description: Η πόλη σήμερα, περισσότερο από ποτέ είναι ό,τι πολυτιμότερο έχουμε.  Στις ιστορικές πόλεις, ιστορία και μνήμες είναι άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένα με το σύγχρονο αστικό τοπίο. Όμως, το τουριστικό φαινόμενο ολοένα και αυξάνεται σε σημείο τέτοιο που τα ιστορικά κέντρα βρίσκονται σε σύγχυση. Η αλλοίωση των χαρακτηριστικών της πόλης και της ταυτότητάς της, οδηγεί αναπόφευκτα άλλοτε στη μουσειοποίηση ενός τοπίου σταθερού και παγωμένου, άλλοτε στη πλήρη εμπορευματοποίηση.
  Η παρούσα εργασία πραγματεύεται τη μετατροπή της πόλης και την μετατόπισή της από ιστορικό χώρο σε τόπο εμπορίου και εκμετάλλευσης στο διάστημα μεταξύ  20ου και 21ου αιώνα, όπου ο μαζικός τουρισμός βρίσκεται σε κορύφωση. Αναδεικνύοντας τους μετασχηματισμούς, τις παθογένειες, τις αντίθετες αναγνώσεις και ερμηνείες της σύγχρονης ιστορικής πόλης, η εργασία ανατρέχει σε έννοιες που σήμερα έχουν ξεχαστεί, όπως η κληρονομιά και η ταυτότητα, οι οποίες ενισχύουν τη διατήρηση της ιστορικότητας με σκοπό το συσχετισμό της ιστορικής και σύγχρονης πόλης. Με βάση τα παραπάνω, η εργασία εστιάζει στην πόλη των Χανίων ως μία μεταλλασσόμενη πόλη που ημέρα με την ημέρα αλλάζει μορφή λόγω της έντονης ανάπτυξης του τουρισμού.
description: The city today, more than ever, is the most precious thing we have.1 In historic cities, history and memories are inextricably linked to the modern urban landscape. But the tourist phenomenon is increasing to such an extent that the historical centers are in confusion. The alteration of its characteristics and its identity inevitably leads sometimes to the museumization of a fixed and frozen landscape, sometimes to complete commercialization.
   This paper deals with the transformation of the city and its shift from a historical place to a place of trade and exploitation during the 20th and 21st centuries, where mass tourism is at the top. Highlighting the transformations, the pathogenesis, the contrasting readings and interpretations of the contemporary historic city, the paper looks back on concepts that are now forgotten, such as heritage and identity, which reinforce the preservation of historicity in order to relate the historical and contemporary city. Based on the above, the study focuses on the city of Chania as a mutating city that changes form day by day due to the intense development of tourism.
The impact of plasma concentrations of progesterone during superovulation on estrous behaviour, and ovarian and early embryonic development in Holstein heifers
Creators: name: Dos Santos Marques, Jessica Cristina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Greater progesterone (P4) levels prior to and post estrus in lactating dairy cows has been associated with improved fertility and greater intensity of estrous expression measured by automated activity monitors (AAM). Recently, greater intensity of estrous expression has also been associated with greater embryo production and quality in superovulated dairy heifers. However, it is unclear whether P4 causes greater expression of estrus and increased early embryo development in superovulated heifers. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effect of different P4 concentrations in plasma during the follicular growth on the intensity of estrous expression, ovarian response to the superovulatory treatment, and embryo production and quality in superovulated Holstein heifers. In Chapter 1, scientific studies are reviewed to highlight gaps in the literature associated with P4 regulation, intensity of estrous expression and reproductive outcomes in dairy cattle. In Chapter 2, I found that different P4 levels during the follicular growth did not affect the maximum intensity of estrous expression or the duration of estrus in superovulated Holstein heifers. However, high P4 concentrations in plasma during the development of follicles increased embryo quality and reduced the number of embryos produced when compared to low P4 concentrations. Although estrous expression did not relate to the quality of embryos, the duration of estrus and the maximum intensity of estrous expression increased the number of embryos recovered 7 d post artificial insemination. In Chapter 3, study limitations and future directions are summarized. In conclusion, my results suggest that P4 concentrations during the follicular growth, and intensity of estrous expression, are important in regulating the quality of embryos and the number of embryos produced by superovulated heifers.

description: Data-intensive, graph-based computations are pervasive in several scientific applications, and are known to to be quite challenging to implement on distributed memory systems. In this work, we explore the design space of parallel algorithms for Breadth-First Search (BFS), a key subroutine in several graph algorithms. We present two highly-tuned parallel approaches for BFS on large parallel systems: a level-synchronous strategy that relies on a simple vertex-based partitioning of the graph, and a two-dimensional sparse matrix-partitioning-based approach that mitigates parallel communication overhead. For both approaches, we also present hybrid versions with intra-node multithreading. Our novel hybrid two-dimensional algorithm reduces communication times by up to a factor of 3.5, relative to a common vertex based approach. Our experimental study identifies execution regimes in which these approaches will be competitive, and we demonstrate extremely high performance on leading distributed-memory parallel systems. For instance, for a 40,000-core parallel execution on Hopper, an AMD Magny-Cours based system, we achieve a BFS performance rate of 17.8 billion edge visits per second on an undirected graph of 4.3 billion vertices and 68.7 billion edges with skewed degree distribution.
Abnormal spontaneous muscle activity in plegic limb appears to initiate distal to the upper motor neuron: a case report in a stroke patient
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Objective: To study the effect of the cutaneous silent period (CSP) on spontaneous muscle activity occurring after an upper motor injury from stroke, with a goal of developing an insight into the origin of the pathological activity. Methods: A patient with an acute right centrum semiovale ischemic stroke had left hemiparesis. Fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves were recorded in several left arm muscles. CSP silent period studies were performed in both arms. Results: The CSP inhibited the volitional activity in the unaffected right arm. In the plegic left arm, fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves persisted during the time period during which the CSP would have been expected, based upon the right-sided studies. Conclusions: Spontaneous activity after a cerebrovascular accident was resistant to inhibition from CSP. These findings suggest that the localization of the origin of the spontaneous activity is distal to the upper motor neuron. A confirmatory study with more patients and in a variety of stroke subtypes would strengthen this conclusion.
Thermal photon production in Au+Au collisions: viscous corrections in two different hydrodynamic formalisms

description: We calculate the spectra of produced thermal photons in Au+Au collisions taking into account the nonequilibrium contribution to photon production due to finite shear viscosity. The evolution of the fireball is modeled by second-order as well as by divergence-type 2+1 dissipative hydrodynamics, both with an ideal equation of state and with one based on Lattice QCD that includes an analytical crossover. The spectrum calculated in the divergence-type theory is considerably enhanced with respect to the one calculated in the second-order theory, the difference being entirely due to differences in the viscous corrections to photon production. Our results show that the differences in hydrodynamic formalisms are an important source of uncertainty in the extraction of the value of $η/s$ from measured photon spectra. The uncertainty in the value of $η/s$ associated with different hydrodynamic models used to compute thermal photon spectra is larger than the one occurring in matching hadron elliptic flow to RHIC data.

description: Terahertz time-domain imaging targets the reconstruction of the full electromagnetic morphology of an object. In this spectral range, the near-field propagation strongly affects the information in the space-time domain in items with microscopic features. While this often represents a challenge, as the information needs to be disentangled to obtain high image fidelity, here we show that such a phenomenon can enable three-dimensional microscopy. Specifically, we investigate the capability of the time-resolved nonlinear ghost imaging (TNGI) methodology to implement field-sensitive micro-volumetry by plane decomposition. We leverage the temporally-resolved, field-sensitive detection to ‘refocus’ an image plane at an arbitrary distance from the source, which defines the near-field condition, and within a microscopic sample. Since space-time coupling rapidly evolves and diffuses within subwavelength length scales, our technique can separate and discriminate the information originating from different planes at different depths. Our approach is particularly suitable for objects with sparse micrometric details. Building upon this principle, we demonstrate complex, time-domain volumetry resolving internal object planes with sub-wavelength resolution, discussing the range of applicability of our technique.

description: EuAl$_4$ is proposed to host a topological Hall state. This material also undergoes four consecutive antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions upon cooling below TN1 = 15.4 K in the presence of charge density wave (CDW) order that sets in below TCDW = 140 K. We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density-functional-theory calculations to study how magnetic ordering affects the electronic properties in EuAl$_4$. We found changes in the band structure upon each of the four consecutive AFM transitions including band splitting, renormalizations, and appearance of new bands forming additional Fermi sheets. In addition we also found significant enhancement of the quasiparticles' lifetime due to suppression of spin flip scattering, similar to what was previously reported for ferromagnetic EuCd$_2$As$_2$. Surprisingly, we observe that most significant changes in electronic properties occur not at TN1, but instead at the AFM3 to AFM4 transition, which coincides with the largest drop in resistivity.

description: Конфессиональное женское образование имеет ряд специфических особенностей: сословная замкнутость; строгое подчинение епархиальному архиерею, неразделимость учебного и воспитательного процессов. В отечественной историографии изучалась специфика женского образования в пореформенный период, связанная со сломом традиционной патриархальной модели понимания женского образования. В рамках исторической феминологии и гендерных исследований был поставлен вопрос о профессиональной самореализации воспитанниц епархиальных училищ. Цель исследования: во-первых, ввести в научный оборот сведения о деятельности Омского женского епархиального училища в 1906-1917 гг. Во-вторых, выявить специфику женского духовного образования в сибирской провинции. Источниками исследования послужили: делопроизводственные и иные материалы регионального характера, значительный объем которых представлен в фонде Омской духовной консистории, епархиальное периодическое издание «Омские епархиальные ведомости», где публиковались отчеты епархиального наблюдателя и ведомости епархиального училищного Совета. На основании отчетов епархиального наблюдателя о состоянии школ церковно-приходских и грамоты в учебно-воспитательном отношении реконструируется учебно-методический процесс, преподавательский состав и состояние учебно-воспитательной работы. Омское женское епархиальное училище содержалось за счет взносов из епархиальной казны, доходов епархиального свечного завода и частных пожертвований. Учебно-воспитательный процесс был нацелен на получение образования, достаточного для преподавания в начальной школе. В отличие от тенденций к строгому регламентированию церковно-практической реализации в женском образовании, отмечаемому исследователями на примере европейской части, воспитанницы Омского женского епархиального училища несли совсем «не женские» послушания в храме, как, например, возжжение лампад, подача аналоя, вынос свечей на входах и к Евангелию, что обычно является прерогативой алтарников-пономарей. Изменения в преподавательском составе свидетельствуют о постепенном превалировании преподавателей-мужчин и повышении образовательного уровня (остепененности). Теоретическая значимость работы заключается в том, что представленный материал и выводы можно использовать при дальнейшем исследовании истории Омской епархии в XX в., а также при изучении истории духовного образования в периферийных епархиях. Практическая значимость работы заключается в возможности использования ее материалов в учебной работе: при подготовке специализированных курсов по истории Русской православной церкви, а также подготовке статей, докладов, сообщений на научных мероприятиях разного уровня.

description: We propose a scheme for unambiguous state comparison (USC) of two unknown squeezed vacuum states of an electromagnetic field. Our setup is based on linear optical elements and photon-number detectors, and achieves optimal USC in an ideal case of unit quantum efficiency. In realistic conditions, i.e., for non-unit quantum efficiency of photodetectors, we evaluate the probability of getting an ambiguous result as well as the reliability of the scheme, thus showing its robustness in comparison to previous proposals.

description: Wave energy harvesting could be a substantial renewable energy source without impact on the global climate and ecology, yet practical attempts have struggle d with problems of wear and catastrophic failure. An innovative technology for ocean wave energy harvesting was recently proposed, based on the use of soft capacitors. This study presents a realistic theoretical and numerical model for the quantitative characterization of this harvesting method. Parameter regio ns with optimal behavior are found, and novel material descriptors are determined which simplify analysis dramatically. The characteristics of currently ava ilable material are evaluated, and found to merit a very conservative estimate of 10 years for raw material cost recovery.

description: Актуальность исследуемой авторами тематики обусловлена тем, что сегодня к сотруднику уголовно-исполнительной системы предъявляется ряд специфических морально-нравственных требований, а именно: отношение к человеку как к высшей ценности, уважение и защита прав, свобод и человеческого достоинства в соответствии с международными и отечественными правовыми нормами и общечеловеческими принципами морали, толерантное межэтническое взаимодействие и умение вести конструктивный межкультурный диалог. Таким образом, предъявляемые государством и обществом требования к сотруднику уголовно-исполнительной системы обозначили необходимость в формировании у курсантов вузов ФСИН России способности быть толерантным. Цель исследования заключалась в том, чтобы теоретически обосновать и экспериментально проверить предлагаемые условия формирования межэтнической толерантности у курсантов в вузе ФСИН России. Исследование было проведено авторами с помощью следующих методов: анкетирование (анкета разработана авторами) и тестирование (тест для диагностики способности к эмпатии А. Мехрабиана, Н. Эпштейна и тесты «Оценка уровня усвоения» В. П. Беспалько, Ю. Г. Татура в модификации авторов). К основным результатам работы можно отнести реализацию предложенного авторами комплекса педагогических условий по формированию межэтнической толерантности у курсантов и повышение знаний по этнической проблематике, изменение отношения к представителям иных этносов в положительную сторону, уменьшение процента респондентов, испытывающих неприязнь к лицам других национальностей в экспериментальной группе. Сделанные авторами выводы и предложения по совершенствованию образовательного процесса в вузах уголовно-исполнительной системы и возможность дальнейших научных разработок данной темы представляют теоретическую значимость работы. Практическую значимость работы составляет рассмотренный в статье опыт формирования межэтнической толерантности у курсантов на примере Академии ФСИН России, так как при имеющихся схожих условиях он может быть использован образовательными организациями ФСИН России в целях повышения эффективности воспитательной работы среди курсантов.
Feasibility and outcomes of endovascular embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations at a low-volume centre

Year: 2023

description: Background and purpose: Herein, we report our initial experience with the endovascular management of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) using the liquid embolic agent Onyx and n-butyl cyanoacrylate for AVM embolization. Methods: We reviewed data from 15 patients with brain AVMs, who were observed at our endovascular facility from January 2008 to July 2011. All cases were embolized with Onyx and/or n-butyl cyanoacrylate. There were 8 women and 7 men with a mean age of 27.2 years (range 17–43 years). The clinical presentations included intracerebral haemorrhage (n = 7), seizures (n = 4), headache (n = 2), and focal neurological deficits (n = 2); according to the Spetzler–Martin classification (Spetzler R and Martin N (1986)J Neurosurg V65 446–83), 8 AVMs were grades I–II, 5 were grade III, and 2 were grades IV–V. Results: A total of 31 embolization procedures were performed in 15 patients, and 44 feeding pedicles were embolized, ranging from 1 to 5 per patient, with an average size reduction of 70% (median 75%, range 40–100%). Total obliteration was achieved for 3 AVMs (20%) (2 patients had single feeders and 1 patient had double feeders), and a partial embolization was achieved in 12 patients (80%). The procedure was related to a permanent disabling morbidity in one patient (6.6%), and no mortalities occurred. Conclusions: The outcome of (AVM) embolization in our centre is comparable to the reported outcome in other larger-volume centres. The feasibility and safety of AVM embolization in our low-volume centre are similar to the outcomes reported at high-volume centre
Performance of methods for small-sample inference in generalized linear mixed models for stepped-wedge designs with unequal cluster sizes
Creators: name: Xu, Liang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Stepped-wedge cluster randomized trials are characterized by the sequential transition of clusters from control to intervention. Most studies that explored the statistical properties of such trials relied on asymptotic theory and/or assumed equal cluster sizes. In practice, the sample size is often limited, and cluster sizes are subject to variation. The impact of unequal cluster sizes has been studied in the context of parallel-arm cluster randomized trials, but it is unclear whether these results are generalizable to the stepped-wedge trial. Also, statistical performance varies across different allocations when the cluster sizes are unbalanced. We conducted simulations for continuous and binary outcomes to evaluate the performance of various analytical approaches for cross-sectional stepped-wedge trials with limited sample size and unequal cluster sizes. We explored methods commonly used for parallel-arm cluster randomized trials including the Wald test, F-tests with degrees of freedom approximations (Hemming et al. and Satterthwaite), the Kenward-Roger approximation and the bootstrap. Type I error was generally inflated with the Wald test for the continuous outcome while the Kenward-Roger approximation was overly conservative for both binary and continuous outcomes. Bootstrapping and F-tests with degrees of freedom approximations generally helped reduce Type I error inflation. Bias in the treatment effect estimate and its standard error are minimal for continuous outcomes and moderate for binary outcomes with the Wald test. Those metrics are also somewhat correlated with the correlation of treatment and time and the imbalance of treatment. When adjusted for differences in Type I error, the tests were similarly powerful with minimal bias in treatment effect estimates. We provide general recommendations for choosing an analysis approach given the parameter values of the design.

description: In studying the complexity of iterative processes it is usually assumed that the arithmetic operations of addition, multiplication, and division can be performed in certain constant times. This assumption is invalid if the precision required increases as the computation proceeds. We give upper and lower bounds on the number of single-precision operations required to perform various multiple-precision operations, and deduce some interesting consequences concerning the relative efficiencies of methods for solving nonlinear equations using variable-length multiple-precision arithmetic. A postscript describes more recent developments.

description: Parton shower event generators typically approximate evolution of QCD color so that only contributions that are leading in the limit of an infinite number of colors are retained. Our parton shower generator, Deductor, has used an 'LC+' approximation that is better, but still quite limited. In this paper, we introduce a new scheme for color in which the approximations can be systematically improved. That is, one can choose the theoretical accuracy level, but the accuracy level that is practical is limited by the computer resources available.
title: The social production of public space in an informal settlement: a case study of Sitio Pechayan, Metro Manila
Creators: name: Yu, David Paul L.
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Informal settlements have been historically perceived in negative terms which are attributed to gaps in knowledge on informality. As more studies were conducted on informal settlements that focused on its value, this perception of marginality was challenged. The academic community started reconsidering the value of informal settlement in urban studies as an alternative mode of urban development. This thesis aims to contribute to this debate by exploring the production of public spaces in an informal settlement as both a spatial and social process. This research utilizes Lefebvre's social production of space and acts of everyday resistance to understand the relationship between the different actors and their roles. The case study is an urban informal settlement in Metro Manila called Sitio Pechayan. The research adopted a case study approach to document the history and the current state of the different public spaces of the informal settlement. Five key public spaces were the focus of the fieldwork. A total of thirty-two semi-structured interviews were conducted. This thesis makes three key findings. First, public space is continually being socially produced through the everyday activities of the community. Second, the state utilizes informal practices to assert their authority either by granting concessions or through political patronage. Third, the close connection of the residents with the public spaces was fostered by its value to their everyday life and their involvement in its production. These attributes are necessary for residents to feel a sense of ownership for their public space. Finally, the research contributes towards an expanded understanding on the production of public space; one that is underpinned by social and power relations. By framing the informal production of space as a social process, this research provides a comprehensive insight into informal settlements and its public space. It also brings into question of what informality really mean to urban studies.

description: В условиях информационного общества, сложности, вызова неопределенности, неоднозначности современного мира модернизации требуют и дидактические основы. Как сохранить мотивацию, желание учиться у «цифрового поколения» - школьников, живущих наполовину в реальном, наполовину в виртуальном мире социальных сетей, Интернета и гаджетов? Длительное время существовавший ранее когнитивный (знаниевый) подход не позволяет ученику, главному участнику образовательного процесса, наполнить личным смыслом те знания, которые он получал в процессе обучения. Чтобы деятельность ученика была успешной, необходимо развивать смысловую сферу обучающихся, наполняя знания личностным смыслом, выводя учебный процесс на личностно-смысловой уровень. Цель исследования - выявление возможностей интеграции цифродидактики и смыслодидактики, рассмотрение смыслообразования как компонента развития цифровых компетенций подростков. В статье анализируется смыслодидактический подход в организации учебного процесса. Перед педагогом стоит важная задача: развивая смысловую сферу обучающихся, помочь им достичь того самого «моего смысла». Новизна данного исследования: определены дидактические возможности смыслоинициирующей цифровой среды. Автор рассматривает понятие «смыслоинициирующая цифровая среда» как фактор, инициирующий смыслообразование обучающих. Проведенный теоретический анализ исследований по теме позволил выделить дидактические возможности инициирования смыслообразования обучающихся в цифровом образовательном пространстве. Автор предлагает при сохранении дидактических основ учебного процесса интегрировать смыслообразующие технологии в цифровую образовательную среду. В статье приводится авторская смыслоинициирующая цифровая модель организации учебного процесса, а смыслообразование рассматривается как компонент развития цифровых компетенций подростков. Данное исследование открывает возможности для продолжения исследований развития смысловой сферы обучающихся. Приведенная автором трактовка возможностей интеграции цифродидактики и смыслодидактики может быть рекомендована широкому кругу педагогов для использования в работе.

description: We use numerical simulations to understand how random deviations from the ideal spherical shape affect the ability of hard particles to form fcc crystalline structures. Using a system of hard spheres as a reference, we determine the fluid-solid coexistence pressures of both shape-polydisperse and monodisperse systems of aspherical hard particles. We find that when particles are sufficiently isotropic, the coexistence pressure can be predicted from a linear relation involving the product of two simple geometric parameters characterizing the asphericity of the particles. Finally, our results allow us to gain direct insight into the crystallizability limits of these systems by rationalizing empirical data obtained for analogous monodisperse systems.

description: In the first part of this note we argue that ten dimensional consistency requirements in the form of a certain tadpole cancellation condition can be satisfied by KKLT type vacua of type IIB string theory. We explain that a new term of non-local nature is generated dynamically once supersymmetry is broken and ensures cancellation of the tadpole. It can be interpreted as the stress caused by the restoring force that the stabilization mechanism exerts on the volume modulus. In the second part, we explain that it is surprisingly difficult to engineer sufficiently long warped throats to prevent decompactification which are also small enough in size to fit into the bulk Calabi-Yau (CY). We give arguments that achieving this with reasonable amount of control may not be possible in generic CY compactifications while CYs with very non-generic geometrical properties might evade our conclusion.

description: Русский язык - это национальный язык русского народа и средство межнационального общения. Воспитание уважения к родному языку, формирование норм русского языка, овладение родным языком как основным средством общения - приоритетные направления начального языкового образования. Поэтому одной из задач обучения русскому языку в начальной школе является развитие устной и письменной речи, оформленной по стилистическим, грамматическим, пунктуационным, орфографическим и орфоэпическим нормам. Процессы овладения орфоэпическими нормами и формирования разных видов коммуникативных универсальных учебных действий активно происходят в младшем школьном возрасте. Авторы исследуют специфику формирования коммуникативных универсальных учебных действий младших школьников в условиях малого города в процессе выполнения орфоэпических упражнений. Целью исследования является разработка и теоретическое обоснование комплекса орфоэпических упражнений, обеспечивающих эффективное формирование коммуникативных универсальных учебных действий младших школьников, проживающих в условиях малого города. Методология основывается на системно-деятельностном, личностно ориентированном подходах. Современное языковое образование в Российской Федерации предполагает системное развитие ученика как субъекта познавательной деятельности, активного участника образовательного процесса, готового строить активную и грамотную речевую коммуникацию со сверстниками и взрослым. Этому способствует реализация совокупности вышеназванных методологических подходов. Эффективность подходов подтверждена педагогическим экспериментом. Проведенное исследование позволило проверить эффективность применения орфоэпических упражнений, обеспечивающих формирование коммуникативных универсальных учебных действий младших школьников на уроках русского языка. Теоретические положения исследования могут стать предметом дискуссионного обсуждения, обмена опытом на круглых столах, семинарах, конференциях преподавателей, методистов, учителей русского языка и литературы; стать методической темой образовательной организации. Практические положения могут явиться основой для разработки дидактических средств обучения русскому языку: сборников орфоэпических диктантов, минуток чистописания, материалов для словарно-орфографической работы, настольно-печатных и электронных игр.

description: Связная речь представляет собой сложную форму речевой деятельности, которая носит характер последовательного, систематического, развернутого изложения. У старших дошкольников с ОНР связная речь самостоятельно не формируется. Между тем овладение связной речью - одна из актуальных проблем речевого развития ребенка. Поэтому ключевой целью общего комплекса коррекционно-развивающей работы с детьми с ОНР становится формирование и развитие связной речи, что является необходимым условием для их успешного обучения в школе. По результатам теоретического анализа можно сказать, что методика формирования связной речи Т. А. Ткаченко имеет большие возможности в развитии связной речи старших дошкольников с общим недоразвитием речи III уровня.

Hall and spin Hall viscosity ratio in 2d topological insulators

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study responses to metric perturbation in topological insulator models. In this paper we introduce a novel quantity, Hall viscosity to particle density ratio, which is analogous to the viscosity to entropy ratio suggested by AdS/CFT correspondence. This quantity corresponds to the filling fraction which characterizes the quantum Hall states, and hence it could be discussed in Haldane's zero-field quantum Hall system. We also consider dissipationless viscosity in the time reversal invariant quantum spin Hall system, which is related to a spin current.

description: Посттравматические стрессовые расстройства, возникающие у военнослужащих после травматических событий, значительно влияют не только на эффективность их профессиональной деятельности, но и на их психическое здоровье и на возникновение различных деформаций их личности. Поэтому в настоящее время огромное значение приобретает исследование особенностей взаимосвязи чувства вины и посттравматического стрессового расстройства у военнослужащих. Цель статьи - определение взаимосвязи чувства вины и посттравматического стрессового расстройства у военнослужащих. В ходе эмпирического исследования выявлено, что выраженность показателей посттравматических стрессовых расстройств военнослужащих зависит от интенсивности переживания ими чувства вины.
Anisotropic photoconductivity in graphene

description: We investigate the photoconductivity of graphene within the relaxation time approximation. In presence of the inter-band transitions induced by the linearly polarized light the photoconductivity turns out to be highly anisotropic due to the pseudospin selection rule for Dirac-like carriers. The effect can be observed in clean undoped graphene samples and be utilized for light polarization detection.

Backward Reachability of Array-based Systems by SMT solving: Termination and Invariant Synthesis

description: The safety of infinite state systems can be checked by a backward reachability procedure. For certain classes of systems, it is possible to prove the termination of the procedure and hence conclude the decidability of the safety problem. Although backward reachability is property-directed, it can unnecessarily explore (large) portions of the state space of a system which are not required to verify the safety property under consideration. To avoid this, invariants can be used to dramatically prune the search space. Indeed, the problem is to guess such appropriate invariants. In this paper, we present a fully declarative and symbolic approach to the mechanization of backward reachability of infinite state systems manipulating arrays by Satisfiability Modulo Theories solving. Theories are used to specify the topology and the data manipulated by the system. We identify sufficient conditions on the theories to ensure the termination of backward reachability and we show the completeness of a method for invariant synthesis (obtained as the dual of backward reachability), again, under suitable hypotheses on the theories. We also present a pragmatic approach to interleave invariant synthesis and backward reachability so that a fix-point for the set of backward reachable states is more easily obtained. Finally, we discuss heuristics that allow us to derive an implementation of the techniques in the model checker MCMT, showing remarkable speed-ups on a significant set of safety problems extracted from a variety of sources.

description: Motivated by a recent experiment on volborthite, a typical spin-$1/2$ antiferromagnet with a kagomé lattice structure, we study the magnetization process of a classical Heisenberg model on a spatially distorted kagomé lattice using the Monte Carlo (MC) method. We find a distortion-induced magnetization step at low temperatures and low magnetic fields. The magnitude of this step is given by $Δm_z=\left|1-α\right|/3α$ at zero temperature, where $α$ denotes the spatial anisotropy in exchange constants. The magnetization step signals a first-order transition at low temperatures, between two phases distinguished by distinct and well-developed short-range spin correlations, one characterized by spin alignment of a local $120^{\circ}$ structure with a $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$ period, and the other by a partially spin-flopped structure. We point out the relevance of our results to the unconventional steps observed in volborthite.
