Toward a model of intercultural contact in an international SLA setting
Creators: name: Culhane, Stephen F.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study focuses on intercultural contact experiences of English as a Second Language students in a study-abroad context. A model is proposed in the study to connect student pre-sojourn expectations with interaction and friendship patterns in first (LI) and second languages (L2), and attitudes toward acculturation. A triangulated research design is employed, involving Multivariate ANOVA and Multiple Regression analyses of questionnaire data, as well as qualitative analysis of student interview transcripts. Questionnaire responses from 140 advanced ESL students are used in analyses of variance to examine relationships between LI and L2 use, language use in student friendship patterns, and student attitudes toward both acculturation and cultural diversity. Regression analysis is used to determine the amount of variance in attitudes toward cultural diversity accountable by four predictor variables: previous intercultural experience, pre-sojourn knowledge of the host society, attitudes toward interacting with members of a student's home society, and attitudes toward interacting with members of the host society. Results of the analyses of variance indicate a positive relationship between LI and L2 use and friendship patterns; language use and attitudes toward interaction with home and host groups; and to a lesser extent, a correlation between each of these, and attitudes toward cultural diversity. Results from the regression analysis found about 26% of the variance in attitudes toward cultural diversity accounted for by the four predictor variables. Analyses of student interviews added to these findings by providing personal examples of sojourner acculturation. Paths laid out in the proposed model were reflected in many instances, but areas where the model can be improved were also suggested. Based on the findings, it is concluded that attitudes sojourners hold toward people they interact with in a host setting significantly impact on their opportunities for acquiring greater proficiency in an L2 and second culture (C2). Student reactions toward cultural diversity of the host setting were shown to relate to language use, friendship patterns, and motivations for contact with home and host groups. The results suggest experiences during a sojourn can enhance or modify attitudes toward people from diverse cultures and speakers of different languages. It is also suggested that sojourners with more tolerant attitudes are likely to show a greater tendency to engage in interactions within the L2, and, therefore, to have a greater likelihood of being successful in acquiring competence in the L2 and C2.

description: In this paper, we try to evaluate the change in welfare gains and their distribution due to trade liberalization when imperfect information is considered. The results of two versions of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, using GTAP database and representing goods as well as capital flows, are compared. In the first one, a standard world CGE approach is followed. In the second version we include risk aversion, imperfect information and production lag in the agricultural sector. After a brief description of the two versions, changes in welfare, represented by the income of two types of household (middle-low and middle-high) in three regions (Europe, United States, Rest of the World) after agricultural trade liberalization are presented. Theoretical and political consequences of the results are discussed.

Visual Intelligence For GUI Automation And Beyond
Creators: name: Xie, Mulong
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: The revolutionary advancement of computing hardware and information technology deeply reform the means of interaction between electronic devices and humans. Evolving from the esoteric textual Command-Line Interface (CLI), the Graphical User Interface (GUI) that leverages graphical elements to convey information and provide intuitive access to the underlying system has dominated the form of human-device interface. Meanwhile, the development of GUI involves various specific processes and grows into an independent subject that contains a plethora of problems requiring thorough studies. The research field of software engineering thus has paid increasing attention to tackling these problems through data-driven investigation and automation, which aims to facilitate or automate the repetitive work in certain GUI development phases, including requirement, design, programming and testing. In this process, the intelligence to perceive and analyze GUI data and then perform adaptive behaviour is necessitated. In particular, the visual intelligence based on GUI image imitates how humans view the GUI and provides a more universal way for the GUI automation tools to achieve their goals without the dependency of the underlying system. However, due to the particular characteristics of GUI, many of the advanced techniques in other disciplines (e.g., computer vision, machine learning) are not suitable to be readily applied, while the GUI-specific visual approach still requires more research to handle complicated cases. Therefore, we introduce the GUI visual intelligence to address the challenges from GUI widget detection ("seeing") to GUI perceptual grouping ("understanding"), and we apply the intelligence to two classic GUI automation tasks ("acting"), including the image-to-code generation and automated testing. Furthermore, beyond the normal GUI, we also utilize the visual intelligence to build an online-form generator that converts the paper form or electronic form into an interactive online form with rich accessibility features to ease the filling process, which demonstrates the potential of the visual intelligence in wider fields.

Pion Electromagnetic Form Factor in the $K_T$ Factorization Formulae

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Based on the light-cone (LC) framework and the $k_T$ factorization formalism, the transverse momentum effects and the different helicity components' contributions to the pion form factor $F_π(Q^2)$ are recalculated. In particular, the contribution to the pion form factor from the higher helicity components ($λ_1+λ_2=\pm 1$), which come from the spin-space Wigner rotation, are analyzed in the soft and hard energy regions respectively. Our results show that the right power behavior of the hard contribution from the higher helicity components can only be obtained by fully keeping the $k_T$ dependence in the hard amplitude, and that the $k_T$ dependence in LC wavefunction affects the hard and soft contributions substantially. A model for the twist-3 wavefunction $ψ_p(x,\mathbf{k_\perp})$ of the pion has been constructed based on the moment calculation by applying the QCD sum rules, whose distribution amplitude has a better end-point behavior than that of the asymptotic one. With this model wavefunction, the twist-3 contributions including both the usual helicity components ($λ_1+λ_2=0$) and the higher helicity components ($λ_1+λ_2=\pm 1$) to the pion form factor have been studied within the modified pQCD approach. Our results show that the twist-3 contribution drops fast and it becomes less than the twist-2 contribution at $Q^2\sim 10GeV^2$. The higher helicity components in the twist-3 wavefunction will give an extra suppression to the pion form factor. When all the power contributions, which include higher order in $α_s$, higher helicities, higher twists in DA and etc., have been taken into account, it is expected that the hard contributions will fit the present experimental data well at the energy region where pQCD is applicable.

description: When public goods are joint outputs of agricultural production, there is a trade-off between agricultural and non-agricultural provision of the public good. The principle of minimal price distortion in the reform of agricultural policies has led to a theoretical recommendation that public goods, if under-provided at agricultural free market level, should be promoted through non agricultural policies instead of agricultural policies. We show that the economies of scope between the agricultural production and the joint public good play a key role in determining the optimal way of providing this latter. If the policy designed is a non-agricultural policy, the production cost of the public good is higher than with an agricultural policy. If the policy designed is an agricultural policy, the production cost is lower but generates market effects. Under the assumption of strictly positive economies of scope, we show that the optimal policy is a mix of agricultural and non-agricultural policy. We confirm this result in the two-country case, demonstrating the optimal level of agricultural support for public good provision is strictly positive and lower than in the case of one country.

description: We analyse the evolving pattern of Hungary's agri-food trade using recently developed empirical procedures based on the classic Balassa index and its symmetric transformation. The extent of trade specialisation exhibits a declining trend; Hungary lost comparative advantage for a number of product groups over the 1990s. The indices of specialisation have also tended to converge. For particular product groups, the picture is mixed: indices are reasonably stable for product groups with comparative disadvantage, but those with weak to strong comparative advantage show significant variation. The results reinforce the finding of a general decrease in specialisation, but do not support the idea of self-reinforcing mechanisms, emphasised strongly in much of the endogenous growth and trade literature.
New seismological results on the G0 IV eta Bootis

description: Several attempts have been made to detect solar-like oscillations in the G0 IV star eta Boo. We present here new observations on this star simultaneously conducted with two spectrographs: Coralie mounted on the 1.2-m Swiss telescope at the ESO La Silla Observatory (Chile) and Elodie based on the 1.93-m telescope at the Observatoire de Haute Provence (France). In total, 1239 spectra were collected over 13 nights. The power spectrum of the high precision velocity time series clearly presents several identifiable peaks between 0.4 and 1.0 mHz showing regularity with a large and small separations of Delta_nu = 39.9 uHz and delta_nu02 = 3.95 uHz respectively. Twenty-two individual frequencies have been identified. Detailed models based on these measurements and non-asteroseismic observables were computed using the Geneva evolution code including shellular rotation and atomic diffusion. By combining these seismological data with non-asteroseismic observations, we determine the following global parameters for eta Boo: a mass of 1.57 +- 0.07 M_sol, an age t=2.67 +- 0.10 Gyr and an initial metallicity Z/X_i=0.0391 +- 0.0070. We also show that the mass of eta Boo is very sensitive to the choice of the observed metallicity, while the age of eta Boo depends on the input physics used. Indeed, a higher metallicity favours a higher mass, while non-rotating models without overshooting predict a smaller age.

description: We study the bound-state solutions of vanishing angular momentum in a quaternionic spherical square-well potential of finite depth. As in the standard quantum mechanics, such solutions occur for discrete values of energies. At first glance, it seems that the continuity conditions impose a very restrictive constraint on the energy eigenvalues and, consequently, no bound states was expected for energy values below the pure quaternionic potential. Nevertheless, a careful analysis shows that pure quaternionic potentials do not remove bound states. It is also interesting to compare these new solutions with the bound state solutions of the trial-complex potential. The study presented in this paper represents a preliminary step towards a full understanding of the role that quaternionic potentials could play in quantum mechanics. Of particular interest for the authors it is the analysis of confined wave packets and tunnelling times in this new formulation of quantum theory.

description: As a consequence of Kirchberg's work, Connes' Embedding Conjecture is equivalent to the property that every homomorphism of the group $F_\infty\times F_\infty$ into the unitary group $U(\ell^2)$ with the strong topology is pointwise approximated by homomorphisms with a precompact range. In this form, the property (which we call Kirchberg's property) makes sense for an arbitrary topological group. We establish the validity of the Kirchberg property for the isometry group $Iso(U)$ of the universal Urysohn metric space $U$ as a consequence of a stronger result: every representation of a residually finite group by isometries of $U$ can be pointwise approximated by representations with a finite range. This brings up the natural question of which other concrete infinite-dimensional groups satisfy the Kirchberg property.

Systems in this category include those involving spin-orbit interactions and the Jaynes-Cummings model in which a single electromagnetic mode interacts with many independent two-level atoms. We construct a path integral representation for the propagator of such systems and derive its semiclassical limit. As special cases we consider separable systems, the limit of very large spins and the case of spin 1/2.

We sample several values of the local interaction $U_d$ and of the Cu-O energy difference $E_{pd}$, by applying an external field that induces loop currents. We find no instance of spontaneous loop currents once the external field is brought to zero.

description: This paper brings time series techniques to bear on the relationships between the prices of the principal types of wheat traded internationally. In all, the relationships between eleven wheat prices (categorised by wheat quality, harvest date and port of despatch) are scrutinised to uncover the structure of the wheat market implicit in the behaviour its prices reveal. The statistical evidence supports the notion of a highly integrated market that is segmented according to wheat strength-the principal determinant of end-use. Three segments are identified: a market for 'strong' (bread-making) wheat, another for 'weak' (confectionary products-making) wheat and a third for medium strength wheat suitable for unleavened breads and noodles. Whilst informative, market integration - detected by cointegration among prices - is not altogether surprising, yet the presence of cointegration implies a causal structure, which is of more cogent interest. Among a number of complementary techniques, linkages are uncovered using an innovative concept of irreducible cointegration vectors (Davidson 1998, Barassi et al 2001) which provides new evidence on price linkages. Statistical evidence is robust and not test-dependent. Specifically, we find a dominant price leader in each sub-market. In terms of its pricing, the EU is found to play a passive role in the world market, confirming a widely held view.

Recovery and recrystallization behaviour of AA5754 and IF-Boron steel during annealing
Creators: name: Go, Johnson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A microstructure model to predict the mechanical properties during annealing has been developed for two important classifications of industrial processed automotive alloys: aluminum-magnesium AA5754 alloy and boron-containing interstitial free steel. The model adopts a rule of mixture to capture the overall softening due to recovery and recrystallization based on the assumption that these two processes proceed independently. The internal state variable approach is employed in the mathematical formulation of the model. The Kuhlmann and Cottrell/Aytekin recovery model and the JMAK recrystallization model are used to capture the time evolution of dislocation density and fraction recrystallized, respectively. The required kinetic parameters are determined from isothermal tests. Isothermal annealing models are developed and validated against data obtained from continuous heating experiments. Experimentally, tensile and hardness tests are carried out in conjunction with quantitative metallography to quantify the kinetics of recovery and recrystallization. The model accurately predicts the microstructural and yield stress evolution in AA5754 under isothermal and non-isothermal annealing conditions. For IF-boron steel, however, the current modelling approach is too simple to capture the complexity involved in the recrystallization process. Consequently, the model for IF-boron steel is considered as purely empirical in nature.

description: A new model of a symmetric two-terminal non-volatile RRAM device based on Perovskite oxide thin film materials, specifically Pr1-xCaxMnO3 (PCMO), is proposed and analyzed. The model consists of two identical half-parts, which are completely characterized by the same resistance verses pulse voltage hysteresis loop, connected together in series. Even though the modeled device is physically symmetric with respect to the direction of current, it is found to exhibit switching of the resistance with the application of voltage pulses of sufficient amplitude and of different polarities. The apparent breakdown of parity conservation of the device is attributed to changes in resistance of the active material layer near the electrodes during switching. Thus the switching is history dependent, a feature that can be very useful for the construction of real non-volatile memory devices. An actual symmetric device, not previously reported in the literature and based on the proposed model, is fabricated in the PCMO material system. Measurements of the resistance of this new device generated an experimental hysteresis curve that matches well the calculated hysteresis curve of the model, thus confirming the features predicated by the new symmetric model.

description: We define smoothed Wilson loop operators on a four dimensional lattice and check numerically that they have a finite and nontrivial continuum limit. The continuum operators maintain their character as unitary matrices and undergo a phase transition at infinite N reflected by the eigenvalue distribution closing a gap in its spectrum when the defining smooth loop is dilated from a small size to a large one. If this large N phase transition belongs to a solvable universality class one might be able to calculate analytically the string tension in terms of the perturbative Lambda-parameter. This would be achieved by matching instanton results for small loops to the relevant large-N-universal function which, in turn, would be matched for large loops to an effective string theory. Similarities between our findings and known analytical results in two dimensional space-time indicate that the phase transitions we found only affect the eigenvalue distribution, but the traces of finite powers of the Wilson loop operators stay smooth under scaling.

description: We prove the Kirillov-Reshetikhin conjecture for all untwisted quantum affine algebras : we prove that the character of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules solve the Q-system and we give an explicit formula for the character of their tensor products. In the proof we show that the Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules are special in the sense of monomials and that their q-characters solve the T-system (functional relations appearing in the study of solvable lattice models). Moreover we prove that the T-system can be written in the form of an exact sequence. For simply-laced cases, these results were proved by Nakajima with geometric arguments which are not available in general. The proof we use is different and purely algebraic, and so can be extended uniformly to non simply-laced cases.

description: The performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) is substantially influenced by the pretraining corpus, which consists of vast quantities of unsupervised data processed by the models. Despite its critical role in model performance, ensuring the quality of this data is challenging due to its sheer volume and the absence of sample-level quality annotations and enhancements. In this paper, we introduce DecorateLM, a data engineering method designed to refine the pretraining corpus through data rating, tagging and editing. Specifically, DecorateLM rates texts against quality criteria, tags texts with hierarchical labels, and edits texts into a more formalized format. Due to the massive size of the pretraining corpus, adopting an LLM for decorating the entire corpus is less efficient. Therefore, to balance performance with efficiency, we curate a meticulously annotated training corpus for DecorateLM using a large language model and distill data engineering expertise into a compact 1.2 billion parameter small language model (SLM). We then apply DecorateLM to enhance 100 billion tokens of the training corpus, selecting 45 billion tokens that exemplify high quality and diversity for the further training of another 1.2 billion parameter LLM. Our results demonstrate that employing such high-quality data can significantly boost model performance, showcasing a powerful approach to enhance the quality of the pretraining corpus.

description: The bijectivity of the mapping, which is represented as expectation, from a family of Gaussian measures parametrized by linear combinations of Dirac measures to the space of classical reflectionless potentials is shown. It is also shown that the bijectivity extends to the space of generalized reflectionless potentials, which was used by V. Marchenko to study the Cauchy problem for the KdV equation. In the extension, the stochastic calculus based on the Brownian sheet plays a key role.

description: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States. Most colorectal cancers start as a growth on the inner lining of the colon or rectum, called 'polyp'. Not all polyps are cancerous, but some can develop into cancer. Early detection and recognition of the type of polyps is critical to prevent cancer and change outcomes. However, visual classification of polyps is challenging due to varying illumination conditions of endoscopy, variant texture, appearance, and overlapping morphology between polyps. More importantly, evaluation of polyp patterns by gastroenterologists is subjective leading to a poor agreement among observers. Deep convolutional neural networks have proven very successful in object classification across various object categories. In this work, we compare the performance of the state-of-the-art general object classification models for polyp classification. We trained a total of six CNN models end-to-end using a dataset of 157 video sequences composed of two types of polyps: hyperplastic and adenomatous. Our results demonstrate that the state-of-the-art CNN models can successfully classify polyps with an accuracy comparable or better than reported among gastroenterologists. The results of this study can guide future research in polyp classification.

description: Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of rutile Ti1-xCoxO2-d is systematically examined with various x and d to reveal a phase diagram for the appearance of ferromagnetism at higher carrier concentration and Co content. The phase diagram exactly matches with that determined from anomalous Hall effect (AHE). The magnetic field dependence of MCD also shows good coincidence with those of the magnetization and AHE. The coincidence of these independent measurements strongly suggests single and intrinsic ferromagnetic origin.

description: The estimation of allocative and technical inefficiency has grown to an enormous body of literature, both theoretical and empirical. Ideally, one would estimate time-varying firm and input-specific parameters describing allocative inefficiency in order to minimize aggregation bias. However, this has never been previously accomplished. Typically, only industry-wide allocative efficiency parameters have been empirically identified. Our proposed solution is to employ Gibbs sampling to approximate posterior distributions from a Bayesian limited information model, embedding GMM moment conditions imposed via an instrumental variables step to obtain plant-specific parameters estimates that vary flexibly over time. For a panel of Chilean hydroelectric power plants, posterior distributions of these estimates display substantial differences in location and precision. By contrast, the standard GMM approach which produces industry-wide, time-varying allocative inefficiency parameters, not only fails to reveal the inter-plant differences by construction, but does not even produce posterior medians that approximate a weighted average of the plant-specific posterior medians.

description: We investigate parity-violating electroweak asymmetries in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons off protons within the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model ($χ$QSM). We use as input the former results of the electromagnetic and strange form factors and newly calculated SU(3) axial-vector form factors, all evaluated with the same set of four parameters adjusted several years ago to general mesonic and baryonic properties. Based on this scheme, which yields positive electric and magnetic strange form factors with a $μ_s=(0.08-0.13)μ_N$, we determine the parity-violating asymmetries of elastic polarized electron-proton scattering. The results are in a good agreement with the data of the A4, HAPPEX, and SAMPLE experiments and reproduce the full $Q^2$-range of the G0-data. We also predict the parity-violating asymmetries for the backward G0 experiment.

Augmented reality

description: Augmented reality is an innovative method that scientists have turned to in recent years. The majority of research that has been conducted to date on the use of Augmented Reality in education has focused on cognitive science and science subjects. This paper focuses on research that has been conducted on the pedagogical value of augmented reality for children with autism. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether augmented reality can contribute positively and improve the areas that lag behind children belonging to the autism spectrum. The method used in the present work is qualitative and focuses on the literature review and research study. The results of this study are that the augmented reality in the field of special education is at an early stage but contributes effectively to the improvement of these children. It is therefore proposed to conduct more extensive research to yield more valid results.

A new perturbative approach to the adiabatic approximation

description: A new and intuitive perturbative approach to time-dependent quantum mechanics problems is presented, which is useful in situations where the evolution of the Hamiltonian is slow. The state of a system which starts in an instantaneous eigenstate of the initial Hamiltonian is written as a power series which has a straightforward diagrammatic representation. Each term of the series corresponds to a sequence of "adiabatic" evolutions, during which the system remains in an instantaneous eigenstate of the Hamiltonian, punctuated by transitions from one state to another. The first term of this series is the standard adiabatic evolution, the next is the well-known first correction to it, and subsequent terms can be written down essentially by inspection. Although the final result is perhaps not terribly surprising, it seems to be not widely known, and the interpretation is new, as far as we know. Application of the method to the adiabatic approximation is given, and some discussion of the validity of this approximation is presented.

description: Computer-Aided Drug Design is advancing to a new era. Recent developments in statistical modelling, including Deep Learning, Machine Learning and high throughput simulations, enable workflows and deductions not achievable 20 years ago. The key interaction for many small molecules is via bio-molecules. The interaction between a small molecule and a biological system therefore manifests itself at multiple time and length scales. While the human chemist quite intuitively grasps the concept of multiple scales, most of the computer technologies do not relate multiple scales easily. Therefore, numerous methods in the realm of computational sciences have been developed. However, up to now it was not clear that the problem of multiple scales is not only a mere matter of computational abilities but even more a matter of accurate representation. Because of the amount of already performed simulations at various scales, deep learning (DL) becomes a viable approach to speed up computations by approximating simulations in a data-driven way. However, to accurately approximate the physical (simulated) properties of a given compound, an accurate, uniform representation is mandatory. Therefore, the biochemical and pharmaceutical encoder (CARATE) is introduced. Furthermore, the regression and classification abilities of CARATE are evaluated against benchmarking datasets (ZINC, ALCHEMY, MCF-7, MOLT-4, YEAST, Enzymes, Proteins) and compared to other baseline approaches.
