description: The aim of the conducted research was to compare the preferred styles of coping with stress and the feeling of loneliness in the groups of persons with and without siblings. We looked for correlations between loneliness and coping with stress as well as for the relational determinants of the styles of coping with stress and loneliness. There were 180 participants (63.9% of women; 36.1% of men), coming from the district of Łódź, Poland. These persons were in the period of early adulthood. The following methods were used in the study: Adult Siblings Relationships Questionnaire C. Stockera i in. (1997) in Polish adaptation by K.Walęckiej-Matyji (2014), Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA-S) E. DiTommasso, Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) by N.S. Endler and J.D.A. Parker in Polish adaptation by J. Strelau i in. (2007) and the author’s own questionnaire. The conducted analyses show that there are significant differences in styles and ways of coping with stress between persons with and without siblings. Persons with siblings take action to combat stress, whereas those without cease their activities in stressful situations. The same results were obtained by comparing separately a group of women and men. Persons with siblings more often experienced loneliness in the romantic dimension than only children, who, on the other hand, more frequently declared experiencing loneliness in the family dimension. In the group of sibling dyads, gender was a factor that differentiated the dimensions in which the young adults experienced loneliness. We noted the occurrence of numerous correlations between the styles of coping with stress and loneliness in the compared groups of only children and persons with siblings. The variables of Opposition and Domination had predictive value for the loneliness. It was found out that conflictual relationships with adult siblings are a mediator of the correlation between romantic loneliness and engaging in surrogate activities.

description: В книге раскрываются различные аспекты геополитического противостояния ведущих держав позапрошлого столетия. На конкретных исторических примерах показаны наиболее распространенные приемы этой борьбы, направленные на ослабление противника или вытеснение его с международной арены. Прочитав эту книгу, читатель найдет ответы на вопросы о том, как Российской империи удалось опередить англичан в Средней Азии и Дальнем Востоке в XIX веке. Почему затяжная Кавказская война имела ярко выраженный геополитический подтекст? Почему революционеры и борцы за свободу в России всегда стремились к территориальному распаду своей страны и ликвидации ее армии? Интересы кого отстаивали большевики в 1917 г. и как в начале ХХ в. закладывались основные приемы «цветных революций», столь актуальных в наши дни? Автор книги доказывает, что большая геополитическая борьба ведущих держав никогда не заканчивается, меняются только методы противостояния и расклад сил на международной арене. Монография написана в научно-популярном стиле и адресована для широкого круга читателей, интересующихся вопросами русской истории и геополитики.

description: The relation between the conductivity tensors of Composite Fermions and electrons is extended to second generation Composite Fermions. It is shown that it crucially depends on the coupling matrix for the Chern-Simons gauge field. The results are applied to a model of interacting Composite Fermions that can explain both the anomalous plateaus in spin polarization and the corresponding maxima in the resistivity observed in recent transport experiments.

description: Years of research have been dedicated to determining the best time for producers to sell their commodities. Researchers have developed basis models, market efficiency tests, hedging/risk models, price forecasting models, and many other models in an attempt to help producers. There is a vast amount of material on how economists believe that a rational producer should act and react in the market place. However, there is little research on how producers actually sell commodities. This paper first measures the extent to which producers display an active or mechanical marketing style using individual farmer sales. Next, tests of performance persistence are conducted to determine if there is any advantage to an active marketing style. The results show that southern Oklahoma wheat producers tend to have a mechanical marketing style, while at other locations producers appear to have a more active style. The results show no evidence of performance persistence and thus suggest that there is no advantage to using an active marketing style.

description: This study investigated the association between job satisfaction, the quality of adult sibling interpersonal relationships and mental health in young adults. The second aim of the study was to determine a moderating role of the quality of adult sibling interpersonal relationships in the correlation between job satisfaction and mental health in young adults as well as a moderating role of job satisfaction in the correlation between mental health and adult sibling relationships. The study included 84 young persons (M=25.5; SD=3.44). The research tools: Work Description Sheet, General Health Questionnaire–28 and Adult Sibling Relationship Questionnaire. The obtained results show that it was found out that a low general job satisfaction as well as its factors were linked with poorer mental health of the examined persons. The positive correlations but week were observed between perceiving conflict and rivalry in relationships with adult siblings and mental health dimensions. It was found out that both a relationship with adult siblings is a moderator of the correlation between job satisfaction and mental health and that job satisfaction is a moderator of the correlation between adult sibling relationships and mental health. It was found out that the quality of interactions between the relationships in the subsystem of adult siblings and job satisfaction reveals the links with the condition of mental health. That opens up an opportunity not only to learn more about the psychological aspects of young adults’ functioning on the labour market but also to protect their mental health.

description: These postcards were handmade by women in Belgium and France. Some have embroidered inscriptions: 'With love, from Dad', 'Dear wife', for example. They were found at various antique/vintage shops and sales. I (Brain Cross) have collected several hundred of these postcards. I first started collecting these (and many other objects relating to the First World War) because I wanted to know as much as possible about my grandfather and his experiences during the First World War. A father of five children, he had volunteered to fight. He was killed on 15 September 1916, after just 11 days in France.

description: Endogenous variables in structural models of agricultural commodity markets are typically treated as stationary. Yet, tests for unit roots have rather frequently implied that commodity prices are not stationary. This seeming inconsistency is investigated by focusing on alternative specifications of unit root tests. We apply various specifications to Illinois farm prices of corn, soybeans, barrows and gilts, and milk for the 1960 through 2002 time span. The preponderance of the evidence suggests that nominal prices do not have unit roots, but under certain specifications, the null hypothesis of a unit root cannot be rejected, particularly when the logarithms of prices are used. If the test specification does not account for a structural change that shifts the mean of the variable, the results are biased toward concluding that a unit root exists. In general, the evidence does not favor the existence of unit roots.

description: Options with different maturities can be used to generate an implied forward volatility, a volatility forecast for non-overlapping future time intervals. Using five commodities with varying characteristics, we find that the implied forward volatility dominates forecasts based on historical volatility information, but that the predictive accuracy is affected by the commodity's characteristics. Unbiased and efficient corn and soybeans market forecasts are attributable to the well-established volatility during crucial growing periods. For soybean meal, wheat, and hogs volatility is less predictable, and investors appear to demand a risk premium for bearing volatility risk.

description: Ionic liquids are promising candidates for novel electrolytes as they possess large electrochemical and thermodynamic stability and offer a high degree of tunability. As purely-ionic electrolyte without neutral solvent they exhibit characteristic structures near electrified interfaces and in the bulk, both being described theoretically via separate frameworks and methodologies. We present a holistic continuum theory applying to both regions. This transport theory for pure ionic liquids and ionic liquids-mixtures allows the systematic description of the electrolyte evolution. In particular, dynamic bulk-transport effects and interfacial structures can be studied. The theory is thermodynamically consistent and describes multi-component solutions (ionic liquids, highly concentrated electrolytes, water-in-salt electrolytes). Here, we give a detailed derivation of the theory and focus on bulk transport processes of ionic liquids as appearing in electrochemical cells. In addition, we validate our framework for a zinc-ion battery based on a mixture of ionic-liquid and water as electrolyte.

description: Coherent radio emission in pulsars is excited due to instabilities in a relativistically streaming non-stationary plasma flow, which is generated from sparking discharges in the inner acceleration region (IAR) near the stellar surface. A number of detailed works have shown the IAR to be a partially screened gap (PSG) dominated by non-dipolar magnetic fields with continuous outflow of ions from the surface. The phenomenon of subpulse drifting is expected to originate due to variable $\mathbf{E}\times\mathbf{B}$ drift of the sparks in PSG, where the sparks lag behind corotation velocity of the pulsar. Detailed observations show a wide variety of subpulse drifting behaviour where subpulses in different components of the profile have different phase trajectories. But the drifting periodicity is seen to be constant, within measurement errors, across all components of the profile. Using the concept of sparks lagging behind corotation speed in PSG as well as the different orientations of the surface non-dipolar magnetic fields we have simulated the expected single pulse behaviour in a representative sample of pulsars. Our results show that the different types of drifting phase behaviour can be reproduced using these simple assumptions of spark dynamics in a non-dipolar IAR.

description: Price discovery research related to fed cattle has involved data covering a relatively small portion of the longer cattle cycle. Thus, research has not explicitly addressed the impacts alternative supply conditions have on price discovery. Additionally, little research has addressed the pricing choices for fed cattle marketing or procurement. In research reported here using data from an experimental market, the Fed Cattle Market Simulator, models were estimated that encompassed live weight, dressed weight, and grid pricing under alternative supply scenarios, specifically a larger supply and smaller supply period. Variables explaining fed cattle price variation differed somewhat between the two supply periods. For the two periods combined, results were nearly as theoretically expected. One consistent finding was that higher quality fed cattle marketed with a grid brought higher prices in both supply periods. Similarly, some differences were noted in the pricing choice model between the two periods and the combined periods. Another consistent finding was that having lower quality cattle to market increased the probability of marketing them on a live weight basis. Higher quality cattle were more apt to be marketed with a grid.

description: In this paper, we discuss two-stage encoding algorithms capable of correcting a fraction of asymmetric errors. Suppose that the encoder transmits $n$ binary symbols $(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ one-by-one over the Z-channel, in which a 1 is received only if a 1 is transmitted. At some designated moment, say $n_1$, the encoder uses noiseless feedback and adjusts further encoding strategy based on the partial output of the channel $(y_1,\ldots,y_{n_1})$. The goal is to transmit error-free as much information as possible under the assumption that the total number of errors inflicted by the Z-channel is limited by $τn$, $0

description: The motion of an ion in a coherent lower hybrid wave (characterized by |k_parallel| << |k_perp| and omega >> Omega_i) in a tokamak plasma is studied. For ions satisfying v_perp > omega/k_perp, the Lorentz force law for the ions is reduced to a set of difference equations which give the Larmor radius and phase of an ion on one cyclotron orbit in terms of these quantities a cyclotron period earlier. From these difference equations an earlier result [Phys. Fluids 21, 1584 (1978)] that above a certain wave amplitude the ion motion is stochastic, is readily obtained. The stochasticity threshold is given a simple physical interpretation. In addition, the difference equations are used to derive a diffusion equation governing the heating of the ions above the stochasticity threshold. By including the effects of collisions, the heating rate for the bulk ions is obtained.

description: Motives for grid pricing of fed cattle have been identified in previous research. Also, estimates of grid pricing exist from feedlot surveys and data generated via mandatory price reports since 2001. However, no research has attempted to estimate factors influencing the extent of grid pricing by cattle feeders. Cattle feedlot respondents to a survey primarily in Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, and Texas reported a wide range of grid pricing use in 2003. Two groups of feedlot respondents were created; those using grid pricing for half or less of their fed cattle marketings in 2003 and those using grid pricing for more than half of their marketings. Ordinary least squares and ordered logit models were estimated to determine factors affecting grid pricing use for the two comparison groups. For many potential factors influencing grid pricing, no significant differences were found between groups. The two most robust factors were the percent of fed cattle sold to the largest buyer and the percent of fed cattle marketed with some type of agreement, contract, or through an alliance or cooperative. Other significant factors related to market conditions and expected carcass performance of the cattle. However, results were neither consistent nor strong enough to explain the sharp drop in formula pricing fed cattle during the third year following implementation of mandatory price reporting.

Badanie objęło grupę 139 osób, w tym 70 kobiet oraz 69 mężczyzn, mieszczących się w przedziale wiekowym od 18. do 35. roku życia. Za podstawową hipotezę badawczą przyjęto istnienie korelacyjnej zależności między wspomnianymi zmiennymi w badanej populacji. Oprócz weryfikacji hipotezy badawczej starano się także dociec, czy istnieją różnice płciowe w zakresie poziomów poczucia własnej wartości i nadziei na sukces u młodych dorosłych. Statystyczna analiza uzyskanych wyników pozwala na sformułowanie następujących wniosków: 1) im wyższy poziom nadziei na sukces, tym: wyższa ocena swojej wartości; większa zdolność bronienia własnych praw; oraz silniejsze przekonanie, że jest się osobą kochaną; 2) im wyższy poziom umiejętności znajdowania rozwiązań, tym większa łatwość wyrażania swoich opinii, szczególnie w zakresie nieprzyzwalania na wykorzystywanie i krzywdzące traktowanie ze strony innych; 3) im wyższy poziom silnej woli, tym: większy szacunek do siebie i własnych potrzeb; większa zdolność w obronie swoich praw; a także mniej wahań dotyczących miłości ze strony najbliższych; 4) młodzi mężczyźni nie różnią się od młodych kobiet w zakresie poziomu nadziei na sukces i poczucia własnej wartości.

Orientation and size of the `Z' in `X'-shaped radio galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Some X-shaped radio galaxies show a Z-symmetric morphology in the less luminous secondary lobes. Within the scenario of a merger between two galaxies, each hosting a supermassive black hole in its center, this structure has been explained before: As the smaller galaxy spirals towards the common center, it releases gas to the ISM of the larger active galaxy. The ram pressure of this streaming gas will bend the lobes of the pre-merger jet into a Z-shape. After the black holes have merged the jet propagates in a new direction that is aligned with the angular momentum of the binary black hole. In this article we deproject the pre- and post-merger jets. Taking into account the expected angles between the jet pairs and with the assumption that their directions are uncorrelated, we show that one of three possible orientations of the jets with respect to the line of sight is more likely than the others. This actually depends on the distance where the bending occurs. Another result of our deprojection is that the streaming gas bends the jet into a Z-shape in a range between about 30 and 100 kpc distance to the center of the primary galaxy. We confirm this finding by comparing our predictions for the properties of the rotational velocity field and its radius with observations and numerical simulations of merging galaxies. Thus our results support the merger scenario as explanation for X- and Z-shaped radio galaxies with the jet pointing along the former axis of orbital angular momentum of the binary.

description: There is no shortage of studies regarding price forecasting and marketing strategies of producers. However, the majority of these studies take a normative approach, focusing on deriving an optimal strategy for producers to follow based on information received from producer surveys. Due to such things as psychological biases, producers may not actually use the marketing information that they say they do. This study uses actual producer transaction data to determine how producers marketing decisions correspond with those recommended by market advisory services and with those that use futures spreads to calculate expected returns. The results show that producers do respond to using futures spreads to represent expected returns to storage. Also, it appears that Oklahoma producers make marketing decisions opposite of those recommended by market advisory services.

description: This paper describes the degree of marketing activeness of market advisory programs for corn and soybeans, and analyzes the relationship between activeness degree and pricing performance. The data set employed consists of advisory programs tracked by the AgMAS Project at the University of Illinois between 1995 and 2001. Cluster analysis was conducted to group the programs according to their degree of activeness. Panel data regression models were estimated to evaluate the relationship between activeness degree and pricing performance. In the corn market, point estimates indicate a positive effect of the degree of activeness on pricing performance, but this effect is of small magnitude and statistically insignificant. For soybeans,there is a stronger positive relationship between activeness degree and performance, with an estimated effect of activeness on performance larger in magnitude and statistically significant. This positive relationship suggests that active marketing programs are based on superior information and/or analytical skills.

description: This study investigates the effects of South American production (SAP) and futures volatility on the soybean price dynamics in terms of their effects on the basis. The results of the econometric model showed that both South American production and futures volatility of the nearby contract have negative effects on the basis though in the forecast model, lagged values of these two factors failed to predict basis change in the future. If information about the change of the expected SAP or futures volatility is available, then the model can predict the changes in basis. This information would be helpful for hedgers to decide the time to lift their hedge.

description: This paper investigates the profitability of technical trading rules in US futures markets over the 1985-2004 period. To account for data snooping biases, we evaluate statistical significance of performance across technical trading rules using White's Bootstrap Reality Check test and Hansen's Superior Predictive Ability test. These methods directly quantify the effect of data snooping by testing the performance of the best rule in the context of the full universe of technical trading rules. Results show that the best rules generate statistically significant economic profits only for two of 17 futures contracts traded in the US. This evidence indicates that technical trading rules generally have not been profitable in US futures markets after correcting for data snooping biases.

description: We propose and develop a new framework for studying the problem of preventing biological invasions caused by ships transporting internationally traded goods between countries and continents. In particular, we apply the methods of queuing theory to analyze the problem of preventing a biological invasion from a long run perspective. First, we characterize two simple regulatory regimes as two different kinds of queues. Second, we show how to pose a publically owned port manager's decision problem as an optimization problem using queuing theoretic techniques. Third, we compare and contrast the optimality conditions emanating from our analysis of the M/M/I/U and the M/M/I/I inspection regimes. We conclude by discussing possible extensions to our basic models.

description: Celem artykułu było przedstawienie 4 modeli inteligencji emocjonalnej oraz zagadnień dotyczących środowiskowych i rodzinnych uwarunkowań inteligencji emocjonalnej. W artykule przedstawiono badania własne przeprowadzone wśród 70 osób w celu odpowiedzi na pytanie czy istnieje i na czym polega zależność między typami postaw rodzicielskich w rodzinie pochodzenia młodych dorosłych a ich ogólną inteligencją emocjonalną wraz z czterema komponentami składających się na nią: 1. akceptowanie, wyrażanie i wykorzystywanie własnych emocji w działaniu; 2. empatia, czyli rozumienie i rozpoznawanie emocji innych ludzi; 3. kontrola, także poznawcza, nad własnymi emocjami; 4. rozumienie i uświadamianie sobie własnych emocji . Wyniki badań wskazały, że pozytywne postawy rodzicielskie matki (akceptacji i autonomii) istotnie korelują z poziomem inteligencji emocjonalnej i wszystkimi jej wymiarami u córek, a u synów korelują w sposób umiarkowany z empatią. Natomiast pozytywne postawy ojca mają bardzo istotny związek z poziomem inteligencji emocjonalnej córek i trzema komponentami oprócz empatii, natomiast u synów pozytywne postawy ojca maja związek z wszystkimi komponentami inteligencji emocjonalnej, a największy z empatią. Wśród postaw rodzicielskich negatywnych (nadmierne ochranianie, wymaganie i niekonsekwencja) najmniejszą negatywną zależność uzyskano w postawie nadmiernie ochraniającej. Dla córek bardzo niekorzystna we wszystkich wymiarach inteligencji emocjonalnej ma postawa nadmiernie wymagająca obojga rodziców, dla synów postawa ta nie ma znaczenia. Postawa niekonsekwencji matki ma również negatywny wpływ na zdolności wchodzące w skład inteligencji emocjonalnej dla córek, natomiast dla synów destrukcyjna jest postawa niekonsekwencji ojca.

description: Recently, measurements of abundances in extremely metal poor (EMP) stars have brought new constraints on stellar evolution models. In an attempt to explain the origin of the abundances observed, we computed pre--supernova evolution models, explosion models and the related nucleosynthesis. In this paper, we start by presenting the pre-SN models of rotating single stars with metallicities ranging from solar metallicity down to almost metal free. We then review key processes in core-collapse and bounce, before we integrate them in a simplistic parameterization for 3D MHD models, which are well underway and allow one to follow the evolution of the magnetic fields during collapse and bounce. Finally, we present explosive nucleosynthesis results including neutrino interactions with matter, which are calculated using the outputs of the explosion models. The main results of the pre-SN models are the following. First, primary nitrogen is produced in large amount in models with an initial metallicity $Z=10^{-8}$. Second, at the same metallicity of $Z=10^{-8}$ and for models with an initial mass larger than about 60 Mo, rotating models may experience heavy mass loss (up to more than half of the initial mass of the star). The chemical composition of these winds can qualitatively reproduce the abundance patterns observed at the surface of carbon-rich EMP stars. Explosive nucleosynthesis including neutrino-matter interactions produce improved abundances for iron group elements, in particular for scandium and zinc. It also opens the way to a new neutrino and proton rich process ($ν$p-process) able to contribute to the nucleosynthesis of elements with A > 64. (Abridged)

description: The impact of new manure management regulations depends on the willingness of crop producers to accept manure. A contingent valuation analysis of crop producers was used to estimate the willingness of crop producers to accept or pay for manure. Results indicate that producers will pay a positive price on average, but some would require a payment before accepting manure.

description: This paper presents hedonic analyses designed to estimate the real estate premium from improved access to a regional greenway system in three distinct counties. The hypothesis is tested that unobservable factors relating to the overall economic structure of each county influence how and to what extent access to open space is effectively capitalized into residential sales prices.
A probabilistic generative model for semi-supervised training of coarse-grained surrogates and enforcing physical constraints through virtual observables

description: The data-centric construction of inexpensive surrogates for fine-grained, physical models has been at the forefront of computational physics due to its significant utility in many-query tasks such as uncertainty quantification. Recent efforts have taken advantage of the enabling technologies from the field of machine learning (e.g. deep neural networks) in combination with simulation data. While such strategies have shown promise even in higher-dimensional problems, they generally require large amounts of training data even though the construction of surrogates is by definition a Small Data problem. Rather than employing data-based loss functions, it has been proposed to make use of the governing equations (in the simplest case at collocation points) in order to imbue domain knowledge in the training of the otherwise black-box-like interpolators. The present paper provides a flexible, probabilistic framework that accounts for physical structure and information both in the training objectives as well as in the surrogate model itself. We advocate a probabilistic (Bayesian) model in which equalities that are available from the physics (e.g. residuals, conservation laws) can be introduced as virtual observables and can provide additional information through the likelihood. We further advocate a generative model i.e. one that attempts to learn the joint density of inputs and outputs that is capable of making use of unlabeled data (i.e. only inputs) in a semi-supervised fashion in order to promote the discovery of lower-dimensional embeddings which are nevertheless predictive of the fine-grained model's output.

description: Using a new s-nucleosynthesis code, coupled with the stellar evolution code Star2003, we performed simulations to study the impact of the convection treatment on the s-process during core He-burning of a 25 Msun star (ZAMS mass) with an initial metallicity of Z=0.02. Particular attention was devoted to the impact of the extent of overshooting on the s-process efficiency. The results show enhancements of about a factor 2-3 in s-process efficiency (measured as the average overproduction factor of the 6 s-only nuclear species with $60\lesssim A\lesssim 90$) with overshooting parameter values in the range 0.01-0.035, compared to results obtained with the same model but without overshooting. The impact of these results on the p-process model based on type II supernovae is discussed.

Artes liberales: Souhait de transmettre la science et les connaissances aux jeunes générations

description: L'article de Bogusława Filipowicz intitulé Artes liberales: Souhait de transmettre la science et les connaissances aux jeunes générations rend compte de la valeur culturelle intégrale de la transmission du savoir et en particulier met en valeur des sciences et techniques connues de nos jours et initiées dans l'Antiquité. L’histoire de la science et de la technologie est un problème de recherche que traitent, entre autres historiens, linguistes, spécialistes en sciences naturelles, physique et mathématiques, architecture et arts, géographie et musique. La réflexion sur le développement des sciences conduit à leur source. C'est la capacité d'un homme à connaître le monde dans lequel il participe et auquel il s’intègre, et à utiliser intelligemment les avantages des lois de la nature connues et systématisées. En termes humanistes, ces avantages n’entrent pas en contradiction avec l'homme, sa dignité personnelle. Au contraire, ils servent son développement et ses pratiques de transfert de connaissances aux générations futures. L'article met l'accent sur la compréhension ancienne de la science et des arts, y compris les artes liberales enseignées par Sénèque. L’auteur indique la possibilité d’utiliser les connaissances artistiques aux fins d’une approche intégrale et culturelle des processus sociaux, par exemple le pardon dans le contexte de la mémoire du génocide (Rwanda) ou l’éducation sur l’histoire de la grâce dans l’histoire des peines.

description: We give a geometric classification of complex $4$-dimensional nilpotent $\mathfrak{CD}$-algebras. The corresponding geometric variety has dimension 18 and decomposes into $2$ irreducible components determined by the Zariski closures of a two-parameter family of algebras and a four-parameter family of algebras (see Theorem 2). In particular, there are no rigid $4$-dimensional complex nilpotent $\mathfrak{CD}$-algebras.

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the vertical relationship between the manufacturers of ready-to-eat cereals (RTEC) and the retailers in the Boston area. The study uses highly disaggregated (supermarket and brand level ) monthly data from Information Resources Inc (IRI) from 1995 to 1997.The Logit model is used to estimate the demand for 37 brands of RTEC in the top four supermarkets in the Boston area. The demand estimates are then used to compute the price-cost margins (PCM) for retailers and manufacturers under different vertical scenarios, including vertical Nash double marginalization, non-linear pricing, vertical integration, and collusion. The results of the study shed light on the power each agent (manufacturers and retailers) has to set the price of RTECs in the Boston market, and assess inter- and intra-brand substitution among brands of different manufacturers.
