description: This research paper seeks to determine pre- schoolers’ representations about the general characteristics of the natural phenomenon of clouds, their reasoning about the consisting elements and the formation procedures of clouds and finally, their ideas about the existence of clouds through time. The sample consisted of 22 children (12 boys and 10 girls) aged 5.5-6 years from one public kindergarten in an urban area in Greece. Data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews. The analysis of the qualitative data showed that although the preschoolers had fruitful representations, the majority of them encountered difficulties on approaching several aspects of the phenomenon. Children’s reasoning about the phenomenon also seemed to be without a stable and coherent structure. The need for a categorization of pre- schoolers’ representations based on the use of a system of concrete criteria and the prospect of a didactic approach leading to the creation of a precursor model is designated.

description: This communication aims to assess the conceptions of Togolese teachers (in service and in pre-service) about environment. Many studies have highlighted the role of anthropocentric and ecocentric values on teachers and students’ conceptions about environment. Anthropocentrism is ‘human-centred’, conferring intrinsic value mainly to humans. Ecocentrism is ‘ecosphere-centred’, emphasising the intrinsic value of the interrelated ecological systems. Moreover, a new conceptual axis related to anthropomorphic perspectives has been introduced in this work to analyse teacher’s conceptions. To what extent are the Togolese teachers aware of the importance of preserving the environment? Is there some correlation between their ecocentric, anthropocentric and anthropomorphic conceptions? To answer these questions, the Biohead-Citizen questionnaire was administered to 277 primary and secondary teachers, in service or pre-service, in Togo. Multivariate analyses show the presence and autonomy of the three kinds of conceptions, nevertheless with a positive correlation between ecocentric and anthropomorphic conceptions. Primary school teachers are more anthropocentric than their colleagues. These results are discussed in the perspective of improving environmental education in Togo. The discussion also includes a comparison between Togo and four other West and Central African countries (Senegal, Burkina Faso, Gabon, and Cameroon).

description: Cooperative relaying is utilized as an efficient method for data communication in wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, sometimes due to the necessity of multi-hop relaying in such communication networks, it is challenging to guarantee the secrecy of cooperative transmissions when the relays may themselves be eavesdroppers, i.e., we may face with the untrusted relaying scenario where the relays are both necessary helpers and potential adversary. To obviate this issue, a new cooperative jamming scheme is proposed in this paper, in which the data can be confidentially communicated from the source to the destination through multiple untrusted relays. In our proposed secure transmission scheme, all the legitimate nodes contribute to providing secure communication by intelligently injecting artificial noises to the network in different communication phases. For the sake of analysis, we consider a multi-hop untrusted relaying network with two successive intermediate nodes, i.e, a three-hop communications network. Given this system model, a new closed-form expression is presented in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region for the Ergodic secrecy rate (ESR). Furthermore, we evaluate the high SNR slope and power offset of the ESR to gain an insightful comparison of the proposed secure transmission scheme and the state-of-arts. Our numerical results highlight that the proposed secure transmission scheme provides better secrecy rate performance compared with the two-hop untrusted relaying as well as the direct transmission schemes.

description: The Earth sciences have a relevant role in building both scientific competences and citizenship skills; nevertheless, in Italian middle and high schools these are prevalently taught with a poorly effective transmissive approach. This work presents the results of a research carried out choosing the soil as a topic and a class of 11-12 years old pupils as target, aimed at exploring the effectiveness of laboratory-based teaching on the acquisition of permanent scientific competences and on the birth of an autonomous way of learning to learn. The teaching approach used well assessed didactic instruments such as the work group, the exercise book and the sharing of observations. The results show that most pupils were able to use the acquired scientific knowledges and skills in different situations and became more aware of their own learning.

description: Pattern formation induced by wrinkling is a very common phenomenon exhibited in soft-matter substrates. In all these systems wrinkles develop in presence of compressively stressed thin films lying on compliant substrates. Here we demonstrate the controlled growth of self-organized nanopatterns exploiting a wrinkling instability on a solid-state substrate. Soda-lime glasses are modified in the surface layers by a defocused ion beam which triggers the formation of a compressively stressed surface layer deprived of alkali ions. When the substrate is heated up near its glass transition temperature, the wrinkling instability boosts the growth rate of the pattern by about two orders of magnitude. High aspect ratio anisotropic ripples bound by faceted ridges are thus formed which represent an optimal template for guiding the growth of large area arrays of functional nanostructures. We demonstrate the engineering over large square cm areas of quasi-1D arrays of Au nanostripe dimers endowed with tunable plasmonic response, strong optical dichroism and high electrical conductivity. These peculiar functionalities allow to exploit these large area substrates as active metamaterials in nanophotonics, biosensing and optoelectronics.

Ethics as a Humanistic Inquiry

subject: Humanism

description: This dissertation argues that ethics is fundamentally mind-dependent. Ethics is invented by humans, to solve the problems that mutually sympathetic agents find in living together. Ethical discovery is the discovery of solutions to the kinds of problems that humans find themselves to face. Views of this kind are familiar, but I attempt to re-orient the debate. Many philosophers see questions about the foundations of ethics as fundamentally theoretical, arguing for one view or another on metaphysical or linguistic grounds. I argue that the question of which metaethical view we adopt is a substantive, first-order moral question. And, contrary to many, I think that first-order considerations speak in favour of a variety of anti-realism. We should reject the search for non-natural, mind-independent, objective moral truths as morally objectionable: it denigrates interpersonal concern, making the significance of moral and practical life dependent upon abstractions remote from what we care about and ought to care about. By contrast, seeing norms of morality and practical rationality as collectively created by processes of interpersonal sympathy shows why they matter, and explains the goals and methods of moral inquiry.

description: Implications 3D printing technology in the learning of new manufacturing technology and engineering are growing rapidly. 3D printing is a process of manufacturing solid objects and parts from a digital model without cutting tools and fixture systems. Although 3D printing is a powerful tool to empower learners through object creation, the need to put this learning in the context of education is necessary. This paper discusses how an Activity Theory model outlines and makes clearer the interactions student/ 3D printer learning in a global education context.

A Pattern-Hierarchy Classifier for Reduced Teaching
Creators: name: Greer, Kieran
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper describes a design that can be used for Explainable AI. The lower level is a nested ensemble of patterns created by self-organisation. The upper level is a hierarchical tree, where nodes are linked through individual concepts, so there is a transition from mixed ensemble masses to specific categories. Lower-level pattern ensembles are learned in an unsupervsised manner and then split into branches when it is clear that the category has changed. Links between the two levels define that the concepts are learned and missing links define that they are guessed only. This paper proposes some new clustering algorithms for producing the pattern ensembles, that are themselves an ensemble which converges through aggregations. Multiple solutions are also combined, to make the final result more robust. One measure of success is how coherent these ensembles are, which means that every data row in the cluster belongs to the same category. The total number of clusters is also important and the teaching phase can correct the ensemble estimates with respect to both of these. A teaching phase would then help the classifier to learn the true category for each input row. During this phase, any classifier can learn or infer correct classifications from some other classifier's knowledge, thereby reducing the required number of presentations. As the information is added, cross-referencing between the two structures allows it to be used more widely, where a unique structure can build up that would not be possible by either method separately.

description: This paper investigates five and six-year old children’s ability to employ logical reasoning in their in-class argumentation. Thirteen pre-school children participated in the study. The children were involved in organized dialogues in order to investigate their ability to construct logical arguments. A simplified version of Toulmin’s argumentation scheme (including only data, claim and warrant) was adopted in order to analyse the students’ reasoning and to identify the different types of argumentation. Our findings suggested that the structure of the children’s arguments accords with the reasoning found in formal logic, including inductive reasoning, as well as reasoning based on the law of excluded middle.

The deformation of an orbit is realized by taking the quotient of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of the given Lie group, by a suitable ideal. A comparison with geometric quantization in the case of SU(2) is done where both methods agree.

Newtonian Gravitational Waves from a Continuum

description: Gravitational waves are being shown to derive directly from Newtonian dynamics for a continuous mass distribution, e g compressible fluids or equivalent. It is shown that the equations governing a continuous mass distribution, i e the inviscid Navier Stokes equations for a general variable gravitational field g(t,x), are equivalent to a form identical to Maxwell equations from electromagnetism, subject to a specified condition. The consequence of this equivalence is the creation of gravity waves that propagate at finite speed. The latter implies that Newtonian gravitation as presented in this paper is not spooky action at a distance but rather is similar to electromagnetic waves propagating at finite speed, despite the apparent form appearing in the integrated field formula. In addition, this proves that in analogy to Maxwell equations the Newtonian gravitation equations are Lorentz invariant for waves propagating at the speed of light.

description: Since the reform of the high school in 2010, few researches are made in France on the impact of rapid prototyping processes on the learning of pupils in technological education. So, with the evolution of the digital manufacturing technologies, we ask the question of the contribution of the 3D printer in classroom. We make the hypothesis that their use by pupils, allows them to build a better interpretation of the task prescribed within the framework of a design activity. From written tracks, graphic intermediaries, and prototypes, produced by pupils, we realize an analysis of activity, allowing the description of the design process operated by pupils. Our study can clear up the way pupils understand and use 3D printer; this understanding can contribute to help the teacher in his follow-up of the learning of pupils.

Our algorithm constructs both trigonometric and quantum R matrices; all of which are graded, in that they solve a graded Yang-Baxter equation. This grading is easily removed, yielding R matrices that solve the usual Yang-Baxter equation. For m>2, the computations are impracticable for a human to perform, so we have implemented the entire process in Mathematica, and then performed the computations for m=1,2,3 and 4.

This analysis is performed using the theory of joint action in didactics (JATD). The JATD has provided us with tools such as the determinants of didactic action that describe the action of teachers and try to understand their practices. Thus we have identified points of similarities and differences in the way each teacher to play the didactic play.

The conditions observed in this study are the number of elements included in the energetic chain, the total number of objects presented to the students on each picture and the type of objects that the pictures refer to. A methodology type survey from questionnaire was implemented to understand these effects. The results show that the size of the chain and the number of objects on the picture have an impact on the energetic chains made by the students, while the type of objects that the pictures refer to appears to have little influence.

description: Adaptive S-norm (AS-norm) calibrates automatic speaker verification (ASV) scores by normalizing them utilize the scores of impostors which are similar to the input speaker. However, AS-norm does not involve any learning process, limiting its ability to provide appropriate regularization strength for various evaluation utterances. To address this limitation, we propose a trainable AS-norm (TAS-norm) that leverages learnable impostor embeddings (LIEs), which are used to compose the cohort. These LIEs are initialized to represent each speaker in a training dataset consisting of impostor speakers. Subsequently, LIEs are fine-tuned by simulating an ASV evaluation. We utilize a margin penalty during top-scoring IEs selection in fine-tuning to prevent non-impostor speakers from being selected. In our experiments with ECAPA-TDNN, the proposed TAS-norm observed 4.11% and 10.62% relative improvement in equal error rate and minimum detection cost function, respectively, on VoxCeleb1-O trial compared with standard AS-norm without using proposed LIEs. We further validated the effectiveness of the TAS-norm on additional ASV datasets comprising Persian and Chinese, demonstrating its robustness across different languages.

Conformal theory of central surface density for galactic dark halos
Creators: name: Nesbet, Robert K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Numerous dark matter studies of galactic halo gravitation depend on models with core radius $r_0$ and central density $ρ_0$. Central surface density product $ρ_0 r_0$ is found to be nearly a universal constant for a large range of galaxies. Standard variational field theory with Weyl conformal symmetry postulated for gravitation and the Higgs scalar field, without dark matter, implies nonclassical centripetal acceleration $Δa$, for $a=a_N+Δa$, where Newtonian acceleration $a_N$ is due to observable baryonic matter. Neglecting a halo cutoff at very large galactic radius, conformal $Δa$ is constant over the entire halo and $a=a_N+Δa$ is a universal function, consistent with a recent study of galaxies that constrains acceleration due to dark matter or to alternative theory. An equivalent dark matter source is a pure cusp distribution with cutoff parameter determined by a halo boundary radius. This is shown here to imply universal central surface density for any dark matter core model.

description: Reverse time migration (RTM) is an algorithm widely used in the oil and gas industry to process seismic data. It is a computationally intensive task that suits well in parallel computers. Methods such as RTM can be parallelized in shared memory systems through scheduling iterations of parallel loops to threads. However, several aspects, such as memory size and hierarchy, number of cores, and input size, make optimal scheduling very challenging. In this paper, we introduce a run-time strategy to automatically tune the dynamic scheduling of parallel loops iterations in iterative applications, such as the RTM, in multicore systems. The proposed method aims to reduce the execution time of such applications. To find the optimal granularity, we propose a coupled simulated annealing (CSA) based auto-tuning strategy that adjusts the chunk size of work that OpenMP parallel loops assign dynamically to worker threads during the initialization of a 3D RTM application. Experiments performed with different computational systems and input sizes show that the proposed method is consistently better than the default OpenMP schedulers, static, auto, and guided, causing the application to be up to 33% faster. We show that the possible reason for this performance is the reduction of cache misses, mainly level L3, and low overhead, inferior to 2%. Having shown to be robust and scalable for the 3D RTM, the proposed method could also improve the performance of similar wave-based algorithms, such as full-waveform inversion (FWI) and other iterative applications.

description: The polar diagram of a set of points in a plane and its extracted dual EDPD were recently introduced for
static and dynamic cases. In this paper, the near-pole polar diagram NPPD for a set of points is presented.
This new diagram can be considered as a generalization of the polar diagram and has applications in several communication systems and robotics problems. After reviewing the NPPD of points, we solve
the problem for a set of line segments and simple polygons in optimal time (n log n), where n is the
number of line segments or polygon vertices. We introduce duality for the NPPD of points and identify
some applications.

description: The presence of gas hydrate and free gas within marine sediments, deposited along the South Shetland margin, offshore the Antarctic Peninsula, was confirmed by low and high resolution geophysical data, acquired during three research cruises. Seismic data analysis has revealed the presence of a bottom simulating reflector that is very strong and continuous in the eastern part of the margin. This area can be considered as a useful site to study the seismic characteristics of sediments containing gas hydrate, with a particular focus on the estimation of gas hydrate and free gas amounts in the pore space. Pre-stack depth migration and tomographic inversion were performed to produce a regional velocity field of gas-phase bearing sediments and to obtain information about the average thickness of gas hydrate and free gas layers. Using these data and theoretical models, the gas hydrate and free gas concentrations can be estimated. Moreover, the common image gather semblance analysis revealed the presence of detailed features, such as layers with small thickness characterised by low velocity alternating with high velocity layers, below and above the bottom simulating reflector. These layers are associated with free gas trapped within the hydrate stability zone and deeper sediments. Thus, the use of the detailed and the regional velocity field analysis is important to give a more reliable estimate of gas content in the marine sediments.

description: In many cases, batteries used in light e-mobility vehicles such as e-bikes and e-scooters do not have an active thermal management system. This poses a challenge when these batteries are stored in sub-zero temperatures and need to be charged. In such cases, it becomes necessary to move the batteries to a warmer location and allow them to acclimatize before charging. However, this is not always feasible, especially for batteries installed permanently in vehicles. In this work, we present an internal high-frequency AC heater for a 48 V battery, which is used for light electric vehicles of EU vehicle classes L1e and L3e-A1 for a power supply of up to 11 kW. We have taken advantage of the features of a damped oscillating circuit to improve the performance of the heater. Additionally, only a small inductor was added to the main current path through a cable with three windings. Furthermore, as the power electronics of the heater is part of the battery main switch, fewer additional parts inside the battery are required and therefore a cost and space reduction compared to other heaters is possible. For the chosen setup we reached a heating rate of up to 2.13 K min -1 and it was possible to raise the battery temperature from -10 °C to 10 °C using only 3.1% of its own usable capacity.

description: Campylobacter jejuni is a major bacterial cause of food-borne enteritis, and its lipooligosaccharide (LOS) plays an initiating role in the development of the autoimmune neuropathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, by induction of anti-neural cross-reactive antibodies through ganglioside molecular mimicry. Herein we describe the existence and heterogeneity of multiple LOS forms in C. jejuni strains of human and chicken origin grown at 37°C and 42°C. The C. jejuni NCTC 11168 original isolate (11168-O) was compared to the genome-sequenced variant (11168-GS), and both were found to have a lower-Mr LOS form, which was different in size and structure to the previously characterized higher-Mr form bearing GM1 mimicry. The lower-Mr form production was found to be dependent on the growth temperature as the production of this form increased from ~5 %, observed at 37°C to ~35 % at 42°C. The structure of the lower-Mr form contained a Galβ1,3GalNAc disaccharide moiety which is consistent with the termini of the GM1, asialo-GM1, GD1, GT1 and GQ1 gangliosides, however, it did not display GM1 mimicry as assessed in blotting studies but was shown by NMR analysis to resemble asialo-GM1. The production of multiple LOS forms and lack of GM1 mimicry was not a result of phase variation in the genes tested for NCTC 11168 and was also observed in most of the human and chicken isolates of C. jejuni tested.

description: Double white dwarf binaries are a leading explanation to the origin of type Ia supernovae, but no system exceeding the Chandrasekhar mass limit (1.4 M$_\odot$) has been found that will explode anywhere close to a Hubble time. Here, we present the super-Chandrasekhar mass double white dwarf WDJ181058.67+311940.94 whose merger time ($22.6\pm1.0$ Gyr) is of the same order as a Hubble time. The mass of the binary is large, combining to $1.555\pm0.044$ M$_\odot$, while being located only 49 pc away. We predict that the binary will explode dynamically via a double detonation destroying both stars just before they merge, appearing as a subluminous type Ia supernova with a peak apparent magnitude of about $m_V=-16$ (200,000 times brighter than Jupiter). The observationally-derived birthrate of super-Chandrasekhar mass double white dwarfs is now at least $6.0\times10^{-4}$ yr$^{-1}$ and the observed rate of type Ia supernovae in the Milky Way from such systems is approximately $4.4\times10^{-5}$ yr$^{-1}$, while the predicted type Ia supernova rate in the Milky Way from all progenitor channels is about sixty times larger. Hence, WDJ181058.67+311940.94 mitigates the observed deficit of massive double white dwarfs witnessed in volume-complete populations, but further evidence is required to determine the majority progenitors of type Ia supernovae.

The beginning of the end for massive proto-cluster galaxies at z~2.
Creators: name: Harshan, Anishya
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Understanding the build-up of stellar mass is one of the primary goals of extra-galactic astronomy. Various theoretical and observational studies find that star formation activity for galaxies in high density region peaks between redshift z=3-5, whereas for galaxies in the low density environment it peaks between redshift z=1-2. I will present the first measurements of formation histories of galaxies in a proto-cluster at z~2. We use Spectral Energy Distribution fitting module Prospector to measure the star formation histories. I will demonstrate how environment affects the stellar mass build-up in high stellar mass galaxies in our sample and how the relative star formation histories of galaxies at z=2 depends on their stellar masses. I will also present a comparison of star formation histories from Prospector to star formation histories from IllsutrisTNG cosmological simulations and discuss the role of mergers and their gas fractions in shaping the star formation histories of galaxies till z=2.
Ethics to Art:  Vasily Grossman's Poetics as the Realization of His Philosophy

description: This dissertation examines key texts from the intermediate and mature periods of Vasily Grossman’s career in order to determine the relationship between his evolving philosophy and the poetics that characterize his writing. While significant critique has been applied to the nature of Grossman’s philosophy, comparatively less has looked at the aesthetic and technical aspects of his writing itself; still less to the connection between Grossman’s abstract concepts and his accomplished texts. My effort has been to bridge the gap between these two areas of inquiry and to ascertain the quality of their tightly intertwined and complex relationship. I analyze four of Grossman’s key texts in depth, with reference to several other writings. Of the primary texts considered in my study, two are essays from the writer’s intermediate period: “The Hell of Treblinka” («Треблинский ад») and “The Sistine Madonna” («Сикстинская мадонна»);” of the two longer works, one is Grossman’s multi-volume masterpiece novel Life and Fate (Жизнь и судьба) and the other is his novella (повесть) and final fictional work Everything Flows (Все течет). These texts were chosen for their aptness at demonstrating key features of Grossman’s prosody and philosophical thinking, both those that remained constant and those that evolved over time. The following study establishes that Grossman’s writing itself, by means of the formal structures he employs throughout his works, constitutes the embodiment and realization of his ethics. Specifically, the following work considers modes of movement and generation in Grossman’s writing that speak to the value he places on the individual human experience.

description: Extracting information from nonlinear measurements is a fundamental challenge in data analysis. In this work, we consider separable inverse problems, where the data are modeled as a linear combination of functions that depend nonlinearly on certain parameters of interest. These parameters may represent neuronal activity in a human brain, frequencies of electromagnetic waves, fluorescent probes in a cell, or magnetic relaxation times of biological tissues. Separable nonlinear inverse problems can be reformulated as underdetermined sparse-recovery problems, and solved using convex programming. This approach has had empirical success in a variety of domains, from geophysics to medical imaging, but lacks a theoretical justification. In particular, compressed-sensing theory does not apply, because the measurement operators are deterministic and violate incoherence conditions such as the restricted-isometry property. Our main contribution is a theory for sparse recovery adapted to deterministic settings. We show that convex programming succeeds in recovering the parameters of interest, as long as their values are sufficiently distinct with respect to the correlation structure of the measurement operator. The theoretical results are illustrated through numerical experiments for two applications: heat-source localization and estimation of brain activity from electroencephalography data.

description: Let $A$ be a graded C*-algebra. We characterize Kasparov's K-theory group $\hat{K}_0(A)$ in terms of graded *-homomorphisms by proving a general converse to the functional calculus theorem for self-adjoint regular operators on graded Hilbert modules. An application to the index theory of elliptic differential operators on smooth closed manifolds and asymptotic morphisms is discussed.
