Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2014

description: As elucidated by Purpura and Turner in their presentation at the Teachers College Columbia University Round Table in Second Language Studies (TCCRISLS) 2014 conference, languageoriented assessment (LOA) emphasizes the centrality of learning when the interrelatedness between instruction, assessment, and learning are examined. The LOA framework is composed of seven dimensions: the contextual dimension, the elicitation dimension, the proficiency dimension, the learning dimension, the instructional dimension, the interactional dimension, and the affective dimension. This article will explore the affective dimension as it surfaced in the papers presented at the TCCRISLS conference.

description: We study the arity gap of functions of several variables defined on an arbitrary set A and valued in another set B. The arity gap of such a function is the minimum decrease in the number of essential variables when variables are identified. We establish a complete classification of functions according to their arity gap, extending existing results for finite functions. This classification is refined when the codomain B has a group structure, by providing unique decompositions into sums of functions of a prescribed form. As an application of the unique decompositions, in the case of finite sets we count, for each n and p, the number of n-ary functions that depend on all of their variables and have arity gap p.

description: Grid-free Monte Carlo methods based on the walk on spheres (WoS) algorithm solve fundamental partial differential equations (PDEs) like the Poisson equation without discretizing the problem domain or approximating functions in a finite basis. Such methods hence avoid aliasing in the solution, and evade the many challenges of mesh generation. Yet for problems with complex geometry, practical grid-free methods have been largely limited to basic Dirichlet boundary conditions. We introduce the walk on stars (WoSt) algorithm, which solves linear elliptic PDEs with arbitrary mixed Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. The key insight is that one can efficiently simulate reflecting Brownian motion (which models Neumann conditions) by replacing the balls used by WoS with star-shaped domains. We identify such domains via the closest point on the visibility silhouette, by simply augmenting a standard bounding volume hierarchy with normal information. Overall, WoSt is an easy modification of WoS, and retains the many attractive features of grid-free Monte Carlo methods such as progressive and view-dependent evaluation, trivial parallelization, and sublinear scaling to increasing geometric detail.

The Interactional Dimension of LOA: Within and Beyond the Classroom
Creators: name: Ciriani Dean, Anna
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2014

description: Learners, teachers and peers constantly interact in classroom settings. Indeed, within the framework of learning-oriented assessment (LOA), the interactional dimension plays a critical role in bridging learning gaps (Purpura & Turner, 2014). For this reason, this dimension resounded throughout the talks at the 2014 Roundtable in Second Language Studies on Learning-Oriented Assessment. Although certain speakers discussed it as a component of classroom-based assessment (CBA), others proved that interaction applies not only to unplanned, oral exchanges in the classroom, but also to elicitations not involving the traditional agents of LOA. Technology can facilitate continued exchange beyond the classroom, and it can even provide a substitute for human interaction. Furthermore, as large-scale testing companies shift their focus to LOA, they recognize the importance of creating authentic scenarios which emulate real interactions. This paper surveys the different modes of interaction discussed by the speakers as facilitated in the classroom but also in these other interactional contexts.

Effects of metallic absorption and the corrugated layer on the optical extraction efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes

description: The absorption of a metallic cathode in OLEDs is analyzed by using FDTD calculation. As the light propagates parallel to the layer, the intensity of Ez polarization decreases rapidly. The intensity at 2.0 um from the dipole is less than a quarter of that at 0.5 um. The strong absorption by a cathode can be a critical factor when considering the increase of optical extraction by means of bending the optical layers. The calculation indicates that the corrugation of layers helps the guided light escape the guiding layer, but also increases the absorption into a metallic cathode. The final optical output power of the corrugated OLED can be smaller than that of the flat OLED. On the contrary, the corrugated structure with a non-absorptive cathode increases the optical extraction by nearly two times.

description: Grid-free Monte Carlo methods such as walk on spheres can be used to solve elliptic partial differential equations without mesh generation or global solves. However, such methods independently estimate the solution at every point, and hence do not take advantage of the high spatial regularity of solutions to elliptic problems. We propose a fast caching strategy which first estimates solution values and derivatives at randomly sampled points along the boundary of the domain (or a local region of interest). These cached values then provide cheap, output-sensitive evaluation of the solution (or its gradient) at interior points, via a boundary integral formulation. Unlike classic boundary integral methods, our caching scheme introduces zero statistical bias and does not require a dense global solve. Moreover we can handle imperfect geometry (e.g., with self-intersections) and detailed boundary/source terms without repairing or resampling the boundary representation. Overall, our scheme is similar in spirit to virtual point light methods from photorealistic rendering: it suppresses the typical salt-and-pepper noise characteristic of independent Monte Carlo estimates, while still retaining the many advantages of Monte Carlo solvers: progressive evaluation, trivial parallelization, geometric robustness, etc. We validate our approach using test problems from visual and geometric computing.

description: We continue our study of the linear response of a nonequilibrium system. This Part II concentrates on models of open and driven inertial dynamics but the structure and the interpretation of the result remain unchanged: the response can be expressed as a sum of two temporal correlations in the unperturbed system, one entropic, the other frenetic. The decomposition arises from the (anti)symmetry under time-reversal on the level of the nonequilibrium action. The response formula involves a statistical averaging over explicitly known observables but, in contrast with the equilibrium situation, they depend on the model dynamics in terms of an excess in dynamical activity. As an example, the Einstein relation between mobility and diffusion constant is modified by a correlation term between the position and the momentum of the particle.

description: We propose a similarity-based method, using the similarity between nodes, to address the problem of classification in partially labeled networks. The basic assumption is that two nodes are more likely to be categorized into the same class if they are more similar. In this paper, we introduce ten similarity indices, including five local ones and five global ones. Empirical results on the co-purchase network of political books show that the similarity-based method can give high accurate classification even when the labeled nodes are sparse which is one of the difficulties in classification. Furthermore, we find that when the target network has many labeled nodes, the local indices can perform as good as those global indices do, while when the data is sparce the global indices perform better. Besides, the similarity-based method can to some extent overcome the unconsistency problem which is another difficulty in classification.

description: Motivated by recent experiments on cold atomic gases in ultra high finesse optical cavities, we consider the problem of a two-band Bose--Hubbard model coupled to quantum light. Photoexcitation promotes carriers between the bands and we study the non-trivial interplay between Mott insulating behavior and superfluidity. The model displays a global U(1) X U(1) symmetry which supports the coexistence of Mott insulating and superfluid phases, and yields a rich phase diagram with multicritical points. This symmetry property is shared by several other problems of current experimental interest, including two-component Bose gases in optical lattices, and the bosonic BEC-BCS crossover problem for atom-molecule mixtures induced by a Feshbach resonance. We corroborate our findings by numerical simulations.

Learning-Oriented Assessment: The Proficiency Dimension
Creators: name: Heil, Catherine
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2014

description: The proficiency dimension of the learning-oriented assessment (LOA) framework addresses the specific linguistic and content knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) possessed by L2 learners – it is the substance, or the “what” of teaching and learning. It raises questions such as: What do learners know? What are they expected to know? What do they actually know? (Turner & Purpura, 2015). Proficiency is often conceptualized through theoretical models of L2 ability, such as Lado’s (1961) “Skills-and-Elements” model, Bachman and Palmer’s (1996) model of communicative language ability, and Purpura’s (2004) conceptualization of L2 Proficiency. These proficiency models attempt to identify how KSAs are situated in the minds of learners. In addition to these models, the proficiency dimension also examines the dynamic role of learner proficiency by asking how KSAs change and may be tracked over time.

description: The de novo assembly of raw sequence data is a key process when analysing data from shotgun metagenomic sequencing. It allows recovering draft genomes from a pool of mixed raw reads, yielding longer sequences that offer contextual information and afford a more complete picture of the microbial community. It also represents one of the greatest bottlenecks when obtaining trustworthy, reproducible results. LMAS is an automated workflow enabling the benchmarking of traditional and metagenomic prokaryotic de novo assembly software using defined mock communities. In its current form, 11 assemblers are implemented in LMAS, with several steps having been implemented to ensure the transparency and reproducibility of the results. The use of Docker containers for each assembler allows versions to be tracked, and the use of Nextflow, a workflow management software, allows the effortless deployment of LMAS in any UNIX-based system, from local machines to high-performance computing clusters with a container engine installation. The results are presented in an interactive HTML report where selected global and reference specific performance metrics can be explored. The mock communities can be provided by the user to better reflect the samples of interest. New assemblers can be added with minimal changes to the pipeline, so that LMAS can be expanded as novel algorithms are developed. As proof-of-concept, the eight bacterial genomes and four plasmids of the ZymoBIOMICS Microbial Community Standards were used as reference, and raw sequence data of the mock communities, with an even and logarithmic distribution of species, and a simulated sample of the evenly distributed reads generated from the reference genomes were used as input for LMAS. The resulting report is available at https://lmas-demo.herokuapp.com.  Our results show that the choice of a de novo assembler depends greatly on the computational resources available and the species of interest, with the performance of each assembly varying greatly with its abundance in the sample. Overall, multiple k-mer De Bruijn graph assemblers outperform the alternatives but come with a greater cost in computational resources. No significant performance gains were obtained when using dedicated metagenomic assemblers and no single assembler emerged as an undisputed ideal choice for short-read metagenomic prokaryote genome assembly, with the different assemblers showing specific strengths. This highlights that further improvement in metagenomic assembly performance is needed, and using LMAS could underpin this.  The LMAS workflow and documentation is available at https://github.com/cimendes/LMAS.

description: In web analytics, cloud-based solutions have limitations in data ownership and privacy, whereas client-side user tracking tools face challenges such as data accuracy and a lack of server-side metrics. This paper presents the Combined Analytics and Web Application Log (CAWAL) framework as an alternative model and an on-premises framework, offering web analytics with application logging integration. CAWAL enables precise data collection and cross-domain tracking in web farms while complying with data ownership and privacy regulations. The framework also improves software diagnostics and troubleshooting by incorporating application-specific data into analytical processes. Integrated into an enterprise-grade web application, CAWAL has demonstrated superior performance, achieving approximately 24% and 85% lower response times compared to Open Web Analytics (OWA) and Matomo, respectively. The empirical evaluation demonstrates that the framework eliminates certain limitations in existing tools and provides a robust data infrastructure for enhanced web analytics.

Learning-Oriented Assessment: The Contextual Dimension

description: Over five hundred years ago, Copernicus presented findings that revolutionized the world by shifting focus away from the Earth and towards the sun as the center of the universe. Education has been encountering a similar paradigm-altering shift with the center of learning moving from the teacher to the learner. Learning-oriented assessment (LOA) is an emerging framework of that reconceptualization. LOA is, at its core, learner-centric, where attention falls concentrically, beginning with the learner, followed by learner interactions with other agents in the learning process, then moving to factors outside of the learner within the learning space (J. E. Purpura, personal communication, September 12, 2014).

Learning-Oriented Assessment: An Introduction

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL

description: Traditionally, second or foreign (L2) language assessment has been mainly viewed as the product of large-scale proficiency exams or end-of-term summative tests intended to provide external measures of L2 ability (Turner & Purpura, 2015). To anyone who has taken an L2 test, it often appears that summative assessments “serve to catch learners out and to emphasize their weaknesses, rather than to ensure that every learner has the best set of opportunities to demonstrate their abilities” (Lyons & Tavares, 2011, p. 32). It is no wonder then that stemming in part from the social constructivist theories popularized in the 1970s, the notion of formative assessment (FA) has steadily gained traction for L2 testers, teachers, and researchers who recognize that assessment can and should play a role in learning so that every learner will be able to best demonstrate their abilities.

description: In previous work, we analyzed the linear and nonlinear stability of static, spherically symmetric wormhole solutions to Einstein's field equations coupled to a massless ghost scalar field. Our analysis revealed that all these solutions are unstable with respect to linear and nonlinear spherically symmetric perturbations and showed that the perturbation causes the wormholes to either decay to a Schwarzschild black hole or undergo a rapid expansion. Here, we consider charged generalization of the previous models by adding to the gravitational and ghost scalar field an electromagnetic one. We first derive the most general static, spherically symmetric wormholes in this theory and show that they give rise to a four-parameter family of solutions. This family can be naturally divided into subcritical, critical and supercritical solutions depending on the sign of the sum of the asymptotic masses. Then, we analyze the linear stability of these solutions. We prove that all subcritical and all critical solutions possess one exponentially in time growing mode. It follows that all subcritical and critical wormholes are linearly unstable. In the supercritical case we provide numerical evidence for the existence of a similar unstable mode.

Year: 2014

description: In this forum, we invited seven contributors to reflect upon the trend of LOA as portrayed in TCCRISLS 2014. Lauren Wyner overviews the nature of learning-oriented assessment from a historical perspective. Melissa Renee Smith discusses the importance of the contextual dimension in the LOA framework, and how it was addressed at the Roundtable. Catherine Heil touches upon the proficiency dimension through the lens of learner KSAs (i.e., knowledge, skills, and abilities). Jorge Beltrán examines the learning dimension in LOA by looking at the interrelationships between learning, teaching, and assessment. Anna Ciriani Dean discusses the role of the interactional dimension and illustrates how interaction exists both within and beyond the classroom settings. Michelle Stabler-Havener takes on one of the least discussed and yet the most fundamental− the affective dimension− and talks about how affect influences not only the learning process, but also teaching as well as test administration. Last but not least, Siân Morgan adopts an integrated approach by examining how several dimensions of LOA can be found in large-scale testing, in particular the Cambridge English Language Assessment.

Mechanisms underlying the interface between number words and perceptual magnitudes
Creators: name: Dramkin, Denitza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The human mind represents information in many domains and formats. Perceptual representations of number, space, and time integrate into a holistic conscious experience, while abstract representations (e.g., morality, justice, meaning, etc.) shape our collaborative and individual behaviours. To accomplish this, perceptual and non-perceptual representations must interface, allowing us to use abstractions to describe our perception, and using perceptual experience to help us choose specific instances of potentially infinite categories. What mechanism supports the interface between perceptual experiences, especially those which are universally shared across human and non-human animals alike, and language, a distinctly human psychological phenomenon? To explore this puzzle, I focus on one case study in particular: the link between number words and perceptual magnitudes (e.g., number, space, time). Across 5 studies and distinct developmental groups (e.g., children, adults), I examine (1) what supports the acquisition of the logical, generative interface that underlies this link (Chapter 2), (2) how this interface can be extended once it’s acquired (Chapter 3) and (3) what the representational format is that allows number words to be linked to perceptual magnitudes in the first place (Chapter 4 & Chapter 5). This dissertation provides several insights into how the human mind integrates perceptual and non-perceptual formats. I demonstrate that once this interface is achieved between number words and one perceptual magnitude (i.e., number) early in development, it can be logically and flexibly extended across perceptual experiences, including to different units (e.g., labelling a set of 3 dots as “one”; Chapter 3) and magnitudes (e.g., length: judging that a line is “eight” units long; Chapter 2). Then, by exploring differences in how this interface is implemented across numeric vs. non-numeric magnitudes (Chapter 4), I get at the very format of perceptual representations, themselves (Chapter 5). Understanding how this interface is achieved is not only important for getting at the broader relationship between language and perception but is even more important from the perspective of development. Children have access to perceptual magnitude representations from birth but slowly acquire culturally-specific tools for reasoning about these magnitudes in abstract ways (e.g., number words, measurement units, mathematics, etc.).

description: NiMn is a collinear antiferromagnet with high magneto crystalline anisotropy ($K_2=-9.7\times10^5\;\text{J m}^{-3}$). Through magnetic annealing of NiMn with excess Ni, strongly pinned magnetic moments emerge due to an imbalance in the distribution of Ni in the antiferromagnetic Mn-sublattices. The results are explained with a model of magnetic-field-biased diffusion, supported by ab initio calculations. Another observation is the oxidation of Mn at the surface, causing an enrichment of Ni in the sub-surface region. This leads to an additional ferromagnetic response appearing in the magnetization measurements, which can be removed by surface polishing.

Three interpretations of incidental vocabulary learning that seem to appear recurrently in the literature are presented and discussed along with examples of empirical studies. These interpretations are labeled as: (1) learner-oriented, (2) method-oriented, and (3) pedagogyoriented definitions. Significant constructs and theories in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) that motivate these interpretations are also considered. The paper concludes with a brief summary of current views on incidental learning and suggestions for future research.

Singular gauge transformations in string field theory

description: We show that the existence of a tachyon vacuum puts tight restrictions on the form of solutions to the equations of motion of string field theory. In particular, we demonstrate that every solution can be written as a - formal - gauge transformation of the tachyon vacuum. In order for a solution to be non-trivial, this gauge transformation must be singular and we argue that this will happen when the gauge transformation annihilates a projector of the star-algebra. We comment on possible applications of the formalism to finding new solutions.

description: Mechanisms used in privacy-preserving machine learning often aim to guarantee differential privacy (DP) during model training. Practical DP-ensuring training methods use randomization when fitting model parameters to privacy-sensitive data (e.g., adding Gaussian noise to clipped gradients). We demonstrate that such randomization incurs predictive multiplicity: for a given input example, the output predicted by equally-private models depends on the randomness used in training. Thus, for a given input, the predicted output can vary drastically if a model is re-trained, even if the same training dataset is used. The predictive-multiplicity cost of DP training has not been studied, and is currently neither audited for nor communicated to model designers and stakeholders. We derive a bound on the number of re-trainings required to estimate predictive multiplicity reliably. We analyze--both theoretically and through extensive experiments--the predictive-multiplicity cost of three DP-ensuring algorithms: output perturbation, objective perturbation, and DP-SGD. We demonstrate that the degree of predictive multiplicity rises as the level of privacy increases, and is unevenly distributed across individuals and demographic groups in the data. Because randomness used to ensure DP during training explains predictions for some examples, our results highlight a fundamental challenge to the justifiability of decisions supported by differentially private models in high-stakes settings. We conclude that practitioners should audit the predictive multiplicity of their DP-ensuring algorithms before deploying them in applications of individual-level consequence.

Prosody in the Production and Processing of L2 Spoken Language and Implications for Assessment
Creators: name: Theodoropulos, Christos
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2014

description: This article offers an extended definition of prosody by examining the role of prosody in the production and comprehension of L2 spoken language from mainly a cognitive, interactionalist perspective. It reviews theoretical and empirical L1 and L2 research that have examined and explored the relationships between prosodic forms and their functions at the pragmatic and discourse levels. Finally, the importance and the various dimensions of these relationships in the context of L2 assessment are presented and the implications for L2 testing employing new technologies and automated scoring systems are discussed.

A new age determination Gamma^2 Velorum from binary stellar evolution models
Creators: name: Eldridge, John J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We derive a new age for the Gamma^2 Velorum binary by comparing recent observations to our set of binary models. We find that it is very unlikely the stars have not interacted, which implies that previous estimates of the age from single-star models of 3.5+/-0.4 Myrs are incorrect. We prefer an older age of 5.5+/-1 Myrs that agrees with the age of other lower mass stars in the Vela OB association. We also find that our favoured binary model shows the components of the binary have interacted in a Case B, post main-sequence, mass-transfer event. During the mass-transfer event, the envelopes of both components where radiative and therefore the damping of tidal forces are relatively weak. This explains why the binary is still eccentric after mass-transfer.

Partial-wave contributions to pairing in nuclei

description: We present a detailed study of partial-wave contributions of nuclear forces to pairing in nuclei. For T=1, J=0 pairing, partial waves beyond the standard 1S0 channel play an interesting role for the pair formation in nuclei. The additional contributions are dominated by the repulsive 3P1 partial wave. Their effects, and generally spin-triplet nuclear forces between paired nucleons, are influenced by the interplay of spin-orbit partners. We explore the impact of including partial waves beyond the 1S0 channel on neutron-neutron pairing gaps in semi-magic isotopic chains. In addition, we show that nuclear forces favor T=1, J=0 over T=0, J=1 pairing, except in low-j orbitals. This is in contrast to the free-space motivation that suggests the formation of deuteron-like T=0 pairs in N=Z nuclei. The suppression of T=0 pairing is because the 3S1 strength is distributed on spin-orbit partners and because of the effects of the repulsive 1P1 channel and of D waves.

description: We report the discovery of a triply imaged active galactic nucleus (AGN), lensed by the galaxy cluster MACS J0035.4-2015 ($z_{\mathrm{d}}=0.352$). The object is detected in Hubble Space Telescope imaging taken for the RELICS program. It appears to have a quasi-stellar nucleus consistent with a point-source, with a de-magnified radius of $r_e\lesssim100$ pc. The object is spectroscopically confirmed to be an AGN at $z_{\mathrm{spec}}=2.063\pm0.005$ showing broad rest-frame UV emission lines, and is detected in both X-ray observations with Chandra and in ALCS ALMA band 6 (1.2 mm) imaging. It has a relatively faint rest-frame UV luminosity for a quasar-like object, $M_{\mathrm{UV},1450}=-19.7\pm0.2$. The object adds to just a few quasars or other X-ray sources known to be multiply lensed by a galaxy cluster. Some diffuse emission from the host galaxy is faintly seen around the nucleus and there is a faint object nearby sharing the same multiple-imaging symmetry and geometric redshift, possibly an interacting galaxy or a star-forming knot in the host. We present an accompanying lens model, calculate the magnifications and time delays, and infer physical properties for the source. We find the rest-frame UV continuum and emission lines to be dominated by the AGN, and the optical emission to be dominated by the host galaxy of modest stellar mass $M_{\star}\simeq10^{9.2} \mathrm{M}_{\odot}$. We also observe some variation in the AGN emission with time, which may suggest that the AGN used to be more active. This object adds a low-redshift counterpart to several relatively faint AGN recently uncovered at high redshifts with HST and JWST.

description: The translation of eponyms and acronyms poses unique challenges in translation studies due to their cultural, historical, and scientific significance within the source language. Eponyms, derived from individuals' names (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, sandwich), and acronyms, formed from the initial letters of phrases (e.g., NASA, NATO), play key roles in fields such as medicine, technology, and politics. This study examines the complexities of translating these terms, exploring strategies such as direct translation, adaptation, borrowing, and the creation of new terms. Data from bilingual dictionaries, academic journals, and media publications were analyzed to understand the impact of cultural context on translation practices, particularly within specialized fields. The findings indicate that many eponyms and acronyms remain untranslated or undergo minimal changes, reflecting global influences and the widespread recognition of terms like "NASA" and "Wi-Fi." The research underscores the importance of cultural and contextual considerations in translation, highlighting the balance between maintaining original meaning and ensuring accessibility for the target audience.

Keywords: eponyms, acronyms, translation strategies, cultural context, globalization, specialized terminology, direct translation, adaptation, borrowing, linguistic challenges.

Retrieval of distorted pipeline embolic device using snare-loop
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background—Flow-diverter stents are increasingly being used in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Because of this increased usage, the occurrence of stent malpositioning, intra-arterial distortion, or migration will likely increase as well. Methods—We describe the conformational twisting and deformity of a pipeline embolic device (PED) stent (Covidien, EV3) within the carotid artery during stent placement, with the subsequent immediate removal of the stent by using an endovascular snare-loop to successfully remove the device. Results—The PED can be successfully removed using a snare-loop device when indicated. In this case, following removal of the initial PED, the aneurysms can be successfully treated with the placement of a second PED. Conclusion—It is critical to have a contingency plan for the removal of malpositioned or otherwise deformed stents that could potentially represent significant sources of iatrogenic stroke.
