FIELD EXPERIENCE AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY-BASED LITERACY INSTRUCTION

This action research involves the use of Grossman's representation, decomposition and approximation framework in field experience and how pre-service teachers can use digital tools in literacy instruction. The analysis of the data revealed that pre-service teachers' participation in this action research had an impact on their self-efficacy beliefs towards literacy teaching (SEB-TL) and microteaching skills, and that the participants felt that teaching a field experience-based literacy instruction course (LIC) integrating the use of digital tools contributed positively to their professional development. Based on the research findings, the need to integrate digital tools into literacy instruction in teacher education in the 21st century was discussed. In addition, the importance of simultaneous implementation of field experience and theory in literacy instruction was discussed by bringing an alternative perspective to teacher education programs, in which theoretical courses are given first and then theory and practice are combined.

Pauli–Villars Regularization of Kaluza–Klein Casimir Energy with Lorentz Symmetry

Abstract The Pauli–Villars regularization is appropriate to discuss the UV sensitivity of low-energy observables because it mimics how the contributions of new particles at high energies cancel large quantum corrections from the light particles in the effective field theory. We discuss the UV sensitivity of the Casimir energy density and pressure in an extra-dimensional model in this regularization scheme, and clarify the condition on the regulator fields to preserve the Lorentz symmetry of the vacuum state. Some of the conditions are automatically satisfied in spontaneously broken supersymmetric models, but supersymmetry is not enough to ensure the Lorentz symmetry. We show that the necessary regulators can be introduced as bulk fields. We also evaluate the Casimir energy density with such regulators, and its deviation from the result obtained in the analytic regularization.

Membrane fission via transmembrane contact

Division of intracellular organelles often correlates with additional membrane wrapping, e.g., by the endoplasmic reticulum or the outer mitochondrial membrane. Such wrapping plays a vital role in proteome and lipidome organization. However, how an extra membrane impacts the mechanics of the division has not been investigated. Here we combine fluorescence and cryo-electron microscopy experiments with self-consistent field theory to explore the stress-induced instabilities imposed by membrane wrapping in a simple double-membrane tubular system. We find that, at physiologically relevant conditions, the outer membrane facilitates an alternative pathway for the inner-tube fission through the formation of a transient contact (hemi-fusion) between both membranes. A detailed molecular theory of the fission pathways in the double membrane system reveals the topological complexity of the process, resulting both in leaky and leakless intermediates, with energies and topologies predicting physiological events.

A Proposal for method of cold nuclear fusion, based on new Axioms and Laws

It is known that the Classical field theory is based on 1 basic Axiom set by Maxwell (1864). This basic Axiom describes a field with movement along a closed loop and with constant speed. It is an ideal foundation for describing an Electromagnetic Field, but it is not suitable for other more complex fields with variable speed and different accelerations. The author has proposed a more general Theory of Extended Field which consists of 2 Axioms and 8 Laws. New Axiom1 describes a structure of field with movement along open loop or open vortex with variable speed. New Axiom2 describes two mutual orthogonal structures of fields which work in resonance. This new Theory leads to the following results: movement in a closed loop is replaced with movement in an open loop or vortex; evenly movement is replaced with unevenly movement (decelerated or accelerated) ; during its movement decelerating vortex emits primary free cross vortices, while accelerating vortices suck in of this same primary free cross vortices; movement in 2D is transformed into the movement in 3D; a transverse vortex in 2D generates a longitudinal vortex in 3D through a special transformation and vice versa - a longitudinal vortex in 3D through another special transformation generates the cross vortex in 2D. Now the author proposes to use a longitudinal accelerating vortex for cold fusion. With a force proportional to the positive acceleration, it will suck in both vortices and atoms - in this case the isotope of hydrogen (deuterium). The accelerator vortex sucks in and sticks two of all the deuterium, which will form helium in an exothermic reaction with the release of a lot of heat. A longitudinal acceleration vortex can be generated by applying Law 2. A decelerating transverse vortex in plane 2D (moving outside-inward) generates at its center a longitudinal accelerating vortex in 3D perpendicular to the 2D plane. This perpendicular accelerating vortex at the center pulls the transverse decelerating vortex up (against the Gravitational Force) or has quality of Anti-Gravity Force.

Optimal Vibration Fields in Problems of Modeling Dynamic States of Technical Objects

Introduction. Vibration interaction control is timely in production processes related to liquid and bulk media, systems of solids experiencing kinematic or force disturbances. At the same time, there is no single methodological basis for the formation of vibrational interactions. The issues of constructing optimal vibration fields of technical objects have not been addressed. The objective of the study is to develop a structural approach to the development of mathematical models in the problems of formation, evaluation, and correction of vibration fields of technical objects under conditions of intense force and kinematic loads. The task is to build vibration fields that are optimal in terms of the set of requirements, with the possibility of selecting the criterion of optimality of the vibration field of a technical object.Materials and Methods. A structural approach was used as the basic methodology. It was based on a comparison of mechanical vibratory systems used as computational schemes of technical objects, and structural schemes of automatic control systems, which are equivalent in dynamic terms. Lagrange formalism, elements of operational calculus based on Laplace integral transformations, sections of vibration theories, algebraic methods, and the theory of spline functions were used for structural mathematical modeling.Results. An approach to the selection of criteria for the optimality of vibration fields based on minimizing the residual of vibration fields for various required conditions was proposed. The problem was considered within the framework of a mechanical vibratory system formed by solids. It was shown that the optimal vibration field was determined by an external disturbance and was to satisfy condition Ay̅ = b. There, A — matrix mapping the operator of conditions to the shape of the vibration field at control points; b — vector of values of vibration field characteristics; “–” above y meant the vibration amplitude of the steady-state component of the coordinate. To evaluate the field with account for noisy or unreliable requirements for dynamic characteristics, the smoothing parameter was used, indicating the priority of the criterion of optimality of the vibration field shape. The construction of a field for a mechanical vibratory system showed that the value of the vibration amplitudes of generalized coordinates remained constant when the frequency of external kinematic disturbances changed. Two approaches to the correction of the field optimality criteria were considered: equalization of the vibration amplitudes of the coordinates of a technical object and the selection of an energy operator.Discussion and Conclusion. The development of the applied theory of optimal vibration fields involved, firstly, the correlation of the energy operator and the operator of the requirements for the shape of the vibration field in the theory of abstract splines. The second pair of comparable elements was the criterion of optimality of the vibration field and a system of requirements for the characteristics of the field at control points. The structural theory of optimal vibration fields improved in this way will find application in various industries. Accurate calculations in the formation, assessment, and correction of the states of systems under vibration loading are required in the tasks of increasing the durability of structures, improving measurements in complex vibratory systems, and developing new technologies and materials.

Theory of Nonlinear Diffusion with a Physical Gapped Mode.

In a system with one conserved charge the charge diffusion is modified by nonlinear self-interactions within an effective field theory (EFT) of diffusive fluctuations. We include the slowest ultraviolet (UV) mode, constructing a UV-regulated EFT. The relaxation time of this UV mode is protected from renormalization, as supported by experimental data in a bad metal system. Furthermore, the retarded density-density Green's function acquires four branch points, eventually increasing the range of applicability. We discuss the fate of long time tails as well as implications for the quark gluon plasma.

Non-Abelian currents bootstrap

We initiate the study of correlation functions of non-Abelian spin-1 conserved current in three-dimensional conformal field theories using numerical conformal bootstrap. We discuss the general framework and apply it to the particular cases of SU(N) and O(N) global symmetry. In both cases, we obtain general bounds on operator dimensions. In the large-N limit our bounds show features in correspondence of the expected position of fermionic QED3 in three dimensions, as well as other interesting theories. By imposing gaps inspired by the spectrum of QED3 at large-N, we manage to restrict the plane of certain operator dimensions to a small island, where QED3 must live.

Magnetic behaviour of a mixed-spin ising model on a two-dimensional square-octagon lattice in a dynamic magnetic field

The magnetic behaviours of a two-dimensional square-octagon lattice with mixed spin 5/2 and spin 1 magnetic atoms are investigated in a dynamic magnetic field using effective field theory with correlations. We studied the effects of exchange coupling, anisotropy, oscillating magnetic fields, and temperature on the dynamic magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the square-octagon lattice. The dynamic magnetisation, order parameters, susceptibility, internal energy, and phase diagram of the system were obtained. These results significantly contribute to our understanding of the dynamic magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials. The ability to manipulate and control magnetic behaviour in two dimensions holds promise for the creation of more efficient and versatile devices.

A decomposition theorem for 0-cycles and applications to class field theory

We describe the abelian {e}tale fundamental group with modulus in terms of 0-cycles on a class of smooth quasi-projective varieties over finite fields which may not admit smooth compactifications. Using a limit process, this yields a cycle-theoretic analogue of the $K$-theoretic reciprocity theorem of Kato-Saito for such varieties. The proof is based on a decomposition theorem for the cohomological Chow group of 0-cycles on the double of a quasi-projective $R_1$-scheme over a field along a closed subscheme in terms of the Chow groups with and without modulus of the scheme. This also extends the decomposition theorem of Binda-Krishna to smooth schemes over imperfect fields.

Investigating the new perspectives of Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon equation arising in quantum field theory

The main purpose of the paper is obtaining the analytical results for beta fractional Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon equation which is used to resolve complex problems in fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, plasma physics, quantum field theory, crystal dislocations, and nonlinear optics by using auxiliary method. Beta derivative is a useful fractional operator due to satisfying basic properties of integer order derivative and also, allows us using chain rule and wave transform to turn nonlinear fractional partial differential equations into integer order ordinary differential equations. By the way many analytical methods can be applied to these equations. In order to understand the physical features of the solutions, 3D and 2D graphical illustrations are given. Finally, authors expect that the obtained solutions may give a deep insight for the explanation of physical phenomena in the fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, plasma physics, quantum field theory, crystal dislocations, and nonlinear optics.

What Is the "Hydrogen Bond"? A QFT-QED Perspective.

In this paper we would like to highlight the problems of conceiving the "Hydrogen Bond" (HB) as a real short-range, directional, electrostatic, attractive interaction and to reframe its nature through the non-approximated view of condensed matter offered by a Quantum Electro-Dynamic (QED) perspective. We focus our attention on water, as the paramount case to show the effectiveness of this 40-year-old theoretical background, which represents water as a two-fluid system (where one of the two phases is coherent). The HB turns out to be the result of the electromagnetic field gradient in the coherent phase of water, whose vacuum level is lower than in the non-coherent (gas-like) fraction. In this way, the HB can be properly considered, i.e., no longer as a "dipolar force" between molecules, but as the phenomenological effect of their collective thermodynamic tendency to occupy a lower ground state, compatible with temperature and pressure. This perspective allows to explain many "anomalous" behaviours of water and to understand why the calculated energy associated with the HB should change when considering two molecules (water-dimer), or the liquid state, or the different types of ice. The appearance of a condensed, liquid, phase at room temperature is indeed the consequence of the boson condensation as described in the context of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). For a more realistic and authentic description of water, condensed matter and living systems, the transition from a still semi-classical Quantum Mechanical (QM) view in the first quantization to a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) view embedded in the second quantization is advocated.

Engineering Spin State in Spinel Co3O4 nanosheets by V‐Doping for Bidirectional Catalysis of Polysulfides in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

AbstractThe slow bidirectional conversion and fast shuttling of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) remain the main obstacles that inhibit the practical application of lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs). Here, by engineering the in‐spin state of spinel oxides, V doping‐induced hexagonal nanosheets (V‐Co3O4 NS) with intermediate spin state (IS, t2g5 eg1) can form stable bond order toward LiS* based on the ligand field theory and molecular orbital theory, thus effectively accelerating the sulfur conversion kinetics. Owing to these merits, the V‐Co3O4 NS modified separator base battery achieves a high areal capacity of 15.37 mAh cm−2 with sulfur loading of 15.4 mg cm−2, and it displays a low‐capacity attenuation of 0.015% each cycle at 3.0 C for 1900 cycles.

Moment-independent sensitivity analysis of a fold mechanism based on an active learning kriging method

The present article shows the reliability and sensitivity of a missile folding rudder calculated by MSC.ADAMS and MATLAB. For folding rudder, mass of the counterweight, maximum of the motive force, preloading force, and stiffness coefficients of the spring 1 and spring 2 are considered when calculating the reliability. Two methods, active learning kriging (ALK) and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), are introduced to calculate the reliability. The results obtained by ALK and MCS are compared to ensure the accuracy of the reliability. Three failure modes are considered respectively in reliability calculation, including the unfolding time exceeding the specified value, the max load of the lock structure 1 or lock structure 2 exceeding the specified value. Moment-independent sensitivity index is introduced to assess the importance rank of each factor. Both cases with and without gap are discussed to explore the influence of gaps between sleeve and shaft. Comparison of two cases show that gaps could reduce reliability of the folding rudder. The influence of gaps cannot be neglected during the reliability calculated, especially for mechanism with several motion joints like the rudder folding. The works aim to provide valuable guidance for design and optimization of unfolding rudder. In addition, it is a beneficial trial for introducing reliability theory in weapon equipment field.

Narrowband red luminescence of tetrahedral-site Fe3+ In Ca8Mg(SiO4)4Cl2

We have measured the excitation and emission spectra, and lifetime for Fe3+ in the Ca8Mg(SiO4)4Cl2 compound. The spectroscopic data of the ferric ion (Fe3+) is interpreted within the framework of the Tanabe-Sugano crystal field theory for ions with the d5 electronic configuration. Quantitative evaluation of the Racah parameters B and C and the crystal field parameter (10 Dq) is provided. The emission and excitation data are consistent for Fe3+ in a tetrahedral-site occupancy. The red emission is assigned to the 4T1 (4G)→6A1 (6S) crystal field transition. The remarkable feature of the luminescence is the positioning of the emission band; it is centered at 623 nm with a Full Width at Half Maximum of 51 nm. To the best of our knowledge this is one of the highest energy emission for the tetrahedral-site Fe3+ ion. The practical implication of this spectral power distribution is discussed. The temperature dependency of the luminescence lifetime and emission intensity are reported.

Gravitational Raman Scattering in Effective Field Theory: A Scalar Tidal Matching at O(G^{3}).

We present a framework to compute amplitudes for the gravitational analog of the Raman process, a quasielastic scattering of waves off compact objects, in worldline effective field theory. As an example, we calculate third post-Minkowskian order [O(G^{3})], or two-loop, phase shifts for the scattering of a massless scalar field including all tidal effects and dissipation. Our calculation unveils two sources of the classical renormalization-group flow of dynamical Love numbers: a universal running independent of the nature of the compact object, and a running self-induced by tides. Restricting to the black hole case, we find that our effective field theory phase shifts agree exactly with those from general relativity, provided that the relevant static Love numbers are set to zero. In addition, we carry out a complete matching of the leading scalar dynamical Love number required to renormalize a universal short scale divergence in the S wave. Our results pave the way for systematic calculations of gravitational Raman scattering at higher post-Minkowskian orders.

Enriched string-net models and their excitations

Boundaries of Walker-Wang models have been used to construct commuting projector models which realize chiral unitary modular tensor categories (UMTCs) as boundary excitations. Given a UMTC A representing the Witt class of an anomaly, the article \cite{MR4640433} gave a commuting projector model associated to an A-enriched unitary fusion category X on a 2D boundary of the 3D Walker-Wang model associated to A. That article claimed that the boundary excitations were given by the enriched center/Müger centralizer ZA(X) of A in Z(X).In this article, we give a rigorous treatment of this 2D boundary model, and we verify this assertion using topological quantum field theory (TQFT) techniques, including skein modules and a certain semisimple algebra whose representation category describes boundary excitations. We also use TQFT techniques to show the 3D bulk point excitations of the Walker-Wang bulk are given by the Müger center Z2(A), and we construct bulk-to-boundary hopping operators Z2(A)→ZA(X) reflecting how the UMTC of boundary excitations ZA(X) is symmetric-braided enriched in Z2(A).This article also includes a self-contained comprehensive review of the Levin-Wen string net model from a unitary tensor category viewpoint, as opposed to the skeletal 6j symbol viewpoint.

Three-Dimensional Topological Field Theories and Nonunitary Minimal Models.

We find an intriguing relation between a class of three-dimensional nonunitary topological field theories (TFTs) and Virasoro minimal models M(2,2r+3) with r≥1. The TFTs are constructed by topologically twisting 3D N=4 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) of rank-0, i.e., having zero-dimensional Coulomb and Higgs branches. We present ultraviolet (UV) field theory descriptions of the SCFTs with manifest N=2 supersymmetry, which we argue is enhanced to N=4 in the infrared. From the UV description, we compute various partition functions of the TFTs and reproduce some basic properties of the minimal models, such as their characters and modular matrices. We expect more general correspondence between topologically twisted 3d N=4 rank-0 SCFTs and 2D nonunitary rational conformal field theories.
