description: We study the low temperature properties of a helium-4 fluid confined in nanopores, using large-scale Quantum Monte Carlo simulations with realistic He-He and He-pore interactions. In the narrow-pore limit, the system can be described by the quantum hydrodynamic theory known as Luttinger liquid theory with a large Luttinger parameter, corresponding to the dominance of solid tendencies and strong susceptibility to pinning by a periodic or random potential from the pore walls. On the other hand, for wider pores, the central region appears to behave like a Luttinger liquid with a smaller Luttinger parameter, and may be protected from pinning by the wall potential, offering the possibility of experimental detection of a Luttinger liquid.

description: I review what we have learned about the old stellar population of NGC 5128, the only large E galaxy close enough that we can currently observe individual stars as faint as the horizontal branch. Although its galaxy type is still a matter of debate for some, the uncertainties over distance are now largely resolved; comparison of five stellar distance indicators gives d=3.8 +- 0.1 Mpc. The globular cluster system, which was once perplexingly invisible, is now known to be predominantly old with a substantial metal-rich component. The GCS total population and luminosity function are normal and the clusters follow the same fundamental plane relation as those in the Milky Way and M31. Finally, the halo out to at least ~7r_{eff} is dominated by metal-rich stars which are also predominantly old, with age and metallicity tantalizingly similar to the majority of globular clusters.

description: In recent years, interesting physical and chemical properties of graphene oxide (GO) have led to a great deal of excitement in the chemistry. One of the most promising results is the use of GO and the functionalized GOs as heterogeneous catalysts in organic synthesis. In this work, GO was functionalized with piperazine (GO-NH), converted to magnetic GO-NH by incorporating Fe3O4 particles into GO-NH (Fe3O4@rGO-NH), and then reduced with hydrazine hydrate to yield piperazine-grafted magnetic reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4@rGO-NH). The obtained Fe3O4@rGO-NH was used as a heterogeneous catalyst in the Gewald three-component reaction between some aldehydes or ketones, sulfur, and malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate. The catalyst showed good activity for various starting materials, easy separation from the reaction mixture using an ordinary magnet and reusability. Also, the catalyst was used six times without significant loss of activity.

description: Embryonic stem cells (ESC) have the potential to self-renew indefinitely and to differentiate into any of the three germ layers. The molecular mechanisms for self-renewal, maintenance of pluripotency and lineage specification are poorly understood, but recent results point to a key role for epigenetic mechanisms. In this study, we focus on quantifying the impact of histone 3 acetylation (H3K9,14ac) on gene expression in murine embryonic stem cells. We analyze genome-wide histone acetylation patterns and gene expression profiles measured over the first five days of cell differentiation triggered by silencing Nanog, a key transcription factor in ESC regulation. We explore the temporal and spatial dynamics of histone acetylation data and its correlation with gene expression using supervised and unsupervised statistical models. On a genome-wide scale, changes in acetylation are significantly correlated to changes in mRNA expression and, surprisingly, this coherence increases over time. We quantify the predictive power of histone acetylation for gene expression changes in a balanced cross-validation procedure. In an in-depth study we focus on genes central to the regulatory network of Mouse ESC, including those identified in a recent genome-wide RNAi screen and in the PluriNet, a computationally derived stem cell signature. We find that compared to the rest of the genome, ESC-specific genes show significantly more acetylation signal and a much stronger decrease in acetylation over time, which is often not reflected in an concordant expression change. These results shed light on the complexity of the relationship between histone acetylation and gene expression and are a step forward to dissect the multilayer regulatory mechanisms that determine stem cell fate.

description: Synthesis of novel 2-amino-5-aryl-7-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-4-oxo-3,4,5,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile derivatives is reported by the reaction of 2,6-diaminopyrimidin-4(3H)-one, 3-(1-methy-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-3-oxopropane nitrile and aryl aldehydes in the presence of newly synthesized imidazolium based ionic liquid supported on hydroxyapatite encapsulated γ-Fe2O3 nanocatalyst [γ-Fe2O3@HAp-Si(CH2)3Cl@DMIM] in short reaction times (7-13 min) and high to excellent yields (80%–95%). Cleaner reaction profile, mild reaction conditions, use of the green solvent and reusability of the catalyst, make this protocol attractive for the large scale synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile derivatives and is amenable for iterative combinatorial library generation. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive analysis of X-rays, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermogravimetric and vibrating sample magnetometer. A novel imidazolium based ionic liquids supported on hydroxyapatite encapsulated γ-Fe2O3 nanocatalyst [γ-Fe2O3@HAp-Si(CH2)3Cl@DMIM] was synthesized and used in a practical and efficient synthesis of new 2-amino-5-aryl-7-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-4-oxo-3,4,5,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile derivatives.

description: How is it possible for diasporic Indigenous women and mothers, to remember, recover and restory what has been lost in the last five hundred years of colonization? How can mothers who have been displaced from land, language, and culture as a result of colonization participate in cultural restoration, their own and that of the collective. How is Trauma involved, relied on, perpetuated, and resolved in order to either maintain or escape patterns of fight, flight and/or paralysis? As a Xicana Indígena mother, existing in the cycle of birth and death, always becoming ancestor, I have searched for an accurate story to pass on to my children, a story that is true but that is also a truth-telling. I address and explore problems of authentic identity – de- Indianization, appropriation and misappropriation, and hemispheric Indigeneity in order to set up the initial problem. I then move on to consider historical trauma, trauma theory, Indigenous healing practices and paradigms as well as resonant western ones. I then consider histories, issues, and ceremonies related to Indigenous birth and mothering. This project is a Ceremony of restoration, of decoding remnants, of generative gestures, and stitching stories. It offers guiding principles and ceremonial protocols that allow for the product of ceremony, vision, to emerge. A large part of this dissertation consists of imaginal, dream-crafted, poietic, and performative output and it is supplemented with an exhibition and a published collection of poetry. I share my vision, a personal transformation and an offering, a generative gesture of In Xochitl In Cuicatl – poetry and prayer that honors Indigenous holistic dualism as a way forward through trauma . . . into freedom.

description: Este artigo introduz uma nova estrutura de dados b-rep (boundary representation) designada de AIF (Adjacency and Incidence Framework). A estrutura de dados AIF é concisa e permite o acesso rápido à sua informação topológica. A sua concisão resulta do facto de ser uma estrutura de dados orientável mas não orientada, isto é, a orientação é induzida topologicamente como é necessário em várias aplicações. É uma estrutura de dados óptima na classe 9 4 C , o que significa que um número mínimo de acessos é necessário para aceder a toda a informação sobre adjacências e incidências. A estrutura de dados AIF suporta a representação de modelos poligonais, não necessariamente triangulares, mesmo em condições de ''non-manifold''.

description: We investigate a population dynamics model that exhibits a Neimark Sacker bifurcation with a period that is naturally close to 4. Beyond the bifurcation, the period becomes soon locked at 4 due to a strong resonance, and a second attractor of period 2 emerges, which coexists with the first attractor over a considerable parameter range. A linear stability analysis and a numerical investigation of the second attractor reveal that the bifurcations producing the second attractor occur naturally in this type of system.

description: The convergence of the casualization, fragmentation, intensification, segmentation, shifting and creep of academic work with the post-9/11 gentrificaton of criticism and dissent is a serious threat to academic freedom. Academic stress— manifested as burnout through amalgamation and creep of work, and as distress through bullying, mobbing and victimization— underwrites increases in leaves of absence. Non-tenure track faculty are hit particularly hard, indicating “contingency or the precariousness of their position” as relentless stressors. This is not exactly a SWOT analysis, where Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats are given due treatment. Rather, the focus is on this threat convergence as it resolves through historic displacements of the academic workplace and work. To what degree are the new policies for academic speech inscribed in academic work, regardless of where it’s done? As the academic workplace is increasingly displaced and distributed, are academic policies displaced and distributed as well? Observed at work, monitored at home and tracked in between—these are not so much choices as the cold reality of 21st century academic work.

description: Novel material properties can be realized by designing waves' dispersion relations in artificial crystals. The crystal's structural length scales may range from nano- (light) up to centimeters (sound waves). Because of their emergent properties these materials are called metamaterials. Different to photonics, where the dielectric constant dominantly determines the index of refraction, in a ferromagnet the spin-wave index of refraction can be dramatically changed already by the magnetization direction. This allows a different flexibility in realizing dynamic wave guides or spin-wave switches. The present review will give an introduction into the novel functionalities of spin-wave devices, concepts for spin-wave based computing and magnonic crystals. The parameters of the magnetic metamaterials are adjusted to the spin-wave k-vector such that the magnonic band structure is designed. However, already the elementary building block of an antidot lattice, the singular hole, owns a strongly varying internal potential determined by its magnetic dipole field and a localization of spin-wave modes. Photo-magnonics reveal a way to investigate the control over the interplay between localization and delocalization of the spin-wave modes using femtosecond lasers, which is a major focus of this review. We will discuss the crucial parameters to realize free Bloch states and how, by contrast, a controlled localization might allow to gradually turn on and manipulate spin-wave interactions in spin-wave based devices in the future.

description: We examine the quantization of fluxes for the warped Stiefel cone and Stenzel geometries and their orbifolds, and distinguish the roles of three related notions of charge: Page, Maxwell, and brane. The orbifolds admit discrete torsion, and we describe the associated quantum numbers which are consistent with the geometry in its large radius and small radius limits from both the type IIA and the M-theory perspectives. The discrete torsion, measured by a Page charge, is related to the number of fractional branes. We relate the shifts in the Page charges under large gauge transformations to the Hanany-Witten brane creation effect.

description: Os sistemas gráficos actuais incluem primitivas para desenhar segmentos de recta, circunferências, curvas e superfícies de Bézier, NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines). No entanto, estes sistemas não fornecem primitivas gerais para representar graficamente curvas implícitas. A razão fundamental para este estado-de-coisas prende-se com o facto destas curvas poderem apresentar singularidades (e.g. auto-intersecções) . Este artigo introduz um algoritmo genérico, eficiente e robusto que permite representar qualquer curva analítica definida implicitamente. Para isso, é utilizado um algoritmo BSP (Binary Space Partition) que particiona recursivamente o espaço ambiente O?R2 duma forma não-uniforme de modo a determinar um conjunto de pontos que constituem uma aproximação discreta da curva. Cada ponto não é mais do que a intersecção da recta de bissecção dum subespaço com a curva, sendo determinado através dum algoritmo de aproximação numérica. Não são utilizadas quaisquer técnicas de diferenciação. Ao contrário doutros algoritmos de decomposição, este algoritmo permite também determinar pontos isolados, utilizando o conceito de extremo local de uma função num dado intervalo.

description: This article, based on an ethnographic study in Arizona, provides a spatial analysis of teacher resistance in a right-to-work state. In contrast to geographical sites like Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia were there is a long tradition of teacher labor unions, teachers in right-to-work states produce alternate forms of resistance to neoliberalism. In particular, this article highlights how geographical variation mediates the meanings and practices that produce diverse relationships between neoliberalism, educational reforms, and teacher resistance.

description: We present BlobMaker, a program for modelling surfaces using variational implicit surfaces. Our approach uses variational implicit surfaces as a geometrical representation for free-form shapes. We have implemented new modelling operations to support stroke (pen-based) input. To this end, we have built a complete modeller application using variational implicit surfaces. Users can create and manipulate shapes using sketches on a perspective or parallel view. The main operations are inflate, which creates 3D forms from a 2D stroke, merge, which creates a 3D shape from two blobs and oversketch, which allows users to redefine shapes using a single stroke to change their boundaries or to modify a surface by an implicit extrusion. We compare these techniques with those of other approaches published. Finally, we describe their implementation in BlobMaker. We have provided additional features such as copying, picking and dragging to offer a natural user interface suitable free-form modelling.

description: This essay is a critical history of the Boggs School in Detroit.  In the context of education activism, the significance of the Boggs School is that it centralizes activist schooling as a complement to teacher activism.  More specifically, the school adds to our understanding of activist schooling traditions, the work of African American radicals in creating transformative education, and critical notions of schooling that operate both within and outside the public schooling tradition.  This essay will describe the Boggs School’s activist history, focusing on the following three areas: the events leading to the formation of the Boggs School; the radical education history informing the school’s theory and practice; and the school’s social, political, and educational interventions in Detroit and the way in which this activism is influencing national conversations.

description: La SUPSI è impegnata in un progetto di ricerca chiamato enCOMPASS. Tale progetto mira a intraprendere un cambiamento comportamentale per quanto concerne il risparmio energetico rendendo noti ai propri utenti i loro consumi. Questi dati sul consumo vengono rilevati attraverso dei contatori intelligenti e sono campionati ogni 15 minuti per un totale di circa 400 utenti. Lo scopo di questo progetto è quello di analizzare e studiare queste moli di dati per capire l'affidabilità e la veridicità di quest'ultimi. Analiticamente si vogliono scoprire quali sono, se ci sono, le principali fonti di consumo. Inoltre si vuole anche realizzare una classificazione per analizzare e identificare l'intervallo di consumo, partendo unicamente dal profilo di un nuovo utente e dai suoi dati riguardanti la domotica. Per soddisfare tutti i compiti e gli obiettivi si è deciso di utilizzare il linguaggio di programmazione Python in quanto esistono già diverse librerie che implementano algoritmi di machine learning mirati al compimento del progetto quali K-means, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest e la regressione lineare. titolo documento Eseguendo un'analisi preliminare dei dati forniti e una loro scrematura, eliminando alcuni valori errati e/o inconsistenti, si raggiungono in modo ottimale gli obiettivi prefissati: • Conseguiamo le features che aggravano maggiormente sul consumo dell'energia elettrica, anche se i risultati non sono esattamente quelli che ci si aspettava a livello teorico e alcuni non sono molto soddisfacenti. • I classificatori, dandogli in input dei dataframe significativi, lavorano egregiamente riuscendo a identificare la classe di appartenenza di un nuovo utente.

description: Providing advanced 3D interactive facilities to users of a client-server collaborative modeling system presents a great challenge when thin clients are involved, mainly due to their lack of both a proper CAD model and the adequate modeling and solving functionality. This paper presents a new approach that provides a convenient representation of feature model data suitable for direct manipulation of feature models at such clients. It combines all advantages of a thin client approach with the sort of 3D direct manipulation facilities usually only found in powerful standalone CAD systems.

description: Questo studio vuole esplorare gli atteggiamenti dei bambini verso i loro pari con grave disabilità e determinare se i bambini che hanno svolto le attività di laboratorio teatrale in inclusione hanno degli atteggiamenti più favorevoli verso i loro pari con grave disabilità rispetto a quelli che non le hanno svolte. Per questo, la ricerca si suddivide in due parti: un’analisi quantitativa e una qualitativa. Il campione della ricerca sono 46 bambini appartenenti alle due classi di seconda elementare della scuola di Giubiasco. Una di queste due classi ha seguito un percorso teatrale di 11 incontri in inclusione con i bambini della scuola speciale. Nella parte quantitativa, per misurare le attitudini dei bambini verso la grave disabilità è stato utilizzato il questionario CATCH. Per rispondere alla domanda qualitativa è stata aggiunta la consegna di disegnare loro stessi che giocano con un bambino con grave disabilità. I dati emersi dall’analisi quantitativa sono in seguito stati analizzati con un t-Test. I risultati mostrano che, nonostante la differenza di media parla a favore del gruppo in inclusione, la differenza tra i due gruppi non è significativa. Come principali spiegazioni di tale risultato vengono sottolineati la breve durata dell’intervento e il numero ridotto del campione. Per l’analisi qualitativa, i disegni dei due gruppi sono stati categorizzati e messi a confronto. Nei disegni dei bambini che hanno seguito il laboratorio traspare un processo di apertura verso la disabilità.

description: The election of Glenda Ritz as Superintendent of Public Instruction of Indiana not only symbolized a reversal in K12 education reform, but also demonstrated how teachers, unions, and communities worked together to express their resistance to the neoliberal policies of then Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett. Under the administration of Bennett, Indiana had become a ‘trailblazer’ in the nation for an aggressive reform strategy that advanced school choice, an increased number of charter schools, punitive teacher evaluations, and the adoption of the divisive Common Core State Standards. This case study examines and documents the complex features of this election including how teachers and unions collaborated with their communities to demonstrate resistance to Bennett’s policies through various grassroots efforts. Data was collected from from primary sources and government documents. Additionally, the authors conducted interviews with Ritz and teacher union leaders, examined posts in social media, and studied archival reports from mainstream media.

description: We use the dynamical invariants associated with the Hamiltonian of an atom in a one dimensional moving trap to inverse engineer the trap motion and perform fast atomic transport without final vibrational heating. The atom is driven non-adiabatically through a shortcut to the result of adiabatic, slow trap motion. For harmonic potentials this only requires designing appropriate trap trajectories, whereas perfect transport in anharmonic traps may be achieved by applying an extra field to compensate the forces in the rest frame of the trap. The results can be extended to atom stopping or launching. The limitations due to geometrical constraints, energies and accelerations involved are analyzed, as well as the relation to previous approaches (based on classical trajectories or "fast-forward" and "bang-bang" methods) which can be integrated in the invariant-based framework.

description: In the wake of Chicago’s well-known teacher strikes in 2012, social movement caucuses are popping up across the USA as teachers seek to better organize through the auspices of their unions in response to what they see as the dismantlement of public education. In this article, I explore how one educator-led social movement caucus, Philadelphia’s Caucus of Working Educators, takes up concepts of activism and social movement unionism in its change-oriented work. I show that educators come to take on identities as activists as they engage in intellectual inquiry into the nature of social movement unionism and grapple with questions about how race and racism shape their Philadelphia context and their organizing work.

“We Need to Grab Power Where We Can”: Teacher Activists’ Responses to Policies of Privatization and the Assault on Teachers in Chicago

description: In the midst of neoliberal governing mentalities, policies of privatizing public education in the U.S., and corporate reform, to what extent do the voice, emotion, body and resistance of a teacher matter? This article considers the experiences of teachers as they develop a critical consciousness and attempt to resist the global and local forces that seek to (de)professionalize them in particular ways that omit their voice from educational matters. Instead of accepting that teacher bodies have become regulated through disciplinary acts such as policies of privatization, corporate reform models or mechanisms of standardization in education such as value-added analysis as part of teacher evaluations across the U.S., this article explores the ways in which teachers in the local context of Chicago “talk back” to policy reform. Utilizing Giroux’s (1988) conceptual frame of “critical consciousness” coupled with teacher as “radical organic intellectual” and additional frameworks around neoliberal governmentality in educational settings to situate the study (Foucault, 1994; Rose, 1996, 1999; Rose & Miller, 1992), the purpose of this article is to explore teacher activists’ responses to teacher assault, policies of privatization and school closings in Chicago during the 2012-2013 school year. Drawing on ethnographic field notes from participant observations as teachers protested, organized, and agitated local educational policies and interviews with three teachers, this article considers the purpose of public education from teacher perspectives as well as their reasons and motivation for speaking against policies of neoliberal governmentality and policies of privatization (Lipman, 2011). Locating teacher consciousness and reflexivity enables us to see the lived experiences of teachers in Chicago and to write against (othering of teachers, and) the normative discourses around teacher deficits and the profession of teaching’s positioning in policy as inferior. Using the narratives of three particular teachers, this study provides insight into the ways in which teachers make sense of policy, and the ways in which they disrupt the process of corporate, neoliberal ideology.

description: To date, two types of coupling between electromagnetic radiation and a crystal lattice have been identified experimentally. One is direct, for infrared (IR)-active vibrations that carry an electric dipole. The second is indirect, it occurs through intermediate excitation of the electronic system via electron-phonon coupling, as in stimulated Raman scattering. Nearly 40 years ago, proposals were made of a third path, referred to as ionic Raman scattering (IRS). It was posited that excitation of an IR-active phonon could serve as the intermediate state for a Raman scattering process relying on lattice anharmonicity as opposed to electron phonon interaction. In this paper, we report an experimental demonstration of ionic Raman scattering and show that this mechanism is relevant to optical control in solids. The key insight is that a rectified phonon field can exert a directional force onto the crystal, inducing an abrupt displacement of the atoms from the equilibrium positions that could not be achieved through excitation of an IR-active vibration alone, for which the force is oscillatory. IRS opens up a new direction for the coherent control of solids in their electronic ground state, different from approaches that rely on electronic excitations.

Characterizing surface wave interactions in finite superlens systems to improve imaging performance

description: High resolution lenses have numerous applications in the fields of manufacturing and imaging. Surging industrial demand for increased lensing resolution have pushed conventional imaging techniques to their performance limits. To meet this burgeoning industrial need, a comprehensive selection of super-resolution imaging technologies have been spurred into recent research and development. One of the most promising new technologies under investigation are exotic, super-resolution capable lenses known as superlenses. Superlenses that are able to generate sub-wavelength resolution images can be realized by flat slabs of double-negative (both ε < 0 and µ < 0) or single-negative (either ε < 0 or µ < 0) media. These negative material slabs restore the amplitudes of fine detail carrying incident evanescent waves to push imaging resolution beyond that which can be achieved by the focusing of propagating waves alone. Amplification of incident evanescent waves through a superlens slab is delicately dependent on the off-resonant excitation of coupled surface plasmons across the slab's extent. These high surface wave amplitudes intensify minor electromagnetic interactions that are otherwise negligible in conventional imaging systems. In this thesis, we investigate how secondary surface wave interactions introduced by finite transverse-width superlenses and complete superlensing systems can affect lensing performance. By analyzing a simple, 1-D imaging configuration, consisting of a single-negative slab centered between dielectric object and detector half-spaces, we show that inter-component reflections are not necessarily deleterious to imaging performance, but can in fact generate a secondary resonant-amplification mechanism to boost evanescent wave transmission. We then develop simulation and analysis techniques to simultaneously study both the temporal frequency and spatial frequency characteristics of dispersive, finite transverse-width superlenses. Using a full-wave simulation tool provided by COMSOL Multiphysics, we investigate the impact that transverse lens width and lens-corner curvature have on superlens transmission. We show that the surface plasmon resonances of a finite transverse-width superlens, can be modelled using a one-dimensional cavity response, which can be tuned by modifying lens width and corner curvature radius to suppress resonant mode excitation.
