Given the public officials’ importance in public sector digitalization, e-government- competence education must be designed in accordance with their individual needs. Only by fostering e-government-competences, or short, e-competences, can they actively participate in the transformative process. Although the importance of e-competences is evident, the landscape of education and continuous education offers does not address the diversity of requirements of the public sector’s workforce. Therefore, enabling public administrations to provide their workforce with appropriate continuous education is imperative. The present study sheds light on the parameters public officials apply to assess the appropriateness of a given continuous education offer for their individual situation. To achieve these insights, we conducted an in-depth interview study with a subsequent qualitative content analysis, utilizing eleven semi-structured interviews with members of the German public sector. Upon the interview results, we discovered the parameters and constructed an Entity-Relationship-Model reflecting them for future use in continuous education systems.

description: We used the uploaded interview guide as the foundation for our semi-structured interviews with industry experts in various industries such as technology, manufacturing, e-commerce, and logistics. The results of the interviews are described in our paper "From Full-fledged ERP Systems Towards Process-centric Business Process Platforms". Abstract Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are critical to the success of enterprises, facilitating business operations through standardized digital processes. However, existing ERP systems are unsuitable for startups and small and medium-sized enterprises that grow quickly and require adaptable solutions with low barriers to entry. Drawing upon 15 explorative interviews with industry experts, we examine the challenges of current ERP systems using the task technology fit theory across companies of varying sizes. We describe high entry barriers, high costs of implementing implicit processes, and insufficient interoperability of already employed tools. We present a vision of a future business process platform based on three enablers: Business processes as first-class entities, semantic data and processes, and cloud-native elasticity and high availability. We discuss how these enablers address current ERP systems’ challenges and how they may be used for research on the next generation of business software for tomorrow’s enterprises.

description: We implemented a novel technique to perform the collective spectral analysis of sets of multiple gamma-ray point sources using the data collected by the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi satellite. The energy spectra of the sources are reconstructed starting from the photon counts and without assuming any spectral model for both the sources and the background. In case of faint sources, upper limits on their fluxes are evaluated with a Bayesian approach. This analysis technique is very useful when several sources with similar spectral features are studied, such as sources of gamma rays from annihilation of dark matter particles. We present the results obtained by applying this analysis to a sample of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and to the Milky Way dark matter halo. The analysis of dwarf spheroidal galaxies yields upper limits on the product of the dark matter pair annihilation cross section and the relative velocity of annihilating particles that are well below those predicted by the canonical thermal relic scenario in a mass range from a few GeV to a few tens of GeV for some annihilation channels.

It is shown that all such modules are tensor products of generalized evaluation modules. We also give an explicit sufficient condition for a Verma module of Vir \otimes A to be reducible. In the case that A is an infinite-dimensional integral domain, this condition is also necessary.

description: We investigate form factors of local operators in the multi-component Quantum Non-linear Schrödinger model, a prototype theory solvable by the so-called nested Bethe Ansatz. We determine the analytic properties of the infinite volume form factors using the coordinate Bethe Ansatz solution and we establish a connection with the finite volume matrix elements. In the two-component models we derive a set of recursion relations for the "magnonic form factors", which are the matrix elements on the nested Bethe Ansatz states. In certain simple cases (involving states with only one spin-impurity) we obtain explicit solutions for the recursion relations.

Es gibt keine Therapie, was zum Teil darauf zurückzuführen ist, dass die präklinischen Ergebnisse nicht auf Patienten übertragen werden können. Darüber hinaus ist die Rolle der verschiedenen Arten von Immunzellen in der Alzheimer Pathologie nicht gut verstanden. In dieser Arbeit wird die Charakterisierung eines neuen htau-KI-Mausmodells beschrieben, das entwickelt wurde, um die präklinische Forschung zu Alzheimer und die Identifizierung von Zielmolekülen für die Therapieentwicklung zu verbessern. Die htau-KI-Mäuse sind lebensfähig und gesund und exprimieren alle 6 Isoformen von menschlichem Tau, mit einem vollständigen Knock-out von Maus-Tau. Darüber hinaus wurde der Beitrag peripherer Immunzellen zur AD-Pathologie untersucht. Diese Arbeit liefert neue Einblicke in die Alzheimer Pathologie der sowie Instrumente für die weitere Forschung.
description: Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease currently affecting over 40 million people worldwide. No cure is available, partly due to the lack of translation of preclinical results to patients. Additionally, inflammation plays an important role in AD, but the role of different types of immune cells in pathology is not well understood. This thesis describes the characterization of a new htau-KI mouse model, generated to improve preclinical research into AD and target identification for therapy development. The htau-KI mice are viable and healthy and express all 6 isoforms of human tau, with a full knock-out of mouse tau. Furthermore, the contribution of peripheral immune cells to AD pathology was investigated. This thesis provides new insights into AD pathology as well as tools for further research.

description: Hydraulic fracturing is widely used in the modern oil and gas industry for stimulating petroleum reservoirs that have low permeability (<0.1 mD) at original reservoir conditions. Without hydraulic fracturing these reservoirs are impossible to be produced commercially. In recent decades, the number of published papers on hydraulic fracturing has exploded – they span experimental work, modelling work, field work, and data mining. All aim to provide more understanding of hydraulic fracturing and to generate new insights on how to improve operations and petroleum volume produced while minimizing cost and environmental impacts. Despite the work done, rigorous understanding of hydraulic fracturing remains obscure. The research presented here studied hydraulic fracturing from multiple angles. The first part used transparent gelatin blocks to simulate a rock formation and explored hydraulic fracturing under different conditions and the results are compared with a basic model and field data. The second part used both finite element method and lab experiments to test the stress shadow effect during multistage hydraulic fracturing. The third part discussed the behavior of hydraulic fractures extension in naturally fractured reservoirs by physical and numerical simulations. The last part evaluated a dilation and unloading model which is used for simulating field hydraulic fracturing operations and make optimizations. The research reveals the following results: 1. Using transparent gelatin to conduct hydraulic fracturing laboratory experiments is feasible, where the whole cracking process at different conditions can be clearly observed and used for analysis. 2. Stress shadow effect impacts in multistage hydraulic fracturing and sets a length scale for the optimal spacing. 3. Pre-existing fractures have obvious influences on the extensions of the main hydraulic fractures. 4. Dilation-unloading fracture model is useful and efficient in numerically simulating field hydraulic fracturing operations, especially when the fracture geometry is unknown.

Our aim is to generalize this notion in the following way: The k-fold Borsuk number of such a set S is the smallest value of m such that there is a k-fold cover of S with m sets of diameters less than d. In this paper we characterize the k-fold Borsuk numbers of sets in the Euclidean plane, give bounds for those of centrally symmetric sets, smooth bodies and convex bodies of constant width, and examine them for finite point sets in the Euclidean 3-space.

Bandit-based Delay-Aware Service Function Chain Orchestration at the Edge

Subjects: subject: Mobile-edge computing, service function chain placement, online learning
subject: Computer Science

description: Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) enables both cloud computing and edge computing for mobile users, providing them with intensive computing resources and proximity to the data sources. When combined with network function virtualization (NFV), MEC provides users with promising end-to-end latency and management for mobile applications that requires multiple computing resources. Such applications are often handled in a fashion of service function chain (SFC), which designates a sequence of virtual network functions (VNF) for users’ traffic to traverse in order to realize their network application. In order to provide the user a tolerated perceived latency for a SFC-based application, many existing works have taken aim at optimal system-wide placement for SFC in heterogeneous scenarios yet fewer works have studied user-managed placement. In this paper, we formulate the user-managed SFC placement in MEC as a contextual combinatorial multi-arm bandit (C2MAB) problem and proposed BandEdge, a bandit-based algorithm for online SFC placement on edge, which consider user’s mobility and service preference while jointly optimizing their perceived latency and service migration delay, and then propose an offline exact approach for the role of performance benchmark. To fit the SFC placement problem in a bandit framework, we model the nodes and links to be arms by viewing them as delays and selects them according to a strategy that balances exploration and exploitation. Finally, we evaluate the proposed algorithm in extensive simulation and Mininet-WiFi emulation experiments, numeric simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve close-to-optimum performance and outperform the greedy learning algorithms by at least 50 percent in terms of scalability. We further validate the superior performance of our proposed method in Mininet-WiFi emulation under different environmental parameters.

description: By combining multiple clauses into one single sentence, a text generation system can express the same amount of information in fewer words and at the same time, produce a great variety of complex constructions. In this paper, we describe hypotactic and paratactic operators for generating complex sentences from clause-sized semantic representations. These two types of operators are portable and reusable because they are based on general resources such as the lexicon and the grammar.

description: We utilize spectroscopically derived model atmosphere parameters and the \ion{Li}{1} $\lambda6104$ subordinate line and the $\lambda6708$ doublet to derive lithium abundances for 12 members of the Upper-Centaurus Lupus (UCL) and Lower-Centaurus Crux (LCC) subgroups of the Scorpius Centaurus OB Association. The results indicate any intrinsic Li scatter in our 0.9-1.4 $M_{\odot}$ stars is limited to ${\sim}0.15$ dex, consistent with the lack of dispersion in ${\ge}1.0$ $M_{\odot}$ stars in the 100 Myr Pleiades and 30-50 Myr IC 2391 and 2602 clusters. Both ab initio uncertainty estimates and the derived abundances themselves indicate that the $λ$6104 line yields abundances with equivalent or less scatter than is found from the $λ$6708 doublet as a result of lower uncertainties for the subordinate feature, a result of low sensitivity to broadening in the subordinate feature. Because NLTE corrections are less susceptible to changes in surface gravity and/or metallicity for the 6104 Å line, the subordinate Li feature is preferred for deriving lithium abundances in young Li-rich stellar association stars with $T_{\rm eff}{\ge}5200$ K.

description: The people of Southern Africa experienced the First World War as a continuation of late 19th century European imperialism. The war did not introduce new historical trends as much as it extended and exacerbated imperialism’s ill effects. In the region itself, there was only one significant military campaign: the South African invasion of German South-West Africa. However, the people of Southern Africa were voluntarily and coercively recruited for military and labor service in East Africa, France, and the Middle East. The recruits sustained heavy losses on these fronts, though this did little to change their status in Southern Africa.

description: The American debate over neutrality ended when Woodrow Wilson decided in April 1917 that German aggression on the high seas threatened US national security. From 1917-18 the Wilson administration vastly expanded the power of the federal government by conscripting an army, controlling raw materials, and enforcing anti-sedition laws. War-induced social changes included women’s suffrage, internal migrations, and an energized civil rights movement. Fighting in Europe for the first time, the American army made a decisive contribution to the final battles of 1918. Americans went to war to stop German aggression and spread democratic values but ultimately remained reluctant to assume a major role maintaining peace in postwar Europe.

description: Knowledge about digitization in the public administration is complex and scattered. Information about legal regulations, methods, processes, APIs, metadata and data standards, registers, and terminologies are spread across different platforms. Hence, it is difficult for employees, developers, and decision makers to figure out what data standards, formats, and APIs are relevant for the digitization of a specific public service. Training administrative employees and IT companies requires to gather and link the required knowledge first in a well-structured and accessible manner. We address this need for more shared and transparent knowledge in the digitization of public services in Germany. We propose a first version of an ontology (GerPS-onto) for public administration instantiated by one example german public service. We utilize semantic modelling and Linked Data technologies to enable appropriate data and process descriptions that are readable for humans and machines. We also demonstrate how an existing process description of a public service can be linked to existing terminologies and evaluate the resulting ontology using domain-specific competency questions that are translated to SPARQL queries.
The Hawaii Infrared Parallax Program. I. Ultracool Binaries and the L/T Transition

description: We present the first results from our high-precision infrared (IR) astrometry program at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. We measure parallaxes for 83 ultracool dwarfs (spectral types M6--T9) in 49 systems, with a median uncertainty of 1.1 mas (2.3%) and as good as 0.7 mas (0.8%). We provide the first parallaxes for 48 objects in 29 systems, and for another 27 objects in 17 systems, we significantly improve upon published results, with a median (best) improvement of 1.7x (5x). Three systems show astrometric perturbations indicative of orbital motion; two are known binaries (2MASSJ0518-2828AB and 2MASSJ1404-3159AB) and one is spectrally peculiar (SDSSJ0805+4812). In addition, we present here a large set of Keck adaptive optics imaging that more than triples the number of binaries with L6--T5 components that have both multi-band photometry and distances. Our data enable an unprecedented look at the photometric properties of brown dwarfs as they cool through the L/T transition. Going from \approxL8 to \approxT4.5, flux in the Y and J bands increases by \approx0.7 mag and \approx0.5 mag, respectively (the Y- and J-band "bumps"), while flux in the H, K, and L' bands declines monotonically. This wavelength dependence is consistent with cloud clearing over a narrow range of temperature, since condensate opacity is expected to dominate at 1.0--1.3 micron. Interestingly, despite more than doubling the near-IR census of L/T transition objects, we find a conspicuous paucity of objects on the color--magnitude diagram just blueward of the late-L/early-T sequence. This "L/T gap" occurs at MKO(J-H) = 0.1--0.3 mag, MKO(J-K) = 0.0--0.4 mag, and implies that the last phases of cloud evolution occur rapidly. Finally, we provide a comprehensive update to the absolute magnitudes of ultracool dwarfs as a function of spectral type using a combined sample of 314 objects.
description: Accepted to ApJ. New arXiv posting includes 4 new parallaxes and an overall improvement in precision of 1.3x thanks to additional CFHT astrometry for many targets. All data compiled in this paper (and more) are available online: http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/~tdupuy/plx

description: Propaganda played an important part in the politics of the war, but was only successful as part of wider political and military strategies. For each belligerent, the most effective and important forms of propaganda were aimed at its own domestic population and based on consensus. As part of this, the Allies largely managed relations with their own newspapers and other media by negotiated agreement, backed by coercive powers that were seldom used. Germany had a more coercive and directive approach to propaganda and the media, eventually dominated by its military. Post-war views of wartime propaganda misunderstood the reasons for Allied propaganda success.

title: Quasi-3D Quench Simulation for Superconducting Accelerator Magnets
Creators: name: D'Angelo, Laura Anna Maria
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED

description: Numerical field simulations play a crucial role in understanding and predicting quench phenomena in superconducting accelerator magnets. However, they impose a geometrical as well as physical multi-scale problem. The model of accelerator magnets, which are several meters long, has to resolve geometrical details in the order of micro- to millimeters. A quench propagates over several geometrical orders of magnitude in a very short time, massively affecting the properties of the superconducting material in the process. A full three-dimensional finite element simulation with sufficient accuracy of the nonlinear magneto-thermal quench behavior is far beyond reach. This dissertation presents an alternative approach to the calculation and analysis of three-dimensional effects arising in quench scenarios. To this end, a two-dimensional finite element method on the transversal magnetic cross-section is combined with a one-dimensional spectral element method based on orthogonal polynomials in the longitudinal direction. The result is a quasi-three-dimensional method with hybrid shape functions. This method is formulated, implemented in an object-oriented program structure, and verified by convergence studies and reference simulations. For the application of the method to quench simulations, this quasi-three-dimensional framework is extended by dedicated quench state and end winding models as well as field-network coupling, relevant boundary conditions, and efficient nonlinear iteration procedures. Finally, this quasi-three-dimensional simulation approach is applied to the nonlinear magneto-thermal strongly coupled quench simulation of superconducting cables and coils. Comparisons with conventional three-dimensional finite element solvers show that the presented numerical method yields more accurate results while requiring much less computational effort. Thus, the developed quasi-three-dimensional simulation method is a valuable tool to analyze quenching scenarios in superconducting accelerator magnets.

Fig. 36
 Ennea perissodonta: Sturany 1898: 1898: 26, pl. 1, fig. 18 (Delagoa Bay, Mozambique; 4.2× 2.1 mm).
 Found at one station on Cabo Delgado. Two shells (2.7× 1.4 mm) were collected by van Hoepen (van Bruggen 2006: 124) on Ilha Vumba only 49 km south of station 7 on Cabo Delgado. Prior to that, perissodonta was known only from south-eastern Mozambique, Swaziland and north-eastern KwaZulu-Natal where it is quite common. The type, described from the area near Maputo, is larger than illustrated here, but the shells from northern KwaZulu-Natal vary from 3.2×1.7 to 6.2× 2.5 mm (van Bruggen 1969: 47).

description: Aggregating different pieces of similar information is necessary to generate concise and easy to understand reports in technical domains. This paper presents a general algorithm that combines similar messages in order to generate one or more coherent sentences for them. The process is not as trivial as might be expected. Problems encountered are briefly described.
Disambiguating Verbs with the WordNet Category of the Direct Object

description: In this paper, I demonstrate that verbs can be disambiguated according to aspect by rules that examine the WordNet category of the direct object. First, when evaluated over a corpus of medical reports, I show that WordNet categories correlate with aspectual class. Then, I develop a rule for distinguishing between stative and event occurrences of have by the WordNet category of the direct object. This rule, which is motivated by both linguistic and statistical analysis, is evaluated over an unrestricted set of nouns. I also show that WordNet categories improve a system that performs aspectual classification with linguistically-based numerical indicators.
