description: The interactive videodisc is a new communications medium which has great potential for many areas and levels of education. Its advanced technical capabilities such as slow motion, freeze-frame, random access, scan forward and reverse and dual sound track present opportunities for a wide variety of innovative educational programming. The descriptive research of this dissertation describes how the videodisc can be used as a classroom supplement to assist students in the learning process in general and reading readiness in particular. When attached to a microcomputer, the videodisc becomes interactive. This greatly enhances learning because of the videodisc's ability to teach and immediately reinforce, remediate and evaluate on an individualized basis. These features also enable the videodisc to serve as an important diagnostic tool and can help in determining a student's total learning profile. In addition to uses for standard instruction in elementary, secondary and two- and four-year colleges, the videodisc has valuable application for bilingual, special, vocational and continuing education programs as well as study-at-home courses. As the findings of this study indicate, the videodisc could make a significant contribution to the future of education. However, if the videodisc is to receive wide acceptance several specific steps must be taken in the near future or it is unlikely that the videodisc will develop to its complete potential. Most important among these is the investigation of the dynamics of videodisc technology and its acceptance and incorporation into existing curricula.

description: We study the dynamics of a particle in a space that is non-differentiable. Non-smooth geometrical objects have an inherently probabilistic nature and, consequently, introduce stochasticity in the motion of a body that lives in their realm. We use the mathematical concept of fiber bundle to characterize the multivalued nature of geodesic trajectories going through a point that is non-differentiable. Then, we generalize our concepts to everywhere non-smooth structures. The resulting theoretical framework can be considered a hybridization of the theory of surfaces and the theory of stochastic processes. We keep the concepts as general as possible, in order to allow for the introduction of other fundamental processes capable of modeling the fractality or the fluctuations of any conceivable continuous, but non-differentiable space.

description: We study the dynamics of a BEC with a singly quantized vortex, placed in the combined potential of a 1-D (2-D) optical lattice and an axi-symmetric harmonic trap. A time-dependent variational Lagrangian analysis shows that an optical lattice helps to stabilize the vortex which in absence of the optical lattice is unstable. We find that the normal modes are stable only if the depth of the optical potential is more than a certain critical value. This critical value of the optical potential depends on the interaction parameter.In general higher the interaction parameter,lower the value of the optical potential required to stabilize the vortex. The BEC with the singly quantized vortex is found to be relatively more unstable in a 2-D optical lattice compared to a 1-D optical lattice.

description: Several new formulas are developed that enable the evaluation of a family of definite integrals containing the product of two Whittaker W-functions. The integration is performed with respect to the second index, and the first index is permitted to have any complex value, within certain restrictions required for convergence. The method utilizes complex contour integration along with various symmetry relations satisfied by the Whittaker functions. The new results derived in this paper are complementary to the previously known integrals of products of Whittaker functions, which generally treat integration with respect to either the first index or the primary argument. A physical application involving radiative transport is discussed.

description: Agricultural production in South Asia is characterized by intensive use of inputs, such as fertilizers and irrigation water, and by a focus on production of staple crops, especially rice. However, continued growth of the agriculture sector is hampered by a number of challenges. In Bangladesh, these challenges include declining productivity of inputs, resource degradation, and lack of crop diversification. Expansion of agricultural lands is not an option given high population density. Rather, greater efficiency in agricultural production is needed to increase benefits to small producers. This paper examined the benefits of key crop production decisions for rural livelihoods across Bangladesh in order to suggest ways in which producers can increase returns to crop production. The study used plot-level data from a household survey to estimate the relative contribution of various inputs and practices to the total value of production from a given plot over the course of one year. Results were run separately for upper and lower expenditure quintiles to compare production outcomes for richer and poorer households. Three key results emerged: (1) that urea subsidies yielded benefits, though these might not be reaching those that needed it most; (2) that access to groundwater resulted in better production outcomes than access to surface water; and (3) that returns were greater from plots where rice was rotated with other crops.

description: Understanding the nature and extent of climatic impacts on agricultural productivity under a variety of scenarios is extremely important for developing countries, where a sizable portion of the population relies on agriculture for life and livelihood. Thus, this paper presents evidence of heterogeneity in climatic impacts on crop yield in Assam, India. In particular, applying the non-parametric quantile regression technique to district-level data from 1978 to 2005, this study examined heterogeneity in the impacts of temperature and rainfall across seasonal rice varieties (autumn, winter, and summer), agroclimatic (AC) zones, and the distribution of rice yield. The results suggested that, in general, the effects of temperature on yield were not statistically significant for any of the three seasonal rice varieties. However, these effects were not uniform in their magnitudes, signs, and statistical significance across AC zones and yield distribution for each variety of rice. Similarly, there were wide variations in the effects of total precipitation across seasonal varieties, AC zones, and yield distribution. The results also suggested that an increase in temperature variability is beneficial and that rainfall variability is harmful to autumn and winter rice yield. For summer rice, the effects of these two climate variables were positive but statistically insignificant. Given the importance of rice yield for food security and poverty alleviation in Assam, these results could inform the design of appropriate adaptation strategies and public policies to counter the adverse impacts of climate change on agriculture in Assam. Furthermore, since most people in rural areas are engaged in agriculture, these results are important for the sustainability of rural economies.

description: Measuring the similarity between data points often requires domain knowledge, which can in parts be compensated by relying on unsupervised methods such as latent-variable models, where similarity/distance is estimated in a more compact latent space. Prevalent is the use of the Euclidean metric, which has the drawback of ignoring information about similarity of data stored in the decoder, as captured by the framework of Riemannian geometry. We propose an extension to the framework of variational auto-encoders allows learning flat latent manifolds, where the Euclidean metric is a proxy for the similarity between data points. This is achieved by defining the latent space as a Riemannian manifold and by regularising the metric tensor to be a scaled identity matrix. Additionally, we replace the compact prior typically used in variational auto-encoders with a recently presented, more expressive hierarchical one---and formulate the learning problem as a constrained optimisation problem. We evaluate our method on a range of data-sets, including a video-tracking benchmark, where the performance of our unsupervised approach nears that of state-of-the-art supervised approaches, while retaining the computational efficiency of straight-line-based approaches.

description: Weather factors, like other inputs such as land, labor, seeds, irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticides are also direct inputs in crop production. In a state of agriculture where the adoption and diffusion of modern technologies is very low or almost nil, weather factors count more than other inputs because of their direct and indirect effects. Thus, the link between weather and crop yield will have implications on food supply and crop forecasting and management policies. It is of immense importance to the policymakers, agricultural scientists, agricultural economists, and meteorologists to understand this relationship. The methodology for studying this relationship has undergone many improvements over time. This paper attempts to review the studies in this area done in India and a few from abroad that brought an evolution in the methodology of crop-weather modeling.

description: Within a quantum molecular dynamics model we calculate the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE), density fluctuation and mass distribution of fragments for a series of nuclear systems at different initial temperatures. It is found that the $LLE$ peaks at the temperature ("critical temperature") where the density fluctuation reaches a maximal value and the mass distribution of fragments is best fitted by the Fisher's power law from which the critical exponents for mass and charge distribution are obtained. The time-dependent behavior of the LLE and density fluctuation is studied. We find that the time scale of the density fluctuation is much longer than the inverse LLE, which indicates that the chaotic motion can be well developed during the process of fragment formation. The finite-size effect on "critical temperature" for nuclear systems ranging from Calcium to superheavy nuclei is also studied.

description: The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect, a condensed matter analog of the parity anomaly, is characterized by a quantized Hall conductivity in the absence of an external magnetic field. However, it has been recently shown that, even in the presence of Landau levels, the QAH effect can be distinguished from the conventional quantum Hall (QH) effect due to the parity anomaly. As a signature of this effect, we predicted coexistent counterpropagating QAH and QH edge states. In the present work, we generalize these findings to QAH insulators with broken particle-hole symmetry. In particular, we derive the connection to the spectral asymmetry, which is a topological quantity arising in the context of Dirac-like systems. Moreover, it is shown that, depending on the magnetic field direction, particle-hole asymmetry strengthens or weakens the hybridization of the counterpropagating QH and QAH edge states. Implications for ferro- or paramagnetic topological insulators are derived which paves the way towards identifying signatures of the QAH effect even in external magnetic fields.

description: This study was conducted to profile the fish farm owners/operators (known as fish farmers) at the Marilao-Meycauayan-Obando River System (MMORS) and to determine their current fish farm management practices (FFMPs) and concerns encountered in fish farming. Characterizing the fish farmers enabled the formulation of appropriate adaptation interventions that may serve as inputs for management strategies and rehabilitation efforts to address water pollution. In doing so, sustainable fish production could be assured. Focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and a survey were conducted. The survey sampling size was proportionally allocated among municipalities covered in this study. Half of the respondents were full-time fish farmers and received an estimated monthly income of USD 125–250. The majority (60%) managed small ponds (4 ha and below), which were used for rearing and nursery or rearing and transition of fingerlings or fry. Many rented fish farms through lease agreement with private owners (78%); they mostly grew milkfish (74%) and tilapia (41%), but a few also raised prawns (18%) and shrimps (12%). The fish farmers’ major issues include flooding due to changing climate patterns (74), water pollution (21), and presence of invasive species (20). Their adaptation strategies include technological changes including FFMPs. However, institutional arrangements are crucial to ensure sustainability and productivity. The study recommends the adoption of an integrated social-technological approach called CARE solution, which refer to Community Action by organizing the fishery sector; long-term Rehabilitation by integrating efforts of all stakeholders through the MMO Water Quality Management Area Board; and Enforcement of environmental laws. This approach is congruent with the Ecosystem Approach for Aquaculture that integrates ecosystem, human well-being and equity, and incorporates other sectors for aquaculture development and management. The fish farm management baseline study results could be an input in developing specific interventions using the CARE solution framework in the MMORS cleanup and rehabilitation. This approach could help in the design of interventions that aim to achieve enhanced socio-ecological health and ecosystem services for improved and sustained socioeconomic productivity.
A study of television as an educational tool in armed forces training activities

description: The armed forces have experimented in the use of television in their training programs and have found it to be an effective training medium. They are currently introducing television into the classroom as a practical teaching aid. However, efforts to affect broad inter-service dissemination and wide utilization of educational television techniques have been far from adequate. Research results and experience in educational television that will lead to increased learning, have not to a sufficient degree been brought to the attention of those closest to the learner -- the teacher. It was therefore decided to study this new field of television teaching, explore the results of experimentation and application from a civilian as well as the military training standpoint and to report these findings in a form readily assimilated and adaptable to those who have an interest in teaching this medium.

description: We investigate the photon statistics of a single-photon source that operates under non-stationary conditions. The photons are emitted by shining a periodic sequence of laser pulses on single atoms falling randomly through a high-finesse optical cavity. Strong antibunching is found in the intensity correlation of the emitted light, demonstrating that a single atom emits photons one-by-one. However, the number of atoms interacting with the cavity follows a Poissonian statistics so that, on average, no sub-Poissonian photon statistics is obtained, unless the measurement is conditioned on the presence of single atoms.

description: Seeing and recognizing an object whose size is much smaller than the illumination wavelength is a challenging task for an observer placed in the far field, due to the diffraction limit. Recent advances in near and far field microscopy have offered several ways to overcome this limitation; however, they often use invasive markers and require intricate equipment with complicated image post-processing. On the other hand, a simple marker-free solution for high-resolution imaging may be found by exploiting resonant metamaterial lenses that can convert the subwavelength image information contained in the near-field of the object to propagating field components that can reach the far field. Unfortunately, resonant metalenses are inevitably sensitive to absorption losses, which has so far largely hindered their practical applications. Here, we solve this vexing problem and show that this limitation can be turned into an advantage when metalenses are combined with deep learning techniques. We demonstrate that combining deep learning with lossy metalenses allows recognizing and imaging largely subwavelength features directly from the far field. Our acoustic learning experiment shows that, despite being thirty times smaller than the wavelength of sound, the fine details of images can be successfully reconstructed and recognized in the far field, which is crucially enabled by the presence of absorption. We envision applications in acoustic image analysis, feature detection, object classification, or as a novel noninvasive acoustic sensing tool in biomedical applications.

description: Contract farming is becoming a viable form of partnership between tea plantation companies and local farmers in the management of tea plantations. This study aimed to: (1) describe a contract farming pattern through the system of intercropping tea-horticulture, (2) analyze the efficiency of the management of tea garden with contract farming, and (3) describe the benefits and sustainability of the contract farming between Gambung Estate and horticultural farmers. The case study was conducted in Gambung Estate using qualitative descriptive analysis and contract farming scheme analysis. The study observed that the contract farming patterns applied was a modified nucleus estate model with a combination of resource provisioning cooperation with production management cooperation. The challenges for future contract farming include land management, new skill transfer, climate change, and shared risk and effort between the two parties so that the bargaining position of horticultural farmers will be increased in the sustainable tea plantation management framework. Value of investment efficiency was 47 percent for new planting and 49 percent for replanting. The highest R/C and B/C values were given to the intercropping system of tea-chili at 2:25 and 1:25, respectively.

description: The small-scale turbulent dynamo in the high Prandtl number regime is described in terms of the one-point Fourier space correlators. The second order correlator of this kind is the energy spectrum and it has been previously studied in detail. We examine the higher order k-space correlators which contain important information about the phases of the magnetic wavepackets and about the dominant structures of the magnetic turbulence which cause intermittency. In particular, the fourth-order correlators contain information about the mean-square phase difference between any two components of the magnetic field in a plane transverse to the wavevector. This can be viewed as a measure of the magnetic field's polarization. Examining this new quantity, the magnetic field is shown to become plane polarized in the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model at large time, corresponding to a strong deviation from Gaussianity. We derive a closed equation for the generating function of the Fourier correlators and find the large-time asymptotic solutions of these correlators at all orders. The time scaling of these solutions implies the magnetic field has log-normal statistics, whereas the wavenumber scaling indicates that the field is dominated by intermittent fluctuations at high k.

Lieb-Liniger Bosons in a Shallow Quasiperiodic Potential: Bose Glass Phase and Fractal Mott Lobes

description: The emergence of a compressible insulator phase, known as the Bose glass, is characteristic of the interplay of interactions and disorder in correlated Bose fluids. While widely studied in tight-binding models, its observation remains elusive owing to stringent temperature effects. Here we show that this issue may be overcome by using Lieb-Liniger bosons in shallow quasiperiodic potentials. A Bose glass, surrounded by superfluid and Mott phases, is found above a critical potential and for finite interactions. At finite temperature, we show that the melting of the Mott lobes is characteristic of a fractal structure and find that the Bose glass is robust against thermal fluctuations up to temperatures accessible in quantum gases. Our results raise questions about the universality of the Bose glass transition in such shallow quasiperiodic potentials.

description: The study was conducted to determine the weight of factors influencing landslides through the algorithm Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). These factors were used as inputs for establishing a landslide susceptibility map based on the geographic information technologies (GIS) at A Luoi District, Thua Thien Hue province. Results of the study showed that landslide risk could be divided into five levels: very low risk of landslide covered 17,638.22 ha (14%), low risk areas accounted for 41,036.20 ha (34%), medium risk of landslide covered an area of 22,380.84 ha (18%), high risk area was 27,176.99 ha (22.19%), and very high risk area was about 14,231 ha (12%). The results of this study could be used to support the implementation of land use planning, which could help reduce adverse impact of landslides on people and property.

description: The educators who are interested in liberal education have been concerned for some time about the lack of interest and the resultant decline in the study of foreign languages in American secondary schools and colleges. The increasing demand for special training for the vocations combined with the general emphasis and pressure of courses in general education has apparently limited the offering of language courses. In addition the small amount of time allotted to languages--two or three years in the secondary schools, and two years in college, usually three times a week--has compelled the desired objectives to be reduced to one, the ability to read the language.

description: Fully quantal calculations of the total reaction cross sections \sigR and interaction cross sections \sigI, induced by stable and unstable He, Li, C and O isotopes on $^{12}$C target at $E_{\rm lab}\approx 0.8$ and 1 GeV/nucleon have been performed, for the first time, in the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) using the microscopic \emph{complex} optical potential and inelastic form factors given by the folding model. Realistic nuclear densities for the projectiles and $^{12}$C target as well as the complex $t$-matrix parameterization of free nucleon-nucleon interaction by Franey and Love were used as inputs of the folding calculation. Our \emph{parameter-free} folding + DWIA approach has been shown to give a very good account (within 1--2%) of the experimental \sigI measured at these energies for the stable, strongly bound isotopes. With the antisymmetrization of the dinuclear system properly taken into account, this microscopic approach is shown to be more accurate than the simple optical limit of Glauber model that was widely used to infer the nuclear radii from the measured \sigI. Therefore, the results obtained for the nuclear radii of neutron-rich isotopes under study can be of interest for further nuclear structure studies.

description: Single top-quark production in association with a $Z$ boson is measured in the trilepton channel. The proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment from 2015 to 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 $\text{fb}^{-1}$. Events containing three isolated charged leptons (electrons or muons) and two or three jets, one of which is identified as containing a $b$-hadron, are selected. The main backgrounds are from $t\bar{t}Z$ and diboson production. Neural networks are used to improve the background rejection and extract the signal. The measured cross-section for $t\ell^{+}\ell^{-} q$ production, including non-resonant dilepton pairs with $m_{\ell^+\ell^-} > 30$ GeV, is 97 $\pm$ 13 (stat.) $\pm$ 7 (syst.) fb, consistent with the Standard Model prediction.
