description: This study develops a new version of the problematic Internet use scale suitable for senior elementary school students. It includes six subscales: time management, compulsive Internet use, emotion adjustment influence, interpersonal and academic influence, preferred online social interaction, and daily life influence. This research utilized the survey method to understand the relationship between student backgrounds and their Internet use behaviors, and problematic Internet use. A total of 775 elementary school fifth and sixth graders from northern Taiwan were sampled based on the stratified random sampling method. There were 763 valid surveys. The results indicated that the factors of gender, parents’ attitudes towards Internet use, the time when subjects first started to use the Internet, number of hours spent getting online each time on weekdays, number of types of devices used to go online, and Internet activity preferences are significant. Boys have more serious problematic Internet use than girls. Different Internet activities present different risks of triggering problematic Internet use for male and female students. Students whose parents allow them to use the Internet without intervention have more serious problematic Internet use. Students exhibit more serious problematic internet use if they start using the Internet before beginning elementary school. When students use the Internet more and can go online using more types of devices, they tend to have more serious problematic Internet use. This study finds that students preferring Internet activities for recreational entertainment and social interaction have more serious problematic Internet use than students preferring Internet activities as learning tools.

description: The $^{15}$O($α$,$γ$)$^{19}$Ne reaction is responsible for breakout from the hot CNO cycle in Type I x-ray bursts. Understanding the properties of resonances between $E_x = 4$ and 5 MeV in $^{19}$Ne is crucial in the calculation of this reaction rate. The spins and parities of these states are well known, with the exception of the 4.14- and 4.20-MeV states, which have adopted spin-parities of 9/2$^-$ and 7/2$^-$, respectively. Gamma-ray transitions from these states were studied using triton-$γ$-$γ$ coincidences from the $^{19}$F($^{3}$He,$tγ$)$^{19}$Ne reaction measured with GODDESS (Gammasphere ORRUBA Dual Detectors for Experimental Structure Studies) at Argonne National Laboratory. The observed transitions from the 4.14- and 4.20-MeV states provide strong evidence that the $J^π$ values are actually 7/2$^-$ and 9/2$^-$, respectively. These assignments are consistent with the values in the $^{19}$F mirror nucleus and in contrast to previously accepted assignments.

description: A structural gravity model of UK livestock trade is developed and employed to assess the risk of possible disease incursions into the UK. Gravity models have been employed for a number of years in the econometric literature on international trade with considerable success. They involve modeling international trade by incorporating spatially explicit information into a model of the flow of traded goods between nations. Structural gravity models differ slightly from the naïve gravity model by developing a structural econometric model from an explicit theoretical model of consumer decision-­‐making and this then results in the incorporation of multilateral trade resistance terms into the gravity equation. Such models have made considerable methodological advances in recent years. Gravity models have also been developed by epidemiologists to model the spatial spread of diseases between different populations. In this paper I develop a model that combines these two different approaches by using a combined panel dataset of livestock trade and disease incidence for the UK. Epidemiological variables are built into a theoretical model of individual consumer and producer decision-­‐making and the corresponding structural gravity equation is derived. This is then estimated econometrically.
Self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike approximation for three-dimensional spins

description: An Ornstein-Zernike approximation for the two-body correlation function embodying thermodynamic consistency is applied to a system of classical Heisenberg spins on a three-dimensional lattice. The consistency condition determined in a previous work is supplemented by introducing a simplified expression for the mean-square fluctuations of the spin on each lattice site. The thermodynamics and the correlations obtained by this closure are then compared with approximants based on extrapolation of series expansions and with Monte Carlo simulations. The comparison reveals that many properties of the model, including the critical temperature, are very well reproduced by this simple version of the theory, but that it shows substantial quantitative error in the critical region, both above the critical temperature and with respect to its rendering of the spontaneous magnetization curve. A less simple but conceptually more satisfactory version of the SCOZA is then developed, but not solved, in which the effects of transverse correlations on the longitudinal susceptibility is included, yielding a more complete and accurate description of the spin-wave properties of the model.

description: Abstract

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) play a crucial role in project management by assessing progress, performance, and outcomes to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. This study investigates the factors affecting M&E and their impact on project outcomes, with a particular focus on projects funded by the Banadir Regional Administration in Somalia. The research examines four key factors influencing M&E effectiveness: technical expertise of staff, stakeholder participation, budgetary allocation, and ICT adoption.

A descriptive survey research design was employed, and data were collected through questionnaires administered to a sample of 68 respondents, including project managers, M&E professionals, and key stakeholders. The study findings indicate that all four factors significantly influence M&E effectiveness, with budgetary allocation having the greatest impact, followed by technical expertise, stakeholder participation, and ICT adoption. The results highlight the necessity of adequate funding, skilled personnel, and active stakeholder involvement in ensuring successful M&E implementation.

Additionally, the study identifies key challenges hindering effective M&E, including political interference, lack of accountability, and corruption. Based on these findings, recommendations are made to enhance M&E practices, such as improving staff competency, ensuring sufficient budget allocation, fostering stakeholder engagement, and leveraging ICT tools for data collection and reporting.

This research contributes to the understanding of M&E dynamics in Somalia and provides insights into strengthening M&E systems to improve project outcomes. Future studies should explore additional factors affecting M&E effectiveness and extend research to other regions for broader applicability.

description: A great deal of experimental effort is currently being devoted to the precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) sky in temperature and polarisation. Satellites, balloon-borne, and ground-based experiments scrutinize the CMB sky at multiple scales, and therefore enable to investigate not only the evolution of the early Universe, but also its late-time physics with unprecedented accuracy. The pipeline leading from time ordered data as collected by the instrument to the final product is highly structured. Moreover, it has also to provide accurate estimates of statistical and systematic uncertainties connected to the specific experiment. In this paper, we review likelihood approaches targeted to the analysis of the CMB signal at different scales, and to the estimation of key cosmological parameters. We consider methods that analyze the data in the spatial (i.e., pixel-based) or harmonic domain. We highlight the most relevant aspects of each approach and compare their performance.

Year: 2024

description: The teaching of English as a foreign language to young learners is a complex and multifaceted task that requires careful consideration of the learner's age, cognitive development, and language learning style. In addition to these factors, the psychological factors that influence language learning also play an important role in the success of language teaching. In this article, we will explore the psychological factors that influence language learning in young learners, including motivation, anxiety, and learning style. We will also examine the impact of these factors on the effectiveness of language instruction, and discuss potential solutions for addressing these challenges. Finally, we will provide recommendations for best practices in the teaching of English to young learners, including the importance of creating a positive and supportive learning environment.

description: The linkages between agriculture and other sectors in the economy have been studied frequently and results generally point to high income and employment multipliers for agriculture. However, relatively few studies have looked at the spatial location of agriculture and even fewer studies have looked at the spatial location of the agri-business processing firms and their impact on the local economy. This paper will provide an overview of the agri-business processing sub-sector in Ireland. The geographical pattern of economic linkages within the sector and with other sectors in the economy will be analysed to investigate the impact of agri-business processing firms on the local economy. The economic linkages between the origin (location of the firm) and the destination of sales (downstream), purchases (upstream) and employment flows will be quantified. Exploring the factors influencing economic linkages in the agri-business processing sector will allow a greater understanding of the importance of the agri-food sector to the local economy. This analysis provides an interesting in-sight into the 224 agri-business processors surveyed as part of a wider research programme developing a Spatial Input-Output model for the Irish economy.

description: The impact of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on the national economy is examined using a general equilibrium model and comparing measures of the economy from 2010 to a simulation of that economy without SNAP. Without the SNAP program, the overall size of the economy hardly differs—demand for labor increases slightly. However, households that would be eligible for SNAP experience a net loss. They have 5.5 percent less disposable income while ineligible households have approximately 1 percent more income without SNAP, and output of products eligible for purchase with SNAP funds declines approximately one billion dollars.
Highly-Ionized Gas in the Galactic Halo: A FUSE Survey of O VI Absorption toward 22 Halo Stars

description: Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer spectra of 22 Galactic halo stars are studied to determine the amount of O VI in the Galactic halo between ~0.3 and \~10 kpc from the Galactic mid-plane. Strong O VI 1031.93 A absorption was detected toward 21 stars, and a reliable 3 sigma upper limit was obtained toward HD 97991. The weaker member of the O VI doublet at 1037.62 A could be studied toward only six stars. The observed columns are reasonably consistent with a patchy exponential O VI distribution with a mid-plane density of 1.7x10^(-8) cm^(-3) and scale height between 2.3 and 4 kpc. We do not see clear signs of strong high-velocity components in O VI absorption along the Galactic sight lines, which indicates the general absence of high velocity O VI within 2-5 kpc of the Galactic mid-plane. The correlation between the H I and O VI intermediate velocity absorption is also poor. The O VI velocity dispersions are much larger than the value of ~18 km/s expected from thermal broadening for gas at T~300,000 K, the temperature at which O VI is expected to reach its peak abundance in collisional ionization equilibrium. Turbulence, inflow, and outflow must have an effect on the shape of the O VI profiles. Kinematical comparisons of O VI with Ar I suggest the presence of two different types of O VI-bearing environments toward the Galactic sight lines. Comparison of O VI with other highly-ionized species suggests that the high ions are produced primarily by cooling hot gas in the Galactic fountain flow, and that turbulent mixing also has a significant contribution. The role of turbulent mixing is most important toward sight lines that sample supernova remnants like Loop I and IV.

Abstract

Resonance Field Theory (RFT): A Unified Framework for Space, Time, Matter, and Energy

For over a century, physics has been constrained by the fragmentation between relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. Resonance Field Theory (RFT) provides a coherent, falsifiable framework that resolves these contradictions by treating space, time, matter, and energy as structured resonance states rather than discrete entities.

This book introduces the mathematical foundation and experimental predictions of RFT, proposing:

• Gravity as Resonance Compression rather than space-time curvature.

• Mass as Energy Condensation through chiral wave confinement.

• Time as a Structured Fractal Wave, eliminating the need for an independent “arrow of time.”

• Dark Matter and Dark Energy as Emergent Resonance Fields, not missing particles.

• A Prime-Number-Based Structure of Cosmic Formation, linking quantum fluctuations to large-scale matter distribution.

This work expands on QRD (Quantum Resonance Dynamics) and CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems), forming a self-consistent, experimentally testable model that predicts new gravitational, quantum, and cosmological phenomena.

If validated, RFT marks a paradigm shift in physics, replacing reductionist statistical interpretations with a resonance-based unification of the fundamental forces.

description: We use data from hypothetical and nonhypothetical choice-based conjoint analysis to estimate willingness to pay for local food products. The survey was administered to three groups: consumers from a buying club with experience with local and grass-fed production markets, a random sample of Maryland residents, and shoppers at a nonspecialty Maryland supermarket. We find that random-sample and supermarket shoppers are willing to pay a premium for local products but view local and grass-fed production as substitutes. Conversely, buying-club members are less willing to pay for local production than the other groups but do not conflate local and grass-fed production.

description: Adoption of advanced breeding technologies and management practices (BTMP) in U.S. meat goat production and their impact were examined. Adopters generally had larger-scale operations, used rotational grazing and/or dry lot systems, and sold larger percentages of animals for breeding and show purposes. Farmer demographics and farm variables also influenced adoption. Complementarity of adoption was found—adopters of one BTMP tended to adopt other BTMPs. Measures of productivity and profitability were not affected by adoption. Goat breed, farmer experience, production system used, and specialization influenced productivity, and farm size had the greatest influence on enterprise profitability.
Search for electroweak production of a vector-like T quark using fully hadronic final states
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A search is performed for electroweak production of a vector-like top quark partner T of charge 2/3 in association with a top or bottom quark, using proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The search targets T quarks over a wide range of masses and fractional widths, decaying to a top quark and either a Higgs boson or a Z boson in fully hadronic final states. The search is performed using two experimentally distinct signatures that depend on whether or not each quark from the decays of the top quark, Higgs boson, or Z boson produces an individual resolved jet. Jet substructure, b tagging, and kinematic variables are used to identify the top quark and boson jets, and also to suppress the standard model backgrounds. The data are found to be consistent with the expected backgrounds. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the cross sections for T quark-mediated production of tHQq, tZQq, and their sum, where Q is the associated top or bottom heavy quark and q is another associated quark. The limits are given for each search signature for various T quark widths up to 30% of the T quark mass, and are between 2 pb and 20 fb for T quark masses in the range 0.6-2.6 TeV. These results are significantly more sensitive than prior searches for electroweak single production of T $\to$ tH and represent the first constraints on T $\to$ tZ using hadronic decays of the Z boson with this production mode.

description: We assess farmers' incentives and the conditioning factors for adoption of agricultural technologies under climate risk and evaluate its impact on food security in Niger. Results show that while the use of modern inputs and organic fertilizers improves productivity, results are unclear for crop residues. Results also show that factors driving modern input use are different than those of crop residues and organic fertilizer which can be characterized at low capital requirements, higher labour requirements and longer time for results versus modern inputs which can be characterized as higher capital requirements, less labour requirement and shorter time for returns. Results show that greater climate variability increases use of risk-reducing inputs, but reduce the use of modern inputs. Results presented have implications for understanding and overcoming barriers to adoption, distinguishing structural aspects such as exposure and sensitivity from potential interventions at the household or system levels linked to adaptive capacity.

description: Wrocław, the capital of Astrapaeus ulmi (Rossi) (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae).Seventeen specimens of the rare rove beetle Astrapaeus ulmi (Rossi) are recorded from Wrocław, collected or observed in recent years. Most of them were found in urban environment, including the city center, mainly on walkways. A recent colonization of this primarily Mediterranean species seems well-supported by the lack of any specimens from this area preserved at the Museum of Natural History, University of Wrocław. We discuss the urban island heat effect as the presumable phenomenon facilitating the occurrence of thermophiles in Wrocław and surrounding areas.

In the static gauge, the action in question implies a discrete spectrum for the closed membrane of WM2 theory, which under double dimensional reduction is shown to reproduce the known NCOS/Wound closed string spectrum. We examine as well open membranes ending on each of the three types of M5-branes in WM2 theory (OM theory arising from the 'longitudinal' type), and show that the 'fully transverse' fivebrane is tensionless. As a prelude to the membrane, we also study the case of the string, where we likewise obtain a reparametrization-invariant action, and make contact with previous work.

description: We investigate the effect of short-range correlations on the dynamical phase diagram of quantum many-body systems with long-range interactions. Focusing on Ising spin chains with power-law decaying interactions and accounting for short-range correlations by a cluster mean field theory we show that short-range correlations are responsible for the emergence of a chaotic dynamical region. Analyzing the fine details of the phase diagram, we show that the resulting chaotic dynamics bears close analogies with that of a tossed coin.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: We derive a simple Woods-Saxon type form for the potentials between $Y=Ξ, Ω$ and $α$ by using a single-folding potential method, based on a separable $Y$-nucleon potential. Accordingly, the potentials $Ξ+α$ and $Ω+α$ are obtained using the ESC08c Nijmegens $ΞN$ potential (in $^{3}S_{1}$ channel) and HAL QCD Collaboration $ΩN$ interactions (in lattice QCD), respectively. In deriving the potential between $Y$ and $α$, the same potential between $Y$ and $N$ is used. Binding energy, scattering length and effective range of $Y$ particle on the alpha particle are approximated by the resultant potentials. The depths of the potentials in $Ωα$ and $Ξα$ systems are obtained $-61$ and $-24.4$ MeV, respectively. In the case of $Ξα$ potential, a fairly good agreement is observed between the single-folding potential method and the phenomenological potential of Dover-Gal model. These potentials can be used in 3-,4- and 5-body cluster structures of $ Ω$ and $Ξ$ hypernuclei.

description: Charged Current reactions of $ν_e$ on $^{12}C$ have been studied using a $μ^+$ decay-at-rest $ν_e$ beam at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The cross section for the exclusive reaction $^{12}C(ν_e,e^-)^{12}N_{g.s.}$ was measured to be $(8.9\pm0.3\pm0.9)\times10^{-42}$ cm$^2$. The observed energy dependence of the cross section and angular distribution of the outgoing electron agree well with theoretical expectations. Measurements are also presented for inclusive transitions to $^{12}N$ excited states, $^{12}C(ν_e,e^-)^{12}N^*$ and compared with theoretical expectations. The measured cross section, $(4.3\pm0.4\pm0.6)\times10^{-42}$ cm$^2$, is somewhat lower than previous measurements and than a continuum random phase approximation calculation. It is in better agreement with a recent shell model calculation.

Determinants of R&D University-Frim Collaboration and Its Impact on Innovation: a Perspective from the Italian Food and Drink Industry

description: The objective of this paper is to examine R&D collaboration between firms, on the one hand, and universities or public research labs, on the other, with particular attention to the role such collaboration plays among the determinants of product and process innovation in the Italian food and drink industry. The firm data are sourced from four waves of the Capitalia survey. The approach is a multivariate probit analysis in which the dependent variables are intra muros R&D investment, R&D collaboration with universities, public labs and private firms, process and product innovation. The independent variables consist of firm, territory and university characteristics. The results of the analysis demonstrate that R&D university–firm collaboration determines process innovation and, to a lesser extent, product innovation. A firm’s product innovation is positively affected by its geographical proximity to a university but negatively affected by the amount of its codified knowledge production.

description: We present results from a Chandra observation of the NGC346 cluster, which is the ionizing source of N66, the most luminous HII region and the largest star formation region in the SMC. In the first part of this investigation, we have analysed the X-ray properties of the cluster itself and the remarkable star HD 5980. But the field contains additional objects of interest. In total, 75 X-ray point sources were detected in the Chandra observation: this is five times the number of sources detected by previous X-ray surveys. We investigate here their characteristics in detail. Due to high foreground absorption, the sources possess rather high hardness ratios. Their cumulative luminosity function appears generally steeper than that for the rest of the SMC at higher luminosities. Their absorption columns suggest that most of the sources belong to NGC 346. Using DSS data and new UBVRI imaging with the ESO 2.2m telescope, we also discovered possible counterparts for 32 of these X-ray sources and estimated a B spectral type for a large number of these counterparts. This tends to suggest that most of the X-ray sources in the field are in fact X-ray binaries. Finally, some objects show X-ray and/or optical variability, with a need for further monitoring.

description: With the introduction of biofuels a conflict newly remerges between cash crops, mostly for export, and food crops, mostly for food security. It is also feared that mo-no-cropping threatens the agro-ecology in developing countries impeding future food security. We seek coexistence minimizing negative impacts on productivity. We show how to model explicitly land distribution and transition through a dynamic approach containing large- and small-scale sectors competing for land and labour as stocks. We display short- and long-term effects on competitiveness of sectors and degradation potentials are addressed. Specifically skill and knowledge acquisition are modelled as dynamic processes beside soil fertility. Additionally transaction co-sts on land development are reckoned. Land transfer and food pricing are modelled as control variables and distinguished from stock variables incl. human capital and soil fertility. Yet control (policy) variables are land taxing and food subsidies. Soil fertility in smallholder farms is based on manure; biofuel uses imported fertilizer.
