Matching the BPS Spectra of Heterotic - Type I - Type I' Strings
We give a detailed discussion of the matching of the BPS states of heterotic,
type I and type I' theories in d=9 for general backgrounds. This allows us to
explicitly identify these (composite) brane states in the type I' theory that
lead to gauge symmetry enhancement at critical points in moduli space. An
example is the enhancement of to .Comment: 11 pages; minor typos in eq. (3), (4) and on page 9 have been

Numerical determination of entanglement entropy for a sphere
We apply Srednicki's regularization to extract the logarithmic term in the
entanglement entropy produced by tracing out a real, massless, scalar field
inside a three dimensional sphere in 3+1 flat spacetime. We find numerically
that the coefficient of the logarithm is -1/90 to 0.2 percent accuracy, in
agreement with an existing analytical result
Fostering Reflective Teaching: Using the Student Participation Observation Tool (SPOT) to Promote Active Instructional Approaches in STEM
The Student Participation Observation Tool (SPOT) is a web-based classroom observation protocol developed for higher education STEM courses and based on research on evidence-based practices. The low-inference and objective nature of the SPOT and visual outputs make it an optimal tool for teaching professional development. The SPOT allows novice users to use data from their own classes to reflect on, and make data-driven changes to, their teaching practices. In particular, the SPOT was designed to present faculty with objective data related to their use of active instructional approaches, be easy for practitioners to use, and provide data outputs that are illustrative and non-evaluative. Use of the SPOT in a workshop series revealed that these design features allow faculty to collect reliable observation data with minimal training. Furthermore, SPOT data promoted faculty reflection on teaching practice and motivated faculty to make changes to their teaching that aligned with more learner-centered practices. Beyond teaching professional development, we suggest how the SPOT may be used to increase the usefulness of peer observation for teaching evaluation

Characterization of the TruSense S310 Laser Range System for Contact-less Measurement of Liquid Levels in Large-Volume Neutrino Detectors
Neutrino experiments often use large volumes of water, organic scintillators
or noble liquids as active detection material. Due to the large hydrostatic and
buoyancy forces involved, precise knowledge of the liquid levels inside the
detector tank are mandatory. Here we present the main characteristics of the
TruSense S310 Laser Range System. Level measurements can be performed without
direct contact to the liquid and through a gas-proof acrylic window, thus
preserving the strict radiopurity and chemical requirements of the target
liquid. We report the results of a suit of laboratory experiments for
short-term precision tests (5\,mm) and long-term stability studies.
Moreover, we demonstrate that the infrared laser can be used while standard
bi-alkali PMTs are operational. We discuss the mechanical layout and
integration of the system in the OSIRIS pre-detector that will monitor the
radiopurity of the liquid scintillator for the large-volume neutrino experiment
