description: This paper investigates the effects of electromagnetic field on the gravitational collapse in $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T},\mathcal{Q})$ theory, where $\mathcal{Q} = \mathcal{R}_{φ\vartheta} \mathcal{T}^{φ\vartheta}$. For this, we assume dynamical cylindrically symmetric self-gravitating geometry which is coupled with generalized anisotropic matter distribution as well as dissipation flux. We adopt the model $\mathcal{R}+Φ\sqrt{\mathcal{T}}+Ψ\mathcal{Q}$ to formulate the corresponding dynamical and transport equations by employing the Misner-Sharp as well as Müler-Israel Stewart formalisms, where $Φ$ and $Ψ$ are real-valued coupling constants. The influence of state variables, heat dissipation, charge and the bulk viscosity on the collapsing phenomenon is then studied by establishing some relations between these evolution equations. Moreover, the Weyl scalar and the modified field equations are expressed in terms of each other. We apply some constraints on the considered modified model and the fluid configuration to obtain conformally flat spacetime. Finally, we address different cases to check how the modified corrections and charge affect the collapse rate of cylindrical matter source.

description: This paper develops a methodology for including ecosystem services in a wealth accounting framework. Accounting for ecosystems and their services leads to adjusting net domestic product (NDP) for the direct benefits provided by the current stock of ecosystems but not for their indirect contributions in terms of protecting or supporting economic activity, property and human lives. When ecosystems are irreversibly converted for economic development, NDP must be further modified to reflect any capital revaluation that occurs with the current conversion of ecological capital to other land uses. The risk of collapse also requires adjustments to NDP, as any capital revaluation associated with ecosystem conversion must be adjusted for this risk, and the discounted minimum value of ecosystems associated with collapse must be subtracted from NDP. These various contributions of ecological capital to wealth accounts are illustrated with the example of mangroves in Thailand over the period 1970-2009.

Not Bad For A Girl With No Talent: Leisure As Labor In The Consumption Of Kim Kardashian's Brands
Creators: name: O'Callaghan, Abby
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
This thesis argues that Kim Kardashians product lines present consumers with leisure labor, a category of consumer identity which manifests under the guise of self-care and me-time. To recontextualize established assumptions of labor and leisure, I will demonstrate the ways that Kim Kardashians own work bleeds into her personal life, setting a precedent for fans to be always on. This schema is present in the text of the show, The Kardashians, and in the marketing discourse of their products. Fans are encouraged to experience this approach to self-care through her brands, specifically SKKN by Kim, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, and SKIMS. I will thus be analyzing these objects to intervene with popular notions of retail therapy as a break from routine and conclude that it is instead a self-care routine which reinforces neoliberal ideals of time and space in which one is always producing surplus value.
Parental Investment Decisions in Response to Ambient Nest-Predation Risk Versus Actual Predation on the Prior Nest

description: Theory predicts that parents should invest less in dependent offspring with lower reproductive value, such as those with a high risk of predation. Moreover, high predation risk can favor reduced parental activity when such activity attracts nest predators. Yet, the ability of parents to assess ambient nest-predation risk and respond adaptively remains unclear, especially where nest-predator assemblages are diverse and potentially difficult to assess. We tested whether variation in parental investment by a multi-brooded songbird (Brewer's Sparrow, Spizella breweri) in an environment (sagebrush steppe) with diverse predators was predicted by ambient nest-predation risk or direct experience with nest predation. Variation among eight sites in ambient nest-predation risk, assayed by daily probabilities of nest predation, was largely uncorrelated across four years. In this system risk may therefore be unpredictable, and aspects of parental investment (clutch size, egg mass, incubation rhythms, nestling-feeding rates) were not related to ambient risk. Moreover, investment at first nests that were successful did not differ from that at nests that were depredated, suggesting parents could not assess and respond to territory-level nest-predation risk. However, parents whose nests were depredated reduced clutch sizes and activity at nests attempted later in the season by increasing the length of incubation shifts (on-bouts) and recesses (off-bouts) and decreasing trips to feed nestlings. In this unpredictable environment parent birds may therefore lack sufficient cues of ambient risk on which to base their investment decisions and instead rely on direct experience with nest predation to inform at least some of their decisions.

description: The study utilizes a case study approach to explore how a non-linguistically diverse suburban school district communicates and engages with multilingual families’ and the families’ experiences and perceptions of the district’s efforts. The study is grounded in Critical Race Theory including the use of counterstories and composite narratives, and specifically utilizes Yosso’s (2005) Community Cultural Wealth framework to highlight the strengths and cultural capital of families. Members of multilingual families, such as parents or guardians (e.g., grandparents, aunts, etc.) were invited to participate, with those who agreed were interviewed and asked to share their experiences and perceptions of district communication efforts and opportunities afforded for engagement within the district. Information shared by family members was developed into a composite narrative and shared with identified district and building administrators, allowing for reflection on their own experiences in relation to the shared experiences and perceptions of multilingual families within the district. This study provides the opportunity for researchers and educators to learn about the experiences and perceptions of multilingual families in a suburban school district and the ways in which they have been engaged and supported or further marginalized. In addition, the study explores and identifies changes that can occur at a systems level that support the dismantling of processes and practices that are exclusionary in the promotion of the development of inclusive practices that engage, draw upon, honor and value the knowledge, culture, and experiences of multilingual families.

description: Cross-cultural research in child psychology provides a more in-depth understanding of factors that are universal in the stages of human development, versus the myriad social differences that can result in individual variation along culture-specific lines (Brislin, 1983; “Cross-cultural”, 1979; Karasz & Singelis, 2009). Furthermore, cross-cultural research introduces a unique complexity, given the difficulty of extracting the impact of a single element from the nested nature of social and cultural variables (Brislin, 1983; “Cross-cultural”, 1979; Karasz & Singelis, 2009). The present study develops a greater understanding of the manner in which culture may impact parenting, and thus child development, by examining the relationship between cultural values, socialization goals, and parental ethnotheories. Specifically, this study examined the ways in which cultural value dimensions (i.e., individualism/collectivism, power distance, masculinity/femininity, uncertainty avoidance, indulgence/restraint, and long-/short-term orientation)proposed by Hofstede et al. (2010) shape autonomous and relational socialization goals and parental ethnotheories. Using data collected via the Early Child Behavior Questionnaire (ECBQ) of toddlers (N=865) from 14 nations represented in the Joint Effort Toddler Temperament Consortium (JETTC), we hypothesized the following: 1) Cultural value dimensions consistent with independent cultural ideals will be positively associated with socialization goals and parental ethnotheories representative of a greater emphasis on autonomy and independence; 2) Cultural value dimensions consistent with interdependent cultural ideals will be positively associated with socialization goals and parental ethnotheories representative of greater interrelatedness; and 3) Cultural values/orientation variables are not expected to significantly account for within-culture variance and are associated primarily with between-culture effects, as these are culture-level variables. Multilevel modeling (MLM) was used to regress parental psychology (Socialization Goals and Parental Ethnotheories) on Hofstede’s cultural values, controlling for potentially relevant covariates: child age and gender. Results support the importance of parental psychology and cultural values in early development across cultures and highlight that differences in cultural values can explain both individual- and country-level variations in aspects of parental psychology.

description: El Juyo is a Cantabrian Lower Magdalenian cave site located approximately 8 km west of the city of Santander. The excavations covered an area over 40 m2, and the stratified deposits reach 3.5 m thick, with an estimated duration of Magdalenian occupation of around 1,000 years. Here, we present the first study of the herpetofaunal assemblages from El Juyo and explore their significance in terms of quantitative palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions using different quantitative methods. The palaeoherpetofaunal assemblages documented at El Juyo have a much lower diversity than present day. All methods applied to these assemblages characterised the climate as colder (between −8.5 and −3.7°C) and dryer (between −415 and −344 mm) than today, whereas landscape reconstructions suggest humid open area together with a potentially good representation of woodland areas in the vicinity of the site. This indicates that the climate during the Dryas I was much colder and dryer than today, even if the proximity of the sea may have mitigated in some way the harshness of the climate in this area. Rainfall seasonality pattern changed between the coldest periods of the Dryas I and today from more abundant precipitation during summer to late fall and winter maximum.

description: The question isn’t if U.S. empire will fall but when? In that light, there is a lot to learn about imperial mechanisms and evolutions, and to see how communities survive, resist, and defy the ever-evolving pillars of empire. From the late 19th century to today, Pacific peoples from the islands of the Philippines, Hawai‘i, Guåhan (Guam), and Samoa have at varying times resisted and struggled against colonization and imperialism by Spain, Germany, Japan, and the United States governments. With love and rage, Pacific peoples have fought back and resisted all imperial oppressions and continue to struggle in the pursuit of liberation. This dissertation will examine historical and contemporary storytelling, poetry, and lyrics of Filipinos and Pacific Islanders as they and their diaspora intersect with U.S. empire. Focusing on 20th and 21st century cultural productions, I will investigate what they reveal about U.S. imperialism, militarism, immigration policies, carceral systems, racialization, gendering, state violence, and capitalism. Using Pacific peoples’ cultural productions as a lens to scrutinize empire, we can see what resonates through space and time. Some of the artists looked at in this project are Bambu, Emcee Klassy, Terisa Siagatonu, The Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., Faith Santilla, Julian Aguon, and Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner. Ultimately, these cultural productions are part of a fueling for cultures of defiance. Geographical emphasis is on the U.S. continental west coast in efforts to contribute to the literature in Transpacific Studies in connecting islands, the west coast, and diaspora in the study of the intersections/connections between all imperialized communities and the ever-evolving condition of empire they confront and continue to defy.

description: The external fundamental system (EFS) is a band of slow-growing tissue, deposited in the periphery of the bone cortex of some tetrapod limb bones as a result of low bone growth rates. This structure has been commonly used as an indicator of maturity attainment, allowing researchers to infer life history traits (e.g. age at maturity, growth rates) in both fossil and extant taxa. However, some studies have recognised the absence of the EFS in the tibia of some vertebrate groups, thus raising concerns about the validity of this bone to reconstruct individual life history. This work analyses and describes for the first time the presence of the external fundamental system (EFS) in the tibia of red deer. Results show that the EFS seems to be strongly conditioned by local growth patterns, as its local deposition indicates. Finally, this study highlights the importance of tibia investigations to expand data of bone microstructure in Cervidae and illustrates that research on extant taxa are essential for deciphering growth dynamics and life history strategies of fossil organisms.

description: The white-tailed prairie dog is a spontaneous hibernator that enters art anorexic state followed by torpor in early fall. The black-tailed prairie dog is a facultative hibernator that enters torpor only when deprived of food and water in the winter. The physiological state of hibernation is similar to a Phase II euthermic fast characterized by elevated fat catabolism, increased blood ketone bodies, and conservation of protein tissues. It was hypothesized that these spontaneous and facultative hibernators use fat and protein differently during a fast prior to the hibernation season. Weekly blood and urine samples were taken from both species during a 5-wk period of food and water deprivation. The black-tailed prairie dog lost mass at a greater rate and had a larger daily urine volume and urea, ammonia, and potassium excretion, as well as a higher plasma urea/creatinine ratio, all of which define a greater rare of protein catabolism for this species than for the white-tailed prairie dog. The black-tailed prairie dog, therefore, does not conserve protein to the same extent as the white-tailed prairie dog during a Phase II fast typical of hibernation starvation. Ketone bodies do not appear to regulate protein catabolism directly. But the greater protein catabolism by the black-tailed prairie dog may be related to pH and water balance requirements that are circumvented in the white-tailed prairie dog by engaging in spontaneous torpor. Both species evolved from populations of ancestral prairie clogs that have retained the ability to hibernate spontaneously. It is hypothesized that the black-tailed prairie dogs may not have maintained the capacity for a deep Phase II, protein-conserving state typical of hibernation starvation but keep an active profile throughout winter, relying to a greater extent on protein catabolism in response to selective pressures of greater predation, higher food abundance, and perhaps a need to preserve fat stores for reproduction.

description: We present a method for the measurement of spatially variable signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios in multichannel teleseismic receiver function (RF) images. The S/N ratio is defined as a measure of coherency of the final image, and the approach is applicable to any RF imaging technique that employs mapping of the records into depth followed by their summation as the final signal enhancement step. In such methods, all of the converted phases become horizontally aligned in the depth domain, and their coherent (signal) and incoherent (noise) components can be estimated by using stacking statistics. For 10 locations along two subarrays of the Continental Dynamics of Rocky Mountains Project (CD-ROM) teleseismic array, after a limited RF editing, we apply our method to the image resulting from three-dimensional (3-D) prestack RF depth migration. The resulting amplitude S/N values to vary from 0.1 to 0.3 in the individual RFs and from 1 to 5 in the final image, with significant spatial variability. These moderate S/N values argue in favor of sampling redundancy achieved in array recording and multichannel RF processing. In order to further reduce noise in RF images, denser and longer deployments or additional signal enhancement techniques are advisable. Because of its ability to provide direct assessment of image quality in three dimensions, including its dependence on the frequency band and data coverage, our method can also be potentially used for real-time array tuning and image focusing required for moving arrays proposed for the USArray program.

description: We have developed a new approach to quantitatively reconstruct past changes in evaporation based on compound-specific hydrogen isotope ratios of vascular plant and Sphagnum biomarkers in ombrotrophic peatland sediments. We show that the contrast in H isotopic ratios of water available to living Sphagnum (top 20 cm) and in the rooting zone of peatland vascular plants can be used to estimate "f"-the fraction of water remaining after evaporation. Vascular plant leaf waxes record H isotopic ratios of acrotelm water, which carries the D/H ratio signature of precipitation and is little affected by evaporation, whereas the Sphagnum biomarker, C23 n-alkane, records H isotopic ratios of the water inside its cells and between its leaves, which is strongly affected by evaporation at the: bog surface. Evaporation changes can then be deduced by comparing H isotopic ratios of the two types of biomarkers. We calibrated D/H ratios of C23 n-alkane to source water with lab-grown Sphagnum. We also tested our isotopic model using modern surface samples from 18 ombrotrophic peatlands in the Midwestern United States. Finally, we generated a 3000-year downcore reconstruction from Minden Bog, Michigan, USA. Our new record is consistent with records of other parameters from the same peatland derived from different proxies and allows us to differentiate precipitation supply and evaporative loss.

description: Perovskite YFe0.5Cr0.5O3 exhibits magnetization reversal at low applied fields due to the competition between the single ion magnetic anisotropy and the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction. Below a compensation temperature Tcomp, a tunable bipolar switching of magnetization is demonstrated by changing the magnitude of the field while keeping it in the same direction. The present compound also displays both normal and inverse magnetocaloric effects above and below 260 K, respectively. These phenomena coexisting in a single magnetic system can be tuned in a predictable manner and have potential applications in electromagnetic devices.

Soil water content sensor

description: Soil moisture sensors used to monitor the soil water status are one of the keys to delivering the right amount of water at the right time to satisfy crop water requirements. However, installation, calibration, and maintenance of soil moisture sensing devices and interpretation of data are complicated and tedious for most farmers. Furthermore, the variability, heterogeneity, and complexity of soils and how that interacts with individual soil moisture sensors and those sensors’ installation results in inaccurate soil moisture information. The research aims to analyze the soil moisture data signals to estimate field capacity from soil moisture dynamics to assess the field capacity (FC) or "full point" and management allowable deficit (MAD) or "refill point" for irrigation management. The objectives of the research are to use soil moisture dynamics alone to estimate FC (full point) and MAD (refill points) for irrigation management; and to describe best practices for using soil moisture sensors alone to quantify ET and as well as some of the challenges. Results show that the developed algorithm, with simple interpretation and easy calculation, defines FC values from the soil water content sensor data that were reasonable as verified using data from soil water potential sensors co-located with the soil water content sensors. Using the method of estimating field capacity and literature values of FC, PWP, and MAD by different soil textures, we can also identify a usable refill point of the soil. Lastly, there are large uncertainties and inherent variabilities in measuring the consumptive use, or evapotranspiration (ET), using the soil water balance come from the uncertainties and unknowns in measuring deep percolation and capillary rise, and from installation, inaccuracies, and interpretation of soil water content sensors.

Using Thermomechanical and Photomechanical Characterization to Study the Microscopic Mechanism of Light Actuation in Polymeric Materials

Publisher: name: Washington State University

description: Shape-changing photomechanical materials that are responsive to physical stimuli such as light, stress, and heat are the main focus of this dissertation. Such materials are of interest due to their novel properties and potential applications. We seek to understand the underlying mechanism of their response by designing new experiments and models that can differentiate between the proposed mechanisms. They include photothermal heating, photoisomerization, and photoreorientation. This dissertation studies the photomechanical and thermomechanical responses in dye-doped fibers and thin films as a function of time, temperature, intensity, and light polarization-dependent to provide inputs to theoretical models that decouple the contributing mechanisms. This leads to an understanding of how changes at the molecular level affect the bulk photomechanical response. The figure of merit, which quantifies the efficiency of the photomechanical material in converting light energy into work, is also defined and measured to compare the efficiency of the materials under various conditions. The microscopic response of a photomechanical materials originates in the photomorphon, which is the smallest part of the material that behaves as the bulk. In dye-doped polymers, the photomorphon consists of a photoactive molecule and the host polymer, which acts as a passive environment. We model the photoreological properties of dye-doped polymers as springs whose properties can change in response to light. A measure of the temperature and intensity dependent stress and Young’s modulus characterizes the parameters that relate the microscopic response to the bulk response in the materials. We build an understanding of the dependence of the photomechanical response of polymeric materials on factors such as types of dyes and their concentrations, light intensity and polarization, and temperature that can be used as a guide for making improved photomechanical materials that will find applications that require smart shape shifting materials.

description: An ichnoassemblage comprising trackways and trails of horseshoe crabs and fishes has been discovered in the Upper Triassic Wayaobu Formation of the Ordos Basin, Shaanxi Province, northern China. This is a lacustrine coal-bearing succession with sandstones, mudstones and oil shales. Two trace-bearing beds are present, one with fine sandstone, the other being a mudstone layer. The traces are assigned to Kouphichnium isp., different Undichna ichnospecies representing U. bina, U. britannica, U. ?quina, U. unisulca and U. isp., and to an indeterminate trackway. Kouphichnium isp. shows long trackways dominated by impressions of the pusher legs, often accompanied by a telson trace. While these were probably left by bottom walking horseshoe crabs, others showing elongated curved scratches lacking a telson trace might have been left by swimming individuals. Remarkable is the large size of the Kouphichnium trackmaker if compared to known Triassic body fossils. The ichnofauna is described and the ichnotaxonomy of Undichna and similar forms discussed. In the Late Triassic, a depressional lake basin was formed within the Ordos Basin. Bivalve, crustacean and fish body fossils support a lake environment in a semi-arid to humid climate. Discoveries of horseshoe crab and diverse fish traces indicate a rich shallow lake epibenthic community.

description: The Climate Strike Movement (or Fridays for Future) is one of the most prominent transnational protest movements nowadays. In this paper, I examine the reactions of politicians to this movement to answer the research question: To what extent have German Members of Parliament (MPs) been responsive to local environmentalist street protests by focusing their attention on the Climate Strike Movement and Environmental Policy? To this end, I apply dictionary-based quantitative text-analytical tools to study German MPs’ political communication through 292,949 Facebook posts and 43,644 parliamentary debates between September 2017 and February 2020. Focussing on the effect of the first global climate strike in March 2019 and leveraging varying protest frequencies between the electoral districts, I show that MPs are responsive to protest events in their districts. More local street protest events in an electoral district led to more attention to the Climate Strike Movement and Environmental Policies by political representatives associated with that district. Comparing different discursive arenas, I show how politicians adjust their communication according to the arena’s audience, with protests affecting the political attention to environmental policies more in parliamentary debates than on social media.
