title: Detrital zircon fission-track thermochronology and U-Pb geochronology of syn-rift, Lower Cretaceous Hibernia Formation strata, Jeanne d’Arc basin, offshore Newfoundland
Creators: name: Johns-Buss, Emily
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: The Newfoundland margin was established after Mesozoic continental rifting broke up supercontinent Pangea and opened the North Atlantic Ocean between North America and Europe. Normal faults cut through the lithosphere to accommodate extension and created a dynamic landscape that shifted as the rift system evolved over ~150 million years. Upper Triassic to Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rock units of the Jeanne d’Arc basin, Grand Banks, offshore Newfoundland, have been broadly correlated to rift processes, however, the precise timing of riftrelated exhumation and details of ancient drainage systems were uncertain. New stratigraphic and sediment provenance results for Lower Cretaceous Hibernia Formation strata, including those that are known reservoir units at the Hibernia oil field, confirm rift-related exhumation was occurring in the Grand Banks during the Triassic to Jurassic and Early Cretaceous and can be tied to rift processes occurring further offshore in deep-water settings. North-flowing, Early Cretaceous rivers and delta systems drained highlands that were located south of the Jeanne d’Arc basin and comprised both uplifted rocks of the Appalachian orogen and active, syn-rift volcanic centers.

description: The phenomenon of “masstige brands” has led many luxury brands to launch downward extensions, which come with the risk of diluting the parent brand. The goal of this study is to test the extent to which downward line extensions may impact a French luxury parent brand's evaluation by U.S. consumers through the role of branding strategies, extension authenticity, and fit. Based on an ANOVA design, our results show that different branding strategies, such as direct, sub-branded, and/or independent/standalone line extensions, have different impacts on the level of dilution of the luxury parent brand. Specifically, an independent/standalone brand scores better for a downward extension than for a horizontal extension. The findings also reveal that extension authenticity and fit play a key role in the process. Theoretical and managerial implications are provided.

description: The effect of mass and energy loading on the efficiency at which energy can be extracted magnetically from a Kerr black hole is explored, using a semi-analytic, ideal MHD model that incorporates plasma injection on magnetic field lines. We find a critical load below which the specific energy of the plasma inflowing into the black hole is negative, and above which it is positive, and identify two types of flows with distinct properties; at sub-critical loads a magnetic outflow is launched from the ergosphere, owing to extraction of the black hole spin energy, as originally proposed by Blandford and Znajek. At super-critical loads the structure of the flow depends on the details of the injection process. In cases where the injected plasma is relativistically hot, a pressure driven, double trans-magnetosonic flow is launched from a stagnation point located outside the ergosphere, between the inner and outer light cylinders. Some fraction of the energy deposited in the magnetosphere is then absorbed by the black hole and the rest emerges at infinity in the form of a relativistic outflow. When the injected plasma is cold an outflow may not form at all. We discuss the implications of our results to gamma ray bursts and active galactic nuclei.

description: Background: The main aim of China’s Health Care System Reform was to help the decision maker find the optimal solution to China’s institutional problem of health care provider selection. A pilot health care provider research system was recently organized in China’s health care system, and it could efficiently collect the data for determining the optimal solution to China’s institutional problem of health care provider selection from various experts, then the purpose of this study was to apply the optimal implementation methodology to help the decision maker effectively promote various experts’ views into various optimal solutions to this problem under the support of this pilot system. Methods: After the general framework of China’s institutional problem of health care provider selection was established, this study collaborated with the National Bureau of Statistics of China to commission a large-scale 2009 to 2010 national expert survey (n = 3,914) through the organization of a pilot health care provider research system for the first time in China, and the analytic network process (ANP) implementation methodology was adopted to analyze the dataset from this survey. Results: The market-oriented health care provider approach was the optimal solution to China’s institutional problem of health care provider selection from the doctors’ point of view; the traditional government’s regulation-oriented health care provider approach was the optimal solution to China’s institutional problem of health care provider selection from the pharmacists’ point of view, the hospital administrators’ point of view, and the point of view of health officials in health administration departments; the public private partnership (PPP) approach was the optimal solution to China’s institutional problem of health care provider selection from the nurses’ point of view, the point of view of officials in medical insurance agencies, and the health care researchers’ point of view. Conclusions: The data collected through a pilot health care provider research system in the 2009 to 2010 national expert survey could help the decision maker effectively promote various experts’ views into various optimal solutions to China’s institutional problem of health care provider selection.

description: The widespread presence of atypical forms of work in our society is not only due to a change of the possible types of work, but is also emptying the same work of its social function. There are more at risk psychological variables. The instability of the work connected to a personal perception of losing their jobs; the problems that arise on the construction of professional identity of persons; on the interactions between the subject and its organization of work and the satisfaction and quality of life. Especially the private life. In this essay I will put my attention on the meaning that this working model involves a psychological level. The goal is to promote a learning process which can give the subject of resilience potential and creative resources to respond to the suffering that these types of work involved. For the education and training that attention is becoming increasingly urgent. Until now the goal was perhaps more to build knowledge and basic skills and specific, without taking into serious consideration the specific aspect of identity of the worker and his personal stability.Today it is necessary to pay attention to all the human sciences - and pedagogy before any other - on the problems that the atypical work and job instability fee for the subject and for all the people who share his sphere of life.

description: We elaborate on the method of differential equations for evaluating Feynman integrals. We focus on systems of equations for master integrals having a linear dependence on the dimensional parameter. For these systems we identify the criteria to bring them in a canonical form, recently identified by Henn, where the dependence of the dimensional parameter is disentangled from the kinematics. The determination of the transformation and the computation of the solution are obtained by using Magnus and Dyson series expansion. We apply the method to planar and non-planar two-loop QED vertex diagrams for massive fermions, and to non-planar two-loop integrals contributing to 2 -> 2 scattering of massless particles. The extension to systems which are polynomial in the dimensional parameter is discussed as well.

description: This paper discusses experiments with Labour-Based Grading (LBG) in undergraduate anthropology courses at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. Since before the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been aware that our teaching was not serving students, especially those from different class backgrounds and historically marginalized communities, and those with learning disabilities or mental health issues. The challenges these students face are compounded by a secondary school education that does not adequately prepare them for university, leaving many feeling uncared for in the classroom. In response, we developed pedagogical practices of care using LBG. We discuss LBG as an assessment method that determines students’ grades based on the time and effort they spend on an assignment, instead of more conventional subjective criteria. We reflect on staff and student experiences with LBG to offer it as a model for a future of learning that actualizes care in the classroom.

Finite-difference time-domain electromagnetic simulations show that the waveguided luminescence photon flux can be enhanced up to 30% for the photonic crystal design over a conventional LSC operating in the ray optic limit assuming the same number of excited lumophores. Further photonic engineering could realize an increase of up to one order of magnitude in the flux of waveguided luminescence.

Σκοπός επί της ουσίας είναι να εξεταστεί το νέο αστικό τοπίο της Αθήνας υπό το πρίσμα των εννοιών, του city branding , του αστικού–καλλιτεχνικού τουρισμού και του gentrification. Τα φαινόμενα αυτά συναντώνται στις περισσότερες ευρωπαϊκές μητροπόλεις και αναδύονται στο επίκεντρο καθώς οι ίδιες οι πόλεις  σήμερα ανάγονται θα μπορούσαμε να πούμε σε  νέα επικερδή «εμπορεύματα». Η περίπτωση της Αθήνας είναι ιδιαίτερη, καθώς το «βεβαρημένο» ιστορικό της παρελθόν, σε συνδυασμό  με την αποτύπωση της οικονομικής χρεοκοπίας της Ελλάδας στο οικιστικό της ανάγλυφο, αποτέλεσαν πρόσφορο έδαφος αστικών αλλαγών και αξιοποίησης του δημόσιου της χώρου.

description: We apply topologicial data analysis techniques to study the dewetting of thin polymer films. In particular we apply the method known as persistent homology to simulations of dewetting from Peschka et al. "Signatures of slip in dewetting polymer films" (PNAS, 2019) in order to characterize the interaction between slip length and dewetting stability. Persistent homology counts topological structures such as holes in datasets in a resolution independent way, while dewetting is a behavior in fluid dynamics where a thin film retracts from a surface. We find that persistent homology is able to recover many of the critical properties of dewetting including rim height and droplet count, using movies of evolving persistence diagrams. We also identify a phase transition in the dewetting film at the first break off of a droplet, which signifies the change from stable to unstable behavior. Finally we compare experiment and simulation from Peschka et al. using a principal component analysis.

description: Background: Many genome-wide association studies focus on associating single loci with target phenotypes. However, in the setting of rare variation, accumulating sufficient samples to assess these associations can be difficult. Moreover, multiple variations in a gene or a set of genes within a pathway may all contribute to the phenotype, suggesting that the aggregation of variations found over the gene or pathway may be useful for improving the power to detect associations. Results: Here, we present a method for aggregating single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) along biologically relevant pathways in order to seek genetic associations with phenotypes. Our method uses all available genetic variants and does not remove those in linkage disequilibrium (LD). Instead, it uses a novel SNP weighting scheme to down-weight the contributions of correlated SNPs. We apply our method to three cohorts of patients taking warfarin: two European descent cohorts and an African American cohort. Although the clinical covariates and key pharmacogenetic loci for warfarin have been characterized, our association metric identifies a significant association with mutations distributed throughout the pathway of warfarin metabolism. We improve dose prediction after using all known clinical covariates and pharmacogenetic variants in VKORC1 and CYP2C9. In particular, we find that at least 1% of the missing heritability in warfarin dose may be due to the aggregated effects of variations in the warfarin metabolic pathway, even though the SNPs do not individually show a significant association. Conclusions: Our method allows researchers to study aggregative SNP effects in an unbiased manner by not preselecting SNPs. It retains all the available information by accounting for LD-structure through weighting, which eliminates the need for LD pruning.

The role of formal and non-formal education for children’s empowerment and as a prevention tool from violence
Creators: name: Binazzi, Alice
Publisher: name: Comparative Cultural Studies - European and Latin American Perspectives
Year: 2016

description: This work is part of an on-going anthropological research, with marginalized children and adolescents in Central America and, in particular, in the Dominican Republic. It builds upon a previous ethnographic field research, by the author, whose core acquired data and research findings constitute a parameter and an interpretation tool for current qualitative analysis and updating, on this subject. The qualitative analysis of this work develops in the overall framework of the international legal standards for children’s rights and their local implementation. This article analyses the case of the Dominican Republic, where school’s failure in giving appropriate rights-based and life skills-based education, often affects children’s fullest development and their access to a free choice for their future life. It also intends to underline the role played by a few local associations offering non-formal education and trying to compensate the gaps of formal education, at school, and of informal education, within family, in the purpose of achieving children’s empowerment. This work is also an introduction to the approach, developed by the author, of anthropology of/for children’s rights.

description: We explore here a new mechanism by which the out of equilibrium decay of heavy gravitinos, followed by possible R-parity violating decays in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) can generate the baryon asymmetry of the universe. In this mechanism, gravitino decay produces a CP-asymmetry that is carried by squarks or sleptons. These particles then decay through R-parity violating operators generating a lepton asymmetry. The lepton asymmetry is converted into a baryon asymmetry by weak sphalerons, as in the familiar case of leptogenesis by Majorana neutrino decays. To ensure that the gravitino decays while the sphaleron is still in equilibrium, we obtain a lower bound on the gravitino mass, $m_{3/2} \gtrsim 10^{8} \GeV$, and therefore our mechanism requires a high scale of SUSY breaking, as well as minimum reheating temperature after inflation of $T\gtrsim 10^{12} \GeV$ in order to for the gravitino density to be sufficiently large to generate the baryon asymmetry today. We consider each of the MSSM's relevant R-parity violating operators in turn, and derive constraints on parameters in order to give rise to a baryon asymmetry comparable to that observed today, consistent with low energy phenomenological bounds on SUSY models.

description: Sarcopenia in patients with colorectal cancer is associated with increased postoperative complications and poor survival outcomes. Although previous studies have reported conflicting results regarding the association between obesity and all-cause mortality in colorectal cancer patients, one review reported that higher visceral adiposity is associated with increased all-cause mortality. Although sarcopenic obesity in colorectal cancer may have poor prognosis, the prevalence and diagnostic methods of sarcopenic obesity remain unclear. A better understanding of sarcopenic obesity in colorectal cancer patients can facilitate improved nutrition and rehabilitation interventions and promote research.

description: We observe an unusual tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) phenomenon in a composite of La$_{2/3}$Sr$_{1/3}$MnO$_{3}$ with CoFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ where the TMR versus applied magnetic field loop suggests a "negative coercive field". Tracing its origin back to a "dipolar-biasing" of La$_{2/3}$Sr$_{1/3}$MnO$_{3}$ by CoFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$, we show that the TMR of even a single composite can be tuned continuously so that the resistance peak or the highest sensitivity of the TMR can be positioned anywhere on the magnetic field axis with a suitable magnetic history of the sample. This phenomenon of an unprecedented tunability of the TMR should be present in general in all such composites.

description: This article tries to shed light on the mode of construction and the processes put in place within an international European project based on action research. What happens when you have to bring into a local context an idea created in a transnational framework? What are the ways to structure a process leaving within it freedom of action to all parts involved? Very interesting is to look at that gray and nuanced area where the “diversities” concentrate and enter into a relationship (sometimes clashing): the intents and cultural-conceptual models of the project designers, the historical-political contexts, the realities of individual countries, the local context, the actions of individual researchers, the actions/reactions of the beneficiaries of the project and so on. In concrete, it will be treated the process of design and construction of the professional role of the “network facilitator” within the European project LeFAMsol (Learning for Female African Migrants’ Solidarity: Help-Desks for Female African Migrants in the Eastern Mediterranean Region) by following its development beyond the end of the project. We will look at the techniques used and the strategies implemented to translate an idea into a figure that reflects the target group and stakeholders needs, functionally inserting in the local social environment. Highlighting the constructive tension that drives this process, it will be advanced an ethical and methodological proposal with a spiral path (experiencing/understanding/giving feedback) that should permeate these projects at every stage: from its design to its implementation respecting the needs of the parts involved (researchers and beneficiaries) and the contexts in which they’re inserted.

description: San Carlos de Bariloche city, in argentinian Patagonia, experienced a demographic and urban growth in which international and internal migration had a significant role. These migrants have built “new” neighborhoods through which the city has expanded, following a dispersed city model. This fast growth deepened a pattern of polarized and strong socioterritorial inequalities, which is distinctive of cities with neoliberal models development. In this context, the last fifteen years, popular sectors have experienced new partnership strategies developed largely by women with strong neighborhood leadership, many of them are also migrants. These new strategies were concreted through the most legitimate neighborhood institutions in the middle cities of argentinian Patagonia: Neighborhood Councils. In this paper, we study, on the one hand, the resistance processes at a neighborhood scale, headed by women, through a particular event that has been the controversial installation of a Walmart`s supermarket (called Changomas) which led to the implementation of a referendum. Moreover, we will analize the tensions and conflicting speeches - through in-depth interviews and main local newspapers analysis- that have contributed the formation of a hegemonic imaginary based on binary representations of the city: one designed for tourism (“the Swiss Argentina”) and the other for the popular sectors in the periphery (“El Alto”).

Universalism Entails Extensionalism

description: Universalism (also known as Conjunctivism, or Collectivism) is the thesis that mereological composition is unrestricted. More precisely: Any non-empty collection of things has a fusion, i.e., something that has all those things as parts and has no part that is disjoint from each of them. Extensionalism is the thesis that sameness of composition is sufficient for identity. More precisely: No two things have exactly the same proper parts (unless they are atomic, i.e., have no proper parts at all). Clearly these two theses are not equivalent. They are, however, more closely related than one might think.  More precisely, the entailment holds as long as it is agreed that the following postulates are constitutive of the meaning of ‘part’: Transitivity: Any part of any part of a thing is itself part of that thing. Supplementation: Whenever a thing has a proper part, it has at least another part that is disjoint from the first.

description: International migration towards Argentina have remained constant since the first national population census in 1869. Actually, Argentina is the chosen destination by migrants because of its geographical location and because of the migrant´s law that guarantees migrants rights and equal treatment, this point guarantees work possibilities and access to educations and health care. This work begins from study of contemporary migration with the propose of analyzing how educational speech tests the migrant students pupils performance in public and private primary schools in the city of Rosario. Migrants are in a visible place in the Argentina society, and teachers evidence what society built around migrants. This article is part of a wider investigation (2009-2012) in which we seek to investigate the inclusive actions from an intercultural approach and to indentify possible discrimination actions at schools and to note the processes of identity construction in migrant students. The focus target has been done in eight primary schools localized in different places of the city. Three techniques of data collection were used: interview, survey and observation from a qualitative and quantitative approach, prioritizing the qualitative. We have done a triangulation of all the information with the propose of reaching accuracy conclusions. In this opportunity we share the analysis about acts of discrimination in the primary schools.

description: We present simulation results on the structure and dynamics of micromagnetic point singularities with atomistic resolution. This is achieved by embedding an atomistic computational region into a standard micromagnetic algorithm. Several length scales are bridged by means of an adaptive mesh refinement and a seamless coupling between the continuum theory and a Heisenberg formulation for the atomistic region. The code operates on graphical processing units and is able to detect and track the position of strongly inhomogeneous magnetic regions. This enables us to reliably simulate the dynamics of Bloch points, which means that a fundamental class of micromagnetic switching processes can be analyzed with unprecedented accuracy. We test the code by comparing it with established results and present its functionality with the example of a simulated field-driven Bloch point motion in a soft-magnetic cylinder.

Ma è lí. è lì perché è l ì che Torino comincia (o finisce, per chi venisse da dentro). Uno dice “Ah” e tira dritto. Eppure in quel cartello conficcato nel terreno si nasconde una lunga storia; nel varcare quella linea di confine si entra in uno spazio nuovo al cui interno, magicamente separati da tutto il resto, ci si chiama torinesi—si parla la stessa lingua, ci si affida alle stesse autorità, ci si batte per risolvere gli stessi problemi e migliorare la qualità di una vita in comune. I confini sono fatti cos ì: sono linee sottili ma potenti; linee che, separando, uniscono; linee definitore che spesso non riusciamo a vedere perchénon risiedono nelle cose, ma solo nei segni a matita dei cartografi e nei vomeri immaginari degli amministratori, e dalle quali tuttavia dipende il nostro senso di appartenenza a un luogo; linee per le quali, ahimè, a volte si è anche combattuto, sebbene oggi scompaiano sempre più nella confusione delle tangenziali, dei cavalcavia, dei raccordi, delle rotatorie, delle serpentesche circonvoluzioni che svaniscono tra zone industriali, aree di residua campagna, retroscena di distributori invecchiati male.

description: We continue the study of local $Tb$ theorems for square functions defined in the upper half-space $(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_+, μ\times dt/t)$. Here $μ$ is allowed to be a non-homogeneous measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In this paper we prove a boundedness result assuming local $L^q$ type testing conditions in the difficult range $q \in (1,2)$. Our theorem is a non-homogeneous version of a result of S. Hofmann valid for the Lebesgue measure. It is also an extension of the recent results of M. Lacey and the first named author where non-homogeneous local $L^2$ testing conditions have been considered.

description: The application of biometric identification technology has been applied extensively in modern society. EEG pattern recognition method is oneof the key biometric identification technologies for advanced secure and reliable identification technology. This paper introduces a novel EEG pattern recognition method based on Segmented EEG Graph using PLA (SEGPA)model, which incorporates the novel self-adjusting time series dependency method. In such a model, the dynamic time-dependency method has been applied in the recognition process. The preliminary experimental results indicate that the proposed method can produce a reasonable recognition outcome.

description: In Mexico, linguistic diversity is a right protected by various initiatives and laws. However, the ethno-linguistic mosaic found in Mexico due to the multicultural nature of the population, has not been properly addressed by online public policies. This study presents an assessment of the indigenous language provision on Mexican government websites at a federal, state and local level. Its principal results show that practically no indigenous-language content is available on such e-Government sites, and highlight accessibility issues in some State Governments. This leaves the Mexican indigenous population in a situation of great inequality that poses a huge threat to their information access rights.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Sun has been known to rotate for more than 4 centuries, and evidence is also available through direct measurements, that almost all stars rotate. In this lecture, I will propose a review of the different physical processes associated to rotation that are expected to impact the evolution of stars. I will describe in detail the way these physical processes are introduced in 1D stellar evolution codes and how their introduction in the modelling has impacted our understanding of the internal structure, nucleosynthesis and global evolution of stars.

description: Aligning software-related activities with corporate strategies and goals is increasingly important for several reasons such as increasing the customer satisfaction in software-based products and services. Several approaches have been proposed to create such an alignment. GQM+Strategies is an approach that applies measurement principles to link goals and strategies on different levels of an organisation. In this paper, we describe experiences from applying GQM+Strategies to elicit, link, and align the goals of an integrated systems product development organisation across multiple organisational levels. We provide insights into how GQM+Strategies was applied during a five- month period. The paper presents the enacted application process and main lessons learnt. In addition, related approaches are described and an outlook on future work is given.

description: An industrial nanocoating process air emissions impact on public health was quantified by using the burden of disease (BoD) concept. The health loss was calculated in Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), which is an absolute metric that enables comparisons of the health impacts of different causes. Here, the health loss was compared with generally accepted risk levels for air pollution. Exposure response functions were not available for Ag nanoform. The health loss for TiO2 nanoform emissions were 0.0006 DALYs per 100,000 persons per year. Moreover, the exposure risk characterization was performed by comparing the ground level air concentrations with framework values. The exposure levels were ca. 3 and 18 times lower than the derived limit values of 0.1 µg-TiO2/m3 and 0.01 µg-Ag/m3 for the general population. The accumulations of TiO2 and Ag nanoforms on the soil top layer were estimated to be up to 85 µg-TiO2/kg and 1.4 µg-Ag/kg which was considered low as compared to measured elemental TiO2 and Ag concentrations. This assessment reveals that the spray coating process air emissions are adequately controlled. This study demonstrated how the BoD concept can be applied to quantify health impacts of nanoform outdoor air emissions from an industrial site.

description: We compute the ground state energy of two atoms in a one-dimensional geometry of a harmonic optical trap. We obtain a dependence of the energy on a one-dimensional scattering length, which corresponds to various strengths of the interaction potential of a gaussian type. The calculation is performed by numerical and analytical methods. For the analytical method we choose the oscillator representation method (OR), which has been successfully applied to computations of bound states of various few-body systems. The main results of this paper are: 1) numerical investigation of the validity range of the previously used pseudopotential method; 2) investigation of the validity range of the OR for a superposition of parabolic and gaussian potentials.

The Vagueness of ‘Vague’: Rejoinder to Hull

description: Is ‘vague’ vague? Why so much fuss about a single word? One reason, I think, is that a lot depends on how we settle the question. For example, Frege famously remarked that logic must be restricted to non-vague predicates. But if ‘vague’ is vague, then so is ‘non-vague’, hence the restriction is itself vague and, therefore, helpless. For another example, incoherence theorists such as Unger have claimed that vague terms have no clear instances, blocking the sorites paradox at the base step. If ‘vague’ is vague, however, then either it is a clear instance of itself, in which case the incoherentist claim is plainly false, or it has an empty extension, in which case the claim is vacuously true (there are no vague predicates) and the paradox strikes back. Finally, if ‘vague’ is vague, then—as Hyde has argued—vague predicates must suffer from the phenomenon of higher-order vagueness (at least some must, if Tye is right). So I agree with Hull: this is no small issue and we need to look at it closely
