title: The Effect of Dyad Interaction and Marital Adjustment on Cognitive Performance in Everyday Logical Problem Solving
Creators: name: Rogers, Donna R. B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: The theory of formal operations as a final stage of adult development has come under criticism for various reasons, primarily the overemphasis on logical thought processes which are based on invariant and absolute rules within a closed system. Everyday problems, in contrast, are typically "open-ended" and are defined by the context in which they are embedded.
The purpose of this study was to investigate cognitive behaviors that occurred between two individuals as they cooperatively worked together to solve logical problems. Of interest were the effects of marital adjustment on cognitive performance, the relation between social behaviors, marital adjustment, and cognition, and the influence of familiar versus a stranger dyadic problem-solving setting on cognitive behaviors. It was hypothesized that well adjusted married and stranger dyads would not only demonstrate mastery of problem-solving tasks at the formal operational level, but would also demonstrate more relativistic and/or dialectical problem solving, and more facilitative social behaviors, than poorly adjusted married and stranger dyads.
Forty couples between the ages of 35 and 50, who had been married between five and thirty years, were prescreened for verbal intelligence and marital adjustment. They were then randomly assigned to participate in one of four dyadic settings, that is, maritally well versus poorly adjusted couples solving problems in either married or unmarried/stranger dyads. Dyads were administered five formal operational problems. Two of the five were formal logical, or mathematical in nature, while three problems contained both mathematical and interpersonal, or social elements. Each dyad was videotaped during the problem-solving process, beginning with the instructions. Participant averaged about 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete five problems.
Analyses of variance were performed on marital adjustment and dyadic setting as related to formal and relativistic cognitions. There were no marital adjustment or dyadic setting differences in overall ability to use formal operations. However, maritally well adjusted stranger and married dyads evidenced significantly more relativistic cognitions, particularly on problems involving a social/everyday element, than poorly adjusted married and stranger dyads. These differences also held constant across each of three increasingly complex levels of relativistic behaviors. Multivariate analyses were performed on four separate social behavior scales as related to formal and relativistic cognitions, as well as marital adjustment and dyadic setting groups. Again, formal operations did not distinguish between the differing social behaviors; however, the social behavior scales, particularly avoidant versus cooperative behaviors, were strongly related to marital adjustment and relativistic thinking.

description: We carried out an unbiased, spectroscopic survey using the low-resolution module of the infrared spectrograph (IRS) on board Spitzer targeting two 2.6 square arcminute regions in the GOODS-North field. IRS was used in spectral mapping mode with 5 hours of effective integration time per pixel. One region was covered between 14 and 21 microns and the other between 20 and 35 microns. We extracted spectra for 45 sources. About 84% of the sources have reported detections by GOODS at 24 microns, with a median F_nu(24um) ~ 100 uJy. All but one source are detected in all four IRAC bands, 3.6 to 8 microns. We use a new cross-correlation technique to measure redshifts and estimate IRS spectral types; this was successful for ~60% of the spectra. Fourteen sources show significant PAH emission, four mostly SiO absorption, eight present mixed spectral signatures (low PAH and/or SiO) and two show a single line in emission. For the remaining 17, no spectral features were detected. Redshifts range from z ~ 0.2 to z ~ 2.2, with a median of 1. IR Luminosities are roughly estimated from 24 microns flux densities, and have median values of 2.2 x 10^{11} L_{\odot} and 7.5 x 10^{11} L_{\odot} at z ~ 1 and z ~ 2 respectively. This sample has fewer AGN than previous faint samples observed with IRS, which we attribute to the fainter luminosities reached here.

title: The Impact of Psychosocial Variables on Immune System Functioning in a Sample of HIV-Positive Males
Creators: name: Richey, Gary K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: This study addressed the issue of the relationship between psychological well-being and immune function in a sample of HIV seropositive homosexual and bisexual males. A control group of HIV seronegative gay males was included. The study assessed the relationship between various psychological independent variables and immune system functioning over a 24-month time period for the seropositive subjects. Data on depression, coping style, psychosocial stress, and psychomatic symptoms were collected at baseline, as well as data on depression at 12 months and CD4 counts at 6-month intervals over a 2-year period. Preliminary analyses comparing HIV seropositive to HIV seronegative subjects showed differences on four of eight coping style scales, as well as on all of the psychogenic attitudes scales reflecting stress levels.
There were no effects of eight coping styles on immune system functioning for the seropositives. However, there were significant relationships among four of six psychogenic attitudes scales (chronic tension, premorbid pessimism, future despair, and somatic anxiety) and immune system functioning for the seropositives. There were also significant effects of three scales measuring psychosomatic symptoms (Allergic Inclination, Gastrointestinal Susceptibility, and Cardiovascular Tendency) for the seropositives. However, there was no effect of level of depression on immune system functioning.
The final chapter discusses the findings given the existing body of research. The emphasis is on the need to develop interventions targeting stress levels among persons with AIDS, as well as on conducting further research utilizing carefully constructed longitudinal research designs.
Transformation elasticity in polycrystaline Cu-Zn-Sn alloy

description: A study has been made of the elasticity associated with the martensite transformation in the polycrystalline β-phase alloy of composition Cu-33.6 wt. % Zn-4 wt. % Sn tested at room temperature. The mechanical properties of the material undergoing the stress induced martensite transformation have been examined. These properties are influenced by the elastic anisotropy of the bcc β-phase, the development, preferential distribution and morphology and the mechanical properties of the transformation product. The elastic shape change associated with the elastically accommodated, stress-induced martensitic transformation was always found to be accompanied by some plastic deformation. A relationship between the β-grain size, the sample thickness and the deformation response was observed. Specimens with grains extending through the sample thickness exhibited large reversible strains (∼2.5%), whereas specimens with a much smaller grain size/thickness ratio (<1) exhibited only limited transformation elasticity. The morphology of the thermal martensite and the Ms temperature was also found to be influenced by the ratio grain size/thickness (g.s./t). A lower Ms temperature was associated with a decreasing g.s./t ratio; only self-accommodating burst martensite was observed in very fine grained material. The Af temperature increased with a decreasing g.s./t ratio. Repeated loading (cycling) reduced the hysteresis of the stress strain curve for all g.s./t ratios tested, but was always accompanied by plastic deformation of the matrix and the development of non-reversible deformation martensite. The experimentally determined habit plane for the thermal and the stress induced martensite were in moderate agreement with the planes predicted by the phenomenological martensite theory (W.L.R.) assuming a {110} <1Ī0> microscopic shear.

description: The advent of Web3 technologies promises a paradigm shift toward decentralized and autonomous economic interactions enabled by blockchain and smart contracts. However, the lack of robust trust and reputation mechanisms hinders its evolution into a fully functional economic system. This paper introduces the Dmany Nexus Protocol, a decentralized reputation system that quantifies user trustworthiness through verified on-chain and off-chain actions. By integrating principles from information economics, game theory, and mechanism design, the protocol addresses issues of information asymmetry, moral hazard, and adverse selection inherent in decentralized networks. Leveraging the Dmany Quest Engine for decentralized task management and employing zero-knowledge proofs for privacy preservation, Dmany Nexus establishes a foundation for trust and cooperation in the Web3 ecosystem. The protocol enhances economic efficiency, mitigates security risks like Sybil attacks, and fosters mass adoption by enabling secure, privacy-preserving interactions among pseudonymous actors.

description: Due to their short lifetimes but their enormous energy release in all stages of their lives massive stars are the major engines for the comic matter circuit. They affect not only their close environment but are also responsible to drive mass flows on galactic scales. Recent 2D models of radiation-driven and wind-blown HII regions are summarized which explore the impact of massive stars to the interstellar medium but find surprisingly small energy transfer efficiencies while an observable Carbon self-enrichment in the Wolf-Rayet phase is detected in the warm ionized gas. Finally, the focus is set on state-of-the-art modelling of HII regions and its present weaknesses with respect to uncertainties and simplifications but on a perspective of the requested art of their modelling in the 21st century.

description: The photon mean free path in a relativistically moving medium becomes long in the down-stream direction while short in the up-stream direction. As a result, the observed optical depth $τ$ becomes small in the downstream direction while large in the upstream direction. Hence, if a relativistic spherical wind blows off, the optical depth depends strongly on its speed and the angle between the velocity and the line-of-sight. Abramowicz et al. (1991) examined such a relativistic wind, and found that the shape of the photosphere at $τ=1$ appears convex in the non-relativistic case, but concave for relativistic velocities. We further calculated the temperature distribution and luminosity of the photosphere both in the comoving and inertial frames. We found that the limb-darkening effect would strongly modified in the relativistic regime. We also found that luminosities of the photosphere becomes large as the wind speed increases due to the relativistic effects. In addition, the luminosity in the inertial frame is higher than that in the comoving frame. These results suggest that the observed temperature and brightness in luminous objects may be overestimated when there are strong relativistic winds.

description: The origin of nonproportionality in scintillator materials has been a long standing problem for more than four decades. In this manuscript, we show that, with the help of first principle modeling, the parameterization of the nonproportionality for several systems, with respect to their band structure curvature suggests a correlation between carrier effective mass and energy response. We attribute this correlation to the case where free electrons and holes are the major energy carriers. Excitonic scintillators do not show such a definitive trend. This model suggests a potential high-throughput approach for discovering novel proportional scintillators in the former class of materials.

We present the overall picture of the Tevatron diagnostics development for Run II, outline machine needs for new instrumentation, present several notable examples that led to Tevatron performance improvements, and discuss the lessons for future colliders.
title: An Experimental Study of Techniques to Improve Response Rates of Mail Questionnarie

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: The study examined (a) which single technique (cover letter sponsorship, personalization, anonymity, or appeal) is most effective in increasing response rates with mail questionnaires, and (b) which combination of these selected techniques is most effective in increasing such response rates. Questionnaires concerning faculty evaluation were sent to a national sample of professors.
The present study found that identification of a university as the sponsor of the survey resulted in a significantly higher response rate than that obtained when the survey was sponsored by a private research institute. There was a significant increase in response rates when the cover letter was personalized, as opposed to an unpersonalized form letter. There were no significant differences in response rates attributable to (a) wether respondents were assured anonymity, and (b) the type of appeal used in the cover letter (personal or professional appeal). No significant interactions were found among any of the four techniques investigated. It was concluded from this study that judicious selection of the survey sponsor and use of cover letter personalization can improve the response rates of a mail questionnaire significantly, at least with the type of population and questionnaire significantly, at least with the type of population and questionnaire topic used in this study.

We explore this p-band physics both within the framework of a standard mean-field theory as well as with the more accurate generalized Gutzwiller ansatz. We find the phase diagrams for two- and three-dimensional systems and characterize the first Mott-states in detail. Furthermore, we find that even though the p-band model has strongly anisotropic kinetic energies and inter-flavor interaction terms are missing in the lowest band theory, the mean-field theory becomes useful quite rapidly once the transition from the Mott-insulator to the superfluid is crossed.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: There is no one great \Indian Land Problem\". Rather there are a variety of problems which centre about the owning and working of agricultural land in India. This study is concerned with a portion of one of them: the social aspects of the agrarian problem. That is to say the interest here is in the relations between men which grew around the ownership of landed property. No attention is therefore given directly to the agricultural problem or the economic legal administrative or political aspects of the agrarian problem. They are not completely ignored of course - that would be impossible - but matters such as productivity land use rural debt inheritance laws and fragmentation; consolidation and the political use of the 'land question' are discussed only when they actually intrude into the social sphere. The study is also limited to that part of the north Indian plain which has been successively known since the eighteenth century as Avadh the North-Western Provinces and Oudh the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh and Uttar Pradesh. And even within that area it is limited to the reasonably homogeneous expanse of the Gangetic alluvial plain and leaves aside the politically akin but geographically dissimilar districts of the Himalayan foothills. With regard to names particularly Avadh for Oudh Kanpur for Cawnpore and Banaras for Benares I have conformed to modern Indian practice except where the anglicised version appears in a title or in a quotation."

description: The subject of this postgraduate thesis is to examine the final juridical decision as a registration title of mortgage prenotation. The first chapter of the study presents the meaning of the mortgage prenotation, the main parts of substantial and procedural conditions, which must coexist in order to be established, as well as the registration titles of the prenotation. The second chapter focuses on the final juridical decision which can constitute a registration title of the mortgage prenotation. In particular, the meaning of the final juridical decision is being examined, as well as the type of the final juridical decision that is required, if the decision must be in rem or it is enough to be a decision for declaration, if the decision has to be temporarily enforceable or not and if the final decision is able to constitute a registration title. Accordingly, it was considered appropriate to examine if an arbitral award is assimilated to the final juridical decision concerning the legal consequences, as well as if decisions of court of first or second instance in absentia constitute a registration title of mortgage prenotation. In this effort, references are made to the views and useful findings of the doctrine, as well as to those of the national case law. Finally, the third chapter is devoted to diachronic law of the final juridical decision as a registration title of mortgage prenotation and opinions that were expressed regarding that

description: We examine the observational appearance of an optically thick, spherically symmetric, relativistic wind (a black hole wind). In a relativistic flow, the apparent optical depth becomes small in the downstream direction, while it is large in the upstream direction due to the relativistic effect. Hence, the apparent photosphere of the relativistic flow depends on the flow velocity and direction as well as the density distribution. We calculate the temperature distribution of the apparent photosphere of the optically thick black hole wind, where the wind speed is assumed to be constant and radiation dominates matter, for various values of the wind speed and mass-outflow rate. We found that the limb-darkening effect is strongly enhanced in the relativistic regime. We also found that the observed luminosities of the black hole wind become large as the wind speed increases, but do not depend on the mass-outflow rate.

The effect of oxygen on the reaction between copper and saphire
Creators: name: O’Brien, Thomas Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The effect of oxygen potential on the wetting behavior and interfacial energy between copper and sapphire was studied using the sessile drop technique in a CO-CO₂ atmosphere. A linear relationship was found between γ[sub SL] and log P0₂ from 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻⁵ atmosphere. Beyond 10⁻⁵ atmosphere γ[sub SL] approached a constant value asymptotically. A barrier surface layer was proposed to explain this change. The Gibbs' adsorption equation was used to evaluate the characteristic of the interfaces. Formation of a Cu₂O film at the liquid-vapour interface and a CuAlO₂ film at the solid-liquid interface was suggested. The work of adhesion was found to reach a maximum at approximately 10⁻² atomic precent oxygen. Measurements of the basal radius as a function of oxygen content were used to evaluate the role of oxygen in promoting spreading. It was found that spreading on sapphire was directly proportional to the logarithm of oxygen present in the molten copper drops. Evaluation of the penetration of copper into sapphire was evaluated using the electron probe microanalyser. Data obtained indicated that in absence of oxygen copper does not penetrate appreciably. Between 0.13 and 1.39 wt.% [0] copper penetration was not dependent on oxygen content and time. It was found that copper penetrates very rapidly initially and then appears to stop. An attempt has been made to obtain an equation based on the Young-Dupre equation, when the different energy values are affected the oxygen potential of the system.
Some studies in elastic shell structures

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: SECTION A CHAPTER ONE introduces differential equations applied to the bending of a beam on simple supports. The solution is taken in the form of a Fourier series, each term of which satisfies the boundary conditions of the beam. It is shown that a solution of this form produces no constants of integration. The more advanced problem of the beam on elastic supports is then studied and it is shown how the solution to the differential equation is obtained and a table of derivatives drawn up. Particular problems are then solved by consideration of the boundary conditions. CHAPTER TWO considers the , stresses and deformations of a complete cylindrical shell with axi-symmetric loading. The differential equation is derived and shown to be of the same form as that for the beam on an elastic foundation. The solution is used to explain the anticlastic bending of a plate. CHAPTER THREE derives the simplest form of the shell roof equation, that due to Schorer, and introduces an improved method for obtaining the derivatives of the solution. A direct design approach is introduced which is suitable for teaching an undergraduate class the design of a roof with post tensioned edge beams. CHAPTER FOUR develops the membrane theory of cooling towers built up of a number of conical sections. Published results of tests on a model cooling tower are reanalysed to give better agreement with the theory than was obtained at the time. The theory is extended in the form of a computer program to deal with hyperboloid shells. The failures at Ferrybridge are considered and attributed to the analysis of cone-toroid shells as hyperboloids. CHAPTER FIVE applies Schorer's equation to the deformation of a complete cylindrical shell with unsymmetrical loadings. A fourth order differential equation is derived similar to that of the axi-symmetrically loaded case but with smaller roots. The inextensional bending solution for open tanks is developed and used in place of the particular integral in a number of problems of practical interest. CHAPTER SIX describes a method by which the roots of Flugge's equation for complete cylindrical shells can be extracted. It is shown that two sets of roots are obtained, the first identical to the shell with an axi-symmetrical load, the second identical to the shell with an unsymmetric load. SECTION B The method of chapter six is applied to Flugge's shell roof equation and gives rise to a new characteristic equation with explicit roots. A shell roof with post tensioned edge beams is analysed using a Fourier series for the post-tension which converges rapidly. An edge correction is applied to retain compatibility at the ends of the edge beam.

description: We have performed three searches for high-frequency signals in the solar neutrino flux measured by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO), motivated by the possibility that solar $g$-mode oscillations could affect the production or propagation of solar $^8$B neutrinos. The first search looked for any significant peak in the frequency range 1/day to 144/day, with a sensitivity to sinusoidal signals with amplitudes of 12% or greater. The second search focused on regions in which $g$-mode signals have been claimed by experiments aboard the SoHO satellite, and was sensitive to signals with amplitudes of 10% or greater. The third search looked for extra power across the entire frequency band. No statistically significant signal was detected in any of the three searches.

title: Development and Validation of a Systematic Training Program for the diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Concomitant Conditions

description: The research concerning eating disorders and concomitant conditions shows that anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are serious disorders that pose many diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to mental health and nutrition professionals. Most psychologists and nutritionists receive broad-based training that likely only superficially touches upon the importance of these diagnostic issues. Nevertheless, effective treatment planning requires that diagnostic issues and concomitant conditions be evaluated and incorporated into the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders. Thus, there is an increasing need for specialized training in order to better evaluate and treat the complicated clinical picture presented by eating disorder clients.
However to date, no systematic training package has been available to meet this training need. The present study was designed to fulfill this need by developing and initially validating an expert system-based, computer-assisted training program (ES-CAT). The initial validation involved comparing the mean overall post-test scores of 56 subjects. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups [i.e., expert system-based, computer assisted trainer (ES-CAT), expert system-based trainer without computer guidance (ES), and traditional self-study (SS)].
The ES-CAT was shown to be more effective in training subjects in the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders than either an expert system-based trainer without computer guidance (ES) or a traditional method of training (SS). Indeed, subjects who used the ES-CAT showed large gains in knowledge and mastery of the material at better than 85%.
The addition of the computer-based guidance to the expert system trainer showed more significant gains (from a pre-test to post-test) of learning than the expert system trainer manual only. Furthermore, the expert system-based trainer without computer guidance (ES) was significantly more effective in training subjects than a traditional method of reading and studying textbooks (SS). The total training time of the ES-CAT was approximately 16 hours. Thus, a reasonable and effective means of training practitioners to better evaluate and treat the complicated clinical picture presented by eating disorder patients was developed and initially validated.

description: CERN LHC provides a good experimental platform to perturbatively probe the fundamental gravity scale up to several TeV, with the precise value depending on the number of extra dimensions. The leading experimental signal of graviton at LHC is from the process $pp\to jet+{E\slash}_T$, where ${E\slash}_T$ stands for the transverse missing energy. A detailed discussion on the hadronic production of real graviton through hard subprocesses: $q\bar{q}\to G+g$, $g+q\to G+q$ and $g+g\to G+g$ have been studied within the quantum gravity theory with large extra dimensions. The main theoretical uncertainties together with the dominant standard model background to these processes, e.g. $q\bar{q}\to Z^0+g$ and $g+q\to Z^0+q$ with $Z^0$ further decaying into neutrinos, have also been discussed. It is found that only in certain jet energy region and with certain number of extra dimensions can the quantum gravity signal be distinguished from the background, which inversely lead to the effective scale $M_D$ to be probed up to $(8.8\pm 0.9)$ TeV for two extra dimensions, and $(5.9\pm 0.5)$ TeV for four extra dimensions with sufficient integrated luminosity, e.g. $100fb^{-1}$, at CERN LHC.

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.

description: Kinesins move processively toward the plus end of microtubules by hydrolyzing ATP for each step. From an enzymatic perspective, the mechanism of mechanical motion coupled to the nucleotide chemistry is often well explained using a single-loop cyclic reaction. However, several difficulties arise in interpreting kinesin's backstepping within this framework, especially when external forces oppose the motion of kinesin. We review evidence, such as an ATP-independent stall force and a slower cycle time for backsteps, that has emerged to challenge the idea that kinesin backstepping is due to ATP synthesis, i.e., the reverse cycle of kinesin's forward-stepping chemomechanics. Supplementing the conventional single-loop chemomechanics with routes for ATP-hydrolyzing backward steps and nucleotide-free steps, especially under load, gives a better physical interpretation of the experimental data on backsteps.

description: We investigate connections between radial Fourier multipliers on $R^d$ and certain conical Fourier multipliers on $R^{d+1}$. As an application we obtain a new weak type endpoint bound for the Bochner-Riesz multipliers associated to the light cone in $R^{d+1}$, where $d\ge 4$, and results on characterizations of $L^p\to L^{p,ν}$ inequalities for convolutions with radial kernels.

The influence of progressivism on Tasmanian state primary education, 1904-1920

description: This thesis examines the influence of progressivism on the development of state primary education in Tasmania between the years 1904- 1920 and attempts an explanation of why its influence was more pronounced in some areas of state primary education relative to others. It was a period in which progressivism reached its zenith. Progressivism drew on older traditions of social reform, but also generated many new elements with national efficiency as its fundamental drive. This was a period of a vast intensification of thought, and a period of unparalleled confidence that Western society, with the onset of the twentieth century, was about to enter a new era. Confidence, however, would often lapse into intense anxiety. This for many was to be the dawn of the 'new' man. The Introduction to this thesis examines in general terms the main elements of progressivism and how these affected the development of progressive education. The Tasmanian setting is also examined briefly and in general terms to show how this shaped progressivism and progressive education in state primary schools. The thesis opens with an examination of the impact of progressivism on educational management in Tasmanian state primary schools. W.L. Neale, a South Australian Senior Inspector of Schools, had been commissioned by the Tasmanian Government in 1904 to report on the efficiency of the Tasmanian Education Department. This marks a logical starting point for the study. Neale's administration, three Royal Commissions of enquiry into his administration and his eventual rejection reveal important elements of study for an understanding of the influence of progressivism on Tasmanian state primary education. The appointment of Neale's successor, W.T. McCoy, and his career until his move to South Australia is then studied. The impact of progressivism on the state primary school curriculum, early childhood education, school health and hygiene and school architecture is examined. The impact of the progressives' rural ideal, the development of the new psychology, and the rising concern for a special education for intellectually atypical children provide further material for the thesis. The First World War irrevocably affected the development of progressivism, and so too, progressive education. From now the 'new' men would advance under the banner of science. The thesis is concluded with an analysis of the changing patterns of progressive education in Tasmanian state primary schools during the period 1920-1945.
