description: What level of ambiguity tolerance (AT) is ideal for foreign language (FL) reading success? To answer this question, it is essential to look into the relationship between one’s AT level and FL performance, including reading performance. It is challenging, however, to measure one’s FL reading, as it occurs in one’s mind. Traditionally, to measure input processes, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) has been used, but this technology is both inaccessible and invasive. The field of psychology might provide ways of indirectly measuring input; not only is AT connected with language learning, but it is also highly related to a language learner’s personality, emotions, and social acts (Cohrssen & Covello, 1999; Kaplan & Garrick, 1981), making psychology a fruitful area to extend into. Accordingly, this literature review will incorporate study findings and interpretations from the field of psychology to understand more clearly the extent of the influence of AT in FL reading comprehension (i.e., the input stage). Additionally, throughout this review, the validity and limitations of existing AT assessments will be pointed out. In the end, recommendations will be offered for how to evaluate the relationship between AT and FL reading more accurately.

description: Input-output analysis has been used extensively to identify the interrelationships in local, state, regional and national economies. One type of economic activity that is prevalent in several states in the Northeast has not typically been included in regional input-output models : that carried on at administrative offices and auxiliary establishments. This paper appraises the need for a sector representing administration and auxiliary activities in regional I -o models in the Northeast and provides a method for estimating a direct requirements column for such a sector from secondary data. The method proposed is used to estimate the direct requirements column for this sector in an input-output model for Delaware. The importance of including administration and auxiliary activities in an input-output model used for impact analysis is demonstrated.

description: We present for the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636$-$53, and for the first time for any source of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs), the two-dimensional behaviour of the fractional rms amplitude of the kHz QPOs in the parameter space defined by QPO frequency and photon energy. We find that the rms amplitude of the lower kHz QPO increases with energy up to $\sim12$ keV and then decreases at higher energies, while the rms amplitude of the upper kHz QPO either continues increasing or levels off at high energies. The rms amplitude of the lower kHz QPO increases and then decreases with frequency, peaking at $\sim 760$ Hz, while the amplitude of the upper kHz QPO decreases with frequency, with a local maximum at around $\sim 770$ Hz, and is consistent with becoming zero at the same QPO frequency, $\sim1400$ Hz, in all energy bands, thus constraining the neutron-star mass at $M_{NS} \leq 1.6 M_{\odot}$, under the assumption that this QPO reflects the Keplerian frequency at the inner edge of the accretion disc. We show that the slope of the rms energy spectrum is connected to the changing properties of the kHz QPOs in different energy bands as its frequencies change. Finally, we discuss a possible mechanism responsible for the radiative properties of the kHz QPOs and, based on a model in which the QPO arises from oscillations in a Comptonising cloud of hot electrons, we show that the properties of the kHz QPOs can constrain the thermodynamic properties of the inner accretion flow.

description: We introduce a random matrix model with the symmetries of QCD at finite temperature and chemical potentials for baryon number and isospin. We analyze the phase diagram of this model in the chemical potential plane for different temperatures and quark masses. We find a rich phase structure with five different phases separated by both first and second order lines. The phases are characterized by the pion condensate and the chiral condensate for each of the flavors. In agreement with lattice simulations, we find that in the phase with zero pion condensate the critical temperature depends in the same way on the baryon number chemical potential and on the isospin chemical potential. At nonzero quark mass, we remarkably find that the critical end point at nonzero temperature and baryon chemical potential is split in two by an arbitrarily small isospin chemical potential. As a consequence, there are two crossovers that separate the hadronic phase from the quark-gluon plasma phase at high temperature. Detailed analytical results are obtained at zero temperature and in the chiral limit.

description: This paper aims to evaluate the design and the results of the achievement test administered to an advanced class in the CLP. Prior to the test design, we consul relevant literature to create and modify the models of grammatical knowledge and writing ability. The test design is based on Purpura’s (2016) meaning-oriented model of L2 proficiency. After test results are collected via Qualtrics, SPSS is used to explore not only the nature of grammatical knowledge, writing ability, and the relationship between grammatical knowledge and writing ability but also the relationship between the test takers’ length of stay in the United States and their performance on each section of the test. Further interpretations of statistical results are made to reflect on test results. This paper concludes with the summary of the test results and discusses whether the tasks used to operationalize the contrasts successfully measure test takers’ abilities.

description: A modified version of shift-share analysis is used to examine spatial, temporal and compositional trends in employment growth in the Northeastern United States during the 1970s. The analysis is presented for subregions, states and metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties. Secondary data compiled by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis is used. Employment growth in the Northeast, though positive overall, did not keep pace with that of the nation. While the distribution of employment among industries was very similar in the Northeast and the United States, the performance of these industries was not. The sane was true for the three major subregions that comprise the Northeast. Nonmetropolitan counties outperformed their metropolitan counterparts in employment growth during the decade, with the most rural county types shewing the greatest percentage employment growth.

description: Light states composed of multiple entangled photons - such as cluster states - are essential for developing and scaling-up quantum computing networks. Photonic cluster states with discrete variables can be obtained from single-photon sources and entangling gates, but so far this has only been done with probabilistic sources constrained to intrinsically-low efficiencies, and an increasing hardware overhead. Here, we report the resource-efficient generation of polarization-encoded, individually-addressable, photons in linear cluster states occupying a single spatial mode. We employ a single entangling-gate in a fiber loop configuration to sequentially entangle an ever-growing stream of photons originating from the currently most efficient single-photon source technology - a semiconductor quantum dot. With this apparatus, we demonstrate the generation of linear cluster states up to four photons in a single-mode fiber. The reported architecture can be programmed to generate linear-cluster states of any number of photons with record scaling ratios, potentially enabling practical implementation of photonic quantum computing schemes.

description: Among the growing list of confirmed exoplanets, the number of planets identified in dense star clusters remains sparse. Previous analyses have suggested this may be due in part to dynamical interactions that unbind large fractions of planets from their host stars, limiting the survival of planetary systems in clusters. Thus, alternative detection strategies may be necessary to study planets in clusters that may no longer be bound to a host star. Here, we use the cluster Monte Carlo code CMC to explore the evolution of planetary systems in dense star clusters. Depending on a number of initial conditions, we show that $10-50\%$ of primordial planetary systems are broken through dynamical encounters over a cluster's full lifetime, populating clusters with "free-floating" planets. Furthermore, a large number ($30-80\%$) of planets are ejected from their host cluster through strong dynamical encounters and/or tidal loss. Additionally, we show that planets naturally mix with stellar-mass black holes (BHs) in the central regions of their host cluster. As a consequence, up to a few hundreds of planets will be tidally disrupted through close passages of BHs. We show these BH-planet tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur in clusters at a rate of up to $10^{-5}\,\rm{yr}^{-1}$ in a Milky Way-type galaxy. We predict BH-planet TDEs should be detected by upcoming transient surveys such as LSST at a rate of roughly a few events per year. The observed rate of BH-planet TDEs would place new constraints upon the formation and survival of both planetary systems and BHs in dense star clusters. Additionally, depending on various assumptions including the initial number of planets and their orbital properties, we predict that typical globular clusters may contain a few dynamically-formed NS-planet systems at present as well as up to roughly 100 dynamically-formed WD-planet systems.

description: Let G be the fundamental group of the complement of a K(G,1) hyperplane arrangement (such as Artin's pure braid group) or more generally a homologically toroidal group (as defined in the paper). The subgroup of elements in the complex K-theory of BG which arises from complex unitary representations of G is shown to be trivial. In the case of real K-theory, this subgroup is an elementary abelian 2-group, which is characterized completely in terms of the first two Stiefel-Whitney classes of the representation. Furthermore, an orthogonal representation of G gives rise to a trivial bundle if and only if the representation factors through the spinor groups. In addition, quadratic relations in the cohomology algebra of the pure braid groups which correspond precisely to the Jacobi identity for certain choices of Poisson algebras are shown to give the existence of certain homomorphisms from the pure braid group to generalized Heisenberg groups. These cohomology relations correspond to non-trivial Spin representations of the pure braid groups which give rise to trivial bundles.

description: Three measures of agricultural research spillovers considered entail estimates based on (l) level of agricultural research expenditures, (2) marginal products of agricultural research and extension expenditures, and (3) marginal products of agricultural research and extension expenditures weighted by the level of agricultural research expenditures. The methods produce diverse spillovers but results indicate that spillovers generally exceed regional benefits attributable to a region's investment in agricultural research and extension. Also, ratios of spillovers to regional benefits exceed ratios of federal to state expenditures on agricultural research suggesting potential social benefits from additional financial support of agricultural research by the federal government.

description: We argue that, in the presence of time-dependent fluxes and quantum corrections, four-dimensional de Sitter solutions should appear in the type IIB string landscape and not in the swampland. Our construction considers generic choices of local and non-local quantum terms and satisfies the no-go and the swampland criteria, the latter being recently upgraded using the trans-Planckian cosmic censorship. Interestingly, both time-independent Newton constant and moduli stabilization may be achieved in such backgrounds even in the presence of time-dependent fluxes and internal spaces. However, once the time-dependence is switched off, any four-dimensional solution with de Sitter isometries appears to have no simple effective field theory descriptions and is back in the swampland.

description: Dairy product markets have been burdened with excess supplies since late 1979. The principal cause of these surpluses is overly high government price supports. This situation can be traced to a series of policy decisions made in the mid-1970s. The evolution of dairy policy during the last 10 years is examined and the implications of recent policy proposals are explored. The contributions of agricultural economists to the formulation of rational dairy policy is discussed and suggestions for improving their contributions to and influence on policy are made.

description: Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) reach state-of-the-art results in a variety of Natural Language Processing tasks. However, understanding of their internal functioning is still insufficient and unsatisfactory. In order to better understand BERT and other Transformer-based models, we present a layer-wise analysis of BERT's hidden states. Unlike previous research, which mainly focuses on explaining Transformer models by their attention weights, we argue that hidden states contain equally valuable information. Specifically, our analysis focuses on models fine-tuned on the task of Question Answering (QA) as an example of a complex downstream task. We inspect how QA models transform token vectors in order to find the correct answer. To this end, we apply a set of general and QA-specific probing tasks that reveal the information stored in each representation layer. Our qualitative analysis of hidden state visualizations provides additional insights into BERT's reasoning process. Our results show that the transformations within BERT go through phases that are related to traditional pipeline tasks. The system can therefore implicitly incorporate task-specific information into its token representations. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that fine-tuning has little impact on the models' semantic abilities and that prediction errors can be recognized in the vector representations of even early layers.

The stochastic resonance between the attractors of the \textit{noise-sustained dynamics} is investigated theoretically in terms of a two-state approximation. The knowledge of the exact nonequilibrium potential allows us to obtain the output signal-to-noise ratio. Its maximum is predicted in the symmetric case for which both attractors have the same nonequilibrium potential value.

description: Motivated by recent progress on field-induced phase transitions in quasi-one-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets, we study the phase diagram of $S=1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with Ising anisotropic interchain couplings under a longitudinal magnetic field via large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The interchain interactions is shown to enhance longitudinal spin correlations to stabilize an incommensurate longitudinal spin density wave order at low temperatures. With increasing field the ground state changes to a canted antiferromagnetic order until the magnetization fully saturates above a quantum critical point controlled by the $(3+2)$D XY universality. Increasing temperature in the quantum critical regime the system experiences a fascinating dimension crossover to a universal Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. The calculated NMR relaxation rate $1/T_1$ indicates this Luttinger liquid behavior survives a broad field and temperature regime. Our results determine the global phase diagram and quantitative features of quantum criticality of a general model for quasi-one-dimensional spin chain compounds, and thus lay down a concrete ground to the study on these materials.

description: Deep neural networks have been successfully applied in learning the board games Go, chess and shogi without prior knowledge by making use of reinforcement learning. Although starting from zero knowledge has been shown to yield impressive results, it is associated with high computationally costs especially for complex games. With this paper, we present CrazyAra which is a neural network based engine solely trained in supervised manner for the chess variant crazyhouse. Crazyhouse is a game with a higher branching factor than chess and there is only limited data of lower quality available compared to AlphaGo. Therefore, we focus on improving efficiency in multiple aspects while relying on low computational resources. These improvements include modifications in the neural network design and training configuration, the introduction of a data normalization step and a more sample efficient Monte-Carlo tree search which has a lower chance to blunder. After training on 569,537 human games for 1.5 days we achieve a move prediction accuracy of 60.4%. During development, versions of CrazyAra played professional human players. Most notably, CrazyAra achieved a four to one win over 2017 crazyhouse world champion Justin Tan (aka LM Jann Lee) who is more than 400 Elo higher rated compared to the average player in our training set. Furthermore, we test the playing strength of CrazyAra on CPU against all participants of the second Crazyhouse Computer Championships 2017, winning against twelve of the thirteen participants. Finally, for CrazyAraFish we continue training our model on generated engine games. In ten long-time control matches playing Stockfish 10, CrazyAraFish wins three games and draws one out of ten matches.

description: Cyclone Mekunu hit the southern Arabian Peninsula in late May 2018 and brought rainfall amounts that accounted for up to 6 times the mean annual precipitation. Coming from the Arabian Sea, a quite underdocumented region with regard to cyclones, the storm eye crossed the Omani coast approximately 80 km east of the border to Yemen. Using automatic samplers, rainfall samples were collected during the event at three locations along a transect almost parallel to the storm track. The stable isotope analyses show a wide range of δ values, with minimum and maximum values of −17.01‰ δ¹⁸O and −1.77‰ δ¹⁸O and −122.2‰ δ²H and −1.6‰ δ²H. On average, rainfall becomes isotopically lighter with elevation, but rather irregularly. In view of high wind speeds probably precluding a gradual rainout of ascending air masses, a “pseudo elevation effect” seems likely. Our measurements expand the known δ value range of local cyclones by about 6‰ for δ¹⁸O and by nearly 50‰ for δ²H. The isotopic composition of the annual Indian Summer Monsoon shows values of −0.93‰ δ¹⁸O to 2.21‰ δ¹⁸O and −2.1‰ δ²H to 23.7‰ δ²H. Thus, there is a clear difference in the dual isotope signatures of the two precipitation systems in the area. Our findings enable an assessment of the impact of cyclones on the hydro(geo)logical system. For the arid Najd area, we demonstrate that the isotopic signatures of groundwater samples fall between those of cyclone and (paleo)monsoon precipitation, suggesting that several rainfall types may have contributed to replenishment.

We discuss first possible deviations on the Higgs couplings due to heavy particles, in the context of the MSSM and with large extra-dimensions. Then, we present several models where it is possible to induce flavor violating Higgs couplings, and probe them at future hadron colliders through the LFV Higgs decay h-> tau mu or with rare top decays.

description: A moiré pattern occurs when two periodic structures in a system have a slight mismatch period, resulting the coexistence of distinct phases in different large-scale spacial regions of the same system. Two periodic structures can arise from periodic electric and magnetic fields, respectively. We investigated the moiré pattern via a dimerized Kitaev spin chain with a periodic transverse field, which can be mapped onto the system of dimerized spinless fermions with p-wave superconductivity. The exact solution for staggered field demonstrated that the ground state has two distinct phases: (i) Neel magnetic phase for nonzero field, (ii) Spin liquid phase due to the emergence of isolated flat Bogoliubov--de Gennes band for vanishing field. We computed the staggered magnetization and local density of states (\textrm{LDOS}) for the field with a slight difference period to the chain lattice. Numerical simulation demonstrated that such two phases appear alternatively along the chain with a long beat period. Additionally, we proposed a dynamic scheme to detect the Moiré fringes based on the measurement of Loschmidt echo (\textrm{LE}) in the presence of local perturbation.

description: The interior physics of stars is currently not well constrained for early-type stars. This is particularly pertinent for multiple systems as binary interaction becomes more prevalent for more massive stars, which strongly affects their evolution. High-precision photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission offers the opportunity to remedy the dearth of observations of pulsating stars that show evidence of binary interaction, specifically pulsating mass-accreting components of semi-detached Algol-type eclipsing binary (oEA) systems. We present the TESS light curve of the circular eclipsing binary system U Gru (TIC 147201138), which shows evidence for free heat-driven pressure modes and a series of tidally-perturbed pressure modes. We highlight the asteroseismic potential of studying pulsating stars in binary systems, and demonstrate how tidal asteroseismology can be applied to infer the influence of binary interaction on stellar structure.

description: Visually rich documents have been widely used in many scenarios because of their user-friendliness for human readers. However, with the surging number of these documents, it has been far beyond the capacity of humans to manage, extract critical information and mine useful knowledge from these documents efficiently, making it necessary to develop tools to manage and interpret these documents automatically. Typically, a document can contain different types of components, such as Regular Text areas, Tables, and Figures, and these components usually require different processing methods. Since tables are usually used to summarize vital information, and their two dimensions and complex structures make the semantic recognition challenging, this thesis focuses on the semantic recognition task on tables. With the development of Large Language Models (LLMs), applying LLMs to semantic recognition tasks has become a popular choice, as many studies have demonstrated the remarkable capacities of LLMs for semantic recognition tasks. Considering that even though multi-model LLMs can process images directly, their performance on semantic recognition tasks with images containing dense text is still far behind text-only LLMs, this thesis proposes to apply text-only LLMs on semantic recognition task on the table images from visually rich documents. Since the tables from visually rich documents are usually images, this thesis introduces a complete solution to fill the modality gap between table images and text-only LLMs, including Table Detection (TD) and Table Structures Recognition (TSR) models, and further use Table Question Answering (Table-QA) problem as an example of semantic recognition tasks. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on various datasets for models in the TD, TSR and Table-QA, and the experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed solution.

(Figure 5A–D)   Comments
 In the couplet 7 of the key to Arhysosage species proposed by Engel (2000), the females of A. flava are described as having a black or brown labrum; however in this species the labrum is yellow (Figure 5A), as correctly indicated in the description of Moure (1958), and subsequent redescription of Engel (2000). A mostly black or brown labrum in females of Arhysosage is present in A. atronulata, A. bifasciata and A. ochracea.    New distribution record

description: In this note we present pairs of hyperkaehler orbifolds which satisfy two different versions of mirror symmetry. On the one hand, we show that their Hodge numbers (or more precisely, stringy E-polynomials) are equal. On the other hand, we show that they satisfy the prescription of Strominger, Yau, and Zaslow (which in the present case goes back to Bershadsky, Johansen, Sadov and Vafa): that a Calabi-Yau and its mirror should fiber over the same real manifold, with special Lagrangian fibers which are tori dual to each other. Our examples arise as moduli spaces of local systems on a curve with structure group SL(n); the mirror is the corresponding space with structure group PGL(n). The special Lagrangian tori come from an algebraically completely integrable Hamiltonian system: the Hitchin system.

description: In the LHC era the issue of the origin and nature of neutrino mass has attained a new meaning and a renewed importance. The growing success of the Higgs-Weinberg mechanism behind the charged fermion masses paves the way for the question of neutrino mass. We have shown recently how the spontaneous breaking of parity in the context of the minimal Left-Right Symmetric Model allows to probe the origin of neutrino mass in complete analogy with the charged fermions masses in the Standard Model. We revisit here this issue and fill in the gaps left in our previous work. In particular we discuss a number of different mathematical approaches to the problem of disentangling the seesaw mechanism and show how a unique analytical solution emerges. Most important, we give all the possible expressions for the neutrino Dirac mass matrix for general values of light and heavy neutrino mass matrices. In practical terms what is achieved is an untangling of the seesaw mechanism with clear and precise predictions testable at hadron colliders such as LHC.

description: Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 many families experience the threat of the COVID-19. This study aims to explore the lived experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms of COVID-19 Family Survivors. The study employed the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis with ten (10) participants. Based on the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) Most of the participants consulted health professionals for their medications and advised herbal medicines in boosting their immune system. (2) Family survivors had to make adaptations to their daily routines and established stringent health standards in their homes, such as separating the parents' and children's rooms, using disposable utensils, and ensuring that every surface of their homes was clean. (3) They were able to meet their necessities due to the generosity of their neighbors. These people were helped financially by their employers, neighbors, churchmates, and loved ones. Similarly, the government offered a different forum for the COVID-19 Family survivors to receive help and assistance. (4) Despite the hardships they faced, COVID-19 family survivors did not lose hope that they would be cured of COVID-19. These people tried their hardest to maintain their health by eating good meals, sleeping early, obtaining enough sunlight in the morning, and carefully selecting the vitamins they took. (5) Finally, despite the difficult battle against COVID-19, these individuals grew resilient by building their spiritual lives, exercising their faith, and being brave for the sake of their loved ones.
