title: The pressure of parenting - does it predict attachment? : a study of the contribution of maternal parenting stress and family functioning to infant attachment
Creators: name: Ward, Nicola
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: Objective: To investigate whether maternal levels of parenting stress and maternal report of family functioning measured during an infant's first year predict infant attachment in the second year. Previous studies have demonstrated a concurrent relationship between these two factors and infant attachment, but not a predictive one. Design: Prospective. Method: Participants were 104 mothers and their 17-month old infants who were already part of a large prospective study of normal infants. Demographic information was collected when the infants were 3 months old. The Parenting Stress Index (Short Form) and the General Functioning Scale of the Family Assessment Device were completed by the mother at 10 months. At 17 months the mother and her infant took part in the Strange Situation procedure to assess attachment. Results: Neither parenting stress nor family functioning predicted attachment when the data from the whole sample were analysed. However, in a subgroup of mothers reporting high parenting stress, higher levels of parenting stress predicted an ambivalent infant attachment. In addition, poor family functioning also predicted an ambivalent attachment in a subgroup of mothers scoring at or above the clinical cut-off for family functioning. Conclusions: Mothers in this study did not find parenting very stressful - this may explain the failure to confirm the hypotheses in the full sample. The fact that, above a certain threshold, parenting stress did affect later infant attachment indicates that different processes may operate in mothers with high and low levels of parenting stress.

description: We have constructed a lattice Wigner-Weyl code that generalizes the Buot-Jensen algorithm to the calculation of electron transport in two-dimensional circular-cylindrically symmetric structures, where the Wigner function equation is solved self-consistently with the Poisson equation. Almost all of the numerical simulations to date have dealt with the restriction of the problem to one dimensional transport. In real devices, electrons are not confined to a single dimension and the coulombic potential is fully present and felt in three dimensions. We show the derivation of the 2D equation in cylindrical coordinates as well as approximations employed in the calculation of the four-dimensional convolution integral of the Wigner function and the potential. We work under the assumption that longitudinal transport is more dominant than radial transport and employ parallel processing techniques. The total transport is calculated in two steps: (1) transport the particles in the longitudinal direction in each shell separately, then (2) each shell exchanges particles with its nearest neighbor. Most of this work is concerned with the former step: A 1D space and 2D momentum transport problem. Time evolution simulations based on these method are presented for three different cases. Each case lead to numerical results consistent with expectations. Discussions of future improvements are discussed.

description: The magnetic field (H) - temperature (T) phase diagram of a superconductor is significantly altered when domains are present in an underlying ferromagnet with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. When the domains have a band-like shape, the critical temperature Tc of the superconductor in zero field is strongly reduced, and the slope of the upper critical field as a function of T is increased by a factor of 2.4 due to the inhomogeneous stray fields of the domains. Field compensation effects can cause an asymmetric phase boundary with respect to H when the ferromagnet contains bubble domains. For a very inhomogeneous domain structure, Tc~H^2 for low H and Tc~H for higher fields, indicating a dimensional crossover from a one-dimensional network-like to a two-dimensional behavior in the nucleation of superconductivity.

description: We calculate statistical properties of the eigenfunctions of two quantum systems that exhibit intermediate spectral statistics: star graphs and Seba billiards. First, we show that these eigenfunctions are not quantum ergodic, and calculate the corresponding limit distribution. Second, we find that they can be strongly scarred by short periodic orbits, and construct sequences of states which have such a limit. Our results are illustrated by numerical computations.

description: Sachaufgaben gelten in der Schulmathematik sowohl für Lehrpersonen als auch für Schüler und Schülerinnen als ein schwieriges Thema. Insbesondere bei lernschwachen SuS machen sich die komplexen Anforderungen nicht selten in emotionalen Blockaden bemerkbar. Konstruktivistisch geprägte Methoden und Lehrmittel wie etwa das Oberstufenlehrmittel des Kantons Zürich scheinen in dieser Hinsicht nicht hilfreich zu sein. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird auf dem Hintergrund der pädagogischen Aktionsforschung und in Anlehnung an eine sozial-konstruktivistische Handlungsdidaktik der Versuch unternommen, das Thema mittels adaptiver Instruktion, die sich am Individuum und dessen Kompetenzen orientiert, durchzuführen. Dabei sollen die Unterrichtsmaterialien binnendifferenziert, sprachsensibel und so einfach strukturiert sein, dass sie «gehirngerecht» das Arbeitsgedächtnis der SuS nicht überfordern und damit ein nachhaltiges Lernen ermöglichen. Die Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse aus der Praxis bestätigen diesen Ansatz, und Reflexionen zum theoretischen Hintergrund erweitern die Denkfigur des didaktischen Dreiecks im Rahmen einer «kognitiven Meisterlehre» zu einem Modell der triadischen Interaktion.

description: This study examined consumer attitudes towards attributes in food and beverages in China, India, Indonesia, Japan and the UK. The attributes are basic attributes such as price and quality, but also included food safety, health benefits, environmental and social attributes. The importance of factors affecting key attributes were examined in more detail. The study used a web-based survey with 1,000 middle and upper income consumers in each country. In addition, the potential economic impact of agricultural returns of different levels of premiums for food attributes in New Zealand were examined using the partial equilibrium Lincoln Trade and Environment Model (LTEM). This study found that consumers from developing countries valued food attributes more than the developed countries. Trade model projections showed an important impact on the agricultural sectors in New Zealand from the different levels of premiums for food attributes in selected overseas markets.

description: Dragonfly nymphs breathe water using tidal ventilation, a highly unusual strategy in water-breathing animals due to the high viscosity, density and low oxygen (O2) concentration of water. This study examines how well these insects extract O2 from the surrounding water during progressive hypoxia. Nymphs were attached to a custom-designed respiro-spirometer to simultaneously measure tidal volume, ventilation frequency and metabolic rate. Oxygen extraction efficiencies (OEE) were calculated across four PO2 treatments, from normoxia to severe hypoxia. While there was no significant change in tidal volume, ventilation frequency increased significantly from 9.4 ± 1.2 BPM at 21.3 kPa to 35.6 ± 2.9 BPM at 5.3 kPa. Metabolic rate increased significantly from 1.4 ± 0.3 µl O2 min−1 at 21.3 kPa to 2.1 ± 0.4 µl O2 min−1 at 16.0 kPa, but then returned to normoxic levels as O2 levels declined further. OEE of nymphs was 40.1 ± 6.1% at 21.3 kPa, and did not change significantly during hypoxia. Comparison to literature shows that nymphs maintain their OEE during hypoxia unlike other aquatic tidal breathers and some unidirectional breathers. This result, and numerical models simulating experimental conditions, indicate that nymphs maintain these extraction efficiencies by increasing gill conductance and /or lowering internal PO2 to maintain a sufficient diffusion gradient across their respiratory surface.

description: Defect energy formation, lattice distortions and electronic structure of cubic In2O3 with Sn, Ga and O impurities were theoretically investigated using density functional theory. Different types of point defects, consisting of 1 to 4 atoms of Sn, Ga and O in both substitutional and interstitial (structural vacancy) positions, were examined. It was demonstrated, that formation of substitutional Ga and Sn defects are spontaneous, while formation of interstitial defects requires an activation energy. The donor-like behavior of interstitial Ga defects with splitting of conduction band into two subbands with light and heavy electrons, respectively, was revealed. Contrarily, interstitial O defects demonstrate acceptor-like behavior with the formation of acceptor levels or subbands inside the band gap. The obtained results are important for an accurate description of transport phenomena in In2O3 with substitutional and interstitial defects.

Year: 2002

description: Objectives: To (i) assess the psychosocial functioning and adjustment of partners to living with someone with chronic pain, and (ii) investigate the relationship between illness perceptions, psychosocial adjustment and coping in chropic pain partners. Design: A cross-sectional survey and interview design. Method: Thirty-five partners of chronic pain patients completed the revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R), the Psychological Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS-SR), the COPE, the physical functioning scale of the SF-36 and the somatic subscale of the GHQ-28. Ten partners also took part in semi-structured interviews. Stepwise multiple regression analyses were used to examine whether partners' illness representations explained more of the variance in their psychosocial adjustment and coping than demographic and disease variables. Interview data was analysed using grounded theory. Results: Results indicated that living with someone with chronic pain impacted significantly on partners' emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, occupation and social activities. Partners' illness representations significantly predicted their psychosocial adjustment and coping behaviours. Partners interviewed gave detailed accounts of their experiences of living with someone with chronic pain, how it impacted on their lives and how they coped. Conclusions: This study highlights the impact of chronic pain on partners, who are often much neglected by services. Despite study limitations, an exploration of the relationship between partners' illness perceptions, coping and psychosocial functioning suggests important new ways of working with chronic pain partners. Important clinical and theoretical implications are discussed. Further work is needed however to better understand the complexities underpinning illness representations and the impact of chronic pain on partners.

description: The 1973 North Carolina General Assembly enacted legislation providing for differential assessment of qualifying agricultural, horticultural, and forestry lands on the basis of use value rather than market value. This study examines the 1976 results and impacts of this legislation in Wake and Wilson counties. Wake County approved more applications for use-value taxation than any other North Carolina county, 4,095; Wilson had 31. Data were obtained from the tax office of each county on the land-use schedule and the basic characteristics of the lands under use-value taxation. The use-value appraisal of the land only was twice as high in Wilson than in Wake County ($633 vs. $316 per acre). Use-value differences were attributed to differences both in appraisal procedures and in soil productivity.

description: Apple storage in North Carolina is one way of extending the fresh apple market sales period. Some apple packers have already invested in facilities; others are considering the possibilities. The purpose of this study is to provide cost and return estimates associated with predetermined sizes of cold storage tmits. Four units of 50, 100, 150, and 200 thousand bushel capacities were selected. An economicengineering procedure was used to analyze data collected from current storage operators, building contractors and equipment dealers. Construction of these units was designed to handle 18-bushel bin boxes. Materials include a concrete slab floor, steel metal exterior and urethane insulation. Refrigeration equipment was designed with capacity to reduce field heat of apples to 32 degrees within 48 hours. Total annual costs per bushel capacity ranged from $1.03 for the smallest unit to 92 cents for the largest unit. Annual operating costs amount to about 27 cents per bushel capacity for all four units. Annual overhead costs ranged from 76 cents per bushel capacity for a 50,000 bushel unit to 65 cents per bushel capacity for a 200,000 bushel unit. A stock turnover of twice a season reduced the annual total costs by almost 45 percent. The expected profitability of long-run storage was evaluated by comparing relative prices. Pricing conditions in the past have been more favorable for storage if apples were stored in the latter half of the harvest period. But apple quality and length of shelf life become important considerations.

description: The Nigerian poultry sub-sector is experiencing rapid growth and transformation. This is linked to the transformation of diets as incomes and urbanization increase. Poultry is both a protein and income source for many households and the poultry subsector in Nigeria is quite complex. This complexity has several dimensions. First, there is a plethora of segments of the supply chain from inputs to consumers (from upstream to downstream, there are the segments of maize and other ingredient farmers, feed mills, hatcheries of day-old-chicks, the poultry farmers, poultry wholesalers, processors, and retailers). Second, there is a multiplicity of scales of the firms and farms in those segments – small, medium, and large. Third, there are several crucial socioeconomic characteristics of the people managing and working for the farms and firms – the gender and age of actors. Fourth, there is great range and variation in the spatiality of the poultry and egg system, as the above segments span the zones of Nigeria, such as eggs being moved from farmers in the South to retailers in the North, maize from farmers in the north to feed mills in the South, spent layers from farmers in the Southwest to processors in the East, and so on. These four dimensions have significant implications for the dynamics and sustained growth of the subsector (LiverpoolTasie et al., 2016).

description: In a Euclidean space functional integral treatment of the free energy of QCD, a chemical potential enters only through the functional determinant of the Dirac operator which for any flavor is $\dslash + m - μ_f γ_0$ (where $μ_f$ is the chemical potential for the given flavor). Any nonzero $μ$ alters all of the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator relative to the $μ=0$ value, leading to a naive expectation that the determinant is altered and which thereby alters the free energy. Phenomenologically, this does not occur at T=0 for sufficiently small $μ$, in contradiction to this naive expectation. The problem of how to understand this phenomenological behavior in terms functional integrals is solved for the case of an isospin chemical through the study of the spectrum of the operator $γ_0 (\dslash + m)$.

description: Insect control practices on North Carolina cotton farms in 1976 were investigated as a basis for estimating the costs and returns to a federally sponsored boll weevil eradication program. The mean number of insecticide applications was 10.9, but most were not directed at boll weevils as a primary target. Comparisons on insecticide use, use of field scouting and other practices are compared for two areas of the state, two farm sizes, counties, and those farmers in and not in spray cooperatives. More years of data are needed for a more complete estimate of the advantages of eradication.

description: Social media platforms attempting to curb abuse and misinformation have been accused of political bias. We deploy neutral social bots who start following different news sources on Twitter, and track them to probe distinct biases emerging from platform mechanisms versus user interactions. We find no strong or consistent evidence of political bias in the news feed. Despite this, the news and information to which U.S. Twitter users are exposed depend strongly on the political leaning of their early connections. The interactions of conservative accounts are skewed toward the right, whereas liberal accounts are exposed to moderate content shifting their experience toward the political center. Partisan accounts, especially conservative ones, tend to receive more followers and follow more automated accounts. Conservative accounts also find themselves in denser communities and are exposed to more low-credibility content.

description: The Bjerkreim-Sokndal (BKS) is a layered intrusion, located in the Mid- Proterozoic Egersund anorthosite-norite province within the Sveconorwegian province of the Baltic Shield, south Norway. The layered intrusion formed by influxes of more primitive magma into more evolved magma to produce six Megacyclic units (MCU), each of which can be divided into up to six subunits. From bottom to top in each megacycle the rocks consist of early plagioclase-rich norites, intermediate hemo-ilmenite-rich norites and later magnetite-rich norites. Aeromagnetic maps over the intrusion show large negative and positive anomalies. A negative anomaly with amplitude to - 13000 nT at 60m above ground is associated with hemo-ilmenite-rich norite layer MCU Ive. This layer IVe contains plagioclase, orthopyroxene, hemoilmenite, magnetite, and minor clinopyroxene, biotite, apatite and sulfides. Multi-domain (MD) magnetite makes up 2–3% of the rock. The negative magnetic anomaly associated with MCU IVe reaches its most negative value on the east limb of the Bjerkreim Lobe near Heskestad. The anomaly at Heskestad is part of a longer negative anomaly, which follows MCU IVe for more than 20 km around a large syncline. The average NRM intensity decreases from 25AM−1 along the east fold limb to 10AM−1 towards the hinge area to 7AM−1 at the hinge. The BKS has a penetrative deformation fabric within the syncline with the weakest deformation found in the hinge area and the strongest on the east limb. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to determine the lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) of orthopyroxene and ilmenite. The (100)-planes of the orthopyroxenes are found to lie parallel to a foliation in the rock, which is subparallel to the cumulate layering. Orthopyroxene c-axes form the steep lineation within the foliation plane. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) was measured for samples that were taken at five locations from the eastern limb to the hinge area of the syncline to investigate if the change in NRM intensity could be related to magnetic fabric.

Creators: name: Vanderplank, R. J. R.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: The longevity and long-term storage of Passiflora seed are investigated. Dehydrated seed were stored at temperatures from 30°C to -196°C for periods of up to five and a half years. It was determined that seed from most species should be treated as semiorthodox for seed storage purposes, but seed from species in the section Quadrangularis should be treated as semi-recalcitrant. High temperatures during fruit maturation of P. subpeltata were shown to induce seed coat-imposed dormancy. The presence of seed coat-imposed dormancy was confirmed in seed of two other Passiflora species. Prolonged periods of seed washing in tepid water were shown to be successful in breaking seed coat-imposed dormancy. Factors influencing the successful germination of quiescent Passiflora seed were investigated. The seed coat morphology of Passiflora species produced by interspecific hybridisation was found to be in keeping with the variations found in seed produced by intra-specific hybridisation. The seed coat morphology of Passiflora cultivars was found to be an intermediary of the seed coat morphology of their parents. A new classification of the genus Passiflora using only the morphological features of their seed is presented using seed from 360 accessions. The results of this study support the karyotypic evidence of x = 6 and x = 9 and otherwise shadow the conventional taxonomic classification of Passiflora, with the exception of species in the subgenus Astrophea and sections Quadrangularis, Serratifolia, Passiflora, and Tiliifolia in the subgenus Passiflora. The seed coat morphology of Passiflora species is compared with that of Adenia species and the probability of parallel evolution of Passiflora from several ancient archetypal Adenia species is proposed. Aspects of the sociology and ecology of Passiflora species are presented. Evidence of insect and plant mimicry is demonstrated. Detailed descriptions of new Passiflora species and subspecies are presented.

description: This report documents the costs of producing ethanol from five small on-farm distilleries and compares the production costs with the value of ethanol when used as a motor fuel. Important factors useful in planning a fann distillery are discussed in the first section of the report. These include the availability and cost of utilizing various sources of feedstock and a comparison of various fuel input costs. Also, values are imputed for hydrous ethanol and stillage used on the farm. In the second section, production costs for five model distilleries, producing 190 proof ethanol and ranging in output from 840 gpy (gallons per year) to 201,600 gpy, are derived using a base set of input prices. The costs indicate that there are significant economies of scale in the production of ethanol within a range of small scale distillery outputs. In the third section, a breakeven analysis is used to evaluate the profitability of each distillery. Using the base input prices, the ethanol breakeven values for each model distillery, listed in order of increasing distillery capacity, in dollars per gallon, are: $3.84, $2.34, $2.64, $2.16 and $1.99. Since gasoline is currently selling at $1.25/gal. and gasoline as a fuel has a higher value than does ethanol, none of the model distilleries represent a profitable investment. The sensitivity of the breakeven values to various combinations of discount rates and corn prices is also given in this section. Even with a discount rate of 8 percent and a corn cost of $1EQ'bushel, none of the distilleries represent a profitable investment. Other studies have suggested that there are economies of scale even within the large industrial distillery output range (10-lOOmillion gpy). If these economies of scale do exist, it is unlikely that future small fann ethanol production will become profitable as gasoline prices and ethanol prices increase. Increased competition for distillery inputs (particularly grain) will favor the existence of the larger, more efficient industrial distilleries rather than the smaller, less efficient distilleries.

The spectrum of the cubic compound is characterized by weak and broad bands in agreement with group-theory which predicts no Raman-active phonons for this compound. On the other hand, the spectrum of the hexagonal compound shows six narrow peaks ascribed to one-phonon processes. A complete polarization analysis of the spectra collected from a single crystallite allows us to completely assign the symmetries of the six observed peaks. Atomic displacements for each phonon peaks are also proposed.

description: Mixed pairing in ultracold Fermi gases can give rise to interesting many-body phases, such as topological nontrivial superfluids that support Majorana zero modes (MZMs) with various spatial configurations. Unfortunately, in ordinary lattice systems, the topological phase and the associated MZMs are suppressed by the dominant $s$-wave pairing. Here we present a proposal for engineering effective Hamiltonians with tunable mixed on- and off-site pairing based on driven optical lattices. The on- and off-site pairing can be changed independently by means of a periodical driving field rather than magnetic Feshbach resonances. It paves the way for suppressing the dominant on-site interaction that frustrates the emergence of topological superfluids and for synthesizing MZMs localized in edges or corners.

description: In this paper we introduce the area of 2-ruled 4-folds in R^n (n=7 or 8), that is, submanifolds M of R^n that admit a fibration over some 2-fold Sigma such that each fibre is an affine 2-plane in R^n. This is motivated by the paper math.DG/0012060 by Joyce on ruled special Lagrangian 3-folds in C^3 and the work of the author in math.DG/0401123 on ruled associative 3-folds in R^7. We say that a 2-ruled 4-fold M is r-framed if we are given an oriented basis for each fibre in a smooth manner, and in such circumstances we may write M in terms of orthogonal smooth maps phi_1,phi_2:Sigma-->S^(n-1) and a smooth map psi:Sigma-->R^n. We focus on 2-ruled Cayley 4-folds since coassociative and special Lagrangian 4-folds can be considered as special cases. The main result is on non-planar, r-framed, 2-ruled Cayley 4-folds in R^8, which characterises the Cayley condition in terms of a coupled system of nonlinear, first-order, partial differential equations that phi_1 and phi_2 satisfy, and another such equation on psi which is linear in psi. We deduce that, for a fixed non-planar, r-framed, 2-ruled Cayley cone M_0, the space of r-framed 2-ruled Cayley 4-folds M which have asymptotic cone M_0 has the structure of a vector space. We give a means of constructing 2-ruled Cayley 4-folds M starting from a 2-ruled Cayley cone M_0, satisfying a certain condition, using holomorphic vector fields such that M_0 is the asymptotic cone of M. We use this to construct explicit examples of U(1)-invariant 2-ruled Cayley 4-folds asymptotic to a U(1)^3-invariant 2-ruled Cayley cone. Examples are also given based on ruled calibrated 3-folds in C^3 and R^7 and complex cones in C^4.

description: This paper examines pesticide1 markets and regulations in Mali. As a founding member of CILSS2, Mali has committed to establish national regulatory institutions necessary to implement the common pesticide regulations in force throughout the CILSS region. This study explores progress to date in Mali’s country-level implementation of these mutually agreed-upon regional pesticide policies. As part of a seven-country set of comparative case studies, this work collectively aims to explore the reasons for uneven rates of country implementation of regional agricultural input policies.

Feldspar deformation in greenschist facies shear zones (Aar-Massif, Switzerland)
Creators: name: Hauten, Sarah

Publisher: name: Universitätsverlag Göttingen

description: Granitic gneisses of the Central Aar Granite host a shear zone network that formed at greenschist facies conditions. The work area is located in the Bächlital (Grimsel area, Central Switzerland) and was chosen for the analysis of shear zones because of the weakly anisotropic fabric of the host gneisses. Contrary to previous publications (e.g. Choukroune & Gapais, 1983), none of these host rocks are undeformed. They contain a penetrative foliation (S1) that strikes consistently ENE-WSW with a steep dip of around 70° to the south. This foliation is overprinted by the aforementioned shear zone network, which was the main focus of this study...

description: The LFI (Low Frequency Instrument) on board the ESA Planck satellite is constituted by an array of radiometric detectors actively cooled at 20 K in the 30-70 GHz frequency range in the focal plane of the Planck telescope. In this paper we present an overview of the LFI instrument, with a particular focus on the radiometer design. The adopted pseudo-correlation scheme uses a software balancing technique (with a tunable parameter called gain modulation factor) which is effective in reducing the radiometer susceptibility to amplifier instabilities also in presence of small non-idealities in the radiometric chain components, provided that the gain modulation factor is estimated with an accuracy of the order of 0.2%. These results have been recently confirmed by experimental laboratory measurements conducted on the LFI prototype radiometers at 30, 70 and 100 GHz.

description: This publication presents selected data from the 1978 ESCS Landownership Survey on the structure of agriculture in the United States, the South and North Carolina in cases where the pattern of landownership is closely intertwined with land use and land-use policy. Comparisons are made between geographical regions and major differences are noted. One of the most striking differences is the large percentage of farmland that is owned by nonfarmers in North Carolina and the South relative to the rest of the United States.

description: Among the many variants of RL, an important class of problems is where the state and action spaces are continuous -- autonomous robots, autonomous vehicles, optimal control are all examples of such problems that can lend themselves naturally to reinforcement based algorithms, and have continuous state and action spaces. In this paper, we introduce a prioritized form of a combination of state-of-the-art approaches such as Deep Q-learning (DQN) and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) to outperform the earlier results for continuous state and action space problems. Our experiments also involve the use of parameter noise during training resulting in more robust deep RL models outperforming the earlier results significantly. We believe these results are a valuable addition for continuous state and action space problems.

description: A major objective of FSP is to strengthen the policy systems at the national levels to respond to food security and nutrition challenges. Policy systems function well when all its stakeholders are empowered to actively participate in the policy process. The media as one of the key stakeholders and contributors of knowledge for policy debate and dialogue, plays a critical role in the policy process. Their role is not restricted to only helping to get issues on the policy agenda, they also play an important role throughout the entire policy process. The media can influence policy change through the way in which they frame certain issues. They can stimulate public demand for change. However, in order to influence policy change the media requires the capacity to critically report on policy issues.
