description: We develop an unconditionally stable numerical method for solving the coupling between two fluids (frictional forces/heatings, ionization, and recombination), and investigate the dynamical condensation process of thermally unstable gas that is provided by the shock waves in a weakly ionized and magnetized interstellar medium by using two-dimensional two-fluid magnetohydrodynamical simulations. If we neglect the effect of magnetic field, it is known that condensation driven by thermal instability can generate high density clouds whose physical condition corresponds to molecular clouds (precursor of molecular clouds). In this paper, we study the effect of magnetic field on the evolution of supersonic converging HI flows and focus on the case in which the orientation of magnetic field to converging flows is orthogonal. We show that the magnetic pressure gradient parallel to the flows prevents the formation of high density and high column density clouds, but instead generates fragmented, filamentary HI clouds. With this restricted geometry, magnetic field drastically diminishes the opportunity of fast molecular cloud formation directly from the warm neutral medium, in contrast to the case without magnetic field.

description: This update of the highway cost allocation study is the eighth in a recent series begun in the early 1980's by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Kentucky Transportation Center. The primary objectives were to determine the level of revenue contribution and cost responsibility for each class of highway user. The base year of the study is FY 97; the most recent time period for which revenue and cost data were available. Highway user or travel activity for calender year 1996 was the most recent available. A basic premise of the study was that only state maintained highways were of interest in recouping the costs expended to construct and maintain the system. In 1996, this system comprised 27,350 miles of the 73,170 miles of roads and streets in Kentucky, while accommodation 84 percent of all travel.  There were 17 highway user classes with which revenue contribution and cost responsibility were associated. Primary sources of revenue included fuel taxes, registration fees, usage taxes, tolls, and other motor carrier and federal taxes and fees. Primary expenditure categories included construction (subdivided into 6 categories), maintenance and traffic, administration, and enforcement. Construction was subdivided into planning and design; right of way; utility relocation; grade, drain and surfacing; resurfacing; bridges; and miscellaneous.  Results from the analysis indicate that cost responsibility is borne most heavily by cars and motorcycles with 45.74 percent; followed by heavy trucks with gross weights of 60,000 pounds or more at 26.22 percent. Pickups and other vehicles registered in the 6,000 pound category were responsible for 20.72 percent of the cost. The ratio of percentage revenue attributed to percentage cost allocated was also determined in the study. A ratio of one indicates that the revenue and cost percentages are in balance for a particular vehicle type. Cars (0.94), buses (0. 78) and heavy trucks (0.91) contribute less revenue than their cost responsibility dictates.

description: The objective of this research evaluation was to evaluate the reference markers which were installed on sections of interstates and freeways in the Cincinnati-northern Kentucky area, the Lexington-Fayette Urban County area, the Louisville-southern Indiana area, and the Indianapolis area. The evaluation was conducted to determine if the use of reference markers at spacings of 0.1 or 0.2-mile intervals could improve the effectiveness of the emergency response and incident management processes. Also evaluated were color of the markers and the placement location within the right-of-way. Both "'white on blue" and ''white on green" markers were installed on various projects, with some installed on the median barrier wall and some on grass medians or shoulders. Included were condition surveys of the marker installations and opinion surveys of those involved in the incident or emergency management process.  Nearly unanimous endorsement of the reference markers was received from interviews and surveys of highway agency personnel and participants in the emergency management process.  Recommendations were made for spacing of the markers at 0.2-mile intervals, with exceptions in curved sections to allow for placement of the markers at 0.1-mile intervals. Based on what appears to slightly increased conspicuity of the ''white on blue" marker as compared to the ''white on green" marker, it was recommended that a standardized reference marker be developed with white letters on blue background. Because of reduced exposure to mowing operations and errant vehicles, it was recommended that reference markers be placed on median barrier walls where practical.

description: Deep surveys conducted during the past decades have shown that galaxies in the distant universe are generally of more irregular shapes, and are disky in appearance and in their star formation rate, compared to galaxies in similar environments in the nearby universe. Given that the merger rate between z=2 and the local universe is far from adequate to account for this observed morphological transformation rate, an internal mechanism for the morphological transformation of galaxies is to be sought, whose operation can be further aided by environmental factors. The secular evolution mechanism, especially with the discovery of a collisionless dissipation mechanism for stars within the secular evolution paradigm, has provided just such a framework for understanding the morphological evolution of galaxies across the Hubble time. In this paper we will summarize the past theoretical results on the dynamical mechanisms for secular evolution, and highlight new results in the analysis of the observational data, which confirmed that density waves in physical galaxies possess the kind of characteristics which could produce the observed rates of morphological transformation for both cluster and field galaxies.

The lived experience of being a daughter of a lesbian-headed family
Creators: name: Tutte, Susan K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study drew on phenomenological constructs to explore the lived experiences of daughters raised in lesbian-headed families. Purposeful sampling methods were employed to attain a sample of five women. During in-depth, individual, audio-taped interviews the participants shared their lived experiences as daughters with lesbian mothers. The interviews were then transcribed and analyzed using Colaizzi's (1978) method of phenomenological analysis. Results of the analysis yielded six common themes: 1) a sense of being different, 2) a sense of being torn, 3) a reclamation of identity, 4) a resistance to socially prescribed femininity, 5) a sense of closeness with their mother, and 6) an enhanced sense of social justice. Validation interviews were conducted to ensure the themes accurately reflected the womens' lived experience. The five daughters in this study appear to have constructed stable lives and to have maintained good relationships with friends, partners, and family. The results also indicate that age related developmental stages and the environment may have influenced the participants' experiences. All participants recalled experiencing feelings of being different from others, feelings of shame or embarrassment about their family, and feelings of pride in themselves and their family form. These findings indicate there may be a commonality between the experiences of these women and the experiences of other minority group members as outlined in minority identity development models such as the Minority Identity Development Model of Atkinson, Morten, and Sue (1993).

description: Design method validation is an important research activity in method development. But the design method's applicability is often left out in validation, although it is a necessary step and it enables further validation steps. Currently, there is a lack of support for the assessment of design method applicability. We present an approach to provide support for iterative studies on three aspects of design method applicability. We evaluate the approach in a single case study. In the study, we investigate the applicability of a method for model building in analysis, in three iterative steps of the approach. Application of the approach produced valuable insights on the method applicability. The results show how aspects of applicability can be assessed using the presented approach. Therefore, the approach can contribute to the standardisation of design method validation, especially for early stages of validation, which is currently discussed in the community.

description: Measuring the quality of digital videos viewed by human observers has become a common practice in numerous multimedia applications, such as adaptive video streaming, quality monitoring, and other digital TV applications. Here we explore a significant, yet relatively unexplored problem: measuring perceptual quality on videos arising from both luma and chroma distortions from compression. Toward investigating this problem, it is important to understand the kinds of chroma distortions that arise, how they relate to luma compression distortions, and how they can affect perceived quality. We designed and carried out a subjective experiment to measure subjective video quality on both luma and chroma distortions, introduced both in isolation as well as together. Specifically, the new subjective dataset comprises a total of $210$ videos afflicted by distortions caused by varying levels of luma quantization commingled with different amounts of chroma quantization. The subjective scores were evaluated by $34$ subjects in a controlled environmental setting. Using the newly collected subjective data, we were able to demonstrate important shortcomings of existing video quality models, especially in regards to chroma distortions. Further, we designed an objective video quality model which builds on existing video quality algorithms, by considering the fidelity of chroma channels in a principled way. We also found that this quality analysis implies that there is room for reducing bitrate consumption in modern video codecs by creatively increasing the compression factor on chroma channels. We believe that this work will both encourage further research in this direction, as well as advance progress on the ultimate goal of jointly optimizing luma and chroma compression in modern video encoders.

description: Small networks of chaotic units which are coupled by their time-delayed variables, are investigated. In spite of the time delay, the units can synchronize isochronally, i.e. without time shift. Moreover, networks can not only synchronize completely, but can also split into different synchronized sublattices. These synchronization patterns are stable attractors of the network dynamics. Different networks with their associated behaviors and synchronization patterns are presented. In particular, we investigate sublattice synchronization, symmetry breaking, spreading chaotic motifs, synchronization by restoring symmetry and cooperative pairwise synchronization of a bipartite tree.

description: In 1963, Moll and Tarui suggested that the field-effect conductance of a semiconductor could be controlled by the remanent polarization of a ferroelectric (FE) material to create a ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FE-FET). However, subsequent efforts to produce a practical, compact FE-FET have been plagued by low retention and incompatibility with Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process integration. These difficulties led to the development of trapped-charge based memory devices (also called floating gate or flash memory), and these are now the mainstream non-volatile memory (NVM) technology. Over the past two decades, advances in oxide FE materials have rejuvenated the field of ferroelectrics and made FE random access memories (FE-RAM) a commercial reality. Despite these advances, commercial FE-RAM based on lead zirconium titanate (PZT) has stalled at the 130 nm due to process challenges.The recent discovery of scandium doped aluminum nitride (AlScN) as a CMOS compatible ferroelectric presents new opportunities for direct memory integration with logic transistors due to the low temperature of AlScN deposition (approx. 350 C). This temperature is compatible with CMOS back end of line processes. Here, we present a FE-FET device composed of an AlScN FE dielectric layer integrated with a channel layer of a van der Waals two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor, MoS2. Our devices show an ON/OFF ratio ~ 10^6, concurrent with a normalized memory window of 0.3 V/nm. The devices also demonstrate stable, two-state memory retention for up to 10^4 seconds. Our simulations and experimental results suggest that the combination of AlScN and 2D semiconductors is nearly ideal for low power FE-FET memory. These results demonstrate a new approach in embedded memory and in-memory computing, and could even lead to effective neuromorphic computing architectures.

We test other Bell-type inequalities. Some are violated by a constant amount for any N.

description: Reliable fundamental parameters of open clusters such as distance, age and extinction are key to our understanding of Galactic structure and stellar evolution. In this work we use {\it Gaia} DR2 to investigate 45 open clusters listed in the \emph{New catalogue of optically visible open clusters and candidates} (DAML) but with no previous astrometric membership estimation based on {\it Gaia} DR2. In the process of selecting targets for this study we found that some clusters reported as new discoveries in recent papers based on {\it Gaia} DR2 were already known clusters listed in DAML. Cluster memberships were determined using a maximum likelihood method applied to {\it Gaia} DR2 astrometry. This has allowed us to estimate mean proper motions and mean parallaxes for all investigated clusters. Mean radial velocities were also determined for 12 clusters, 7 of which had no previous published values. We have improved our isochrone fitting code to account for interstellar extinction using an updated extinction polynomial for the {\it Gaia} DR2 photometric band-passes and the Galactic abundance gradient as a prior for metallicity. The updated procedure was validated with a sample of clusters with high quality $[Fe/H]$ determinations. We then did a critical review of the literature and verified that our cluster parameter determinations represent a substantial improvement over previous values.

description: A simple, sensitive method for determining weak acid dissociable (WAD) cyanides is described. The assay is based on automated gas diffusion of the analyte using sequential injection analysis coupled to amperometric detection on a silver electrode. The effects of varying several parameters affecting the analytical procedure (including the flow rates of the donor and acceptor streams, the concentrations of the reagents and the sample volumes) were studied. The validity and quality of the method were also assessed, by examining its linearity, limits of detection and quantitation, precision, selectivity to potentially interfering substances. Its sensitivity can be enhanced by applying a simple preconcentration step, the limits of detection were found to be 0.05 – 0.12 μg L-1. Application of the proposed assay to the analysis of tap, mineral and table water samples spiked at concentrations ranging from 1 to 10 μg L-1 CN-, yielded satisfactory recoveries (88 – 112 %).

description: The objectives of this study were to investigate and analyze traffic accidents involving trucks and to study the relationship between heavy loads and truck braking efficiency. Field tests were made to determine the effect of increased loads on the ability of a truck to brake to a stop and determine if the trucks could meet the requirements of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The test combination truck with a gross weight of up to 151,180 was able to meet both braking distance and maximum G requirements. The test single-unit truck failed to meet requirements only at the maximum weight tested of 120,680 pounds.  Accident data were analyzed for the three-year period of 1994 through 1996. Characteristics of truck accidents were compared to all accidents. A detailed analysis was conducted for all fatal accidents involving a truck. Average and critical numbers and rates of truck accidents were calculated and one-mile sections having a critical rate were located with an investigation conducted at a sample of these sections.

description: The initiation of the Indian summer monsoon circulation during late May / early June arises through large-scale land-sea thermal contrast and setting up of negative pressure gradient between the Monsoon Trough over the Indo-Gangetic plains and the Mascarene High over the subtropical Indian Ocean. The meridional pressure gradient together with the Earth's rotation (Coriolis force) creates the summer monsoon cross-equatorial flow, while feedbacks between moisture-laden winds and latent heat release from precipitating systems maintain the monsoon circulation during the June-September (JJAS) rainy season (Krishnamurti and Surgi, 1987). This simplified view of the Indian monsoon is a useful starting point to draw insights into the variability of the large-scale monsoon circulation.

description: The objective of this study was to document the effectiveness of the application of advanced technologies for the real-time control and management of traffic in the work zone at the I 75 Clays Ferry Bridge reconstruction project. A description is given for each of the condition-responsive traffic control devices used on the project. A summary of the usage of each system is given along with a rating of its performance and effectiveness. The evaluation includes an analysis of accident data in the vicinity of the Clays Ferry Bridge for the period of January 1990 through June 1997. The possibility of future use of the various technologies was discussed.  Use of a video camera system was found to be an effective method to monitor activities at the construction site. Several improvements to the standard method of using a variable message sign were found to make them more effective and responsive to existing conditions. Included were the following: 1) placing a message on the sign only when warranted by a specific incident, 2) controlling the signs remotely and typically using pre-programmed messages, and 3) using multiple signs with the first sign placed several miles prior to the work activity. Motorists use of highway advisory radio (HAR) was very limited, and the AM stations generally had a poor reception quality. The future use of HAR at construction sites was determined to have limited applications unless improvements could be made in reception and usage. It was determined that inadequate maintenance of the HAR systems may have contributed to the reduced quality of the signal and resulting usage. Use of a video-based vehicle detection system to provide alarms was not successful although its failure may be related to the type of equipment used. While the use of a weather detection system has the ability to provide specific weather and pavement data, it was a problem to properly operate and maintain at an active work site.  There was an increase in the annual total number of traffic accidents during construction compared to before construction but the annual number of injury and fatal accidents did not change. A substantial part of the increase in total accidents was the result of the large increase in rear end collisions.

Several limiting cases of the exact formula for the Casimir energy corresponding to this configuration are studied both analytically and numerically. These include concentric cylinders, cylinder-plane, and eccentric cylinders, for small and large separations between the surfaces. For small separations we recover the proximity approximation, while for large separations we find a weak logarithmic decay of the Casimir interaction energy, typical of cylindrical geometries.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσης έρευνας ήταν, να εξετάσει αν και κατά πόσο το κινητικό τεστ Movement Assessment Battery for Children – 2 (Henderson, Sugden & Barnett, 2007), για την ανίχνευση παιδιών με κινητικές δυσκολίες είναι αξιόπιστο. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν 33 παιδιά ( 16 αγόρια και 17 κορίτσια) Γ΄ Γυμνασίου (14-15 ετών). Το τεστ που χρησιμοποιήθηκε στην παρούσα έρευνα για την αξιολόγηση των παιδιών είναι το κινητικό τεστ Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2. Κάθε παιδί αξιολογήθηκε δύο φορές κάτω από τις ίδιες συνθήκες. Οι δύο μετρήσεις είχαν διάστημα μεταξύ τους μια εβδομάδα. Ο συντελεστής συσχέτισης ICC του συνολικού σκορ ήταν 0,759, αποτέλεσμα που χαρακτηρίζει το τεστ ως αξιόπιστο. Όσον αφορά τη μεταβλητότητα των δύο μετρήσεων το δείγμα δεν παρουσίασε σημαντικές μεταβολές. Επίσης, οι τιμές των t-test για όλες τις ασκήσεις έδειξαν ότι υπάρχουν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των δύο μετρήσεων μόνο στις δύο ασκήσεις «αναστροφή καρφιών» και «υποδοχή αντικειμένου με το ένα χέρι». Συμπερασματικά, το Movement ABC-2 τεστ είναι ένα αξιόπιστο εργαλείο ανίχνευσης παιδιών με κινητική αδεξιότητα, ηλικίας από 3-16 ετών και σύμφωνα με την παρούσα έρευνα αυτό έχει επιβεβαιωθεί για την τρίτη ηλικιακή κατηγορία.
description: The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of the motor test Movement Assessment Battery for Children - 2(Henderson, Sugden & Barnett, 2007). The sample was 33 children (16 boys and 17 girls) of third grade in High school (14-15 years). Each child was evaluated two times under the same conditions. The interval between two measurements was one week. T-test results showed statistical semantic difference between two measurements for the general movement score. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for the total score was 0,759. The sample did not perform any significant differences to the variability of the two measurements. Also the values of t-test for all tasks showed, that exist statistically important differences between first and second measurement in two tasks "turning pegs" and "catching with one hand". Movement ABC-2 test seems to be a reliable tool for the detection of children with kinetic difficulties, aged from 3-16 years and according to the present study this has been confirmed for the third age-band.

description: I discuss the status of the Soft X-ray Transient model. First, I discuss and then compare with observations the assumption that the geometrically thin disc evaporates into an ADAF. Second, I address the problems created by the recent determinations of the distance to SS Cyg, according to which the Disc Instability Model does not apply to this famous dwarf-nova, thus casting doubt on the application of this model to any system at all.

description: We consider cosmological consequences of a heavy axino, decaying to the neutralino in R-parity conserving models. The importance and influence of the axino decay on the resultant abundance of neutralino dark matter depends on the lifetime and the energy density of axino. For a high reheating temperature after inflation, copiously produced axinos dominate the energy density of the universe and its decay produces a large amount of entropy. As a bonus, we obtain that the upper bound on the reheating temperature after inflation via gravitino decay can be moderated, because the entropy production by the axino decay more or less dilutes the gravitinos.

description: Παραδοσιακά, όλα τα δάση δρυός βόσκονται από αγροτικά ζώα. Η απόκτηση γνώσεων και πληροφοριών σχετικά με την επίδραση της βόσκησης αγροτικών και θηραματικών ζώων στην παραγωγικότητα, τη δομή και την ποικιλότητα της βλάστησης του υπορόφου δρυοδασών, καθώς επίσης και οι επιπτώσεις της στην αναγέννηση της δρυός είναι ο σκοπός της έρευνας αυτής. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε στο Πανεπιστημιακό Δάσος Ταξιάρχη – Βραστάμων, του Νομού Χαλκιδικής στο όρους Χολομώντα. Τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2006 επιλέχθηκαν 10 ζεύγη επιφανειών στον υπόροφο του δάσους δρυός έκτασης 150 m2 έκαστη, οι οποίες έγινε προσπάθεια να είναι παρόμοιες ως προς τη βλάστηση. Με τυχαία επιλογή σε κάθε ζεύγος επιφανειών η μια περιφράχθηκε, ώστε να προστατευθεί από τη βόσκηση, ενώ η άλλη παρέμεινε ελεύθερη στη βόσκηση. Σε κάθε μια από τις 20 συνολικά επιφάνειες (προστατευμένες και μη) εγκαταστάθηκαν τέσσερις μόνιμες τομές μήκους 10m έκαστη, στις οποίες έγιναν οι μετρήσεις. Από τις δέκα επιφάνειες οι οποίες βόσκονται, οι πέντε βόσκονται κυρίως από αιγοπρόβατα και οι άλλες πέντε κυρίως από αγριόχοιρους.
description: Traditionally, oak forests were being grazed by domestic and game animals, which utilize the understory vegetation, the leaves and the acorns. The use of forests as pastures has many benefits for animal production and as a result contributes to the national economy. The objective of the present research is the study of the effects of domestic and game animals on the productivity, structure and plant diversity of the understory of oak forest (Quercus frainettto), and also the effects of grazing in the regeneration of the oak. The research was conducted in mount Cholomontas, Chalkidiki prefecture, North Greece in Quercus frainetto open forest. Ten areas of 150 m2 in were fenced in autumn 2006, in order to be protected from grazing. A similar size area was assigned next to the fenced plot. Four permanent transects were established in every grazed and protected plot. Half of the plots were grazed mainly from sheep and goats and the other five from wild boar (Sus scrofa).

description: Kentucky Highway Investigative Task No. 24, "Recycled Concrete Pavement", (SSP-059-7965) involved the use of Recycled/Crushed Portland Cement Concrete (RPCC) for use as Crushed Stone Base (CSB) on the Thomas More Parkway in Kenton County, Kentucky. The Parkway, which connects Dudley Road to South Loop Road in front of the Thomas More College campus, was the first roadway to be built in Kentucky using recycled Portland Cement Concrete for crushed stone base. The Kentucky Transportation Center was requested to evaluate the material's performance versus the normal limestone CSB and make appropriate recommendations. Both field and laboratory testing were required, along with annual visual surveys. In addition to the Thomas More Parkway, a portion of lnterstate 275 was studied, where both RPCC and virgin limestone were used for DGA in adjacent sections. The adjacent sections were used for testing and evaluation of the RPCC CSB to compare its performance with regular limestone under similar conditions. In addition, RPCC samples were also collected from Interstate 75 and analyzed.  At this time, it appears that the RPCC CSB is performing equally to the limestone DGA under field conditions. Considerable breakdown of the recycled aggregate was observed under laboratory freeze-thaw conditions, but laboratory gradation tests show that the aggregate on the project is still within the specifications for both DGA and CSB. Due to this laboratory breakdown of the aggregate, it is recommended that FWD and gradation tests, and visual surveys be performed on the Thomas More Parkway and I-275 periodically. However, since field performance currently appears to be the same for DGA and RPCC, it is recommended that RPCC could continue to be used as a substitute for DGA, unless future distress data indicate otherwise.

description: A relatively new approach for designing or retrofitting highway bridges in seismic zones involves isolating the superstructure from the substructure. Through experimental and analytical investigations, this study evaluates the effectiveness of isolating one particular bridge: a highly skewed, prestressed concrete, slab-on-girder bridge. Dynamic testing of the bridge was performed using the pullback, quick-release method. A three dimensional finite element model of the bridge was created. It was refined, or calibrated, to match experimentally determined natural frequencies and mode shapes. Time-history analyzes, using site-specific acceleration records, were conducted for the seismically isolated bridge model and an identical, non-isolated bridge model.  For the bridge under consideration, seismic isolation was found to appreciably reduce forces that the bridge substructure and foundation must resist. Seismic design forces for pier columns were reduced between 43% and 86%. The results of this study clearly show that seismic isolation is an effective means of reducing earthquake forces on bridges.
