description: This research explores the determinants of effective beginning farmer programming and implications for emerging and established programs. We use responses from 100 interviews with participants in the Building Farmers in the West Program, one of the longest-standing beginning farmer training programs in the United States, to understand how key course principles predict improved farm profitability. Results show that specific production changes after taking the course—including the number of cultivated varieties (negative), number of farm enterprises (positive), and length of production season (positive)—are correlated with improved farm profitability. We make recommendations for future beginning farmer programming based on these results.

description: This paper investigates the different effects of chaotic switching on Parrondo's games, as compared to random and periodic switching. The rate of winning of Parrondo's games with chaotic switching depends on coefficient(s) defining the chaotic generator, initial conditions of the chaotic sequence and the proportion of Game A played. Maximum rate of winning can be obtained with all the above mentioned factors properly set, and this occurs when chaotic switching approaches periodic behavior.

Predictors of Relapse Following Treatment of Trichotillomania
Creators: name: Falkenstein, Martha J.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study sought to identify predictors of relapse in a stepped-care behavior therapy trial for trichotillomania, or hair-pulling disorder. More information is needed about patient variables that may predict relapse, which could be helpful to clinicians in planning how to better serve patients during treatment. The roles of abstinence from pulling, residual urges during abstinence, comorbid depression, hair pulling severity, and intrinsic motivation were evaluated. Of these possible predictors, abstinence at the conclusion of treatment was found to significantly predict maintenance. Another contribution was the introduction of the Probability of Treatment Benefit (PTB) charts (Lindhiem, Kolko, & Cheng, 2012) to the trichotillomania literature. These charts were used to quantify the probability of being able to maintain gains according to predictors of maintenance. Finally, this study highlighted the need for a consensus on operational definitions of "treatment response" and "maintenance of response" due to the variety of results obtained when these definitions differed.
Studying the age of supergiant companions in the magnetized X-ray binaries

description: It has been proposed multiple times to use the neutron star (NS) in high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) as an orbiting X-ray probe embedded in the wind-fed of its supergiant (SG) companion in order to constrain the stellar line-driven wind from the SG. We demonstrate how to combine various observables of HMXBs from the X-ray accretion luminosity produced by the wind-fed NS, in order to estimate and constrain the age of the donors. This would help us to study the stellar evolution track for each donor model. Since the evolution of massive stars is essentially determined by mass loss, and that direct measures of mass-loss rates suffer from important uncertainties due to the unknown micro-structure of the wind.

description: We present a general proof of an ``inheritance principle'' satisfied by a weakly coupled SU(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter on a class of compact manifolds (like $S^3$). In the large $N$ limit, finite temperature correlation functions of gauge invariant single-trace operators in the low temperature phase are related to those at zero temperature by summing over images of each operator in the Euclidean time direction. As a consequence, various non-renormalization theorems of $\NN=4$ Super-Yang-Mills theory on $S^3$ survive at finite temperature despite the fact that the conformal and supersymmetries are both broken.

Sie wird durch stark unterschiedliche Deckschichtenmächtigkeiten vorgetäuscht. Die abgedeckte Schotteroberfläche der UMT ist mit ausgeglichenem Längs- und Quergefälle über die ganze Breite dieser Talstufe von Bonn bis Stommeln (südlich Köln) zu verfolgen. Es liegen keine Hinweise auf eine noch tiefere Mittelterrasse (= KMT) vor. Der Profilaufbau des Schotterkörpers und die sedimentologische Entwicklung geben ebenfalls keine Anhaltspunkte für die bisher u. a. angenommene streckenweise Überlagerung der UMT durch Aufschüttungen der KMT. Die für die UMT als typisch geltende interglaziale Bodenbildung wurde in allen Profilen beobachtet. Diese Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die KMT im Südteil der Niederrheinischen Bucht nicht ausgebildet ist.

description: Research indicates that African American women have a more accepting view of larger body shapes than their Caucasian peers. Previous studies have focused on explicit measures such as questionnaires and figure ratings scales to test this conclusion. Implicit measures of attitudes are much less used, though they are superior in their accuracy of instant judgments or opinions that may be difficult for participants to articulate. The current study attempts to evaluate automatic attitudes about obese figures using an Implicit Association Test (IAT). Participants were grouped by demographic factors such as ethnicity, education and socio-economic status (SES). All women completed an IAT to measure their automatic thoughts about overweight figures in terms of attractiveness, healthiness and general positive and negative feelings. Obese, overweight and underweight figures were presented as a way to measure specific associations about those body types. The scores on these measures were compared using ethnicity as the primary demographic factor of interest. To investigate whether women evaluate figures differently depending on ethnicity, both participant groups evaluated Caucasian as well as African American figures. This project sought to contribute to our understanding of how differences in ethnicity, education level, and SES influence judgments about obesity.

El PSA hidrico tiene como objetivo incentivar la realization de buenas prâcticas agropecuarias para la conservation de los suelos y aguas, de modo que se mantenga la cantidad y calidad del agua dentro de los parâmetros requeridos. El objetivo de este proyecto fue elaborar una propuesta para la implementation de un PSAH en la Microcuenca del Arroyo Malo, perteneciente a la Cuenca del Rio Guanajuma, Jarabacoa. La estrategia de ejecuciôn para lograr los objetivos planteados fue la siguiente: 1) Talleres de socialization de la propuesta; 2) evaluation socioeconômica de los actores claves; 3) determination del caudal para obtener la cantidad neta promedio que aporta el arroyo, usando la ecuaciôn bâsica de balance de agua, Es=P-ET-?H (NRCS, 2009); 4) usos de la tierra y sistemas de production en la microcuenca de Arroyo Malo; 5) valoraciôn del servicio ambiental hidrico de la micro cuenca Arroyo Malo. Se utilizô la ecuaciôn del Barsev (2002); 6) determination de la demanda de agua en las comunidades beneficiarias del acueducto; 7) evaluation de la participation de los proveedores en un proyecto de pago por servicio ambiental hidrico; 8) determination de la disposition de pago PSAH de los usuarios. Podemos concluir que esta propuesta constituye un instrumento fundamental para llevar a la prâctica el desarrollo de un proyecto para el pago del servicio ambiental hidrico en la micro cuenca del Arroyo Malo.

description: Moving contact lines of more than two phases dictate a large number of interfacial phenomena. Despite its significance to fundamental and applied processes, the contact lines at a junction of four-phases (two immiscible liquids, solid and gas) have been addressed only in a few investigations. Here, we report an intriguing phenomenon that follows after the four phases of oil, water, solid and gas make contact through the coalescence of two different three-phase contact lines. We combine experimental study and theoretical analysis to reveal and rationalize the dynamics exhibited upon the coalescence between the contact line of a micron-sized oil droplet and the receding contact line of a millimetre-sized water drop that covers the oil droplet on the substrate. We find that after the coalescence a four-phase contact line is formed for a brief period. However, this quadruple contact line is not stable, leading to a `droplet splitting' effect and eventual expulsion of the oil droplet from the water drop. We then show that the interfacial tension between the different phases and the viscosity of oil droplet dictate the splitting dynamics. More viscous oils display higher resistance to the extreme deformations of the droplet induced by the instability of the quadruple contact line and no droplet expulsion is observed for such cases.

FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AS RESISTANCE: MOCASE'S DEFENSE OF TERRITORY AND INDIGENOUS CAMPESINO KNOWLEDGE IN ARGENTINA

Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: Over the past six years, the convergence of the food, climate, energy, and financial crises have contributed to a new direction of global land seizures, commonly known as land grabs. The large-scale forms of current land grabs set unprecedented records in terms of their pace and scale. Extrapolating from a broad analysis of the drivers, the actors, and the land use changes of the current "land rush," the first half of the paper draws from current literature to provide a background of land grabbing in Latin America. Financial investors, agribusiness firms, foreign governments, and national elites are among the numerous actors that have exploited precarious land tenure conditions finding justification in the current global food-crisis-centric narrative. The second half of the paper further interrogates land grabs in Argentina, particularly examining soybean production in the province of Santiago del Estero. Through interviews with the agrarian social movement Movimiento Campesino de Santiago del Estero (MOCASE) in Argentina, the research aimed to understand how land grabs affect local communities and the strategies of resistance used by MOCASE. The resulting study found a discourse of resistance couched within the concept of food sovereignty. To engage farmers in the concept, the movement organized and mobilized communities to defend their territories and reclaim an indigenous collective identity. The movement works discursively and in action, by leveraging a counter-hegemonic discourse while simultaneously building an alternative agricultural model. The paper concludes with broader implications of food sovereignty on government policy and society.

description: We present theoretical iron emission line strengths for physical conditions typical of Active Galactic Nuclei with Broad-Line Regions. The non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) models include a new and extensive treatment of radiative transfer in the FeIII ion, complementing the FeII emission line strengths predicted in our earlier works. We also briefly present preliminary results for the FeI emission from AGN using a reduced atom model. We can satisfactorily reproduce the empirical UV FeIII emission line template of Vestergaard & Wilkes (2001) for the prototypical narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy I Zw 1, both in terms of the general FeIII flux distribution and the relative strength of the FeIII and FeII emission. However, a number of detailed features are still not matched; the most prominent example is the strongest single FeIII feature observed in the I Zw 1 spectrum, UV47: it is predicted to be strong only in models suppressing Fe-H charge exchange reactions. We examine the role of variations in cloud turbulent velocity and iron abundance and carry out Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate the effect of uncertainties in atomic data on the computed spectra.

description: Bei Frost entstehen in feinkörnigen Böden dünne Eisblätter, durch die bleibende parallele Strukturen erzeugt werden. In Lössen findet man häufig eine fossile Blättrigkeit, die in gleicher Weise durch Frost entstanden ist. Nach rezenten Beobachtungen kann die Aufblätterung in einem einzigen Winter erfolgen. Man sollte daher keine weitgehenden paläoklimatischen Folgerungen aus derartigen Beobachtungen ableiten. Auch die sog. „Pflugsohle" der Landwirte (feinblätterige, verdichtete Zone unter dem vom Pflug bearbeiteten Boden) ist als Frostphänomen zu deuten. Sie hat mit der mechanischen Bearbeitung des Ackerbodens nichts zu tun.

description: Material structures containing tetrahedral FeAs bonds, depending on their density and geometrical distribution, can host several competing quantum ground states ranging from superconductivity to ferromagnetism. Here we examine structures of quasi two-dimensional (2D) layers of tetrahedral Fe-As bonds embedded with a regular interval in a semiconductor InAs matrix, which resembles the crystal structure of Fe-based superconductors. Contrary to the case of Fe-based pnictides, these FeAs/InAs superlattices (SLs) exhibit ferromagnetism, whose Curie temperature (Tc) increases rapidly with decreasing the InAs interval thickness t_InAs (Tc ~ t_InAs^-3), and an extremely large magnetoresistance up to 500% that is tunable by a gate voltage. Our first principles calculations reveal the important role of disordered positions of Fe atoms in the establishment of ferromagnetism in these quasi-2D FeAs-based SLs. These unique features mark the FeAs/InAs SLs as promising structures for spintronic applications.

General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Collapsars: Rotating Black Hole Cases

description: We have performed 2.5-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of collapsars including a rotating black hole. This paper is an extension of our previous paper (Mizuno et al. 2004). The current calculation focuses on the effect of black hole rotation using general relativistic MHD with simplified microphysics. Initially, we assume that the core collapse is failed in this star. A few solar mass rotating black hole is inserted by hand into the calculation. We consider two cases, the co-rotating case and counter-rotating case with respect to the black hole rotation. Although the counter-rotating case may be unrealistic for collapsar, we perform as a maximally dragging case of magnetic field. The simulation results show the formation of a disk-like structure and the generation of a jet-like outflow near the central black hole. The jet-like outflow propagates outwardly with the twisted magnetic field and becomes collimated. We have found that the jets are generated and accelerated mainly by the magnetic field. The total jet velocity in the rotating black hole case is comparable to that of the non-rotating black hole case (Mizuno et al. 2004), 0.3c. When the rotation of the black hole is faster, the magnetic field is twisted strongly owing to the frame-dragging effect. The magnetic energy stored by the twisting magnetic field is converted to kinetic energy of the jet directly rather than propagating as an Alfven wave. Thus, as the rotation of the black hole becomes faster, the poloidal velocity of the jet becomes faster. In the rapidly rotating black hole case the jet-like outflow can be produced by the frame dragging effect only through the twisting of magnetic field even if there is no stellar rotation.

Implicit Associations and Drinking Motives in Social Anxiety
Creators: name: Mitchell, Frances
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Prior literature has used self-report measures of alcohol motivation, which are notably sensitive to response bias, in addition to either performance or social interaction threat stimuli, in order to identify circumstances under which socially anxious students are more vulnerable to problem-inducing alcohol consumption. The current study measured social anxiety, alcohol consumption, motives, and related problems, and employed an Implicit Association Task (IAT), which measures implicit cognitions through response times. IAT scores compared both performance and social interaction threat exposure to examine the impact of differing social situations on socially anxious students' implicit drinking cognitions. Results showed that the high social anxiety group responded significantly faster to pairings of images of beer and "approach" words when presented with a social interaction threat than with a performance threat. These results may demonstrate that the type of threatening situations socially anxious students are exposed to, as well as their implicit drinking cognitions, may play a key role in determining when and whether they are more likely to consume alcohol and develop problems as a result. Identifying these circumstances in the future may be useful in developing intervention strategies for socially anxious students with alcohol-related problems.

description: Under continuous laser irradiation, noble metal nanoparticles immersed in water can quickly heat up, leading to the nucleation of so-called plasmonic bubbles. In this work, we want to further understand the bubble nucleation and growth mechanism. In particular, we quantitatively study the effect of the amount of dissolved air on the bubble nucleation and growth dynamics, both for the initial giant bubble, which forms shortly after switching on the laser and is mainly composed of vapor, and for the final life phase of the bubble, during which it mainly contains air expelled from water. We found that the bubble nucleation temperature depends on the gas concentration: the higher the gas concentration, the lower the bubble nucleation temperature. Also, the long-term diffusiondominated bubble growth is governed by the gas concentration. The radius of the bubbles grows as R(t)~t^1/3 for airequilibrated and air-oversaturated water. In contrast, in partially degassed water, the growth is much slower since, even for the highest temperature we achieve, the water remains undersaturated.

description: We have studied the thermal conductivity $κ$ on single crystalline samples of the antiferromagnetic monolayer cuprates R$_2$CuO$_4$ with R = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Gd. For a heat current within the CuO$_2$ planes, i.e. for $κ_{ab}$ we find high-temperature anomalies around 250 K in all samples. In contrast, the thermal conductivity $κ_c$ perpendicular to the CuO$_2$ planes, which we measured for R = La, Pr, and Gd, shows a conventional temperature dependence as expected for a purely phononic thermal conductivity. This qualitative anisotropy of $κ_i$ and the anomalous temperature dependence of $κ_{ab}$ give evidence for a significant magnetic contribution $κ_{mag}$ to the heat transport within the CuO$_2$ planes. Our results suggest, that a large magnetic contribution to the heat current is a common feature of single-layer cuprates. We find that $κ_{mag}$ is hardly affected by structural instabilities, whereas already weak charge carrier doping causes a strong suppression of $κ_{mag}$.

Geometric analysis of differential-algebraic equations via linear control theory

description: We consider linear differential-algebraic equations DAEs and the Kronecker canonical form KCF of the corresponding matrix pencils. We also consider linear control systems and their Morse canonical form MCF. For a linear DAE, a procedure named explicitation is proposed, which attaches to any linear DAE a linear control system defined up to a coordinates change, a feedback transformation and an output injection. Then we compare subspaces associated to a DAE in a geometric way with those associated (also in a geometric way) to a control system, namely, we compare the Wong sequences of DAEs and invariant subspaces of control systems. We prove that the KCF of linear DAEs and the MCF of control systems have a perfect correspondence and that their invariants are related. In this way, we connect the geometric analysis of linear DAEs with the classical geometric linear control theory. Finally, we propose a concept named internal equivalence for DAEs and discuss its relation with internal regularity, i.e., the existence and uniqueness of solutions.

Progress towards ultra-cold ensembles of rubidium and lithium
Creators: name: Singh, Swati
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The work described in this thesis is related to various projects that I worked on towards the production of ultra-cold ensembles of ⁸⁵Rb, ⁸⁷Rb and fermionic ⁶Li. In the past few years, ultra-cold atomic gases have evolved into a mature field of research, driving various theoretical and experimental groups towards new possibilities. This thesis starts with an overview of the research direction of the field and the lab in particular, to use ultra-cold fermionic atoms as quantum simulators for several condensed matter problems. It discusses the experimental route to quantum degeneracy in a sample of ultra-cold atoms and techniques to get there. The rest of the thesis primarily discusses the first step to degeneracy- production of ultra-cold ensembles of rubidium and lithium. It starts with the theoretical concepts that enable laser cooling and trapping. The interaction between light and atoms and how it leads to a decrease in temperature of the ensemble is discussed. The limits of different cooling mechanism with relevance of the atoms of interest are described. The starting point for all laser cooling experiments is an atomic source, the details of the requirements and efficiency of different atomic sources is discussed, emphasizing our choice of sources for the two atoms. Other technical details such as the vacuum system and the control system for the experiment are briefly discussed. Preliminary data from our first ensembles of ultra-cold lithium and rubidium is shown. At the end, the planning and progress of the first experiments that we aim to achieve with these ultra-cold atoms namely looking for Feshbach resonances and studying the effect of DC electric fields on them, and studies with ultra-cold lithium atoms in optical lattices, is discussed.

description: Nursery experiments were conducted in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, to assess the growth of 'Kent' mango in nursery for transplant production as affected by selected bioregulators. A commercial extract of the brown alga Ascopyllum nodosum (Stimplex™), and a commercial formulation of amino acids (Macro-Sorb Radicular™) were applied to the soil every two weeks after grafting the mangos, at rates from 0 (check) to 2 ml/L, using 150 ml of aqueous solution per plant per application. Aside from bioregulators, the mango plants were managed following local recommendations. Check plants grew more slowly and reached the adequate transplanting stage later than bioregulator-treated plants. Increasing the bioregulator rate resulted in more accelerated growth in mango plants, and response to both bioregulators was comparable.
What does it matter? Examining the role of meaning in gratitude interventions

description: The present research sought to explain recent findings that mentally subtracting a past positive event increased one aspect of well-being - namely, positive affect - compared to simply reflecting on a past positive event and to an affectively neutral reflection (Koo et al., 2008). Based on evidence that both the emotion of gratitude and counterfactual reasoning create meaning, I hypothesized that imagining the ways in which a good thing might not have occurred would increase positive affect by increasing the meaningfulness of the event. Contrary to predictions, participants who only reflected on a past positive event, in addition to participants who also reflected on the absence of a past positive event, reported increased positive affect compared to participants who engaged in an affectively neutral task (i.e. reflected on what they did the previous day). The increase in positive affect among participants in the gratitude conditions was mediated by the meaningfulness of the events they described. The implications of these findings for understanding the emotion of gratitude, gratitude interventions, and the role of meaning in each are discussed.

description: We obtain global solutions of radiatively inefficiently accretion flows around black holes. Whether and where convection develops in a flow are self-consistently determined with the mixing-length theory. The solutions can be divided into three types according to the strength of normal viscosity. Type I solution corresponds to large viscosity parameter $α\ga 0.1$, which is purely advection-dominated and with no convection, and has been extensively studied in the literature. Type II solution is for moderate $α\sim 0.01$, which has a three-zone structure. The inner zone is advection-dominated, the middle zone is convection-dominated and ranges from a few tens to a few thousands of gravitational radii, and the outer zone is convectively stable and matches outward a Keplerian disc. The net energy flux throughout the flow is inward as in type I solution. Type III solution which is for small $α\la 0.001$ consists of two zones as Abramowicz et al. suggested previously: an inner advection-dominated zone and an outer convection-dominated zone, separated at a radius of a few tens of gravitational radii. This type of solution has an outward net energy flux. In both type II and III solutions the radial density profile is between the 1/2 law of self-similar convection-dominated accretion flow model and the 3/2 law of self-similar advection-dominated accretion flow model, and the efficiency of energy release is found to be extremely low. Our results are in good agreement with those of recent numerical simulations.

description: The coefficient of normal restitution (COR) in an oblique impact is theoretically studied. Using a two-dimensional lattice models for an elastic disk and an elastic wall, we investigate the dependency of COR on an incident angle and demonstrate that COR can exceed one and have a peak against an incident angle in our simulation. Finally, we explain these phenomena based upon the phenomenological theory of elasticity.
