Magnetic field structure of the extended 3C 380 jet

An earlier study of the complex jet of 3C 380 by Papageorgiou et al. revealed total intensity and polarization structure associated with a bright knot K1 about 0.7 arcsec from the core that was reminiscent of that expected for a conical shock wave. In this new study, 1.42, 1.66 and 4.99 GHz total intensity, polarization and Faraday rotation images are presented and analysed. These images were derived from observations with the Very Long Baseline Array plus one antenna of the Very Large Array, obtained in 2006 March. These new images confirm the overall magnetic field structure of the knot K1 indicated in the earlier observations. In addition, a clear Faraday rotation gradient has been detected across the jet, extending roughly from 10 to 30 mas (70–200 pc) along the jet from the core (a radial distance of approximately two beamwidths). The gradient spans roughly 3.5 beamwidths in the transverse direction, and the difference in the rotation measures on either side of the jet is 4–5σ, demonstrating that the detection of the gradient is firm. We interpret this transverse Faraday rotation gradient as reflecting systematic variation of the line-of-sight component of a helical or toroidal magnetic field (B) associated with the jet of 3C 380. These results provide evidence that the helical field arising due to the joint action of the rotation of the central black hole and its accretion disc and the jet outflow can survive to distances of hundreds of parsecs from the central engine.
Transport mechanisms for synoptic, seasonal and interannual SF 6 variations and "age" of air in troposphere

Abstract. We use an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) driven chemistry-transport model (ACTM) to simulate the evolution of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in the troposphere. The model results are compared with continuous measurements at 6 sites over 71° N–90° S. These comparisons demonstrate that the ACTM simulations lie within the measurement uncertainty over the analysis period (1999–2006) and capture salient features of synoptic, seasonal and interannual SF6 variability. To understand transport timescales of SF6 within the troposphere, transport times of air parcels from the surface to different regions of the troposphere ("age") are estimated from a simulation of an idealized tracer. The age estimation error and its sensitivity to the selection of reanalysis meteorology for ACTM nudging or the tracer transport by deep cumulus convection as represented in the model are discussed. Monthly-mean, 2-box model exchange times (τex) are calculated from both the observed and simulated SF6 time series at the 6 observing sites and show favorable agreement, suggesting that the ACTM adequately represents large-scale interhemispheric transport. The simulated SF6 variability is further investigated through decomposition of the mixing ratio time-tendency into advective, convective, and vertical diffusive components. The transport component analysis illustrates the role of each process in SF6 synoptic variability at the site level and provides insight into the seasonality of τex.
Conflicting personal goals: a risk to occupational well-being?

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the moderating role of goal conflict in the relationship between the contents of managers’ personal work goals and occupational well-being (burnout and work engagement). Eight goal categories (organization, competence, well-being, career-ending, progression, prestige, job change, and employment contract) described the contents of goals. Goal conflict reflected the degree to which a personal work goal was perceived to interfere with other life domains. Design/methodology/approach – The data were drawn from a study directed to Finnish managers in 2009 (n=806). General linear models were conducted to investigate the associations between goal content categories and occupational well-being and to test whether goal conflict moderates the relationship between goal content categories and occupational well-being. Findings – Career-ending goals related to significantly higher burnout than progression goals. Participants with organization, competence, or progress.
Remarks on the position, the delimitation and the subdivision of the Rubiaceae

It is often assumed that the delimitation and the subdivision of the various families which have been distinguished in the Angiosperms, do no longer offer serious difficulties. They would belong to those objects of study for which already long ago a fairly satisfactory solution was found. If we wish to be acquainted with this solution, the only thing we would have to do, would be to look up such works as Bentham and Hooker’s “Genera Plantarum” and Engler and Prantl’s “Naturliche Pflanzenfamilien”. Some improvements might still be desirable, but these would be of minor importance only. These assumptions, however, are to be regarded as dangerous illusions. That the very serious nature of the shortcomings found in the delimitation and subdivision of these families, especially of the larger ones, is so often overlooked, is apparently due to an attitude of mind which is observed in a comparatively large part of the taxonomists, viz. a lack of interest in the development of a truly natural classification. This is not incomprehensible. Most of them spend the major part of their time in the elaboration of floras covering areas of more or less limited extent, and they are but rarely aware of the fact that the knowledge of the families which is obtained in this way, remains necessarily incomplete. Moreover, in the elaboration of a flora the most essential point is the construction of serviceable keys to the species as well as to the groups of higher rank, not the exact delimitation of these groups: to the latter end usually more material is required than the compiler of a flora has at his disposition. However, we must not overlook the fact that a key, in order to be serviceable, need not reflect the degree of affinity between the units with which it is dealing; in reality, such keys are often entirely or almost entirely artificial, and this applies therefore also to classifications which are based on such keys. To illustrate this, I will discuss here some of the characters by the aid of which in the Rubiaceae very suitable keys to the genera have been constructed, but which when they subsequently were used for the elaboration of a classification, led to entirely unsatisfactory results.
Public or Private Pensions? Pensions and Pension Politics in the Nordic Countries

The pension structures of the Nordic countries are often described as statist structures. Generous public pensions are supposedly crowding out private pension alternatives (including occupational pensions). It is argued that these systems unite the pension-political interests of workers and marginal groups resulting in stable "pension regimes". This paper questions these statements. It argues that old political tensions are "built into" the institutional designs of the Nordic pension systems. There is a general tendency away from flat-rate "universal" pension arrangements toward dual systems in which the working population receives earnings-related pensions and the non-working (marginal groups) receive means-tested benefits. This development fits in with Gordons (1988) hypothesis that a convergence process is taking place in industrialized countries toward "two-tier" systems. High tax levels, gloomy demographic forecasts and increased competition at the world market have led the Nordic countries to consider cutbacks in their public pension systems. Tax subsidies to occupational and individual pension plans have also been cut back, partly to increase government revenue and partly to create increased competition in the markets for different types of financial assets. Recent changes in regulation policies also aims at creating increased competition in the private pension sector. If this trend prevails, a larger and more diversified private pension sector is likely to emerge in the Nordic countries in the future.
Study on breast-feeding practices among urban and rural women in Kakinada

The importance of breastfeeding in infant nutrition, health and survival has long been recognized. It is now well Established that over millennia, breast feeding has been major determinant of infant growth, health and survival, and the contraceptive effect of lactation has been the principal regulator of human fertility. Objective: To study the breast-feeding practices among urban and rural women in and around Kakinada. The present study was done in pediatric outpatient department on the mothers with children of < 1-year age, The subjects were randomly selected who are attending the pediatrics outpatient department. The study was carried over a period of one year, (i.e., November 2004 to October 2005). The number of mothers interviewed was 440 (n=440).
UK resilience programme evaluation: final report

The UK Resilience Programme (UKRP) aims to improve children’s psychological well-being by building resilience and promoting accurate thinking. Three local authorities launched it in the 2007 to 2008 academic year with workshops delivered to year 7 pupils in secondary schools. This report presents findings from the UKRP evaluation, commissioned by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (now the Department for Education). The evaluation aims to investigate whether the programme (previously trialled in small samples) can be delivered at scale and whether it has an impact on children’s well-being, behaviour, attendance and academic attainment. Information on pupils’ well-being was collected through questionnaires administered to pupils who had participated in the first year of UKRP workshops and to a control group. Pupils were surveyed before and after the programme. The quantitative work examines the impact on the original cohort of pupils (those in workshops in 2007-08) over a three year period. In addition, interviews with pupils, facilitators (workshop leaders) and school managers were carried out in 10 of the 22 secondary schools involved in the programme at the end of the 2007-08 academic year, and follow-up interviews were carried out in 9 of these 10 schools in the autumn term of 2009-10.
THE KINEMATICS OF THE LOCAL GROUP IN A COSMOLOGICAL CONTEXT

Recent observations constrained the tangential velocity of M31 with respect to the Milky Way to be vM31, tan < 34.4 km s−1and the radial velocity to be in the range vM31, rad = −109 ± 4.4 km s−1. In this study we use a large volume high-resolution N-body cosmological simulation (Bolshoi) together with three constrained simulations to statistically study this kinematics in the context of the Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM). The comparison of the ensembles of simulated pairs with the observed Local Group (LG) at the 1σ level in the uncertainties has been done with respect to the radial and tangential velocities, the reduced orbital energy (etot), angular momentum (lorb), and the dimensionless spin parameter, λ. Our main results are (1) the preferred radial and tangential velocities for pairs in ΛCDM are vr = −80 ± 20 km s−1 and vt = 50 ± 10 km s−1, (2) pairs around that region are 3–13 times more common than pairs within the observational values, (3) 15%–24% of LG-like pairs in ΛCDM have energy and angular momentum consistent with observations, while (4) 9%–13% of pairs in the same sample show similar values in the inferred dimensionless spin parameter. It follows that within current observational uncertainties the quasi-conserved quantities that characterize the orbit of the LG, i.e., etot, lorb, and λ, do not challenge the standard ΛCDM model, but the model is in tension with regard to the actual values of the radial and tangential velocities. This might hint to a problem of the ΛCDM model to reproduce the observed LG.
Career Decision Making, Stability, and Actualization of Career Intentions

Career counselors are often concerned with stability and likelihood of implementation of clients’ career intentions. It is often assumed that the status in career decision making (CDM) is one likely indicator; yet, empirical support for this assumption is sparse. The present study focused on entrepreneurial career intentions (EI) and showed that German university students (N = 1,221), with high EI can be found in very different empirically derived CDM statuses that range from preconcern to mature decidedness. Longitudinal analyses (n = 561) showed that career choice foreclosure (high decidedness/low exploration) related to more EI stability and that mature decidedness (high decidedness/high exploration) amplified effects of EI on opportunity identification, a form of EI actualization. The results imply that CDM statuses are useful to estimate stability and actualization of career intentions.
MOIRCS DEEP SURVEY. VI. NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY OF K-SELECTED STAR-FORMING GALAXIES AT z ∼ 2

We present the results of near-infrared multi-object spectroscopic observations for 37 BzK-color-selected star-forming galaxies conducted with MOIRCS on the Subaru Telescope. The sample is drawn from the Ks-band-selected catalog of the MOIRCS Deep Survey in the GOODS-N region. About half of our samples are selected from the publicly available 24 μm-source catalog of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. Hα emission lines are detected from 23 galaxies, of which the median redshift is 2.12. We derived the star formation rates (SFRs) from extinction-corrected Hα luminosities. The extinction correction is estimated from the spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting of multiband photometric data covering UV to near-infrared wavelengths. The Balmer decrement of the stacked emission lines shows that the amount of extinction for the ionized gas is larger than that for the stellar continuum. From a comparison of the extinction-corrected Hα luminosity and other SFR indicators, we found that the relation between the dust properties of stellar continuum and ionized gas is different depending on the intrinsic SFR (differential extinction). We compared SFRs estimated from extinction-corrected Hα luminosities with stellar masses estimated from SED fitting. The comparison shows no correlation between SFR and stellar mass. Some galaxies with stellar mass smaller than ∼1010 M☉ show SFRs higher than ∼100 M☉ yr−1. The specific SFRs (SSFRs) of these galaxies are remarkably high; galaxies which have SSFR higher than ∼10−8 yr−1 are found in eight of the present sample. From the best-fit parameters of SED fitting for these high-SSFR galaxies, we find that the average age of the stellar population is younger than 100 Myr, which is consistent with the implied high SSFR. The large SFR implies the possibility that the high-SSFR galaxies significantly contribute to the cosmic SFR density of the universe at z ∼ 2. When we apply the larger extinction correction for the ionized gas or the differential extinction correction, the total SFR density estimated from the Hα-emission-line galaxies is 0.089–0.136 M☉ yr−1 Mpc−3, which is consistent with the total SFR densities in the literature. The metallicity of the high-SSFR galaxies, which is estimated from the N2 index, is larger than that expected from the mass–metallicity relation of UV-selected galaxies at z ∼ 2 by Erb et al.
The reproducibility and clinical relevance of near-infrared spectroscopy parameters in moderately impaired chronic heart failure patients

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the condition in which the heart is unable to maintain sufficient cardiac output (the amount of blood that the heart pumps) for adequate tissue oxygenation. In order to find the right treatment for CHF patients, it is crucial to find out whether these patients are primarily limited by oxygen delivery or by oxygen utilization. Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) has the ability to monitor changes in muscle oxygenation during exercise. This technique has the potential to disclose the nature of the limitation in a totally non-invasive setup. Before introducing NIRS as a routine measurement in a clinical setting it is crucial to investigate the applicability and reproducibility of various NIRS parameters, especially in moderately impaired CHF patients. To reach that goal we have investigated the kinetics of the local tissue oxygenation (Tissue Saturation Index (TSI)) in a skeletal muscle during onset and recovery of submaximal exercise. The associated parameters represent a ratio between oxygen delivery and utilization and were found with an acceptable reproducibility. In comparison with healthy control subjects on average both onset and recovery appeared to be delayed in CHF patients. It is suggested that a delayed TSI onset indicates a CHF patient with a more pronounced limitation in oxygen utilization and a delayed TSI recovery a CHF patient with a limitation in oxygen delivery. The nature of the slowing of the pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics during onset and recovery of exercise contributes to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of heart failure in an individual patient. The correlation between the TSI recovery kinetics and the oxygen recovery kinetics measured in lung function tests suggests that the slowing of the oxygen recovery kinetics in CHF patients is more governed by processes which regulate the oxygen delivery. From these results it can be concluded that treatments that improve the skeletal muscle oxygen delivery or the skeletal muscle oxygen utilization can both be necessary to ameliorate exercise intolerance in moderately impaired CHF patients. In practice this means that some patients are in need of an improved cardiac output for instance with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), while others are better helped with physical exercise.
Using Chemistry Teaching Aids Based Local Wisdom as an Alternative Media for Chemistry Teaching and Learning

Students have difficulties in relating the chemistry phenomena they learned and the life around them. It is necessary to have teaching aids which can help them to relate between chemistry with the phenomena occurred in everyday life, which is chemistry’s teaching aids based on local wisdom. There are 3 teaching aids which used in chemistry teaching and learning, i.e. clay molymod, electrolyte tester, electroplating tool. The chemistry teaching aids was reviewed by media experts, material experts, and also reviewers. The reviewers’ assessment showed that all of the teaching aids have a very good quality. Based on the response from Senior High School’ students, they all agree that the teaching learning process using the teaching aids could improve their learning motivations.
Chemical defense of the Caribbean ascidian Didemnum conchyliatum

Field and laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the palatability to predatory fishes of organic extracts of the Caribbean ascidian Didemnum conchyliatum. This tan-colored compound ascidian grows as an epibiont on seagrass blades. A dichloromethane/methanol extract of the ascidian incorporated into carrageenan food strips at the same volumetric concentrat~on as the extract occurred in the ascidian tissues deterred feeding of a natural assemblage of consumers in the same seagrass beds from which the ascidians were collected. Bioassay-directed fractionation of this extract revealed that the deterrent property was restricted to fractions containing novel indolemaleimide-imidazole alkaloids, didemnimides A to D. Laboratory assays of purified metabolites revealed that didemnimides C and D deterred feeding by a generalist predatory reef fish, but that didemnimides A and B were not deterrent. Only didemnimide D deterred feeding in the field; neither didemnimide C nor the fraction contalning didemnimides A and B were deterrent when assayed in the natural environment of the ascidian. Antipredatory activity of the didemnimides was highly dependent on compound structure: only didemnimide D, which bears both a bromine on the indole ring and a methyl group on the imidazole ring, inhibited feeding in both laboratory and field assays. Didemnimide D deterred feeding at approximately 0.035 mg ml-l, and is among the most potent antipredatory chemical defenses described from tunicates to date.
Nucleation of mesospheric cloud particles: Sensitivities and limits

Nucleation of mesospheric ice particles is thought to occur via heterogeneous nucleation on meteor smoke particles. However, several factors determining the nucleation rate are poorly known. To study the effect of uncertainties in the nucleation rate on cloud properties, we use the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres and systematically vary the nucleation rate over ±10 orders of magnitude. In one set of simulations, the background state of the atmosphere is described by climatological conditions. In a second set, gravity wave‐perturbed profiles from the Kühlungsborn Mechanistic general Circulation Model (KMCM) are used with typical temperature (vertical wind) perturbations at the mesopause on the order of 9 K (0.45 m/s). The resulting noctilucent cloud (NLC) characteristics are compared to lidar and satellite measurements. Realistic NLCs compared to the lidar measurements can only be modeled if the nucleation rate is reduced by up to 3 orders of magnitude compared to standard assumptions. For the same cases, the simulated NLCs compare best to the satellite measurements if the nucleation rate is reduced by 2 orders of magnitude or more. Dynamical processes at the mesopause strongly influence the NLC development. In a gravity wave‐perturbed atmosphere, the ice particles have only limited time for nucleation and growth. The growth time is limited by the vertical wind, because the vertical wind determines the residence time of the ice particles in the supersaturated region. Since the vertical wind amplitudes reach 1.5 m/s in KMCM (compared to a mean upwelling of ∼4 cm/s in the climatology), the ice particles remain significantly smaller in a gravity wave‐perturbed atmosphere than in climatological background conditions.
