title: Energy Efficiency and Fluctuations in CO2 Emissions
Creators: name: Jo, Soojin

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2021

description: "Can emissions be mitigated without limiting economic growth? Researchers have commonly modelled carbon dioxide emissions to rise and fall with total economic activity. This implies a short-term trade-off between environmental protection and economic growth. Yet many factors, such as changes to energy efficiency, extreme weather or shifts to cleaner energy sources, can break this relationship.
Our study is the first to evaluate the importance of these factors for emissions in the United States. We estimate a series of statistical innovations that reduce emissions without lowering economic activity. This series explains a significant proportion of fluctuations in emissions. Based on a broad analysis of the impulse responses of macroeconomic and environmental variables, we conclude that the estimated series mainly reflects changes in the energy efficiency of consumption goods.
Our results suggest that models that do not incorporate changes to energy efficiency may overestimate the short-term trade-off between environmental protection and economic performance. Our findings also provide empirical support for the role of energy efficiency improvements, particularly in the residential sector, in mitigating emissions without slowing economic growth."

description: "Est-il possible de réduire les émissions de dioxyde de carbone (CO2) sans limiter la croissance économique? Dans les modèles courants, ces émissions augmentent ou diminuent avec l’activité économique globale, ce qui implique un arbitrage à court terme entre la protection de l’environnement et la croissance économique. Toutefois, plusieurs facteurs, tels que les changements touchant l’efficacité énergétique, les phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes et la transition à des sources d’énergie plus propres, peuvent briser cette relation.

Nous sommes les premières à évaluer l’importance de ces facteurs sur les émissions de CO2 aux États-Unis. Pour ce faire, nous estimons une série de chocs qui réduisent les émissions de CO2 sans que l’activité économique diminue. Cette série explique une part importante des fluctuations des émissions de CO2. En nous basant sur une analyse étendue des profils de réaction des variables macroéconomiques et environnementales, nous concluons que la série estimée reflète principalement les changements touchant l’efficacité énergétique des biens de consommation.

Nos résultats indiquent que les modèles qui ne tiennent pas compte des changements touchant l’efficacité énergétique peuvent surestimer l’arbitrage à court terme entre la protection de l’environnement et la performance économique. De plus, ces résultats empiriques corroborent le rôle des gains d’efficacité énergétique, particulièrement dans le secteur résidentiel, pour réduire les émissions de CO2 sans pour autant ralentir la croissance économique."
title: Perceptions and Persistence: A Multifaceted Exploration of the Hypnagogic State and Unfinished Intentions
Creators: name: Ghibellini, Romain
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 150 Psychology

description: The present dissertation explores two research topics: The perceptions during the hypnagogic state and the persistence of incompleted intentions. The hypnagogic state refers to the transition between wakefulness and sleep, in which vivid perceptions can occur across all modalities. A literature review identified a lack of consensus on their definition, prevalence and characteristics. A subsequent questionnaire study assessed their prevalence, modality, and characteristics compared to other phenomena. Hypnagogic states occurred quite frequently in the population, characterized by a predominant emergence in the kinaesthetic modality. Regarding the persistence of unfinished intentions, the focus was put on the memory advantage of interrupted tasks, called the Zeigarnik effect, and the tendency to resume interrupted tasks, called the Ovsiankina effect. To investigate both effects, a meta-analytical approach was employed, with a subsequent experimental replication attempt using videogames. Results showed a general resumption tendency of unfinished intentions, but no memory advantage. Following these results, the memory advantage was investigated using anagrams. Here, a memory advantage of interrupted tasks could be observed but could not be related to the Zeigarnik effect, questioning the effect's validity. Finally, research into the phenomenology and function of the hypnagogic state seems particularly promising. Regarding unfinished intentions, research should focus on their underlying neurological mechanisms, as their resumption tendency seems apparent and their memory advantage unreplicable.

description: The volatility index of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (VIX) is the first to have been introduced and it has attracted international imitators world-wide since it is considered as a barometer of investor fear. The aim of the paper is threefold. First, by following the VIX methodology, we construct a volatility index for three European countries (Austria, Finland and Spain) that do not have yet that piece of market information for investors. Second, we investigate the properties of the new volatility indices. In particular, we test their ability to act as fear indicators and as predictors of future returns. Moreover, we shed light on the term structure of the proposed volatility indices, by computing spot and forward implied volatility indices for different time to maturities (30, 60 and 90 days). Our results indicate that volatility indices are useful not only for investors to improve their trading decisions, but also for policy makers to choose the appropriate economic measure to guarantee stability in the market.
title: Alcohol, Abstinence, Efficacy, and Social Normative Expectancies: The Relationship to Alcoholics' Level of Drinking Following Inpatient Treatment
Creators: name: Toohill, Martin John
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: It has been argued that individuals receiving traditional alcohol treatment do not necessarily perceive life-long abstinence from alcohol as a favorable treatment outcome, and that negative expectations associated with this abstinence goal may have an adverse effect on treatment outcome. However, "abstinence expectancies" have never been systematically explored. This study used the Theory of Planned Behavior to investigate the relationship between the abstinence outcome expectancies of alcoholics beginning treatment and subsequent alcohol consumption. The independent and combined effects of abstinence outcome expectancies, alcohol outcome expectancies, self-efficacy expectancies (to abstain from alcohol use), and the normative beliefs of individuals beginning inpatient abstinence-oriented alcohol treatment were related to level of drinking during the 90 days following treatment.
One hundred ten individuals receiving inpatient alcohol treatment were recruited for the main portion of this study. A questionnaire that included belief-based measures of attitude toward alcohol and abstinence, a belief-based measure of social normative pressure to either use or abstain from alcohol, a belief-based measure of one's perceived behavioral control to abstain from alcohol, and a measure of behavioral intention to use alcohol during the 3 months following treatment was developed for use in this study. The questionnaire was administered to all subjects. During the 90-day Follow-Up period, subjects were sent brief questionnaires and asked to report any alcohol or drug use. Eighty-nine percent of the subjects provided follow-up information for the first 30 days, while 76% provided information for the entire 90 days.
An analysis of the data indicated that scores obtained from the belief-based measure of perceived behavioral control and scores from the belief-based measure of attitude toward abstinence were moderately correlated with intention to abstain from alcohol, while alcohol attitude scores and subjective norm scores were uncorrelated. Contrary to expectations, scores obtained from a measure of intention to use alcohol and the measure of perceived behavioral control were minimally predictive of scores from follow-up measures of drinking. However, intention and perceived behavioral control were minimally predictive of scores from follow-up measures of drinking. However, intention and perceived behavioral control scores were somewhat more predictive of drug use for the 90-day Follow-Up period. These results were discussed in light of the Theory of Planned Behavior and the similarities between alcohol expectancies and drug expectancies.
title: Effects of Parent Training on Increased Knowledge and Changes in Perceptions Regarding Transition to Adulthood for Middle School Youth with Disabilities
Creators: name: Wright, Lauren E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Parents of children with severe/moderate disabilities experience uncertainty and a lack of knowledge as their children go through the transition to adulthood. Research has shown parents play a key role in their child's postschool outcome success and that parent training and beginning transition preparation early are key predictors. This study examined the effects of parent training on parents' knowledge, expectations, and action towards their child's transition to adulthood. Participants consisted of parents of middle school youth with severe/moderate disabilities. The study measured parent knowledge, expectations, and actions. Procedures involved (a) a pretest administered to parents on their transition knowledge, (b) a training session highlighting successful examples of similar individuals with disabilities in the transition process, information on transition services, and action goals that participants can begin working on now; and (c) a posttest on parent knowledge and expectations. The mean scores on parent expectations and knowledge increased from the pretest to posttest. Additionally, parents were given an assignment to be completed after the training session as a measure of their action to assist their child towards transition. The researcher contacted participants 2 weeks following training to determine if the assignment was completed. Seventy-one percent of participants indicated they worked on their assignment during the 2-week follow-up phone call. Based on these results, parent training in this study was associated with increased parent expectations, knowledge, and actions.

title: The Relationships of Gender and Age with Peer Acceptance in Primary-Grade, Multiage Classrooms at Edith Bowen Laboratory School
Creators: name: Shuster, Thomas Anthony
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: This study describes the effects of gender and age on peer acceptance in primary-grade, multiage classrooms at Edith Bowen Laboratory School at Utah State University. The population described consisted of six multiage classrooms composed of male and female students from 6 to 8 years old. The classrooms were approximately balanced by gender and age. Students spent the entire day and received all instruction in the multiage setting.
Students completed "Work With" and "Play With" sociometric rating-scale instruments. For both instruments, results revealed the existence of "gender cleavage"--both genders preferred work and play partners of their own gender. In general, age accounted for more variance in peer acceptance scores for older students than younger students. However, eta-squared statistics demonstated that except for 8-year-old males, gender accounted for much more of the variance in peer acceptance scores than age.
The correlation coefficient for paired peer acceptance scores for each student on the two instruments was .94. These results support the conclusion that students did not differentiate responses based on "Work With" and "Play With" criteria . Test-retest reliabilities for the "Work With" and "Play With" instruments with a 1-week testing interval were .94 and .92, respectively.
title: Home Visiting for Children with Developmental Delays: An Empirical Evaluation
Creators: name: Black, Tracy L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: Home visiting services have become an important and common component of early intervention for children with developmental delays. Currently, this group of children is the most frequent target of home visiting programs throughout the nation, although research evaluating the effectiveness of these programs is less pervasive. For this reason, a comprehensive analysis of studies within the home visiting literature that specifically focused on children with developmental delays and their families has been conducted. This effort has been accomplished through the process of meta-analysis. In addition to the computation of standardized mean difference effect sizes, emphasis was also placed on identifying the salient sample, intervention, and outcome characteristics of this group of studies.
Results are discussed in terms of ecological validity or how well the findings of the study generalize to the world of practice, policy, additional research, and training in the field of home visiting. Overall, much of what we are observing in the research is applicable to current practice, specifically in regard to the home visiting procedure. However, discrepancies between research and practice have been found in regard to the target of the intervention and the training of the home visitor.
A biological basis for the Tasmanian freshwater eel fishery

Year: 2023

description: This thesis reports a five year investigation into various aspects of the biology of the freshwater eels Anguilla australis australis and Anguilla reinhardtii in Tasmania, from the tine of first entry of glass-eels into fresh water to the returning migration of adult eels to the sea. The invasion of fresh water by glass-eels of both species was studied in streams on the east coast of Tasmania. A. reinhardtii glass-eels were found to enter fresh water mainly during February, March and April whereas A. a. australis glass-eels exhibited a more extensive influx from March through to November. For both species the stage of pigmentation of glass-eels was found to advance as the season progressed and length, weight and condition showed an initial decline with advancing pigmentation. The otoliths of invading glass-eels of both species appeared similar with a single summer growth ring indicating a larval life of between 12 and 18 months.
The Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence
Creators: name: Yagi, Toshiyuki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: For any two differential modules M and N over a graded differential k-algebra Λ (k a commutative ring), there Is a spectral sequence Er, called the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence, having the following properties: Er converges to Tor Λ (M,N) and E2=TorH(Λ) (H(M),H(N)). This algebraic set-up gives rise to a "geometric" spectral sequence in algebraic topology. Starting with a commutative diagram of topological spaces [diagram omitted] where B Is simply connected, one gets a spectral sequence Er converging to the cohomology H*(X xBY) of the space X xBY, and for which E₂=TorH*(B) (H*(X),H*(Y)). In this thesis we outline a generalization of the above geometric spectral sequence obtained, by first extending the category of topological spaces and then, extending the cohomology theory H* to this larger category. The convergence of the extended spectral sequence does not depend, on any topological conditions of the spaces involved. It follows algebraically from the way the exact couple (from which the spectral sequence Is derived) Is set up and from the Suspension Axiom of the extended cohomology theory.
The evolution of a pre-heated Intergalactic Medium

description: We analyse the evolution of the Intergalactic Medium (IGM) by means of an extended set of large box size hydrodynamical simulations which include pre-heating. We focus on the properties of the z~2 Lyman-alpha forest and on the population of clusters and groups of galaxies at z=0. We investigate the distribution of voids in the Lyman-alpha flux and the entropy-temperature relation of galaxy groups, comparing the simulation results to recent data from high-resolution quasar spectra and from X-ray observations. Pre-heating is included through a simple phenomenological prescription, in which at z=4 the entropy of all gas particles, whose overdensity exceeds a threshold value delta_h is increased to a minimum value K_fl. While the entropy level observed in the central regions of galaxy groups requires a fairly strong pre-heating, with K_fl>100 keV cm^2, the void statistics of the Lyman-alpha forest impose that this pre-heating should take place only in relatively high-density regions, in order not to destroy the cold filaments that give rise to the forest. We conclude that any injection of non-gravitational energy in the diffuse baryons should avoid low-density regions at high redshift and/or take place at relatively low redshift.

title: A Psychometric Evaluation of Five Commonly Used Measures of Family Functioning and How They Correlate with Development of Children with Disabilities
Creators: name: Taylor, Matthew J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: In response to the increased emphasis in early intervention on assessing family functioning, there has been substantial effort over the past 15 years to develop instruments that can measure important aspects of family functioning with families of children with disabilities. While the multitude of recently developed family measures has given researchers and clinicians a variety of instruments from which to choose, research on the quality of the data derived from these instruments has lagged behind. Considering the importance of family functioning in current early intervention programs and the potential impact on the type of intervention delivered, further investigation of the psychometric properties of widely used measures of family functioning seems essential.
The specific purpose of this research was to conduct a full psychometric assessment of five of the most widely used measures of family functioning for families with children with disabilities. The conclusions that can be drawn from this research are as follows: Each of these measures was strengthened by new scoring strategies, showed high reliability, demonstrated strong construct and current validity, and, individually, did not relate strongly to child development. However, when taken as a whole, these measures were very useful for family assessment in early intervention research and early intervention service provision.

description: This present study examined the session-by-session content of group therapy for eating-disordered clients. The main objective of this study was to identify how therapist-client gender match affects group therapy process , regarding the disclosure of important issues relevant to eating-disordered clients. It was hypothesized that the group therapy process for eating-disordered clients would be qualitatively different if therapy was facilitated by a female as opposed to a male therapist. The evaluation of the research question required using an alternating treatments single-subject research design, in which the presentation of treatment conditions was counterbalanced across two therapy groups. The treatments consisted of three therapist conditions (i.e., male therapist only, female therapist-only, or both therapists) that were systematically presented during the study. All group-therapy sessions were videotaped and coded for verbal content. The results suggested that when a female therapist alone was leading group therapy sessions, eating-disordered clients were more inclined to discuss general emotional issues and specific issues involving negative affect. Furthermore, during the male therapist-only conditions, there was a tendency for female group members to talk more about the physical symptoms of eating disorders (i.e., food-related behaviors, body image issues). The relationship of these results regarding their practical implications on therapist knowledge, training, in-session behavior was discussed.

description: The Rao-Blackwell scheme provides an algorithm on how to implement sufficient information into statistical models and is adopted here to deterministic material modeling. Even crude initial predictions are improved significantly by Rao-Blackwellization, which is proven by an error inequality. This is first illustrated by an analytical example of hyperelasticity utilizing knowledge on principal stretches. Rao-Blackwellization improves a 1-d uniaxial strain-energy relation into a 3-d relation that resembles the classical micro-sphere approach. The presented scheme is moreover ideal for data-based approaches, because it supplements existing predictions with additional physical information. A second example hence illustrates the application of Rao-Blackwellization to an artificial neural network to improve its prediction on load paths, which were absent in the original training process.

Whereas scholars in Forced Migration Studies have extensively examined the relation between conflict and displacement, peace has widely been neglected thus far. The symposium and its associated research project sought to address this gap by exploring the various meanings that displaced people ascribe to peace and ways in which they contribute to peaceful conditions. The following report summarizes key points and outcomes that were discussed during the symposium.

Creators: name: Urazbaeva, Nafisa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In this article, we will talk about the Aral Sea and its problems. The daily drying of the Aral Sea and its waters is one of the most global problems of this century, and a lot of work is being done to solve it.Today, significant changes in the environment are taking place on our planet as a result of the negative impact of human activities. In particular, climate changes and various natural disasters are felt in all latitudes of the planet. As a result, the areas covered by forests are destroyed and the atmosphere, water and lithosphere are being polluted.
A note on the iterative solution of weakly nonlinear elliptic control problems with control and state constraints
Creators: name: GALLIGANI, Emanuele
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Matematica Giuseppe Vitali - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2007

description: This work concerns with the solution of optimal control problems by means of nonlinear programming methods. The control problem is transcribed into a finite dimensional nonlinear programming problem by finite difference approximation. An iterative procedure for the solution of this nonlinear program is presented. An extensive numerical analysis of the behaviour of the method is reported on boundary control and distributed control problems with boundary conditions of Dirichlet or Neumann or mixed type.
Pseudo-zero-mode Landau levels and collective excitations in bilayer graphene

description: Bilayer graphene in a magnetic field supports eight zero-energy Landau levels, which, as a tunable band gap develops, split into two nearly-degenerate quartets separated by the band gap. A close look is made into the properties of such an isolated quartet of pseudo-zero-mode levels at half filling in the presence of an in-plane electric field and the Coulomb interaction, with focus on revealing further controllable features in bilayer graphene. The half-filled pseudo-zero-mode levels support, via orbital level mixing, charge carriers with nonzero electric moment, which would lead to field-induced level splitting and the current-induced quantum Hall effect. It is shown that the Coulomb interaction enhances the effect of the in-plane field and their interplay leads to rich spectra of collective excitations, pseudospin waves, accessible by microwave experiments; also a duality in the excitation spectra is revealed.

description: In a reachability-time game, players Min and Max choose moves so that the time to reach a final state in a timed automaton is minimised or maximised, respectively. Asarin and Maler showed decidability of reachability-time games on strongly non-Zeno timed automata using a value iteration algorithm. This paper complements their work by providing a strategy improvement algorithm for the problem. It also generalizes their decidability result because the proposed strategy improvement algorithm solves reachability-time games on all timed automata. The exact computational complexity of solving reachability-time games is also established: the problem is EXPTIME-complete for timed automata with at least two clocks.
Nitrogen assimilation in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum
Creators: name: Sornarajah, R

description: The phytoplankton form the largest group of marine plants. Animal productivity in the oceans is dependent on phytoplankton biomass. Nitrogen is a limiting nutrient and is usually taken up in the form of nitrate. However, there has been very little investigation of the assimilation of nitrate into the aminoacids of phytoplankton. The pathway of nitrate assimilation in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum was investigated. Nitrate is reduced to ammonia by the enzymes nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase. Nitrate reductase was purified to homogeneity (as judged by gel-electrophoresis) by affinity chromatography. The enzyme had an apparent molecular weight of 301,000 and was made up of six sub-units. NADH and reduced flavin acted as donors to the purified enzyme. However, the low Km app for NADH suggests that NADH is the physiological donor. Ammonia formed during nitrate assimilation can be incorporated into glutamate via the glutamate synthase cycle or via glutamate dehydrogenase. Though various assay methods were used, glutamate dehydrogenase was not detected in P. tricornutum even when grown in ammonium chloride. The enzymes which make up the glutamate synthase cycle i.e. glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase were detected in P. tricornutum grown in nitrate. These enzymes were purified using gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The apparent molecular weights of glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase were 280,000 - 360,000 and 282,000 respectively. No other detailed investigation of these enzymes has been reported from any marine plant. Glutamine synthetase appeared to consist of two active forms (GS I and GS II) and, unlike in higher plants, it appeared that the proportion of GS I to GS II depended on the pH and the levels of magnesium and dithiothreitol present in the buffer. Glutamine synthetase had a high affinity for hydroxylamdne, a non-physiological substitute for ammonia. When P. tricornutum was grown in ammonium chloride, the activity of glutamine synthetase decreased and only GS I was found. Glutamate synthase was able to use only NADH as the electron donor. Several assay methods were tried but no methyl-viologen or NADPH-dependent activity was detected in either the crude extract or the purified enzyme. Ferredoxin from spinach which was reduced using dithionite, did not act as a donor to glutamate synthase. Glutamate synthase had a high affinity for NADH and glutamine. It was concluded that the glutamate synthase cycle was the main pathway for ammonium assimilation in the marine diatom P. tricornutum.
