description: The FORWARD SolarSoft IDL package is a community resource for model-data comparison, with a particular emphasis on analyzing coronal magnetic fields. FORWARD allows the synthesis of coronal polarimetric signals at visible, infrared, and radio frequencies, and will soon be augmented for ultraviolet polarimetry. In this paper we focus on observations of the infrared (IR) forbidden lines of Fe XIII, and describe how FORWARD may be used to directly access these data from the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (MLSO/CoMP), to put them in the context of other space- and ground-based observations, and to compare them to synthetic observables generated from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models.

description: The phenomenon of the use of a mobile learning (m-Learning) platform in educational institutions is slowly gaining momentum. While this can be taken as an encouraging sign, the perplexing part is that the fervor with which mobile phones have been welcomed into every aspect of our lives does not seem to be evident in the educational sector. In order to understand the reason, it is important to understand user expectations of the system. This paper documents a systematic review of various research studies seeking to find the success factors for effective m-Learning. A total of 30 studies were included in the research, which combined would give a true picture of user perceptions of the factors they consider important for effective m-Learning implementation. Our systematic review collates results from 30 studies conducted in 17 countries, where 13 critical success factors (CSFs) were found to strongly impact m-Learning.

description: Objective: Investigate the effect of helmet fit on cervical spine motion during a log roll in ice hockey. Design: Paired samples t-tests and within subjects ANOVA’s conducted for movement in three planes to determine if a significant difference in cervical spine motion existed under three helmet conditions (1- properly fitted, 2-competition, 3-removed). Setting: Sports Medicine Research Laboratory. Participants: 16 ice hockey players. Measurements: Head and helmet motion relative to the thorax in three planes using the Flock of Birds, reported in deg/sec. Results: No significant difference in helmet to thorax motion and significantly less head to thorax motion for sagittal and transverse planes when condition 3 is compared to 1 and 2. In the frontal plane, condition 2 yielded significantly less motion than 1. Conclusion: More motion occurred in the sagittal and transverse planes during the log roll of an ice hockey player when the helmet remained in place.

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Aims. To develop a fully Bayesian least squares deconvolution (LSD) that can be applied to the reliable detection of magnetic signals in noise-limited stellar spectropolarimetric observations using multiline techniques. Methods. We consider LSD under the Bayesian framework and we introduce a flexible Gaussian Process (GP) prior for the LSD profile. This prior allows the result to automatically adapt to the presence of signal. We exploit several linear algebra identities to accelerate the calculations. The final algorithm can deal with thousands of spectral lines in a few seconds. Results. We demonstrate the reliability of the method with synthetic experiments and we apply it to real spectropolarimetric observations of magnetic stars. We are able to recover the magnetic signals using a small number of spectral lines, together with the uncertainty at each velocity bin. This allows the user to consider if the detected signal is reliable. The code to compute the Bayesian LSD profile is freely available.

description: We decide the Borel complexity of the conjugacy problem for automorphism groups of countable homogeneous digraphs. Many of the homogeneous digraphs, as well as several other homogeneous structures, have already been addressed in previous articles. In this article we complete the program, and establish a dichotomy theorem that this complexity is either the minimum or the maximum among relations which are classifiable by countable structures. We also discuss the possibility of extending our results beyond graphs to more general classes of countable homogeneous structures.
Lepton-flavour violating decays in theories with dimension 6 operators

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Despite a large experimental effort, so far no evidence for flavour-violating decays of charged leptons such as $l_i\to l_jγ$ and $l_i\to l_j l_k l_k$ has been found. The absence of a signal puts very severe constraints on many extensions of the Standard Model. Here we apply a model independent approach by studying such decays in the Standard Model effective field theory. Going beyond leading order in the Standard Model couplings and considering all dimension 6 operators that might lead to lepton-flavour violation, we are able to extract limits on a large number of Wilson coefficients of such operators. We are also able to compare the impact of particular searches and find, for example, that flavour-violating decays of the $Z$-boson $Z\to μe$ are much more constrained from low-energy experiments $μ\to e γ$ than from the limits of current and future direct searches at high energy.

description: Game development is an interdisciplinary concept that embraces software engineering, business, management, and artistic disciplines. This research facilitates a better understanding of the business dimension of digital games. The main objective of this research is to investigate empirically the effect of business factors on the performance of digital games in the market and to answer the research questions asked in this study. Game development organizations are facing high pressure and competition in the digital game industry. Business has become a crucial dimension, especially for game development organizations. The main contribution of this paper is to investigate empirically the influence of key business factors on the business performance of games. This is the first study in the domain of game development that demonstrates the interrelationship between key business factors and game performance in the market. The results of the study provide evidence that game development organizations must deal with multiple business key factors to remain competitive and handle the high pressure in the digital game industry. Furthermore, the results of the study support the theoretical assertion that key business factors play an important role in game business performance.

Age-Related Differences in Rapid Torque Production: Influence of Muscle Size, Quality, Architecture, and Activation
Creators: name: Rosenberg, Joseph Gideon
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: Rapid torque production is important for many activities of daily living and has been shown to decrease in older adults. The purpose of the present study was to examine the age-related differences in the rate of torque development (RTD) and the influence of muscle size (CSA), muscle quality (EI), pennation angle (PA), fascicle length (FL) and the rate of electromyographic rise (RER) on RTD. Ultrasonography was used to examine muscle architecture and RTD and RER were examined with surface electromyography during a maximal isometric strength assessment in 35 young and 22 older men. Absolute peakRTD (aRTDpeak) and PA were lower and EI was greater in the older men (P0.05). With groups combined, CSA, EI, and PA were related to aRTDpeak (P<0.05). These findings may suggest that the age-related reductions in aRTDpeak may be related to alterations in muscle quality and PA.

description: Introduction Multimorbidity, defined as two or more chronic conditions is increasing in prevalence and is associated with increased health care use, fragmented care and poorer health outcomes. Link workers are non-health or social care professionals who support people to connect with resources in their community to improve their well-being, a process commonly referred to as social prescribing. The use of link workers in primary care may be an effective intervention in helping those with long‐term conditions manage their illness and improve health and well‐being, but the evidence base in limited. The LinkMM study is a randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness of link workers based in primary care, providing social prescribing and health and social care coordination for people with multimorbidity. The aim of the LinkMM process evaluation is to investigate the implementation of the link worker intervention, mechanisms of impact and influence of the specific context on these, as per the Medical Research Council framework, using quantitative and qualitative methods. Methods Quantitative data will be gathered from a number of sources including researcher logbooks, participant baseline questionnaires, client management database, and will be analysed using descriptive statistics. Semi structured interviews with participants will investigate their experiences of the intervention. Interviews with link workers, practices and community stakeholders will explore how the intervention was implemented and barriers and facilitators to this. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts will be conducted. Discussion The process evaluation of the LinkMM trial will provide important information allowing a more in-depth understanding of how the intervention worked and lessons for future wider scale implementation.

A Quantum Paradox of Choice: More Freedom Makes Summoning a Quantum State Harder

description: The properties of quantum information in space-time can be investigated by studying operational tasks. In one such task, summoning, an unknown quantum state is supplied at one point, and a call is made at another for it to be returned at a third. Hayden-May recently proved necessary and sufficient conditions for guaranteeing successful return of a summoned state for finite sets of call and return points when there is a guarantee of at most one summons. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions when there may be several possible summonses and complying with any one constitutes success. We show there is a "quantum paradox of choice" in summoning: the extra freedom in completing the task makes it strictly harder. This intriguing result has practical applications for distributed quantum computing and cryptography and also implications for our understanding of relativistic quantum information and its localization in space-time.

description: According to psychology, not everybody can excel at all kinds of tasks. Thus, chances of a successful outcome of software development increase if people with particular personality types are assigned to their preferred tasks in the project. Likewise, software development depends significantly on how software practitioners perform their tasks. This empirical study surveys 100 Cuban software developers, who also teach or study at the University of Informatics Sciences in Havana, Cuba. This work aims to find possible patterns that link personality types to role preferences in a software life cycle. Among the various roles, system analyst, software designer, and programmer are found to be the most preferred among the participants. In contrast, software tester and software maintainer happen to be the least popular roles among software engineers.
Discrete dynamics and non-Markovianity

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We study discrete quantum dynamics where single evolution step consists of unitary system transformation followed by decoherence via coupling to an environment. Often non-Markovian memory effects are attributed to structured environments whereas here we take a more general approach within discrete setting. In addition of controlling the structure of the environment, we are interested in how local unitaries on the open system allow the appearance and control of memory effects. Our first simple qubit model, where local unitary is followed by dephasing, illustrates how memory effects arise despite of having no-structure in the environment the system is coupled with. We then elaborate this observation by constructing a model for open quantum walk where the unitary coin and transfer operation is augmented with dephasing of the coin. The results demonstrate that in the limit of strong dephasing within each evolution step, the combined coin-position open system always displays memory effects and their quantity is independent of the structure of the environment. Our construction makes possible an experimentally realizable open quantum walk with photons exhibiting non-Markovian features.

description: The recently-proposed quasi distributions point out a promising direction for lattice QCD to investigate the light-cone correlators, such as parton distribution functions (PDF) and distribution amplitudes (DA), directly in the $x$-space. Owing to its excessive simplicity, the heavy quarkonium can serve as an ideal theoretical laboratory to ascertain certain features of quasi-DA. In the framework of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, we compute the order-$α_s$ correction to both light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDA) and quasi-DA associated with the lowest-lying quarkonia, with the transverse momentum UV cutoff interpreted as the renormalization scale. We confirm analytically that the quasi-DA of a quarkonium does reduce to the respective LCDA in the infinite-momentum limit. We also observe that, provided that the momentum of a charmonium reaches about 2-3 times its mass, the quasi-DAs already converge to the LCDAs to a decent level. These results might provide some useful guidance for the future lattice study of the quasi distributions.

title: Sustainable, smart lighting using individual controls
Creators: name: Veitch, J. A.
Publisher: name: National Research Council Canada
Year: 2012

description: Exciting advances in lighting technologies will deliver a better future if we apply them intelligently, remembering what we already know about delivering good lighting quality. Among the more persistent questions has been whether providing better lighting has benefits for organizations. Over fifteen years of laboratory and field research enables our research group to answer “yes!” to this question. Laboratory research at NRC and elsewhere demonstrated that people prefer a mixture of direct and indirect lighting that lights the entire workspace and individual personal control over the local lighting level. Working in conditions that one personally prefers leads to the judgement that the space is attractive, better mood, and less visual and physical discomfort. Field investigations have taken this farther, showing that satisfaction with the lit environment predicts greater job satisfaction, greater organizational commitment, lower intent to turnover, and fewer health problems. Moreover, the (fluorescent) installation we studied used over 60% less energy than the system it replaced. These findings are notable because all of the workplace conditions studied are more than merely adequate. LED lighting systems offer the potntial to add individual or automatic controls over light source spectrum to the more familiar possibilities for local dimming, occupancy sensing, and daylight harvesting. Our research program has now turned to examining these possibilities as new control features for LED lighting that will enhance the attractiveness of this new technology; this presentation will include preliminary results. Smart lighting-featuring well-designed controls as well as the best light sources, luminaries, and designs --can benefit individuals, their employers, and the environment, thereby achieving a sustainable future.

For God and His angels or men at their tables?: the context and usage of psalm-singing in francophone Calvinism, 1539-1565
Creators: name: Busman, Joshua K.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: The Genevan Psalter, completed under John Calvin's supervision during the middle decades of the sixteenth century, is arguably one of the greatest achievements in the history of Christian hymnody. From its first Strasbourg publication in 1539 to the complete Genevan psalter of 1562, these simple, vernacular settings of Biblical psalms represent an important and influential body of musical materials, both in the history of Protestantism and in the history of French music writ large. Unfortunately, much of the discussion surrounding the Calvinist tradition of music-making assumes an austere, anti- musical stance that is often (mis)associated with John Calvin's theology. By exploring the intellectual context of Calvin's work as well as comparing a variety of musical settings of one of the most popular metrical psalms (Psalm 9), I hope to present a more complex picture of Calvin and Calvinist musical practice in France in the sixteenth century.

description: Drug metabolites usually have structures of split-ring resonators (SRRs), which might lead to negative permittivity and permeability in electromagnetic field. As a result, in the UV-vis region, the latent fingermarks images of drug addicts and non drug users are inverse. The optical properties of latent fingermarks are quite different between drug addicts and non-drug users. This is a technic superiority for crime scene investigation to distinguish them. In this paper, we calculate the permittivity and permeability of drug metabolites using tight-binding model. The latent fingermarks of smokers and non-smokers are given as an example.

An Efficient Assignment of Drainage Direction Over Flat Surfaces in Raster Digital Elevation Models

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: In processing raster digital elevation models (DEMs) it is often necessary to assign drainage directions over flats---that is, over regions with no local elevation gradient. This paper presents an approach to drainage direction assignment which is not restricted by a flat's shape, number of outlets, or surrounding topography. Flow is modeled by superimposing a gradient away from higher terrain with a gradient towards lower terrain resulting in a drainage field exhibiting flow convergence, an improvement over methods which produce regions of parallel flow. This approach builds on previous work by Garbrecht and Martz (1997), but presents several important improvements. The improved algorithm guarantees that flats are only resolved if they have outlets. The algorithm does not require iterative application; a single pass is sufficient to resolve all flats. The algorithm presents a clear strategy for identifying flats and their boundaries. The algorithm is not susceptible to loss of floating-point precision. Furthermore, the algorithm is efficient, operating in O( N ) time whereas the older algorithm operates in O( N^(3/2) ) time. In testing, the improved algorithm ran 6.5 times faster than the old for a 100 x 100 cell flat and 69 times faster for a 700 x 700 cell flat. In tests on actual DEMs, the improved algorithm finished its processing 38--110 times sooner while running on a single processor than a parallel implementation of the old algorithm did while running on 16 processors. The improved algorithm is an optimal, accurate, easy-to-implement drop-in replacement for the original. Pseudocode is provided in the paper and working source code is provided in the Supplemental Materials.

description: As in the case of soliton PDEs in 2+1 dimensions, the evolutionary form of integrable dispersionless multidimensional PDEs is non-local, and the proper choice of integration constants should be the one dictated by the associated Inverse Scattering Transform (IST). Using the recently made rigorous IST for vector fields associated with the so-called Pavlov equation $v_{xt}+v_{yy}+v_xv_{xy}-v_yv_{xx}=0$, we have recently esatablished that, in the nonlocal part of its evolutionary form $v_{t}= v_{x}v_{y}-\partial^{-1}_{x}\,\partial_{y}\,[v_{y}+v^2_{x}]$, the formal integral $\partial^{-1}_{x}$ corresponding to the solutions of the Cauchy problem constructed by such an IST is the asymmetric integral $-\int_x^{\infty}dx'$. In this paper we show that this results could be guessed in a simple way using a, to the best of our knowledge, novel integral geometry lemma. Such a lemma establishes that it is possible to express the integral of a fairly general and smooth function $f(X,Y)$ over a parabola of the $(X,Y)$ plane in terms of the integrals of $f(X,Y)$ over all straight lines non intersecting the parabola. A similar result, in which the parabola is replaced by the circle, is already known in the literature and finds applications in tomography. Indeed, in a two-dimensional linear tomographic problem with a convex opaque obstacle, only the integrals along the straight lines non-intersecting the obstacle are known, and in the class of potentials $f(X,Y)$ with polynomial decay we do not have unique solvability of the inverse problem anymore. Therefore, for the problem with an obstacle, it is natural not to try to reconstruct the complete potential, but only some integral characteristics like the integral over the boundary of the obstacle. Due to the above two lemmas, this can be done, at the moment, for opaque bodies having as boundary a parabola and a circle (an ellipse).

description: The desirability of increased use of existing residential areas is acknowledged. Anticipating development pressure and community concerns around this issues, the City of Burlington Strategic Plan directed resident involvement in determining appropriate future development. "Intensive care" was needed to provide for community education which could be used to build support to change official plan policies. Consultants designed and implemented an innovative public participation process and assisted staff in the study. The "experiment," emphasizing urban design, has been completed with interesting results. Outlined is a critique of the process, roles of the participants, an analysis of public input and implications for future applications.
description: L'auteur fait état de la demande pour une utilisation plus intensive des quartiers résidentiels. Prévoyant d'une part, une pression en faveur du développement et, d'autre part, les réticences de la population à cet égard, la Ville de Burlington a élaboré un plan stratégique qui intègre le point de vue des habitants sur le développement. Elle a dû apporter un soin particulier à l'éducation de la population en vue d'utiliser celle-ci pour supporter les changements aux les plans officiels. Des consultants ont conçu et implanté un processus de participation du public innovateur et ont aidé les fonctionnaries à réaliser l'étude. L'expérience, qui a mis l'accent sur le design urbain, a donné des résultats intéressants. L'auter critique le processus et le rôle des participants et analyse les commentaires du public ainsi que les possibilités d'application.

Coupling a nano-particle with isothermal fluctuating hydrodynamics: Coarse-graining from microscopic to mesoscopic dynamics

description: We derive a coarse-grained description of the dynamics of a nanoparticle immersed in an isothermal simple fluid by performing a systematic coarse graining of the underlying microscopic dynamics. As coarse-grained or relevant variables we select the position of the nanoparticle and the \emph{total} mass and momentum density field of the fluid, which are locally conserved slow variables because they are defined to include the contribution of the nanoparticle. The theory of coarse graining based on the Zwanzing projection operator leads us to a system of stochastic \emph{ordinary} differential equations (SODEs) that are closed in the relevant variables. We demonstrate that our discrete coarse-grained equations are consistent with a Petrov-Galerkin finite-element discretization of a system of formal stochastic \emph{partial} differential equations (SPDEs) which resemble previously-used phenomenological models based on fluctuating hydrodynamics. Under suitable approximations we obtain \emph{closed} approximations of the coarse-grained dynamics in a manner which gives them a clear physical interpretation, and provides \emph{explicit} microscopic expressions for all of the coefficients appearing in the closure. Our work leads to a model for dilute nanocolloidal suspensions that can be simulated effectively using feasibly short molecular dynamics simulations as input to a FEM fluctuating hydrodynamic solver.

Student use of cell phones in the classroom
Creators: name: Turner, Randi
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Cell phones

description: Even though school rules state that students are not to use their cell phone during class, they still do. A quantitative study was conducted, surveying 54 students to determine the reasons why they use their cell phone during class instead of concentrating on their learning. Participants completed a survey in which they indicated how important a list of 15 possible reasons was to them. Results indicated that students were most likely to use their cell phone during class for social reasons such as to answer an incoming text message. Educational leaders must be aware of student behaviours and attitudes and be prepared to adapt policies as necessary in order to enhance student learning. Future research is suggested as technology advances and new challenges arise.

Dark Energy Parametrization motivated by Scalar Field Dynamics

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We propose a new Dark Energy parametrization based on the dynamics of a scalar field. We use an equation of state w=(x-1)/(x+1), with x=E_k/V, the ratio of kinetic energy E_k=\dotphi^2/2 and potential V. The equation of motion gives x=(L/6)(V/3H^2) and has a solution x=([(1+y)^2+2 L/3]^{1/2}-(1+y))/2 where y\equiv \rmm/V and L= (V'/V)^2 (1+q)^2, q=\ddotphi/V'. The resulting EoS is w=[6+ L- 6 \sqrt((1+y)^2+2L/3)]/(L+6y). Since the universe is accelerating at present time we use the slow roll approximation in which case we have |q|<< 1 and L\simeq (V'/V)^2. However, the derivation of w is exact and has no approximation. By choosing an appropriate ansatz for L we obtain a wide class of behavior for the evolution of Dark Energy without the need to specify the potential V. The EoS w can either grow and later decrease, or other way around, as a function of redshift and it is constraint between -1\leq w\leq 1 as for any canonical scalar field with only gravitational interaction. To determine the dynamics of Dark Energy we calculate the background evolution and its perturbations, since they are important to discriminate between different DE models. Our parametrization follows closely the dynamics of a scalar field scalar fields and the function L allow us to connect it with the potential V(phi) of the scalar field phi.

Moralizing Monsters: Heretics in the Bible Moralisée, Vienna 2554
Creators: name: Grady, Erin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: This thesis examines the early thirteenth-century manuscript Vienna 2554 in order to understand the place of heresy and hybridity in its pages and in its broader cultural context. The approach is founded on concepts of hybridity and monstrosity found in Classical and medieval writers. The thesis argues that the Bible moralisée’s representation of heretics as or alongside monsters reflects the religious and cultural place of unorthodox and heretical groups in thirteenth-century France. It argues that formal innovations and textual irregularities that characterize the manuscript make the book itself a type of hybrid. This thesis suggests that representation of heretics as monsters in their hybridization of doctrine, the formal and textual innovations present in the manuscript, and the recurring theme of the authority of the monarchy over heretics within its boundaries all work together to produce a royal reader emboldened to transgress boundaries in the exercise religious and political authority.
Honouring our stories: Aboriginal primary students sense of belonging in public school classrooms
Creators: name: Leslie, Susan L.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Inclusive education

description: Aboriginal students’ graduation rates are not at par with their non Aboriginal peers in the public school system. This research is an inquiry into the effects of talking circles grounded in the traditional values of listening, mutual respect, speaking from the heart and kindness and cooperation on Aboriginal primary students’ self esteem in a public school Aboriginal Primary Program. A qualitative study was conducted using traditional talking circles honouring students’ and parents’ stories in discussing the effects of talking circles on the children’s self esteem in learning. The four major themes spoken in transcription of the stories were that the talking circles provide a safe environment for students to speak their feelings in conflict resolution, the students feel listened to, respected, honoured and recognized in learning, the students feel a sense of belonging, confidence and pride in learning about their culture and the students become stronger learners, parents become better parents and the talking circles support community building. Results suggest a need for talking circles in all classrooms in public schools and leadership in this direction has begun as a result of this inquiry.
