Spatial perspectives at the consumer-store interface
Creators: name: Taylor, Stuart Martin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The understanding of consumer spatial behaviour, and of the forces influencing the spatial organisation of urban retail activity, can be advanced through an analysis of the processes operating at the consumer-store interface. Such an analysis can contribute to the development of models of consumer spatial behaviour which combine predictive accuracy and theoretical adequacy. A review of the literature indicates that this combination has not characterised the models previously developed in the course of retail geographic research. A model formulated in the field of consumer behaviour theory serves as the conceptual framework for analysing the process whereby a consumer forms preferences for particular stores. This process involves complex interactions at the consumer-store interface between two basic variable sets comprising consumer characteristics and store characteristics. In essence, preferences are formed as the outcome of the consumer comparing perceived store characteristics with a set of predetermined evaluative criteria. These preferences relate to the set of store characteristics which the consumer interprets as sources of satisfaction in the course of shopping experience. The measurement of consumer attitudes towards salient store characteristics provides the basis for operationalising the conceptual model of store preference formation. An empirical study was conducted to identify the structure of consumer preferences for clothing stores and to derive consumer groups consisting of individuals with relatively similar attitude profiles. Unstructured interviews with consumers served to determine a set of salient attitudinal items. These items were then incorporated within a modified Likert attitude scaling instrument, which was administered to a convenience sample group comprising undergraduate students and their parents. The data obtained was factor analysed to identify attitudinal dimensions. Ten factors were extracted which indicated that concepts such as "boutiqueness", "cheapness", "security", "convenience", "exclusiveness" and "reliability" were appropriate to describe the structure of the clothing store preferences of the sample group. Factor scores were computed for each of the respondents and a hierarchical grouping technique was used to derive six consumer groups. Interpretation of the "representative group profiles' showed that the groups could be equated with recognisable shopper types, including the 'teenage boutique' shopper, the 'bargain store' shopper, and the high class 'specialty store' shopper. The findings of this empirical study require further validation and extension in the course of additional research; nevertheless, they indicate the potential utility of attitude measurement as a basis for explaining the spatial preferences of consumers in the retail environment. This is a step towards the development of models which can adequately explain and accurately predict consumer spatial behaviour.
Can causal dynamical triangulations probe factor-ordering issues?

description: The causal dynamical triangulations (CDT) program has for the first time allowed for path-integral computation of correlation functions in full general relativity without symmetry reductions and taking into account Lorentzian signature. One of the most exciting recent results in CDT is the strong agreement of these computations with (minisuperspace) path integral calculations in quantum cosmology. Herein I will describe my current project to compute minisuperspace (Friedman-Robertson-Walker) path integrals with a range of different measures corresponding to various factor orderings of the Friedman-Robertson-Walker Hamiltonian. The aim is to compare with CDT results and ask whether CDT can shed light on factor-ordering ambiguities in quantum cosmology models.

description: Kinetics of phase separation transition in boson-fermion cold atom mixtures is investigated. We identify the parameters at which the transition is governed by quantum nucleation mechanism, responsible for the formation of critical nuclei of a stable phase. We demonstrate that for low fermion-boson mass ratio the density dependence of quantum nucleation transition rate is experimentally observable. The crossover to macroscopic quantum tunneling regime is analyzed. Based on a microscopic description of interacting cold atom boson-fermion mixtures we derive an effective action for the critical droplet and obtain an asymptotic expression for the nucleation rate in the vicinity of the phase transition and near the spinodal instability of the mixed phase. We show that dissipation due to excitations in fermion subsystem play a dominant role close to the transition point.

We show that the cascade is induced by a six-wave resonant interaction process and is characterized by increasing nonlinearity. At low wavenumbers the nonlinearity becomes strong and leads to modulational instability developing into solitons, whose number is decreasing further along the beam.

Implications of Space-Time foam for Entanglement Correlations of Neutral Kaons

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The role of $CPT$ invariance and consequences for bipartite entanglement of neutral (K) mesons are discussed. A relaxation of $CPT$ leads to a modification of the entanglement which is known as the $ω$ effect. The relaxation of assumptions required to prove the $CPT$ theorem are examined within the context of models of space-time foam. It is shown that the evasion of the EPR type entanglement implied by $CPT$ (which is connected with spin statistics) is rather elusive. Relaxation of locality (through non-commutative geometry) or the introduction of decoherence by themselves do not lead to a destruction of the entanglement. So far we find only one model which is based on non-critical strings and D-particle capture and recoil that leads to a stochastic contribution to the space-time metric and consequent change in the neutral meson bipartite entanglement. The lack of an omega effect is demonstrated for a class of models based on thermal like baths which are generally considered as generic models of decoherence.

Isolated pulsar spin evolution on the P-Pdot Diagram

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We look at two contrasting spin-down models for isolated radio pulsars and, accounting for selection effects, synthesize observable populations. While our goal is to reproduce all of the observable characteristics, in this paper we pay particular attention to the form of the spin period vs. period derivative (P-Pdot) diagram and its dependence on various pulsar properties. We analyse the initial spin period, the braking index, the magnetic field, various beaming models, as well as the pulsar's luminosity. In addition to considering the standard magnetic dipole model for pulsar spin-down, we also consider the recent hybrid model proposed by Contopoulos & Spitkovsky. The magnetic dipole model, however, does a better job of reproducing the observed pulsar population. We conclude that random alignment angles and period dependent luminosity distributions are essential to reproduce the observed P-Pdot diagram. We also consider the time decay of alignment angles, and attempt to reconcile various models currently being studied. We conclude that, in order to account for recent evidence for the alignment found by Weltevrede & Johnston, the braking torque on a neutron star should not depend strongly on the inclination. Our simulation code is publically available and includes a web-based interface to examine the results and make predictions for yields of current and future surveys.

The latest generation of population synthesis models have allowed to derive age and stellar metallicity estimates for large samples of low-redshift galaxies. After reviewing the main results about the distribution in ages and metallicities as a function of galaxy mass, I will concentrate on recent analysis that aims at disentangling the dependences of stellar populations properties on environment and on galaxy stellar mass. Finally, new models that predict the response of the full spectrum to variations in [alpha/Fe] will allow us to derive accurate estimates of element abundance ratios and gain deeper insight into the timescales of star formation cessation.

Secondary school English language teachers in mainland China : a study of their classroom practices and their attitudes towards methodological and materials innovation
Creators: name: Wong, LT
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The methodologies in language pedagogy used by teachers have been a neglected area of study in Mainland China. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has become popular in second language teaching and it claims to hold the key to the door of effective language learning and teaching. However, the true value of any approach or perspective can only be tested and asserted within the classroom. Books, articles and innovation projects, although essential for spreading the popularity of a new approach and theoretically exemplifying its benefits, do very little to guarantee its implementation. This study therefore attempts to present a contribution to the area where CLT is most lacking, i.e. research into its classroom implementation. The study aims to describe and assess the extent to which Chinese English language teachers have come to terms with CLT and are implementing a curriculum and utilising a series of textbooks based on principles of a communicative learner-centred approach in their classrooms. Data for the research were collected from the Chinese English language teachers who teach at public secondary schools in Mainland China by using classroom observation, interviews, attitude scale and questionnaire. The results indicate that no matter how carefully curricula are developed or no matter how thoroughly materials are designed, it is the teachers and how they choose to exploit materials and use language in the classroom that determine whether a curriculum or a course is communicative. The findings also provide evidence of the gap that exists between the writings of academics and aspirations of the curriculum developers on the one hand and the actual classroom reality on the other, and point out the possible causes of this gap as well as the factors that to a great extent determine the successful implementation of a communicative learner-centred approach.

‘Designed For Her’: translational traction of female specific soccer boots

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
The popularity of female soccer has grown substantially with over 40 million participants worldwide. Despite this increase in popularity, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries for female players still occur at larger rates compared to males, with 70-85% occurring in noncontact situations in which the boot-surface interaction is paramount. Players wear studded boots to generate more traction between themselves and their playing surface to improve performance and minimize injury risk. A majority of boots available to players are constructed around a male last, and have specific design features, such as stud placement, that are unique to a male shaped foot. As females tend to have different foot geometries and features compared to males, these boots often fit incorrectly, or key features do not function as intended. Since 2019, however, manufacturers have been slowly introducing female soccer boots to players, with some companies opting to release current boot models, manufacturered instead around a female last. Other companies, such as Nike (Nike, Oregon USA), have released boots with specific characteristics such as a specialized outsole configuration for female players]. This outsole configuration is designed to minimse the traction force generated during hazarous movements to minimize the risk of foot fixation and decrease the likelihood of ACL injury [3]. Despite female boot options being available since 2019, the literature surrounding boot-surface traction focuses on male boots. This research investigates the differences in translational traction between the female boot designed by Nike (the Nike Luna) and two of their range that are designed around a male last (Nike Tiempo and Nike Vapor). This study hypothesizes that the traction generated by the Nike Luna will not be different to the Nike Tiempo and Nike Vapor.

Probes of Diffusive Shock Acceleration using Gamma-Ray Burst Prompt Emission
Creators: name: Baring, Matthew G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The principal paradigm for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) suggests that the prompt transient gamma-ray signal arises from multiple shocks internal to the relativistic expansion. This paper explores how GRB prompt emission spectra can constrain electron (or ion) acceleration properties at the relativistic shocks that pertain to GRB models. The array of possible high-energy power-law indices in accelerated populations is highlighted, focusing on how spectra above 1 MeV can probe the field obliquity in GRB internal shocks, and the character of hydromagnetic turbulence in their environs. When encompassing the MeV-band spectral break, fits to BATSE/EGRET burst data indicate that the preponderance of electrons responsible for the prompt emission reside in an intrinsically non-thermal population. This differs markedly from typical populations generated in acceleration simulations; potential resolutions of this conflict such as the action of self-absorption are mentioned. Spectral modeling also suggests that the synchrotron mechanism is favored over synchrotron self-Compton scenarios due to the latter's typically broad curvature near the peak. Such diagnostics will be enhanced by the broadband spectral coverage of bursts by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope; the GBM will provide key information on the lower energy portions of the non-thermal particle population, while the LAT will constrain the power-law regime of particle acceleration.

The problem of harm, its significance in the criminal law, and its role in sentencing law
Creators: name: Davis, Julia
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The concept of harm and the nature of its proper role in the criminal law has challenged legislators, judges and philosophers for over two thousand years. More recently, sentencing commentators have suggested that we need a theory of harm that can justify imposing principled controls on the extent to which the state is entitled take the harmful effects of a crime into account when punishing offenders. This thesis attempts to resolve both the philosophical and the practical problems posed by the highly contested concept of harm. It abandons the traditionally divisive debates over the purposes of punishment and focuses instead on constructing a two dimensional model of a crime that reflects our common nature as human beings, our shared language and culture of value and our common identity as members of a community governed by a state which exists for the purpose of providing the conditions under which we can live a good life together. This equality based model links the three concepts of harm, wrongdoing and fault with the three elements of the good life that we appear to value most, namely, our welfare, our autonomy and our desire to be respected by others as equals. It is used to analyse our criminal justice practices with the aim of ensuring that the decisions that we make at each of the three key decision making stages of legislation, conviction and sentencing can be structured around a single, coherent and consistently applied scheme of values. The thesis concludes by presenting an account of the criminal law and the sentencing process that relies upon the normative aspects of wrongdoing and fault to justify imposing limits on the role played by harm. This model: ‚Äöallocates distinct functions to the concepts of harm, wrongdoing and fault in the assessment of the seriousness of a crime; ‚Äöexplains the significance of harm's role in the legislative task of setting general penalty ranges and the judicial task of determining individual sentences; ‚Äöcontains a two-limbed remoteness test limiting the categories of harm that may be taken into account; ‚Äöjustifies a principle of comparative fault that limits the quantum of punishment where the state itself is partly responsible for the harm caused by offenders; and ‚Äödemonstrates that it is possible to construct a principled and coherent account of the criminal law and sentencing law without first having to agree upon a theory of punishment.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
Perceptual confusions among permissible and impermissible english consonant clusters
Creators: name: Newton, Colleen Nora
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The present study is an attempt to gain insight into the perceptual mechanism for consonant clusters and to discern its relationship to existing theories of speech perception. Nonsense syllables were constructed, consisting of the vowel /I/ and 18 two consonant clusters composed of one of the fricatives /s/, /f/, and /∫/ and one of the plosives /p/, /t/, and /k/ in either order. Some of these clusters form permissible English clusters, the others impermissible clusters. These clusters appeared in three positions; initial, medial (followed by /in/ ), and final. They were recorded by a trained phonetician. Pink noise at a +3 dB signal-to-noise ratio (determined from peak readings) was used to mask the signal. Nine experimental tapes (three for each cluster position) were constructed; 108 items were presented on each tape. Eighteen subjects (nine males and nine females) each listened to one tape for each position and responded according to a forced choice paradigm to each item by writing the cluster they perceived. Responses for all subjects and for each position were tabulated in confusion matrices and analyzed according 1) to permissibility as English clusters, 2) to manner of articulation, 3) to place of articulation and 4) to differentiation according to the distinctive features of [anterior], [coronal], and [distributed]. Inspection of these confusion matrices indicated that there may be some difference in the perception of permissible and impermissible clusters; however, results are not conclusive. The proposal that clusters are perceived as a unit is refuted by the results obtained. Manner of articulation was identified correctly more frequently than place of articulation. Place of articulation for fricatives was identified correctly more frequently than place of articulation for plosives. Analyses according to distinctive features provides some support for distinctive features. The relationship of the results of this study to four major theories of speech perception is discussed. Three of these can be used to explain some aspect of the responses observed.

description: We develop a new Bayesian method for estimating white noise levels in CMB sky maps, and apply this algorithm to the 5-year WMAP data. We assume that the amplitude of the noise RMS is scaled by a constant value, alpha, relative to a pre-specified noise level. We then derive the corresponding conditional density, P(alpha | s, Cl, d), which is subsequently integrated into a general CMB Gibbs sampler. We first verify our code by analyzing simulated data sets, and then apply the framework to the WMAP data. For the foreground-reduced 5-year WMAP sky maps and the nominal noise levels initially provided in the 5-year data release, we find that the posterior means typically range between alpha=1.005 +- 0.001 and alpha=1.010 +- 0.001 depending on differencing assembly, indicating that the noise level of these maps are biased low by 0.5-1.0%. The same problem is not observed for the uncorrected WMAP sky maps. After the preprint version of this letter appeared on astro-ph., the WMAP team has corrected the values presented on their web page, noting that the initially provided values were in fact estimates from the 3-year data release, not from the 5-year estimates. However, internally in their 5-year analysis the correct noise values were used, and no cosmological results are therefore compromised by this error. Thus, our method has already been demonstrated in practice to be both useful and accurate.

description: Clostridioides difficile infections can be life-threatening and are often associated with antibiotic use. Infections often recur because the bacteria can form tough, dormant cells that can persist in many environments. This study first aimed to identify new antibiotics that specifically target the formation of these resilient cells. This investigation also characterised key proteins whose activity is essential in forming these dormant cells, offering novel ways to target and break the cycle of recurring C. difficile infections.
