FACIES DISTRIBUTION OF A RIMMED CARBONATE PLATFORM AND OVERLYING REGRESSIVE CARBONATES: THE ESINO LIMESTONE AND CALCARE ROSSO FACIES IN THE CENTRAL SOUTHERN ALPS (LOMBARDY, ITALY)
Creators: name: BINDA, MARCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Close to the Ladinian-Carnian boundary, a major sea level drop led to the exposure of the flat-topped, early cemented prograding Esino Limestone carbonate platform (Central Southern Alps). The subaerial exposure caused a reduction in size and efficiency of the carbonate factory, and the reduced accommodation lead to deposition of a thin (from a few to 60m) regressive unit: the Calcare Rosso. The thickness and distribution of the Calcare Rosso facies indicate a strict relation with the underlying facies of the Esino Lmst. and reflect the existence of higher-subsidence sectors. From the inner platform to the upper slope, thickness of Calcare Rosso increases and peritidal, tepee deformed limestones capped by Terra Rossa deposits are replaced by residual breccias. A different creation of accommodation space on the top of the Esino Lmst. can be main ascribed to differential subsidence. In the inner platform domain, the reduced accommodation and the inherited paleotopography control the great facies changes. Several discontinuity surfaces with associated karst structures characterize the Calcare Rosso deposits and the boundary with Esino Lmst. The development of karst structures into Esino Lmst. provide values of sea level fall, estimated about 20 m. The effects of the subaerial exposure on the Esino Lmst. and Calcare Rosso deposits have been investigated at both macro- and microscopic scale, and with catodoluminescence and geochemical analyses. Data collected both in inner and margin platform areas show the lack of evidences of vadose cementation and confirm the influx of meteoric diagenesis in the uppermost meters of the Esino Lmst. The hight variability of the ?13C and ?18O isotopic values suggests a tendency to climatic shift (?pluvial Carnian event?) in according to the results of the paleosols analysis.

description: Road accidents are regarded as a significant cause of both harm to humans and financial damage in developed and developing countries. In Malaysia, there were 548,598 accidents in 2018 alone. This translates into a daily average of 16 people killed due to traffic accidents. This paper concentrates on the serious conflict analysis and gap acceptance of right-turning vehicles (RTVs) at three-leg unsignalised intersections on Malaysia Rural Roadways. The selected intersections were located in Road Sections (RS) 2, 9, and 10. Two categories of serious conflict were identified, namely lane change due to angular conflict and lane change due to nose-to-tail conflict. In addition, an analysis of right turning vehicle involved in lane change conflicts was examined. The analysis of the serious conflict model for RTVs was developed using binary logistic regression. Concerning the analysis of the decision to accept or reject the right turning vehicle, this paper proposed five gap patterns for RTVs from minor to major roads at unsignalised T-junctions. A gap-pattern analysis was carried out for each type of gap, and it was found that gap pattern three was a vulnerable gap pattern. Furthermore, this research reveals that the attributes of the Gap 3 pattern, motorcycles, speed limit exceeding 50 kph, and RTVs where motorcycles stop near passenger cars in minor roads encourage serious conflict. This study proposes to utilize the average Gap 3 pattern as a novel approach to identifying and improvising the hazardous unsignalised T-Junctions.

description: Negli ultimi anni, la comunit� scientifica si � interessata allo sviluppo di strategie ecofriendly in vari settori, tra cui la catalisi. Molti studi sono stati focalizzati sull?impiego delle particolari propriet� delle nanoparticelle di ferrite. Tra queste c?� quella di poter fungere da supporto per catalizzatori a singolo atomo. La piccola dimensione di queste particelle permette la loro dispersione completa nel mezzo di reazione, come avverrebbe per un catalizzatore omogeneo. Allo stesso tempo, le loro propriet� magnetiche permettono un facile recupero del catalizzatore al termine della reazione. La sintesi delle nanoparticelle di ferrite descritte in questo lavoro � stata effettuata utilizzato il metodo della coprecipitazione e i risultati sono stati resi riproducibili controllando l?influenza di diversi parametri, come la temperatura, il pH della soluzione, e la modalit� di aggiunta dei reagenti. In particolare, per evitare l?aggregazione delle nanoparticelle prodotte una volta che si cambia il mezzo di reazione, queste sono state protette con un opportuno composto organico. Numerosi acidi descritti in letteratura sono stati esaminati, ma quello che si � rivelato pi� efficace e versatile per una ulteriore funzionalizzazione � stato l?acido 10-bromofosfonico, che porta un alogeno nella posizione omega. Una parte importante di questo lavoro � stata costituita dallo studio di diverse strategie per immobilizzare un legante fenantrolinico (utilizzando la 4-metil-1,10-fenantrolina o la 4-idrossi-1,10-fenantrolina come reagenti) sullo strato protettivo di acido fosfonico. L?efficacia di queste strategie � stata investigata generando i corrispondenti complessi del tipo Mo(CO)4(Phen-X) per reazione con Mo(CO)6 e investigandoli mediante spettroscopia IR. Le fenantroline immobilizzate sono state quindi utilizzate per legare il Pd(OAc)2 e i complessi cos� ottenuti sono stati impiegati come catalizzatori per reazioni di importanza strategica per la chimica farmaceutica, come la ciclizzazione riduttiva di nitrostireni da parte di ossido di carbonio a dare indoli. I risultati catalitici ottenuti impiegando questa strategia sono incoraggianti, ma il processo di riciclo si � dimostrato essere poco efficiente, probabilmente a causa della parziale perdita del palladio durante la reazione catalitica. Per limitare le perdite di palladio in soluzione, si � scelto di investigare una classe di reazioni che avvenga in condizioni pi� blande, le Heck ossidative. I risultati hanno dimostrato l'importanza di effettuare prima dei test in fase omogenea, che hanno permesso l'identificazione delle migliori condizioni catalitiche da provare con le nanoparticelle magnetiche. I risultati hanno mostrato che ci sono dei problemi nella reazione ed � stato possibile identificare la principale causa di perdita di selettivit� nella reazione di polimerizzazione dello stirene impiegato come uno dei reagenti.

description: Motivated by the recent indications of ferromagnetism in transition metal oxide heterostructures, we propose a possible mechanism to generate ferromagnetism for itinerant t2g systems in two spatial dimensions that does not rely on the coupling between local moments and conduction electrons. We particularly emphasize the orbital nature of different bands and show that, when the Fermi level lies near the bottom of the upper bands, a non-perturbative interaction effect due to the quasi-one-dimensional nature of the upper bands may drive a transition to a state in which the upper bands are ferromagnetically polarized. In the quasi-one-dimensional limit, the full thermodynamics may be obtained exactly. We discuss the connection between our mechanism with several itinerant t2g systems that may have ferromagnetic instabilities.

description: Nearly all types of energy systems (such as power systems, natural gas supply systems, fuel supply systems, and so forth) are going through a major transition from centralised, top-down structures to distributed, clean energy approaches in order to address the concerns regarding climate change, air quality, depletion of natural resources, and energy security, whilst also enabling the supply of energy to communities in line with the goals of sustainable development. Accordingly, the establishment of the concept of sustainable, decentralised, multi-carrier energy systems, together with the declining costs of renewable energy technologies, has proposed changes in the energy industry towards the development of integrated energy systems. Notwithstanding the potential benefits, the optimal capacity planning of these systems with multiple energy carriers (such as electricity, heat, hydrogen, and biogas) is exceedingly complex due to the concurrent goals and interrelated constraints that must be satisfied, as well as the heavily context-dependent nature of such schemes. This paper puts forward an innovative optimal capacity planning method for a cutting-edge, stand-alone multiple energy carrier micro-grid (MECM) serving the electricity, hot water, and transportation fuel demands of remote communities. The proposed MECM system is equipped with wind turbines, a hydrogen sub-system (including an electrolyser, a hydrogen reservoir, and a fuel cell), a hybrid super-capacitor/battery energy storage system, a hot water storage tank, a heat exchanger, an inline electric heater, a hydrogen refuelling station, and some power converters. A numerical case study for the optimal capacity planning of the suggested MECM configuration, to be realised on Stewart Island, New Zealand, is presented to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed optimisation method.

description: Electron spin relaxation due to the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism is investigated in bilayer graphene with only the lowest conduction band being relevant. The spin-orbit coupling is constructed from the symmetry group analysis with the parameters obtained by fitting to the numerical calculation according to the latest report by Konschuh {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 85}, 115423 (2012)] from first principles. In contrast to single-layer graphene, the leading term of the out-of-plane component of the spin-orbit coupling in bilayer graphene shows a Zeeman-like term with opposite effective magnetic fields in the two valleys. This Zeeman-like term opens a spin relaxation channel in the presence of intervalley scattering. It is shown that the intervalley electron-phonon scattering, which has not been reported in the previous literature, strongly suppresses the in-plane spin relaxation time at high temperature whereas the intervalley short-range scattering plays an important role in the in-plane spin relaxation especially at low temperature. A marked nonmonotonic dependence of the in-plane spin relaxation time on temperature with a minimum of several hundred picoseconds is predicted in the absence of the short-range scatterers. This minimum is comparable to the experimental data. Moreover, a peak in the electron density dependence of the in-plane spin relaxation time at low temperature, which is very different from the one in semiconductors, is predicted. We also find a rapid decrease in the in-plane spin relaxation time with increasing initial spin polarization at low temperature, which is opposite to the situation in both semiconductors and single-layer graphene. ......(The remaining is cut due to the limit of space)

PROBLEMI DI ADEGUAMENTO DEGLI ORDINAMENTI INTERNI AL DIRITTO INTERNAZIONALE IN TEMA DI CRIMINI INTERNAZIONALI
Creators: name: PAREDI, LAURA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: The thesis explores the issue of implementation of international crimes. Implementing international criminal norms is far more complex than implementing other international norms and it also poses different challenges to States. This work aims at understanding the inherent reasons of this complexity, as well as the main difficulties that States generally face in this field. After an overview of the role of national legal orders in international criminal justice, the research focuses on problems related to the incorporation of international crimes into domestic legal orders. The thesis is not only an analysis of national implementing legislation on international crimes, but it is also an attempt to deal with the subject from the point of view of international law. The thesis thus addresses the issue of international obligations imposed on States in relation to international crimes, in the attempt to identify existing gaps in international law and to envisage future perspectives in the field.
title: Mineralogy and Micromorphology of an Atacama Desert Soil, Chile: A model for Hyperarid Pedogenesis
Creators: name: Howell, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: The Atacama Desert is the oldest and driest desert on Earth. Hyperarid soils in this desert are dominated by rare (or exclusive) salt minerals and assemblages. Previous research details salt origins and abundance, however pedogenic processes involved in salt distribution are not adequately explained. Therefore, the main goal of this investigation was to identify and document evidence for hyperarid pedogenesis (via salt mineralogy and soil micromorphology) at a field site, Oficina Ercilla, located ~80 km northeast of Antofagasta, Chile within the Central Depression and hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert. This study presents an interpretational model for hyperarid pedogenesis, which supports the salt heave  hypothesis proposed by Buck et al. (2006). Hyperarid pedogenesis incorporates many known pedogenic processes (e.g. eolian deposition, clast shatter, pressure solution). However, salt heave processes dominate with a self sustaining feed-back loop initiated and perpetuated by long term influx and retention of salt minerals.

description: In this work, we report about the determination of nonperturbative OPE parameters from fits of continuum perturbation theory to the Landau gauge quark propagator. The propagators are computed numerically using lattice QCD with Nf=2 dynamical Wilson twisted mass fermions. We use four different values of the lattice spacing ranging from about 0.1 fm to about 0.05 fm as well as several quark masses per lattice spacing. This allows us to obtain continuum results for the chiral condensate and the average up/down quark mass. The main results are the average up/down quark mass m_q = 3.0(4)(2) MeV at the physical point and a value of the chiral condensate of -(299(26)(29) MeV)^3 in the chiral limit, both in the MSbar scheme at 2 GeV. We have also studied nonperturbative contaminations of our results at small values of the momenta, which are often interpreted as the contribution of the gluon condensate A^2. We do see contributions from such terms, which are, however, not stable over the order in perturbation theory.

title: "The Latent Enmity of Georgia": Sherman's March and its Effects on the Social Division of Georgia
Creators: name: Spurr, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: In September 1864, Union General William T. Sherman's Savannah Campaign targeted the growing animosity between wealthy and poor Georgians when he proposed that Union forces "arouse the latent enmity of Georgia." This thesis continues the study of the March to the Sea by examining the effect of Sherman's campaign as it pertained to the social divisions between Georgians. Sherman's army alone did not ruin the state's ability to remain a vital contributor to the war effort, but rather focused upon the already growing social disputes between Georgians over economic contributions, military sacrifice, and political support. Even before Sherman's army arrived, Governor Joseph E. Brown's attempts to address the economic and political needs of wealthy Georgians clashed with his efforts to provide relief and support to poor whites. Consequently, perceptions of the state government eroded as Brown continued to resist President Jefferson Davis and the Confederate government's authority over issues of state defense and militia control. Although the march resulted in significant damage to the Georgia's infrastructure, the greater effect of the March to the Sea emerged from the aggravation of social and political discord throughout the state and the Confederacy.

IL POTERE DI ACQUISIZIONE SUCCESSIVA NEL DIRITTO DELLA ESPROPRIAZIONE PER PUBBLICA UTILIT� TRA PRINCIPIO DI LEGALIT� E 'GIUSTO EQUILIBRIO'
Creators: name: SERGI, ALBERTO CARMELO GIUSEPPE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: The thesis investigates the unlawful compulsory easements of land issued by Italian public bodies for public use against the statutory provisions of the Statute Concerning the Law and Regulation of Compulsory Purchase for Public Use (Testo unico delle disposizioni legislative e regolamentari in materia di espropriazione per pubblica utilit�, d.P.R. 8 giugno 2001, n. 327). In particular the thesis aims at offering an interpretation of the provision set forth in Art. 43 of said statute, which regulates the ?Easement for use for the public interest? (?Utilizzazione senza titolo di un bene per scopi di interesse pubblico?). The first chapter is devoted to reconstructing the history and evolution of the legal discipline of compulsive easements and tries to single out the reasons that led to its development. The second chapter analyzes the Italian Constitutional Court and European Court of Human Rights case law in the subject matter. The third chapter offers a critical review of the case law concerning the enforcement of Art. 43. In the fourth chapter I offer a comprehensive interpretation of the statutory provision, with the aim of harmonizing it with the whole legal system, and in particular with the principle of legality and with the principle of ?just equilibrium?. Finally, the fifth chapter is devoted to the analysis of Ruling n. 293/2010, in which the Italian Constitutional Court held that Art. 43 was unconstitutional because it violated art. 76 of the Italian Constitution. The interpretation of Art. 43 offered in the thesis is based on the need to harmonize its provision with the whole system and therefore to the principle of legality and the principle of proportionality. This was done by reference to the law regulating compulsory purchases set forth in the same statute, which is held to correctly enact said principles. As a result of this interpretation, the scope of the regulation set forth in art. 43, concerning compulsory easement, has been harmonized with said regulation and therefore limited to a much narrower set of cases - with respect to both subject matter and time limits - compared to those which would result admissible under alternative interpretations. According to this interpretation compulsory easement is not conceived as a public power alternative to compulsory purchases, but as part of the same power of expropriation exercised under different forms, in accordance to the evolution of the ordinary procedure into a special one.

Anomalous enhancement of Wilson ratio in a quantum spin liquid with strong spin-orbital entanglement: the case of Na4Ir3O8

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We present a theory for the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in the quantum-spin-liquid candidate material Na4Ir3O8. We consider an extended Hubbard model on the hyperkagome lattice, which incorporates atomic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and multi-orbital interactions of iridium 5d electrons. This model is analyzed using the slave-rotor mean-field theory and thermodynamic properties across the MIT are studied. The ground state in the insulating side is a U(1) quantum spin liquid with spinon Fermi surfaces that consist of multiple particle-like and hole-like pockets. It is shown that the Wilson ratio in the quantum spin liquid phase is highly enhanced compared to the metallic state. This originates from the fact that the magnetic susceptibility in the quantum spin liquid phase acquires multiple enhancements due to the strong SOC, reduced band-width and on-site spin-orbital exchange, while the heat capacity does not change much across MIT. This explains the large Wilson ratio of the insulating phase observed in the previous experiment on Na4Ir3O8. Possible connections to other existing and future experiments, in particular on the metallic phase, are discussed.

description: The purpose of the this study is to investigate effective marketing techniques to attract potential customers in a particular demographic group, young people aged from 21 to 34, as a way of exploring the local market. This demographic group constitutes a dynamic part of the local population and is characterized by its unique financial conditions and spending preferences. The hypothesis is that with well-designed price bundling, the casinos can realize increased revenue through increased visits from the local young population. The marketing technique used in this study is to utilize offer packages which bundle promotional items and other hotel-provided services. A set of offer packages were created which were designed to meet the characteristics of the local young population. Questionnaires were then distributed to a sample population to query their preference to the offer packages and the future change of their gambling habit.

description: Nowadays it is widely accepted that the evolution of the universe was driven by some scalar degrees of freedom both on its early stage and at present. The corresponding cosmological models often involve some scalar fields introduced ad hoc. In this paper we cultivate a different approach, which is based on a derivation of new scalar degrees of freedom from fundamental modifications of Einstein's gravity. In elaboration of our previous work, we here investigate properties of the dilaton-scalar gravity obtained by dimensional reductions of a recently proposed affine generalized gravity theory. We show that these models possess the same symmetries as related models of GR with ordinary scalar fields. As a result, for a rather general class of dilaton-scalar gravity models we construct additional first integrals and formulate an integral equation well suited for solving by iterations.

description: We point out that existing astrophysical measurements of combinations of the fine-structure constant $α$, the proton-to-electron mass ratio $μ$ and the proton gyromagnetic ratio $g_p$ towards the radio source PKS1413+135 can be used to individually constrain each of these fundamental couplings. While the accuracy of the available measurements is not yet sufficient to test the spatial dipole scenario, our analysis serves as a proof of concept as new observational facilities will soon allow significantly more robust tests. Moreover, these measurements can also be used to obtain constraints on certain classes of unification scenarios, and we compare the constraints obtained for PKS1413+135 with those previously obtained from local atomic clock measurements.

title: Characterization of Aerobic Respiration in Great Basin Hot Springs
Creators: name: Murphy, Caitlin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: Despite a wide diversity of possible electron donors available to fuel chemolithotrophy, it has been proposed that hydrogen is the single most important electron donor in geothermal ecosystems. To directly test this hypothesis, a simple system was devised to determine whether microorganisms in hot spring water and sediment are capable of using hydrogen and other electron donors for aerobic respiration using microrespirometry. The protocol for these experiments was developed using pure cultures of Thermocrinis ruber to determine the effect of growth conditions on the rate of oxygen consumption following the addition of electron donors. For field experiments, samples were collected without introduction of oxygen or change in temperature and measurements of oxygen consumption were initiated within ten minutes of collection. After a baseline oxygen consumption rate was established, possible electron donors were added and oxygen consumption was measured over a twenty-minute window. This system was used to evaluate the impact of electron donor addition (1 mM each of S  2  O 3  2-  , formate/lactate/acetate/propionate mixture, yeast extract/peptone, NH 3  and 10 μM each H 2  and CH 4  ) on oxygen consumption in source water and surface sediment of two near-neutral pH hot springs in the Great Basin, Great Boiling Spring (GBS, 80°C, pH 7) and Sandy's Spring West (SSW, 83°C, pH 7). The composition of the microbial community in the corresponding environments was also evaluated using a combination of terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and fluorescent in situ  hybridization (FISH). The resulting data showed that both the simple water-borne microbial communities (~2-4 species) and the more complex sediment microbial communities (~20-35 species) have diversified to take advantage of a variety of electron donors. These data do not support the hypothesis that hydrogen is the most important electron donor in the source water and sediments of the springs that were examined because hydrogen only stimulated an increased rate of oxygen consumption in two of the four environments tested. This study provides an important step in providing a more complete understanding of the energy budgets of high-temperature ecosystems and provides a template to study other habitats.

An Item Response Theory Analysis and Psychometric Properties of the Czech Version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale
Creators: name: Hanzlová, Radka
Publisher: name: Survey Research Methods
Year: 2022

description: The original version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) has been successfully tested in many studies, mainly using Classical Test Theory (CTT). Using Item Response Theory (IRT), this study examines psychometric properties of the original SWLS comprising five items, and its abbreviated versions and possible usage of a shorter response scale in a Czech data sample. IRT analysis was used to test the psychometric properties of the original SWLS, comprising five items rated on a 7-point Likert scale, and its results were compared the abbreviated version with four (SWLS-4) and three items (SWLS-3) and was also applied to evaluate the adequacy of the response scale’s length. For the analysis, data from a representative sample of the Czech population older than 18 years were used (N = 1,000). The results showed that all the three tested versions of the SWLS reached excellent psychometric properties, including unidimensionality, with slight differences between them. Further testing of the response scale’s adequacy indicates that shortening the response categories from seven to five will be appropriate. The results of this Czech study show that abbreviated versions of the SWLS can be used interchangeably without impacting its psychometric qualities. The results also confirm that a shorter response scale is appropriate for the application.

description: We use experimental mixed-mode data from a probability survey in Great Britain to examine why respondents are less likely to consent to data linkage in online than face-to-face interviews. We find that the 30 percentage point difference in consent rates is a causal effect of the mode on willingness to consent; it is not due to selection of different types of respondents into web and face-to-face interviews. We find that respondents are less likely to understand the data linkage request, less likely to process the consent request thoroughly, and more likely to be concerned about privacy and data security when answering online rather than in a face-to-face interview. Using digital audio-recordings of the face-to-face interviews, we find that verbal behaviours of interviewers do not explain the mode effects: respondents only rarely ask questions or express concern, and interviewers only rarely offer additional information about the data linkage. We also examine which devices respondents used to complete the web survey and find that these do not explain the mode effects either. Finally, we test the effects of simplifying the consent request, by reducing the reading difficulty: while the easier wording increases understanding of the request, it does not increase consent in either mode.

Covariant Formulation of the Transition Radiation Energy Spectrum of an Electron Beam at a Normal Angle of Incidence onto a Round Metallic Screen

description: In the transition radiation emission from a N electron bunch hitting at a normal angle of incidence a metallic screen, the transverse and the longitudinal spatial coordinates of the electron bunch play different roles in determining the N single electron radiation field amplitudes and their relative phases in relation to the different physical constraints which an electromagnetic radiative mechanism by a charged beam must meet: i.e., temporal causality and covariance. The distribution of the N electron longitudinal coordinates determines indeed the sequence of the N electron collisions onto the metallic screen and, on the basis of the temporal causality principle, it also determines the distribution function of the relative emission phases of the N single electron field amplitudes from the metallic surface. The distribution of the transverse coordinates of the N electrons contributes as well to determine the relative phase distribution of the N electron field amplitudes at the observation point - located on the longitudinal axis of the reference frame - providing a further phase information that accounts for the transverse displacement of the N electrons with respect to the beam axis. The distribution of the transverse coordinates of the N electrons is a relativistic invariant under a Lorentz transformation with respect to the direction of motion of the beam and, consequently, it is expected to leave a covariant mark on the N single electron amplitudes composing the radiation field. The covariant imprinting of the N electron transverse density on the radiation field affects both the temporal coherent and incoherent parts of the transition radiation energy spectrum. Such a dependence of the N single electron radiation field amplitudes on the electron density in the transverse plane manifests itself as....(abstract partially missed because of lack of space)

description: A conversation at a heightened level of intensity, ranging from the aleatory tradition of Emmett Williams, Jackson Mac Low, and John Cage, through post-Poundian poetry and its Chinese influences, kinetic poetry or programmable media where the poem itself is performing, not just the poet. Attention is also given to the Internet as these two literary artists knew it for a very brief moment, before Google and Facebook, circa 2004, ¨figured out that everybody needed an account.¨
Oscillatory tilt effect in a metal in a weak magnetic field
Creators: name: Ledenyov, Oleg P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The oscillatory tilt effect in a normal metal at external magnetic field is discovered. The oscillatory tilt effect is characterized by the oscillations of ultrasound attenuation in a metal at external magnetic field as predicted in [1]. The dimension of the non-central cross-section of the Fermi surface and the velocity of electrons in a high pure Gallium single crystal at external magnetic field are found. At the low frequencies of ultrasonic signal, the "inverse" oscillatory tilt effect in a high pure Gallium single crystal at the external magnetic field is observed.

Harmonizing Single-Question Instruments for Latent Constructs With Equating Using Political Interest as an Example.
Creators: name: Singh, Ranjit Konrad
Publisher: name: Survey Research Methods
Year: 2022

description: Many latent constructs in the social sciences, such as political interest, are measured with single-question instruments. Furthermore, survey programs often differ in the wording and response format of those instruments. This is problematic if we want to compare or combine data across different surveys or across changing instruments within a survey program. Consequently, we need robust methods to establish comparability in existing data (i.e., ex-post harmonization). In this paper I demonstrate the usefulness of an approach from psychometry: Observed score equating with a random groups design. Using two existing instruments for political interest, I show that equating works well in transforming the numerical scores of instruments so that they can be compared across instruments. Since random groups equating needs data for both instruments from the same population, I also demonstrate the feasibility of equating using an online nonprobability sample as well as using two probability samples of the adult German population.

description: An integer $n$ is $(y,z)$-semismooth if $n=pm$ where $m$ is an integer with all prime divisors $\le y$ and $p$ is 1 or a prime $\le z$. arge quantities of semismooth integers are utilized in modern integer factoring algorithms, such as the number field sieve, that incorporate the so-called large prime variant. Thus, it is useful for factoring practitioners to be able to estimate the value of $Ψ(x,y,z)$, the number of $(y,z)$-semismooth integers up to $x$, so that they can better set algorithm parameters and minimize running times, which could be weeks or months on a cluster supercomputer. In this paper, we explore several algorithms to approximate $Ψ(x,y,z)$ using a generalization of Buchstab's identity with numeric integration.

Adapting the Robust Effect Size Cliff's Delta to Compare Behaviour Profiles
Creators: name: Bais, Frank
name: Van Der Neut, Joost
Publisher: name: Survey Research Methods
Year: 2022

description: Cliff’s Delta is a non-parametric effect size that is based on data observations. In this paper, we introduce an adaptation of Cliff’s Delta in order to compare behaviour profiles. Behaviour profiles are density distributions in which survey answer behaviour is summarized for specific groups of respondents or items. Such profiles are useful, as they take into account the varying number of survey items that is filled out per respondent due to filter questions. By the adapted Cliff’s Delta, two subgroups of respondents (for instance higher and lower educated respondents) can be compared on the occurrence of specific answer behaviour (for instance giving ‘don’t know’-answers). By means of simulations, we show that the adapted profile-based Cliff’s Delta converges towards the original observation-based Cliff’s Delta as the number of items that is filled out by respondents increases. We conclude that the profile-based Cliff’s Delta is a solid and conservative statistic that is both useful and advantageous to compare behaviour profiles. We close with various data examples to illustrate its broad usefulness and by discussing potential difficulty in using the profile-based Cliff’s Delta.

Jet-Tagged Back-Scattering Photons For Quark Gluon Plasma Tomography

description: Direct photons are important probes for quark gluon plasma created in high energy nuclear collisions. Various sources of direct photons in nuclear collisions are known, each of them endowed with characteristic information about the production process. However, it has been challenging to separate direct photon sources through measurements of single inclusive photon spectra and photon azimuthal asymmetry. Here we explore a method to identify photons created from the back-scattering of high momentum quarks off quark gluon plasma. We show that the correlation of back-scattering photons with a trigger jet leads to a signal that should be measurable at RHIC and LHC.

The Blind Spot: Studying the Association Between Survey Nonresponse and Adherence to COVID-19 Governmental Regulations in a Population-Based German Web-Survey
Creators: name: Wetzel, Martin
name: Hünteler, Bettina
Publisher: name: Survey Research Methods
Year: 2022

description: A multitude of COVID-19 studies provide information on adherence to COVID-19 regulations. Although selective non-response might question the validity of generalising study findings, the issue has, as yet, received only little attention. Presumably, the decision as to whether to participate in a COVID-19 study is based on a similar decision-making process as that concerning adherence to COVID-19 regulations. Common characteristics might predict both outcomes which would result in overestimated mean levels and a biased predictor structure of adherence to COVID-19 regulations. We used a random sample of adolescents (born 2001–2003) from the German family panel study pairfam who were first (face-to-face) interviewed in winter 2018/19 and were invited to participate in a (web-based) follow-up COVID-19-interview in spring 2020. Using a simple weighting procedure and Heckman selection models, we found an overestimated mean of adherence to COVID-19 regulations, with the association with gender being overestimated and that with education and migration background underestimated. The extent of bias was less severe and fewer variables were affected than expected. We suggest including a set of additional variables into the models to tackle the bias in the predictor structure and to address mean level bias by using weights accounting for population characteristics. Although COVID-19 studies indeed appear to provide biased results, being able to reduce this bias is generally good news for high-quality COVID-19 studies.
