description: In this paper we deal with neutron stars, which are described by a perfect fluid model, in the context of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity. We use numerical simulations to find the relationship between the angular momentum of the field and the angular momentum of the source. Such a relation was established for each stable star reached by the numerical simulation once the code is fed with an equation of state, the central energy density and the ratio between polar and equatorial radii. We also find a regime where linear relation between gravitational angular momentum and moment of inertia (as well as angular velocity of the fluid) is valid. We give the spatial distribution of the gravitational energy and show that it has a linear dependence with the squared angular velocity of the source.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fish larvae have the ability to change their vertical position in the water column and thusly cannot be treated as passive particles in coupled biological-physical individualbased models (IBMs). The vertical variability of light, turbulence, temperature, prey, predators, and horizontal currents in the ocean affects the survival of larval fish through effects on feeding, growth, advection, and predation mortality. A dynamic model of the vertical position of larval fish in response to individual state and environmental conditions is needed for use in three-dimensional IBMs. A 1-dimensional model was constructed of an idealized water column representative of spring conditions on the southern flank of Georges Bank. The water column was used to test six behavioral rules of individuals parameterized as larval haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) under different conditions of prey and turbulence stratification. Our objectives were to determine how behaviors based on different state and environmental variables affect depth distribution and mortality, and which behaviors produce a vertical distribution most similar to observations. Individuals applying behaviors associated with feeding had distributions comparable to observations and the highest survival. The use of behaviors derived from a trade-off between gut fullness and visual predation led to distributions unlike observations and high starvation mortality of the largest larval size class. Results suggest that larvae should make their vertical behavior decisions based on the risk of starvation rather than predation. A realistic model of larval haddock vertical position could be developed using only behaviors related to its prey distribution and foraging success

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Black rockfish Sebastes cheni is a dominant component of fish fauna in vegetated habitats in temperate waters of east Asia. Larval and juvenile rockfish immigrate to macloalgae (Sargassum spp.) beds in early March at a total length of 20 mm and then inhabit in seagrass (Zostera spp.) beds through summer in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. We tested the hypothesis that seasonal changes in vegetation of coastal habitats affect mortality and production of the larval and juvenile rockfish and propose the importance of conservation of coastal habitats referring phenology of different types of vegetation (eg. macloalgae and seagrass). Physical and biological surveys were conducted from February to August in macloalgae and seagrass beds in central Seto Inland Sea. Based on the otolith daily ring analysis, rockfish larvae and juveniles were divided into the sama hatch-date cohorts, each covering a 10-day extrusion period. Increase in cohort-specific mortality coefficient with decrease in vegetation and results from mesocosm experiments showed that vegetation contributed as predation refuge for the rockfish larvae and juveniles. The mortality coefficients of fish at 20-50 mm (macloalgae-dependent period: March to May) were higher that those at 50-80 mm (seagrass-dependent period: June to August). The macloalgae grow during winter and seagrass during summer in the temperate waters of Japan. Therefore, co-existence of these two different types of vegetation, macloalgae and seagrass, within a small spatial scale can increase the accumulative survival of young-of-the-year rockfish from post-immigration period (March) through summer in the Seto Inland Sea.

description: We apply the flow equation method for studying the current-current response function of electron systems with the pairing instability. To illustrate the specific scheme in which the flow equation procedure determines the two-particle Green's functions we reproduce the standard response kernel of the BCS superconductor. We next generalize this non-perturbative treatment considering the pairing field fluctuations. Our study indicates that the residual diamagnetic behavior detected above the transition temperature in the cuprate superconductors can originate from the noncondensed preformed pairs.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A three-dimensional structure of the in situ flow in the coastal region of Barbados served to model larval transport, using a turbulent scheme to predict diffusion, and the observed ontogenetic vertical migration behavior of larval cohorts of the bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus). Larval fluxes and observed declines in cohort densities were used to calculate age-specific instantaneous mortality rates throughout the entire pelagic duration. By tracking a total of 17 cohorts over station separation of 1 x 2 km, we were able to separate advective losses from natural mortality, which mean rates were estimated 0.38 d-1 and 0.20 d-1 , respectively. Both natural mortality rates and advective losses decreased with cohort age, the latter as a result of ontogenetic vertical migration. Differential retention rates in the near field during the pelagic phase caused variations in age-specific survival rates of local settlers.
A gender analysis of Iranian middle school textbooks

Year: 2012

description: This study examines gender inequity in three Iranian middle school textbooks, and explores the efforts that Iranian women make to adopt, negotiate and resist the sexist indoctrinations of the textbooks. This thesis consists of two phases. The first phase contains a content analysis of the grade 6 Farsi Language Arts, grade 7 English as a Foreign Language, and grade 8 Natural Sciences textbooks taught in the academic year 2011-2012 in Iran. The second phase of the thesis analyzes the oral history interviews conducted with three female engineers regarding their K-12 and university education in Iran. The findings of the content analysis reveal that sexist indications permeate Iranian textbooks. Compared to men, women have a pale presence in the books. Women and girls are depicted, for the most part, in the domestic sphere, and their role as mothers and nurturers are stressed in stories, poems, and illustrations. An analysis of the women’s interviews and archival documents; however, indicate that despite the sexist instructions of the textbooks, Iranian women are endeavouring to destabilise the cultural and political structures that curtail their rights. Today Iranian women are actively present in the public sphere; some of them are stepping into territories that have been long regarded as male-only grounds. By so doing, these women are gradually dismantling patriarchal systems of power.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the cultural adaptability of full time faculty in the College of Health Sciences, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. The sample consisted of 40 health science faculty representing dental hygiene, medical laboratory sciences, nursing and physical therapy. The principal investigator personally administered the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI), a 50 item instrument, which contains questions to measure the construct cultural adaptability and its four dimensions: emotional resilience, flexibility/openness, perceptual acuity and personal autonomy. The CCAI is not targeted to one particular culture, but rather is designed to be culture general.

Analysis of variance revealed no statistically significant difference, at the 0.05 level, in the overall CCAI scores among dental hygiene, medical laboratory sciences, nursing and physical therapy faculty. Analysis of CCAI scores among dental hygiene, medical laboratory sciences, nursing and physical therapy faculty, using analysis of variance revealed no statistically difference, at the 0.05 level, in emotional resilience, perceptual acuity and personal autonomy. In the dimension flexibility /openness, a significant difference was exhibited between the physical therapy and medical laboratory sciences faculty.

Overall, all four faculty groups exhibited higher average CCAI scores than the CCAI norm group which consisted of individuals with cross-cultural experience and training. Results suggest that the majority of the health science faculty possess qualities necessary to be cross-culturally adaptable. These qualities provide a strong foundation for the development of additional competence in cross-cultural healthcare and for preparing practitioners who can provide culturally sensitive healthcare.

description: By operating traveling movie shows, managing nickelodeons and neighborhood theatres, playing musical accompaniments to films, selling tickets, and singing illustrated songs, thousands of pioneering women, long neglected in published histories, made vital contributions to the development of film exhibition throughout the silent film era. How did female exhibitors gain a foothold in the business in the first thirty years of film history, and why were all but the ubiquitous girl at the box office marginalized? Professionalization, at least in the US film industry, was a gendered process that negatively affected women, and eventually created a masculinized industry. Despite their eviction from picture palace management, women would nevertheless continue to work in all areas of theatres and would remain important as small town and rural exhibitors throughout Hollywood history.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Historical interest in understanding the larval stage of high-latitude fishes has provided extensive insight into feeding-related processes that can influence larval fish mortality. However, the feeding dynamics of larvae that occur in lower latitudes, especially those that primarily inhabit oceanic waters, is notably limited. From monthly sampling across the Straits of Florida (SOF) over two years, we acquired data on the feeding ecologies of 21 taxa of fish larvae in order to elucidate levels of feeding success, as well the degree to which this subset of the larval fish community relies upon specific zooplankton prey types. Larval taxa examined included billfishes, tunas, mackerels, and seven families of coral reef fishes. All but one taxon examined for gut contents (total n = 3138) had feeding incidences near 100%. Additionally, gut evacuation was rapid and occurred in ~3 hr, indicating successful and frequent prey consumption. These observations, in conjunction with the fact that larvae withstand a nightly non-feeding period (10- 14 hrs in low-latitudes), point to the possibility that fish larvae in these waters experience low or even negligible levels of starvation mortality, although additional efforts specifically addressing this possibility are needed. Furthermore, diets of larvae were taxon-specific and often extremely narrow, illustrating very selective feeding among a high diversity of available zooplankton prey. Two notable characteristics of the diets of these larvae were high reliance upon appendicularians by several taxa and the prevalence of piscivory, which appears to be exhibited by over 30 species of scombroid larvae that occur in the SOF.

description: In 1926, the Los Angeles Times informed readers that “one of the most important positions in the motion-picture industry is held almost entirely by women” whose job it was to assemble “thousands of feet of film so that it tells an interesting story in the most straightforward manner” (B7). Assembling reels and cutting negatives was tedious work that often fell to young working-class women. However, out of the ranks of these film joiners and negative cutters emerged a handful of women who would help to develop the editing techniques that would become the hallmark of Hollywood’s visual style.

description: This project began just after the centennial celebration of the motion picture, during a distinct turn to historiography in the field, and in the light of intriguing new evidence that continues to surface. We set out to prove that women were not just screen actresses in the silent era, in the two decades before the advent of synchronized sound motion pictures. Carrying over the impetus from the 1970s, we looked first for evidence that they had worked as directors but in the process we found that they had been not just directors. Women’s participation in the first two decades was both deeper and wider than previously thought. In addition to costume designer, as one might expect, the researchers on this project found, as one might not expect, camera operators as well as exhibitors (theatre owner and/or theatre manager). In her groundbreaking business history of women filmmakers in the silent era, Karen Mahar adds the colorist and the film joiner as well as the supervisor and the executive producer to this list.1 At first, many jobs were not necessarily gender-typed, she says. In the first decade, however, some departments became exclusively organized along gender lines, with editing or joining being the most visibly gendered work.

description: We show theoretically how quantum interference between linearly coupled modes with weak local nonlinearity allows the generation of continuous variable entanglement. By solving the quantum master equation for the density matrix, we show how the entanglement survives realistic levels of pure dephasing. The generation mechanism forms a new paradigm for entanglement generation in arrays of coupled quantum modes.

description: If, as Gertrude Price claimed in 1914, the movies were “a great new field for women,” 1 that field encompassed far more than acting, which drew many star-struck girls to Los Angeles, or being hired for a range of professional positions in producing and marketing films. Indeed, extending that field to include newspapers, for instance, allows one to argue that women journalists played a significant role in the emergence of early American popular film culture in the mid-1910s. 2 Specifically, that role involved women with writing skills who edited pages devoted to the movies in weekend newspaper editions as well as compiled gossip on stars and reviewed films, often in daily columns. In Chicago alone, at least three women quickly exerted considerable influence: Mae Tinee (Frances Peck) and Kitty Kelly (Audrey Alspaugh) at the Chicago Tribune, and Louella Parsons at the Chicago Herald. But did many women continue to write about the movies in newspapers beyond the mid-1910s; and, if they did, in which papers, in what capacities, and with what kind of impact? Samantha Barbas and Hilary Hallett, from different perspectives, 3 have shown that Parsons became even more influential in the late 1910s and early 19120s, but was she at all representative, one of a select few, or an anomaly? And how can a historian go about addressing such questions?

description: Currently used methods for the description of thermodynamics of ferroelectric thin films (Landau theory or ab initio based Monte-Carlo simulations) are based on an energy expansion in terms of internal degrees of freedom. It was shown that these methods can suffer from a substantial inaccuracy unless higher-order electromechanical interactions are not taken into account. The high-order electromechanical couplings strongly renormalize the sixth-power polarization terms of the thermodynamic energy expansion. In this paper, apart from the general statement, we illustrate it with an example of a temperature - misfit strain phase diagram of a BaTiO3 thin film derived with high-order electromechanical interactions evaluated using first principles calculations.

African American women in motion pictures

description: In the first decades of the twentieth century, five African-American women filmmakers helped to establish the US cinema industry and to better the representation of African-Americans on film. Hailing from different regions of the country, from Kansas City, Missouri, to Montclair, New Jersey, to Washington DC, they were geographically separated but united by a belief that the motion picture was socially transformative. Some tried to make a living for a short time from their film work while others seemed to have made one motion picture and disappeared from the field altogether. These women wanted to present a vision of the life of African Americans that was authentic, and in attempting this they were often entrepreneurial, arranging theatrical exhibition and distribution or taking film prints directly to audiences themselves in order to reach more communities. Apart from their risk-taking and trailblazing, their efforts to shift the prevailing view of African Americans is what binds them, marking their achievements as emblematic of a movement to establish the validity of the lives of African Americans. While the recent wave of interest in African-American director-producer Oscar Micheaux and the “race movie” makers of his time has helped to confirm and affirm the existence of black independent filmmakers in the silent era, the resulting research largely uncovered only the men involved.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Vertical Life Table method was used to estimate stage-specific daily mortality rates and survival from 1999 to 2006 for Calanus finmarchicus sampled in the Canadian Atlantic Zonal Monitoring Program (AZMP), which covers the Newfoundland Shelf (NLS), Gulf of St. Lawrence (GLS) and Scotian Shelf (SS). Stage-specific mortality rates and survival showed significant regional and seasonal differences with the largest signal associated with variations in temperature. Densitydependent mortality, associated with the abundance of C6 females, was the predominant factor affecting mortality in the egg-C1 transition during the period of population growth in spring on the SS and in summer in the GSL and on the NLS. In autumn, mortality in egg-C1 was positively related to temperature and negatively related to phytoplankton biomass, with particularly high mortality rates occurring on the SS. The integration of our results into stage-specific recruitment rates from egg to C5 revealed that C. finmarchicus populations experience their greatest loss (mortality) during the egg-C1 transition. Loss during development to C1 was higher in the GSL than in other regions during the period of population growth, resulting in lower recruitment success in the GSL. In autumn, C. finmarchicus showed low stage-specific daily recruitment rates on the SS at high temperatures and low phytoplankton biomass compared with those in the GSL and on the NLS. Our findings reinforce the necessity of describing regional and seasonal patterns in mortality and survival in order to understand factors controlling the population dynamics of C. finmarchicus.

Strategies to increase the sugar concentration and overall sugar recovery from steam pretreated wheat straw and corn stover
Creators: name: Chanis Morales, Carolina Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Wheat straw is available in western Canada and it is a potential feedstock for bio-ethanol production as it can be effectively fractionated into simple sugars using acid catalyzed, steam pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. Steam pretreatment is usually a compromise whereby conditions that facilitate effective enzymatic hydrolysis at low enzyme loadings usually sacrifice the recovery of the hemicellulose component. Previous work that tried to optimize the pretreatment to maximize hemicellulose recovery was usually done at the expense of using unacceptably high enzyme loadings to hydrolyze the cellulosic fraction. The goal in this thesis was to determine the highest possible amount of sugar that could be solubilized after both pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis while using low enzyme loadings and high solids concentration. It was anticipated that the optimum conditions for maximizing the total soluble sugar yield would still result in the degradation of a portion of the hemicellulose. The biomass handling conditions were first investigated to identify the best possible conditions to maximize sugar recovery. An optimized moisture content combined with the explosive decompression resulted in the highest xylose recovery. It was also found that H₂SO₄ could be used at a loading of 1.5% w/w to produce a substrate with similar chemical composition, sugar recovery and ease of enzymatic hydrolysis to what was obtained when using 3% SO₂ as the catalyst. The pretreatment conditions were then varied to determine the effect of pretreatment severity on the recovery of total soluble sugars. The highest soluble sugar yield of 75% was obtained after pretreatment at 190°C, 8 min and 1.5% H₂SO₄. This is among the highest sugar yields that have been reported and comparable to those reported when using a three-fold higher enzyme loading. However, at these conditions only 52% of the original xylan was recovered. A less severely treated substrate with 70% xylan recovery achieved a total soluble sugar yield of 72% when the “cellulase mixture” was supplemented with xylanases. Thus, pretreatments at lower severities followed by enzymatic hydrolysis using a “cellulase mixture” with xylanase supplementation may be an effective approach to improve the total soluble sugar yield when processing wheat straw.

During this historical period, women were not provided with the same educational opportunities as men. Despite this, Zagorka received a solid private education due to her family’s upper class status. In 1891, as a reaction to her expressing desire to become an actress, Zagorka’s parents arranged for her to marry a Hungarian man whom she did not know. After three years of marriage, which, according to Dragutin Prohaska, Zagorka likened to being “subjected to a moral inquisition” (qtd. in Jakobović Fribec 2006, 196), she fled from her husband, eventually settling in Zagreb. In Croatia’s capital, she started her pioneering journalistic career, becoming the first female journalist in the country and in the region of South East Europe more broadly. Her first journalistic piece was published in 1896 in Obzor, at the time the most esteemed Croatian daily. She was a political journalist, but was often not allowed to publish under her real name. Obzor’s editor-in-chief famously referred to her as “a crone with no name or reputation, a cowgirl from Zagorje and, what’s more, infected with a socialist mentality and feminist notions” (Lasić 1986, 69). Moreover, she was made to work in a separate room behind a curtain out of fear that a woman’s presence would scandalize the visitors of the newspaper’s offices.

description: From a non-constant holomorphic map on a connected Riemann surface we construct an 'etale second countable locally compact Hausdorff groupoid whose associated groupoid C*-algebra admits a one-parameter group of automorphisms with the property that its KMS states corresponds to conformal measures in the sense of Sullivan. In this way certain quadratic polynomials give rise to quantum statistical models with a phase transition arising from spontaneous symmetry breaking.

On the Origin of the High Column Density Turnover in the HI Column Density Distribution

description: We study the high column density regime of the HI column density distribution function and argue that there are two distinct features: a turnover at NHI ~ 10^21 cm^-2 which is present at both z=0 and z ~ 3, and a lack of systems above NHI ~ 10^22 cm^-2 at z=0. Using observations of the column density distribution, we argue that the HI-H2 transition does not cause the turnover at NHI ~ 10^21 cm^-2, but can plausibly explain the turnover at NHI > 10^22 cm^-2. We compute the HI column density distribution of individual galaxies in the THINGS sample and show that the turnover column density depends only weakly on metallicity. Furthermore, we show that the column density distribution of galaxies, corrected for inclination, is insensitive to the resolution of the HI map or to averaging in radial shells. Our results indicate that the similarity of HI column density distributions at z=3 and z=0 is due to the similarity of the maximum HI surface densities of high-z and low-z disks, set presumably by universal processes that shape properties of the gaseous disks of galaxies. Using fully cosmological simulations, we explore other candidate physical mechanisms that could produce a turnover in the column density distribution. We show that while turbulence within GMCs cannot affect the DLA column density distribution, stellar feedback can affect it significantly if the feedback is sufficiently effective in removing gas from the central 2-3 kpc of high-redshift galaxies. Finally, we argue that it is meaningful to compare column densities averaged over ~ kpc scales with those estimated from quasar spectra which probe sub-pc scales due to the steep power spectrum of HI column density fluctuations observed in nearby galaxies.

description: Objectives: To characterize patients who received tracheostomies for airway compromise or were initiated on long-term ventilation for chronic respiratory failure in pediatric intensive care units (PICU), and to examine variation in the incidence of initiation, patient characteristics, and modalities across sites. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional analysis.
Settings: Seventy three North American PICUs that participated in the Virtual Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Performance System.
Patients: PICU patients admitted between 2009 and 2011.
Interventions: None.
Measurements and Main Results: Among 115,437 PICU patients, 1.8% received a tracheostomy or were initiated on long-term ventilation; 1034 received a tracheostomy only, 717 were initiated on invasive ventilation (IV), and 381 were initiated on noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Ninety percent had substantial chronic conditions and comorbidities, including more than 50% with moderate or worse cerebral disability upon discharge. Seven percent were initiated after a catastrophic injury/event. Across sites, there was variation in incidence of tracheotomy and initiation of long-term ventilation, ranging 0–4.6%. There also was variation in patient characteristics, time to tracheotomy, number of extubations prior to tracheostomy, and the use of IV versus NIV.
Conclusions: While the PICU incidence of initiation of tracheostomies and long-term ventilation was relatively uncommon, it suggests that thousands of children and young adults receive these interventions each year in North American PICUs. The majority of them have conditions and comorbidities that impose on-going care needs, beyond those required by artificial airways and long-term ventilation themselves.

description: As the first step towards developing noncommutative geometry over Hecke C*-algebras, we study property (RD) (Rapid Decay) for Hecke pairs. When the subgroup H in a Hecke pair (G,H) is finite, we show that the Hecke pair (G,H) has (RD) if and only if G has (RD). This provides us with a family of examples of Hecke pairs with property (RD). We also adapt Paul Jolissant's works in 1989 to the setting of Hecke C*-algebras and show that when a Hecke pair (G,H) has property (RD), the algebra of rapidly decreasing functions on the set of double cosets is closed under holomorphic functional calculus of the associated (reduced) Hecke C*-algebra. Hence they have the same K_0-groups.
description: A short note added explaining other methods to prove that the subalgebra of rapidly decreasing functions is smooth. This is the final version as published. The published version is available at: springer.com
Device-independent bounds for Hardy's experiment

description: In this Letter we compute an analogue of Tsirelson's bound for Hardy's test of nonlocality, that is, the maximum violation of locality constraints allowed by the quantum formalism, irrespective of the dimension of the system. The value is found to be the same as the one achievable already with two-qubit systems, and we show that only a very specific class of states can lead to such maximal value, thus highlighting Hardy's test as a device-independent self-test protocol for such states. By considering realistic constraints in Hardy's test, we also compute device-independent upper bounds on this violation and show that these bounds are saturated by two-qubit systems, thus showing that there is no advantage in using higher-dimensional systems in experimental implementations of such test.

description: Esterina Zuccarone was born in Foggia, in southern Italy, into a family of seven daughters and one son. In 1912 her family moved to Turin, joining the flow of migrants from the South to the North of Italy that, in those years, involved many people. The transition from a rural to an industrial society allowed Esterina to grow up with more emancipated female role models, starting with her older sisters who, in the new urban environment, decided to leave home to find work (de Miro d’Ayeta 2007, 229). In particular, one of her sisters started working in one of the numerous local textile mills, allowing the young Esterina to familiarize herself with skills such as precision, sense of proportion, and attention to detail, which were necessary to produce good quality and stylish garments.

description: Cow's milk is a major component of most of our diets, but concerns about its ingestion have been in and out of public health dialogues for decades. Raw milk has long been associated with numerous foodborne illnesses and outbreaks due to enteric and opportunistic bacteria such as Brucella, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia, Campylobactor species, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli species.1,2Mycobacterium bovis infection was transmitted to humans following drinking unpasteurized milk from infected cows, causing tuberculosis and scrofula.3 Pasteurization, in which milk is heated to 161°F for at least 15 seconds and then cooled, was intended to reduce or eliminate the microbial content, thus decreasing the risk for serious bacterial infections and prolonging the shelf life.4 Since the 1920s, universal pasteurization of milk and milk products has lessened significantly the incidence of these serious infections.3,5 At the start of the obesity epidemic in the United States in the 1980s, milk was drawn into the public spotlight when the fat in whole milk was considered partly responsible for weight gain and the associated metabolic and cardiovascular complications. When the 1995 US Department of Agriculture guidelines recommended switching from whole milk to reduced-fat milk,6 consumption of whole milk plummeted in favor of low-fat varieties.

description: Using a simple quantum master equation approach, we calculate the Full Counting Statistics of a single electron transistor strongly coupled to vibrations. The Full Counting Statistics contains both the statistics of integrated particle and energy currents associated to the transferred electrons and phonons. A universal as well as an effective fluctuation theorem are derived for the general case where the various reservoir temperatures and chemical potentials are different. The first relates to the entropy production generated in the junction while the second reveals internal information of the system. The model recovers Franck-Condon blockade and potential applications to non-invasive molecular spectroscopy are discussed.

description: The family mode of production in the early motion picture industry was firmly established by stage actors and theater management veterans Edwin and Gertrude Thanhouser with brother-in-law and journalist Lloyd F. Lonergan. The three joined forces in 1909 to establish what would become one of America’s pioneering independent silent motion picture studios during what is known as the “transitional” era in early cinema. The talent and the uniqueness of each family member blended seamlessly to create one of the most popular and successful independent motion picture production companies in America’s burgeoning motion picture industry. Under their leadership, the Thanhouser studio strove for and produced high quality films, and by the summer of 1910, Thanhouser films were praised by The New York Dramatic Mirror: “…Thanhouser pictures, of course, rank highest [among the independent producers]” (Woods 1910, 20). The Mutual Film Corporation, a major Chicago-based film distributor, recognized the success of this independent enterprise and, in April 1912, acquired the company under the leadership of Charles J. Hite as one of several to produce films to be distributed to exhibitors under the Mutual banner (McQuade 1912, 212).

description: Rastall's theory is based on the non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor. We show that, in this theory, if we introduce a two-fluid model, one component representing vacuum energy whereas the other pressureless matter (e.g. baryons plus cold dark matter), the cosmological scenario is the same as for the ΛCDM model, both at background and linear perturbative levels, except for one aspect: now dark energy may cluster. We speculate that this can lead to a possibility of distinguishing the models at the non-linear perturbative level.
