Subjects: subject: Reading--Remedial teaching

description: The ability to teach reading and to know how to effectively support learners to become more proficient with their continued reading development, is both a complex and multi-faceted process. Individualized and deliberate reading instruction is often overlooked by parents and educators who have not had specific training or experience in this area. This Process Paper contains current research on best practices for teaching reading to students in Kindergarten through Grade 6. Findings of a comprehensive Literature Review and subsequent analysis were conducted to address and answer the following Critical Challenge Question: “What best practice strategies and resources can be provided to assist parents in supporting their beginning and/or struggling readers within an online learning environment?” These findings were used to guide a Major Project website build designed for parents and educators to access evidence-based resources, learning activities, and teaching methods proven to promote and foster proficient readers. A Peer Review validated the project build and was applied to revisions of the website for future implementation. Project limitations included restrictions limiting the amount and availability of permittable downloadable resource documents due to copyright specifications. Time requirements for further expansion of website content, and consideration of content overload within the website were also noted as limitations. Further solicitation of feedback from parents and educators relevant to the website, as well as regular and ongoing maintenance and upkeep to ensure links remain active and information be kept current was recommended.

description: We report on the variability of 443 flat spectrum, compact radio sources monitored using the VLA for 3 days in 4 epochs at ~ 4 month intervals at 5 GHz as part of the Micro-Arcsecond Scintillation-Induced Variability (MASIV) survey. Over half of these sources exhibited 2-10% rms variations on timescales over 2 days. We analyzed the variations by two independent methods, and find that the rms variability amplitudes of the sources correlate with the emission measure in the ionized Interstellar Medium along their respective lines of sight. We thus link the variations with interstellar scintillation of components of these sources, with some (unknown) fraction of the total flux density contained within a compact region of angular diameter in the range 10-50 micro-arcseconds. We also find that the variations decrease for high mean flux density sources and, most importantly, for high redshift sources. The decrease in variability is probably due either to an increase in the apparent diameter of the source, or a decrease in the flux density of the compact fraction beyond z ~ 2. Here we present a statistical analysis of these results, and a future paper will the discuss the cosmological implications in detail.

description: The sodium cobaltate family (NaxCoO2) is unique among transition metal oxides because the Co sits on a triangular lattice and its valence can be tuned over a wide range by varying the Na concentration x. Up to now detailed modeling of the rich phenomenology (which ranges from unconventional superconductivity to enhanced thermopower) has been hampered by the difficulty of controlling pure phases. We discovered that certain Na concentrations are specially stable and are associated with superlattice ordering of the Na clusters. This leads naturally to a picture of co-existence of localized spins and itinerant charge carriers. For x = 0.84 we found a remarkably small Fermi energy of 87 K. Our picture brings coherence to a variety of measurements ranging from NMR to optical to thermal transport. Our results also allow us to take the first step towards modeling the mysterious ``Curie-Weiss'' metal state at x = 0.71. We suggest the local moments may form a quantum spin liquid state and we propose experimental test of our hypothesis.

description: We extend the Bipolar Theorem of Brannath and Schachermayer (1999) to the space of nonnegative cadlag supermartingales on a filtered probability space. We formulate the notion of fork-convexity as an analogue to convexity in this setting. As an intermediate step in the proof of our main result we establish a conditional version of the Bipolar theorem. In an application to mathematical finance we describe the structure of the set of dual processes of the utility maximization problem of Kramkov and Schachermayer (1999) and give a budget-constraint characterization of admissible consumption processes in an incomplete semimartingale market.

description: Extremely compact objects trap gravitational waves or neutrinos, assumed to move along null geodesics in the trapping regions. The trapping of neutrinos was extensively studied for spherically symmetric extremely compact objects constructed under the simplest approximation of the uniform energy density distribution, with radius located under the photosphere of the external spacetime; in addition, uniform emissivity distribution of neutrinos was assumed in these studies. Here we extend the studies of the neutrino trapping for the case of the extremely compact Tolman VII objects representing the simplest generalization of the internal Schwarzschild solution with uniform distribution of the energy density, and the correspondingly related distribution of the neutrino emissivity that is thus again proportional to the energy density; radius of such extremely compact objects can overcome the photosphere of the external Schwarzschild spacetime. In dependence on the parameters of the Tolman VII spacetimes, we determine the "local" and "global" coefficients of efficiency of the trapping and demonstrate that the role of the trapping is significantly stronger than in the internal Schwarzschild spacetimes. Our results indicate possible influence of the neutrino trapping in cooling of neutron stars.

description: We study the thermal and electric transport of a fluid of interacting Dirac fermions using a Boltzmann approach. We include Coulomb interactions, a dilute density of charged impurities and the presence of a magnetic field to describe both the static and the low frequency response as a function of temperature T and chemical potential mu. In the quantum-critical regime mu << T we find pronounced deviations from Fermi liquid behavior, such as a collective cyclotron resonance with an intrinsic, collision-broadened width, and significant enhancements of the Mott and Wiedemann-Franz ratio. Some of these results have been anticipated by a relativistic hydrodynamic theory, whose precise range of validity and failure at large fields and frequencies we determine. The Boltzmann approach allows us to go beyond the hydrodynamic regime, and to quantitatively describe the deviations from magnetohydrodynamics, the crossover to disorder dominated Fermi liquid behavior at large doping and low temperatures, as well as the crossover to the ballistic regime at high fields. Finally, we obtain the full frequency and doping dependence of the single universal conductivity sigma_Q which parametrizes the hydrodynamic response.

description: Side-channel attacks are a major threat to the security of cryptographic implementations, particularly for small devices that are under the physical control of the adversary. While several strategies for protecting against side-channel attacks exist, these often fail in practice due to unintended interactions between values deep within the CPU. To detect and protect from side-channel attacks, several automated tools have recently been proposed; one of their common limitations is that they only support first-order leakage. In this work, we present the first automated tool for detecting and eliminating higher-order leakage from cryptographic implementations. Rosita++ proposes statistical and software-based tools to allow high-performance higher-order leakage detection. It then uses the code rewrite engine of Rosita (Shelton et al. NDSS 2021) to eliminate detected leakage. For the sake of practicality we evaluate Rosita++ against second and third order leakage, but our framework is not restricted to only these orders. We evaluate Rosita++ against second-order leakage with three-share implementations of two ciphers, PRESENT and Xoodoo, and with the second-order Boolean-to-arithmetic masking, a core building block of masked implementations of many cryptographic primitives, including SHA-2, ChaCha and Blake. We show effective second-order leakage elimination at a performance cost of 36% for Xoodoo, 189% for PRESENT, and 29% for the Boolean-to-arithmetic masking. For third-order analysis, we evaluate Rosita++ against the third-order leakage using a four-share synthetic example that corresponds to typical four-share processing. Rosita++ correctly identified this leakage and applied code fixes.

description: Polarization offers a unique view in the physical processes of astrophysical jets. We report on optical circular polarization observations of two famous blazars, namely 3C 279 and PKS 1510-089, at high linearly polarized states. This is the first time PKS 1510-089 is observed in optical circular polarization. While only upper limits can be extracted from our observing campaign, the non-detection of optical circular polarization allows us to provide meaningful constraints on their magnetic field strength and jet composition. We find that high-energy emission models requiring high magnetic field strength and a low positron fraction can be excluded.

description: Given an inclusion $B \subset F$ of (graded) local nets, we analyse the structure of the corresponding inclusion of scaling limit nets $B_0 \subset F_0$, giving conditions, fulfilled in free field theory, under which the unicity of the scaling limit of $F$ implies that of the scaling limit of $B$. As a byproduct, we compute explicitly the (unique) scaling limit of the fixpoint nets of scalar free field theories. In the particular case of an inclusion $A \subset B$ of local nets with the same canonical field net $F$, we find sufficient conditions which entail the equality of the canonical field nets of $A_0$ and $B_0$.

description: A ideia de Getúlio Vargas em alterar as características econômicas e sociais do Brasil foi concretizada com a construção da Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN), juntamente com a urbanização do então distrito de Volta Redonda - pertencente ao município de Barra Mansa no sul-fluminense - e o recrutamento de desempregados e trabalhadores rurais oriundos de regiões próximas - sobretudo da zona da mata do estado de Minas Gerais. Todo esse projeto foi o início da mudança de um Brasil rural e agrário para urbano e industrial. Este trabalho aborda desde a escolha da localidade para abrigar a indústria até a privatização desta, quando o modelo company-town deixou de existir e provocou profundas alterações econômicas e sociais no município de Volta Redonda que perduram até os dias de hoje.

description: A wildfire model is formulated based on balance equations for energy and fuel, where the fuel loss due to combustion corresponds to the fuel reaction rate. The resulting coupled partial differential equations have coefficients that can be approximated from prior measurements of wildfires. An ensemble Kalman filter technique with regularization is then used to assimilate temperatures measured at selected points into running wildfire simulations. The assimilation technique is able to modify the simulations to track the measurements correctly even if the simulations were started with an erroneous ignition location that is quite far away from the correct one.

description: The charge dynamics of spin-liquid states described by U(1) gauge theory coupling to fermionic spinons is discussed in this paper. We find that the gapless spinons give rise to a power law optical conductivity inside the charge gap. The theory is applied to explain the unusual optical conductivity observed recently in the organic compound $κ-(BEDT-TTF)_2Cu_2(CN)_3$. We also propose an optical experiment to search for the in-gap excitations in the Kagome spin liquid insulator.

Discovery from brain image data (and more): language in the brain

description: How does the human brain use neural activity to create and represent meanings of words, phrases, sentences and stories?  One way to study this question is to collect brain image data to observe neural activity while people read text.  We have been doing such experiments with fMRI (1 mm spatial resolution) and MEG (1 msec time resolution) brain imaging, and developing novel machine learning approaches to analyze this data.  As a result, we have learned answers to questions such as "Are the neural encodings of word meaning the same in your brain and mine?", and "What sequence of neurally encoded information flows through the brain during the half-second in which the brain comprehends a word?"  This talk will summarize our machine learning approach to data discovery, and some of what we have learned about the human brain as a result.  We will also consider the question of how reuse and aggregation of such scientific data might change the future of research in cognitive neuroscience.

Explainability and verification in medical AI
Creators: name: London, Alex John

description: Breakthroughs in machine learning are enabling the creation of automated systems to perform a wide range of diagnostic and predictive tasks in medicine.  Essential to securing and maintaining trust in health care providers and health systems are clear practices and procedures to ensure accountability and respect for the freedom of stakeholders from arbitrary interreference.  A common proposal for achieving these goals imposes requirements like explainability or interpretability that seek, in different ways, to lay out the operation of such systems to human inspection.  Because the most powerful AI systems are often “black-boxes,” these requirements may be purchased at the price of reduced predictive accuracy.  In this talk I argue that such requirements are misguided in domains—such as medicine—where our theories of disease pathophysiology and drug mechanism are often precarious and under-developed. Instead, I argue that we should promote trust and accountability by clearly defining the tasks such systems can perform, the conditions necessary to ensure acceptable system performance, and rigorously validating their accuracy under those well-defined conditions in real-world contexts.

description: Microbiome studies have recently transitioned from experimental designs with a few hundred samples to designs spanning tens of thousands of samples. Modern studies such as the Earth Microbiome Project (EMP) afford the statistics crucial for untangling the many factors that influence microbial community composition. Analyzing those data used to require access to a compute cluster, making it both expensive and inconvenient. We show that recent improvements in both hardware and software now allow to compute key bioinformatics tasks on EMP-sized data in minutes using a gaming-class laptop, enabling much faster and broader microbiome science insights.

description: We consider the problem of maximizing expected utility from consumption in a constrained incomplete semimartingale market with a random endowment process, and establish a general existence and uniqueness result using techniques from convex duality. The notion of asymptotic elasticity of Kramkov and Schachermayer is extended to the time-dependent case. By imposing no smoothness requirements on the utility function in the temporal argument, we can treat both pure consumption and combined consumption/terminal wealth problems, in a common framework. To make the duality approach possible, we provide a detailed characterization of the enlarged dual domain which is reminiscent of the enlargement of $L^1$ to its topological bidual $(L^{\infty})^*$, a space of finitely-additive measures. As an application, we treat the case of a constrained It\^ o-process market-model.

description: Despite advances in the conceptualisation of facial mimicry, its role in the processing of social information is a matter of debate. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between mimicry and cognitive and emotional empathy. To assess mimicry, facial electromyography was recorded for 70 participants while they completed the Multifaceted Empathy Test, which presents complex context-embedded emotional expressions. As predicted, inter-individual differences in emotional and cognitive empathy were associated with the level of facial mimicry. For positive emotions, the intensity of the mimicry response scaled with the level of state emotional empathy. Mimicry was stronger for the emotional empathy task compared to the cognitive empathy task. The specific empathy condition could be successfully detected from facial muscle activity at the level of single individuals using machine learning techniques. These results support the view that mimicry occurs depending on the social context as a tool to affiliate and it is involved in cognitive as well as emotional empathy.

description: Although borderline personality disorder (BPD) and schizophrenia (SZ) are notably different mental disorders, they share problems in social cognition—or understanding the feelings, intentions and thoughts of other people. To date no studies have directly compared the social cognitive abilities of individuals with these two disorders. In this study, the social cognitive subdomain theory of mind was investigated in women with BPD (n = 25), women with SZ (n = 25) and healthy women (n = 25). An ecologically valid video-based measure (Movie for the Assessment of Social Cognition) was used. For the overall score, women with SZ performed markedly below both healthy women and women with BPD, whereas women with BPD did not perform significantly different compared to the healthy control group. A statistically significant error type × group interaction effect indicated that the groups differed with respect to kind of errors. Whereas women with BPD made mostly overmentalizing errors, women with SZ in addition committed undermentalizing errors. Our study suggests different magnitude and pattern of social cognitive problems in BPD and SZ.

description: Sarcasm is a sophisticated way of wrapping any immanent truth, mes-sage, or even mockery within a hilarious manner. The advent of communications using social networks has mass-produced new avenues of socialization. It can be further said that humor, irony, sarcasm, and wit are the four chariots of being socially funny in the modern days. In this paper, we manually extract the sarcastic word distribution features of a benchmark pop culture sarcasm corpus, containing sarcastic dialogues and monologues. We generate input sequences formed of the weighted vectors from such words. We further propose an amalgamation of four parallel deep long-short term networks (pLSTM), each with distinctive activation classifier. These modules are primarily aimed at successfully detecting sarcasm from the text corpus. Our proposed model for detecting sarcasm peaks a training accuracy of 98.95% when trained with the discussed dataset. Consecutively, it obtains the highest of 98.31% overall validation accuracy on two handpicked Project Gutenberg English humor literature among all the test cases. Our approach transcends previous state-of-the-art works on several sarcasm corpora and results in a new gold standard performance for sarcasm detection.

The Influence of Reward on Facial Mimicry: No Evidence for a Significant Effect of Oxytocin

description: Recent findings suggest a role of oxytocin on the tendency to spontaneously mimic the emotional facial expressions of others. Oxytocin-related increases of facial mimicry, however, seem to be dependent on contextual factors. Given previous literature showing that people preferentially mimic emotional expressions of individuals associated with high (vs. low) rewards, we examined whether the reward value of the mimicked agent is one factor influencing the oxytocin effects on facial mimicry. To test this hypothesis, 60 male adults received 24 IU of either intranasal oxytocin or placebo in a double-blind, between-subject experiment. Next, the value of male neutral faces was manipulated using an associative learning task with monetary rewards. After the reward associations were learned, participants watched videos of the same faces displaying happy and angry expressions. Facial reactions to the emotional expressions were measured with electromyography.We found that participants judged as more pleasant the face identities associated with high reward values than with low reward values. However, happy expressions by low rewarding faces were more spontaneously mimicked than high rewarding faces. Contrary to our expectations, we did not find a significant direct effect of intranasal oxytocin on facial mimicry, nor on the reward-driven modulation of mimicry. Our results support the notion that mimicry is a complex process that depends on contextual factors, but failed to provide conclusive evidence of a role of oxytocin on the modulation of facial mimicry.

description: Over the past few decades, computational methods have been developed to estimate perceptual audio quality. These methods, also referred to as objective quality measures, are usually developed and intended for a specific application domain. Because of their convenience, they are often used outside their original intended domain, even if it is unclear whether they provide reliable quality estimates in this case. This work studies the correlation of well-known state-of-the-art objective measures with human perceptual scores in two different domains: audio coding and source separation. The following objective measures are considered: fwSNRseg, dLLR, PESQ, PEAQ, POLQA, PEMO-Q, ViSQOLAudio, (SI-)BSSEval, PEASS, LKR-PI, 2f-model, and HAAQI. Additionally, a novel measure (SI-SA2f) is presented, based on the 2f-model and a BSSEval-based signal decomposition. We use perceptual scores from 7 listening tests about audio coding and 7 listening tests about source separation as ground-truth data for the correlation analysis. The results show that one method (2f-model) performs significantly better than the others on both domains and indicate that the dataset for training the method and a robust underlying auditory model are crucial factors towards a universal, domain-independent objective measure.
Theory of non-equilibrium thermoelectric effects in nanoscale junctions

description: Despite its intrinsic non-equilibrium origin, thermoelectricity in nanoscale systems is usually described within a static scattering approach which disregards the dynamical interaction with the thermal baths that maintain energy flow. Using the theory of open quantum systems we show instead that unexpected properties, such as a resonant structure and large sign sensitivity, emerge if the non-equilibrium nature of this problem is considered. Our approach also allows us to define and study a local temperature, which shows hot spots and oscillations along the system according to the coupling of the latter to the electrodes. This demonstrates that Fourier's law -- a paradigm of statistical mechanics -- is violated at the nanoscale.

description: The gluon condensate is very sensitive to the QCD deconfinement transition since its value changes drastically with the deconfinement transition. We calculate the gluon condensate dependence of the heavy quark potential in AdS/CFT to study how the property of the heavy quarkonium is affected by a relic of the deconfinement transition. We observe that the heavy quark potential becomes deeper as the value of the gluon condensate decreases. We interpret this as a dropping of the heavy quarkonium mass just above the deconfinement transition, which is similar to the results obtained from QCD sum rule and from a bottom-up AdS/QCD model.
