Inner dusty regions of protoplanetary discs - I. High resolution temperature structure

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Our current understanding of the physical conditions in the inner regions of protoplanetary discs is becoming increasingly challenged by the more detailed observational and theoretical explorations. Calculation of dust temperature is one of the key features we strive to understand and a necessary step in image and flux reconstruction. We explore coexistence of small (0.1mic radius) and big (2mic radius) dust grains can coexist at distances from the star where small grains would not survive without big grains shielding them from the direct starlight. The study required a high resolution radiative transfer calculation capable of resolving large temperature gradients and disc surface curvatures caused by dust sublimation. The calculation was also capable of resolving temperature inversion effect in big grains, where the maximum dust temperature is at visual optical depth of tau_V~1.5. We also show disc images and spectra, with disentangled contributions from small and big grains. Big grains dominate the near IR flux, mainly because of the bright hot inner disc rim. Small grains populate almost the entire inner disc interior, but appear in the disc surface at distances 2.2 times larger than the closest distance of big grains from the star. Nevertheless, small grains can contribute to the image surface brightness at smaller radii because they are visible below the optically thin surface defined by stellar heating. Our calculations demonstrate that the sublimation temperature does not provide a unique boundary condition for radiative transfer models of optically thick discs. The source of this problem is the temperature inversion effect, which allows survival of optically thin configurations of big grains closer to the star than the inner radius of optically thick disc. Future attempts to derive more realistic multigrain inner disc models will require the numerical resolution ...

description: The Japanese and the US business presses are full of articles about change in Japanese business practices-in particular, changes in relationships between customers and suppliers. Are closely knit networks of customers and suppliers-the keiretsu-breaking down? We argue that while there is no sign of a dramatic, abrupt breakdown in the system, Japanese automakers are beginning to rethink the make versus buy decision. Automakers are taking firmer control over some transactions while allowing others to become more arms-length. These changes are traceable to some basic changes in the transactions themselves-increased power on the part of suppliers due to changes in technology and globalization, and decreased need for customer-specific investments due to standardization. Furthermore, a sense of economic crisis has caused Japanese firms to question the value of certain business practices, and has made it easier for automakers to rethink their contracting relationships.

Subjects: subject: 004 Informatik

description: In der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit wird thematisiert, wie Coding zu Zwecken der sich im Umbruch befindenden MINT-Bildung eingesetzt werden kann und welche Kompetenzen durch das Erlernen von Programmierfähigkeiten gefördert werden. Darüber hinaus wird ein Bezug zur Informatik als Herkunftswissenschaft des Coding hergestellt und die Relevanz einer frühzeitigen Aneignung von Programmierfähigkeiten in einer digitalen Gesellschaft beleuchtet. Eine Analyse der webbasierten Programmierplattformen Open Roberta Lab, Scratch, Sprite Lab von Code.org und TurtleCoder, die zur Vermittlung von Programmier-fähigkeiten bei Kindern genutzt werden können, gibt Aufschluss darüber, ob sich die benannten Programmierplattformen auch für den Einsatz in außerschulischen Bildungseinrichtungen, wie etwa öffentliche Bibliotheken, eignen.
A single trapped ion in a finite range trap

description: This paper presents a method to describe dynamics of an ion confined in a realistic finite range trap. We model this realistic potential with a solvable one and we obtain dynamical variables (raising and lowering operators) of this potential. We consider coherent interaction of this confined ion in a finite range trap and we show that its center-of-mass motion steady state is a special kind of nonlinear coherent states. Physical properties of this state and their dependence on the finite range of potential are studied.

description: Mit der Hannoverschen Korruptionsskala Österreich-Version (kurz: HKS 38 Ö) kann die Einstellung zu Korruption gemessen werden. Die HKS 38 Ö ist eine Adaption der Hannoverschen Korruptionsskala (kurz: HKS 38) für den österreichischen Sprachraum. Die testtheoretische Überprüfung der HKS 38 Ö wird unter anderem in diesem Manual beschrieben. Die HKS 38 Ö umfasst 38 Items, die den Einstellungskomponenten kognitiv, affektiv und konativ zugeordnet werden können. Innerhalb dieses Manuals werden drei Datenerhebungen geschildert. In der ersten Datenerhebung (n = 1.617) wurde geprüft, ob die HKS 38 grundsätzlich für eine Anwendung in Österreich geeignet ist und ähnlich zuverlässige Messungen wie in Deutschland ermöglicht. Die Erfahrungen aus der ersten Datenerhebung – insbesondere die Hinweise von Testpersonen zur sprachlichen Verständlichkeit – führten zur Erstellung der HKS 38 Ö. Die HKS 38 Ö wurde im Rahmen einer zweiten Datenerhebung entsprechend der klassischen Testtheorie überprüft und auf Basis einer bevölkerungsrepräsentativen Telefonbefragung in Österreich (n ≈ 867) normiert. Neu im Vergleich zur ersten Auflage des Manuals ist die dritte Datenerhebung, in der die HKS 38 Ö für eine Befragung von Polizeischülern (n = 1.455) verwendet wurde. Auch die Daten der dritten Erhebung wurden testtheoretisch überprüft. Die HKS 38 Ö eignet sich zur Befragung von Testpersonen ab einem Alter von 18 Jahren.

description: In order to manipulate the properties of graphene, its very important to understand the electronic structure in presence of disorder. We investigate, within a tight-binding description, the effects of disorder in the on-site (diagonal disorder) term in the Hamiltonian as well as in the hopping integral (off-diagonal disorder) on the electronic dispersion and density of states by augmented space recursion method. Extrinsic off-diagonal disorder is shown to have dramatic effects on the two-dimensional Dirac-cone, including asymmetries in the band structures as well as the presence of discontinuous bands in certain limits. Disorder-induced broadening, related to the scattering length (or life-time) of electrons, is modified significantly with the increasing strength of disorder. We propose that our theory is suitable to study the effects of disorder in other 2D materials, e.g., a boron nitride monolayer.

Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science
subject: History

description: Since its extrication from state socialism, Russia is notable for the ways in which coercive and, at times, violent displays of partisanship have divided its state. Drawing on evidence from ethnographic fieldwork and membership lists of civic organizations, the paper analyzes the composition and configuration of political factions in an in-depth case study of a Russian urban area, 1994-1999. The analysis demonstrates partisan antagonisms in the city emerged from a process of polarization that eliminated identification across factions. During the competition for state office, political groups became embroiled in a cycle of conflict setting the stage for partisans to purge themselves of coalition-builders.

description: Bo H., Zhang B., Oughton C., Yuan X. and Ma J. China's state energy investment during 1991–2007: investment analysis and policy issues, Regional Studies. This article examines China's state energy investment during 1991–2007 using provincial-level panel data. The analysis shows that China's state energy investment is (1) driven by demand for energy, (2) mostly unrelated to energy efficiency, (3) undertaken with the consideration of reducing negative externalities associated with energy production, (4) used by central government to subsidize some local governments, and (5) directed to heavy industries. Policy impacts (4) and (5) are more profound in provinces in which the state's ownership of the provincial industry is high. In addition, results (4) and (5) are stronger at the earlier stage of China's domestic reform and before China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), which suggests that these policy impacts weaken along with the progress of China's market transition. In sum, China's state energy investment responds to demand signals, but state ownership enables the government to implement its policy objectives, possibly at the cost of economic efficiency.
Is Japan's retail sector truly distinctive?

description: Based on statistical analysis of data for 17 countries, Japan's ubiquity of retail stores is largely predicted by its relatively small dwellings, geographic concentration, and high number of commercial vehicles relative to private ones, controlling for the effects of population density. All are factors that economic theory associates with density of retail outlets. This evidence refutes the widespread view that Japan's structure of retail trade is determined by cultural, historical, and regulatory factors unique to Japan.
An assessment of soil water repellency after wildfire in southern British Columbia : comparison of methodologies and predictive indicators
Creators: name: Scott, Adrienne Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Current studies of soil water repellency show that there are multiple contributing factors to its presence and persistence. Water repellency in soils of the Southern Interior of British Columbia has economic implications, as it can contribute to large scale landslides, and management implications as it affects hydrology and wildfire rehabilitation. The purposes of these studies were twofold. The first assessed three appropriate methods for testing soil water repellency of burned and unburned soils from eight areas in southern British Columbia. These tests were performed in laboratory conditions as well as in situ. The Concentration of Ethanol Drop (CED), Mini-Disk Infiltrometer (MDI) and Spatial Repellency Index (SRI) tests were all used, and the results compared to assess whether all were valid. The studies indicated that the MDI, CED and SRI tests are reliable to detect at least the presence or absence of water repellency in both field and laboratory conditions. The second study assessed whether wildfire would increase the presence and degree of water repellency in the soils one or two years after fire, and whether total organic content, texture and ambient moisture content could be used to predict this soil trait. Wildfire did not increase the presence or degree of water repellency, and soil texture, organic matter content and moisture content were not found to be reliable indicators of soil water repellency in these soils. This study showed that water repellency exists in burned and unburned forest soils in BC, and that various methods can be used to test for it. Further detailed studies are needed on the predictors on forest soils in British Columbia.
Transport properties of a boundary-driven one-dimensional gas of spinless fermions

description: We analytically study a system of spinless fermions driven at the boundary with an oscillating chemical potential. Various transport regimes can be observed: at zero driving frequency the particle current through the system is independent of the system's length; at the phase-transition frequency, being equal to the bandwidth, the current decays as n^{-alpha} with the chain length n, alpha being either 2 or 3; below the transition the scaling of the current is n^{-1/2}, indicating anomalous transport, while it is exponentially small exp{(-n/2xi)} above the transition. Therefore, by a simple change of frequency of the a.c. driving one can vary transport from ballistic, anomalous, to insulating.

description: Die nachfolgend berichteten Ergebnisse basieren auf einem vignettenbasierten 2x2-Szenario-Experiment, in das die Situationsfaktoren Entdeckungswahrscheinlichkeit und Vorteilswert sowie die Personenfaktoren Organisationaler Zynismus, das Fünf-Faktoren-Modell der Persönlichkeit und Intelligenz einbezogen wurden. In diesem Bericht werden vorrangig die Ergebnisse zur Persönlichkeitsdimension Gewissenhaftigkeit vorgestellt, einem der Faktoren des Fünf-Faktoren-Modells der Persönlichkeit. Diese Ergebnisse werden ausführlich berichtet, weil sie von besonderer Bedeutung für das vom TÜV Hannover/Sachsen-Anhalt e.V. finanzierte Forschungsprojekt Korruption – Risikofaktoren der Person und der Situation (Laufzeit 2011 bis 2015) sind. Die nachfolgend berichtete Untersuchung zeigt, dass ein akteurszentrierter Ansatz in der Korruptionsursachenforschung grundsätzlich sinnvoll ist. Es wurden 113 Auszubildende in den Bereichen Banken- und Versicherungen sowie Sozialversicherung befragt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Korruption als verbreitete Verhaltensweise angesehen wird, die jedoch als verwerflich gilt. Während die einbezogenen Situationsfaktoren keine nennenswerten Effekte auf die Korruptionsbereitschaft hatten, führten einige der Personenfaktoren zu signifikanten Ergebnissen. Gewissenhaftigkeit kommt hierbei als Schutzfaktor vor korrupten Handlungen besondere Bedeutung zu.
description: The present study bases on a 2x2 scenario experiment, in which several situational and personal factors had been included. Situational factors were the probability of detection and benefit value; personal factors were organizational cynicism, the BIG 5-concept of personality and mental ability. Results presented in this work primarily relate to the personality dimension of conscientiousness. These results are of particular importance for the research project “Korruption – Risikofaktoren der Person und der Situation” ("Corruption - Risk factors of the person and the situation") (duration 2011 to 2015), funded by the TÜV Hannover/Sachsen-Anhalt. They show that an actor-centric approach is useful in research into the causes of corruption. 113 trainees working as banking and insurance specialists and social security clerks had been investigated in a survey study. Results show that corruption is considered as widespread practice, albeit it is thought to be objectionable. While the situational factors had no significant effects on the willingness to act corruptly, some personal factors led to significant results. Altogether, conscientiousness appears to be a protection factor against corrupt practices.

Why I expect Japan to prevail: Ruminations on Morishima

description: Michio Morishima is an eminent economic theorist and also an amateur cultural and intellectual historian of Japan. This is evident in his 1998 paper "Why Do I Expect Japan to Collapse?" , which is the focus of the discussion here. The paper is most appropriately understood in the context of its intellectual heritage, Morishima's stimulating and controversial 1982 book, Why Has Japan "Succeeded" ?. The book informs us about a number of major themes alluded to but, due to lack of space, not developed in the paper. The paper asks where Japan is likely to be in 2050, and why. As the contrasting titles suggest, Morishima seems to see a less shining future for Japan than he once did. His style is sometimes exaggerated, his terminology sometimes apocalyptic.
Greene's Residue Criterion for the Breakup of Invariant Tori of Volume-Preserving Maps

description: Invariant tori play a fundamental role in the dynamics of symplectic and volume-preserving maps. Codimension-one tori are particularly important as they form barriers to transport. Such tori foliate the phase space of integrable, volume-preserving maps with one action and $d$ angles. For the area-preserving case, Greene's residue criterion is often used to predict the destruction of tori from the properties of nearby periodic orbits. Even though KAM theory applies to the three-dimensional case, the robustness of tori in such systems is still poorly understood. We study a three-dimensional, reversible, volume-preserving analogue of Chirikov's standard map with one action and two angles. We investigate the preservation and destruction of tori under perturbation by computing the "residue" of nearby periodic orbits. We find tori with Diophantine rotation vectors in the "spiral mean" cubic algebraic field. The residue is used to generate the critical function of the map and find a candidate for the most robust torus.

description: Die Frauenbewegung vor 1918 war ein Bestandteil der emanzipativen Kräfte der Gesellschaft, die sich gegen die Ständegesellschaft richtete. Diese zerfiel im I. Weltkrieg und stürzte durch die Novemberrevolution von 1918. Die Gründung der Weimarer Republik brachte das allgemeine und gleiche Wahlrecht sowie gleiche Rechte und Pflichten für Männer und Frauen.

Die zweite Welle der Frauenbewegung ab 1968 wurde zu einer Wiederholung der ersten, aber wegen schon bestehender Gleichberechtigung insgesamt als bloße Farce. Mit der dritten Welle der Frauenbewgung, beginnend mit der Weltfrauenkonferenz in Beijing (1995) setzte sich eine rein macht- und verteilungspolitisch inspirierte, ideologisch begründete Politik der Frauenprivilegierung mittels der Diskriminierung von Männern durch, die bisher ungebrochen ist. Eine solche Politik ist deshalb entgegen der subjektiven Selbstwahrnehmung objektiv eine rechte Politik, was aber von den Parteien der politischen Linken (im weitesten Sinne) verkannt wird.

description: This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the first decade of investor activism in Japan. In the context of a remarkable transformation of the Japanese capital market, we document the rise of hedge fund and other investors with a total of 916 filings of block acquisitions by activists in the period from 1998 to 2009. We show that there is, on average, a (modest) positive stock price reaction to the announcement of an activist investment. These effects, however, are concentrated in events involving hostile funds. When we examine returns to activism in the long run we find that gains are not significant overall, except on positions in large target firms. We find that target firms tend to increase their payouts relative to peer firms in response to activist campaigns but we fail to find evidence that activists force target firm managers to institute major operational improvements. Finally we document the explosion in the adoption of "poison pills" by Japanese firms. We find that firms targeted by activists were more likely to adopt defense mechanisms. Since 2007 there has been a substantial reduction in activity by activist funds. Our paper contributes to the literature on investor activism by illustrating the limits to the success of activist funds in a market setting where the takeover market is thin and cannot be used by the activist investor as an "exit" strategy.

description: Seit einigen Jahren wird zunehmend intensiver über das Angebot und den Bedarf an Fachkräften in der Pflege diskutiert. Dazu wurden bereits eine Reihe von Studien und Prognosen veröffentlicht, die allerdings zu sehr unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen kamen. In der öffentlichen wie auch in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion sind deshalb gegenwärtig eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Zahlen anzutreffen. Die Unterschiede sind allerdings nicht nur auf methodische Unterschiede zurückzuführen, sondern vor allem auch darauf, dass es bislang an zuverlässigen und ausreichend differenzierten Daten amtlicher Statistiken zur Gesamtzahl der Beschäftigten in Pflegeberufen mangelt. Zwar bietet die Gesundheitspersonalrechnung (GPR) des Statistischen Bundesamtes einrichtungsübergreifende Angaben zur Gesamtzahl der Beschäftigten in Pflegeberufen, diese sind jedoch zum einen nicht ausreichend differenziert und basieren zum anderen zu einem wesentlichen Teil auf einer Hochrechnung von Ergebnissen der 1 %-Haushaltsstichprobe des Mikrozensus. Die Angaben der GPR sind darum mit dem Risiko behaftet, dass sie aufgrund von Schätzfehlern die tatsächliche Zahl der Beschäftigten über- oder unterschätzen. Zuverlässigere Angaben zur Beschäftigung in Pflegeberufen bieten Teilstatistiken des Gesundheitswesens, die ihre Daten auf dem Wege einer Vollerhebung mit gesetzlicher Auskunftspflicht der befragten Einrichtungen gewinnen. Dies sind die Krankenhausstatistik, die Statistik der Vorsorge- und Rehabilitationseinrichtungen und die Pflegestatistik. In der vorliegenden Studie werden deren Daten erstmals zu einer Gesamtstatistik der Pflegeberufe zusammengeführt. Das Ergebnis ist eine Datenaufbereitung zur Entwicklung und zum Stand der Beschäftigung in Pflegeberufen in Deutschland im Zeitraum 1999-2009, die nicht nur Zahlen zur Gesamtbeschäftigung bietet, sondern auch differenziert nach einzelnen Pflegeberufen und Versorgungsbereichen (Krankenhaus, Rehabilitationsbereich, ambulante Pflegeeinrichtungen und Pflegeheime). Die Analyse der zusammengeführten Daten führt zu einer Reihe von Ergebnissen, die insbesondere auch für die gesundheitspolitische Diskussion von Bedeutung sind.

This species, originally described in Mohrig et al. (1980) and subsequently by Spungis (1985) and Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2013), is known from a very few specimens found in Lithuania, Latvia, and Sweden. In addition to the only specimen previously known from Sweden, a male from Uppland (Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013), four males are reported here from Öland.
Diagnosis. This is the only Gynapteromyia known to have an elongate-trapezoid tegmen without protruding corners apically, gonocoxal apodemes with very short anterior processes, and no ejaculatory apodeme (Mohrig et al. 1980: fig. 1g; Spungis 1985: fig. 2.3). Female wings may be everything from normally developed to strongly reduced (Mohrig et al. 1980: fig. 1a). Female microptery is known also from G. carpatica, a species with singlesegmented palpi (compared with 2–3 palpal segments in G. heteroptera), and might well occur in Gynapteromyia species whose females have not yet been found.
Male characters not mentioned or described otherwise in previous literature. Head. Genal setae 0–1. Palpus with either 2 or 3 segments (Fig. 4E–F), sensory hairs on first and second segments. Wing. Vei n b t v unsetose. Setae confined to apical portion of membrane. Length of CuA varying, usually fading out before wing margin. Legs. Distitarsi with sparse setae, conspicuously dense microtrichia.
Material examined.

A practical dynamic earthquake cycle model as part of a physics-based seismic hazard analysis framework
Creators: name: Muñoz Heinen, Luis Carlos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Physics-based approaches are increasingly being proposed as viable tools to be employed when computing seismic hazard. Contrary to current empirical approaches, these methods apply numerical simulations which consider advanced properties of the local seismic environment, explicitly model complex faulting features and comply with spatio-temporal correlations observed in regional fault networks. Although simulation-based ground-motion models have developed in their maturity and physics-based considerations are also being employed within source-characterization studies, the individual components remain up to now uncoupled within hazard studies. Hence, this thesis attempts a unified source characterization and ground motion modeling procedure as a viable approach for practical simulation-based applications. A single physical framework provides a stronger coupling between components so to remove physically implausible rupture scenarios from hazard studies. Additionally, the coupled approach effectively constrains current parametric and modelling uncertainties, which constitute a significant barrier to the widespread application of physics-based approaches in engineering projects. For this purpose, a simple two-dimensional fault model is derived from the Burridge-Knopoff spring-block model so to facilitate the development and study of both hazard components. The aim is to simulate entire seismic cycles in order to generate synthetic catalogues of potential slip patterns which can be subsequently fed as input into existing ground motion models. A key objective of the work is to derive robust statistics about slip distributions over the entire spectrum of physically admissible source ruptures, and to link the underlying frictional characteristics that govern both the seismic cycle and individual source ruptures.

Ergänzend erfolgen die Vorstellung von Führungskonzepten und Führungsstilen sowie die Darlegung beeinflussender Faktoren auf eine Entscheidung der Führungskraft für ein Konzept oder einen Stil. Um Führung als Ursache innerer Kündigung näher zu erläutern, wird einleitend der Begriff innere Kündigung definiert. Des Weiteren werden mögliche Indikatoren innerer Kündigungen beschrieben und Führungsfehler aufgezeigt, die eine innere Kündigung verursachen können. Eine zusammenfassende Betrachtung verdeutlicht, dass die Führungskonzepte Management by Objectives und transformationale Führung sowie ein kooperativer Führungsstil Möglichkeiten zur Vermeidung innerer Kündigung darstellen. Abschließend werden Grenzen dieser Studienarbeit aufgezeigt und in einem Ausblick ein künftiger Umgang mit der Thematik skizziert.

description: Basically Japan’s mediocre economic performance continues. Even more dismaying has been the persistence of the same major macro, financial, and structural problems that have plagued Japan for some years now – inadequate aggregate demand, huge non-performing loans, corporate excess capacity and low profitability, unemployment, slowness to engage in substantial structural reforms, and so on.

description: Altruistisches Verhalten ist ein fester Bestandteil im Leben von Menschen. Die Bereitschaft sich gegenseitig zu unterstützen ist durch unterschiedliche Motive gekennzeichnet. Manche Menschen helfen, ohne einen eigenen Nutzen daraus zu ziehen. Andere Menschen dagegen verhalten sich in gewissem Maße hilfsbereit, erwarten hierfür aber eine Gegenleistung. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die altruistischen Verhaltensweisen von Studierenden verschiedener Fachrichtungen. Basierend auf der Technik der verlorenen Briefe wurde in einem Feldexperiment das altruistische Verhalten von Studierenden der Fakultät IV (Wirtschaft und Informatik) und der Fakultät V (Diakonie, Gesundheit und Soziales) der Hochschule Hannover untersucht. Dabei wurden Briefe an unterschiedlichen Stellen platziert und deren Mitnahme- und Rücklaufergebnis gemessen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Studierende der Fakultät IV (Wirtschaft und Informatik) eher zu altruistischem Verhalten neigen, als die durch ihren Studiengang vermeintlich stärker sozial geprägten Studierenden der Fakultät V (Diakonie, Gesundheit und Soziales). Ferner nimmt die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines altruistischen Verhaltens mit steigender Anzahl an anwesenden Personen ab.
description: Altruistic behavior is an integral part in human life. The willingness to support each other is characterized by different motives. Some people help others without any reason and without taking their personal benefit from it. Others behave with a certain degree of sacrifice, but with expectance of an equivalent in return. The present study examines the altruistic behaviors of students from different disciplines. Based on the lost letters technique within a field experiment the altruistic behavior of students of the Faculty IV (economics and information technologies) and Faculty V (social sciences) of the Hochschule Hanover was examined.The letters were placed in different locations with measuring their take away and return results. The results show that the students of Faculty IV (economics and information technologies) are more likely to behave altruistically than the students of Faculty V (social sciences), which are supposedly more socially influenced through their courses. Furthermore the probability for altruistic behavior decreases with an increasing number of people present.
The status of women in Japan: Has the Equal Employment Opportunity Law made a difference?
Creators: name: Edwards, Linda N.

Subjects: Economics

description: In April, 1986 the Japanese Equal Employment Opportunity Law went into effect. This law prohibits gender discrimination with respect to vocational training, fringe benefits, retirement and dismissal, and urges firms to try to equalize opportunity with regard to recruitment, hiring, job assignment, and promotion. Evaluating this law soon after its passage, Edwards (1988) predicted that it was not likely to have a significant impact on Japanese women's labor market opportunities- not so much because of its weak enforcement provisions, but rather because of the way in which the personnel policies of Japanese firms interact with the labor supply patterns of Japanese women. In this paper I assess the accuracy of Edwards' prediction by examining data for the period since the law's passage to determine if there have been any measurable effects. In addition, I discuss new developments in the Japanese economy that herald an improved labor market outlook for Japanese women, and especially university graduates.
Creating space: how mormon women reconcile their feminist attitudes within a patriarchal religion

description: Bibliography: p. 92-99
description: The purpose of this study is to investigate how Mormon women reconcile their feminist attitudes within a patriarchal religion. Thirteen women from six different cities across Canada and the United States were interviewed. The qualitative approach of heuristic selfsearch inquiry was used to analyze the data. The findings suggest that the experience of being a Mormon feminist is a complex one due to its paradoxical nature. The overarching method of reconciliation includes the ability to create a personal space in the midst of those paradoxes. The main methods of reconciliation include: ( 1) treating the patriarchal system as peripheral to one's faith, spiritual development and personal relationship with God, (2) reconstructing an idiosyncratic understanding of Mormon theology that better fits with one's feminist beliefs, and (3) taking some form of action to move beyond the patriarchal structure and foster personal empowerment. Implications for counselling are considered.
Energy fluctuations, hydrodynamics and local correlations in harmonic systems with bulk noises

description: In this note, I summarise and comment on joint work with C. Bernardin, V. Kannan and J. L. Lebowitz concerning two harmonic systems with bulk noises whose nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) are nearly identical (they share the same thermal conductivity and two-point function), but whose hydrodynamic properties (convergence towards the NESS) are very different. The goal is to discuss the results in the general context of nonequilibrium properties of dynamical systems, in particular, what they tell us about possible effective models, or predictive approximations, for such systems.

Agricultural Biotechnology's Complementary Intellectual Assets

description: We formulate and test a hypothesis to explain the dramatic restructuring experienced recently by the plant breeding and seed industry. The reorganization can be explained in part by the desire to exploit complementarities between intellectual assets needed to create genetically modified organisms. This hypothesis is tested using data on agricultural biotechnology patents, notices for field tests of genetically modified organisms, and firm characteristics. The presence of complementarities is identified with a positive covariance in the unexplained variation of asset holdings. Results indicate that coordination of complementary assets have increased under the consolidation of the industry.
A change in perception: a hermeneutical inquiry into the experiences of women who practice yoga and their perceived body image
Creators: name: Fiebig, Lindsey
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2009

description: Bibliography: p. 142-153
description: This hermeneutic-phenomenological study explored the experiences of women who practice yoga and their perceived body image and self-esteem. Women in North America often struggle with body image issues because of the intense focus our society has on unrealistic beauty standards for women. Women's relationships with their bodies are complex and can be affected negatively by many different things. As such it was important to explore how yoga might affect women's perceptions of their bodies, and explore if yoga could be a positive influence in women's lives and their relationship with their bodies. The study found five themes (Experiencing a change in self-esteem and/or body image; Reflecting on the media's representation of the female body; Yoga as a way to balance life; Mind-body wholeness; and Formation and change in identity) and seventeen sub-themes which emerged from interviews that were conducted with five participants. Implications for counsellors are discussed.
The dark-matter world: Are there dark-matter galaxies?

description: We attempt to answer whether neutrinos and antineutrinos, such as those in the cosmic neutrino background, would clusterize among themselves or even with other dark-matter particles, under certain time span, say 1 Gyr. With neutrino masses in place, the similarity with the ordinary matter increases and so is our confidence for neutrino clustering if time is long enough. In particular, the clusterings could happen with some seeds (cf. see the text for definition), the chance in the dark-matter world to form dark-matter galaxies increases. If the dark-matter galaxies would exist in a time span of 1 Gyr, then they might even dictate the formation of the ordinary galaxies (i.e. the dark-matter galaxies get formed first); thus, the implications for the structure of our Universe would be tremendous.

description: Gynapteromyia hondrui (Mamaev, 1964) comb. nov.
Chastomera hondrui — Mamaev 1964: 902. Haplusia hondrui — Gagné 1978: 518.
A single male from Romania, whose morphology was outlined by Mamaev (1964), is all that is known of this species. Mamaev (1964) mentioned that the genitalia of G. hondrui were similar to that in Diallactes (valid name Diallactia), but failed to detail his observation, so one needs to study the holotype specimen as to establish clarity on this point. A two-segmented palpus with swollen first segment was previously thought to be a peculiarity of G. hondrui (see Mohrig et al. 1980), but similar palpi were found in G. h e t e ro p t er a (Fig. 4E) and were described for G. indica (Grover 1971: pl. 1, fig. 1).

description: A prototype module for an International Linear Collider (ILC) detector was built, installed, and tested between 2006 and 2009 at CERN and Fermilab as part of the CALICE test beam program, in order to study the possibilities of extending energy sampling behind a hadronic calorimeter and to study the possibilities of providing muon tracking. The "tail catcher/muon tracker" (TCMT) is composed of 320 extruded scintillator strips (dimensions 1000 mm x 50 mm x 5 mm) packaged in 16 one-meter square planes interleaved between steel plates. The scintillator strips were read out with wavelength shifting fibers and silicon photomultipliers. The planes were arranged with alternating horizontal and vertical strip orientations. Data were collected for muons and pions in the energy range 6 GeV to 80 GeV. Utilizing data taken in 2006, this paper describes the design and construction of the TCMT, performance characteristics, and a beam-based evaluation of the ability of the TCMT to improve hadronic energy resolution in a prototype ILC detector. For a typical configuration of an ILC detector with a coil situated outside a calorimeter system with a thickness of 5.5 nuclear interaction lengths, a TCMT would improve relative energy resolution by 6-16 % for pions between 20 and 80 GeV.
