description: Albert Midwinter served in the war by looking after horses, using his experience as a groom before the war. He undertook tasks such as bringing the wounded back from the front and taking supplies and ammunition to the front. He made the decision to volunteer for service very early in the war, in October 1914, at the age of 38. Albert survived the war. Weakened by a bout of pneumonia, he was recovering from influenza when hostilities ended.

"In far Cathay" : images of China in The Boy's Own Paper, 1879-1914
Creators: name: Chen, Shih-Wen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study discusses the representation China and the Chinese in relevant travel accounts, informational reports, adventure stories and illustrations published in The Boy's Own Paper (1879-1967) between the years 1879 and 1914. By examining the portrayal of China and the Chinese in The Boy's Own Paper, this thesis comments on the influential role of popular children's literature in the construction and perpetuation of racial stereotypes. Because racial stereotypes still persist in all areas of the media today, an understanding of the origins of these stereotypes in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century can help one to understand and then confront existing racial issues in contemporary society that sometimes perpetuate seemingly outdated prejudices. Chapter One traces the history of children's publishing in the nineteenth century, comments on the emergence of children's periodicals, and provides background information on The Boy's Own Paper. Chapter Two focuses on The Boy's Own Paper travel writers' impressions of the China and analyzes the rhetorical strategies they use in order to present China as an inferior country. Chapter Three analyzes the ways in which The Boy's Own Paper authors construct the Chinese as a race by discussing authors' language and tone in their descriptions of the characteristics of the Chinese people, which can be divided into physical traits and traits of personality. Chapter Four examines the portrayal of contemporary events in Chinese history, such as the Taiping and Boxer Rebellions, opium, piracy, and other issues related to China. Chapter Five compares the representation of the Japanese and the Koreans with that of the Chinese and discusses reasons for the different approaches the authors take to the countries. Chapter Six examines illustrations pertaining to China and discuss the implications of including these images in The Boy's Own Paper. The conclusion summarizes the findings of the study and provides a brief outlook on the issue of racial stereotyping in contemporary children's literature and in the mass media.

description: Eliza Jane Nicol was born in Scotland in 1888 and was the aunt of the contributor. She served as a nurse during the First World War, near the end of the war. She worked in London and France and, in particular, on Ambulance Train 3, which carried injured soldiers from the coast to hospitals in Britain. The men who worked with Eliza on the train thought highly of her, so they gave her a silver and tortoise shell trinket box, with AT3 engraved on the lid, as a gift of recognition. It may have been an individual present or something that all the nurses were given. After the war she set up a nursing home.

description: A marketing information system for Honduras was devised. The premise behind this project is to provide timely access to agricultural market prices for the private sector. Daily price information would be generated for major markets in the two largest cities in Honduras-Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. The collected information would be disseminated publicly within 24 hours of its collection. Prior to initiation of this project, farmers did not have access to current market prices. Procedures involved in implementing the first agricultural marketing information system for Honduras-a potential model for low-income economies-will be discussed in this paper.

Dazu war es notwendig, eine entsprechende Wärmequelle für das MIG-Schweißen abzubilden, um die eingetragene Wärme in Form eines Temperaturfeldes darzustellen. Die Berechnung erfolgte unter Verwendung der temperaturabhängigen Materialkennwerte der verschweißten Werkstoffe, die in einer Literaturrecherche zusammengestellt wurden. Untersucht wurde außerdem der Einfluss der Modelliergenauigkeit auf die entstehenden Eigenspannungen. Dabei konnte festgestellt werden, dass eine realitätsnahe Darstellung der Naht von großer Bedeutung ist, um die Kerbwirkung der Schweißnaht zu erkennen.

Raymond was born in 1898 and was only 18 when he joined the fusiliers. Ernest joined his local regiment, and both of them survived the war. 2. Postcard sent by Ernest to his aunt and uncle after the war had ended. The postcard was sent on 19th December 1918. The postcard had a stamp on it, saying it had been censored -even after the war they were still checking letters! He was staying on the continent to 'clean up' after the war. He wrote on the front of the postcard, showing where he stayed for three days after he was shot in Thuin, a municipality in Belgium. He wrote about corned beef!
On the Correlations of Massive Black Holes with their Host Galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We address the correlations of black hole (BH) mass with four different host-galaxy properties from eleven existing data sets. To guide theoretical understanding, we first try to quantify the tightness of the intrinsic correlations. Given the estimated measurement errors, we evaluate the probability distribution of the residual variance in excess of that expected from the measurement errors. Our central result is that the current data sets do not allow definite conclusions regarding the quality of the true correlations because the obtained probability distributions for the residual variance overlap for most quantities. We then consider which of the relations offer the best inferences of BH mass when there is no direct measurement available. As with the residual variances, we find that the probability distribution of expected uncertainty in inferred BH masses overlaps significantly for most of the relations. Photometric methods would then be preferred because the data are easier to obtain, as long as bulge-disk decomposition or detailed modeling of the photometric profile (as in \citet{graham:01}) do not present problems. Determining which correlation offers the best inferences requires reducing the uncertainty in the expected error in the inferred BH masses (the ``error on the error''). This uncertainty is currently limited by uncertainty in the residual variance for all of the relations.

description: Pulsating white dwarfs, especially DBVs, can be used as laboratories to study elusive particles such as plasmon neutrinos and axions. In the degenerate interiors of DBVs, plasmon decay is the dominant neutrino producing process. We can measure the neutrino luminosity using asteroseismology and constrain plasmon neutrino rates. In the same way, we can measure any additional loss of energy due to other weakly interacting particles, such as axions. Depending upon their (theoretically largely unconstrained) mass, axions could be a significant source of energy loss for DAVs as well. We are looking at what the uncertainties in the observables are, and what mass and temperature range minimizes them.

Then we construct an additive invariant of those homology cylinders which act on the acyclic closure trivially. We also describe some tools to study the automorphism group of the acyclic closure of a free group generalizing those for the automorphism group of a free group or the homology cobordism group of homology cylinders.

description: Tourism is recognized by several countries as a tool towards an integrated development. Events are a dynamic and fast-growing sector that has become a development tool in both developed and developing countries as a new tourism trend. This study examines event tourism's potentials and impacts in Aksum, Ethiopia. A mixed research approach with a descriptive design was employed through stratified random sampling technique. Questionnaire and interview were instruments used for data collection. Questionnaire respondents were selected randomly while interview participants were recruited purposefully. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied for questionnaire data using SPSS software while content analysis was adopted for interview data. Findings revealed that Aksum has potentials for the development of religious and cultural events followed by historical and business events. The impacts of event tourism to Aksum were found as both positive and negative in relation to socio-economic and environmental activities. The main positive impacts were perceived as improving destination image and boosting local businesses, on the other hand, negative impacts include problems about unfair pricing of local goods and services, trafic congestion and overcrowding. The research concludes by suggesting possible ways of maximizing the positive role of event tourism and minimizing its adverse impacts.

A Supersymmetry Model of Leptons

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: If supersymmetry (SUSY) is not for stabilizing the electroweak energy scale, what is it used for in particle physics? We propose that it is for flavor problems. A cyclic family symmetry is introduced. Under the family symmetry, only the $τ$-lepton is massive due to the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the Higgs field. This symmetry is broken by a sneutrino VEV which results in the muon mass. The comparatively large sneutrino VEV does not result in a large neutrino mass due to requiring heavy gauginos. SUSY breaks at a high scale $\sim 10^{13}$ GeV. The electroweak energy scale is unnaturally small. No additional global symmetry, like the R-parity, is imposed. Other aspects of the model are discussed.

description: Online food shopping is not only one of the newest innovations in grocery shopping but also one of the many services integrating the changing needs of consumers and the increasing use of modern technology. A survey was conducted in the Bryan/College Station area of Texas to determine a quantitative profile of consumers, via logit analysis, who are familiar with the concept of online food shopping and who are willing to use an online food shopping service. Older people, females, major shoppers, and people with lower incomes are less likely to be familiar with the concept of online food shopping. Those consumers willing to consider using online food shopping services are those familiar with the concept of online food shopping, those who find convenience as the largest benefit, and those who are chiefly concerned about price, credit card security, and delivery service. Older people and those with no college education are less likely to use online food shopping services.

description: There were nine brothers including Cecil Smither, the contributor's grandfather. Five fought in the war and two died there. One brother, who was a reserve stretcher bearer, was killed on the Somme and one in German East Africa. The brother who fought in East Africa wrote a letter to Cecil, but died of pneumonia in January 1919. Cecil himself was an apprentice chef in Paris, but the army made no use of his ability to speak French. Cecil Smither sent postcards, including one of himself on a horse. In one army-supplied postcard, the different words had to be crossed out if they did not apply, and if a soldier wrote extra words on the postcard it would be burnt.

Thomas-Fermi theory for atomic nuclei revisited

description: The recently developed semiclassical variational Wigner-Kirkwood (VWK) approach is applied to finite nuclei using external potentials and self-consistent mean fields derived from Skyrme interactions and from relativistic mean field theory. VWK consists of the Thomas-Fermi part plus a pure, perturbative hbar^2 correction. In external potentials, VWK passes through the average of the quantal values of the accumulated level density and total energy as a function of the Fermi energy. However, there is a problem of overbinding when the energy per particle is displayed as a function of the particle number. The situation is analyzed comparing spherical and deformed harmonic oscillator potentials. In the self-consistent case, we show for Skyrme forces that VWK binding energies are very close to those obtained from extended Thomas-Fermi functionals of hbar^4 order, pointing to the rapid convergence of the VWK theory. This satisfying result, however, does not cure the overbinding problem, i.e., the semiclassical energies show more binding than they should. This feature is more pronounced in the case of Skyrme forces than with the relativistic mean field approach. However, even in the latter case the shell correction energy for e.g. 208Pb turns out to be only -6 MeV what is about a factor two or three off the generally accepted value. As an ad hoc remedy, increasing the kinetic energy by 2.5%, leads to shell correction energies well acceptable throughout the periodic table. The general importance of the present studies for other finite Fermi systems, self-bound or in external potentials, is pointed out.

description: Mainstream knowledge management researchers generally agree that knowledge extracted from unstructured data and semi-structured data have become imperative for organizational strategic decision making. In this research, we develop a framework that captures and analyses unstructured data using machine learning techniques and integrates knowledge and insight gained from the data into traditional knowledge management systems. Unlike most frameworks published in the literature that focuses on a specific type of unstructured data, our frameworks cut across the varieties of unstructured data ranging from textual data from social network sites, online forums, discussion boards, reviews to audio data, image data and video data. We highlight some pre-processing and processing techniques for these data and also highlight some standard output. We evaluate the framework by developing a textual data application programming interface (API) using python and beautiful soup and we perform sentiment analysis on the students review data collected through the API.

description: The inevitable circumstance of Covid-19 to dierent tourism destinations requires a concerted effort of the government, industry, and academe in finding ways to continue tourism activities which safeguard the health of the people while contributing to the economic development of a destination. Thus, this research focuses how Divisoria may be branded as a potential shopping tourism destination for local and foreign tourists. Specifically, the variance in the assessments, motivating factors for shopping, and the necessary actions to make Divisoria a tourism destination that prioritizes welfare of tourists amid Covid-19 pandemic were investigated. Six (6) tourists were initially interviewed on how they think Divisoria can be promoted as a shopping tourism destination in the country and how the destination can be adept to Covid-19 pandemic. Sixty (60) respondents were then surveyed on the potential of Divisoria on being a tourist shopping district, focusing on the aspects of shopping culture, service quality, product value and reliability, physical features of stalls and supporting facilities. Tourists are found to be motivated to shop in Divisoria because of cheap finds, accessibility to transportation, variety of goods sold, and availability of local produce. They are also attracted to visit Divisoria due to the accounts of family and friends which increase their curiosity of the place, as well as the association of the destination to holidays. The added value of experiencing vast cultures in the Philippines through Divisoria can be considered a unique selling proposition of the place that may translate to multiplicity of positive word-of-mouth marketing.

Determining optimal staffing levels at the Whistler Blackcomb Ski and Snowboard School
Creators: name: Tse, Stanley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Whistler Blackcomb Resort experiences the highest skier visits of any resort in North America and consequently demand at the ski school is high. Due to various factors, the daily number of lesson participants is highly variable and the best number of instructors to staff each day is correspondingly difficult to estimate. The consequences of scheduling incorrectly could lead to either overstaffing or understaffing. Overstaffing results in unnecessary costs; understaffing results in lost sales and customer dissatisfaction. A scheduling tool that can assist the Ski School in staffing decisions, therefore, is developed to minimize excess costs. Daily demand predictions are made using a forecasting model and a staffing policy is applied to it to obtain a recommended staffing level. The demand forecasting model is a regression model that takes into account pre-bookings, day of the week, holidays, and yesterday's demand. The staffing rules are determined through a Newsvendor-type model derived from a marginal cost analysis of the trade-off between overstaffing and understaffing applied to the daily demand forecasts. The project is intended to formalize a systematic approach to staffing for certain lesson types (pods) one day in advance. It will assist the Whistler Blackcomb Ski and Snowboard School, as a decision support tool, in the development of daily instructor schedules that rninimize any unnecessary costs.

description: Low temperature dynamics of Ising ferromagnets under finite magnetic fields are studied in terms of quantum spin representations of stochastic evolution operators. These are constructed for the Glauber dynamic as well as for a modification of this latter, introduced by K. Park {\it et al.} in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 015701 (2004). In both cases the relaxation time after a field quench is evaluated both numerically and analytically using the spectrum gap of the corresponding operators. The numerical work employs standard recursive techniques following a symmetrization of the evolution operator accomplished by a non-unitary spin rotation. The analytical approach uses low temperature limits to identify dominant terms in the eigenvalue problem. It is argued that the relaxation times already provide a measure of actual nucleation lifetimes under finite fields. The approach is applied to square, triangular and honeycomb lattices.

description: Superconducting Nb3Sn films were fabricated on sapphire and fine grain Nb substrates by magnetron sputtering from a single stoichiometric Nb3Sn target. The structural, morphological and superconducting properties of the films annealed for 24 h at temperatures of 800-1000 °C were investigated. The effect of the annealing time at 1000 °C was examined for 1, 12, and 24 h. The film properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The DC superconducting properties of the films were characterized by a four-point probe measurement down to cryogenic temperatures. The RF surface resistance of films was measured over a temperature range of 6-23 K using a 7.4 GHz sapphire-loaded Nb cavity. As-deposited Nb3Sn films on sapphire had a superconducting critical temperature of 17.21 K, which improved to 17.83 K when the film was annealed at 800 °C for 24 h. For the films annealed at 1000 °C, the surface Sn content was reduced to ~11.3 % for an annealing time of 12 h and to ~4.1 % for an annealing time of 24 h. The Raman spectra of the films confirmed the microstructural evolution after annealing. The RF superconducting critical temperature of the as-deposited Nb3Sn films on Nb was 16.02 K, which increased to 17.44 K when the film was annealed at 800 °C for 24 h.

description: We study the one-point probability distribution functions (PDFs) of the peculiar velocity and the density fluctuation in a cosmological fluid. Within the perturbative approach to the structure formation scenario, the effect of ``pressure'' has recently been an area of research interest. The velocity dispersion of the cosmological fluid creates effective ``pressure'' or viscosity terms. From this viewpoint, because the pressure reflects a nonlinear effect of the motion of the fluid, the pressure model would include nonlinear effects. Here we analyze the Lagrangian linear perturbation PDFs for both the Zel'dovich approximation and the pressure model. We find that the PDFs of the peculiar velocity remain Gaussian, even if we consider the pressure. For the PDFs of the density fluctuation, the occurrence of non-Gaussianity depends on the ``equation of state'' for the fluid. Therefore we distinguish the ``equation of state'' using the PDFs.

description: Water quality standards and a limited water supply have dramatically restricted the expansion of the U.S. trout industry. Faced with production restrictions, producers have turned to value-added products to strengthen the economic growth of the industry. In the near future, trout steaks could surface in retail outlets as a new revenue source for the mature trout industry. A telephone survey of consumers in Chicago and Los Angeles was conducted by the University of Idaho in the spring of 1997 to determine consumer preferences for trout steaks and, ultimately, to determine the viability of this product form. Using a probit analysis, fresh trout steaks were found to be more popular than frozen trout steaks. Consumers that exhibited significantly higher preference for fresh trout steaks were Hispanic, had high school education (or less), and/or believed that trout was less expensive than other meats. Chicago respondents and individuals with an urban background tended to display a higher preference toward frozen trout steaks.

description: This research approaches destination management in coastal territories from a holistic and sustainable approach, based on the understanding of sustainability as an issue that must consider economic, host, visitors and natural environments. Special attention is drawn towards the need for a holistic Destination Management Plan with a focus on sustainability by incorporating resilience into tourism management. In particular, tourism destination management is discussed in the context of the South Island, New Zealand. This descriptive study contributes to sustainable tourism development in the region, taking into account its pure landscapes, fragile infrastructure and its environmental dependence. The paper argues that the durability of the tourism sector is reliant upon the inter-related economic, host, visitor and environmental sustainability landscapes.

description: The Fourier inversion of phased coherent diffraction patterns offers images without the resolution and depth-of-focus limitations of lens-based tomographic systems. We report on our recent experimental images inverted using recent developments in phase retrieval algorithms, and summarize efforts that led to these accomplishments. These include ab-initio reconstruction of a two-dimensional test pattern, infinite depth of focus image of a thick object, and its high-resolution (~10 nm resolution) three-dimensional image. Developments on the structural imaging of low density aerogel samples are discussed.

description: Bertram Ratcliffe was born in 1893 and is a former pupil of Our Lady's Abingdon. Ratcliffe was an officer who became a prisoner of war in the Battle of Aisne in September 1914. He was shot but had an operation in the prison camp to save the use of his arm. Whilst being transported between prisons three years later, he and some others escaped from a moving train. They then walked for 36 hours and escaped into Holland. He was one of the first prisoners of war to escape and was invited to regale King George V with his story. Consequently he won the Military Cross. Our Lady's Library is now named after Bertram Ratcliffe.

description: The purpose of this study was to estimate the impact of the major factors affecting the export demand for U.S. walnuts in Asia and the European Union (E.U.), which together import about 75 percent of U.S. walnut exports. The primary objective pertained to the impacts of federal promotion programs on the foreign demand for U.S. walnuts. The marginal return per dollar to decreasing promotion expenditures for walnuts was $6.14 for Asia, reflecting prudent utilization of promotion expenditures as the Asian market for U.S. walnuts approaches maturity. The European Union appears to be a mature market for U.S. walnut exports with no detectable responsiveness to promotion expenditures.

description: Residents' support and their engagement in coastal tourism development play an important role in enhancing community wellbeing. There have many efforts by the local authority and the government in planning coastal tourism attractions at Pantai Senok, including the planting of coastal rhu trees and white trees along the coast since 2009. This study examined how the community's welcoming nature, emotional closeness, sympathetic understanding, attitudes and community commitment impact the support for coastal tourism planning, which ultimately describes the community well-being. To test the research model, survey data were collected from 150 residents living at Pantai Senok, Malaysia. Findings revealed that emotional closeness, welcoming nature, sympathetic understanding, community commitment and attitudes have significant effects on local community support for coastal tourism planning. These supports have also improved the quality of life and well-being of the local community.

description: A nationwide household survey was used to examine U.S. consumers' attitude and purchase behavior toward in-shell peanuts. Fishbein's multiattribute model was the basis for evaluating the effects of perceived product attributes on attitudes toward in-shell peanuts. Consumer purchase behavior was analyzed using a count data model. The results suggest that attitudes toward in-shell peanuts were influenced by attributes such as fat, taste, and healthiness, and that taste was the only attribute influencing consumers' purchase decisions. Consumers who perceived that in-shell peanuts contained undesirable nutritional ingredients, such as fat and cholesterol, developed unfavorable attitudes toward in-shell peanuts. These perceptions translated into reduced purchase frequency for in-shell peanuts.

description: Alfred Felton Matthews was the great-uncle of Susan Hargreaves. He was going to be a missionary but joined the army instead when war was announced. He fought in the second battle of Ypres and died on May 5th 1915. His family were always told he was a stretcher bearer, carrying gas victims away from the battle, but that story can't be true as gas wasn't used at that time or in that place. Alfred's body was never found, so his name is on the Menin Gate. The loss really affected his family and they continued trying to locate his body even ten years later. They were sent a set of medals but his name was spelt wrong, so they asked for a replacement set. However, this set of medals was never assembled, probably because the family felt the loss too greatly.

description: High-temperature superconductivity in iron-based layered compounds discovered by Hosono group (Kamihara et al 2006 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 128 10012) is fascinating physical phenomenon which still has many unanswered questions. One of these questions is the superconducting gap symmetry in iron-based superconductors (IBS), for which the most agreed concept is multiple-band $s$-wave symmetry. Recently, an alternative concept of single-band $p$-wave symmetry has been proposed. To disprove/reaffirm the latter concept, in this paper we analyse temperature dependent in-plane coherence length in FeSe, FeSe1-xTex, Ba(Fe1-x(Co,Ni)x)2As2 and Ca10(Pt4As8)((Fe,Pt)2As2)5 in order to extract the gap-to-critical-temperature ratio, 2$Δ$(0)/$k$$_B$$T$$_c$, and the specific-heat-jump ratio, $Δ$C/C,in these compounds. In the result, we report that deduced ratios are in a good agreement with the concept of single-band $p$-wave superconductivity in these materials.

description: Kronecker products of unitary Fourier matrices play important role in solving multilevel circulant systems by a multidimensional Fast Fourier Transform. They are also special cases of complex Hadamard (Zeilinger) matrices arising in many problems of mathematics and theoretical physics. The main result of the paper is splitting the set of all kronecker products of unitary Fourier matrices into permutation equivalence classes. The choice of permutation equivalence to relate the products is motivated by the quantum information theory problem of constructing maximally entangled bases of finite dimensional quantum systems. Permutation inequivalent products can be used to construct inequivalent, in a certain sense, maximally entangled bases.

description: This paper provides an introduction to quantum filtering theory. An introduction to quantum probability theory is given, focusing on the spectral theorem and the conditional expectation as a least squares estimate, and culminating in the construction of Wiener and Poisson processes on the Fock space. We describe the quantum Itô calculus and its use in the modelling of physical systems. We use both reference probability and innovations methods to obtain quantum filtering equations for system-probe models from quantum optics.
