description: This study examines differences in corporate culture between Japanese firms as expressed in championing behaviors. The results of a survey of 678 managers in 8 Japanese firms concerning their preferences regarding innovation championing styles are reported. These show that the emphasis in previous research on the similarities between Japanese firms should be abandoned. In addition, the present study lends important support to the assumption of independence of organizational culture from social environment.

description: Existence and asymptotic behavior of the Stoneley surface wave at vacuum/porous medium interface are investigated in the low frequency range. It is shown that the Stoneley wave possesses a bifurcation in the vicinity of critical wave number 푘cr. It is proven also that within the 푘-domain of existence, the Stoneley wave cannot appear for certain values of elastic moduli of the solid phase. Asymptotic formulae for the phase velocity of the Stoneley wave are presented.
Immigration, family responsibilities and the labor supply of skilled native women

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Labor economics

description: This paper investigates the effects of Spain's large recent immigration wave on the labor supply of highly skilled native women. We hypothesize that female immigration led to an increase in the supply of affordable household services, such as housekeeping and child or elderly care. As a result, i) native females with high earnings potential were able to increase their labor supply, and ii) the effects were larger on skilled women whose labor supply was heavily constrained by family responsibilities. Our evidence indicates that over the last decade immigration led to an important expansion in the size of the household services sector and to an increase in the labor supply of women in high-earning occupations (of about 2 hours a week). We also find that immigration allowed skilled native women to return to work sooner after childbirth, to stay in the workforce longer when having elderly dependents in the household, and to postpone retirement. Methodologically, we show that the availability of even limited Registry data makes it feasible to analyze the effects of immigration using quarterly household survey data, as opposed to having to rely on the decennial Census.

description: The OPERA Collaboration reported evidence for muonic neutrinos traveling slightly faster than light in vacuum. While waiting further checks from the experimental community, here we aim at exploring some theoretical consequences of the hypothesis that muonic neutrinos are superluminal, considering in particular the tachyonic and the Coleman-Glashow cases. We show that a tachyonic interpretation is not only hardly reconciled with OPERA data on energy dependence, but that it clashes with neutrino production from pion and with neutrino oscillations. A Coleman-Glashow superluminal neutrino beam would also have problems with pion decay kinematics for the OPERA setup; it could be easily reconciled with SN1987a data, but then it would be very problematic to account for neutrino oscillations.

description: Over the last decades labour market participation of women increased, while fertility declined in most advanced countries.

"I'm part of this family" : how five care-giving partners of gay men story their experiences
Creators: name: Kia, Hossein
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study, whose purpose was to develop insight into the experiences of gay care-givers, examined how five Canadian care-giving partners of gay men storied their experiences, or how they constructed their subjective realities in the form of narratives. The five participants, all of whom were recruited either directly or indirectly with the help of community agencies, took part in two in-depth semi-structured interviews designed to invoke narratives relating to their identification as care-givers, their experiences mitigating challenges and encountering rewards, and their overall stories as gay carers. Though each of the participants' stories was analyzed individually, a cross-case analysis revealed a number of common themes spanning the respondents' stories. These realities included perceiving “choice” in committing to care, experiencing anticipated, felt, and overt expressions of homophobia and heterosexism, valuing gay-friendly sources of support, and constructing unique definitions of “family” and “partnership” in the context of care. A close analysis of the study's findings suggested that though many of the participants appeared to story complex issues found in the context of same-sex caring partnerships by attributing subjective meaning or significance to these realms of experience, an intricate array of structural factors also appeared to influence how these carers storied their lives as gay care-givers. Implications of the study's findings on social work practice at various levels of intervention, as well as recommendations for the pursuit of future research in related fields of inquiry, were outlined.

description: The world’s kelp forests cover over a third of the world’s coastlines and provide numerous benefits to humans. Understanding the values associated with kelp forests is essential for meeting international initiatives concerning ocean accounting and ecosystem assessments. The GEAK network is an international group of expert kelp forest ecologists and environmental economists working to synthesize the values and functions of kelp forests globally. The network has developed a common data collection approach and protocol to quantify the different ecosystem services (e.g., provisioning, regulating, biodiversity, and cultural) provided by kelp forests. This manuscript presents the guidelines for attributing proportional value of kelp dependent commercial and subsistence fisheries to different target species.

Fundamental issues in the United States-Japan economic relations

International relations

description: This paper is quite different from the usual Japan Economic Seminar presentation. Rather than a piece of original research, this paper is a summary of personal views and reflections about the current status of the U.S.-Japan economic relationship. The purpose is to stimulate discussion at our seminar meeting about the relationship, somewhat in continuation of what transpired at the seminar's Washington meeting concerning Marcus Noland's paper. If there is a theme or conclusion to the following pages, it is that economists need to be less purely academic in their approach to bilateral issues. Important problems do exist in the bilateral relationship; they are not all necessarily true economic problems, but neither are they simply "political" issues which economists tend to view with disdain. Dealing with these problems obviously requires tact and diplomacy, but they can be ignored only at the peril of seriously damaging the overall economic and strategic relationship. Especially now that the cold war is over, and economic aspects of the U.S.-Japan relationship are receiving relatively more attention than in the past, economists have a responsibility to be closely involved in considering the nature of the problems and their possible solutions.

 Epipleoneura albuquerquei Machado 1964: 9 –15, figs. 4–5 (new species, description of male, illustration of S 10 in lateral and dorsal view, type material at ABMC). Lencioni 2005: 173, figs. 103 a–b (references, type locality, distribution, described stages, reproduction of original illustrations of male S 10 in lateral and dorsal view).  Garrison et al. 2010 : 352, 354, fig. 2340 (included in list of species, illustration of epiproct in posterior view).  Pessacq et al. 2012 : 4 (included in list of Brazilian Protoneuridae).
 Specimens examined. Holotype ♂, Brazil, Pará State, Parque Nacional do Tumueumaque, Óbidos, Aldeia Turió (Óbidos: 1°54’05”S, 55°31’16”W), leg. A.B.M. Machado & Acewa, ii 1963, ABMM.
 Diagnosis. The cercus and epiproct (Figs 25 a–c) morphology in E. albuquerquei is unique and distinguishes it from all other males of the genus; the cercus dorsal branch is parallel to main body axis and rounded in cross section, the ventral branch is small, approximately rounded and has two small tubercles on its medial side, difficult to see (Fig. 25 b, c), which are unique for this species. This species shares with E. angeloi Pessacq & Costa, 2010, and E. williamsoni Santos, 1957, a small black spine close to cercus apex on its inner margin (Fig. 25 a, b), but it is more developed in E. albuquerquei, almost like a posteriorly directed apical hook. The epiproct is also characteristic; its branches (Fig. 25 d) are parallel, narrow and long and separated at their bases by a considerable distance. Segment 3 of genital ligula (Fig. 52) is approximately quadrangular in ectal view, its sides are slightly elevated and the apex has a very shallow cleft; the postero-lateral projection is triangular without a developed peduncle. Female unknown.
 Distribution. Northern Brazil, in the States of Pará (type locality: Munhene river) and Amazonas (W of Itacoatiara, Garrison et al. 2010).
 Notes. The type locality given by Machado (1964) “Munhene river, tributary of river Parú do Oeste, 10 km from Aldeia dos Índios Tiriyó-Aramágoto, Óbidos (05°48’23” S, 63°32’13” W)” differs with the information on the holotype label (provided on specimen examined as mentioned above under specimens examined), I contacted Prof. Machado, who confirmed that the correct type locality is the one given in his paper (Machado 1964). The cerci of the holotype are separated from S10.

Employer Size and Labor Turnover
Creators: name: Idson, Todd
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Labor economics

description: This paper investigates the causes of higher tenure, and lower turnover, for workers at large plants or firms. The primary hypothesis investigated is that long-term employment relationships in large plants and firms stem from (1) the greater capacity of large employers to provide job opportunities within the enterprise and (2) the lower probability of business failure facing large producers. In addition to directly lowering turnover, these effects on average employment duration act to raise the expected returns from on-the-job training, resulting in higher levels of on-the-job training that in turn inhibit turnover. Furthermore, in order to protect these training investments, remuneration is characterized by mobility inhibiting wage premia and fringe benefits, and firms attempt to hire employees with lower mobility tendencies - both practices act to further reduce mobility. In addition to empirically evaluating the above view of the manner in which size of employer influences mobility outcomes, three additional factors are investigated that may account for the link between size and mobility, (1) working conditions, (2) monitoring difficulties, and (3) union organization threats.

Short-run and long-run expectations of the yen/dollar exchange rate

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Economics

description: The survey data of the yen/dollar exchange rate, collected twice a month for eight years from 1985 to 1993, shows the following features. First, the expected exchange rate changes in the short horizon (one month) is of the band-wagon type while the expected changes in the long horizon (three to six months) is of the mean-reversion type. That is, foreign exchange traders infers from recent appreciations or depreciation that the recent change in the exchange rate will continue for a while, but the direction of changes will reverse, eventually. Second, this result is robust for the entire sample period, which includes sub-periods of sharp yen appreciations and of relative calm, and with respect to different specifications. Third, the deviation from an equilibrium exchange rate does not yield a robust estimate in the regression of expectation formation. Although the history of the yen/dollar exchange rate fluctuations in the past two decades shows mean reversion over several years, they are not captured in the six-month expectations in the survey data.

description: In the years since the end of the Second World War the global economy, even that part of it which has traditionally been market-oriented, has shifted focus in many significant ways. Not least has been the necessity for economists in the older industrialized market countries to readjust from preoccupation largely with the industrialized economies of Europe and North America to paying significantly more attention to the countries of the Pacific. There have been variations among the growth rates of individual countries. But these differences cannot mask the major conclusion which emerges from consideration of regional growth rates-the burgeoning of the Pacific region as an economic force in the modern world. The rising importance of the Pacific, coupled with the refocusing of macroeconomic analysis generally from closed economy to open economy analysis, has meant that both for assessing economic growth and monitoring cyclical instability the Pacific Basin countries are a major new force to be reckoned with.

description:
Infections with enteric pathogens impose a heavy disease burden, especially among young children in low-income countries. Recent findings from randomized controlled trials of water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions have raised questions about current methods for assessing environmental exposure to enteric pathogens. Approaches for estimating sources and doses of exposure suffer from a number of shortcomings, including reliance on imperfect indicators of fecal contamination instead of actual pathogens and estimating exposure indirectly from imprecise measurements of pathogens in the environment and human interaction therewith. These shortcomings limit the potential for effective surveillance of exposures, identification of important sources and modes of transmission, and evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions. In this review, we summarize current and emerging approaches used to characterize enteric pathogen hazards in different environmental media as well as human interaction with those media (external measures of exposure), and review methods that measure human infection with enteric pathogens as a proxy for past exposure (internal measures of exposure). We draw from lessons learned in other areas of environmental health to highlight how external and internal measures of exposure can be used to more comprehensively assess exposure. We conclude by recommending strategies for advancing enteric pathogen exposure assessments.

description: "This is the common wisdom—that our bodies remain inactive and are thus inconspicuous to us when we become immersed in reading. It’s part of the story about being transported to another world and another body, or series of bodies, crafted of words. I want to suggest that this notion of the quiet, well-behaved body that doesn’t intrude into one’s reading is, itself, a fiction. And not because I am using the notion of body in a physiological sense to refer to the focusing of the eyes or the deciphering of phonological and graphic inscriptions. I am not even referring to the bodily arousal that one experiences in connection with familiar emotions, such as those elicited when we respond with sadness to the death of a long-suffering character, with joy to the reunion of a fictional family, or even to those emotions evoked from the crafting of the work, like admiration for a complex narrative or pleasure with rhythmical phrasing. This is not to say that this discussion of bodies will eschew talk of emotion--far from it--but that it comes in through the back door, as related to my central concern."

description: Quenches in an ion chain can create coherent superpositions of motional states across the linear-zigzag structural transition. The procedure has been described in [Phys. Rev. A 84, 063821 (2011)] and makes use of spin-dependent forces, so that a coherent superposition of the electronic states of one ion evolves into an entangled state between the chain's internal and external degrees of freedom. The properties of the crystalline state so generated are theoretically studied by means of Ramsey interferometry on one ion of the chain. An analytical expression for the visibility of the interferometric measurement is obtained for a chain of arbitrary number of ions and as a function of the time elapsed after the quench. Sufficiently close to the linear-zigzag instability the visibility decays very fast, but exhibits revivals at the period of oscillation of the mode that drives the structural instability. These revivals have a periodicity that is independent of the crystal size, and they signal the creation of entanglement by the quantum quench.

In this regime, one can have a Bose gas with all particles in scattering states (i.e. the "upper branch") with little loss even at unitarity over the duration of the experiment. We show that because of bosonic enhancement, pair formation is shifted to the atomic side of the original resonance (where scattering length $a_s<0$), opposite to the fermionic case. In a trap, a repulsive Bose gas remains mechanically stable when brought across resonance to the atomic side until it reaches a critical scattering length $a_{s}^{\ast}<0$. For $a_s

Subjects: Computer science

description: The purpose of this work is to lower the average number of features that are evaluated by an online algorithm. This is achieved by merging Sequential Analysis and Online Learning. Many online algorithms use the example's margin to decide whether the model should be updated. Usually, the algorithm's model is updated when the margin is smaller than a certain threshold. The evaluation of the margin for each example requires the algorithm to evaluate all the model's features. Sequential Analysis allows us to early stop the computation of the margin when uninformative examples are encountered. It is desirable to save computation on uninformative examples since they will have very little impact on the final model. We show the successful speedup of Online Boosting while maintaining accuracy on a synthetic and the MNIST data sets.

Memory and belief for religious content
Creators: name: Willard, Aiyana Koka
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Past research on the evolutionary origins of religion has looked at content biases as a way to explain the spread of religions in human cultures. Specifically, the memory bias found with minimally counter intuitive (MCI) content has been theorized to be the source of the spread and diversity of religion around the world. This research has paid little attention to how people come to believe in these concepts, and if this is due to a memory bias alone. A debate exists within the literature questioning if content bias is enough to establish belief in religious concepts, or if some other mechanism is required. The following research looks at this question of if the transmission of belief can be driven by a minimally counterintuitive content, or if a separate mechanism is required to make the step from memorability to belief. If minimally counterintuitive content violates our expectations of the world, it should show less belief than intuitive content because of this violation. In the following set of studies participants were presented with different types of MCI and intuitive content and then were asked to recall, and state their belief in, this content. In all of the studies, participants believed in MCI content less. The previously found memory bias was only replicated in one of the three studies. Participants were also given an individual difference measure of anthropomorphism as a way of measuring their propensity to apply MCI concepts to the everyday world. This was done to look at the hypothesis that as these beliefs become common, the preserved unusualness of the minimally counterintuitive violation, and subsequently the memory bias, should decrease. Supporting this, a negative relationship was found between memory for MCI content and the tendency to anthropomorphize. People who regularly anthropomorphize show less of a memory effect than those that do not. Together, these findings suggest that belief is not tied to the content biases and that as people come to see these concepts as a normal part of the world, the memory effects are decreased.

description: This qualitative research explores the life experiences of young adults who have grown up with a disability such as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Using grounded theory methodology, this research investigated the stories of 7 young adults who face the challenges of living with FASO. In-depth interviews were conducted, transcribed and analyzed through a process of comparative analysis; common themes were identified and used to formulate theoretical concepts. Results are presented from a life course perspective, exploring experiences from childhood through to young adulthood. Themes represent an initial experience of life as a "normal kid" that changed abruptly in late childhood or early adolescence. Late adolescence is described as a period of significant turmoil and despair. A significant shift is observed in the life course, however, by the early twenties. Themes begin to reflect a growing awareness of self, including an emerging understanding of what it means to live with FASD. There is a noticeable shift in the way that young adults talk about themselves and their lives, reflecting themes of a growing maturity and future orientation. This research expands beyond predicted pathways of life-time struggle, presenting the actions taken by young adults as they move forward in their lives. Psychosocial influences that positively impact the life course are also presented. Results are discussed in the context of typical development, including recent theory on the tasks and accomplishments of emerging adulthood.

description: Physaraia caudata (SZÉPLIGETI, 1914)
The record of Physaraia caudata (SZÉPLIGETI, 1914) from French Africa (? Djibouti) by DONALDSON (1989: 27) is an geographical error. The record is possibly from French Equatorial Africa (Central African Republic, Gabon, Republic of Congo), because this species is known from Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.

description: We present an analysis of 7Li/6Li isotope ratios along four sight lines that probe diffuse molecular gas near the supernova remnant IC 443. Recent gamma-ray observations have revealed the presence of shock-accelerated cosmic rays interacting with the molecular cloud surrounding the remnant. Our results indicate that the 7Li/6Li ratio is lower in regions more strongly affected by these interactions, a sign of recent Li production by cosmic rays. We find that 7Li/6Li ~ 7 toward HD 254755, which is located just outside the visible edge of IC 443, while 7Li/6Li ~ 3 along the line of sight to HD 43582, which probes the interior region of the supernova remnant. No evidence of 7Li synthesis by neutrino-induced spallation is found in material presumably contaminated by the ejecta of a core-collapse supernova. The lack of a neutrino signature in the 7Li/6Li ratios near IC 443 is consistent with recent models of Galactic chemical evolution, which suggest that the nu-process plays only a minor role in Li production.

description: There is a growing body of literature analyzing empirically the evolution of productivity dispersion at the firm level and its determinants. This paper contributes to this literature by investigating the case of Japanese firms during the so-called "Lost Decade" (1992-2005), which is still under-analyzed. We use a firm-level panel dataset taken from a large-scale administrative survey, the Basic Survey of Japanese Business Structure and Activities (BSBSA) for the years 1994-2003. Our results can be summarized as follows. First, we confirm that there was an overall increase in both labor productivity and total factor productivity dispersion, especially in the manufacturing sector from 1998 onward. Second, in the case of Japanese firms during the Lost Decade, and contrary to what has been found for some other countries, we find no significant impact of the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICT) on productivity dispersion. On the other hand, we do find evidence of a significant and positive impact of internationalization on productivity dispersion. In addition, the evolution of the competitive environment appears to play a role: we find that the increase in the Hershman-Herfindahl index observed in some sectors, which characterizes a more oligopolistic environment, is associated with an increase in productivity dispersion.
Optimal Quantum States for Image Sensing in Loss

description: We consider a general image sensing framework that includes many quantum sensing problems by an appropriate choice of image set, prior probabilities, and cost function. For any such problem, in the presence of loss and a signal energy constraint, we show that a pure input state of light with the signal modes in a mixture of number states minimizes the cost among all ancilla-assisted parallel strategies. Lossy binary phase discrimination with a peak photon number constraint and general lossless image sensing are considered as examples.

Kaehler metrics and gauge kinetic functions for intersecting D6-branes on toroidal orbifolds - The complete perturbative story

description: We systematically derive the perturbatively exact holomorphic gauge kinetic function, the open string Kaehler metrics and closed string Kaehler potential on intersecting D6-branes by matching open string one-loop computations of gauge thresholds with field theoretical gauge couplings in N=1 supergravity. We consider all cases of bulk, fractional and rigid D6-branes on T6/OR and the orbifolds T6/(Z(N)xOR) and T6/(Z(2)xZ(2M)xOR) without and with discrete torsion, which differ in the number of bulk complex structures and in the bulk Kaehler potential. Our analysis includes all supersymmetric configurations of vanishing and non-vanishing angles among D6-branes and O6-planes, and all possible Wilson line and displacement moduli are taken into account. The shape of the Kaehler moduli turns out to be orbifold independent but angle dependent, whereas the holomorphic gauge kinetic functions obtain three different kinds of one-loop corrections: a Kaehler moduli dependent one for some vanishing angle independently of the orbifold background, another one depending on complex structure moduli only for fractional and rigid D6-branes, and finally a constant term from intersections with O6-planes. These results are of essential importance for the construction of the related effective field theory of phenomenologically appealing D-brane models. As first examples, we compute the complete perturbative gauge kinetic functions and Kaehler metrics for some T6/Z(2)xZ(2) models with rigid D-branes of arXiv:0902.1694 [hep-th] by Angelantonj et al. As a second class of examples, the Kaehler metrics and gauge kinetic functions for the fractional QCD and leptonic D6-brane stacks of the Standard Model on T6/Z(6') from arXiv:0806.3039 [hep-th] by Gmeiner and Honecker are given.

Nonsuicidal self-injury in street-involved adolescents : identification of risk and protective factors

description: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), or the deliberate, direct, self-inflicted injury to body tissue that occurs in the absence of suicidal intent and developmental disabilities, is a serious and increasingly prevalent health risk among adolescents. Evidence suggests that vulnerable adolescents, such those that are street-involved, are at high risk for negative health outcomes, including NSSI. Using a theoretically and empirically derived model of risk and resilience, this study is the first to identify a broad range of risk and protective factors associated with NSSI. The study involved secondary analysis of data gathered using the Street-Involved Youth Health Survey (SYHS) with a sample of 762 adolescents aged 12-18 across British Columbia. Prevalence of NSSI was 56% and 34% for females and males, respectively, with sexual minority youth three times more likely to report this behaviour. Results from a series of logistic regression analyses revealed different models of risk and protection for males and females. At the multivariate level, the strongest risk factors for females were previous suicide attempt, risky behaviour, experiencing more consequences of substance use, sexual abuse by two or more perpetrators, and maternal problems. For males, the strongest risk factors were previous suicide attempt, risky behaviour, and being victim of relational aggression. The strongest modifiable protective factors for males and females were better emotional health and family connectedness, with school peer relations for males and subjective health status for females also showing significance. Probability profiles created from different combinations of the final set of salient factors highlight not only the multiplicative risk at play in these youths` lives but also the impact of protective factors to offset risk. For boys, with three risk factors (RF) and three protective factors (PF), the likelihood of NSSI ranged from 9% (0-RF, 3-PF) to 90% (3-RF, 0-PF). For girls, with three risk factors and two protective factors, the likelihood of NSSI ranged from 19% (0-RF, 2-PF) to 99% (3-RF, 0-PF). Profiles in this study underscore the value of risk and protection as powerful tools for developing the knowledge base on NSSI and for guiding prevention and intervention efforts.
Informational Leverage and the Endogenous Timing of Product Introductions
Creators: name: Choi, Jay Pil

Year: 1996
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper provides a new rationale for bundling based on informational leverage. It is demonstrated that physically tying a product of established quality to one of unknown quality may mitigate the problem of asymmetric information encountered in the latter market. Leveraging reputation in one market to provide information about product quality in a second market can have profound implications for the timing of new product introductions. Bundling motivated by informational leverage can enhance efficiency by timing of product introduction is considered, however, the welfare consequences of bundling are ambiguous. The positive effect of market creation must be weighed against the negative effect of market delay.
