On the universality of I-Love-Q relations in magnetized neutron stars

Recently, general relations among the quadrupole moment (Q), the moment of inertia (I) and the tidal deformability (Love number) of a neutron star were shown to exist. They are nearly independent of the nuclear matter equation of state and would be of great aid in extracting parameters from observed gravitational waves and in testing general relativity. These relations, however, do not account for strong magnetic fields. We consider this problem by studying the effect of a strong magnetic field on slowly rotating relativistic neutron stars and show that, for simple magnetic field configurations that are purely poloidal or purely toroidal, the relation between Q and I is again nearly universal. However, different magnetic field geometries lead to different I–Q relations, and, in the case of a more realistic twisted-torus magnetic field configuration, the relation depends significantly on the equation of state, losing its universality. I–Love–Q relations must thus be used with very great care, since universality is lost for stars with long spin periods, i.e. P ≳ 10 s, and strong magnetic fields, i.e. B ≳ 1012 G.
Spectral Analysis of a Core from the Sebkha of Sidi Mansour, Southern Tunisia: The Holocene Cyclostratigraphy

The Milancovitch Theory explaining the ancient cyclostratigraphy does not file a case for the Holocene cyclostratigraphy. Instead, other astronomical and oceanographic mechanisms control the cyclicity within Holocene sediment. This work aimed to find out the climatic cyclicity along a core from the sebkha of Sidi Mansour located along the Mediterranean coast in Tunisia, through using different proxies: the magnetic susceptibility, carbonate percentages and chemical elements (Ca, Na, and K). Based on previous radiocarbon and tephrochrnological dating in the study area, the core was estimated to cover the two last millennia with a sedimentation rate of 0.35 mm/yr. This rate allows the elaboration of a depth-age model to carry the spectral analysis. Not all the proxies visualize the same climatic cycles. For instance, the spectral analysis of the magnetic susceptibility and Sodium data visualized a 1000 yr cycle. The spectral analysis of Potassium data did not visualize significant cycles. The spectral analysis of the carbonate percentages and calcium data visualized dual cycles of 1700-700 yr and 493-329 yr respectively. The about 500 yr and 1000 yr cycles are related to Sun activity. Other oceanographic and atmospheric factors could generate other cycles of 1700 yr, 700 yr, 493 yr, and 329 yr. The majority of these cycles were worldwide recorded as interplay between the oceanography and the solar forcing. Contrary to the earth-driven cyclostratigraphy related to orbital parameters and geographical positions, the Holocene cyclostratigraphy is sun-driven.
Gender Gaps in Social Capital: a theoretical interpretation of the Italian evidence

In this paper, we show that social capital accumulation along the life cycle is different for men and women. We discuss the concept of social capital and some problems connected to its definition and measurement. We survey the literature on gender and social capital and use the Italian data of the “Multiscopo” Survey to assess differences in life cycle accumulation of social capital by sex and age. The lifecycle profile of social capital accumulation is gendered, with men accumulating more social capital at all ages, with a different peak and overall profile. We also show that, over 15 years, the gap in social capital by sex narrowed. Finally, we introduce a model of social capital structure compatible with the empirical evidence and with notions of gender as defined in feminist literature.

Human Values as Predictors of Motivational Beliefs in High School Students

Abstract Human values play a significant role in the personality development of adolescents. Values include the standards that embrace the social changes influencing the whole society and are effective in the construction of desired behaviours. Motivational beliefs are effective component in the learning goals of adolescents. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the predictive powers of human values on motivational beliefs. The participants are 462 high school students. “Human Values Scale” was used to determine the human values of the students in the study. “Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire” was also used to measure the motivational strategies of students. Results indicate that human values are significant predictor of motivational strategies. While being pacifist itself explains 10.4 % of the variance related to intrinsic goal orientation, it explains 11.7 % of motivational beliefs it together with respect scale. While tolerance explains 2.9 % of the variance related to external goal orientation itself, it explains 3.7 % of the variance related to external goal orientation together with respect. Whereas being pacifist explains 8.9 % of the variance related to the perception of self-efficacy itself, together with respect, they explain 9.9 % of the variance related to perception of self-efficacy.
Dust impact on the West African heat low in summertime

The impact of dust on a six‐day pulsation of the West African heat low (WAHL) in summertime (14–20 July 2006) is investigated, with convective rainfall and dust bursts being observed over the Sahel at the beginning and end of the episode. Three Meso‐NH simulations were designed which differed in their dust representation. All the simulations capture the variation in the WAHL intensity well, including the simulation without any dust effects. This shows the primary role of large‐scale forcing on the WAHL pulsation. In spite of additional daytime heating and night‐time cooling effects over the Sahara, the simulation with dust climatology resembles the simulation without any dust effects. In contrast, the simulation using a prognostic dust scheme enhances alternating northward advection of warm and dry air and southward advection of cold and wet air associated with the propagation of an African easterly wave, leading to a strengthening of the WAHL variabilities. This study highlights two effects of dust on the WAHL over the Sahara: a so‐called direct effect associated with dust radiative heating, which increases the WAHL thickness, and a so‐called indirect effect that intensifies both the African easterly jet and a related African easterly wave.

A THRESHOLDED LANDWEBER ITERATION BASED ON SENSING DICTIONARY

Thresholded Landweber Iteration (TLI) is an attractive algorithm since it has the advantage of simplicity for the problem of sparse reconstruction. However, this algorithm depends heavily on the coherence property of the redundant dictionary, and its convergence rate is slow. In this paper, we develop a modified version of TLI by using a sensing dictionary. The proposed algorithm significantly improves the reconstruction performance and the convergence properties when compared to the classical TLI. We provide a sufficient condition for which the modified TLI algorithm can be guaranteed to exactly identify the correct atoms and also discuss the convergence properties for this algorithm. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm.
Navigational web atmospherics Explaining the influence of restrictive navigation cues

Building on the recent work in web atmospherics, the theoretical notions of psychological reactance and the flow experience, propositions and a model are developed, which provide a framework in which the navigational atmosphere of a web site can be examined. This paper specifically examines how and why consumers are influenced by restrictive navigation cues on the web. Essentially, the present author proposes that restrictive navigational cues act as barriers that threaten consumers’ control over web navigation, which, in turn, arouses psychological reactance and leads to negative consequences for the web marketer. These negative consequences include increased levels of negative emotions, negative attitudes toward the web site and increased site avoidance behavior. The magnitude of the threat to control, consumers’ expectation of control and the importance of web navigation are proposed to moderate this relationship. The reduction in navigational control associated with restrictive navigation cues is also posited to reduce the likelihood of the consumer flow experience, which, in turn, leads to negative attitudes and site avoidance behavior. Implications for web marketers and avenues for future research are discussed. D 2002 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Accelerating the Adoption of Cloud Technology by SMEs in Nigeria

The contentions for this study were to investigate the reason for the slow adoption of Cloud Computing by SME operators in Nigeria and to develop a suitable information model to guide the would-be users in making an informed decision regarding cloud adoption. A structured interview was conducted with a select number of SME operators and industry associates within the researcher’s domain, and a reasonable number of valid responses were obtained. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was adapted as the research framework to qualitatively examine the conditions that affect the adoption of Cloud computing into microfinance business operations, within which a suitable model for improving the adoption of Cloud computing was recommended. The analysis of the study revealed that SMEs in Nigeria, with particular reference to microfinance subsector in Akwa Ibom State are yet to fully embrace Cloud technology. It was discovered that most of the SMEs studied, has some level of reservation about cloud computing, arising from not having appropriate education and enlightenment about the cloud economic offerings and potentials. From the outcome of the research, the researcher identified that most people’s concerns are as a result of lack of knowledge about cloud computing and so the researcher concluded that appropriate enlightenment by industry stakeholders, cloud service providers, cloud enthusiasts and even the government on the risks and overwhelming economic incentives of cloud computing as well as the provision of a monitored free trial services will encourage the adoption of cloud technology by SMEs.

PREDICTION OF EFFLUENT WATER QUALITY FROM WASTE ROCK PILES IN A CONTINUOUS PERMAFROST REGION

Predicting effluent water quality from mine waste disposal facilities is and important aspect of the design and management of mining operations. Development of water quality predictions required in the early stages of mine planning is challenging because of the lack of detailed information on the rock and its weathering characteristics. These predictions require the selection of rock samples that are lithologically and spatially representative of the rock that will be mined, the implementation of a reproducible characterization protocol and the development of a rigorous approach for scaling from laboratory measurements to the field-scale behaviour. At the Diavik Diamond Mine Inc. operation, open pit mining will lead to the construction of two 200 Mt permanent stockpiles of waste rock. Assessing the long-term environmental implications of storing waste rock in regions with continuous permafrost provides unique opportunities and challenges. The Diavik waste rock research program includes the measurement and comparison of waste rock characteristics across a wide range of scales, varying from samples of less than a kilogram to the construction of three large-scale waste rock piles (15 m in height × 60 m × 50 m) to assess the evolution of the hydrology, geochemistry, temperature, and biogeochemistry of the waste rock piles over time. One test pile contains rock with a sulfide content of 0.05 wt% S and the third pile simulates a cover scenario proposed for closure of the higher sulfide rock piles. Complementary studies involving conventional static and kinetic tests on small test samples have also been initiated.
The Analysis of the Properties of Bus Network Topology in Beijing Basing on Complex Networks

The transport network structure plays a crucial role in transport dynamics. To better understand the property of the bus network in big city and reasonably configure the bus lines and transfers, this paper seeks to take the bus network of Beijing as an example and mainly use space L and space P to analyze the network topology properties. The approach is applied to all the bus lines in Beijing which includes 722 lines and 5421 bus station. In the first phase of the approach, space L is used. The results show that the bus network of Beijing is a scale-free network and the degree of more than 99 percent of nodes is lower than 10. The results also show that the network is an assortative network with 46 communities. In a second phase, space P is used to analyze the property of transfer. The results show that the average transfer time of Beijing bus network which is 1.88 and 99.8 percent of arbitrary two pair nodes is reachable within 4 transfers.
Welfare and Tax Policies in a Neoclassical Growth Model with Non-unitary Discounting

In this paper, we propose a neoclassical growth model with non-unitary discount- ing, where an individual discounts her future utilities from consumption and leisure differently. Because this non-unitary discounting induces the individual's preference reversals, we regard one individual as being composed of different selves. Then we derive the closed-form solution of the recursive competitive equilibrium in which her different selves behave in a time-consistent way in all periods. With regard to welfare analysis, we obtain the following three main results. First, the selves in any period strictly prefer the planning allocation to the laissez-faire allocation if they are given the same value of a state variable in both situations. Second, the selves in the long run can prefer the latter to the former allocation if we focus on the overall equilibrium paths in both situations. Third, a time-consistent tax policy designed by a benevolent government replicates the planning allocation.
A comparison of methods for calculating notch tip strains and stresses under multiaxial loading

Selected methods for calculating notch tip strains and stresses in elastic–plastic isotropic bodies subjected to multiaxial monotonic loading were compared. The methods use sets of equations where hypothetical notch tip elastic strains and stresses obtained from FEM calculations serve as an input. The comparison was performed within two separate groups of methods: the first group consists of the methods intended for cases of multiaxial proportional loading and the second group deals with multiaxial non-proportional loading. Originally, the precision of the methods was validated by comparison with results obtained from elastic–plastic FEM analyses. Since computer performance at the time was lower than nowadays, verification of the proposed methods on FEM models with a finer mesh was needed. Such verification was carried out and is presented in this paper. The effect of various formulations of material stress–strain curve was also evaluated. KEYWORDS.

A model of observations with admixture is considered. The distribution of the primary component of the model is symmetric and unknown, while the distribution of the admixture is known. Adaptive estimators are constructed for the median of the distribution of the primary component. The asymptotic variance of this estimator is close to the minimal asymptotic variance among all estimating equations estimators.
Teaching Speech Acts in EFL Classrooms： An Implicit Pedagogy

Language teaching is a combination of teaching syntax, content of language in use, and the social background of that language. As the study of the act in speech, speech acts naturally exist in social and interpersonal discourses. Thus it is of vital importance to let language learners to acquire its concept and principles. This paper is a brief introduction to the theories and approaches on speech acts as well as its application for ELT pedagogy. The paper is made up of three parts. In the first part, former investigations and theories on speech acts would be introduced and discussed. The second part is a discussion on communicative competence in English language teaching. In the third part, two sample tasks of implicit pedagogy for speech acts would be introduced. A conclusion of teaching speech acts implicitly is given out in the fourth part.
Induced graphs of uniform spanning forests

Given a subgraph $H$ of a graph $G$, the induced graph of $H$ is the largest subgraph of $G$ whose vertex set is the same as that of $H$. Our paper concerns the induced graphs of the components of $\operatorname{WSF}(G)$, the wired spanning forest on $G$, and, to a lesser extent, $\operatorname{FSF}(G)$, the free uniform spanning forest. We show that the induced graph of each component of $\operatorname{WSF}(\mathbb Z^d$) is almost surely recurrent when $d\ge 8$. Moreover, the effective resistance between two points on the ray of the tree to infinity within a component grows linearly when $d\ge9$. For any vertex-transitive graph $G$, we establish the following resampling property: Given a vertex $o$ in $G$, let $\mathcal T_o$ be the component of $\operatorname{WSF}(G)$ containing $o$ and $\overline{\mathcal{T}_o}$ be its induced graph. Conditioned on $\overline{\mathcal{T}_o}$, the tree $\mathcal T_o$ is distributed as $\operatorname{WSF}(\overline{\mathcal{T}_o})$. For any graph $G$, we also show that if $\mathcal T_o$ is the component of $\operatorname{FSF}(G)$ containing $o$ and $\overline{\mathcal{T}_o}$ is its induced graph, then conditioned on $\overline{\mathcal{T}_o}$, the tree $\mathcal T_o$ is distributed as $\operatorname{FSF}(\overline{\mathcal{T}_o})$.
