description: Museum controversies compromise public access and appreciation of art as well as jeopardize arts funding. For this reason it is imperative that museum professionals develop comprehensive systems to manage and combat censorship disputes. The American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom has developed a model with framework and strategies proven to support professionals during censorship debates. The library model, if applied to academic museums and galleries would allow for a systematic straightforward approach in preparing, defending and promoting intellectual freedom and artistic expression in academic museums.
Equation of motion for relativistic compact binaries with the strong field point particle limit: Third post-Newtonian order

description: An equation of motion for relativistic compact binaries is derived through the third post-Newtonian (3 PN) approximation of general relativity. The strong field point particle limit and multipole expansion of the stars are used to solve iteratively the harmonically relaxed Einstein equations. We take into account the Lorentz contraction on the multipole moments defined in our previous works. We then derive a 3 PN acceleration of the binary orbital motion of the two spherical compact stars based on a surface integral approach which is a direct consequence of local energy momentum conservation. Our resulting equation of motion admits a conserved energy (neglecting the 2.5 PN radiation reaction effect), is Lorentz invariant and is unambiguous: there exist no undetermined parameter reported in the previous works. We shall show that our 3 PN equation of motion agrees physically with the Blanchet and Faye 3 PN equation of motion if $λ= - 1987/3080$, where $λ$ is the parameter which is undetermined within their framework. This value of $λ$ is consistent with the result of Damour, Jaranowski, and Schäfer who first completed a 3 PN iteration of the ADM Hamiltonian in the ADMTT gauge using the dimensional regularization.

description: With the booming economy in China, many researches have pointed out that the improvement of regional transportation infrastructure among other factors had an important effect on economic growth. Utilizing a large-scale dataset which includes 3.5 billion entry and exit records of vehicles along highways generated from toll collection systems, we attempt to establish the relevance of mid-distance land transport patterns to regional economic status through transportation network analyses. We apply standard measurements of complex networks to analyze the highway transportation networks. A set of traffic flow features are computed and correlated to the regional economic development indicator. The multi-linear regression models explain about 89% to 96% of the variation of cities' GDP across three provinces in China. We then fit gravity models using annual traffic volumes of cars, buses, and freight trucks between pairs of cities for each province separately as well as for the whole dataset. We find the temporal changes of distance-decay effects on spatial interactions between cities in transportation networks, which link to the economic development patterns of each province. We conclude that transportation big data reveal the status of regional economic development and contain valuable information of human mobility, production linkages, and logistics for regional management and planning. Our research offers insights into the investigation of regional economic development status using highway transportation big data.

Model repair and editing tools

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: With the declining production cost and improvement of scanning technology, three-dimensional model acquisition systems are rapidly becoming more affordable. At the same time, personal computers with graphics hardware capable of displaying complex 3D models have become inexpensive enough to be available to a large population. As a result, there is, potentially, an opportunity to consider new virtual reality uses from areas as diverse as cultural heritage exploration and retail sales applications that will allow people to view associated large classes of realistic 3D objects on home computers and media devices. Although there are many physical techniques for acquiring 3D data, including laser scanners, CT or MRI scans, the basic pipeline of operations (Figure 1.1) lacks a sufficient set of tools to take the acquired data and produce a usable 3D model. This dissertation proposes a set of efficient and robust 3D data reconstruction and editing tools for such a pipeline. We look at the fundamental problems of range scan data completion, modeling, and parameterization. We propose a new cross-parameterization method for efficient calculation of a low-distortion bijective mapping between models. Recent research in digital geometry processing suggests multiple new applications for such a mapping, including pair-wise model editing [11] transferring texture and surface properties (BRDFs, normal maps, etc) [61], and fitting template meshes to multiple data sets [7, 55]. We also extend our cross-parameterization technique to support models with gaps and holes. This allows us to develop a new and robust method for template-based range scan data completion. One of the most significant obstacles in computer graphics is providing easy-to-use tools for creating and editing detailed 3D models. To this end, we present a new set of tools with which non-expert user can create detailed geometric models quickly and easily. In particular, we propose a new modeling system for creating new, original models by mixing and matching parts of pre-existing models. In this way, we eliminate the need for a user to perform complex geometric operations, and thereby reduce the modeling process to that of part selection. This dissertation also proposes a new technique for image-based modeling that allows a user to easily transform a sketch or picture into a 3D model using a 3D template model. The 3D template provides the geometric detail that cannot be inferred from an image alone. This allows the user to create detailed geometric models from pictures alone. We also introduce a real-time editing algorithm that allows the creation of new models through the deformation of existing ones. Our proposed editing algorithm has applications in such common geometric operations as mesh deformation, morphing, and blending. Thus, we propose contributions to the model repair and editing pipeline that simplifies the task of creating and repairing detailed 3D models.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We consider the only one known class of non-Kähler irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds, described in the works of D. Guan and the first author. Any such manifold $Q$ of dimension $2n-2$ is obtained as a finite degree $n^2$ cover of some non-Kähler manifold $W_F$ which we call the base of $Q$. We show that the algebraic reduction of $Q$ and its base is the projective space of dimension $n-1$. Besides, we give a partial classification of submanifolds in $Q$, describe the degeneracy locus of its algebraic reduction, and prove that the automorphism group of $Q$ satisfies the Jordan property.

description: Phototrophic microorganisms have an important role in the survival, maintenance and restoration of natural ecosystems and environments, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. In this study, soil samples of Khabr National Park located in Kerman Province of Iran, were cultured onto Bold’s Basal Medium (BBM) and Blue-Green Medium (BG11). First, the isolated cyanobacteria and microalgae were purified. Following the morphological identification, molecular identifications were carried out. For this reason, genomic DNAs were extracted from the purified cultures and PCR amplification of 16s rRNA gene of cyanobacterial isolates and 18s rRNA gene of algal isolates were done. Phylogenetic relationships between these isolates sequences and the sequences retrieved from GenBank were analyzed. The results showed that cyanobacterial isolates belonged to five genera Trichocoleus, Leptolyngbya, Fischerella, Chroococcidiopsis and Stanieria . Furthermore, the green algae belonging to genera Chlorosarcinopsis, Myrmecia and Bracteacoccus were isolated from Khabr National Park. This study is a first report on isolating some phototrophs from a semi-arid ecosystem of Iran.

Investment in Education in Costa Rica: A Ladder out of Poverty?
Creators: name: Obando-Hernández, Alejandra M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to answer the question of what has prevented many Costa Rican parents from investing in their children's education to a level that will allow them to rise out of poverty. Research conducted here relies mainly on the 2005 Costa Rican official household survey. The first empirical analysis conducted, based on Lars Ljungqvist's model of convexity in the monetary private returns to education when credit markets for education are missing, demonstrates that the convexity of returns plays a key role in unskilled Costa Rican parents' low expectations regarding future benefits of their children's education and therefore in their decision to not invest in their education. Returns to education are convex and increase sharply only after secondary education has been completed, for all sectors, for all regions and for men and women. The second empirical analysis, of the relationship between demand for schooling and returns to education, shows that the convexity of returns influences the demand for schooling differently depending on whether or not parents are liquidity constrained, which in turn depends on whether they are either both unskilled or both skilled, respectively. Unskilled parents are not responsive to increases in the returns to skilled labor and when the returns to unskilled labor increase, i.e. the type of labor these parents themselves provide, they are less likely, compared to skilled parents, to increase the demand for schooling. Hence, these unskilled labor parents trade off their children's investment in education, their future wealth, for the current consumption needs of their families. On the other hand, skilled parents, in contrast with those who are not, settle for a different and more successful livelihood strategy, responding to the returns to education, either skilled or unskilled, by investing in the education of their children. Two types of citizens are being clearly created: those educated and those uneducated, a process that, if it continues like this, will be difficult to reverse. Policy recommendations include the establishment of an educational subsidy focused on secondary education, and increase the employment opportunities and earnings of the unskilled workers.

description: This paper focuses on a new model to reach the existence of equilibrium in a pure exchange economy with fuzzy preferences (PXE-FP). The proposed model integrates exchange, consumption and the agent's fuzzy preference in the consumption set. We set up a new fuzzy binary relation on the consumption set to evaluate the fuzzy preferences. Also, we prove that there exists a continuous fuzzy order-preserving function in the consumption set under certain conditions. The existence of a fuzzy competitive equilibrium for the PXE-FP is confirmed through a new result on the existence of fuzzy Nash equilibrium for fuzzy non-cooperative games. The payoffs of all strategy profiles for any agent are fuzzy numbers in fuzzy non-cooperative games. Finally, we show that the fuzzy competitive equilibrium could be characterized as a solution to an associated quasi-variational inequality, giving rise to an equilibrium solution.

description: In this paper, we study an exactly solvable model of IIB superstring in a time-dependent plane-wave backgound with a constant self-dual Ramond-Ramond 5-form field strength and a linear dilaton in the light-like direction. This background keeps sixteen supersymmetries. In the light-cone gauge, the action is described by the two-dimensional free bosons and fermions with time-dependent masses. The model could be canonically quantized and its Hamiltonian is time-dependent with vanishing zero point energy. The spectrum of the excitations is symmetric between the bosonic and fermionic sector. The string mode creation turns out to be very small.

description: The feasibility of using imported propagules of Giant Cavendish Banana for field production is described. Best yield of 28.2 t ha-1 or 245, 070 fruits ha-1 in the plant were obtained with chicken manure at 3.5kg plant-1 without any nematicide. In the 1st Ratoon crop overall production was better with a maximum yield of 37.1 t ha-1 or 272,181 fruits ha-1 in plots treated with chicken manure and Ternik 10%G at 84g plant-1. Use of tissue culture material apparently did not increase crop production time with plants requiring 285 days from planting to flowering and an additional 75 days to harvesting. Both vegetative and fruiting characteristics of plants were very uniform with no apparent variability. Soil assays showed significant absence of the burrowing nematode and yield data indicated that nematicide application may not be required until the first ratoon crop. In comparison with plants produced from traditional suckers, tissue cultured plants had thicker pseudostems more leaves and produced heavier bunches (16kg vs. 12kg) with more fruits per bunch (127 vs. 101). ----- Se describe la viabilidad de la utilizacid'n de propagulos irnportados de banano del tipo Giant Cavendish para la produccidn de campo.

title: Organisations as complex adaptive systems : implications for the design of information systems
Creators: name: Prasad, Kumkum
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: Today a paradigm shift in the field of organisation and management theories is no longer disputed and the need to switch from the Command-and-Control to the Leaming Organisation Paradigm (LOP) in the area of organisational theory is well understood. However, it is less well appreciated that learning organisations cannot operate effectively if supported by centralised databases and tailor-made application programs. LOP emphasises adaptability, flexibility, participation and learning. It is important to understand that the changes in organisational and management strategies will not on their own be able to produce the desired effects unless they are supported by appropriate changes in organisational culture, and by effective information systems. This research demonstrates that conventional information system strategies and development methods are no longer adequate. Information system strategies must respond to these needs of the LOP and incorporate new information systems that are capable of evolving, adapting and responding to the constantly changing business environment. The desired adaptability, flexibility and agility in information systems for LOP can be achieved by exploiting the technologies of the Internet, World Wide Web, intelligent agents and intranets. This research establishes that there is a need for synergy between organisational structures and organisational information systems. To obtain this desired synergy it is essential that new information systems be designed as an integral part of the learning organisational structure itself. Complexity theory provides a new set of metaphors and a host of concepts for the understanding of organisations as complex adaptive systems. This research introduces the principles of Complex Adaptive Systems and draws on their significance for designing the information systems needed to support the new generation of learning organisations. The search for new models of information system strategies for today's dynamic world of business points to the 'swarm models' observed in Nature.

description: Routine activities theory posits that for a crime to occur, there needs to be the convergence of a willing offender, a suitable target and the lack of a capable guardian (Cohen & Felson, 1979).

Recent research indicates that increasing the capable guardianship of fellow students through bystander intervention education may be a promising way to utilize informal social control to prevent crimes against women on campus (Banyard, 2008; Coker et al., 2011).This study reports on the findings of a mixed-methods cross-sectional survey conducted by the author in spring, 2011. A random sample of undergraduate students enrolled in a small private university in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States was invited to complete an Internet-administered survey. The survey included both closed-ended and open-ended questions. A response rate of 56% was achieved. Structural equation modeling was used to answer the first research question, "What predicts whether a bystander will intervene?" Bivariate probit regression was used to answer the second research question, "Are the correlates of intervening in dating violence situations different from those associated with intervening in sexual violence situations?" The third research question, "What actions do respondents report undertaking and which actions do they believe are most successful or least successful?" was answered based on a content analysis of responses to three open-ended questions.The findings of this study demonstrate that there are different factors that predict whether a bystander will intervene based on the timing of an intervention (proactive vs. reactive), the type of situation (violence-related or alcohol-related) and the type of crime (intimate partner violence vs. non-intimate partner sexual violence). In addition, there is a spectrum of beliefs about what strategies are successful to prevent sexual and intimate partner violence ranging from individualism (personal responsibility and avoidance), to interpersonal responsibility (one-on-one communication; buddy system at parties), to community-wide responsibility (i.e., education, advocacy and activism). Finally, the results from the quantitative measure of rape myths acceptance were contradicted by the responses to the open-ended questions. Implications for future research, policy and practice are discussed.

description: With the development of high-speed readout electronics, the digital pulse shape discrimination (PSD) methods have attracted the attention of more researchers, especially in the field of high energy physics and neutron detection. How to choose a PSD algorithm and corresponding data acquisition system (DAQ) naturally becomes a critical problem to settle down for the detection system designers. In this paper, the relationship between the classification performance of different PSD algorithms and digitizers' sampling properties (including sampling rate and the effective number of bits) has been researched based on $\mathrm{LaBr_3}$:Ce scintillation detectors. A self-developed integrated digitizer configured with five different ADCs and a WavePro 404HD oscilloscope were deployed to digitize the waveforms from $\mathrm{LaBr_3}$:Ce scintillators. Moreover, three PSD methods, charge comparison method (CCM), least square for classification method (LS) and Fisher's linear discriminant analysis (LDA), based on linear model were applied to discriminate the alpha signals from the intrinsic isotope $^{227}$Ac. With the LS method and a 125 MSPS 14-Bit ADC, the FoM value was 1.424$\pm$0.042, which is similar to the result from LDA but 31\% better than the result of CCM. The discrimination results showed that the performances of LS and LDA are less affected by the sampling rate with respect to the CCM method, which reflects in a better PSD capability. The results of this paper can help the developers of detector systems to make a trade-off among sampling properties, desirable discrimination results and the cost of systems.

The meaning of intimacy for men who are gay
Creators: name: Loran, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Intimacy has been cited as primary psychological need by many psychologists, including Rogers, Maslow, and Erikson. Others claim intimate relationships provide benefits for both the mind and body. Despite its importance, there continues to be disagreement as to how intimacy should be defined. Research suggests that the meaning of intimacy may vary according to the type of relationship involved or the gender, age, or cultural identity of the referent. Yet there exists almost no literature attempting to understand the meaning of intimacy for men who are gay. As gay relationships become more open and accepted, practitioners will find themselves dealing with questions of intimacy between men who are gay. In order to better serve the clients, it will be important to have a common reference point. This phenomenological study serves to advance the field by asking men who are gay to define intimacy using their own long-term relationship as a reference point. After interviewing men who are gay in Vancouver, Canada, the author conducted an analysis of the interviews and categories and themes were developed to help explain what intimacy means to men who are gay. These themes include the development of intimacy as a process, togetherness, openness, perceptions of commonalities between partners, the need for individuation and time spent apart, growth within oneself and growth within the relationship, effort required to develop and maintain intimacy, commitment, support, the role of emotions in intimacy, physical demonstrations of intimacy, sexuality, the varying levels and forms of intimacy, the influence of role models, and the need to overcome challenges in developing intimate relationships. Following a discussion of the themes, the essential structure of intimacy for men who are gay is presented. In addition, the relevance of these findings to previous research is discussed and recommendations to researchers and practitioners are offered.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Thermostability of root cell membranes of excised roots of 'Grande Naine' banana, 'Carrizo' citrange, Ixora coccinea and Dracaena marginata 'Tricolor' were determined utilizing electrolyte leakage techniques. Mathematical models were developed to predict interaction of temperature (25 to 60 C) and exposure time (30 to 300 min.) on root membrance injury. Predicted critical exposure durations at 50 C were 45, 105, 221 and 221 min. for citrus, banana, ixora and dracaena, respectively. The physiological response to root temperature of 28°, 34° and 40°C for 6 hours daily differed with plant genera, although 34°C appeared to be the optimum or maximum allowable temperature in this study. Shoot to root ratio was highest at the 40 °c root temperature for ixora, citrus and dracaena and was the lowest at 40°C for banana. ----- La termostabilidad de membranas de celulas radiculares de raices cortados de banano 'Grande Naine', citrange 'Carrizo', Ixora coccinee y Dracaena marginata 'Tricolor' fue determinado usando tecinas de goteo electrolirico.

Crossover from Diffusive to Superfluid Transport in Frustrated Magnets

description: We investigate the spin transport across the magnetic phase diagram of a frustrated antiferromagnetic insulator and uncover a drastic modification of the transport regime from spin diffusion to spin superfluidity. Adopting a triangular lattice accounting for both nearest neighbor and next-nearest neighbor exchange interactions with easy-plane anisotropy, we perform atomistic spin simulations on a two-terminal configuration across the full magnetic phase diagram. We found that as long as the ground state magnetic moments remain in-plane, irrespective of whether the magnetic configuration is ferromagnetic, collinear or non-collinear antiferromagnetic, the system exhibits spin superfluid behavior with a device output that is independent on the value of the exchange interactions. When the magnetic frustration is large enough to compete with the easy-plane anisotropy and cant the magnetic moments out of the plane, the spin transport progressively evolves towards the diffusive regime. The robustness of spin superfluidity close to magnetic phase boundaries is investigated and we uncover the possibility for {\em proximate} spin superfluidity close to the ferromagnetic transition.

Allah in Valhalla: A Prismatic Inquiry into Sweden's Anti-Muslim Movement
Creators: name: Pearce, Elizabeth Shannon
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Violence and discrimination against Muslims and immigrants from countries with a Muslim majority is a pervasive problem that is becoming entrenched in Western societies. Sweden, often considered a bastion of peace and tolerance, is experiencing the escalation of violence against these populations coupled with a growing movement to institutionalize anti-Muslim sentiments through government policy. This study explores literatures across disciplines and perspectives across cleavages to analyze the issues and processes that contribute to violence and those that promote the peaceful resolution of Sweden's conflict. Using a combination of methodological approaches, interviews were conducted with relevant actors to bolster the analysis by exploring the sources and drivers of conflict as individuals within the conflict context conceive them. Analysis of relevant government policies and programming is also included, with a conclusion that recommends enhancing the incorporation of established theories from the field of peace and conflict resolution in policy and social programs.

title: Explaining women's employment under the Islamic state in Iran. Women, work and Islamism; ideology and resistance.
Creators: name: Poya, Maryam
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This study examines women's employment in Iran between 1979-1997, analysing the changing position of the Islamic state in reaction to economic circumstances and women's responses. In making this assessment the interaction between economic circumstances, the institutionalisation of gender inequality and also the responses of women are examined. This study demonstrates that economic forces and women's struggle for change undermined the Islamic state's gender relations. The Islamisation of state and society which followed the 1979 revolution involved an attempt by the Islamic state to seclude women within the home in accordance with the state's gender and employment policy and practices. The power of the state to transform gender relations, however, was constrained by the Iran - Iraq war, as the survival of many families depended on women's earnings. The end of the war with Iraq and the return of men to the workforce did not result in women's return to the home. Economic reconstruction and inflation increased women's participation in the workforce. This study demonstrates that in 1997, women's participation in the labour force, despite a rigid sexual division of labour imposed ideologically by the Islamic state is no less than it was in pre-1979. However, the state continued to strengthen patriarchal relationships within the home, employment and wider society, thus maintaining that women's participation in the workforce is by nature temporary and that ultimately a woman's place is in the home. Women of different classes and with different levels of religiosity responded to the economic circumstances and the state's gender ideology. Their participation in the political movements and their active role in the economy has raised gender consciousness. The result is an alliance between religious and secular women in urban areas who have demanded reforms and forced the Islamic state to return to the position of the reforms of pre-1979 in relation to women and the family, and women's education and employment.
