Overlapping Unit Cells in 3d Quasicrystal Structure

A 3-dimensional quasiperiodic lattice, with overlapping unit cells and periodic in one direction, is constructed using grid and projection methods pioneered by de Bruijn. Each unit cell consists of 26 points, of which 22 are the vertices of a convex polytope P, and 4 are interior points also shared with other neighboring unit cells. Using Kronecker's theorem the frequencies of all possible types of overlapping are found.Comment: LaTeX2e, 11 pages, 5 figures (8 eps files), uses iopart.class. Final versio

Understanding teaching assistant self-efficacy in role and in training: its susceptibility to influence

There has been a noted growth in the number of teaching assistants (TAs) in mainstream schools (DfE, 2013a). Research is inconclusive about their efficacy at changing outcomes for children (Alborz et al 2009; Blatchford et al, 2009) and has proposed more training for TAs (Russell et al, 2005). Generic training models have suggested that enhancing self-efficacy in turn improves performance. This exploratory study investigated factors that may influence TAs’ sense of self-efficacy and its susceptibility to influence in training. Following two modes of mode of school-based training by Educational Psychologists (EPs) data were collected from 14 mainstream secondary school TAs using focus groups. A thematic analysis noted themes regarding self-efficacy, aligned with Bandura’s (1977) sources of information, outcome expectations and whole school support and norms. Review of the data is likely to be able to guide potential trainers to coach consult strategies which are self-efficacy supportive and which address contextual factors including the perceived status of TAs in schools

Q-Dependent Susceptibility in Z-Invariant Pentagrid Ising Model

We study the q-dependent susceptibility chi(q) of a Z-invariant ferromagnetic Ising model on a Penrose tiling, as first introduced by Korepin using de Bruijn's pentagrid for the rapidity lines. The pair-correlation function for this model can be calculated exactly using the quadratic difference equations from our previous papers. Its Fourier transform chi(q) is studied using a novel way to calculate the joint probability for the pentagrid neighborhoods of the two spins, reducing this calculation to linear programming. Since the lattice is quasiperiodic, we find that chi(q) is aperiodic and has everywhere dense peaks, which are not all visible at very low or high temperatures. More and more peaks become visible as the correlation length increases--that is, as the temperature approaches the critical temperature.Comment: LaTeX2e, 52 pages, 12 figures (45 eps files), uses rotating.sty (choose right rotdriver). v2: Quality of figures has been much enhanced. v3: Misprints correcte

A Housewife's Pride-Her Linen

Where is the housewife who is not proud of her linen supply, be it large or small, old or new? It is hard to draw up a complete list of linen for the well-fun home since the size of the family, its scale of living, the amount of entertaining done, laundry conveniences and personal preference influence set rules too much. It is important, then, to place the emphasis upon the choosing of our linen that we may have well equipped and charmingly appointed tables with the least trouble and the least expense no matter what the size of our linen closet be.</p
