description: I review the physics of the Higgs sector in the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension, the MSSM. I will discuss the prospects for discovering the Higgs particles at the upgraded Tevatron, at the Large Hadron Collider, and at a future high--energy $e^+e^-$ linear collider with centre--of--mass energy in the 350--800 GeV range, as well as the possibilities for studying their fundamental properties. Some emphasis will be put on the theoretical developments which occurred in the last two years.

description: People who receive public assistance confront a number of “clocks” that may affect program participation. Examples of clocks include time limits on receiving benefits and recurring deadlines for reconfirming eligibility. This study examines the role of program clocks, economic conditions, and other circumstances on participation in South Carolina’s cash and food assistance programs. Families in South Carolina’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program are restricted to 2 years of benefits in any 10-year period. Caseworkers set intervals between redetermining TANF eligibility but cannot make them longer than a year. Families in the State’s Food Stamp Program (FSP) are required to recertify their eligibility at regular intervals. The study shows that South Carolina’s 2-year time limit hastens exits from and reduces returns to the TANF program and that the State’s policy of quarterly recertifications hastened exits from the FSP. In addition, annual redeterminations may contribute to TANF exits. Finding employment speeds exits from the FSP and cash assistance and delays returns to the programs. Cash assistance participation may lead to longer spells of receiving food stamps.

description: Several recent changes in the Food Stamp Program (FSP) have been directed at households without children. Some of the changes,such as new work requirements and time limits for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs), are intended to encourage economic self-sufficiency and to reduce program dependence. Other changes are intended to raise low program participation rates among vulnerable groups. This study examines administrative records for adult-only households from South Carolina’s public assistance and Unemloyment Insurance systems during 1996- 2003. The study investigate show patterns of exit from and re-entry into the FSP and patterns of employment vary with program provisions for ABAWDs, recertification intervals, economic conditions, and personal and family characteristics. The study shows that households subject to ABAWD policies had shorter spells of food stamp participation, longer spells of food stamp non participation,and higher rates of employment than did households not subject to the policies. In addition, adult-only households were much more likely to leave the FSP at recertification time than at other times .Finding employment hastened exits from the FSP and delayed returns.
title: Growth, inhibition and pathogenicity of microorganisms in enteral nutrient solutions
Creators: name: Hodgson, Ian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: Enteral nutrient solutions (ENS) which are contaminated with microorganisms from exogenous sources or from the microbial flora of the patient's own gastrointestinal tract are associated with bacteraemia, diarrhoea, respiratory infections and septicaemia. These infections seriously undermine some of the advantages of enteral feeding by increasing patient morbidity, mortality and lengthening hospital stay. The strategies which have been employed to prevent contamination of enteral feeding systems and the subsequent incidence of disease have been shown to be ineffective or impractical in a clinical environment. Therefore, this thesis investigated the possibilities of using novel antimicrobial agents (oil of fennel and parabens) to inhibit the growth of microorganisms that commonly contaminate ENS and/or to alter the expression of products which mediate in their pathogenicity. In order to achieve this, the study of growth and the virulence determinants of microorganisms in enteral feeding solutions was necessary. Gram-negative bacteria are the most important group of microorganisms that contaminate ENS and therefore this group of bacteria and lipopolysaccharide, an important Gram-negative bacterial virulence determinant, were particularly singled out for study.

The results showed that the growth of all test strains of microorganisms was similar in milk-based enteral nutrient solutions and laboratory media, while only Candida albicans and Klebsiella aerogenes grew in the "fruit-based" ENS. None of microbial strains were inhibited in milk-based ENS by the concentrations of oil of fennel or parabens used singly. However, oil of fennel and parabens used in combination had synergistic antimicrobial activity and inhibited the growth of all microbial strains.

Growth in milk-based enteral nutrient solutions was found to alter the phenotypic expression and biological activity of lipopolysaccharide. Results showed differences in the O-polysaccharide portion of the lipopolysaccharide of bacteria cultured in milk-based enteral nutrient solutions compared to those cultured in laboratory media. Bacteria cultured in milk-based enteral feeds had increased serum resistance and also induced a significantly greater release of nitric oxide from a human monocyte cell line than bacteria cultured in laboratory media. The concentrations of oil of fennel and methyl parabens used in experiments did not alter the expression of O-polysacchande.

Enteral nutrient solutions can therefore, not only support the growth of microorganisms but alter virulence determinants. This could have important consequences for immunocompromised patients who receive ENS.

description: We present extensive comparisons of the composite fermion theory with exact results in the filling factor range $2/5>ν>1/3$, which affirm that the composite fermion theory correctly describes the qualitative reorganization of the low energy Hilbert space of the strongly correlated electrons, and predicts eigenenergies with an accuracy of $\sim 0.1$ %. These facts establish the basic validity of the composite fermion description in this filling factor region.

Anomalous commutators and electroweak baryogenesis

description: Electroweak vacuum transition processes (sphalerons) in the early Universe provide a possible explanation of the baryon asymmetry. Combining this physics with the anomalous commutators of Adler and Boulware and renormalization group invariance, we argue that electroweak baryon number violation also induces a ``topological condensate'' in the vacuum. QCD sphaleron processes act to distribute the baryon number violation between both left and right handed quarks and induce a spin independent component in this ``condensate''.

description: Despite numerous efforts to improve geographical teacher training, student teachers often develop inert theoretical knowledge during their studies. Teachers’ deeply rooted implicit orientations concerning geography classes, which are important for future classroom practice and professional learning at university, are a major reason for the theory practice problem. Consequently, the question arises how a seminar has to be (re)structured in order to tie in different orientations of student teachers. It is challenging to break with such orientations once they have formed. Consequently, in addition to professional theoretical knowledge, future teachers’ studies should especially focus on developing a professional habitus through constant self-questioning. As a starting point, there is a need to know the professional orientations of student teachers in the subject of geography. Different patterns of orientations result in the possible habitus of future teachers. This study was conducted in the context of a seminar in Germany on the use of experiments in geography classrooms. Four different types of student teachers were reconstructed using the documentary method: “Achievement-Oriented Studying”, “Application-Oriented Studying”, “Experience-Oriented Studying” and “Cognition-Oriented Studying”. The typology enables lecturers to enter reflection processes with the student teachers about their orientations. Recommendations on organizing and structuring comparable seminars are provided.

description: We investigate the interaction of a moving BEC with a far detuned laser beam. Superradiant Rayleigh scattering arises from the spontaneous formation of a matter-wave grating due to the interference of two wavepackets with different momenta. The system is described by the CARL-BEC model which is a generalization of the Gross-Pitaevskii model to include the self-consistent evolution of the scattered field. The experiment gives evidence of a damping of the matter-wave grating which depends on the initial velocity of the condensate. We describe this damping in terms of a phase-diffusion decoherence process, in good agreement with the experimental results.

description: The ultra-precise photometric space satellite MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of STars) will provide the first opportunity to measure the albedos and scattered light curves from known short-period extrasolar planets. Due to the changing phases of an extrasolar planet as it orbits its parent star, the combined light of the planet-star system will vary on the order of tens of micromagnitudes. The amplitude and shape of the resulting light curve is sensitive to the planet's radius and orbital inclination, as well as the composition and size distribution of the scattering particles in the planet's atmosphere. To predict the capabilities of MOST and other planned space missions, we have constructed a series of models of such light curves, improving upon earlier work by incorporating more realistic details such as: limb darkening of the star, intrinsic granulation noise in the star itself, tidal distortion and back-heating, higher angular resolution of the light scattering from the planet, and exploration of the significance of the angular size of the star as seen from the planet. We use photometric performance simulations of the MOST satellite, with the light curve models as inputs, for one of the mission's primary targets, $τ$ Boötis. These simulations demonstrate that, even adopting a very conservative signal detection limit of 4.2 $μ$mag in amplitude (not power), we will be able to either detect the $τ$ Boötis planet light curve or put severe constraints on possible extrasolar planet atmospheric models.

description: This study uses a unique dataset to examine parental influence on children’s dietary intake and whether or not the children will become obese. The study shows that household income, parents’ time spent with children, and parents’ work experiences significantly affect children’s energy and fat intake and obesity-related outcomes. For example, the more time mothers spent with their children, the lower the children’s Body Mass Index (BMI) was. On the other hand, the more time fathers spent with their children, the higher the children’s BMI was. And the more time both fathers and mothers spent with their children, the higher their children’s fat intake (as a percentage of energy) was. In general, mothers tended to have a greater effect on their children’s dietary intake than fathers did. Both parents seemed to influence children ages 9-11 more than they did children ages 13-15.

Έρευνες δείχνουν ότι πληθώρα θεραπευτικών παρεμβάσεων έχουν αναπτυχθεί με στόχο την μείωση του φαινομένου και τη θεραπεία των εξαρτημένων ατόμων, ωστόσο η ύπαρξη ιδιαίτερων και πιο επιβαρυμένων περιστατικών χρήσης και κατάχρησης μέσα στον γενικό πληθυσμό των χρηστών καθιστά αναγκαία την εδραίωση εναλλακτικών πιο ουσιαστικών προγραμμάτων που θα ανταποκρίνονται άμεσα στις επιβλαβείς συνέπειες από τη χρήση ουσιών, όπως είναι τα προγράμματα μείωσης της βλάβης. Η παρούσα εργασία αναλύει αυτά τα προγράμματα μείωσης της βλάβης που έχουν αναπτυχθεί σε Ευρώπη και Αμερική, ενώ το ερευνητικό μέρος επικεντρώνεται σε ένα από τα πρωταρχικά μέτρα μείωσης βλάβης, τη «δουλειά στο δρόμο» και αποπειράται να διερευνήσει μέσα από την οπτική των εργαζομένων τόσο την ικανοποίηση των εξαρτημένων χρηστών ηρωίνης από τις δράσεις και τις παρεχόμενες υπηρεσίες, όσο και την εμπειρία των ίδιων των υπαλλήλων στο συγκεκριμένο πρόγραμμα μείωσης βλάβης.

description: It is undeniable that substance abuse and addiction is a major global issue that has spread significantly in recent years. Research shows that a variety of therapeutic interventions have been developed with the aim of reducing the phenomenon and treating addicts, however the existence of special and more severe cases of use and abuse within the general population of users makes it necessary to establish more effective programs that respond immediately harmful effects of substance use, such as harm reduction programs. The present work analyzes these harm reduction programs developed in Europe and USA, while the research part focuses on one of the primary harm reduction measures, "road work" and attempts to investigate through the eyes of employees both the satisfaction of heroin addicts by the service provided, as well as the experience of the employees themselves in the specific harm reduction program. The research took place in the form of a semi-structured interview and the data were analyzed through thematic analysis.

description: We present our ALMA Band 8 observations of a damped Ly$α$ absorption (DLA) system at $z$=3.150 observed in the spectrum of the quasar Q2233+131 at $z$=3.295. The optical counterpart of this DLA has been identified and it shows a double-peaked Ly$α$ emission line. Since one possible origin of DLAs at high redshift is an outflowing gas from star-forming galaxies, DLA2233+131 provides a good laboratory to investigate the nature of high-$z$ DLAs. Motivated by this, we have carried out ALMA band 8 observations to study the [C II] line in this system. However, we do not detect any significant emission line in the observed pass bands. Instead, we have serendipitously found three submm continuum sources in the observed sky area. One appears to be the quasar Q2233+131 itself while the other two sources are newly identified submm galaxies (SMGs), called SMG1 and SMG2 in this paper. They are located at a separation of 400.7 and 800.1 from Q2233+131, respectively. Their 646 $μ$m fluxes are 6.35 mJy and 6.43 mJy, respectively, being higher than that of Q2233+131, 3.62 mJy. Since these two SMGs are not detected in the optical images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope and the Subaru Telescope, they have a very red spectral energy distribution. It is, therefore,suggested that they are high-redshift galaxies or very dusty galaxies at intermediate redshift although we cannot rule out the possibility that they are optically very faint SMG analogs at low redshift. Follow up observations will be necessary to explore the nature of this interesting region.

The project uses information technology to collect high-quality data while decreasing respondent and investigator burden and lowering costs of collecting and analyzing evaluation data. Seven data collection instruments were developed: Five collect information from school personnel, one collects information from students, and the seventh is an on-site observation of the school environment. The instruments are being pilot-tested in one State, but because Team Nutrition is a national initiative, the methodology could be useful to other States.

Migliaia di persone hanno attraversato i confini e un numero imprecisato di giovani donne – e bambini – hanno subito la tratta e sono stati costretti a prostituirsi nell'Europa centrale e occidentale. I politici e i legislatori europei si sono presto resi conto che il continente stava affrontando una nuova forma di schiavitù e che nuove misure dovevano essere prontamente prese per affrontare questo fenomeno. Oggi i risultati sono ancora lontani dall'essere omogenei: ogni paese ha le proprie norme e le vittime lottano per trovare la via d'uscita.

Το αν θα μιλήσουμε για τον «θάνατο» της δημοσιογραφίας ή την μετάβασή της σε μια νέα εποχή, μέσα από μια δυναμική διαδικασία εξέλιξης, θα εξαρτηθεί από τον τρόπο που τα μέσα και οι δημοσιογράφοι θα διεκδικήσουν να κρατήσουν έναν σημαντικό ρόλο στη δημόσια σφαίρα. Με δεδομένο το γεγονός ότι τα παραδοσιακά μέσα δεν αποτελούν πια το επίκεντρο της ενημέρωσης και της πληροφορίας, αλλά και την παραδοχή ότι το μέλλον βρίσκεται στις κινητές συσκευές, αφού πλέον το περιεχόμενο διαχέεται σε διάφορες οθόνες και γίνεται κομμάτι μιας διαδραστικής εμπειρίας, ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον παρουσιάζει να εξετάσουμε το πως μπορεί να γίνει αυτή η μετάβαση.

description: Journalism is going through its own valley of tears (valle lacrimarum), facing low public trust (Reuters Digital News Report, 2021) and constant changes in the field of communication technology. Whether we talk about the "death" of journalism or its transition to a new era, through a dynamic process of evolution, will depend on how the media and journalists claim to hold an important role in the public sphere. Given the fact that traditional media are no longer the key news provider, but also the assumption that the future lies in mobile devices, since content is now diffused on various screens and becomes part of an interactive experience, it is particularly interesting to consider how this transition can be made. The purpose of this dissertation is to combine the principles and long tradition of new journalism with the opportunities provided by multimedia journalism, creating an original multimedia project with the characteristics of a long form story. The dissertation seeks to attempt a marriage of theory and practice in the specific field, contributing at the same time to the development of existing knowledge in the field of journalism and at the same time offering a working model, which can be reproduced by other colleagues.

description: Using a set of 73 numerically simulated galaxy clusters, we have characterised the statistical and physical biases for three velocity dispersion and mass estimators, namely biweight, gapper and standard deviation, in the small number of galaxies regime ($N_{gal} \leq 75$), both for the determination of the velocity dispersion and the dynamical mass of the clusters via the $σ-M$ relation. These results are used to define a new set of unbiased estimators, that are able to correct for those statistical biases. By applying these new estimators to a subset of simulated observations, we show that they can retrieve bias-corrected values for both the mean velocity dispersion and the mean mass.

description: A world dairy model is employed to assess the economic effects of further trade liberalization on U.S. dairy markets. The model incorporates both vertical and spatial characteristics of dairy sectors. Among the vertical characteristics is accounting for farm milk components (fat, casein, whey protein, and lactose) in the production of many different dairy products. Important spatial aspects include the distribution of milk production and the demand for and trade of dairy products. This report examines multilateral domestic and trade policy changes to assess how U.S. farm milk prices and production, consumer and producer surpluses, and U.S. Government revenues and dairy program expenditures respond. Empirical results from the model indicate generally modest price and production effects on U.S. milk producers when multilateral liberalization is assumed.

description: In this manuscript we characterize the completeness of a normed space through the strong lacunary (N-theta) and lacunary statistical convergence (S-theta) of series. A new characterization of weakly unconditionally Cauchy series through N-theta and S-theta is obtained. We also relate the summability spaces associated with these summabilities with the strong p-Cesaro convergence summability space.

description: This study examines data from a survey of families in South Carolina who left the Food Stamp Program (FSP) between 1998 and 2000. We combined the survey data with earnings data and subsequent food stamp receipt to investigate personal and family characteristics associated with three types of well-being outcomes: food hardships, other adverse events, and subjective assessments of life changes. Study results show that families with rising incomes are less likely than families with lower incomes to experience food hardships or other adverse events or to have a negative view about life changes. Families who return to the FSP are more likely to experience food hardships and other adverse events but are less likely to have a negative view about life changes than families who remain out of the program.
Comment on Quark Masses in SCET

description: Quark masses are included in the SCET Lagrangian. Treating the strange quark mass as order Lambda_{QCD}, we find that strange quark mass terms are suppressed in SCET1, but are leading order in SCET2. This is relevant for B decays to K^* and K. Strange quark mass effects in semileptonic and weak radiative form factors are studied. They give corrections to the form factors that are not suppressed by powers of the bottom quark mass, or, equivalently, by the large recoil energy of the final state meson, and and preserve the heavy to light form factor relations that follow from using the leading order current.

description: Scientific publishing seems to be at a turning point. Its paradigm has stayed basically the same for 300 years but is now challenged by the increasing volume of articles that makes it very hard for scientists to stay up to date in their respective fields. In fact, many have pointed out serious flaws of current scientific publishing practices, including the lack of accuracy and efficiency of the reviewing process. To address some of these problems, we apply here the general principles of the Web and the Semantic Web to scientific publishing, focusing on the reviewing process. We want to determine if a fine-grained model of the scientific publishing workflow can help us make the reviewing processes better organized and more accurate, by ensuring that review comments are created with formal links and semantics from the start. Our contributions include a novel model called Linkflows that allows for such detailed and semantically rich representations of reviews and the reviewing processes. We evaluate our approach on a manually curated dataset from several recent Computer Science journals and conferences that come with open peer reviews. We gathered ground-truth data by contacting the original reviewers and asking them to categorize their own review comments according to our model. Comparing this ground truth to answers provided by model experts, peers, and automated techniques confirms that our approach of formally capturing the reviewers' intentions from the start prevents substantial discrepancies compared to when this information is later extracted from the plain-text comments. In general, our analysis shows that our model is well understood and easy to apply, and it revealed the semantic properties of such review comments.

Australian Immigration 2001–2013: Exploring attitudes towards asylum seekers and immigrants
Creators: name: Williams, Evan Thomas
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2018

description: This research investigates public attitudes in Australia towards government immigration policy, the effects of immigration on society and support for immigrants. It also examines attitudes towards asylum seekers, by investigating views concerning whether boats carrying asylum seekers should be turned back. In the context of international theories dealing with attitude formation, this study examines the extent to which political affiliation, human capital and economic competition theories apply to the formation of attitudes towards regular immigrants in Australia and to what extent the same theories can be applied to the study of attitudes towards asylum seekers. This research focuses on the period 2001–2013, which saw significant policy change and attention given to migration issues. In the early 2000s, political elites of the two major parties in Australia abandoned the longstanding bipartisan approach to dealing with asylum seekers arriving in the country by boat and adopted different policies. By the time of the federal election in 2013, the two major parties had returned to a largely bipartisan view of how to respond to the arrival of asylum seekers. Such concentrated attention and policy change makes the period especially valuable to studies of migration and social cohesion. Accepting that attitudes towards asylum seekers and other immigrants are multidimensional, this research investigates the role of partisanship, education, socioeconomic and other background factors in relation to attitudes towards both regular migrants and asylum seekers. Recognising the complex role of policy and the language of public debate in both reflecting and instigating public attitudes towards immigration, this study is positioned in the context of existing empirical research addressing the formation of attitudes. My research finds support for the idea that strongly identifying with the political right, and having low levels of interest in politics, are both negatively associated with attitudes towards migrants in Australia. It also reveals a complex relationship between higher education and attitudes, and finds little evidence to suggest that economic considerations are at the core of attitude formation towards migrants in Australia. This research also examines the role of specific knowledge about asylum issues in Australia in relation to attitudes towards asylum seekers, by using a bespoke quiz and survey of university students. The analysis reveals that among the students who hold highly favourable views towards asylum seekers there are many misperceptions about seeking asylum in Australia, a finding which adds to and complicates existing research that shows misperceptions concerning other kinds of migrants are generally correlated with unfavourable views.

description: The effects of dissipation on a holonomic quantum computation scheme are analyzed within the quantum-jump approach. We extend to the non-Abelian case the refocusing strategies formerly introduced for (Abelian) geometric computation. We show how double loop symmetrization schemes allow one to get rid of the unwanted influence of dissipation in the no-jump trajectory.

description: Based on recent developments caused by the big data revolution, data science has massively increased its importance for businesses. Within the marketing context, various types of customer data have become available in enormous amounts and need to be processed as efficiently as possible for creating valuable knowledge. Therefore, data scientists’ performance has become crucial for marketing departments to achieve competitive advantages in the modern highly digitalized economy. Within the raising field of data science, machine learning has become an outstanding trend since these approaches are able to automatically solve numerous classification and prediction problems with enormous performance. Thus, machine learning is seen as a key technology which will radically transform business practice in the future. Even though machine learning has already been applied to various marketing tasks, research is still at an early stage requiring further investigations of how marketing can successfully benefit from machine learning applications. Besides these data-driven opportunities provided by digitalization, technostress has evolved into an enormous downside of digitalized workplaces, leading to a significant decrease in employees’ performance. However, existing research lacks to provide evidence about different coping strategies and their potential to support employees in overcoming technostress. Furthermore, research currently fails to consider technostress regarding both highly digitalized occupational groups like data scientists and respective workplace environments for providing a deeper understanding of how employees suffer from stress caused by the use of digital technologies. Due to these recent challenges for data scientists, this cumulative thesis provides useful insights and new opportunities by focusing on machine learning and technostress issues as two aspects which promise major potentials for enhancing data scientists’ performance in today’s marketing contexts. Five research papers are included for effectively tackling both fields of research: three papers deliver both methodological and empirical findings for extending machine learning in marketing research by examining model architectures as well as applying machine learning to recent marketing problems. In addition, two research papers contribute to research by providing knowledge about technostress issues of data scientists as a heterogeneous and highly digitalized occupational group as well as examining different coping strategies for effectively overcoming stress due to the use of digital technologies. Beyond that, the findings deliver practical implications for marketing managers who aim to improve the performance of data scientists in a contemporary marketing environment.
