description: Quantifying how key life-history traits respond to climatic change is fundamental in understanding and predicting long-term population prospects. Age at first reproduction (AFR), which affects fitness and population dynamics, may be influenced by environmental stochasticity but has rarely been directly linked to climate change. Here, we use a case study from the highly seasonal and stochastic environment in high-arctic Svalbard, with strong temporal trends in breeding conditions, to test whether rapid climate warming may induce changes in AFR in barnacle geese, Branta leucopsis. Using long-term mark-recapture and reproductive data (1991–2017), we developed a multi-event model to estimate individual age at first reproduction (AFR) (i.e. goslings produced). The annual probability of reproducing for the first time was negatively affected by population density but only for 2 year-olds, the earliest age of maturity. Furthermore, advanced spring onset (SO) positively influenced the probability of reproducing and even more strongly the probability of reproducing for the first time. Thus, because climate warming has advanced SO by two weeks, this likely led to an earlier AFR by more than doubling the probability of reproducing at 2 years-old. This may, in turn, impact important life-history trade-offs and long-term population trajectories.

description: This is the first known empirical study of rebirthing, a holistic self improvement process. In Experiment I, 26 subjects were randomly assigned to a Treatment Group or to a no treatment Control Group. Treatment consisted of a Rebirth Training Weekend. Subjects in the Treatment Group showed improvement on the Rotter's Internal vs External Locus of Control Test, Self Esteem Scale, Affirmation Scale, and Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist when taken one day, two weeks, and six months after the rebirth training weekend. These results are consistent with rebirthing proponents' claims of increased ability to be the locus of control in one's life, increased self-esteem, increased positive thinking, and decreased anxiety. The scores on the Marlowe-Crown Social Desirability Scale did not differ, indicating that the improvements after treatment are not attributable to lying to produce socially acceptable answers. Cohorts of the subjects as well as psychologists noticed positive changes in these subjects after rebirthing. In Experiment 2, two subjects rested, were rebirthed, and rested again, while eight of their physiological functions were automatically recorded. Volume of air exhaled, oxygen and carbon dioxide expired, pulse volume, pulse propagation time, skin potential response, and electromyograph changed during the rebirth. The interbeat interval did not vary significantly. The changes documented in both Experiment 1 and 2 appear to be consistent with the benefits claimed by rebirthers. Subjects appeared to derive beneficial cognitive, affective, and physiological results from the treatment. These findings indicate that rebirthing merits further serious research and shows promise as a valuable technique for self improvement.

Two-photon interference without bunching two photons

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We report an interference experiment in which the two-photon entangled state interference cannot be pictured in terms of the overlap and bunching of two individual photons on a beamsplitter. We also demonstrate that two-photon interference, or photon bunching effect on a beamsplitter, does not occur if the two-photon Feynman amplitudes are distinguishable, even though individual photons do overlap on a beamsplitter. Therefore, two-photon interference cannot be viewed as interference of two individual photons, rather it should be viewed as two-photon or biphoton interfering with itself. The results may also be useful for studying decoherence management in entangled two-qubit systems as we observe near complete restoration of quantum interference after the qubit pairs, generated by a femtosecond laser pulse, went through certain birefringent elements.

description: The Koerner’s pub, located on campus (6371 Crescent Rd., main entrance off West Mall), is interested in becoming even more sustainable, particularly in the areas of water and energy use. By implementing sustainable assessments on Koerner’s pub, the University of British Columbia could determine opportunities for further sustainable practices on other campus buildings. Thus, the pub is cooperating a team of the APSC 261 course to investigate its devices, working environment, and sustainability policies to develop and propose a strategy to enhance water sustainability. This project is finding and making recommendations on steps Koerner’s pub could take to enhance its sustainability in the area of water usage. Considering the pub has implemented a number of sustainability initiatives, including to-go containers, compostable napkins and straws, naturally raised and hormone-free meat, and Ocean-Wise certified seafood and fish, to improve its devices or purchase new equipment will be unnecessary, uneconomic and unsustainable. The most suitable option to enhance sustainability in the area of water usage is to strengthen awareness and cooperation of employers and employees with effectively water usage and water conservation. Thus, this project will provides useful recommendations with analysis on better sustainable water usage behavior between employers and employees instead of improving the devices or purchasing new equipment.

description: Within the context of the linear $\s$-model for two flavours, we investigate non-equilibrium phenomena that may occur during the QCD chiral phase transition in heavy-ion collisions. We assume that the chiral symmetry breaking is followed by a rapid quench so that the system falls out of thermal equilibrium. We study the mechanism for the amplification of the pion field during the oscillations of the $\s$-field towards and around its new minimum. We show that the pion spectrum develops a characteristic pronounced peak at low momenta.

description: A three-dimensional (3D) photonic band gap crystal is an ideal tool to completely inhibit the local density of optical states (LDOS) at every position in the crystal throughout the band gap. This notion, however, pertains to ideal infinite crystals, whereas any real crystal device is necessarily finite. This raises the question as to how the LDOS in the gap depends on the position and orientation inside a finite-size crystal. Therefore, we employ rigorous numerical calculations using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations of 3D silicon inverse woodpile crystals filled with air or with toluene, as previously studied in experiments. We find that the LDOS versus position decreases exponentially into the bulk of the crystal. From the dependence on dipole orientation, we infer that the characteristic LDOS decay length $\ell_ρ$ is mostly related to far-field dipolar radiation effects, whereas the prefactor is mostly related to near-field dipolar effects. The LDOS decay length has a remarkably similar magnitude as the Bragg length for directional transport, which suggests that the LDOS in the crystal is dominated by vacuum states that tunnel from the closest interface towards the position of interest. Our work leads to design rules for applications of 3D photonic band gaps in emission control and lighting, quantum information processing, and in photovoltaics.

INTRUSIVE SYSTEM: THE CASE OF AMERICAN POST-WAR INVOLVEMENT IN IRAN
Creators: name: Ghobadi, Jahangir
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Intrusive system is a theoretical concept developed by Louis J. Cantori and Steven L. Spiegel in the late 1960s to identify and explain external participation in the international politics of regions. The concept, defined as those aspects of foreign involvement which produce participation in the process of power distribution at the regional level, provides an effective tool of research within which data related to either historical or current events could be readily organized, carefully examined, and well understood. This dissertation is an attempt to demonstrate how the intrusive system approach could be applied to a case of foreign participation in the Middle East. American post-war involvement in Iran has been selected as the case study for two reasons. First, the official records of the U.S. government suggest that well before the final stage of World War II, American policymakers expected frictions among Allied Powers and planned accordingly to win the peace, not just the war. In this regard, Iran became a testing ground for the U.S. foreign policy to develop a pattern to be used for American relations with all less-favored associate nations. Second, the case is a success story of American intrusion into a country where Great Britain and the Soviet Union traditionally shared primacy in influence and involvement. The theoretical orientation is laid down in Part One through application of the intrusive system concept to the contemporary politics of the Middle East within the context of regional system theory. The conclusion is that the United States is the most intrusively involved power in the Middle East, and its participation fits into a pattern of superpowers' restrained mutual involvement. Part Two reviews the case of American post-war involvement in Iran and demonstrates that restrained mutual involvement was the pattern of Soviet and American participation from the beginning. It concludes that the U.S. intrusion enhanced the internal and external position of Iran enabling its Imperial leadership to overcome the peril of disintegration posed by the Soviet intrusion. The American intrusive involvement turned Iran into the first U.S.-Soviet contesting ground; influenced socio-political, economic, and ideological directions of Iranian post-war politics; and thus affected the course of events in the Middle East.

Small, similar to Aricia but smaller […] Antennae black, arista microscopically plumose, at base stronger […] palpi not long, fine, bearded, black […] legs simple, black, with bristles.]’ This species was not marked by Zetterstedt as ‘n. sp.’ SCHINER (1864a: 12) quoted it as ‘ Cleigastra aricina Zett. from Denmark’ and BECKER (1905: 1) regarded it as a valid species. It was not listed by GORODKOV (1986). Staeger is recognized by ZETTERSTEDT (1846) as author of the original description of Cordylura aricina, in contrast to papers of all subsequent specialists. However, the original paper of Staeger is so far unknown. Zetterstedt is accepted as the single author of the description. The identity of the species remains entirely unclear.

description: This paper focuses on indefinite stochastic mean-field linear-quadratic (MF-LQ, for short) optimal control problems, which allow the weighting matrices for state and control in the cost functional to be indefinite. The solvability of stochastic Hamiltonian system and Riccati equations is presented under both positive definite case and indefinite case. The optimal controls in open-loop form and closed-loop form are obtained, respectively. Moreover, the dynamic mean-variance problem can be solved within the framework of the indefinite MF-LQ problem. Other two examples shed light on the theoretical results established.

ACHIEVING STYLES AS A GAUGE FOR CO-WORKER PRODUCTIVITY IN COLLEGE STUDENT CO-CURRICULAR ENVIRONMENTS
Creators: name: Stewart, Greig Macleod
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study focused on the Lipman-Blumen and Leavitt (L-BLA) model of achieving styles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between co-worker achieving style compatibility (as measured by the Achieving Styles Inventory - ASI) and productivity of paired college students (as measured by the Desert Survival Problem - DSP). Significant results would support the use of the L-BLA achieving styles model as a discriminating filter for assigning effective work groups. A pool of 282 undergraduate students involved in co-curricular activities participated in this study. Each subject took the ASI in its three forms; SELF, LPC and MPC. From the scores of these inventories, subjects were assigned a SELF, LPC (least preferred co-worker) and MPC (most preferred co-worker) achieving style correlating to the highest style score for each subject's inventory. From this pool of subjects, three subsets of 20 pairs each were randomly formed. One pool consisted of complementary pairs of students, each possessing the other's MPC achieving style. Another group consisted of disharmonic pairs of students, each possessing the other's LPC achieving style. The final group consisted of randomly assigned pairs of students. Each pair engaged in the DSP. Scores from the DSP were analyzed to test the following hypotheses: (1)(a) The outcome of paired achievement will be greater when compatible achieving styles are matched. (b) The outcome of paired achievement will be even greater when compatible achieving styles equal the subjects' own achieving styles. (2) The outcome of paired achievement will be less when incompatible achieving styles are matched. The results of the three forms of the ASI (SELF, LPC and MPC) indicate discrimination among a subjects SELF, LPC and MPC achieving styles. Yet when using them as a sorting filter for assigning teams to engage in the DSP, statistics run on the DSP scores were found to be non-significant. These results indicate that presently there is no support for using the L-BLA achieving styles model as a sorting filter for designing effective work groups.

description: In superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) heterostructures, the exchange field $h_{ex}$ of the F-layer suppresses the superconducting order parameter in the S-layer via the proximity effect. One issue in current research is the effect of a domain state, or, more generally, different directions of $h_{ex}$, on the superconductivity. We used a pulsed-current technique in order to measure the superconducting transport properties of Cu$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$/Nb/Cu$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$ ($x$ = 0.54) F/S/F trilayers structured in strips of about 2 $μ$m wide and 20 $μ$m long as function of a small in-plane magnetic field. We find that the depairing current is tied to the magnetization behavior. In particular, we show that the suppression of superconductivity in the S-layer is smallest when the external magnetic field equals the coercive field H$_{c}$ of the F-layers.

A STUDY OF THE INCENTIVES AND OBSTACLES THAT INFLUENCE INACTIVE REGISTERED NURSES TO EITHER RETURN TO OR REMAIN OUT OF NURSING (DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA)
Creators: name: Sarver Sands, Judith Kay
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: There were two purposes for this study. The first was to identify the incentives and obstacles which influence the decisions of a sample of currently inactive District of Columbia registered nurses to either return or not to return to an active status in nursing. The second was to determine the distribution of the study sample by selected demographic characteristics and the importance they placed on the incentives and obstacles. The study was a descriptive survey. The Inactive Nurse Questionnaire, an instrument developed by the researcher, was administered through a telephone interview to a random sample of 300 inactive D.C. registered nurses who lived in the Washington metropolitan area. The sample was drawn from the 1982-1984 listing of D.C. registered nurses which contained 1900 inactive nurses. Valid questonnaires were completed through the interview process with 180 nurses. Frequency and percentage statistics were obtained through tabulation and cross-tabulation of the study data. Eight job incentives and eight obstacles were presented in the INQ. "Work schedules" was the overwhelming job incentive selection, chosen by respondents in every sub-category of background characteristic analyzed. "Orientation" was selected by respondents who had been inactive in nursing over ten years, and "child care" was selected by respondents with children under five. "Role stress," "family," and "job stress" were the three most frequently selected obstacles and were usually identified in combination with each other. The "another career" obstacle was a frequent selection of college educated and single respondents. Inactive D.C. nurses are not a primary souce of nursing personnel. Forty-nine percent of the sample were found to be retired, and 29 percent were unwilling to return to nursing regardless of the incentives. Institutions seeking to recruit the remaining 22 percent must be willing to offer attractive policies concerning part-time work, extended orientation programs, scheduling of hours, and possibly even child care. These strategies may also serve to prevent employed nurses from becoming inactive during what appears to be a critical period from the third to the seventh year of employment. Inactive nurses with baccalaureate education were more responsive to job incentives than nurses with other types of educational backgrounds.

description: The optical properties of monolayer and bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors are governed by excitons in different spin and valley configurations, providing versatile aspects for van der Waals heterostructures and devices. We present experimental and theoretical studies of exciton energy splittings in external magnetic field in neutral and charged WSe$_2$ monolayer and bilayer crystals embedded in a field effect device for active doping control. We develop theoretical methods to calculate the exciton $g$-factors from first principles and tight-binding for all possible spin-valley configurations of excitons in monolayer and bilayer WSe$_2$ including valley-indirect exciton configurations. Our theoretical and experimental findings shed light on some of the characteristic photoluminescence peaks observed for monolayer and bilayer WSe$_2$. In more general terms, the theoretical aspects of our work provide new guidelines for the characterization of single and few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides, as well as their heterostructures, in the presence of external magnetic fields.

description: A unitary quantum gas is a gas of quantum particles with a binary interaction of infinite scattering length and negligible range. It has been produced in recent experiments with gases of fermionic atoms by means of a Feshbach resonance. Using the Fermi pseudo-potential model for the atomic interaction, we show that the time evolution of such a gas in an isotropic three-dimensional time dependent harmonic trap is exactly given by a gauge and scaling transform.

Interaction-free generation of entanglement

description: In this paper, we study how to generate entanglement by interaction-free measurement. Using Kwiat et al.'s interferometer, we construct a two-qubit quantum gate that changes a particle's trajectory according to the other particle's trajectory. We propose methods for generating the Bell state from an electron and a positron and from a pair of photons by this gate. We also show that using this gate, we can carry out the Bell measurement with the probability of 3/4 at the maximum and execute a controlled-NOT operation by the method proposed by Gottesman and Chuang with the probability of 9/16 at the maximum. We estimate the success probability for generating the Bell state by our procedure under imperfect interaction.

Is NGC 5824 the Core of the Progenitor of the Cetus Stream?

description: A large number of new members ($\sim$150) of the Cetus Stream (CS) were identified from their clustering features in dynamical space using 6D kinematic data by combining LAMOST DR5 and Gaia DR2 surveys. They map a diffuse structure that extends over at least 100 degrees in the northern and southern Galactic hemispheres, at heliocentric distances between 20 to 50 kpc. Taking advantage of this expanded dataset, we model the stream with a suite of tailored N-body simulations. Our findings exclude the possibility that the NGC 5824 globular cluster is the core of the progenitor of the stream, as postulated by previous studies. Our best models, which successfully reproduce the features of the CS indicate that the progenitor is likely a dwarf galaxy of $\sim$ 2$\times$10$^9$M$_{\odot}$, with a diffuse disc morphology. The merger occured $\sim$ 5 Gyr ago and since then it has experienced approximately eight apo-center passages. Our results suggest that NGC 5824 was either a globular cluster situated off-centre in the dwarf progenitor or, alternatively, it was the nuclear star cluster of another dwarf galaxy that has very similar orbit as the progenitor of the CS. In both scenarios, the progenitor systems would leave streams around NGC 5824, but with distinct distance distributions. To discriminate between these scenarios, the detection and accurate distance measurements of the predicted stream around the GC are crucial, which will be possible in the upcoming LSST era. Our simulations also predict that part of the Southern Cetus stream is very likely the newly discovered Palca stream, and possibly related to another, more diffuse Southern substructure, the Eridanus-Pheonix overdensity.

description: There were two purposes for this study. The first was to identify the incentives and obstacles which influence the decisions of a sample of currently inactive District of Columbia registered nurses to either return or not to return to an active status in nursing. The second was to determine the distribution of the study sample by selected demographic characteristics and the importance they placed on the incentives and obstacles. The study was a descriptive survey. The Inactive Nurse Questionnaire, an instrument developed by the researcher, was administered through a telephone interview to a random sample of 300 inactive D.C. registered nurses who lived in the Washington metropolitan area. The sample was drawn from the 1982-1984 listing of D.C. registered nurses which contained 1900 inactive nurses. Valid questonnaires were completed through the interview process with 180 nurses. Frequency and percentage statistics were obtained through tabulation and cross-tabulation of the study data. Eight job incentives and eight obstacles were presented in the INQ. "Work schedules" was the overwhelming job incentive selection, chosen by respondents in every sub-category of background characteristic analyzed. "Orientation" was selected by respondents who had been inactive in nursing over ten years, and "child care" was selected by respondents with children under five. "Role stress," "family," and "job stress" were the three most frequently selected obstacles and were usually identified in combination with each other. The "another career" obstacle was a frequent selection of college educated and single respondents. Inactive D.C. nurses are not a primary souce of nursing personnel. Forty-nine percent of the sample were found to be retired, and 29 percent were unwilling to return to nursing regardless of the incentives. Institutions seeking to recruit the remaining 22 percent must be willing to offer attractive policies concerning part-time work, extended orientation programs, scheduling of hours, and possibly even child care. These strategies may also serve to prevent employed nurses from becoming inactive during what appears to be a critical period from the third to the seventh year of employment. Inactive nurses with baccalaureate education were more responsive to job incentives than nurses with other types of educational backgrounds.

title: Exploring The Perceptions That Social Care Students Have About The Value Of Co-Producing Multimedia Portfolios With People With Learning Difficulties
Creators: name: Fine, Amanda
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: This research aimed to uncover the perspectives of twenty social care students working with ten post-16 learners with learning difficulties in the co-production of multimedia portfolios. The students’ reflective journals written about their work with the learners, revealed insights into the working practices of the institutions where they were based and the obstacles that they faced in achieving their goals with their learners. Three core categories identified in the data were: context, student anxiety over time-constraint, and student satisfaction. The study outlines the aims and objectives illustrating the potential for the research to contribute to academic knowledge, and make a difference to work concerned with developing accessible platforms of communication with people with learning difficulties. Finally, the research discusses the implications of the study, theorising ways in which co-producing multimedia portfolios can be developed as a means of self advocacy for people with learning difficulties.

description: Based on first-principles simulations and calculations, we explore the evolution of crystal structure, electronic structure and transport properties of quasi 2D layered PdS2 under uniaxial stress and hydrostatic pressure. The coordination of the Pd ions plays crucial roles in the structural transition, electronic structure and transport properties of PdS2. An interesting ferroelastic phase transition with lattice reorientation is revealed under uniaxial compressive stress, which originates from the bond reconstructions of the unusual PdS4 square-planar coordination. By contrast, the layered structure transforms to 3D cubic pyrite-type structure under hydrostatic pressure. In contrast to the experimental proposed coexistence of layered PdS2-type structure with cubic pyrite-type structure at intermediate pressure range, we predict that the compression-induced intermediate phase showing the same structural symmetry with the ambient phase, except of sharply contracted interlayer-distances. The coordination environments of the Pd ions have changed from square-planar to distorted octahedra in the intermediate phase, which results in the bandwidth broaden and orbital-selective metallization. In addition, the superconductivity comes from the cubic pyrite-type structure protected topological nodal-line states. The strong correlations between structural transition, electronic structure and transport properties in PdS2 provide a platform to study the fundamental physics of the interplay between crystal structure and transport behavior, and the competition between diverse phases.
