description: We discuss different ways that neutron stars can generate gravitational waves, describe recent improvements in modelling the relevant scenarios in the context of improving detector sensitivity, and show how observations are beginning to test our understanding of fundamental physics. The main purpose of the discussion is to establish promising science goals for third-generation ground-based detectors, like the Einstein Telescope, and identify the various challenges that need to be met if we want to use gravitational-wave data to probe neutron star physics.

Is the Inability to Marry a Marital Status? Levin v. Yeshiva University and the Intersection of Sexual Orientation and Marital Status in Housing Discrimination
Creators: name: Kravis, Andrew
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2012

description: This Article posits that when an unmarried same-sex couple is denied a housing opportunity, the discriminator’s motivation is not always clear. The discriminator may simply deny discriminating altogether, or alternatively may justify his or her actions in one of two ways: either he or she discriminated because the couple was unmarried or because they were presumably not heterosexual. Where state law provides protections for only one of these classes (either unmarried persons or non-heterosexuals) or for neither, unmarried same-sex couples are subject to the whims of discriminatory pretext. Because the Fair Housing Act does not protect against either sexual orientation housing discrimination or marital status housing discrimination, state law governs these cases. Thus, housing providers in the thirty-five states that protect only one or neither of these statuses avoid legal consequences for their discrimination by recharacterizing the facts to fit the permissible form of discrimination. When and if federal marriage equality is enacted, having dual protections for sexual orientation and marital status will reduce or negate the disparate impact created by many courts’ narrow-view analysis of marital status discrimination. The logic is fairly simple: as more LGBT couples get married, the percentage of total unmarried couples that are LGBT should decrease. But as long as sexual orientation discrimination and marital status discrimination are thought of as separate and distinct vectors of discrimination, such as they are in the current drafting of the Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) Act, courts will continue to miss the various contexts in which the two operate simultaneously to freeze the status quo—a society which treats unmarried homosexual couples worse than their married and heterosexual counterparts. To achieve real progress, federal legislators first must pass federal marriage equality, and second must define marital status discrimination to comport with the “broad view” taken by many state courts. Otherwise, housing providers will be free to deny unmarried couples housing, and that practice will continue to have a disparate negative impact on LGBT couples in jurisdictions where they are not allowed to marry.

description: A Lifshitz point is described by a quantum field theory with anisotropic scale invariance (but not Galilean invariance). In arXiv:0808.1725, gravity duals were conjectured for such theories. We construct analytically a black hole which asymptotes to a vacuum Lifshitz solution; this black hole solves the equations of motion of some simple (but somewhat strange) extensions of the models of arXiv:0808.1725. We study its thermodynamics and scalar response functions. The scalar wave equation turns out to be exactly solvable. Interestingly, the Green's functions do not exhibit the ultralocal behavior seen previously in the free Lifshitz scalar theory.

Dealing with DOMA: Federal Non-Recognition Complicates State Income Taxation of Same-Sex Relationships
Creators: name: Smith, Carlton
name: Stein, Edward
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2012

description: Various states now recognize relationships between people of the same sex, but due to the Defense of Marriage Act, the federal government does not. In the context of income taxes, this combination of state recognition and federal non-recognition of same-sex relationships produces a significant problem for many same-sex couples and some state taxing authorities. Most states have income tax and, typically, state income tax laws “piggyback” on federal income tax laws. Depending on the state, same-sex couples in legally-recognized relationships must file their state income tax returns as married (either “filing jointly” or “filing separately”), as domestic partners, or as parties to a civil union. Such same-sex couples cannot, however,-file their federal-income tax returns as a couple. For same-sex couples, this situation creates uncertainty and complications and probably increases the risk of audit. It is also an unfair affront to the dignity of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. The Article examines this problem by surveying the guidance from thirteen states and the District of Columbia with respect to the taxation of same-sex relationships and by considering each jurisdiction’s actual income tax practices. The Article also recommends best practices for state taxing authorities, including: (1) amending state tax laws to specifically allow joint filing by same-sex couples; (2) issuing more guidance to same-sex couples on specific relevant issues; (3) adding boxes to state tax returns to indicate that these returns will involve nonconformity with federal filing status; and (4) not requiring same-sex couples who file state joint income tax returns to also complete “pro forma” federal “married” income tax returns.

Honor as Property
Creators: name: Bond, Johanna
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2012

description: This Article is the first to use a property lens to explore the social construction of honor within legal systems around the world. The Article makes the claim that the law in many countries has implicitly treated honor as a form of property and has made legal and social allowances for men who seek to reclaim honor property through violence. The Article expands the boundaries of the existing scholarship concerning honor-related violence by exploring the intersections between social constructions of honor and social constructions of property. Using a property lens to analyze the relationship between honor, patriarchal control, and law provides a deeper understanding of the motivations for this form of gender-based violence. The Article also assesses the implications of this new theoretical model and concludes that honor must be reframed to position women as potential holders of honor property and to disassociate honor from the social regulation of women’s sexuality.

Federalizing Embryo Transfers: Taming the Wild West of Reproductive Medicine?
Creators: name: Daar, Judith
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2012

description: This article addresses the oft-spoken urban myth that the field of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is a wholly unregulated medical subspecialty, leaving cowboy physicians to abuse vulnerable patients and disregard the well-being of ART-induced offspring. The birth of octoplets in January 2009 fueled this myth and launched a campaign to regulate the field by restricting the number of embryos allowed for transfer in any single IVF cycle. This article critiques the merits of a federal law codifying embryo transfer limits in the provision of infertility care. Drafting a federal embryo transfer law is easy enough, but assuring enforcement by regulators and compliance by physicians and patients presents near insurmountable barriers. Even if such a law set out sensible clinical guidelines on the number of embryos to transfer, validating that practitioners have complied with statutory standards may require invading patient privacy in a wholly distasteful manner. Moreover, data collected on the effectiveness of civil fines in the regulatory setting suggest rampant undercollection, casting doubt on fine-based penalty’s capacity to deter banned conduct. Still other data suggests that criminal penalties fare no better, as both prosecutors and juries are reluctant to penalize a physician who, in good faith, responds to a patient’s plea for help. Compliance with embryo transfer limits are in doubt not just because traditional penalty structures are ineffective, but because patients and physicians are incentivized by the high cost and low reimbursement rates for infertility care to prefer more embryos be transferred to maximize the chances for a live birth. When multiple births, particularly twins, is a preferred outcome based on financial constraints, looking to a stand-alone embryo transfer law to curb the high rate of multiples will have little effect. Instead, this article argues that now is the time to ease the financial burden by including infertility care in the package of essential health benefits being developed under the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Matching the burden of embryo transfer limits with the benefit of coverage will have a real and lasting impact on the public health concerns that legitimately coalesce around multiple births.

A Room for “Adam and Steve” at Mrs. Murphy’s Bed and Breakfast
Creators: name: Forman, David M.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2012

description: This article aims to encourage a vital and evolutionary step forward in understanding how multifaceted legal processes shape, and should shape, thinking about gay and lesbian couples within religious communities and the body politic. The article begins by providing context that illustrates the place-based and diffuse nature of an ongoing culture war between civil rights and religious freedom, further exposing the painful irony inherent in using misinterpretations of the Sodom and Gomorrah parable to reinforce inhospitality. The article describes a state-by-state patchwork of nondiscrimination laws governing places of public accommodation and explores the Jim Crow origins of the “Mrs. Murphy” exception that has been incorporated into a handful of state nondiscrimination laws. The article then examines how existing legal frameworks address claims of sexual orientation discrimination alongside defenses based upon religious freedom. Finally, this article seeks to accelerate an emerging trend toward including sexual orientation as a protected category in our nation’s nondiscrimination laws, by highlighting an opportunity to counter religious misinterpretations currently reflected in the prevailing cultural narrative.

Affirmative Sexual Consent in Canadian Law, Jurisprudence, and Legal Theory
Creators: name: Vandevort, Lucinda
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2012

description: This article examines the development of affirmative sexual consent in Canadian jurisprudence and legal theory and its adoption in Canadian law. Affirmative sexual consent requirements were explicitly proposed in Canadian legal literature in 1986, codified in the 1992 Criminal Code amendments, and recognized as an essential element of the common law and statutory definitions of sexual consent by the Supreme Court of Canada in a series of cases decided since 1994. Although sexual violence and non-enforcement of sexual assault laws are worldwide phenomena, the international scholarly literature reflects limited awareness of these developments in Canadian law. This article remedies that gap in the literature. The Canadian experience with the definition of sexual consent as communicated “voluntary agreement” demonstrates the value of this conceptualization of consent; the definition provides a well-defined set of nondiscretionary reference points for legal analysis of the facts in sexual assault offenses. The effect is to facilitate effective enforcement of the sexual assault laws and affirm the right to sexual autonomy, sexual self-determination, and equality, consistent with fundamental principles of individual human rights. For all these reasons, familiarity with the Canadian experience may be useful to those engaged with the reform of rape and sexual assault laws in other jurisdictions.

Anonymously Provided Sperm and the Constitution

description: Obtaining sperm to use in Assisted Reproductive Technology (“ART”) is relatively simple.’ Hospitals, clinics, and sperm banks throughout the United States are in the business of selling sperm from literally thousands of men.’ This does not mean, however, that becoming a sperm provider is easy. When a man decides to sell his sperm, he must first undergo an involved screening process to test for genetically inheritable and infectious diseases that could be transmitted through his sperm. The screening process is purposefully rigorous, and sperm banks boast that the effect of these stringent guidelines is to eliminate ninety-nine percent of potential providers.’ Once a man is approved to provide sperm, he contracts with the sperm bank to supply sperm for a specified period of time and designates himself as either an anonymous or open-identity sperm provider.

description: Nanoparticles with multiple ligands have been proposed for use in nanomedicine. The multiple targeting ligands on each nanoparticle can bind to several locations on a cell surface facilitating both drug targeting and uptake. Experiments show that the distribution of conjugated ligands is unexpectedly broad, and the desorption rate appears to depends exponentially upon the mean number of attached ligands. These two findings are explained with a model in which ligands conjugate to the nanoparticle with a positive cooperativity of $\approx 4kT$, and that nanoparticles bound to a surface by multiple bonds are permanently affixed. This drives new analysis of the data, which confirms that there is only one time constant for desorption, that of a nanoparticle bound to the surface by a single bond.

In North Carolina and across the country, climate change has led to warmer average temperatures. Periods of extreme heat, an increasingly common weather event in North Carolina, can result in heat-related illness, including heat exhaustion, heat stroke and even death. Heat-related illness puts health at risk, especially among low- income populations, adds to healthcare expenditures, strains resources and decreases productivity. In this paper, we define the problem, evaluate different policy solutions, determine the most effective policy solution and propose a three-year budget. We found that the most impactful, cost-effective and equitable policy solution is to ban utility companies in North Carolina from disconnecting residents' power for nonpayment May-September, or in a period of extreme heat. The policy will be evaluated by tracking the number of households that retain power during summer months, calculating the change in heat-related ED visits over time, and holding focus groups.





Gauss map and Lyapunov exponents of interacting particles in a billiard

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We show that the Lyapunov exponent (LE) of periodic orbits with Lebesgue measure zero from the Gauss map can be used to determine the main qualitative behavior of the LE of a Hamiltonian system. The Hamiltonian system is a one-dimensional box with two particles interacting via a Yukawa potential and does not possess Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) curves. In our case the Gauss map is applied to the mass ratio $γ= m_2/m_1$ between particles. Besides the main qualitative behavior, some unexpected peaks in the $γ$ dependence of the mean LE and the appearance of 'stickness' in phase space can also be understand via LE from the Gauss map. This shows a nice example of the relation between the "instability" of the continued fraction representation of a number with the stability of non-periodic curves (no KAM curves) from the physical model. Our results also confirm the intuition that pseudo-integrable systems with more complicated invariant surfaces of the flow (higher genus) should be more unstable under perturbation.

Tumbo-Insel, v. H. Mich. Müller dem Zool. G. lebeml überbracht, starb aber bald ohne Nahrung genommen zu haben.
Diese Art scheint in der Zeichnung sehr constant zu sein, dagegen in der Beschilderung des Hinterkopfes um so mehr zu variiren. Während unser früheres Stück in dieser Beziehung ziemlich gut zu der Beschreibung in Dum. Bibr. passt, stimmt das gegenwlrtige ganz nicht damit und noch viel weniger mit der Jarfsohen Abbildung. Es seheint mir dasselbe auch zu beweisen, dass die von DB. gegebene Deutung resp. Benennung der Kopfsehilıler nicht richtig ist, insofern die von letzterm als „ une froutale divisée “ bezeichneten 2 Schilder eher den Oceipitalschildern der Colubriden entsprechen, während die occipitalia von DB. als postoceipitalia zu bezeichnen sind. Das wirkliche frontale (resp. verticale) ist beim vorliegenden Exemplar als ein (zentrales, zwar sehr kleines, aber regelmässiges Schild markirt, welches hinter und zwischen den Postfrontalien (frcnto-nasalia DB.) liegt, würde also 1 oder mehrern der vou DB. erwähnten 8 frontales antérieures entsprechen, die bei unserm Stück auf 5 sehr regelmässige Schilder reducirt sind.
Pyth. regius ist als Art hinreichend sharacterisiı-t durch die auffallende Schlankheit des Vorderleibs, durch die Berührung 'des Auges von Seite der fünften labiale, durch die grossen Prae- und Pııstfruntalien (internasalia und frcntonasalia) und die Zeichnung, Die Art scheint kaum die Grösse von 2 m. zu erreichen; sie wird in den Factoreien als eine Art Hausthier zur Rattenvertilgung geduldet.

Characterization of DPP4⁺ fibroadipogenic progenitors in skeletal muscle
Creators: name: Cheung, Chun Wai
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Muscle regeneration is a highly orchestrated process in which multiple tissue-resident and infiltrating cells actively participate to ensure optimal repair and functional recovery. More than a decade ago, we reported a muscle resident, non-myogenic mesenchymal stromal cell type which we termed fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs) for their ability to spontaneously differentiate into mature fibroblasts or adipocytes. FAPs regulate multiple aspects of muscle biology, including maintenance of basement membrane, provide trophic support for muscle satellite cells, and recruitment of immune cells in response to injury. Recently, advent in single cell technologies unveiled previously unappreciated heterogeneity within FAPs. We and others identified dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (Dpp4) as a putative marker for one of the FAP subsets that is present in homeostasis. In this study, we first demonstrated a robust flow cytometry workflow to purify DPP4⁺ FAPs from steady state skeletal muscles, and implemented a variety of biological assays to comprehensively characterize this FAP subset. DPP4⁺ FAPs are more proliferative, display a stronger capacity of undergoing adipogenic differentiation without sacrificing their fibrogenic potential, and have a higher frequency of colony forming units (CFUs), compared with their DPP4-negative counterparts. In vitro culturing further showed that DPP4⁺ FAPs are the precursors of DPP4⁻ FAPs, while DPP4⁻ FAPs have negligible contribution to DPP4⁺ FAPs. We also revealed a potential role of DPP4+ FAPs as a niche for a recently discovered population of LYVE1⁺ skeletal muscle self-renewing resident macrophages. Lastly, we employed a newly developed transgenic DPP4CreERT2 mouse model to ablate DPP4-expressing cells and showed that they are critical for survival. Together, this project provided a detailed description of a novel FAP subset that has important roles in steady state muscles.
Pregnant in Foster Care: Prenatal Care, Abortion, and the Consequences for Foster Families

description: Girls in foster care get pregnant. A lot.’ For example, in 2005 the New York City Office of the Public Advocate estimated that as many as “[o]ne in six young women in foster care in New York City are pregnant or are already mothers…” When a teenage girl gets pregnant, there is always a complex set of issues and challenges that she will face: whether or not she will continue the pregnancy, what medical services are available to her if she decides to have the child, what abortion services are available to her if she does not, who will retain custody of the baby, whether she will give the baby up for adoption. For a pregnant teen in foster care, these issues are amplified by the child welfare system, where there are many more actors in play than just the pregnant girl, her parents, and the father of her child. The foster parents, the biological parents, and the state each play a substantial role in determining how the pregnant foster girl manages her pregnancy and the resources available to her, yet at the same time, the existing legislation and policies guiding these actors are inadequate for addressing her needs and often hinder her ability to exercise her rights.

description: Even the most casual observer of the debate in the United States whether to legalize same- sex marriage would be hard-pressed to ignore the significance of religion to that debate. Most obviously, a number of religious groups officially oppose or support same-sex marriage. The Catholic Church, American Baptist Churches, Southern Baptist Convention, Islam, Orthodox Judaism, Mormon Church, and National Association of Evangelicals are among the groups expressly in opposition, while the United Church of Christ, Reform Judaism, and Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations are among those expressly in support. Moreover, the various groups on record in opposition or support generally have not been bashful about injecting themselves into the political fray and lobbying forcefully for the outcome that they see as right.

description: Using the Tibet-III air shower array, we search for TeV gamma-rays from 27 potential Galactic sources in the early list of bright sources obtained by the Fermi Large Area Telescope at energies above 100 MeV. Among them, we observe 7 sources instead of the expected 0.61 sources at a significance of 2 sigma or more excess. The chance probability from Poisson statistics would be estimated to be 3.8 x 10^-6. If the excess distribution observed by the Tibet-III array has a density gradient toward the Galactic plane, the expected number of sources may be enhanced in chance association. Then, the chance probability rises slightly, to 1.2 x 10^-5, based on a simple Monte Carlo simulation. These low chance probabilities clearly show that the Fermi bright Galactic sources have statistically significant correlations with TeV gamma-ray excesses. We also find that all 7 sources are associated with pulsars, and 6 of them are coincident with sources detected by the Milagro experiment at a significance of 3 sigma or more at the representative energy of 35 TeV. The significance maps observed by the Tibet-III air shower array around the Fermi sources, which are coincident with the Milagro >=3sigma sources, are consistent with the Milagro observations. This is the first result of the northern sky survey of the Fermi bright Galactic sources in the TeV region.

description: Relic density calculations are often used to constrain particle physics models, and in particular supersymmetry. We will show that the presence of additional energy or entropy before the Big-Bang nucleosynthesis can however completely change the relic density constraints on the SUSY parameter space. Therefore one should be extremely careful when using the relic density to constrain supersymmetry as it could give misleading results, especially if combined with the future collider data. Alternatively, we will also show that combining the discoveries of the future colliders with relic density calculations can shed light on the inaccessible pre-BBN dark time physics. Finally we will present SuperIso Relic, a new relic density calculator code in Supersymmetry, which incorporates alternative cosmological models, and is publicly available.

Inequitable Administration: Documenting Family for Tax Purposes
Creators: name: Infanti, Anthony C.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law

description: Family can bring us joy, and it can bring us grief. It can also bring us tax benefits and tax detriments. Often, as a means of ensuring compliance with Internal Revenue Code provisions that turn on a family relationship, taxpayers are required to document their relationship with a family member. Most visibly, taxpayers are denied an additional personal exemption for a child or other dependent unless they furnish the individual’s name, Social Security number, and relationship to the taxpayer. In this article, I undertake the first systematic examination of these documentation requirements. Given the privileging of the “traditional” family throughout the Code, one might expect to see that same privileging mirrored in the administrative structure that underpins the Code’s family tax provisions. Indeed, on their very face, the information-reporting rules that apply to jointly owned income-producing property do just that. Once the inquiry is expanded to cover other family tax provisions, however, it quickly becomes clear that the administrative structure underpinning the family tax provisions has also been strongly influenced by endemic privilegings along a variety of other axes of subordination—from class to race to gender to sexual orientation. To address and remedy these defects in the administrative structure underpinning the family tax provisions, this article advocates an approach to documenting family for tax purposes that does not invidiously discriminate among taxpayers.

description: The decays of narrow light vector mesons into pseudoscalar mesons and dileptons are calculated to leading order in a recently proposed scheme which treats pseudoscalar and vector mesons on equal footing. Since all required parameters have been determined by other reactions the presented approach gains predictive power for the considered processes. The decay of the $ω$-meson into pion and dimuon agrees reasonably well with the available experimental data concerning form factor, single-differential decay width and partial decay width. As well do the partial decay width of the $ω$-meson into a pion and a dielectron and of the $ϕ$-meson into an $η$-meson and a dielectron. The decay properties of the $ω$-meson into $η$-meson and dimuon or dielectron and of the $ϕ$-meson into $η$-meson and dimuon are predicted.

Things Little Girls Have No Business to Know Anything about: The Crimes of Aurora Floyd
Creators: name: Ward, Ian
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2011

description: The case of Aurora Floyd horrified mid-Victorian England. It is true that her fate evinced sympathy too, but the horror was the greater. We would not be so horrified today, though the offence she committed remains proscribed in English criminal law. Aurora Floyd was a bigamist; her crime, and even more so her sin, was to have two husbands living concurrently. And newspaper editors knew then, as they know today, that the English-reading public likes nothing better than to speculate on a spot of sex and crime over the breakfast table. Aurora was pretty too, and had married fortunately, or at least she had the second time. Her husband was a stolid member of the landed Yorkshire aristocracy. The story of Aurora Floyd came to the attention of mid-Victorian middle England over the winter of 1862, as the nation struggled to come to terms with the murderous bigamy of Lucy Audley, discovered the year before. Aurora and Lucy had something else in common too, aside from their shared criminality. They were fictive, the eponymous heroines of the two “sensation” novels with which Mary Elizabeth Braddon had taken literary England by storm in the first years of the 1860s. The fact that Aurora and Lucy were fictional did not, of course, lessen the threat that many perceived in their creation. On the contrary, it made their crimes all the greater. The case of Lucy Audley has long attracted critical commentary; Lady Audley’s Secret is still recognised as the one of the canons of mid-Victorian fiction, more particularly still mid-Victorian “sensation” fiction. Literary history has not been so kind to Aurora Floyd, which has in comparison, largely evaded critical attention during the last century and a half.I The purpose of this article is to revisit Aurora Floyd, and more particularly the crimes of its protagonist, as an exercise in legal and literary history.

description: In this article, a general problem of sequential statistical inference for general discrete-time stochastic processes is considered. The problem is to minimize an average sample number given that Bayesian risk due to incorrect decision does not exceed some given bound. We characterize the form of optimal sequential stopping rules in this problem. In particular, we have a characterization of the form of optimal sequential decision procedures when the Bayesian risk includes both the loss due to incorrect decision and the cost of observations.

Gay Fathers: Disrupting Sex Stereotyping and Challenging the Father-Promotion Crusade
Creators: name: Meyer, Erin Marie
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2011

description: This Article addresses the problematic perpetuation of sex- stereotyped parenting roles by courts, commentators, and politicians to whom this Article will refer as the “father- promotion crusaders.” These crusaders assert that “children need a father” and proceed to support this claim by defining “father” in various ways, all of which rely upon sex stereotypes. The promotion of sex stereotyping in the realm of parenting stands in con trast to an anti-sex-stereotyping norm that has begun to take hold in the realm of employment since 1989, the year in which the Supreme Court recognized sex stereotyping in the workplace as a form of sex discrimination in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins. In that case, the Supreme Court acknowledged that “an employer who acts on the basis of a belief that a woman cannot be aggressive, or that she must not be, has acted on the basis of gender. The Court held that a female employee who failed to receive. a promotion to partnership in her accounting firm because she did not conform to female sex stereotypes could bring a sex discrimination claim under Title VII. A plurality of the Court explained that sex stereotyping in the workplace is of legal relevance because: “[W]e are beyond the day when an employer could evaluate employees by assuming or insisting that they matched the stereotype associated with their group, for in forbidding employers to discriminate against individuals because of their sex, Congress intended to strike at the entire spectrum of disparate treatment of men and women resulting from sex stereotypes.”

description: The Hubbard model in the limit of infinite $U$ is investigated within a projected slave fermion representation and following a previous work of the author and collaborators \cite{BFK}. The stability of the Nagaoka's phase with respect to a non vanishing concentration of holes ($δ_h$) is analyzed by envisaging the existence of a spin effective action for itinerant magnetism of the Hubbard model. It is considered that,as the hole doping increases away from the half filled insulating limit, free holes are expected to be more delocalized. Depending on treatment for the hopping: a ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic ordering might arise and the Nagaoka's phase might have some stability with respect to $δ_h \neq 0$.

Generalized Holographic and Ricci Dark Energy Models

description: In this paper, we consider generalized holographic and Ricci dark energy models where the energy densities are given as $ρ_{R}=3c^2M^{2}_{pl}Rf(H^2/R)$ and $ρ_{h}=3c^2M^{2}_{pl}H^2g(R/H^2)$ respectively, here $f(x),g(y)$ are positive defined functions of dimensionless variables $H^2/R$ or $R/H^2$. It is interesting that holographic and Ricci dark energy densities are recovered or recovered interchangeably when the function $f(x)=g(y)\equiv 1$ or$f=g\equiv Id$ is taken respectively (for example $f(x),g(x)=1-ε(1-x)$, $ε=0 \text{or} 1$ respectively). Also, when $f(x)\equiv xg(1/x)$ is taken, the Ricci and holographic dark energy models are equivalents to a generalized one. When the simple forms $f(x)=1-ε(1-x)$ and $g(y)=1-η(1-y)$ are taken as examples, by using current cosmic observational data, generalized dark energy models are researched. As expected, in these cases, the results show that they are equivalent ($ε=1-η=1.312$) and Ricci-like dark energy is more favored relative to the holographic one where the Hubble horizon was taken as an IR cut-off. And, the suggestive combination of holographic and Ricci dark energy components would be $1.312 R-0.312H^2$ which is $2.312H^2+1.312\dot{H}$ in terms of $H^2$ and $\dot{H}$.

title: Depression in adolescence: requesting and receiving treatment in secondary school.
Creators: name: Lewis-Smith, Iona
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2021

description: Around 2.6% of adolescents are clinically depressed and around 1 in 4 adolescents experience substantial symptoms of depression at any given time (Polanczyk, Salum, Sugaya, Caye, & Rohde, 2015; Patalay & Gage, 2019). Timely access to treatment for adolescent depression is important in order to minimise the risks of harm, such as self-injury (Barrocas, Giletta, Hankin, Prinstein, & Abela, 2015) and suicide (Nrugham, Larsson, & Sund, 2008). However, the majority of children and adolescents with depression do not receive support from mental health services (Wu et al., 2001). This thesis explored the identification and treatment of adolescents experiencing symptoms of depression at school using quantitative and qualitative research methods. This thesis is comprised of three research papers which aimed to: a) investigate using one screening question, ‘would you like some help?’, to increase depressed secondary school students’ access to mental health services; b) explore adolescents’ experiences of values, which can inform their use in psychological therapies; and c) explore adolescents’ experiences of the helpful and unhelpful aspects of Brief Behavioural Activation for depression at school. The findings of the research presented in this thesis highlight the practicality of school as a setting for the identification and treatment of adolescents experiencing depression symptoms, in addition to providing evidence of the helpfulness and importance of adolescents’ values in the context of normal development and in the context of psychological therapy for depression.
