description: Given the far-reaching negative impacts associated with bullying, researchers have extensively examined different prevention and intervention methods to help reduce this behaviour. Within the last decade, research has found that teachers can often act as a first line of defence for bullying. The current study extends the literature by examining the similarities and differences between in-service and pre-service teachers’ attitudes about bullying. Specifically, this study examined in-service and pre-service teachers’ perceived seriousness level, empathy level and likelihood to intervene for verbal, relational and physical bullying. Participants consisted of 158 teachers (in-service teachers: 56, pre-service teachers: 102). Results reveal that teachers hold different attitudes about verbal, relational and physical bullying and that perceived seriousness level and empathy level can predict teachers’ willingness to intervene in bullying. No overall differences were found between in-service and pre-service teachers’ attitudes about bullying. These results further demonstrate the importance of informing teachers about the negative consequences of bullying, specifically in regard to different forms of bullying, in hopes to increase teachers’ intervention and reduce the negative consequences of bullying.

description: We study both oscillating and inflating curvaton scenarios when the curvaton mechanism is caused by a hybrid potential. The source of the curvature perturbation is the inhomogeneous phase transition that causes the modulation of the onset of the oscillation. For the supergravity-motivated curvaton there is a possibility of finding natural coincidence of the energy density that is needed to affect non-Gaussianity in the curvaton scenario.

description: How do you bring a rodeo to an end? It's my assignment today to get my arms around what we heard—and, yes, that's a pun on making love—and to help you get your arms around it, too, by doing what journalists do: connecting the dots, to try to make a coherent whole out of different presentations and perspectives on love and its obstacles. Part of what I heard, however, was how difficult it is to get your arms around even one person, a mother or child, a partner or mate, much less somebody Other in the world. Love is a subject that encompasses so many different worlds of knowledge, thought, and ideas. Every time I heard the word today it seemed a hyperlink to some experience, some memory, some feeling, something I knew or needed to know more about. If it was like that for you—and I expect that it was—then what we really should do is be quiet for a
few minutes to allow you to concentrate, and then let you speak from your own hearts and your own experiences of love.

description: Companies often combine agile and plan-based methods to so-called hybrid development approaches to benefit from the advantages of both. Recent research highlights conflicts introduced when combining agile and plan-based approaches in the different phases of the software lifecycle. For example, using both agile and plan-based methods during the requirements engineering of a project requires a decision on how many requirements should be gathered up-front and how many can be gathered during the runtime of a project. These conflicts need to be solved in order to construct a successful development approach. In order to investigate why the conflicts exist, how they are addressed in industry, and how they are related to each other, we performed a multi-case interview study with 15 practitioners. Our results reveal that the conflicts exist because companies use plan-based approaches to structure their agile development and define spaces of freedom and flexibility at the same time. From this insight and our results, we derive a theory that shows how companies structure their development stepwise by defining frames.

description: One of the many bizarre features of entanglement is that Alice, by sending a qubit to Bob in a separable state, can generate some entanglement between herself and Bob. This protocol is stripped down to the bare essentials to better elucidate the key properties of the initial resource state that enable this entanglement distribution. The necessary and sufficient conditions under which the correlations of a Bell-diagonal state serve as a useful resource are proven, giving upper and lower bounds on the entanglement that can be distributed when those conditions are met.

An Efficient Algorithm for the Analysis of Cyclic Circuits

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Computer science

description: Compiling high-level hardware languages can produce circuits containing combinational cycles that can never be sensitized. Such circuits  do have well-defined functional behavior, but wreak havoc with most logic synthesis and timing tools, which assume acyclic combinational logic. As such, some sort of cycle-removal step is usually necessary for handling these circuits. We present an algorithm able to quickly and exactly characterize all combinational behavior of a cyclic circuit. It iteratively examines the boundary between gates whose outputs are and are not defined and works backward to find additional input patterns that make the circuit behave combinationally. It produces a minimal set of sets of assignments to inputs that together cover all combinational behavior. This can be used to restructure the circuit into an acyclic equivalent, report errors, or as an optimization aid. Experiments show our algorithm runs several orders of magnitude faster than existing ones on real-life cyclic circuits, making it useful in practice.
title: Genome editing tool for studying Ciona robusta nervous system differentiation
Creators: name: Olivo, Paola
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: The development of the central nervous system (CNS) depends on complex gene regulatory networks (GRN) that orchestrate the specification, patterning and differentiation of neural cell types. Taking advantage of the unique characteristics of a simple chordate, the ascidian Ciona robusta, I identified a group of genes, expressed in the nervous system of Ciona, to investigate the network that controls specification inside the central and peripheral nervous system. The approach used to study functionally these genes has been the gene editing, performed by CRISPR/cas9 technique, indeed in this work I had the opportunity to evaluate the whole process of this emerging technique, preparing and testing several sgRNAs on the selected genes. Moreover, I focused my attention on a type of sensory neuron, belonging to the peripheral nervous system, Bipolar tail neurons (BTNs), through the investigation of two poorly studied genes, Rimbp and LZTS, both expressed in the BTNs neurons. This thesis amplified the knowledge on their involvement in the gene regulatory network of BTNs during Ciona nervous system development. Here I showed that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of LZTS in the epidermis results in extra BTNs, suggesting LZTS functions as a repressor during differentiation and specification of BTNs. All these data provide new insight into the development of the Ciona nervous system, encouraging further studies to clarify and confirm LZTS role in the Ciona nervous system development.

description: The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a sensitive alpine environment of global importance, being Asia's water tower, featuring vast ice masses and comprising the world's largest alpine grasslands. Intensified land-use and pronounced global climate change have put pressure on the environment of the TP. We studied the tempo-spatial variability of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to better understand the fluxes of nutrients and energy from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems in the TP. We used a multiparametrical approach, based on inorganic water chemistry, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration, dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics (chromophoric DOM, fluorescence DOM and δ13C of DOM) in stream samples of three catchments of the Nam Co watershed and the lake itself. Satellite based plant cover estimates were used to link biogeochemical data to the structure and degradation of vegetation zones in the catchments. Catchment streams showed site-specific DOM signatures inherited from glaciers, wetlands, groundwater, and Kobresia pygmaea pastures. By comparing stream and lake samples, we found DOM processing and unification by loss of chromophoric DOM signatures and a change towards an autochthonous source of lake DOM. DOM diversity was largest in the headwaters of the catchments and heavily modified in terminal aquatic systems. Seasonality was characterized by a minor influence of freshet and by a very strong impact of the Indian summer monsoon on DOM composition, with more microbial DOM sources. The DOM of Lake Nam Co differed chemically from stream water samples, indicating the lake to be a quasi-marine environment in regards to the degree of chemical modification and sources of DOM. DOM proved to be a powerful marker to elucidate consequences of land use and climatic change on biogeochemical processes in High Asian alpine ecosystems.

description: In previous work, we introduced a bait-injection system designed to delude and detect crimeware by forcing it to reveal itself during the exploitation of captured information. Although effective as a technique, our original system was practically limited, as it was implemented in a personal VM environment. In this paper, we investigate how to extend our system by applying it to personal workstation environments. Adapting our system to such a different environment reveals a number of challenging issues, such as scalability, portability, and choice of physical communication means. We provide implementation details and we evaluate the effectiveness of our new architecture.

description: We have produced large samples of ultracold $^{88}$Sr$_2$ molecules in the electronic ground state in an optical lattice. The molecules are bound by 0.05 cm$^{-1}$ and are stable for several milliseconds. The fast, all-optical method of molecule creation via intercombination line photoassociation relies on a near-unity Franck-Condon factor. The detection uses a weakly bound vibrational level corresponding to a very large dimer. This is the first of two steps needed to create Sr$_2$ in the absolute ground quantum state. Lattice-trapped Sr$_2$ is of interest to frequency metrology and ultracold chemistry.

description: What are the quantum laws of electricity in mesoscopic circuits? This very fundamental question has also direct implications for the quantum engineering of nanoelectronic devices. Indeed, when a quantum coherent conductor is inserted into a circuit, its transport properties are modified. In particular, its conductance is reduced because of the circuit back-action. This phenomenon, called environmental Coulomb blockade, results from the granularity of charge transfers across the coherent conductor. Although extensively studied for a tunnel junction in a linear circuit, it is only fully understood for arbitrary short coherent conductors in the limit of small circuit impedances and small conductance reduction. Here, we investigate experimentally the strong back-action regime, with a conductance reduction of up to 90%. This is achieved by embedding a single quantum channel of tunable transmission in an adjustable on-chip circuit of impedance comparable to the resistance quantum $R_K=h/e^2$ at microwave frequencies. The experiment reveals important deviations from calculations performed in the weak back-action framework, and matches with recent theoretical results. From these measurements, we propose a generalized expression for the conductance of an arbitrary quantum channel embedded in a linear circuit.

description: The recent advent and evolution of deep learning models and pre-trained embedding techniques have created a breakthrough in supervised learning. Typically, we expect that adding more labeled data improves the predictive performance of supervised models. On the other hand, collecting more labeled data is not an easy task due to several difficulties, such as manual labor costs, data privacy, and computational constraint. Hence, a comprehensive study on the relation between training set size and the classification performance of different methods could be essentially useful in the selection of a learning model for a specific task. However, the literature lacks such a thorough and systematic study. In this paper, we concentrate on this relationship in the context of short, noisy texts from Twitter. We design a systematic mechanism to comprehensively observe the performance improvement of supervised learning models with the increase of data sizes on three well-known Twitter tasks: sentiment analysis, informativeness detection, and information relevance. Besides, we study how significantly better the recent deep learning models are compared to traditional machine learning approaches in the case of various data sizes. Our extensive experiments show (a) recent pre-trained models have overcome big data requirements, (b) a good choice of text representation has more impact than adding more data, and (c) adding more data is not always beneficial in supervised learning.

description: In this digital age organizations depend upon the technologies to provide customer-centric solutions by understanding well about their customers' behaviour and continuously improving business process of the organization. Business intelligence (BI) applications will play a vital role at this stage by discovering the knowledge hidden in internal as well as external sources. On the other hand, Knowledge Management (KM) will enhance the organisations performance by providing collaborative tools to learn, create and share the knowledge among the employees. The main intention of the BI is to enhance the employees' knowledge with information that allows them to make decisions to achieve its organisational strategies. However only twenty percent of data exist in structured form, majority of banks knowledge is in unstructured or minds of its employees. Organizations are needed to integrate KM with Knowledge which is discovered from data and information. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the need of business insiders in the process of knowledge discovery and distribution, to make BI more relevant to business of the bank. We have also discussed about the BI/KM applications in banking industry and provided a framework to integrate BI and KM in banking industry.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore, with a sample of fifteen (15) Black undergraduate students in Ontario, their considerations of the various factors that influenced their university choice process, including the decision to attend university, and to attend a particular institution. This research employed a qualitative case study methodology to understand the lived experiences of participants. Two data-collection methods were utilized, including a survey questionnaire and individual interviews. A review of the literature was conducted to devise a conceptual framework for the design and analysis of the study. The data from individual interviews, surveys and the researcher’s field notes, revealed participants' perceptions and experiences during the university application and enrolment processes, and was reviewed against the literature as well as emergent themes. Having analyzed the findings, it became clear that as Black communities in Canada have historically struggled for physical access to educational spaces, then control over the apparatus of education within those spaces, then for the development of independent Black alternatives; the lived experiences of the participants in this study, all Black undergraduate students, mirrors this trajectory. Participants, through their interview responses, told a story that would be familiar to students of educational histories pertaining to Black communities and those with the lived experience of interacting with educational spaces as Black people.

description: Archaeology is a destructive process in which accurate and detailed recording of a site is imperative. As a site is exposed, documentation is required in order to recreate and understand the site in context. We have developed a 3D modeling pipeline that can assist archaeologists in the documentation effort by building rich, geometrically and photometrically accurate 3D models of the site. The modeling effort begins with data acquisition (images, range scans, GIS data, and video) and ends with the use of a sophisticated visualization tool that can be used by researchers to explore and understand the site. The pipeline includes new methods for shadow-based registration of 2D images and temporal change detection. Our multimodal augmented reality system allows users wearing head-tracked, see-through, head-worn displays to visualize the site model and associated archaeological artifacts, and to interact with them using speech and gesture.
Ecumenical Diaconical Work as a Cultural Contribution to the Humanization of our Contemporary Society
Creators: name: Munteanu, Daniel
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Religion

description: Diaconical work as an exercise of the service in the need of the destitute is called Service of Christ and Praising of God. Diaconical work reflects the “kingdom of heaven as kingdom of charity” and is at the same time an expression of the liturgical anticipation of God’s eschatological coming. This anticipation happens by the Holy Spirit, who helps people to overcome the sinful self-centering solipsism, and egoism. The reason Diaconical work never leads to narcissistic imagination and self-admiration lies in the fact that every act of love: love of neighbors, creation, and God. The Christian as a deacon sees the other with the eyes of the everlasting love of God and recognizes the dignity as a subject on which this love of God is oriented. Christian Diaconical work is not only Christocentric but also pneumato-centric. It assumes, therefore, not only pneumatology, but also certain anthropology.

description: The study aims to assess the impact of climate change on Saint Martin’s Island, where soft coral is available. Both primary and secondary data were used to examine the current changes and to predict the future changes in the ecosystem. It was found that the mangrove forests are near to extinct due to anthropogenic and climatic perturbations. The climatic factors include sedimentation, inundation stress and increased salinity at landward zones. Pandanus trees face high level of mortality due to increased salinity. The nut development of coconut tree is affected by water stress which resulted in a small number of nuts, empty nuts or elongated nuts. The major threats to the corals are high levels of sedimentation, cyclones, storm surges and beach erosion. The study advocated for adopting a mitigation strategy to overcome these stresses.

description: Based on first principles density functional theory calculations we explored energetics of oxygen reduction reaction over pristine and nitrogen-doped graphene with different amounts of nitrogen doping. The process of oxygen reduction requires one more step then same reaction catalyzed by metals. Results of calculations evidence that for the case of light doped graphene (about 4% of nitrogen) energy barrier for each step is lower than for the same process on Pt surface. In contrast to the catalysis on metal surface the maximal coverage of doped graphene is lower and depends on the corrugation of graphene. Changes of the energy barriers caused by oxygen load and corrugation are also discussed.

description: In this work, we calculate the exact asymptotic quantum correlations between two interacting non-resonant harmonic oscillators in a common Ohmic bath. We derive \emph{analytical formulas} for the covariances, fully describing any Gaussian stationary state of the system, and use them to study discord and entanglement in the strong and weak dissipation regimes. We discuss the rich structure of the discord of the stationary separable states arising in the strong dissipation regime. Also under strong dissipation, when the modes are not mechanically coupled, these may entangle only through their interaction with the \emph{common} environment. Interestingly enough, this stationary entanglement is only present within a \emph{finite band of frequencies} and increases with the dissipation rate. In addition, robust entanglement between \emph{detuned} oscillators is observed at low temperature.

description: A new concept for spinning unmagnetized plasma is demonstrated experimentally. Plasma is confined by an axisymmetric multi-cusp magnetic field and biased cathodes are used to drive currents and impart a torque in the magnetized edge. Measurements show that flow viscously couples momentum from the magnetized edge (where the plasma viscosity is small) into the unmagnetized core (where the viscosity is large) and that the core rotates as a solid body. To be effective, collisional viscosity must overcome the ion-neutral drag due to charge exchange collisions.

description: As algorithms are increasingly augmenting and substituting human decision-making, understanding how the introduction of computational agents changes the fundamentals of human behavior becomes vital. This pertains to not only users, but also those parties who face the consequences of an algorithmic decision. In a controlled experiment with 480 participants, we exploit an extended version of two-player ultimatum bargaining where responders choose to bargain with either another human, another human with an AI decision aid or an autonomous AI-system acting on behalf of a passive human proposer. Our results show strong responder preferences against the algorithm, as most responders opt for a human opponent and demand higher compensation to reach a contract with autonomous agents. To map these preferences to economic expectations, we elicit incentivized subject beliefs about their opponent's behavior. The majority of responders maximize their expected value when this is line with approaching the human proposer. In contrast, responders predicting income maximization for the autonomous AI-system overwhelmingly override economic self-interest to avoid the algorithm.

description: We analyze the dynamic properties of 10^7 words recorded in English, Spanish and Hebrew over the period 1800--2008 in order to gain insight into the coevolution of language and culture. We report language independent patterns useful as benchmarks for theoretical models of language evolution. A significantly decreasing (increasing) trend in the birth (death) rate of words indicates a recent shift in the selection laws governing word use. For new words, we observe a peak in the growth-rate fluctuations around 40 years after introduction, consistent with the typical entry time into standard dictionaries and the human generational timescale. Pronounced changes in the dynamics of language during periods of war shows that word correlations, occurring across time and between words, are largely influenced by coevolutionary social, technological, and political factors. We quantify cultural memory by analyzing the long-term correlations in the use of individual words using detrended fluctuation analysis.

description: We study under-barrier tunneling for a pair of energetically bound bosonic atoms in an optical lattice with a barrier. We identify conditions under which this exotic molecule tunnels as a point particle with the coordinate given by the bound pair center of mass and discuss the atomic co-tunneling beyond this regime. In particular, we quantitatively analyze resonantly enhanced co-tunneling, where two interacting atoms penetrate the barrier with higher probability than a single atom.

description: The activation of abundant or renewable feedstocks such as H2O, O2, CH4, CO2, N2 and NH3 and the development of sustainable systems for their productive conversion to value-added products are necessary to meet the growing demand for chemical and energy products. Complicating this are the unique challenges presented by these substrates and the current reliance on expensive and sparse 2nd and 3rd row transition metals to effect these bond activations. This work centres on the further development of nickel carbene complexes as a platform for small molecule activation. These species had been previously demonstrated to heterolytically activate numerous acidic bonds, including the weakly acidic bonds of ammonia. The landscape of bond activations has been expanded beyond acidic substrates to include hydridic, industrially important silanes, coupled with detailed mechanistic studies. Insights gleaned through these studies allowed for rational ligand modifications to improve stability, facilitating the study of CO2 and CO activation, and the synthesis of an umpolung cationic nickel carbene. The polarity reversal of the Ni-C moiety resulted in reactivity distinct from its neutral analogue, as exemplified by the unique ligand centred activation of ammonia. Further, preliminary studies suggest these reverse-polarity carbenes may be competent in catalytic hydrodefluorination of alkyl fluorides, an important first step in moving Ni carbenes from academic curiosity to application. Preliminary work on the synthesis of isostructural Pt carbenes will also be presented, allowing for a comparison of the bonding and reactivity in group 10 carbenes.

description: To gain insight on composite materials having nanoscale constituent phases, non-destructive methods with nanoscale resolution are needed to visualize the surface and subsurface inhomogeneities. Coupling ultrasonic technique with atomic force microscopy (AFM), as well as scanning thermal microscopy (SThM), brings together two non-destructive techniques in a single instrument that can elucidate the surface and subsurface structures and properties. Although many different ultrasonic-AFM (U-AFM) methods have been reported for subsurface imaging, the fundamental mechanisms responsible for subsurface imaging for both mechanical (U-AFM) and thermal (SThM) modes, and thus crucial parameters required to enhance the techniques, have not been fully addressed yet. To understand U-AFM mechanisms, a comprehensive model combining ultrasonic wave scattering and tip-sample contact stiffness was developed to better reproduce the experimentally measured phase variations over subsurface features in two model systems. Then, the effects of various parameters, such as mechanical properties, size and buried depth of subsurface features, as well as ultrasonic excitation frequency on the measured phase variation over the surface were explored. The theoretical analysis presented and associated comparisons with experimental results suggest that image contrast depends on the linear superposition of two contrast mechanisms: the perturbation of the scattered ultrasonic waves and the local variation of the contact stiffness at the tip-sample contact. SThM was then similarly analyzed, as it can provide additional information about subsurface features beyond what can be detected with U-AFM, which operates in contact mode and thus experiences experimental artefacts resulting from the convolution of the tip shape and sample topography. Through detecting the local, nanoscale thermal properties of samples, SThM can be used to find the exact location of the nano-features, allowing for one to better distinguish between small and closely located features, which is not possible with U-AFM because of the previously mentioned tip convolution limitation. However, similar to U-AFM, the precise mechanisms of heat conduction in a nanoscale contact in a composite material are not well-defined. Thus, the thermal contrast of SThM method needs to be modelled and investigated through the simulations and experiments, to gain a better insight on the contrast measured in experiments.

description: We demonstrate a quantum regime of dissipative nonlinear oscillator where creation of Fock states as well as superpositions of Fock states are realized for time-intervals exceeding the characteristic decoherence time. Preparation of quantum states is conditioned by strong Kerr nonlinearity as well as by excitation of resolved lower oscillatory energy levels with specific train of Gaussian pulses. This provides practical signatures to look for in experiments with cooled nonlinear oscillators.
