description: We present the capability of Lagrangian descriptors for revealing the high dimensional phase space structures that are of interest in nonlinear Hamiltonian systems with index-1 saddle. These phase space structures include normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds and their stable and unstable manifolds, and act as codimenision-1 barriers to phase space transport. The method is applied to classical two and three degrees-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems which have implications for myriad applications in physics and chemistry.

description: We present 12CO(J=2->1) and CO(J=3->2) observations of quiescent Virgo Cluster spiral galaxies with the KOSMA 3m submm telescope. The beam sizes of 80" at 345 GHz and 120" at 230 GHz are well suited for the investigation of global properties of Virgo Cluster galaxies. The observed sample was selected based on previous 12CO(J=1->0) detections by Stark et al. (1986), performed with the AT&T Bell Laboratory 7m telescope (beam size 100"). We were able to detect 18 spiral galaxies in 12CO(2->1) and 16 in 12CO(3->2). Beam matched observations of the lowest three 12CO transitions allow us to compare our results with previous high spatial resolution studies of (moderate) starburst galaxies and galactic core regions. We discuss the global excitation conditions of the ISM in these quiescent spiral galaxies. The resulting CO (3--2)/(1--0) integrated line ratios vary over a relatively narrow range of values from 0.35 to 0.14 (on a K km/s-scale) with increasing CO (2--1)/(1--0) ratio (from 0.5 to 1.1). The line ratios between the three lowest rotational transitions of CO cannot be fitted by any radiative transfer model with a single source component. A two-component model, assuming a warm, dense nuclear and a cold, less dense disc component allows us to fit the observed line ratios for most of the galaxies individually by selecting suitable parameters. The two-component model, however, fails to explain the observed correlation of the line ratios. This is due to a variation of the relative filling factor of the warm gas alone, assuming a typical set of parameters for the two components common for all galaxies.

description: The call to improve undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education can be answered by undergraduate faculty modifying their course content and teaching methods to generate better student outcomes. The National Geoscience Faculty Survey—administered in 2004, 2009, 2012, and 2016—provides evidence that the vast majority of geoscience faculty recently modified their course content in a variety of ways, and about half recently adjusted their teaching methods toward more student-centered approaches. Respondents from across many different subgroups (e.g., institution type, position, and class type) are equally likely to modify content, perhaps reflecting the importance of current events, societal issues, and recent research findings to undergraduate geoscience education. In contrast, whether a respondent modified his or her teaching methods in the last two years varies strongly across subgroups. Two predictors of whether respondents modified their teaching methods is whether they also modified content, with respondents who changed their course content almost twice as likely to have also changed their teaching methods and how frequently they speak to colleagues about teaching, with more frequent discussion correlated with a higher percentage of faculty changing teaching methods. A major inhibitor to making course modifications is time constraints, and the promotion and tenure process may play a role in inhibiting change. The results indicate that the geoscience community approach of embedding discussions of teaching methods within workshops, webinars, and modules that primarily focus on teaching specific content may be an effective means of improving STEM education more broadly.
The concept of culture in radical theories of education
Creators: name: Hodgens, John
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1988
Subjects: subject: Educational sociology

description: The aim of this thesis is to consider the application of the concept of culture ln educational studies which take a 'radical' stance. Such studies assert that inequality of educational achievement in complex modern societies has a more or less direct and significant relationship to social class and that the phenomenon of achievement is to be explained by strictly social causes. Radical accounts of education thus challenge the assumption that educational achievement is to be explained by a natural or pre-social distribution of individual 'aptitude', 'mental ability' or 'intelligence' in the population at large. The outcome of this 'radical' position is that if unequal achievement in education can be explained by social causes related to class, such causes can be changed through the processes of schooling and broader social action.

description: The reaction ${n} {p} \to {p} {p} π^{-}$ has been studied in a kinematically complete measurement with a large acceptance time-of-flight spectrometer for incident neutron energies between threshold and 570 MeV. The proton-proton invariant mass distributions show a strong enhancement due to the pp($^{1}{S}_{0}$) final state interaction. A large anisotropy was found in the pion angular distributions in contrast to the reaction ${p}{p} \to {p}{p} π^{0}$. At small energies, a large forward/backward asymmetry has been observed. From the measured integrated cross section $σ({n}{p} \to {\rm p}{p} π^{-})$, the isoscalar cross section $σ_{01}$ has been extracted. Its energy dependence indicates that mainly partial waves with Sp final states contribute. Note: Due to a coding error, the differential cross sections ${d σ}/{d M_{pp}}$ as shown in Fig. 9 are too small by a factor of two, and inn Table 3 the differential cross sections ${d σ}/{d Ω_π^{*}}$ are too large by a factor of $10/2π$. The integrated cross sections and all conclusions remain unchanged. A corresponding erratum has been submitted and accepted by European Physics Journal.

description: One issue in analyzing longitudinal multirater data arises if raters drop-in or drop-out throughout a longitudinal study. We term this issue random rater movement (RRM), assuming that the selection of raters into the study approximates a random process and is strongly ignorable. We explain how RRM can be modeled in case of longitudinal multirater designs with (a) interchangeable raters or (b) structurally different raters. To analyze measurement designs with stable and changing interchangeable raters, we recommend using a longitudinal multilevel confirmatory factor model. To analyze measurement designs with stable and changing structurally different raters, we propose a longitudinal multigroup confirmatory factor model. The proposed model is illustrated using real data. Additionally, the performance of the models with regard to a small number of raters and a relatively small overall sample size is examined in Monte Carlo simulation studies. Future directions for analyzing rater movement over time are provided.

description: One of the most critical problems in the river engineering field is scouring, sedimentation and morphology of a river bed. In this paper, a finite volume method FORTRAN code is provided and used. The code is able to model the sedimentation. The flow and sediment were modeled at the interception of the two channels. It is applied an experimental model to evaluate the results. Regarding the numerical model, the effects of geometry parameters such as proportion of secondary channel to main channel width and intersection angle and also hydraulic conditionals like secondary to main channel discharge ratio and inlet flow Froude number were studied on bed topographical and flow pattern. The numerical results show that the maximum height of bed increased to 32 percent as the discharge ratio reaches to 51 percent, on average. It is observed that the maximum height of sedimentation decreases by declining in main channel to secondary channel Froude number ratio. On the assessment of the channel width, velocity and final bed height variations have changed by given trend, in all the ratios. Also, increasing in the intersection angle accompanied by decreasing in flow velocity variations along the channel. The pattern of velocity and topographical bed variations are also constant in any studied angles.

description: This work contains two main components: (a) an English translation of the Sanskrit texts comprising the Buddhist Yogācāra philosophical work known as the Madhyāntavibhāga . It includes the verses (kārikā) of Maitreya/Asaṅga, commentary (bhāṣya) of Vasubandhu and sub-commentary (tika) of Sthiramati. (b) Text critical remarks for the establishment of the Sanskrit text of Sthiramati's commentary based upon: (i) a photographed copy of the original manuscript, (ii) the Edited Sanskrit text prepared by S. Yamaguchi and (iii) the Peking and Derge (sde dge) editions of the canonical blockprints of the Tibetan bsTan hgyur. The Madhyāntavibhāga contains an exposition of the analysis (vibhāga) of the middle way (madhya) in relation to the various extreme views (anta). It is arranged in five chapters: The first chapter, "the defining characteristics" (laksapa) provides a detailed account of both the nature of the phenomenal world and the way that it is imaginatively constructed (parikalpyate) in consciousness, as well as the Yogācāra understanding of emptiness (śūnyatā). Chapter two identifies the main obscurations (avarana) to enlightenment for the śrāvaka, the pratyekabuddha and the bodhisattva. Chapter three provides an explanation of the ten realities (tattva) and their intrinsic relationship with the three natures (svabhāva), i.e the imaginary (parikalpita), the other dependent (paratantra) and the perfected (parinispanna). Chapter four is concerned with the development of meditative practices (bhavana), the various states (avastha) of the latter and the results (phala) obtained from those states. Chapter Five extols the virtues of the universal vehicle (mahāyāna) in comparison to the other vehicles especially in regard to spiritual practice (pratipatti), objective support (ālambana) and full attainment (samudāgama ).

description: We investigate a generic dynamical theory to characterize topological quantum phases by quantum quenches, and study the emergent topology of quantum dynamics when the quenches start from a deep or shallow trivial phase to topological regimes. Two dynamical schemes are examined: One is to characterize topological phases via quantum dynamics induced by a single quench along an arbitrary axis, and the other applies a sequence of quenches with respect to all (pseudo)spin axes. These two schemes are both built on the so-called dynamical bulk-surface correspondence, which shows that the $d$-dimensional ($d$D) topological phases with integer invariants can be characterized by the dynamical topological pattern emerging on $(d-1)$D band inversion surfaces (BISs). We show that the first dynamical scheme works for both deep and shallow quenches, the latter of which is initialized in an incompletely polarized trivial phase. For the second scheme, however, when the initial phase for the quench study varies from the deep trivial (fully polarized) to shallow trivial (incompletely polarized) regime, a new dynamical topological transition, associated with topological charges crossing BISs, is predicted in quench dynamics. A generic criterion of the dynamical topological transition is precisely obtained. Above the criterion, quantum dynamics on BISs well characterizes the topology of the post-quench Hamiltonian. Below the criterion, the quench dynamics may depict a new dynamical topology; the post-quench topology can be characterized by the emergent topological invariant plus the total charges moving outside the region enclosed by BISs. We illustrate our results by numerically calculating the 2D quantum anomalous Hall model. This work broadens the way to classify topological phases by non-equilibrium quantum dynamics, and has feasibility for experimental realization.

description: We have tested the applicability of the global modal approach in the density wave theory of spiral structure for a sample of spiral galaxies with measured axisymmetric background properties. We report here the results of the simulations for four galaxies: NGC 488, NGC 628, NGC 1566, and NGC 3938. Using the observed radial distributions for the stellar velocity dispersions and the rotation velocities we have constructed the equilibrium models for the galactic disks in each galaxy and implemented two kinds of stability analyses - the linear global analysis and 2D-nonlinear simulations. In general, the global modal approach is able to reproduce the observed properties of the spiral arms in the galactic disks. The growth of spirals in the galactic disks can be physically understood in terms of amplification by over-reflection at the corotation resonance. Our results support the global modal approach as a theoretical explanation of spiral structure in galaxies.

description: Everyday behaviors like interpreting a child’s squeal as thrilled or terrified or understandingdiverse acoustic signals from different talkers to each be the word “thanks” rely oncategorization. Learning to treat perceptually distinct objects as functionally equivalent changeshow we structure our knowledge about the world. Category learning is a major areaof research that spans from cellular neuroscience to human behavioral methods to philosophy.Despite the breadth of research on category learning, much still remains unknown about howhumans create and reorganize mental representations of categories. Even so, the majorityof research on perceptual category learning focuses on visual categories. In this dissertation, Iwill focus on auditory category learning. Sound presents unique learning challenges that areimportant for understanding speech learning, music perception, and everyday listening.This dissertation investigates how humans build on existing knowledge to learn new soundcategories. Chapter 1 presents a theoretical framework on the interaction of sensory experience,perceptual representations, and category learning. Chapters 2 and 3 uncover how factors of thecurrent learning context affect category learning. Chapter 4 examines how existing perceptualrepresentations influence how learners form categories within a perceptual environment.Chapters 5 and 6 investigate how experience with statistically structured sensory informationinfluences similarity-based perceptual representations and the effect of this experience onsubsequent category learning. A neural network model presented in Chapter 7 serves as a startingpoint in understanding the underlying computational mechanisms that allow sensory experienceto shape perceptual representations, which then influence higher-level cognition, such as theprocesses involved in category learning. This research advances understanding of both auditoryand visual categorization by revealing how category learning is both constrained by priorexperience and influenced by regularities and the context of the current learning environment.
Noncommutative Gauge Theory on Fuzzy Four-Sphere and Matrix Model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study a noncommutative gauge theory on a fuzzy four-sphere. The idea is to use a matrix model with a fifth-rank Chern-Simons term and to expand matrices around the fuzzy four-sphere which corresponds to a classical solution of this model. We need extra degrees of freedom since algebra of coordinates does not close on the fuzzy four-sphere. In such a construction, a fuzzy two sphere is added at each point on the fuzzy four-sphere as extra degrees of freedom. It is interesting that fields on the fuzzy four-sphere have higher spins due to the extra degrees of freedom. We also consider a theory around the north pole and take a flat space limit. A noncommutative gauge theory on four-dimensional plane, which has Heisenberg type noncommutativity, is considered.

The phase-integral values for asteroids of different albedo range from 0.34 to 0.54 with an average value of 0.44. These values can be used for the determination of the Bond albedo of asteroids. Estimates for the phase-integral values using the G1 and G2 parameters are in very good agreement with the available observational data. We recommend using the HG1G2-function for the determination of the phase integral. Comparison of the phase integrals of asteroids and planetary satellites shows that asteroids have systematically lower values of q.

description: MDAnalysis is a widely used Python library for the analysis of particle-based simulations in the biomolecular and materials science communities. Parallel MDAnalysis, known as PMDA, is being developed to make use of modern multicore computers as well as high performance supercomputing resources. PMDA uses functions from MDAnalysis along with Dask to seamlessly construct parallel versions of the analyses in MDAnalysis. We added two new analysis tools to PMDA: DensityAnalysis and RMSF. DensityAnalysis gives users the ability to find concentrations of molecules around proteins and other biophysical systems. RMSF calculates the positional root mean square fluctuations of proteins as a measure of their flexibility. We developed a new parallel algorithm for RMSF based on partial means and sums of squares. The results are consistent with the serial version in MDAnalysis and have been verified using the NumPy standard deviation functions on arbitrary data sets. Benchmark results are shown corresponding to typical use.

description: It is known that the soft tail of the gamma-ray bursts' spectra show excesses from the exact power-law dependence. In this article we show that this departure can be detected in the peak flux ratios of different BATSE DISCSC energy channels. This effect allows to estimate the redshift of the bright long gamma-ray bursts in the BATSE Catalog. A verification of these redshifts is obtained for the 8 GRB which have both BATSE DISCSC data and measured optical spectroscopic redshifts. There is good correlation between the measured and esti redshifts, and the average error is $Δz \approx 0.33$. The method is similar to the photometric redshift estimation of galaxies in the optical range, hence it can be called as "gamma photometric redshift estimation". The estimated redshifts for the long bright gamma-ray bursts are up to $z \simeq 4$. For the the faint long bursts - which should be up to $z \simeq 20$ - the redshifts cannot be determined unambiguously with this method.

description: We carry out field redefinitions in ten-dimensional Type IIB supergravity and show that they do not give rise to any physical corrections to the holographic renormalization group structure in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We in particular show that the holographic Weyl anomaly of the N=4 SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory does not change under the field redefinition of the ten-dimensional metric of the form G_{MN} -> G_{MN}+αR G_{MN}+βR_{MN}. These results are consistent with the fact that classical supergravity represents the on-shell structure of massless modes of superstrings, which should not change under redefinitions of fields.

description: We present a novel approach to reconstruct RGB-D indoor scene with plane primitives. Our approach takes as input a RGB-D sequence and a dense coarse mesh reconstructed by some 3D reconstruction method on the sequence, and generate a lightweight, low-polygonal mesh with clear face textures and sharp features without losing geometry details from the original scene. To achieve this, we firstly partition the input mesh with plane primitives, simplify it into a lightweight mesh next, then optimize plane parameters, camera poses and texture colors to maximize the photometric consistency across frames, and finally optimize mesh geometry to maximize consistency between geometry and planes. Compared to existing planar reconstruction methods which only cover large planar regions in the scene, our method builds the entire scene by adaptive planes without losing geometry details and preserves sharp features in the final mesh. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by applying it onto several RGB-D scans and comparing it to other state-of-the-art reconstruction methods.

description: MDAnalysis is a software package used by many scientists in the biophysics community due to its easy integration with many Python libraries. But when it comes to running analyses on HPC resources, some of the functions in standard MDAnalysis run in serial and are very time intensive, especially for long trajectories and atom numbers. With this in mind, a new library, Parallel MDAnalysis, or 'PMDA', has been developed to bring the best of both worlds: flexibility and speed. PMDA uses serial classes from MDAnalysis to create parallel versions of them using the Python package known as Dask. Using PMDA's built-in API, it was possible to integrate two new functions into the Parallel MDAnalysis pool of pre-defined analysis classes: DensityAnalysis and RMSF. These classes were then benchmarked and tested for accuracy.

description: The effect of limiting the acceptance in rapidity on event-by-event multiplicity fluctuations in nucleus-nucleus collisions has been investigated. Our analysis shows that the multiplicity fluctuations decrease when the rapidity acceptance is decreased. We explain this trend by assuming that the probability distribution of the particles in the smaller acceptance window follows binomial distribution. Following a simple statistical analysis we conclude that the event-by-event multiplicity fluctuations for full acceptance are likely to be larger than those observed in the experiments, since the experiments usually have detectors with limited acceptance. We discuss the application of our model to simulated data generated using VENUS, a widely used event generator in heavy-ion collisions. We also discuss the results from our calculations in presence of dynamical fluctuations and possible observation of these in the actual data.

description: In a recent paper (Phys. Rev. D 94, 125016 (2016)), the authors argued that the singularities of the two-point functions on the Poincaré domain of the $n$-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime ($\text{PAdS}_n$) have the Hadamard form, regardless of which (Robin) boundary condition is chosen at the conformal boundary. However, the argument used to prove this statement was based on an incorrect expression for the two-point function $G^{+}(x,x')$, which was obtained by demanding $\text{AdS}$ invariance for the vacuum state. In this comment I show that their argument works only for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions and that the full $\text{AdS}$ symmetry cannot be respected by nontrivial Robin conditions (i.e., those which are neither Dirichlet nor Neumann). By studying the conformal scalar field on $\text{PAdS}_2$, I find the correct expression for $G^{+}(x,x')$ and show that, notwithstanding this problem, it still have the Hadamard form.

Family size preferences in Pakistan
Creators: name: Ali, Syed Mubashir
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University
Year: 1987
Subjects: subject: Family size Pakistan

description: In this study, an attempt is made to investigate and identify the most important predictors of family size preferences in Pakistan. The analysis is based on cross-sectional data of 9416 currently married women under age 50 from a national survey in 1979-80. The findings of the analysis suggest that having sons in the family was the principal predictor, particularly for desired family size and desire for future births. Wife's education was another important variable whose effect on family size preferences remained the least influenced by other variables. Overall, family size preferences were quite large in Pakistan and the levels did not vary greatly between urban and rural areas. There are indications that family size preferences were modified in view of the actual fertility experience.

description: We analyze a fiber-optic component which could find multiple uses in novel information-processing systems utilizing squeezed states of light. Our approach is based on the phenomenon of photon-number squeezing of soliton noise after the soliton has propagated through a nonlinear optical fiber. Applications of this component in optical networks for quantum computation and quantum cryptography are discussed.

description: Affective computing is a field of great interest in many computer vision applications, including video surveillance, behaviour analysis, and human-robot interaction. Most of the existing literature has addressed this field by analysing different sets of face features. However, in the last decade, several studies have shown how body movements can play a key role even in emotion recognition. The majority of these experiments on the body are performed by trained actors whose aim is to simulate emotional reactions. These unnatural expressions differ from the more challenging genuine emotions, thus invalidating the obtained results. In this paper, a solution for basic non-acted emotion recognition based on 3D skeleton and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) is provided. The proposed work introduces three majors contributions. First, unlike the current state-of-the-art in non-acted body affect recognition, where only static or global body features are considered, in this work also temporal local movements performed by subjects in each frame are examined. Second, an original set of global and time-dependent features for body movement description is provided. Third, to the best of out knowledge, this is the first attempt to use deep learning methods for non-acted body affect recognition. Due to the novelty of the topic, only the UCLIC dataset is currently considered the benchmark for comparative tests. On the latter, the proposed method outperforms all the competitors.
Interstellar H_2 in M 33 detected with FUSE

description: FUSE spectra of the four brightest H II regions in M 33 show absorption by interstellar gas in the Galaxy and in M 33. On three lines of sight molecular hydrogen in M 33 is detected. This is the first measurement of diffuse H_2 in absorption in a Local Group galaxy other than the Magellanic Clouds. A quantitative analysis is difficult because of the low signal to noise ratio and the systematic effects produced by having multiple objects in the FUSE aperture. We use the M 33 FUSE data to demonstrate in a more general manner the complexity of interpreting interstellar absorption line spectra towards multi-object background sources. We derive H_2 column densities of approximately 10^16 to 10^17 cm^{-2} along 3 sight lines (NGC 588, NGC 592, NGC 595). Because of the systematic effects, these values most likely represent upper limits and the non-detection of H_2 towards NGC 604 does not exclude the existence of significant amounts of molecular gas along this sight line.
