Consumers, the legal system and product liability reform: A comparative perspective between Japan and the United States
Creators: name: Hamada, Koichi

Year: 1996

Commerce

description: A new Product Liability (PL) Act in Japan became effective in July, 1995. In the United States, congress passed, subject to the endorsement of the president, the legislation that limits the ceiling of compensations and punitive damages in PL cases. Thus, there seems to be a converging tendency between the Japanese system, which has relative emphasis on industrial interests and encouraged off-court settlements, and the U.S. system, which has relatively emphasized consumers' interest and encouraged litigation. A large difference exists between the United States and Japan, particularly in the number of suits about product liability. For example, within a half year after the enforcement of the new PL Act, only a single case was brought to court in Japan. This paper explains the legal content, the social background and the legislation process of the new PL Act in Japan. Using economic analysis, it clarifies the question of what the consequences are with the difference in legal systems on resource allocation in the two countries.

description: A notion of a particular integrability is introduced when two operators commute on a subspace of the space where they act. Particular integrals for one-dimensional (quasi)-exactly-solvable Schroedinger operators and Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonians for all roots are found. In the classical case some special trajectories for which the corresponding particular constants of motion appear are indicated.

Exporting Deflation? Chinese Exports and Japanese Prices
Creators: name: Broda, Christian
name: Weinstein, David E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Commerce

description: Between 1992 and 2002, the Japanese Import Price Index registered a decline of almost 9 percent and Japan entered a period of deflation. We show that much of the correlation between import prices and domestic prices was due to formula biases. Had the IPI been computed using a pure Laspeyres index like the CPI, the IPI would have hardly moved at all. A Laspeyres version of the IPI would have risen 1 percentage point per year faster than the official index. Second we show that Chinese prices did not behave differently from the prices of other importers. Although Chinese prices are substantially lower than the prices of other exporters, they do not exhibit a differential trend. However, we estimate that the typical price per unit quality of a Chinese exporter fell by half between 1992 and 2005. Thus the explosive growth in Chinese exports is attributable to growth in the quality of Chinese exports and the increase in new products being exported by China.

description: Structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Fe2P-based Mn-Fe-P-Si compounds were investigated. The study reveals a large magneto-elastic coupling that starts to develop in the paramagnetic state and grows when the ferromagnetic transition temperature is approached. Based on the behavior of the magneto-elastic coupling, we show the thermal evolution of the magnetic moments. On cooling, magnetic moments on the tetrahedral site form and gradually increase in the paramagnetic state. At the magnetic ordering temperature the moments attain a much larger value in a discontinuous step. We also find that the hysteresis and magnetic entropy change are correlated with discontinuous changes in the lattice parameters at the transition temperature. Small hysteresis can be obtained while maintaining giant magnetocaloric effect.

Self-monitoring Monitors

Subjects: Computer science

description: Many different monitoring systems have been created to identify system state conditions to detect or prevent a myriad of deliberate attacks, or arbitrary faults inherent in any complex system. Monitoring systems are also vulnerable to attack. A stealthy attacker can simply turn off or disable these monitoring systems without being detected; he would thus be able to perpetrate the very attacks that these systems were designed to stop. For example, many examples of virus attacks against antivirus scanners have appeared in the wild. In this paper, we present a novel technique to "monitor the monitors" in such a way that (a) unauthorized shutdowns of critical monitors are detected with high probability, (b) authorized shutdowns raise no alarm, and (c) the proper shutdown sequence for authorized shutdowns cannot be inferred from reading memory. The techniques proposed to prevent unauthorized shut down (turning off) of monitoring systems was inspired by the duality of safety technology devised to prevent unauthorized discharge (turning on) of nuclear weapons.
Do Parents Help More Their Less Well-off Children? Evidence from a Sample of Migrants to France

Subjects: subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: Through an investigation of parental motives, this paper examines how parents decide on the allocation of their resources within the family when there are several offspring. From a theoretical viewpoint, inter vivos transfers may be explained either by altruism or by an exchange motive. Though unequal sharing is expected under both hypotheses, under altruism parents should direct their assistance to less well off children. Analogously, under an exchange motive we expect support to be channeled to children who live nearby their parents. We assess the relevance of the two transfer motives using the PRI survey, conducted in 2003, on a sample of immigrants living in France. Unequal sharing is frequently observed, and children are more likely to receive financial transfers when they are in poor circumstance, but not necessarily when living in proximity to parents. This is the case even after controlling for unobserved heterogeneity with fixed effects models. We also emphasize the role of cultural factors, especially religion, as determinants of the parental allocation among children.
Gender as a tool of the right : women and the Tea Party movement
Creators: name: Tolleson, Shannon Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: With the rise of the Tea Party movement, conservative women are yet again in the spotlight in America. Prominent, influential, and strong-willed women have become the public face of the Tea Party nationwide, and a substantial portion of the movement’s grassroots support is among women. This thesis argues that female Tea Party elites have constructed a gendered narrative in order to mobilize their socially conservative women into supporting their primarily economic movement by infusing the otherwise autonomous and atomized individual at the center of their economic conservatism with the gendered identities of “family,” “mother,” and “woman,” effectively narrowing the gap between social and economic conservatism. The results of logit regression analyses using survey data offer limited support for the effectiveness of this strategy in increasing grassroots support. Differences in men’s and women’s support for the Tea Party based on family concerns and gender awareness do not emerge; but among those who have children, women – and especially socially conservative women – are more likely to support the Tea Party than their male counterparts. Ultimately, I suggest that the higher level of involvement of socially conservative women in an economically conservative movement raises the possibility of a broader and more inclusive women’s agenda in the U.S.
Radiation-driven winds of hot luminous stars. XVI. Expanding atmospheres of massive and very massive stars and the evolution of dense stellar clusters

description: Context: Starbursts, and particularly their high-mass stars, play an essential role in the evolution of galaxies. The winds of massive stars not only significantly influence their surroundings, but the mass loss also profoundly affects the evolution of the stars themselves. In addition to the evolution of each star, the evolution of the dense cores of massive starburst clusters is affected by N-body interactions, and the formation of very massive stars via mergers may be decisive for the evolution of the cluster. Aims: To introduce an advanced diagnostic method of O-type stellar atmospheres with winds, including an assessment of the accuracy of the determinations of abundances, stellar and wind parameters. Methods: We combine consistent models of expanding atmospheres with detailed stellar evolutionary calculations of massive and very massive single stars with regard to the evolution of dense stellar clusters. Accurate predictions of the mass loss rates of very massive stars requires a highly consistent treatment of the statistical equilibrium and the hydrodynamic and radiative processes in the expanding atmospheres. Results: We present computed mass loss rates, terminal wind velocities, and spectral energy distributions of massive and very massive stars of different metallicities, calculated from atmospheric models with an improved level of consistency. Conclusions: Stellar evolutionary calculations using our computed mass loss rates show that low-metallicity very massive stars lose only a very small amount of their mass, making it unlikely that very massive population III stars cause a significant helium enrichment of the interstellar medium. Solar-metallicity stars have higher mass-loss rates, but these are not so high to exclude very massive stars formed by mergers in dense clusters from ending their life massive enough to form intermediate-mass black holes.

A clash of capitalisms: Foreign shareholders and corporate restructuring in 1990s Japan
Creators: name: Ahmadjian, Christina L.

Year: 2002
Subjects: Economics
Commerce

description: This paper examines the conflict between stakeholder- and market-based business systems that resulted from an increase in foreign portfolio investment in the Japanese economy in the 1990's. As foreign institutions, which were more interested in investment returns than in long-term relationships, replaced domestic shareholders, one of the fundamental pillars of Japan's stakeholder capitalism began to crack, and Japanese firms began to adopt practices more characteristic of Anglo-American market economies. In an analysis of 1626 listed Japanese firms between 1990 and 1997, we found that foreign shareholders increased a firm's propensity to downsize and divest assets. The effect of foreign shareholders was strongest among firms less integrated into the existing Japanese system-those with lower levels of shareholding by domestic corporations and financial institutions. There is little evidence that foreigners exerted pressure directly through shareholder activism. Rather, as firms' resource dependencies shifted from domestic to foreign capital, their behavior shifted accordingly.

description: This paper examines Japan's R&D performance since the early 1980s using several complementary modes of analysis. First, we examine evidence from aggregate economic statistics concerning changes in Japanese corporate R&D. Second, we analyze comprehensive data on R&D inputs and outputs for a panel of nearly 200 Japanese firms. Microeconometric analysis of this data set allows us to examine where any downturn in R&D activity is concentrated, what Japanese firms are themselves doing to rectify the downturn in performance, and what effects these steps have had to date. Third, we relate the results of interviews with corporate R&D managers and informed industry observers concerning their perceptions of changes in Japanese innovative capacity and the reasons for these changes. We find evidence, at the micro level and the aggregate level, of a slowdown in the growth rate of Japanese research productivity in the 1990s.

description: Global poverty is higher on the public agenda than ever before. While it has always been a central concern of development economists and professionals, it has never before been studied so intensively, and has never been as prominent in the public consciousness as it has become over the last few years. This new focus is due in part to the commitment of the international community to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)—the first of which is to halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty. It is due also to substantial progress in the collection and analysis of data. While we can now say much more about global poverty than in the past, considerable controversy has developed about how to analyze and interpret the data, and what they tell us about the magnitude and rate of change of global poverty.

description: Investment of IT (Information Technology) came to be positively advanced in various industries after 1980. However, in the late 1980s, as for the improvement in the productivity by the investment of information systems, the economist Robert Solow developed the "paradox of productivity theory" which claims that the introduction of information systems does not lead to higher productivity. On the other hand, as a result of good strategy on the development of IT industries, the U.S. economy after 1991 was in good condition over a span of 10 years, until 2001. The Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Alan Greenspan came to suggest "the New Economy theory", which is caused by the investment of IT. It posed a problem in the1980s about investment of IT in the industries and the companies; it is not clear whether or not it made a good impact on corporate management. In this paper, we have measured the economical effects of IT investment by industries in Japan. Consequently, in Japan, the effect of IT investment in most industries will be low or minus in the first half of the 1990s, compared with the second half of the 1980s. However, the effect of IT investment is again changed to a rise or plus after 1995. This has a big relation to the advancement of IT, such as evolution of an information network, and there is also change in the management of IT itself. These results will support our objective which is to consider the directions of more effective IT investment, as well as to give the right direction of corporate management for the future in Japan.

description: We compare the average star formation (SF) activity in X-ray selected AGN hosts with mass-matched control inactive galaxies,including star forming and quiescent sources, at 0.510sigma) for bright AGNs. However, when comparing to star forming galaxies only, AGN hosts are broadly consistent with the locus of their `main sequence'. We investigate the relative far-IR luminosity distributions of active and inactive galaxies, and find a higher fraction of PACS detected, hence normal and highly star forming systems among AGN hosts. Although different interpretations are possible, we explain our findings as a consequence of a twofold AGN growth path: faint AGNs evolve through secular processes, with instantaneous AGN accretion not tightly linked to the current total SF in the host, while luminous AGNs co-evolve with their hosts through periods of enhanced AGN activity and SF, possibly through major mergers. While an increased SF with respect to non-AGNs of similar mass is expected in the latter, we interpret the modest SF offsets measured in low-Lx AGN hosts as either a) generated by non-synchronous accretion and SF histories in a merger scenario or b) due to possible connections between instantaneous SF and accretion that can be induced by smaller scale (non-major merger) mechanisms. Far-IR luminosity distributions favour the latter scenario.

description: This short and final empirical chapter looks at net lending flows – incomes minus expenditures – over time for the government, private, and rest of the world "institutional sectors", normalized in all cases by GDP. Long debates and many policy recommendations have followed from the interpretation of how net lending by different sectors relate to each other. We therefore review the conceptual debate first. This also serves as an introduction to the short-term macroeconomic analysis of Chapter 7.

description: The CME Nikkei 225 "Quanto" futures contract settles against the Nikkei Index but taken to refer to US dollars. In contrast, the corresponding "Vanilla" instruments trading in Singapore and Osaka, settle in Yen. We show that the returns to the Quanto future are correlated with returns to the US market, as represented by the CME S&P500 future, even after controlling for the returns to the Vanilla contract, translated into dollars, and the dollar/Yen returns. This correlation is partially reversed the next day. This result goes against the usual analysis of Quanto instruments, which asserts that they can be hedged via the corresponding vanilla instrument, and a currency position. In fact, we show that our Quanto and Vanilla investment strategies should not differ in their currency exposure, and this is reflected in the significance of the dollar/Yen return not being high or consistent from year to year in our regressions. Our results point to the international market being segmented; users of the CME Quanto Nikkei future are influenced too much by the US Market factor.
Nickel nanoparticles induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human bronchial epithelial cells via the HIF-1α/HDAC3 pathway

description: We and others have previously demonstrated that exposure to nickel nanoparticles (Nano-Ni) caused fibrogenic and carcinogenic effects; however, the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Nano-Ni on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) and its underlying mechanisms since EMT is involved in both cancer pathogenesis and tissue fibrosis. Our results showed that exposure to Nano-Ni, compared to the control Nano-TiO2, caused a remarkable decrease in the expression of E-cadherin and an increase in the expression of vimentin and α-SMA, indicating an inducible role of Nano-Ni in EMT development in human bronchial epithelial cells. HIF-1α nuclear accumulation, HDAC3 upregulation, and decreased histone acetylation were also observed in the cells exposed to Nano-Ni, but not in those exposed to Nano-TiO2. Pretreatment of the cells with a specific HIF-1α inhibitor, CAY10585, or HIF-1α-specific siRNA transfection prior to Nano-Ni exposure resulted in the restoration of E-cadherin and abolished Nano-Ni-induced upregulation of vimentin and α-SMA, suggesting a crucial role of HIF-1α in Nano-Ni-induced EMT development. CAY10585 pretreatment also attenuated the HDAC3 upregulation and increased histone acetylation. Inhibition of HDAC3 with specific siRNA significantly restrained Nano-Ni-induced reduction in histone acetylation and restored EMT-related protein expression to near control levels. In summary, our findings suggest that exposure to Nano-Ni promotes the development of EMT in human bronchial epithelial cells by decreasing histone acetylation through HIF-1α-mediated HDAC3 upregulation. Our findings may provide information for further understanding of the molecular mechanisms of Nano-Ni-induced fibrosis and carcinogenesis.

description: Personal navigation is one of the fastest developing fields due to ever changing needs of consumers. Most recently, GPS-based systems have gained popularity in commercial navigation systems. However, a problem arises when the GPS is unable to provide positions due to interruptions in the signals. One way to solve this problem is by using inertial sensors that do not require any outside signals. The thesis deals with the issues related to the design specifications for a completely portable navigation system (PNS). A PNS is defined as a navigation module that is completely transferable from vehicle to vehicle and from one mode of transit to the other and should be able to provide navigation information even for short GPS signal outages. The PNS requires calibration and alignment before navigation can be started. These two topics require different implementation methods to accommodate for the special needs associated with portability. A new method was proposed that can perform calibration of the sensors without any requirement on the PNS shape. Alignment is not required if six sensors are part of the system, however, partial sensor system will require some alignment criteria. For low-cost commercial system, signal sampling requirement is also important as the choice of micro processor, memory card and DAQ card are all cost defining factors. A frequency of 50Hz and timing errors of up to 1 ms did not degrade the navigation results, however, 10 bits resolution produced significant degradation. It was also determined that a heading gyro and a dual axis accelerometer in the horizontal plane with velocity aiding produced comparable results to six sensors unit without any aiding, and hence can be used for low-cost navigation. As a PNS can be used either by a person on-foot or in-vehicle, one of the important issues is to identify the correct mode of transit to apply the most appropriate navigation equations. Consequently, an algorithm was developed and tested to detect mode of transit when the system was attached on the belt of the user. A levelled ground walking scenario produced the best results and the average accuracies of other cases stayed over 90%.

description: We use panel data to estimate the marginal product of transport infrastructures for 96 countries. Using construction costs, we also calculate rates of return to road building. Our main finding is that transportation infrastructure appears to have "normal" rates of return in developed countries, extraordinarily high rates of return in industrializing countries, and moderate rates of return in underdeveloped countries. Our results also imply that the effect of infrastructure has little short run impact on output but leads to a higher growth rate and higher output in the long run.

description: We construct a simple U(1) hidden sector model of metastable dark matter that could explain excess 511 keV gamma rays from the galactic center as observed by INTEGRAL, through inelastic scattering of dark matter followed by its decay. Although the model is highly constrained, it naturally accommodates dark matter with mass and cross section in the range suggested by the CoGeNT and CRESST experiments. The dark gauge boson that mediates the interactions with standard model matter has a mass of several hundred MeV, and might be discovered by heavy photon detection experiments, including APEX, MAMI and HPS.

description: The thesis aims to gain a deeper understanding of the organisational moral
      development (OMD) phenomenon. Three specific issues have been identified
      that hinders from gaining a deeper understanding of OMD: lack of
      ontological foundation for interdisciplinarity, inadequate moral
      philosophy and lack of understanding on strategic renewal in the moral
      dimension. To this, the thesis provides an alternative view of OMD by
      synthesising three perspectives: the field of organisational learning
      (OL), the meta-theory of critical realism (CR), and the worldview of
      Islam. As a result, a framework called ‘organisational learning by hearts’
      (OLH) is developed, founded upon sound ontological foundation for
      interdisciplinarity, with adequate moral philosophy and an understanding
      on moral strategic renewal process. At the centre of the framework is the
      ‘heart’, the knowing essence of human, and its potential to become moral,
      as well as immoral. This then affects the process of organisational
      development: the moral and wise individual would contribute towards the
      moral development of the organisation, whereas the immoral individual
      would contribute towards immoral development. Two extreme ends of OMD are
      also conceived: organisational moral learning (OML) and organisational
      immoral learning (OIL). The framework has uncovered various factors and
      processes that play a part in the overall OMD, and strategies have been
      developed to ensure moral development. However, the OLH framework is
      heavily conceptual in nature. An empirical study is thus conducted to
      enrich the framework with real-life illustration.

Derivation of relativistic hydrodynamic equations consistent with relativistic Boltzmann equation by renormalization-group method

description: We review our work on the application of the renormalization-group method to obtain first- and second-order relativistic hydrodynamics of the relativistic Boltzmann equation (RBE) as a dynamical system, with some corrections and new unpublished results. For the first-order equation, we explicitly obtain the distribution function in the asymptotic regime as the invariant manifold of the dynamical system, which turns out to be nothing but the matching condition defining the energy frame, i.e., the Landau-Lifshitz one. It is argued that the frame on which the flow of the relativistic hydrodynamic equation is defined must be the energy frame, if the dynamics should be consistent with the underlying RBE. A sketch is also given for derivation of the second-order hydrodynamic equation, i.e., extended thermodynamics, which is accomplished by extending the invariant manifold so that it is spanned by excited modes as well as the zero modes (hydrodynamic modes) of the linearized collision operator. On the basis of thus constructed resummed distribution function, we propose a novel ansatz for the functional form to be used in Grad moment method; it is shown that our theory gives the same expressions for the transport coefficients as those given in the Chapman-Enskog theory as well as the novel expressions for the relaxation times and lengths allowing natural interpretation.
description: 12 pages. Subsection 4.1 is largely rewritten to elaborate the argument leading to the unique choice of the macroscopic-frame vector as the flow velocity. Some other parts are also modified with some references added to make the discussions precise and clearer. Typos are corrected.

description: This thesis describes an action research project that was carried out with first semester students of Spanish at the University of Calgary to evaluate the impact of a pedagogical innovation on their motivation and attitudes towards Spanish speakers and the Spanish language. The study combines the theories of attitudes and motivation developed by social psychologist R.C. Gardner with the descriptions oflanguage and language acquisition proposed by Russian linguist and literary critic Mikhail M. Bakhtin. We propose that projects of intercultural contact through Computer Mediated Communication in the language classroom can not only improve students' attitudes and motivation, but also allow them to experience characteristics of language that are usually absent in the classroom setting. Among these features are language heteroglossia, the importance of the communicative utterance, and the impact that the other, or the potential audience, has on the utterance.

description: We report on the follow-up and recovery of 100 program NEAs, PHAs and VIs using the ESO/MPG 2.2m, Swope 1m and INT 2.5m telescopes equipped with large field cameras. The 127 fields observed during 11 nights covered 29 square degrees. Using these data, we present the incidental survey work which includes 558 known MBAs and 628 unknown moving objects mostly consistent with MBAs from which 58 objects became official discoveries. We planned the runs using six criteria and four servers which focus mostly on faint and poorly observed objects in need of confirmation, follow-up and recovery. We followed 62 faint NEAs within one month after discovery and we recovered 10 faint NEAs having big uncertainties at their second or later opposition. Using the INT we eliminated 4 PHA candidates and VIs. We observed in total 1,286 moving objects and we reported more than 10,000 positions. All data were reduced by the members of our network in a team effort, and reported promptly to the MPC. The positions of the program NEAs were published in 27 MPC and MPEC references and used to improve their orbits. The O-C residuals for known MBAs and program NEAs are smallest for the ESO/MPG and Swope and about four times larger for the INT whose field is more distorted. The incidental survey allowed us to study statistics of the MBA and NEA populations observable today with 1--2m facilities. We calculate preliminary orbits for all unknown objects, classifying them as official discoveries, later identifications and unknown outstanding objects. The orbital elements a, e, i calculated by FIND_ORB software for the official discoveries and later identified objects are very similar with the published elements which take into account longer observational arcs; thus preliminary orbits were used in statistics for the whole unknown dataset.

Societal Adjustments to the Threat of Terrorist Attacks

Subjects: Social sciences--Research

description: Terrorist attacks in the United States and in Western Europe have been rare and the public awareness of the terrorist menace has largely been molded by a few horrific events. In contrast, other countries have experienced chronic terrorism, with attacks on buses, restaurants, coffee shops, and retail establishments. In this paper we assess the impact of terrorism on civilian society in the United States, Northern Ireland, and Israel. We examine the psychological effects, the adaptations made by individuals to enhance their safety, and the consequent adjustments made by institutional actors and by commercial establishments to ensure continued economic viability. We review the various theories of societal adjustments to exogenous shocks, and point out that a very different formulation is required for the case of chronic terrorism than for the societal experience of a one-time attack.

On the computation of Kronecker coefficients
Creators: name: Tewari, Vasu Vineet
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A major open problem in algebraic combinatorics is to find a combinatorial rule to compute the Kronecker product of two Schur functions. This is the same as decomposing the inner tensor product of two irreducible characters of the symmetric group as a sum of irreducible characters. Given that there is a combinatorial rule, namely the Littlewood-Richardson rule, which describes a way to compute the outer tensor product of two irreducible characters of the symmetric group, one would expect an algorithm which achieves the same purpose in the case of the inner tensor product. Jeffrey Remmel and Tamsen Whitehead first came up with a description of the Kronecker coefficients occurring in the Kronecker product of two Schur functions, both indexed by partitions of length at most 2. Mercedes Rosas later arrived at the same result using a different approach. The solution of the general problem would have implications in Complexity Theory and Quantum Information Theory. Our goal in this thesis is to derive formulae for computing the Kronecker product in certain cases where the Schur functions are indexed by partitions which are nearly rectangular. In particular, we study s{(n,n-1,1)}*s{(n,n)}, s{(n-1,n-1,1)}*s{(n,n-1)}, s{(n-1,n-1,2)}*s{(n,n)}, s{(n-1,n-1,1,1)}*s{(n,n)} and s{(n,n,1)}*s{(n,n,1)}. Our approach relies mainly on the fruitful interplay between manipulation of symmetric functions and the representation theory of the symmetric group. As a consequence of these formulae, we also derive an expression enumerating certain standard Young tableaux of bounded height.
