title: Nonlinear Effects in Three-minute Oscillations of the Solar Chromosphere. II. Measurement of Nonlinearity Parameters at Different Atmospheric Levels

authors: Chae, Jongchul

subjects: Science & Technology

abstract: Recent theoretical studies suggest that the nonlinearity of three-minute velocity oscillations at each atmospheric level can be quantified by the two independent parameters—the steepening parameter and the velocity amplitude parameter. For the first time, we measured these two parameters at different atmospheric levels by analyzing a set of spectral lines formed at different heights of sunspots ranging from the temperature minimum to the transition region. The spectral data were taken by the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph of the Goode Solar Telescope, and by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph. As a result, from the wavelet power spectra of the velocity oscillations at different heights, we clearly identified the growth of the second harmonic oscillations associated with the steepening of the velocity oscillation, indicating that higher-frequency oscillations of periods of 1.2 to 1.5 minutes originate from the nonlinearity of the three-minute oscillations in the upper chromosphere. We also found that the variation of the measured nonlinearity parameters is consistent with the theoretical expectation that the nonlinearity of the three-minute oscillations increases with height, and shock waves form in the upper chromosphere. There are, however, discrepancies as well between theory and observations, suggesting the need to improve both theory and the measurement technique.

title: Racing for conditional independence inference

authors: Bouckaert, Remco R.

subjects: computer science

abstract: In this article, we consider the computational aspects of deciding whether a conditional independence statement t is implied by a list of conditional independence statements L using the implication related to the method of structural imsets. We present two methods which have the interesting complementary properties that one method performs well to prove that t is implied by L, while the other performs well to prove that t is not implied by L. However, both methods do not perform well the opposite. This gives rise to a parallel algorithm in which both methods race against each other in order to determine effectively whether t is or is not implied.
Some empirical evidence is provided that suggest this racing algorithms method performs a lot better than an existing method based on so-called skeletal characterization of the respective implication. Furthermore, the method is able to handle more than five variables.

title: Te kura o Ruatoki 1896 - 1979

authors: Williams, Kim Reina Reremoana

subjects: Ruatoki Native School

abstract: Ko tēnei tuhinga roa e kōrero ana mō te Kura o Ruatoki i roto i te rohe o te iwi o Tūhoe. I whakatūria he kura i te tau 1896 i runga i te inoi a ngā Koroua ki te Kāwanatanga o taua wā.
Hai te Upoko tuatahi, ka whakatakotoria ngā kōrero mō te āhua o te whenua, ngā tāngata me ā rātau nekeneke. Tutū ana te puehu i runga i ngā whakatū waewae ki te iwi, ki te Pākehā hoki mō taua whenua.
Hai te Upoko tuarua ka takoto ngā kōrero mō te heke o ngā pānui o ngā inoi, ngā reta a ngā Koroua ki te Kāwanatanga mō te whakatū i tētahi Kura i Ruatoki. Te nuinga o ēnei rauemi i rangahaua, i kitea, i te Whare pukapuka o Pōneke. Ko ētahi i te Whare pukapuka o Tāmaki. Ka tau te tono, ka kitea te tūtukitanga o te ao Pākehā ki te ao Māori, otirā, kua puta te kaupapa i whakatūria ake ai te kura hei whakatangata whenua i ngā tāngata, i ngā aronga hinengaro Māori kia rite ki tō te Pākehā.
Hai te Upoko tuatoru ka tirohia ko ngā tuhinga a ngā Tumuaki mai i te tau 1896 ki te tau 1979 mō te Kura o Ruatoki. Ka kite i roto i ā rātau tirohanga te āhua o tā rātau kaihautū i te rerenga o te kaupapa nei. Ko ngā kaihautū i te waka nei, he tūmau noa nā te Kāwanatanga hai whakatō i te Pākehātanga ki roto i te whatumanawa Māori.
He tini o te whārua i hinga i roto i ēnei tau i runga i ngā mate urutī, mate tauhou i pā ki roto i te whārua. Ahakoa tērā ka tukuna tonu ngā tamariki ki te kura i runga i te whakapono he oranga ka puta mai i reira. I te tau 1946 ka tū he kura tuarua, he Māori District High School. Ko te nuinga o ngā tamariki o Tawera rāua ko Ruatoki i haere mai ki tēnei kura. Tokoiti ia tau i whiwhi karahipi mō te haere ki ngā kura hāhi o Tīpene rāua ko Wikitōria. Tērā pea he tango atu i ēnei tamariki mai i ngā āhuatanga Māori o te whārua.
Hai te upoko tuawhā, ka whakakorehia te kura tuarua. Ko ngā take mō te katinga ka āta whakamāramahia. He mahi nanakia nā te tari Mātauranga me āna āpiha i runga i ngā nekeneke mō tēnei kaupapa.
Hai te Upoko tuarima ka whakarerekēhia ngā marautanga ako kia tau ko te kaupapa ako i roto i ngā reo e rua ki roto i te kura. He whakautu tēnei i te kōrero a Richard Benton o te N.Z.C.E.R e kī ana, "Kāore e roa ka ngaro te reo Māori." Koinei te wā i whakapihihia ake ai te kaupapa ako i roto i ngā reo e rua, ā, ka tiritiria ko te kaupapa Rumaki Reo.
Hai te Upoko tuaono ko te kōhuretanga o te kaupapa Māori me te puāwaitanga o ngā hinengaro me ngā wairua o ngā tamariki ki te āhua o te ako i ā rātau mahi i roto i tō rātau ake reo. I tīmatahia te kaupapa i te tau 1977. Tae rawa atu ki ngā tau o muri mai kua kitea kē te huringa o ngā ngākau ki te ako.
Hai te Upoko tuawhitu ka whakaatahia mai ngā whakanekeneke i raro i tēnei kaupapa. He nui ngā tutukitanga ki ngā ture i te whakatūtanga o ngā Kura mō Āpōpō.
Hei whakarāpopototanga i ngā moemoeā me ngā tūmanako ka titiro ake ki ngā waru tekau tau kua pahemo. Kua turuki ki te pō, ki te ao. Kua noho te pukenga o te kupu kōrero, kua taipū ngā kaupapa. Ko taku mahi he whakarārangi i ngā pikinga i ngā hekenga i ngā āhuatanga katoa i mahia i roto i tēnei kura mai kore ka kitea atu he māramatanga he huarahi rānei e tiketike ake ai ngā mahi ako, ngā akoranga, ki ēnei o ā tātau mokopuna o Ngāi Tūhoe e tipu mai nei. Nō reira ka hoki rawa ngā kauhau ki ērā i whakatakotohia mai e ngā mātua tīpuna. Ka tīkina atu te kōrero i reira hai whakatinana i ngā tūmanako mō te wharekura o Ruatoki i tēnei wā.
