description: The idea of liquidity in France finds expression in more or less the same way as in the other western countries. It is normal practice to distinguish between the “liquidity of the economy” on the one hand, and the “liquidity of the banking system” on the other. The former corresponds to the money supply, while the latter comprises the banks’ holdings of notes and coin and their balances on sight accounts with the Bank of France, together with the total amount of the items which they can put into the Bank of France. The methods of influencing liquidity are also similar to those employed in other countries. However, to make them easier to understand, the present article first recalls certain special features of France’s monetary institutions, namely the banks, the specialised institutions and the Treasury. The author then examines the duel problems of controlling the liquidity of the economy and bank liquidity. JEL: E51, E52, E58, G21

description: We show that the combined dimming of Type Ia supernovae induced by both a cosmological constant and the conversion of photons into axions in extra-galactic magnetic fields can impersonate dark energy with an equation of state w < -1. An observer unaware of the presence of photon-axion conversion would interpret the additional dimming as cosmic acceleration faster than that induced by a cosmological constant alone. We find that this mechanism can mimic equations of state as negative as w \simeq - 1.5. Our model does not have any ghosts, phantoms and the like. It is fully consistent with the conventional effective field theory in curved space, and all existing observational constraints on the axions are obeyed.

description: The North Carolina poultry industry's final point sales exceeded the value of 2.3 billion dollars in 1993. Of that amount, 63 percent is attributed to broiler production and processing, 34 percent to turkeys production and processing, and 3 percent to commercial eggs. Poultry industry was the source of employment for 19,821 North Carolinians, generating a total annual payroll of 332 million dollars. In addition, the poultry industry made payments of almost $215 million to 4,118 contract growers. i In 1993 the industry produced 586 million broilers which represents an increase of 5.5 percent over the previous year. Total live weight produced amounted to 3 billion pounds. Total processed weight was close to 2.4 billion pounds. The final point of sale value for the broiler complex equals 1.4 billion dollars, an increase of 5.4 % over 1992. Payments to broiler contract growers increased 5 percent to $147 million. Turkey production in 1993 reached almost 65 million birds, ah increase of over 11 percent from the previous year. Total number of turkeys processed was close to 53 million, and the processed meat production has reached 953 million pounds. Turkey complex recorded the final point of sale value of $795 million, an 8.3 percent increase over 1992. There were 891 contract growers involved in turkey production collecting close to $62 million. Compared to 1992, the table egg industry experienced no Significant change in 1993. Production remained at about 1.6 billion eggs with the market value of $70 million.

description: The New Horizons spacecraft's encounter with the cold classical Kuiper belt object (486958) Arrokoth (formerly 2014 MU69) revealed a contact-binary planetesimal. We investigate how it formed, finding it is the product of a gentle, low-speed merger in the early Solar System. Its two lenticular lobes suggest low-velocity accumulation of numerous smaller planetesimals within a gravitationally collapsing, solid particle cloud. The geometric alignment of the lobes indicates the lobes were a co-orbiting binary that experienced angular momentum loss and subsequent merger, possibly due to dynamical friction and collisions within the cloud or later gas drag. Arrokoth's contact-binary shape was preserved by the benign dynamical and collisional environment of the cold classical Kuiper belt, and so informs the accretion processes that operated in the early Solar System.

description: We use a simple parameterization of the mid-IR spectra of a wide range of galaxy types in order to predict their distribution in the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) 3.6um, 4.5um, 5.8um, and 8.0um and Multiband Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) 24um color-color diagrams. We distinguish three basic spectral types by the energetically dominant component in the 3--12 micron regime: stellar-dominated; PAH-dominated; and continuum-dominated. We have used a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach to arrive at a more systematic and robust representation of the mid-IR spectra of galaxies than more traditional approaches. We find that IRAC color-color plots are well suited to distinguishing the above spectral types, while the addition of 24 micron data allows us to suggest practical 3-color cuts which preferentially select higher redshift sources of specific type. We compare our simulations with the color-color plot obtained by the Spitzer First Look Survey (FLS) and find reasonable agreement. Lastly, we discuss other applications as well as future directions for this work.

description: Let F be a field containing a primitive pth root of unity, and let U be an open normal subgroup of index p of the absolute Galois group G_F of F. Using the Bloch-Kato Conjecture we determine the structure of the cohomology group H^n(U,Fp) as an Fp[G_F/U]-module for all n in N. Previously this structure was known only for n=1, and until recently the structure even of H^1(U,Fp) was determined only for F a local field, a case settled by Borevic and Faddeev in the 1960s. We apply these results to study partial Euler-Poincare characteristics of open subgroups N of the maximal pro-p quotient T of G_F. We extend the notion of a partial Euler-Poincare characteristic to this case and we show that the nth partial Euler-Poincare characteristic Theta_n(N) is determined only by Theta_n(T) and the conorm in H^n(T,Fp).
description: 30 pages; implemented minor changes suggested by the referee; strengthened Proposition 3 in section 7; now considers partial Euler-Poincare characteristics only in the case when the Galois group of the maximal p-extension of the field F is finitely generated

Subjects: subject: Progressive taxation, fiscal policy, underdeveloped countries, income distribution, balance of payments
subject: E24, E62, H21, O15, F32

description: The arguments for progressive taxation in the nineteenth century were strongly countered by reference to their harmful effects on the incentives to produce, save and invest. This position is still fairly widespread in discussions on what makes a sound fiscal policy for the underdeveloped countries today. The present article argues that progressive taxation corrects the maldistribution of national income, producing additional positive effects in a depressed economy in the process of development, especially as regards investment and the balance of payments. The considerations set out by the author suggest that in underdeveloped countries, progressive taxation must therefore not be regarded only from the point of view of national finance, but from that of the redistribution of income.

description: L’harmonisation de l’assurance qualité et de l’accréditation, couplée à une coopération continentale étroite, contribuera à promouvoir l’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur et à faciliter la mobilité des étudiants et du personnel académique. La Commission de l’Union africaine (CUA) collabore avec les établissements d’enseignement supérieur africains pour promouvoir l’harmonisation et l’assurance qualité en partenariat avec l’Union européenne (UE) et les institutions européennes. L’Association des universités africaines (AUA) a été désignée comme principale agence de l’UA en charge de la mise en œuvre de cette harmonisation dans l’enseignement supérieur en Afrique. L’harmonisation vise à avoir une vue partagée sur les critères et les références de qualité et une méthode équivalente d’évaluation de la qualité. Il est crucial d’harmoniser les références et les critères, de façon à ce que toutes les universités soient réglementées en fonction de références comparables. En effet, l’harmonisation n’implique pas que chaque établissement ou chaque pays soit contraint d’adopter un système uniforme. Cela signifie plutôt que le cadre de base pour l’évaluation de la qualité est équivalent. Une étape importante dans la promotion de l’harmonie au sein du système d’enseignement supérieur africain diversifié est l’établissement d’un cadre d’assurance qualité continental. La CUA a par conséquent initié le développement d’un Cadre panafricain d’assurance qualité et d’accréditation (Pan-African Quality Assurance and Accreditation Framework, PAQAF) afin d’offrir une plateforme continentale en vue d’améliorer la qualité de l’enseignement supérieur et de promouvoir des méthodologies compatibles.

description: We study a Type Ia supernova explosion using large-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations based on reactive fluid dynamics with a simplified mechanism for nuclear reactions and energy release. The initial deflagration stage of the explosion involves a subsonic turbulent thermonuclear flame propagating in the gravitational field of an expanding white dwarf. The deflagration produces an inhomogeneous mixture of unburned carbon and oxygen with intermediate-mass and iron-group elements in central parts of the star. During the subsequent detonation stage, a supersonic detonation wave propagates through the material unburned by the deflagration. The total energy released in this delayed-detonation process, (1.3-1.6)x10^51 ergs, is consistent with a typical range of kinetic energies obtained from observations. In contrast to the deflagration model that releases only about 0.6x10^51 ergs, the delayed-detonation model does not leave carbon, oxygen, and intermediate-mass elements in central parts of a white dwarf. This removes the key disagreement between three-dimensional simulations and observations, and makes a delayed detonation the mostly likely mechanism for Type Ia supernova explosions.

description: The African Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ASG-QA) were developed in 2018 as part of the Pan-African Quality Assurance and Accreditation Framework (PAQAF), which provides a continental framework to harmonise higher education quality assurance systems and promote compatible methodologies, endorsed by the African Union. The ASG-QA were developed following a mapping of existing standards at national and regional levels, a comparison with other existing international standards and guidelines as well as a broad stakeholder consultation. This was done with the support of the HAQAA Initiative – Harmonisation, Accreditation and Quality Assurance in African Higher Education, funded by the European Union in support of its partnership with the African Union. The aim of this Users’ Guide is to further support the implementation of the ASG-QA by providing practical guidance and explanation, including: clarifications to improve the understanding and interpretation of the ASG-QA, particularly related to aspects of individual standards that have proved challenging in the first years of their use; guidance on the implementation of the standards for HEIs and QAAs in the early stages of development; examples of how HEIs and QAAs can demonstrate that they are meeting the commitments of the ASG-QA when undergoing internal or external reviews.

description: A search for the $Zγ$ decay of the Higgs boson, with $Z$ boson decays into pairs of electrons or muons is presented. The analysis uses proton$-$proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The observed data are consistent with the expected background with a $p$-value of 1.3%. An upper limit at 95% confidence level on the production cross-section times the branching ratio for $pp\to H\to Zγ$ is set at 3.6 times the Standard Model prediction while 2.6 times is expected in the presence of the Standard Model Higgs boson. The best-fit value for the signal yield normalised to the Standard Model prediction is $2.0^{+1.0}_{-0.9}$ where the statistical component of the uncertainty is dominant.

title: Professions of love : the discursive construction of love and romance in intimate heterosexual relationships
Creators: name: Burns, Angela Mary
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: For this thesis, my aim was to deconstruct the notion of heterosexual love in order to question if and how current stories of love are involved in producing gender inequality. Using discourse analysis, informed by feminist theory, I analysed, in detail, qualitative interviews with eleven women and eleven men about their most important intimate heterosexual relationships and their experiences of love.

 The traditional view of romantic love as a symbol of freedom and redemption has been challenged by feminist arguments that romantic love obscures male privilege in intimate heterosexual relationships. Mainstream social psychological research has tended to measure and categorize 'love' with little regard to wider historical and social contexts which means that the few in-depth explorations of the complex meanings of love are primarily sociological. Where some research has suggested that gender inequality may proceed from women's investment in romance and men's in emotional illiteracy (e.g. Jackson, 1993; Langford, 1999), others conceive that a wider democratization of social life is producing a shift to more rational and equitable intimate relationships (e.g. Giddens, 1992; Illouz, 1997).

 My findings demonstrate that talk of love is extremely complex while also cliched and inchoate. I identified two broad and pervasive discourses, in tension with each other - the discourse of romantic love and the work discourse of love and intimacy. The romantic discourse was inextricably inscribed with discourses of emotion where the work discourse was associated with doing rather than feeling. The work discourse allowed the male interviewees, in particular, to construct relationships as contexts for their own personal growth work and exercise of expertise. The democratization of heterosexual love may not be well underway if a shift to rational intimacy involves a transformation of romantic feeling into a narcissistic discourse of personal success. I also identified how male privilege was instantiated in discourses of infidelity.

Preschoolers making sense of progressive illness : a Reggio Emilia inspired study
Creators: name: Phillips, Lynda Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This qualitative study, inspired by the underlying pedagogy of the preschools in Reggio Emilia, Italy, expands on current limited research on young children's understanding of their siblings' progressive life-limiting illness. Two well siblings three-to-five year-old participated in a learning group with three other preschool children in five two-hour sessions. Sessions were co-constructed from the children's understanding and recorded using digital video and audiotape, still photographs and the running record format. All of the children's representations were collected. These records of the children's learning formed the data for this study. The data was analyzed via microgenetic analysis of the children's movement through all quadrants of the Vygotsky Space. The quadrants of the Vygotsky space are formed by over laying two dimensions of space: public - private and social - individual. The first dimension public-private space is characterized by the degree to which cognitive activities are visible and therefore available for observation. The second dimension social - individual, reflects the degree to which the students use their own knowledge or the knowledge obtained from the group. Movement through the quadrants is recursive and at any one time a child's cognitive functioning may be characterized as existing in one of these quadrants (Gavelek & Raphael, 1996). Microgentic analysis is associated with the work of Vygotsky and allows for the systematic analysis of children's learning. Microgenetic analysis allows one to focus on the process of change by examining the records of the children's learning (digital-video and audio taped recordings; running records; still photographs; children's representations) through densely spaced time intervals. It allows one to see where the learning begins and how the individual difference in knowledge affect the learning of the group. The results are presented in the form of pedagogical documentation, which is a tool that has its origins in the schools of Reggio Emilia. The young, well siblings, generally considered to be at risk for numerous psychosocial issues, demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of illness concepts, processes and equipment not previously identified within current literature. These findings suggest that young children's understanding revolves around the illness process and as such has implications around content when developing support programs for the young, well sibling.

description: Per ottenere delle lezioni di qualità e per agevolare l’apprendimento, sia di bambini con bisogni particolari che non, è necessario creare un ambiente scolastico positivo. I rituali aiutano a raggiungere questo scopo e sono quindi fondamentali per i processi d’insegnamento e apprendimento. Nonostante ciò, essi non compaiono né nel piano di studio ticinese né in quello grigionese. Nemmeno nella letteratura italofona troviamo strumenti didattici su questo tema. Ciò lascia presupporre che il metodo del rituale venga poco vissuto nelle scuole della Svizzera Italiana. Con questo lavoro ci si è posti l’obiettivo di creare una raccolta di rituali per la scuola, come fonte di ispirazione e motivazione per i docenti italofoni. Quarantotto insegnanti si son dichiarati disponibili ad esaminare lo strumento elaborato. Dai risultati emerge che, nonostante le premesse teoriche non siano favorevoli, i rituali sono già presenti nell’insegnamento di molti docenti. Lo strumento viene quindi percepito come una conferma e un arricchimento a ciò che viene già svolto.

description: Inflationary cosmology provides a successful paradigm for solving several problems, notably the generation of density perturbations which seed the formation of observed cosmic structure. We show how to use inverse scattering theory as the basis for the inflationary reconstruction program, the goal of which is to gain information about the physics which drives inflation. Inverse scattering theory provides an effective and well-motivated procedure, having a sound mathematical basis and being of sufficient generality that it can be considered the foundation for a non-parametric reconstruction program. We show how simple properties of the power spectrum translate directly into statements about the evolution of the background geometry during inflation.

The most commonly used are the averting behavior and contingent valuation methods. Reviews of the applied valuation literature reveals a wide range of willingness to pay estimates for protection of drinking water quality. We provide a brief assessment of this literature, including a discussion of the validity of the studies and the potential for transferring these estimates for use in policy analysis. In general, benefits transfer is feasible but questions remain regarding the accuracy of these transfers. Comparative research with revealed and stated preference approaches with benefit transfer applications is needed.

description: SARS-CoV-2 survives and remains viable on surfaces for several days under different environments as reported in recent studies. However, it is unclear how the viruses survive for such a long time and why their survivability varies across different surfaces. To address these questions, we conduct systematic experiments investigating the evaporation of droplets produced by a nebulizer and human-exhaled gas on surfaces. We found that these droplets do not disappear with evaporation, but instead shrink to a size of a few micrometers (referred to as residues), persist for more than 24 hours, and are highly durable against changes of environmental conditions. The characteristics of these residues change significantly across surface types. Specifically, surfaces with high thermal conductivity like copper do not leave any resolvable residues, while stainless steel, plastic, and glass surfaces form residues from a varying fraction of all deposited droplets at 40% relative humidity. Lowering humidity level suppresses the formation of residues while increasing humidity level enhances it. Our results suggest that these microscale residues can potentially insulate the virus against environmental changes, allowing them to survive inhospitable environments and remain infectious for prolonged durations after deposition. Our findings can also be extended to other viruses transmitted through respiratory droplets (e.g., SARS-CoV, flu viruses, etc.), and can thus lead to practical guidelines for disinfecting surfaces and other prevention measures (e.g., humidity control) for limiting viral transmission.

description: The primary objective of this report is to present background information on practices and costs applicable to the production of annual lespedeza in the Piedmont section of Georgia. The information on which this report is based was obtained by personal inter- views with farmers selected at random in Barrow, Clarke, Floyd, Green, Jackson, Madison, Newton, Oglethorpe, Pike, Spalding,and Walton counties. The sequence and kinds of operations, labor requirements,and material inputs vary from one farm to another. The data are averages of actual experiences observed on the sample farms and should be fairly typical of production practices and costs in all similar cases. Labor requirements and costs are shown separately for farms on which mule power was used and for those on which tractor power was used., Labor requirements and costs are also shown separately for lespedeza production for hay and lespedeza production for seed.

description: We study single top quark production at the HERA and THERA colliders as coming from the FCNC vertices tcgamma and tcZ that appear at one loop level in Topcolor-assisted technicolor models (TC2). In contrast with previous expectations, we find that the production cross section is of order 10^-6 pb for HERA and 10^-4 pb for THERA (even lower that the SM prediction). Therefore, none of the two colliders are capable to probe the pseudoscalar top-pion or the scalar top-higgs predicted in TC2 models via single top production.

description: Eccezzion fatta per gli Stati Uniti e il Regno Unito, il 45% delle riserve ufficiali di tutti i paesi estranei al blocco sovietico è costituito da dollari e sterline. Benchè le operazioni del fondo Monetario Internazionale abbiano sopperito in parte alle necessità di riserve aggiuntive, esse sono state a volte causa di pressione sui centri di riserva. Se venisse ristabilito l’equilibro nei pagamenti mondiali, le riserve attuali, purchè integrate dalle quote del Fondo, sarebbero adeguate.

description: Az EU csatlakozást követően a növénytermeléssel foglalkozó gazdaságok esetében – a támogatások emelkedésének hatására – jelentősen növekedhet a jövedelem. A gabonaféléknél a támogatástöbbleten túl az intervenciós felvásárlási rendszer még tovább növeli, egyben kiszámíthatóbbá is teszi az egy hektárra jutó eredményt, melynek jelenlegi értéke megkétszereződhet. A napraforgónál – miután ára nem szabályozott – , a jövedelmi viszonyokban jelentős változás nem következik be, a prognosztizált árcsökkenés kompenzálja a támogatási többletet. A közösségi szabályozás átvétele következtében – kizárólag az értékesítési ár emelkedésének hatására – megközelítően 80%-kal nőhet a cukorrépa egy hektárra vetített jövedelme, s ez az ágazat adja egyben a legnagyobb jövedelmet. A növénytermelésben a termelési költségeknek inflációt meghaladó mértékű növekedése várható. A verseny-, és a koncentrációs folyamatok erősödése miatt a jövőben szinte elkerülhetetlen a termelőknek valamilyen formában történő együttműködése, termelésük és értékesítésük koordinálása. --------------- Following EU accession the income of crop production companies may increase significantly due to increased support. In addition to increased cereal subsidies, the system of intervention buying may further increase, perhaps even double the value of produce per hectare, while at the same time it allows company income to be more easily predictable. The price of sunflower seed is not regulated therefore the income from its cultivation is not expected to change; in creased subsidy will be offset by predicted decrease in price. As a consequence of adopting community regulations the income from sugar beat per hectare may rise by 80% due to an enhanced market price, rendering the sector the most profitable. Expected increases in production costs in crop cultivation may exceed the rate of inflation. Due to competition and trends toward production concentration the cooperation of producers and the coordination of their production and marketing will in future be unavoidable.

description: Invariant manifolds provide the geometric structures for describing and understanding dynamics of nonlinear systems. The theory of invariant manifolds for both finite and infinite dimensional autonomous deterministic systems, and for stochastic ordinary differential equations is relatively mature. In this paper, we present a unified theory of invariant manifolds for infinite dimensional {\em random} dynamical systems generated by {\em stochastic} partial differential equations. We first introduce a random graph transform and a fixed point theorem for non-autonomous systems. Then we show the existence of generalized fixed points which give the desired invariant manifolds.

description: A dispersive wave hydro-morphodynamic model coupling the Green-Naghdi equations (the hydrodynamic part) with the sediment continuity Exner equation (the morphodynamic part) is presented. Numerical solution algorithms based on discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretizations of the model are proposed. The algorithms include both coupled and decoupled approaches for solving the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic parts simultaneously and separately from each other, respectively. The Strang operator splitting technique is employed to treat the dispersive terms separately, and it provides the ability to ignore the dispersive terms in specified regions, such as surf zones. Algorithms that can handle wetting-drying and detect wave breaking are presented. The numerical solution algorithms are validated with numerical experiments to demonstrate the ability of the algorithms to accurately resolve hydrodynamics of solitary and regular waves, and morphodynamic changes induced by such waves. The results indicate that the model has the potential to be used in studies of coastal morphodynamics driven by dispersive water waves, given that the hydrodynamic part resolves the water motion and dispersive wave effects with sufficient accuracy up to swash zones, and the morphodynamic model can capture the major features of bed erosion and deposition.
The embodied client/lead : an investigation of the somatic experience in therapeutic enactment
Creators: name: Tavormina, Enza Maria Patrizia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Therapeutic enactment is an action oriented therapy that has its roots in psychodrama. In therapeutic enactment, as in psychodrama, the embodied experience is pivotal to healing and transformation. Both psychodrama and therapeutic enactment employ movement and engage the client in an interpersonal, experiential and action oriented process that emphasize the embodied experience. Personal integration is facilitated by assisting the client to move from thinking, reasoning and talking to embodied experiences such as action, doing and awareness of bodily sensations. Despite the importance assigned to embodiment in the theoretical and conceptual frameworks of psychodrama and therapeutic enactment, there is a striking absence of research examining the client's experience of his/her body in the therapeutic contexts of psychodrama and therapeutic enactment. This study explored the question: What is the somatic experience of the client/lead in therapeutic enactment? Employing a phenomenological research approach, this study investigated the embodied experiences of three participants as leads within therapeutic enactment. Essential themes that emerged from the interviews about the somatic experiences of the lead in therapeutic enactment included sensorimotor responses (tension, the quality of one's breathing, the quality of one's pace, gazing, voice, and shifting the weight in one's body posture), the act of seeing and being seen, preparatory movements of defence, congruency and dissonance, processes of containment and self-regulation, the touch, position, presence and proximity of the facilitator, and memory as rooted in the body. The findings in this study along with the current theory in neuroscience research and sensorimotor therapy suggest that the bodily experience of the client in therapeutic enactment is jointly connected to and inseparable from the cognitive and affective experiences of the client and that the language of the body needs to be understood and engaged, not peripherally, but alongside cognition and affect within therapy.

description: While the free movement of goods and the freedom of establishment for workers and enterprises are essential for achieving the objectives of economic integration set out in the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, they are not by themselves sufficient. The present article analyses the role of capital movements in the economic and financial integration of the European Community. The author first reviews the provisions of the Treaty that concern capital movements. The factors restricting the liberalisation of capital movements between Member States are then considered. Finally, the main points and the practical effect of the First Directive on the liberalisation of capital movements are analysed. The author concludes that while considerable progress has been made in some Member States, at the present stage there are areas in which further liberalisation is desirable and feasible without harmful effects for the countries involved.

description: Nell’ambito di un’analisi di equilibri parziali è impossibile non solo misurare, ma anche definire l’”importanza” di una singola merce; è solo quando si riconosca e si consideri l’interdipendenza strutturale del sistema economico che è possibile determinare l’importanza che una merce ha nella produzione delle altre e l’importanza che le altre merci hanno nella sua produzione. E’ su questo aspetto che si concentra l’attenzione dell’autore, mentre , anche riconoscendo che il loro peso sugli effetti finali può essere notevole, saranno completamente trascurati tutti i possibili effetti di sostituzione, che hanno finora ricevuto la maggiore attenzione e sono stati oggetto di accurate analisi da parte degli studiosi negli effetti delle imposte.
