description: Fitting a log binomial regression model using standard software can result in numerical difficulties because its functional form does not restrict the estimated probabilities to values not exceeding unity. The common approaches to resolve the issue are to introduce a constraint to limit the results of each iteration. However, if the ML solution lies on the boundary of the allowable parameter space, some fitted probabilities are equal to unity (named as boundary vector). The common approaches have trouble dealing with those boundary vectors and can only reach somewhere before the ML solution. Previously a remedy has been proposed, but without the details necessary to implement it. Here we provide these details, including formulae for estimating the covariances essential to implement the method, an explanation of inter-dependency between coefficient estimates, and a proof that the method can be implemented in general. Code written for R implements choice of fitting algorithms, finding appropriate starting values, identifying the covariate vector(s) with a fitted probability of unity, and strategies for covariate ordering to handle the issues caused by the common values in two distinct boundary vectors. The model-fitting results are compared with two alternative methods by simulation and example data.
Seachange : subtitle an environmental history of the Pacific halibut fishery 1878-1960
Creators: name: Thistle, John Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Seachange is a study of shifting emphases in Pacific halibut conservation policy, and a story about the changing relationship between people and nature. North American fishery conservation policy cut its teeth on the Pacific halibut fishery. It has been cooperatively managed by Canada and the United States since 1923, and has been at the center of what may prove to be two of the most important debates over fishery policy in the last century. What follows, however, is less a study of specific policies than it is a study of shifting emphases in North American fishery management. Although people have been fishing halibut for hundreds of years, the idea that their activities need to be managed is relatively new. But the idea of "management" begs two further questions: managed how and to what end? These are the questions to which Seachange seeks answers.
Neutrino Detection with Inclined Air Showers
Creators: name: Zas, Enrique
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The possibilities of detecting high energy neutrinos through inclined showers produced in the atmosphere are addressed with an emphasis on the detection of air showers by arrays of particle detectors. Rates of inclined showers produced by both down-going neutrino interactions and by up-coming $τ$ decays from earth-skimming neutrinos as a function of shower energy are calculated with analytical methods using two sample neutrino fluxes with different spectral indices. The relative contributions from different flavors and charged, neutral current and resonant interactions are compared for down-going neutrinos interacting in the atmosphere. No detailed description of detectors is attempted but rough energy thresholds are implemented to establish the ranges of energies which are more suitable for neutrino detection through inclined showers. Down-going and up-coming rates are compared.

description: The expected spacing, or average difference between consecutive order statistics, is known for uniform and exponential random variates. For other distributions, we can estimate it using the derivative of the inverse cumulative density (quantile) function, since passing a uniformly drawn value, whose spacing we know, through this function generates a random value from the distribution, and the difference between two such uniform values approximates the derivative. We calculate the spacing for two new distributions, the logistic and Gumbel, and show the estimator is exact for the first and approximate for the second. Comparing the estimators for six other distributions to numeric simulations shows they are also approximations, best in the middle of the order statistics with an error that goes inversely with the square of the sample size, but degrading in the tails.

Cultural Heritage Policy, Civil Society and Identity in Hong Kong
Creators: name: Yeung Fok
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigates Hong Kong’s social process of heritage in both colonial and postcolonial contexts through the analysis of the city’s cultural heritage policy between 1976 and 2018.This research has three objectives. Firstly, this thesis explores the emergence and development of Hong Kong’s cultural heritage policy between 1976 and 2018. Secondly, it explores how different stakeholders from the local civil society have helped to establish and reshape the approach to cultural governance through various civil advocacies and heritage movements. It also identifies how heritage discourses of Hong Kong have been articulated and re-assembled alongside the city’s social process of heritage. Thirdly, it illustrates how notions of Hong Kong’s cultural and social identity have been formed and re-constructed through the rise of heritage movements and the making of local cultural heritage policy.This thesis employs various significant events such as the enaction of the first local heritage legislation in 1976 and the movement to save the Central Star Ferry Pier in 2006 in the local history of cultural heritage policy as case studies under the analytical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Also, by conducting archival research, media research and in-depth interviews, this thesis argues that an economic-led approach to cultural heritage policy has been actively adopted in Hong Kong. However, this approach has been challenged by various stakeholders of the local civil society through the articulation of new social and cultural heritage values of Hong Kong, especially in the post-colonial period. Alongside this ever-changing process of local heritage, a cultural and social identity dilemma between localism and ‘Chineseness’ has emerged in postcolonial Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a unique example of the arrangement of ‘One Country, Two Systems’. Therefore, this thesis hopes to contribute to the growing discussion of postcolonial heritage politics in the contemporary Asian context.

description: In this paper, we study the four dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) theories in the Newman-Penrose (NP) formalism. We adapt the equations of motion into the NP formalism, and obtain the solution space that is asymptotic to the flat space-time. We then investigate the gravitational and electromagnetic memory effects. We find that the dilaton does not contribute to the displacement nor the kick memory effects, but it does contribute to the time-delayed memory effect.

description: Cooperatives face unique challenges in compensating managers because it is more difficult to link the financial interests of the manager to those of the cooperative. One way to overcome this challenge is to use performance-based bonuses. This study of cooperatives in Minnesota and Wisconsin found that such bonuses are infrequently used. Further. evidence indicates that existing bonuses tend to be linked more to the size of the cooperative (sales. assets) than to profitability. These results suggest that more attention to this critical area is warranted.

description: An infinite triangular lattice of classical dipolar spins is usually considered to have a ferromagnetic ground state. We examine the validity of this statement for finite lattices and in the limit of large lattices. We find that the ground state of rectangular arrays is strongly dependent on size and aspect ratio. Three results emerge that are significant for understanding the ground state properties: i) formation of domain walls is energetically favored for aspect ratios below a critical valu e; ii) the vortex state is always energetically favored in the thermodynamic limit of an infinite number of spins, but nevertheless such a configuration may not be observed even in very large lattices if the aspect ratio is large; iii) finite range approximations to actual dipole sums may not provide the correct ground sta te configuration because the ferromagnetic state is linearly unstable and the domain wall energy is negative for any finite range cutoff.

The experience of PostTraumatic Growth by Irish female cancer survivors.
Creators: name: Walsh, Marie
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis explores how 67 Irish female cancer survivors experienced positive growth from cancer. With better treatment and improvements in early detection, the cancer survivor population is growing exponentially. Survivors have unmet needs and there is a need for and a shortage of psycho social supports available. We need to understand the lived experience of cancer survivors to be able to provide supports appropriate to their needs.The literature review positions this project within the research fields of survivorship and psycho-oncology. It examines the development and debates of the Model of PostTraumatic Growth which is a key framework used in this research.There are three key research questions: What is PostTraumatic Growth (PTG) in the context of female cancer recovery? To what extent does the PostTraumatic Growth Inventory effectively capture Irish women’s experience of cancer recovery? And how does the PostTraumatic Growth Inventory compare to semi-structured interviews in understanding women’s experiences of cancer recovery?The research employs a mixed-methods approach. The qualitative data consists of semi structured interviews and the quantitative data is derived from the PostTraumatic Growth Inventory-42. Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) was used to analyse the qualitative data and Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software used to analyse the quantitative data with an emphasis on descriptive statistics, correlations and Principal Components Analysis.The findings highlight the importance of quality ‘social support’ especially from close friends as a significant driver of cancer recovery. Participants experienced the greatest degree of growth in the Relate to Others Factor. The findings suggest two new areas of positive growth: Proactive Mindset and Self Worth. Participants with children experienced greater positive growth compared to those who did not have children. Age, marital status and cancer stage were not predictors of growth.This research recommends maximising social support as a key recovery driver and highlights the need to develop a new PostTraumatic Growth Inventory to ensure its validity as a measurement tool of positive growth for the cancer survivor population.

The induced spectral transmission window is used to demonstrate slow-light effects, and we show that the observed broadening of the spectral features is due to collisions of the molecules with the inner walls of the fiber core. Our results illustrate that such fibers can be used to facilitate strong coherent light-matter interactions even when the optical response of the individual molecules is weak.

description: A model of a three-stage vertical market structure consisting of agricultural producers. an assembler, and a processor is developed to analyze the market incentives farmer cooperatives may have for integrating forward into processing activities and to evaluate the comparative impacts of cooperative forward integration on producers and consumers. Although forward integration by cooperatives generally provides benefits to both producers and consumers under fixed-proportions processing technology and constant assembly and processing costs. the existence of an integration incentive appears to depend upon the ability of the cooperative to restrict the raw product output of its producers to optimal levels.

description: We investigate infrared colours and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 338 X-ray selected AGN from Swift-BAT 105-month survey catalogue that have AKARI detection, in order to find a new selection criteria for Compton-thick AGN. By combining data from Galaxy Evolution Explore (GALEX), Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 14 (DR14), Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), AKARI and Herschel for the first time we perform ultraviolet (UV) to far-infrared (FIR) SED fitting 158 Swift BAT AGN by CIGALE and constrain the AGN model parameters of obscured and Compton-thick AGN. The comparison of average SEDs show while the mid-IR (MIR) SEDs are similar for the three AGN populations, optical/UV and FIR regions have differences. We measure the dust luminosity, the pure AGN luminosity and the total infrared (IR) luminosity. We examine the relationships between the measured infrared luminosities and the hard X-ray luminosity in the 14-195 keV band. We show that the average covering factor of Compton-thick AGN is higher compared to the obscured and unobscured AGN. We present a new infrared selection for Compton-thick AGN based on MIR and FIR colours ([9$μ$m - 22$μ$m]$ > 3.0$ and [22$μ$m - 90$μ$m]$ < 2.7$) from WISE and AKARI. We find two known Compton-thick AGN that are not included in the Swift-BAT sample, and conclude that MIR colours covering 9.7$μ$m silicate absorption and MIR continuum can be a promising new tool to identify Compton-thick AGN.

Sets of mesons $J^P=0^-,~1^-,~0^+,~1^+,~2^+,~3^-$ and different flavors constituent quarks $(u=d,~s,~,c~,b)$ are considered.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: The traditional pricing mechanism examined in the economic literature on cooperatives is uniform (or linear) pricing. The conclusion of the literature is that uniform pricing mechanisms will often give rise to economic inefficiencies. These inefficiencies emerge when the cooperative is operating in a region of either increasing average cost or decreasing average cost. The reason for these inefficiencies is that uniform pricing schemes cannot allocate the profits or losses of a cooperative among its members without distorting the decisions members make. The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of non-uniform pricing in generating efficient outcomes and to examine the distributional effects of simple non-uniform pricing schemes. Although the focus of this paper is specifically on cooperatives. the results are applicable in other situations in which average cost pricing is used.

description: Delivery rights to a cooperative's marketing pool can take on a value independent of the members' equity share under certain conditions. Based on anecdotal information, transferable delivery rights become valuable when the pool is fixed in size (closed), members are protected from exploitation of quasi economic rents, and have an assured "home" for their production. The greater the potential buyers' aversion to risk, the higher the value of the delivery right. The right has additional value if the cooperative generates a premium per unit return due to product differentiation and market power. Cooperatives competing with investor-owned firms in less than purely competitive markets must be able to pay equal net returns to members if they are to survive.
Curvature tensors on distorted Killing horizons and their algebraic classification

description: We consider generic static spacetimes with Killing horizons and study properties of curvature tensors in the horizon limit. It is determined that the Weyl, Ricci, Riemann and Einstein tensors are algebraically special and mutually aligned on the horizon. It is also pointed out that results obtained in the tetrad adjusted to a static observer in general differ from those obtained in a free-falling frame. This is connected to the fact that a static observer becomes null on the horizon. It is also shown that finiteness of the Kretschmann scalar on the horizon is compatible with the divergence of the Weyl component $Ψ_{3}$ or $Ψ_{4}$ in the freely falling frame. Furthermore finiteness of $Ψ_{4}$ is compatible with divergence of curvature invariants constructed from second derivatives of the Riemann tensor. We call the objects with finite Krestschmann scalar but infinite $Ψ_{4}$ ``truly naked black holes''. In the (ultra)extremal versions of these objects the structure of the Einstein tensor on the horizon changes due to extra terms as compared to the usual horizons, the null energy condition being violated at some portions of the horizon surface. The demand to rule out such divergencies leads to the constancy of the factor that governs the leading term in the asymptotics of the lapse function and in this sense represents a formal analog of the zeroth law of mechanics of non-extremal black holes. In doing so, all extra terms in the Einstein tensor automatically vanish.

description: Turbulent convection is thought to act as an effective viscosity in damping equilibrium tidal flows, driving spin and orbital evolution in close convective binary systems. Compared to mixing-length predictions, this viscosity ought to be reduced when the tidal frequency $|ω_t|$ exceeds the turnover frequency $ω_{cν}$ of the dominant convective eddies, but the efficiency of this reduction has been disputed. We reexamine this long-standing controversy using direct numerical simulations of an idealized global model. We simulate thermal convection in a full sphere, and externally forced by the equilibrium tidal flow, to measure the effective viscosity $ν_E$ acting on the tidal flow when $|ω_t|/ω_{cν} \gtrsim 1$. We demonstrate that the frequency reduction of $ν_E$ is correlated with the frequency spectrum of the (unperturbed) convection. For intermediate frequencies below those in the turbulent cascade ($|ω_t|/ω_{cν} \sim 1-5$), the frequency spectrum displays an anomalous $1/ω^α$ power law that is responsible for the frequency-reduction $ν_E \propto 1/|ω_t|^α$, where $α< 1$ depends on the model parameters. We then get $|ν_E| \propto 1/|ω_t|^δ$ with $δ> 1$ for higher frequencies, and $δ=2$ is obtained for a Kolmogorov turbulent cascade. A generic $|ν_E| \propto 1/|ω_t|^{2}$ suppression is next found for higher frequencies within the dissipation range of the convection (but with negative values). Our results indicate that a better knowledge of the frequency spectrum of convection is necessary to accurately predict the efficiency of tidal dissipation in stars and planets resulting from this mechanism.

The leading IR renormalon ambiguity of the sum of the perturbative series is canceled by the UV renormalon ambiguity of the gluon condensate. Asymptotic behaviour of the perturbative series is obtained in a model-independent way, up to a single unknown normalization factor. Gluon-virtuality distribution functions for the perturbative correction are calculated.

description: This research examines the transformation of Hungarian agricultural production cooperatives. In contrast to early expectations, cooperatives did not experience much membership loss. Rather, the enterprises held together, although they downsized. The distribution of collective assets occurred quickly and created much tension. The sector experienced a severe decapitalization, and the efficiency of the sector fell. There was a sharp rise in unemployment. Sales and marketing were disrupted. Thus, the cooperatives transformed in a very hostile situation. They survived, and some prospered, yet, in general, they remain vulnerable to adverse economic developments. Healthy cooperatives will be vital to the success of smaller private farms.
The origin of the double main sequence in Omega Centauri: Helium enrichment due to gas fueling from its ancient host galaxy ?

description: Recent observational studies of $ω$ Centauri by {\it Hubble Space Telescope} have discovered a double main sequence in the color magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of its stellar populations. The stellar population with the blue main sequence (bMS) is observationally suggested to have a helium abundance much larger, by $ΔY\sim 0.12$, than that of the red main sequence (rMS). By using somewhat idealized models in which stars of the bMS are formed from gas ejected from those of the rMS, we quantitatively investigate whether the helium overabundance of the bMS can result from self-enrichment from massive AGB stars, from mass loss of very massive young stars, or from type II supernovae within $ω$ Cen. We show that as long as the helium enrichment is due to ejecta from the rMS formed earlier than the bMS, none of the above three enrichment scenarios can explain the observed properties of the bMS self-consistently for reasonable IMFs. The common, serious problem in all cases is that the observed number fraction of the bMS can not be explained without assuming unusually top-heavy IMFs. This failure of the self-enrichment scenarios implies that most of the helium-enriched gas necessary for the formation of the bMS originated from other external sources. We thus suggest a new scenario that most of the second generation of stars (i.e., the bMS) in $ω$ Cen could be formed from gas ejected from field stellar populations that surrounded $ω$ Cen when it was a nucleus of an ancient dwarf galaxy.

description: Shock wave gives back reaction to spacetime and the information is stored in the memory of background. Quantum memory effect of localised shock wave on Minkowski metric is investigated here. We find that the Wightman function for massless scalar field, on both sides of the wave location, turns out to be the same for usual Minkowski spacetime. Therefore the observables obtained from this, for any kind of observer, do not show the signature of the shock. Moreover, the vacuum states of field on both sides are equivalent. On the contrary, the correlator for the non-vacuum state does memorise the classical shock wave and hence the effect of it is visible in the observables, even for any frame. We argue that rather than vacuum state, the non-vacuum ones are relevant to retrieve the quantum information of classical memory.

description: Pharmacoeconomics is the application of economic evaluation methods to drug products and pharmacist services.Society is spending too much on health services; we are not getting our "money's worth" from our health economists and policy experts: why we spend too much money on health services. The answer is the lack of pharmacoeconomics evaluation in Turkey.Pharmacoeconomics is particularly relevant when managing the health of a group or population. This includes any organization that uses pooled resources to pay for health services, such as Social Insurance Organization, Retirement Fund, Social Security Organization for Self Employed, Green Card, Special Insurance Funds.The goal of these organizations is to use their pool of available resources to improve their members' health. This is also the purpose of pharmacy management at the population level. The usefulness of pharmacoeconomic evaluations is resolving these dilemmas.

description: Strategic alliance and joint venture agreements are analyzed using the prisoners' dilemma and assurance problem models of game theory. Hypotheses regarding the factors contributing to the success/failure of the agreements are formulated. These hypotheses are confirmed with data from interviews with managers of grain marketing cooperatives in eastern Colorado. Our results suggest that joint venture and strategic alliance agreements represent an opportunity for local cooperatives to take advantage of size economies while maintaining their individual business identities. Successful agreements require not only attention to the financial and operational components but diligence in the interpersonal dynamics of trust, commitment, and open communication.
Topological Vector Symmetry of BRSTQFT and Construction of Maximal Supersymmetry

description: The scalar and vector topological Yang-Mills symmetries determine a closed and consistent sector of Yang-Mills supersymmetry. We provide a geometrical construction of these symmetries, based on a horizontality condition on reducible manifolds. This yields globally well-defined scalar and vector topological BRST operators. These operators generate a subalgebra of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, which is small enough to be closed off-shell with a finite set of auxiliary fields and large enough to determine the Yang-Mills supersymmetric theory. Poincaré supersymmetry is reached in the limit of flat manifolds. The arbitrariness of the gauge functions in BRSTQFTs is thus removed by the requirement of scalar and vector topological symmetry, which also determines the complete supersymmetry transformations in a twisted way. Provided additional Killing vectors exist on the manifold, an equivariant extension of our geometrical framework is provided, and the resulting "equivariant topological field theory" corresponds to the twist of super Yang-Mills theory on Omega backgrounds.

description: Uncovering the occurrence rate of terrestrial planets within the Habitable Zone (HZ) of their host stars has been a particular focus of exoplanetary science in recent years. The statistics of these occurrence rates have largely been derived from transiting planet discoveries, and have uncovered numerous HZ planets in compact systems around M dwarf host stars. Here we explore the width of the HZ as a function of spectral type, and the dynamical constraints on the number of stable orbits within the HZ for a given star. We show that, although the Hill radius for a given planetary mass increases with larger semi-major axis, the width of the HZ for earlier-type stars allows for more terrestrial planets in the HZ than late-type stars. In general, dynamical constraints allow $\sim$6 HZ Earth-mass planets for stellar masses $\gtrsim 0.7 M_\odot$, depending on the presence of farther out giant planets. As an example, we consider the case of Beta CVn, a nearby bright solar-type star. We present 20 years of radial velocities (RV) from the Keck/HIRES and APF instruments and conduct an injection-recovery analysis of planetary signatures in the data. Our analysis of these RV data rule out planets more massive than Saturn within 10~AU of the star. These system properties are used to calculate the potential dynamical packing of terrestrial planets in the HZ and show that such nearby stellar targets could be particularly lucrative for HZ planet detection by direct imaging exoplanet missions.

description: North Dakota and Minnesota are currently witnessing a renewal in the growth of cooperative enterprises. At the heart of this renewal lies the so-called New Generation Cooperative (NGC), a term that has been applied to the dozens of value-added processing, selected membership cooperatives that have recently formed in the region's agricultural sector. A key organizational feature of NGCs is the linking of producer capital contributions and product delivery rights. This paper describes the organizational features of NGCs and positions them in the broader context of cooperative incentive structures, governance structures, and the cooperative development process. More generally, the paper uses NGCs as a lens through which important elements of cooperative theory can be reviewed.
The use of specific versus general risk assessment tools and the predictors of criminal history and psychopathy among an archival sample of incarcerated male batterers
Creators: name: Thomas, Lindsay A.

description: The files of 92 men with a history of domestic violence were evaluated to assess: 1) the degree to which criminal history is associated with particular intimate violence patterns; 2) the extent to which psychopathy among batterers can be predicted from criminal history and spousal assault patterns; and 3) the relative efficacy of applying measures of general violence risk, such as the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 1980, 1990), versus measures of specific violence risk, such as the Spousal Assault Risk Assessment Guide (SARA; Kropp, Hart, Webster, & Eaves, 1994, 1995, 1998) to batterer populations. Findings examining criminal history suggest that battering behaviors among men who also have a history of assault outside the home merely mark a manifestation of a more global pattern of offending. Further, regression analyses show that simple assault charges and severity of spousal assault incidents function as significant predictors of psychopathy (p < .05). The results of the current study lend support to the trend of developing specific violence risk assessment tools. That is, what we know about violence risk prediction, despite the fact that there is considerable overlap in the variables that seem to predict general and specific acts of violence, should be reframed in terms of various violent offender groups to develop specific risk measures, such as the SARA.

description: Seven years of debt covenant violations of private lending agreements of eighty-three agricultural cooperatives were examined. A LOGIT prediction model of debt covenant violations was developed and the factors that affect debt covenant violations were identified. These factors include cooperative size, working capital, the quick ratio, the existence of a management compensation plan, the tax-exempt status of the cooperative, a bank rating, and the current amount of loan payments.
Eliashberg theory of phonon-mediated superconductivity -- when it is valid and how it breaks down

description: We analyze the validity of Eliashberg theory of phonon-mediated superconductivity in 2D systems in light of recent extensive Monte-Carlo studies of the Holstein model. Conventional wisdom says that Eliashberg theory is applicable as long as vertex corrections remain small. For small ratio of the phonon energy $Ω_0$ and the Fermi energy $E_F$, this condition is supposed to hold even when the dimensionless electron-phonon coupling $λ$ is larger than one, i.e., in the strong coupling regime. A comparison between various quantities computed in the Migdal approximation and those computed by Quantum Monte Carlo prove that this belief is wrong, and we identify analytically some of the ways in which this breakdown occurs for various "normal state" properties at $λ= λ_{cr}$, where $λ_{cr} = O(1)$. The breakdown occurs at temperatures high enough that neither superconducting nor charge-density wave correlations extend over any significant range of distances, so it cannot be associated with the onset of an instability toward any of the relevant ordered ground-states - rather it is associated with the local physics of classical bipolaron formation. Still, we show that certain properties, including the superconducting $T_c$ and the superconducting gap structure below $T_c$, can be accurately inferred from the strong-coupling limit of Eliashberg theory at $λ\leq λ_{cr}$.
