description: In this paper, a new problem of transmitting information over the adversarial insertion-deletion channel with feedback is introduced. Suppose that the encoder transmits $n$ binary symbols one-by-one over a channel, in which some symbols can be deleted and some additional symbols can be inserted. After each transmission, the encoder is notified about the insertions or deletions that have occurred within the previous transmission and the encoding strategy can be adapted accordingly. The goal is to design an encoder that is able to transmit error-free as much information as possible under the assumption that the total number of deletions and insertions is limited by $τn$, $0

description: The strain dependent functional properties of epitaxial transition metal oxide films can be significantly modified via substrate selection. However, large lattice mismatches preclude dislocation-free epitaxial growth on ferroelectric substrates, whose strain states are modified by applied electric fields. Here we overcome this mismatch problem by depositing an epitaxial film of ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 on a single crystal substrate of well lattice matched SrTiO3 via a film of SrRuO3 that we subsequently dissolved, permitting the transfer of unstrained La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 to a ferroelectric substrate of 0.68Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 0.32PbTiO3 in a different crystallographic orientation. Ferroelectric domain switching, and a concomitant ferroelectric phase transition, produced large non volatile changes of magnetization that were mediated by magnetic domain rotations at locations defined by the microstructure - as revealed via high resolution vector maps of magnetization constructed from photoemission electron microscopy data, with contrast from x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. In future, our method may be exploited to control functional properties in dislocation free epitaxial films of any composition.

description: We show that it is possible to define a Lorentz-covariant reduced spin density matrix for massive particles. Such a matrix allows one to calculate the mean values of observables connected with spin measurements (average polarizations). Moreover, it contains not only information about polarization of the particle but also information about its average kinematical state. We also use our formalism to calculate the correlation function in the Einstein--Podolsky--Rosen--Bohm type experiment with massive relativistic particles.

description: In this paper, we use an unusually rich data set from Ghana to explore the endogenous formation of information network linkages among farmers. We propose and test a new measure of social distance that accommodates possible asymmetries in social distance. Using this improved measure, we show that social distance plays a major role in shaping network structure, but that other factors related to the inherent costs and benefits of linkage matter significantly as well. Network interlinkages appear relatively modest. We are also able to corroborate the sociological "strength of weak ties" hypothesis.

Year: 2021

description: In this paper, I would like to present an analysis of the social environment of language contact in Italy exploring how historically the language policy in the era of fascism produced a complex idea of the Italian language community. I will use the notions of spatiality, glottophagy and camouflage to indicate, describe and analyse how this came to be and still is the case, and I will try to contextualize this process in the fascist history of Italy. In the second part, I will focus on the relationship between language, space and society as represented in Italian cinema, unpacking the relationships between fascism and Italian language policy and the language structured by socioeconomic and cultural conflicts. Discussing the language structure in three cinematic cases, I want to demonstrate how Italian cinema has interpreted the relationship between different languages and conflict in the repertoire in the moment when social conflict started to be filmed by some film directors at the end of the Second World War.

description: This paper examines farms in areas undergoing development, using a longitudinal file constructed by linking several agricultural censuses. Individual farms are followed over the 1982-97 period. Survival, exit, and entrance rates are presented for three types of farms: recreational, adaptive, and traditional. The three types of farms are located where one would expect. Traditional farms are concentrated in nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) counties, while adaptive farms are concentrated in metro core counties. Recreational farms are least common in nonmetro nonadjacent areas, where off-farm opportunities are fewest. The concentration of adaptive farms in metro core counties does not appear to be the result of these farms simply surviving an urban environment better than traditional and recreational farms. In fact, adaptive farms have lower survival rates than traditional farms. Adaptive farms instead had a relatively high entrance rate.
Multilingualism in the linguistic landscape of Eastern China: City residents' perceptions and attitudes
Creators: name: Shang, Guowen
Publisher: name: Globe: A Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2021

description: Linguistic landscape (LL) is a thriving strand of inquiry in sociolinguistics to interpret the multilingual representations in public space. Taking city residents as LL readers, this paper examines their opinions about the urban multilingualism visible in Eastern China’s big cities in order to find out how the language displays are perceived and evaluated by the public. LL-related language policies and the LL practices in three representative cities are sketched out as the backdrop for the language attitude exploration. A questionnaire survey was administered among 1302 participants from Eastern China to investigate their perception of and attitudes towards the urban multilingualism in their lived space. It is found that most participants are aware of the multilingual practices in the written environment, and they respond positively to the Chinese-dominant, English-rich multilingual practices in the LL. The inscriptions of English and other foreign languages are generally conceived of as instrumental in the construction of an international-oriented city image. Moreover, the non-standard language variations (e.g. Chinglish) in the LL tend to be seen as a problem, though traditional Chinese characters are not turned down. The findings in the study can help us gain an understanding of the bottom-up language ideologies in China and contribute to the ‘experiential’ dimension of LL studies.

description: Memristor-based logic-in-memory (LiM) has become popular as a means to overcome the von Neumann bottleneck in traditional data-intensive computing. Recently, the memristor-aided logic (MAGIC) design style has gained immense traction for LiM due to its simplicity. However, understanding the energy distribution during the design of logic operations within the memristive memory is crucial in assessing such an implementation's significance. The current energy estimation methods rely on coarse-grained techniques, which underestimate the energy consumption of MAGIC-styled operations performed on a memristor crossbar. To address this issue, we analyze the energy breakdown in MAGIC operations and propose a solution that utilizes mapping from the SIMPLER MAGIC tool to achieve accurate energy estimation through SPICE simulations. In contrast to existing research that primarily focuses on optimizing execution energy, our findings reveal that the memristor's initialization energy in the MAGIC design style is, on average, 68x higher. We demonstrate that this initialization energy significantly dominates the overall energy consumption. By highlighting this aspect, we aim to redirect the attention of designers towards developing algorithms and strategies that prioritize optimizations in initializations rather than execution for more effective energy savings.

description: Two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets host rich physics, including long-range ordering, high-$T_c$ superconductivity, quantum spin liquid behavior, topological ordering, a variety of other exotic phases, and quantum criticalities. Frustrating perturbations in antiferromagnets may give rise to strong quantum fluctuations, challenging the theoretical understanding of the many-body ground state. Here we develop a method to describe the quantum antiferromagnets using fermionic degrees of freedom. The method is based on a formally exact mapping between spin exchange models and theories describing fermionic matter with the emergent $U(1)$ Chern-Simons gauge field. For the planar Néel state, this mapping self-consistently generates the Chern-Simons superconductor mean-field ground state of introduced spinless fermions. We systematically compare the Chern-Simons superconductor state with the planar Néel state at the level of collective modes as well as order parameters. We reveal qualitative and quantitative correspondences between these two states. We demonstrate that such a construction using the fractionalized excitations and Chern-Simons gauge field can not only describe the Néel order but can also be applied to study quantum spin liquids. Furthermore, we show that the confinement-deconfinement transitions from the Néel order to quantum spin liquids are signaled and characterized by the instabilities of Chern-Simons superconductors, driven by strong frustration. The results suggest observing and classifying the descendants of antiferromagnets, including other ordered states and unconventional superconductors, as well as emergent quantum spin liquids.

description: This study improves upon the standard "dummy variable" approach to modeling fish consumption advisories by jointly estimating a "perceived hazard" model and a site choice model. The perceived hazard model overcomes the shortcomings of the dummy variable model, namely that all anglers respond equally to advisories and that all anglers know of and believe the advisories. We find that anglers' perceived hazards associated with consumption advisories do affect product (recreational site) choice. Anglers' perceptions also affect welfare measures, where the benefits of contaminant removal follow a more reasonable pattern than that of the dummy variable approach. The joint perceived hazard/product choice model is applicable to a wide variety of risky choices with which consumers are faced.

Smart contracts, powered by blockchain, can be developed by using the AI capabilities. These contracts can execute themselves based on predefined conditions, automating various processes and reducing the need for intermediaries. Blockchain provides a transparent and immutable ledger for supply chain transactions. AI can be integrated to analyze this data, providing insights into the entire supply chain. This helps in tracking and tracing products, ensuring authenticity, and optimizing the supply chain based on data-driven decisions. AI algorithms can be employed to analyze data from the manufacturing process recorded on the blockchain. This allows for predictive maintenance and quality control, helping to identify and address issues before they result in defects or downtime. AI and blockchain can work together to secure the massive amount of data generated by IoT devices in an Industry 4.0 setting. Blockchain ensures the integrity and immutability of IoT data, while AI can analyze this data for insights and optimization. AI and blockchain can facilitate the creation of decentralized energy grids where AI algorithms optimize energy distribution and blockchain ensures transparent and secure energy trading through smart contracts. AI and blockchain can support decentralized and collaborative manufacturing networks where different entities can securely and efficiently collaborate on production processes. Blockchain enables individuals or organizations to securely monetize their data. AI can help analyze and determine the value of data, ensuring fair compensation in tokenized ecosystems. In this paper, applications of AI-Powered Blockchain Technology in Industry 4.0 is reviewed and discussed and future research works are also suggested. As a result, efficiency, transparency, and security across various industrial processes can be enhanced by analyzing the recent achievements in AI-Powered Blockchain Technology in Industry 4.0.

description: The main objective of this article is to discuss the theoretical background and rationale for developing Ungspråk, a longitudinal, mixed methods study set in Norwegian lower secondary schools. The paper starts with an overview of different scholarly approaches to the study of multilingualism and their implications for research on multilingualism in education. After a brief introduction to multilingualism in Norwegian society and educational contexts, we present our research areas of interest and the main research questions. Particular attention is paid to the relevance of the concept of multilingual identity to the study. In addition, we discuss how the project will contribute to furthering the understanding of the relationship between multilingualism and intercultural competence. The mixed methods design of the Ungspråk project innovatively explores how different research methods and instruments can be combined to investigate questions related to multilingualism and multilingual identity and to create opportunities for meaningful interactions between researchers and participants. When discussing the mixed methods design of the project, we focus on how quantitative and qualitative components are integrated to address the research questions, engage participants in the research process and strengthen the overall validity of the findings. Overall, we hope that the Ungspråk project will contribute new insights into how languages can be learned and cultures explored in the 21st century multilingual classroom. Furthermore, the project may impact how researchers and participants interact with and benefit from empirical studies on education.

"That is a big shift for us": Teachers' and teacher educators' perceptions of multilingualism and multilingual operationalizations
Creators: name: Myklevold, Gro-Anita
Publisher: name: Globe: A Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2021

description: This article explores how teachers and teacher educators perceive multilingualism in general, and how they comprehend four specific multilingual operationalizations in particular. It also examines how the participants perceive multilingualism in relation to their language subject(s) in the new national curriculum (LK20) in Norway. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with four teachers and four teacher educators, and the analysis yielded three main themes. First, the participants regarded multilingualism as an important resource for both minority and majority language students in language acquisition and language use. Second, they reported a big shift in how they perceived multilingualism; from a narrow focus on language skills and fluency, to a wider emphasis on knowledge of languages, dialects and language learning. Third, despite this shift, the participants declared that they had insufficient knowledge of how to operationalize multilingualism systematically in their language classrooms. The implementation of the new curriculum (LK20) was viewed to be a good opportunity for developing more knowledge of multilingualism and multilingual operationalizations, but potential challenges to this were identified as the monolingual traditions underpinning the school structures and assessment cultures.

description: The Probability Density Function (PDF) provides an estimate of the photometric redshift (zphot) prediction error. It is crucial for current and future sky surveys, characterized by strict requirements on the zphot precision, reliability and completeness. The present work stands on the assumption that properly defined rejection criteria, capable of identifying and rejecting potential outliers, can increase the precision of zphot estimates and of their cumulative PDF, without sacrificing much in terms of completeness of the sample. We provide a way to assess rejection through proper cuts on the shape descriptors of a PDF, such as the width and the height of the maximum PDF's peak. In this work we tested these rejection criteria to galaxies with photometry extracted from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) ESO Data Release 4, proving that such approach could lead to significant improvements to the zphot quality: e.g., for the clipped sample showing the best trade-off between precision and completeness, we achieve a reduction in outliers fraction of $\simeq 75\%$ and an improvement of $\simeq 6\%$ for NMAD, with respect to the original data set, preserving the $\simeq 93\%$ of its content.

description: We propose a scheme for simultaneously trapping and detecting single atoms near the surface of a substrate using whispering gallery modes of a microdisk resonator. For efficient atom-mode coupling the atom should be placed within approximately 150 nm from the disk. We show that a combination of red and blue detuned modes can form an optical trap at such distances while the back-action of the atom on the field modes can simultaneously be used for atom detection. We investigate these trapping potentials including van-der-Waals and Casimir-Polder forces and discuss corresponding atom detection efficiencies, depending on a variety of system parameters. Finally, we analyze the feasibility of non-destructive detection.

description: This study explores how property taxes affect the timing of development. The theoretical literature suggests that higher taxes increase the time to development, although there is some disagreement in the literature. We present a simple theoretical model to motivate an empirical model that explores how land use change decisions are made over time. A hazard model is used to predict factors that influence the time to development over an 11-year period in an urbanizing county in the Midwestern corn belt. The results suggest that higher taxes slow development, as expected. Over the 11-year period for our sample, we predict that 25% more agricultural land would have converted to development if taxes had not risen. We also find, however, that the effects are not constant across different land qualities. In particular, we find that higher taxes make higher quality agricultural land more susceptible to development.
Are future L3-German teachers prepared to increase students' metacognition and crosslinguistic awareness in the multilingual classroom? An analysis of teacher education programs at Danish and Norwegian universities
Creators: name: Nielsen, Maj Schian
Publisher: name: Globe: A Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2021

description: The multilingual turn in Europe requires an adaption of foreign language teaching approaches. This study provides theoretical and empirical reasons to treat crosslinguistic awareness as a potentially beneficial metacognitive tool for multilingual language learners. Furthermore, it explores whether future foreign language teachers are introduced to crosslinguistic awareness as a teaching tool in university teacher education. A sample of 27 national and local documents concerning parts of German foreign language teacher education in Denmark and Norway were analyzed for concepts such as multilingualism, metacognition, and crosslinguistic awareness. The document analysis showed that the three main concepts appeared comparably across the countries, but the distribution within the countries differed across the levels of teacher education. In Denmark, the university level focused the most on the concepts. In contrast, the findings in Norway show a more significant level of multilingualism in the national subject curriculum for foreign languages that language teachers are expected to base their instruction on. Multilingualism was not referenced in the samples at the Norwegian university level. Regardless of the appearance of the concepts in both countries' documents, the findings are not conclusive as to whether crosslinguistic awareness is applied primarily as a learning tool for prospective teachers or whether it is promoted as a didactical tool for future teachers' teaching.

description: The article presents the main idea from my recently published book on Danes’ use of humour in professional relations with non-Danes. The key notion is humour socialisation. This notion contributes to describing the dynamic role played by language and society in moulding a person’s humour. It also brings the aspect of personal humour to the level of “national humour”, which again helps to explain why people from different countries who speak different languages do not always share the same kind of humour.

description: We theoretically study the dipolar motion of bosonic atoms in a very shallow, strongly confined 1D optical lattice using the parameters of the recent experiment [Fertig et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 220402 (2005)]. We find that, due to momentum uncertainty, a small, but non-negligible, atom population occupies the unstable velocity region of the corresponding classical dynamics, resulting in the observed dissipative atom transport. This population is generated even in a static vapor, due to quantum fluctuations which are enhanced by the lattice and the confinement, and is not notably affected by the motion of atoms or finite temperature.

Electrostatic interactions and the pH-dependent stability and mechanism of BCX
Creators: name: Joshi, Manish D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The pH-dependent activity of Bacillus circulans xylanase (BCX) is determined by ionization states of the nucleophile (Glu78, pK[sub a] 4.6) and the acid/base catalyst (Glul72, pK[sub a] 6.7). Inspection of the BCX structure shows that Glu78 and Glul72 are in similar environments and surrounded by equivalent, conserved active-site residues. Hence, there are no obvious reasons as to why their pK[sub a]'s are different. To address this question, a mutagenic approach was implemented to determine what features establish the pK[sub a]’s (measured by ¹³C-NMR and pH-dependent activity profiles) of these two catalytic carboxylic acids and give rise to their difference in ionization behaviour. Results indicate that all of the conserved active-site residues act conceitedly in establishing the pK[sub a]'s of Glu78 and Glul72, with no particular residue being singly more important than any of the others. In general, residues that contribute positive charges and hydrogen-bonds serve to lower the pK[sub a]'s of Glu78 and Glul72. In contrast, neighbouring acidic groups can either lower or raise the pK[sub a]'s of the catalytic glutamic acids, using direct hydrogen-bonding interactions or reverse-protonation mechanisms. Analysis of several BCX structures indicates that Glu78 is preferentially stabilized over Glul72 in part by stronger hydrogen-bonds donated by rigidly held residues. Furthermore, theoretical calculations show that Glu78 has a lower pKa than Glul72 due to more favourable local and global electrostatics. Mutating neighbouring residues within the active-site modifies the BCX pH-optimum, achieving greater than wildtype levels of activity in isolated cases. However, activity is usually compromised due to loss of important ground and/or transition-state interactions. The roles that specific acidic groups play in the pH-dependent stability of BCX were also assessed by measuring the pK[sub a]'s, using ¹³C-NMR, of all seven aspartates. The pK[sub a]’s of all aspartate residues are less than corresponding values observed with random coil polypeptides, indicating that their ionization contributes favourably to the stability of the folded enzyme. Residues that were most conserved, most buried and most perturbed in pKa contributed the most to the pH-dependent stability of the enzyme and were stabilized extensively by either hydrogen-bonds or salt bridges, implicating a role for electrostatics in the protein interior of family 11 xylanases.

description: In this paper, a theoretical model is developed to analyze the interactions among residential development, land use regulations, and public financial impacts (public expenditure and property tax). A simultaneous equations system with self-selection and discrete dependent variables is estimated to determine the interactions for counties in the five western states (California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington). The results show that county governments are more likely to impose land use regulations when facing rapid land development, high public expenditure and property tax. The land use regulations, in turn, decrease land development, long-run public expenditure, and property tax at the cost of higher housing prices and property tax. During the period of 1982-1992, land use regulations reduced developed areas by 612,800 acres or 8.8 % of the developed area of five western states in 1992, but increased housing price by $5,741 per unit under "stringent" regulations and $1,319 per unit under "low" regulations. Because it costs money to develop and implement land use regulations, land use regulations increased public expenditure and property tax in the short run, during the period of 1982-1987. However, in the long-run (1982-1992), land use regulations actually reduce public expenditure and property taxes because the regulations reduce developed areas. The results also show that land use regulations, land development, public expenditure, and property tax all are significantly affected by population, geographic location, land quality, housing prices, and the risks and costs of development.
ADDITIVE VERSUS PROPORTIONAL PEST DAMAGE FUNCTIONS: WHY ECOLOGY MATTERS

description: Economic analyses of pests typically assume damage is either additively separable from pest free yield or proportional to it. This paper describes the ecological assumptions required for additive and proportional damage functions to demonstrate that both specifications are reasonable. Ecological research supports a proportional damage function for competitive pests such as weeds, while for insect pests the appropriate damage function depends on the level of pest free yield. Theoretical analysis identifies differences between additive and proportional damage functions in terms of the impact of pest control on output variance and the concavity of output in the pest control input.

Complementarity and division of labor between endo and exocentric languages. The case of Danish and Spanish
Creators: name: Müller, Henrik Høeg
Publisher: name: Globe: A Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2021

description: This paper is based on comparative data on Danish and Spanish, and argues that systematic variations between the word formation (Müller 2013) and syntactic pat terns dominating these two languages correlate with deep rooted lexical differences between endocentric (Germanic) and exocentric (Romance) languages. The paper follows the lexical typological assumption that endo and exocentric languages complementarily distribute semantic information on the two major word classes, nouns and verbs (e.g. Baron & Herslund 2005; Baron et al . 2019; Korzen 2016). Whereas the former concentrate information in the main verb and leave the nominal arguments underspecified, the latter act oppositely, that is, they tend to use general verbs (e.g. Herslund 2014; Müller 2014, 2019) and specific nouns. With respect to word formation, a consequence of the vagueness of endocentric nouns, and, thus, their hyperonymic level lexicalization, is that in order to designate entities at a hyponymic level, the Germanic languages tend to use the composition system. In contrast, exocentric nouns are already semantically saturated, so presumably the Romance languages have not developed a complete system of morphological composition to tackle the task of creating lexical hierarchies. In these languages, either the sema ntic components are already encapsulated in the simple noun, or they use an alternative strategy, namely, derivation. Therefore, composition in the Romance languages has not generally been routinized as part of a morphological system, but has the status of a syntactic device, prototypically following the formative pattern [N prep. N]. As regards syntactic patterns, the high level of specificity of Danish verbs correlates with a structural flexibility that allows inherently intransitive, manner expressing ac tivity predicates of this language to be constructed telically. In contrast, the possibility of constructing telic variations of such predicates is generally considered a rather marginal phenomenon in the Romance languages (e.g. Korzen 2003: 85 89 and refe rences therein).
