description: We have measured the pressure sensitivity of Tc in fluorinated HgBa2Ca2Cu3O(8+d) (Hg-1223) ceramic samples with different F contents, applying pressures up to 30 GPa. We obtained that Tc increases with increasing pressure, reaching different maximum values, depending on the F doping level, and decreases for a further increase of pressure. A new high Tc record (166 K +/- 1 K) was achieved by applying pressure (23 GPa) in a fluorinated Hg-1223 sample near the optimum doping level. Our results show that all our samples are at the optimal doping, and that fluorine incorporation decreases the crystallographic $a$-parameter concomitantly increasing the maximum attainable Tc. This effect reveals that the compression of the $a$ axes is one of the keys that controls the Tc of high temperature superconductors.

description: The authors raise an extremely important, yet controversial, issue concerning the future of the European Model of Agriculture (EMA) under the circumstances of increased level of globalisation’s impact on the economy. In various respects, the EU agriculture constitutes an exceptional subsystem, which has emerged as a result of implementing the Common Agricultural Policy. The study includes an analysis of the underlying features embedded in this model, significant for its competitiveness under globalisation conditions. The analysis also covers the consequences of globalisation, such as the necessity to verify the category of marginal conditions for conducting agricultural production, and the impact of globalisation on food security. As a final conclusion, the authors suggest a number of premises indicating that globalisation, without specific political and economic measures, may result in downgrading the EMA, which may lead to its rejection or decline, hence to the marginalisation of agriculture in the EU countries.

description: Critical properties of hulls of directed spiral percolation (DSP) clusters are studied on the square and triangular lattices in two dimensions (2D). The hull fractal dimension ($d_H$) and some of the critical exponents associated with different moments of the hull size distribution function of the anisotropic DSP clusters are reported here. The values of $d_H$ and other critical exponents are found the same within error bars on both the lattices. The universality of the hull's critical exponents then holds true between the square and triangular lattices in 2D unlike the cluster's critical exponents which exhibit a breakdown of universality. The hull fractal dimension $(d_H \approx 1.46)$ is also found close to 4/3 and away from 7/4, that of ordinary percolation cluster hull. A new conjecture is proposed for the hull fractal dimension ($d_H$) in terms of two connectivity length exponents ($ν_\|$ $&$ $ν_\perp$) of the anisotropic clusters generated here. The values of $d_H$ and other critical exponents obtained here are very close to that of the spiral percolation cluster hull. The hull properties of the DSP clusters are then mostly determined by the rotational constraint and almost independent on the directional constraint present in the model.

title: Low-Energy Dwelling Prototypes for Different Regions of Chile
Creators: name: Felmer, Gabriel
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: The central problem addressed by this research is the fuel poverty caused by the thermal inefficiency of new dwelling stocks in Chile. By performing simulations to investigate different design options, dwelling types, building materials and passive envelope techniques, this research demonstrates that acceptable indoor occupant thermal comfort conditions can be achieved in dwellings at low extra-capital and without recourse to conventional space-heating and cooling. The planned outcome of the study is a modular low-carbon prefabricated prototyping system that uses locally sourced timber materials for delivering naturally conditioned dwellings at different multi-unit configurations and scales and to a number of site locations nationwide.

description: Agricultural policy in Poland supports the functioning of numerous types of agricultural models, including the following models: traditional, industrial, environmental, induced development and sustainable growth. The CAP objectives and mechanisms, as well as individual characteristics of the Polish agriculture indicate that in the long run the development pattern should be based on a dual model. Certain farms, while maintaining the basic requirements of environmental protection, should implement production methods ensuring high economic viability (industrial agriculture); other farms should base their development on more eco-friendly methods, which enable the use of environmental, social and cultural assets at hand (sustainable agriculture). This paper defines the most important development stages of global agriculture, indicates the connection between the necessity of state’s intervention policy and sustainable development, presents selected characteristics of the Polish agriculture with an analysis of the most important effects of implementing the CAP and illustrates the conclusions concerning the shape of the future long-term agricultural policy in Poland.

description: Le concept de transition forestière permet d’appréhender les dynamiques d’évolution du couvert forestier d’un pays au cours de son développement économique. L’objectif de nos recherches est de montrer l’intérêt de ce concept pour analyser la déforestation cumulée sous deux aspects : en termes de déroulement du processus de déforestation via l’étude du moment où il prend fin dans une économie qui se développe ; en termes quantitatifs via l’étude de la surface totale de terres déboisées dans le pays au moment où la déforestation cesse. En outre, l’analyse empirique de la transition forestière permet de tirer d’importantes conclusions utiles aux décideurs publics, en particulier dans le domaine des politiques de lutte contre la déforestation. Le résultat de ces recherches montre que le développement économique des pays et l’amélioration de la qualité des institutions jouent un rôle crucial dans la déforestation à long terme. Nos résultats suggèrent également que, selon leur valeur, les usages des sols pour l’agriculture et la forêt ne sont pas toujours en concurrence. Ces résultats fournissent de nouvelles perspectives pour les politiques publiques telles que REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) et en particulier REDD+ dont le but est d’accroître les stocks de carbone forestier en revalorisant les forêts sur pied par rapport à l’agriculture.

description: We present a cluster algorithm for resistively shunted Josephson junctions and similar physical systems, which dramatically improves sampling efficiency. The algorithm combines local updates in Fourier space with rejection-free cluster updates which exploit the symmetries of the Josephson coupling energy. As an application, we consider the localization transition of a single junction at intermediate Josephson coupling and determine the temperature dependence of the zero bias resistance as a function of dissipation strength.

title: Policy and practice in multicultural and anti-racist education : A case study of a multi-ethnic comprehensive school
Creators: name: Foster, Peter Morris
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1989

description: This research follows work conducted by the Education team at the Centre for Research in Ethnic Relations at the University of Warwick into the development and implementation of Local Education Authority (L. E. A. ) policies on Multicutural and Anti-Racist Education. It consists of a detailed ethnographic case study of a multi-ethnic, inner-city comprehensive school which espoused a commitment to Multicultural and Anti- Racist Education, and concentrates on the school's efforts to put this commitment into practice.

 Initially the study provides an elaboration of the values underpinning Multicultural and Anti-Racist Education, most notably equal opportunities and education for a non-racist society, and a discussion of the implication of these values for school practice. This discussion provides a model with which the practices in the case study school are compared. A number of theoretical questions concerning the extent to which within-school processes contribute to reproduction of the social characteristics of modern society are also introduced. A detailed decription of the social context, structure and organisation of the school is presented and then the study facusses on the development of L. E. A. and school policies on Multicultural and Anti-Racist Education, teachers' interpretations of and responses to these policies, and the practice of Multicultural and Anti- Racist Education in the school, The study also examines the processes of differentiation and how they affected ethnic minority students. Finally it examines the strategies which many teachers adopted in order to 'survive' as teachers in what was a 'difficult' inner city school and the implications of these strategies for the educational opportunities available to the students who attended the school.

 The overall argument presented is that the teachers in the school had gone a considerable way towards developing Multicultural and Anti-Racist Education especially in curriculum terms, and had succeeded in creating a non-racist environment within the school. The study found that there were few practices which restricted the chances of educational success of ethnic minority students within the school. However, teachers were forced to adopt 'survival strategies' in order to cope in the classroom and school with students who were sometimes hostile and frequently indifferent to their schooling, and thus the quality of educational provision offered to the students was reduced. Such student attitudes, it is suggested, were derived from wider youth, class and ethnic sub-cultures generated outside the school in part by the structural features of contemporary society. The study concludes with a discussion of the implications of the research findings for school and L. E. A. policies on Multicultural and Anti- Racist Education and makes suggestions for further research.

description: ML models are increasingly deployed in settings with real world interactions such as vehicles, but unfortunately, these models can fail in systematic ways. To prevent errors, ML engineering teams monitor and continuously improve these models. We propose a new abstraction, model assertions, that adapts the classical use of program assertions as a way to monitor and improve ML models. Model assertions are arbitrary functions over a model's input and output that indicate when errors may be occurring, e.g., a function that triggers if an object rapidly changes its class in a video. We propose methods of using model assertions at all stages of ML system deployment, including runtime monitoring, validating labels, and continuously improving ML models. For runtime monitoring, we show that model assertions can find high confidence errors, where a model returns the wrong output with high confidence, which uncertainty-based monitoring techniques would not detect. For training, we propose two methods of using model assertions. First, we propose a bandit-based active learning algorithm that can sample from data flagged by assertions and show that it can reduce labeling costs by up to 40% over traditional uncertainty-based methods. Second, we propose an API for generating "consistency assertions" (e.g., the class change example) and weak labels for inputs where the consistency assertions fail, and show that these weak labels can improve relative model quality by up to 46%. We evaluate model assertions on four real-world tasks with video, LIDAR, and ECG data.

description: Nb/Cu superconducting superlattices have been fabricated by dc magnetron sputtering. This system shows a vortex glass transition with critical exponents similar to high temperatures superconductors exponents. The transition dymensionality is governed by the superconducting coupling regime. The vortex glass transition shows a pure two dimensional behavior in decoupled superlattices and a quasi-two dimensional behavior in the superlattice coupling regime.

description: On 2019 May 6, the Lunar Lander Neutron & Dosimetry (LND) Experiment on board the Chang'E-4 on the far-side of the Moon detected its first small solar energetic particle (SEP) event with proton energies up to 21MeV. Combined proton energy spectra are studied based on the LND, SOHO/EPHIN and ACE/EPAM measurements which show that LND could provide a complementary dataset from a special location on the Moon, contributing to our existing observations and understanding of space environment. Velocity dispersion analysis (VDA) has been applied to the impulsive electron event and weak proton enhancement and the results demonstrate that electrons are released only 22 minutes after the flare onset and $\sim$15 minutes after type II radio burst, while protons are released more than one hour after the electron release. The impulsive enhancement of the in-situ electrons and the derived early release time indicate a good magnetic connection between the source and Earth. However, stereoscopic remote-sensing observations from Earth and STA suggest that the SEPs are associated with an active region nearly 100$^\circ$ away from the magnetic footpoint of Earth. This suggests that the propagation of these SEPs could not follow a nominal Parker spiral under the ballistic mapping model and the release and propagation mechanism of electrons and protons are likely to differ significantly during this event.

description: Directed spiral percolation (DSP), percolation under both directional and rotational constraints, is studied on the triangular lattice in two dimensions (2D). The results are compared with that of the 2D square lattice. Clusters generated in this model are generally rarefied and have chiral dangling ends on both the square and triangular lattices. It is found that the clusters are more compact and less anisotropic on the triangular lattice than on the square lattice. The elongation of the clusters is in a different direction than the imposed directional constraint on both the lattices. The values of some of the critical exponents and fractal dimension are found considerably different on the two lattices. The DSP model then exhibits a breakdown of universality in 2D between the square and triangular lattices. The values of the critical exponents obtained for the triangular lattice are not only different from that of the square lattice but also different form other percolation models.

description: We propose a model of suppression of $π^0$'s based on two different effects: at low $p_T$ we take into account the shadowing corrections, which are non-linear and essential for the description of the inclusive spectra, while at large $p_T$ the suppression is produced through the interaction of the large $p_T$ pion with the dense medium created in the collision. The main features of the data on $AuAu$ and $dAu$ collisions at RHIC energies are reproduced both at mid and at forward rapidities.

description: We propose a class of theories that can limit scalars constructed from the extrinsic curvature. Applied to cosmology, this framework allows us to control not only the Hubble parameter but also anisotropies without the problem of Ostrogradsky ghost, which is in sharp contrast to the case of limiting spacetime curvature scalars. Our theory can be viewed as a generalization of mimetic and cuscuton theories (thus clarifying their relation), which are known to possess a structure that limits only the Hubble parameter on homogeneous and isotropic backgrounds. As an application of our framework, we construct a model where both anisotropies and the Hubble parameter are kept finite at any stage in the evolution of the universe in the diagonal Bianchi type I setup. The universe starts from a constant-anisotropy phase and recovers Einstein gravity at low energies. We also show that the cosmological solution is stable against a wide class of perturbation wavenumbers, though instabilities may remain for arbitrary initial conditions.

title: Marine Biodiversity of Antarctic Hard Rock Communities: Species Biomass and Energy Use
Creators: name: Souster, Terri A.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: This thesis presents the first seasonal study in the Antarctic of shallow water hard rock communities, including surveys to quantify biodiversity and biomass (Ash Free Dry Mass, AFDM). In addition temporal changes in biodiversity since 1998 were evaluated in the same location. To do this all benthic organisms greater than 3mm in size were collected at 6m, 12m and 20m depth from three transects near Rothera Point, Adelaide Island (67° 34’ S, 68° 07’ W) in the summer and winter of 2015. Organisms were identified and their wet, dry and ash free dry masses obtained. Benthic community structure did not vary seasonally, low metabolic costs due to slowed growth rates, reproduction, development with the ability to cease feeding for the winter months may explain the lack of change between season. Community structure did, however, vary with depth, which agrees with previous studies of shallow water Antarctic hard substratum communities. Comparisons between the 2015 and 1998 survey showed reductions of both biodiversity and organic biomass at all three depths over the intervening 17 years. The greatest change was at 12m where faunal density, diversity, richness and biomass all declined significantly between 1998 and 2015. Ice scour is thought to be the main driver of this change as previous studies have shown an increase in ice scour frequency around 10m depth.

The effects of seasonality on metabolism were also investigated using the five most common marine invertebrates and significant energy transformers Odontaster validus, Sterechinus neumayeri, Nacella concinna, Heterocucumis steineni and Ophionotus victoriae. Measurements of metabolic rates using closed circuit respirometry were carried out across a size range (juveniles to fully reproductive adults), to represent the population of five locally abundant species during the austral summer and winter. Oxygen consumption of Sterechinus neumayeri and Odontaster validus was significantly higher (by 39% & 44% respectively) in summer than winter. However, metabolic rates showed no consistent seasonal trends in Nacella concinna, and in Ophionotus victoriae and Heterocucumis IV steineni were higher in summer than winter, but only in large individuals which could be due to feeding and reproducing during the summer months. Seasonal metabolic changes were in line with previous studies on Antarctic marine invertebrates.

Having established the metabolic rates of these species, identifying how much organic carbon there is in each and what they eat (diet), it is possible to estimate the energy required within the ecosystem to meet their metabolic demands long term. Molecular methods were employed to advance our understanding of diet. Gut contents from the same five species were analysed using DNA extraction and molecular techniques. This project forms a baseline to understand future changes in Antarctic benthic biodiversity and to analyse energy flows in these communities.

description: Over the last 20 years knowledge has been of growing significance, hence, coining the term "knowledge economy". These past decades will prove to be of groundbreaking value for education and knowledge all around the globe. This thesis is aiming to discuss the challenges that the university systems in China and Europe face in the dawn of the knowledge economy. In order to get a proper understanding of the knowledge economy, the reader will first be introduced to relevant terminology. Next, an insight into the mathematic modelling in regards to the influence of higher education on economic growth is offered. Subsequently, the question of quality in higher education is introduced. The pertinence of rankings for yielding well-founded commensurability of universities is pointed out, before discussing the university systems of China and Europe, respectively. Thereupon, the issues of quality, equity, financing, and internationalization of higher education in China and Europe are raised. Furthermore, the resemblances of higher education in China and Europe are underlined by a number of tangible examples. To round off the results, various policy suggestions are proposed.

How people draw on spirituality and utilize counselling to create experiences of healing and wellness
Creators: name: Gockel, Annemarie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This narrative study explores the stories and experiences of people who draw on spirituality for healing and wellness. Twelve participants in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia were identified through the purposive sampling of educational and social networks. In order to qualify for the study, participants self-identified as drawing on spirituality for healing and wellness and as having received professional counselling services. Participants identified spirituality as integral to both their experiences of healing and to their experiences of facilitative counselling. In response to a broad variety of mental and physical health crises, participants developed a seven step process of spiritual exploration and development through which they created experiences of healing and wellness. This process includes: (1) openness, (2) shifting to a spiritual perspective, (3) going within, (4) connecting with spirit, (5) clearing, (6) setting a healing intention and (7) following one's inner guidance to healing and wellness. A minority of participants experienced counselling as lacking in spiritual integration and moved onto more spiritually focused practitioners or to other spiritually-based healing modalities. The majority of participants experienced counselling as a spiritual endeavor and identified the spiritually-infused counselling they experienced as an important part of their process of healing. Participants described spiritually-infused counselling as centred in the counsellor's ability to connect to the client on the level of soul and to demonstrate their own holistic development and personal healing in their approach to practice. This study demonstrates the importance of considering spirituality as a dimension of counselling practice.

ABSTRACT  

While many interventions teach digital literacy skills to build people’s resilience to misinformation, few are tested on let alone tailored to the unique experiences and needs of older adults, who are highly susceptible to misinformation. Moreover, methodological limitations of existing studies make it difficult to determine whether interventions’ effects are causal, durable, or generalizable. We will run an experiment (N = 1,600) evaluating the effectiveness of a digital media literacy intervention for older adults (MediaWise for Seniors) in a diverse sample. Pre- and post-intervention surveys will assess how the intervention affects participants’ (1) ability to identify true and false news, (2) intentions to share false news, and (3) comprehension of digital literacy concepts. We will examine the persistence of treatment effects by administering follow-up surveys one week after the intervention and complement our survey-based measures with behavioral measures of (mis)information consumption in participants’ web browsing data.

description: We present population-orbit superposition models for external galaxies based on Schwarzschild's orbit-superposition method, by tagging the orbits with age and metallicity. The models fit the density distributions, as well as kinematic, age and metallicity maps from Integral Field Unit (IFU) spectroscopy observations. We validate the method and demonstrate its power by applying it to mock data, similar to those obtained by the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) IFU on the Very Large Telescope (VLT). These mock data are created from Auriga galaxy simulations, viewed at three different inclination angles ($\vartheta=40^o, 60^o, 80^o$). Constrained by MUSE-like mock data, our model can recover the galaxy's stellar orbit distribution projected in orbital circularity $λ_z$ vs. radius $r$, the intrinsic stellar population distribution in age $t$ vs. metallicity $Z$, and the correlation between orbits' circularity $λ_z$ and stellar age $t$. A physically motivated age-metallicity relation improves recovering the intrinsic stellar population distributions. We decompose galaxies into cold, warm and hot + counter-rotating components based on their orbit circularity distribution, and find that the surface density, mean velocity, velocity dispersion, age and metallicity maps of each component from our models well reproduce those from simulation, especially for projections close to edge-on. These galaxies exhibit strong global age vs. $σ_z$ relation, which is well recovered by our model. The method has the power to reveal the detailed build-up of stellar structures in galaxies, and offers a complement to local resolved, and high-redshift studies of galaxy evolution.

 Kanada. USA: New Jersey. Virginia (HURD 1979: 2057). Droege setzt die Einschleppung ab 1930 an und nennt als neue Verbreitung bis zur Westküste, vor allem Kalifornien. Erstmals aber meldet COOPER (1984) M. apicalis von California, Santa Barbara County, eine kleine Serie von Aufsammlungen 1982 und 1983. Die Einschleppung muss schon vor 1926 geschehen sein wegen des Synonyms Megachile virginiana MITCHELL 1926.
 Erkennen der Art als holarktisch durch MITCHELL 1937, Trans. Amer. ent. Soc. 63: 417.
Ursprünglich in der südlichen Westpaläarktis verbreitet, von Portugal und Tunesien bis in den östlichen Iran. Vereinzelt in wärmeren Lagen Mitteleuropas, in Deutschland nördlich bis in das Dill-Gebiet, in Österreich im Pannonicum und in der Südsteiermark; eine erloschene Einschleppung in Kärnten, früherer Botanischer Garten Klagenfurt.

description: In the example of complex grassmannians, we demonstrate various techniques available for computing genus-0 K-theoretic GW-invariants of flag manifolds and more general quiver varieties. In particular, we address explicit reconstruction of all such invariants using finite-difference operators, the role of the q-hypergeometric series arising in the context of quasimap compactifications of spaces of rational curves in such varieties, the theory of twisted GW-invariants including level structures, as well as the Jackson-type integrals playing the role of equivariant K-theoretic mirrors.

description: Massive renormalizable Yang-Mills theories in three dimensions are analysed within the algebraic renormalization in the Landau gauge. In analogy with the four dimensional case, the renormalization of the mass operator A^2 turns out to be expressed in terms of the fields and coupling constant renormalization factors. We verify the relation we obtain for the operator anomalous dimension by explicit calculations in the large N_f. The generalization to other gauges such as the nonlinear Curci-Ferrari gauge is briefly outlined.

Abb. des ♀ bei WESTRICH 1989: 747, Abb. 17, 3, Seite 81.
 Von Massachusetts bis Virginia, nach Westen bis British Columbia, Washington, Oregon und California, eingeführt während oder nach dem 2. Weltkrieg, ebenfalls eingeführt in Argentinien und Chile (HURD 1979: 2057, noch unter dem Namen M. pacifica); durch das ganze Nordamerika bis in nördliche Mexico, ab 1920 (Droege).
 Deutlich andere Informationen zur Einschleppung als amerikanische Autoren geben DORN & WEBER 1988: 14-15; 22: "Mitte der 30er Jahre dieses Jahrhunderts gelangte M. rotundata auf unbekannte Weise nach Nordamerika. Erstmals wurde sie dort von MITCHELL (1937) in Rosemont, Virginia nachgewiesen. Später konnte sie dann auch in Washington D.C. (KROMBEIN 1948), Missouri, Kansas und Texas (DALY 1952) beob- achtet werden. Sich ständig westwärts ausbreitend, erreichte sie 1954 Utah und Kalifornien und 1958 Oregon an der Pazifik-Küste. Damit war die Luzerne-Blattschneiderbiene in einem Zeitraum von nur etwa 20 Jahren über den gesamten nordamerikanischen Kontinent von Osten nach Westen vorgedrungen. Während M. rotundata in ihrem ursprünglichen Verbreitungsgebiet überall unauffällig blieb, konnten sich in Nordamerika – vermutlich auf Grund des Fehlens ihrer natürlichen Feinde – in kurzer Zeit so starke Populationen entwickeln, dass sie in einigen Gebieten die dominierende Blattschneiderbiene wurde. Hinzu kam, dass die Biene in ihrer neuen Heimat bevorzugt Luzerne als Futterpflanze aufsuchte. Insbesondere im Nordwesten der USA, wo ein relativ hoher Anteil der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzfläche zur Produktion von Luzernesaatgut genutzt wurde, stand damit ein fast unbegrenztes Nahrungsangebot zur Verfügung. Diese ausgeprägte Luzerne-Präferenz ist sofern besonders bemerkenswert, da im mitteleuropäischen Raum derartige Beobachtungen nicht vorliegen. Im Ergebnis der Verschleppung nach Nordamerika entstand jedenfalls eine Wildbienenpopulation, die die günstigsten Voraussetzungen für eine wirtschaftliche Nutzung als Luzernebestäuber in sich barg.... Nach Neuseeland wurde 1971 die Luzerne-Blattschneiderbiene eingeführt.
 Neben der Honigbiene und der Erdhummel ist M. rotundata die wirtschaftlich bedeutendste Biene. Das ursprüngliche Verbreitungsgebiet ist nicht mehr genau definierbar, vermutlich aber der Mittelmeerraum bis in den Iran, vielleicht bis Zentralasien; in Europa nach Norden lokal bis ins südliche Finnland. Nach Osten bis zum Pazifik (Amur-Region und Primorskij-Region), aber unklar, inwieweit hier autochthon oder eingeführt.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The work is of a review character. The present paper aims to introduce basic definitions related to degradation and reclamation of the areas with lower use value, and also to present the most important species of perennial energy crops, which can be possibly used in the reclamation of degraded soils. Materials and methods: This work is based on collected information concerning soil degradation, perennial energy crops and their use in the reclamation. Results and conclusions: Characteristics of recommended species of perennial energy crops to a reclamation of degraded soils: willow, Virginia fanpetals, the Jerusalem artichoke, giant miscanthus, amur silver-grass, prairie cordgrass, rosa rugose, black locust, ashleaf maple has been presented. The analysis of the soil degradation in Lublin Voivodeship has been based on the professional literature. On that basis, the plants which would be the best in the reclamation of this area have been chosen. This work also takes into account the estimated costs of establishing plantations of these plants.

description: This study explored psychological distress and well-being in the (HIV negative) partners of gay men with HIV infection and related illness. The role of coping as a moderating variable was investigated. Other moderating variables known to influence level of distress for carers (such as social support, quality of the relationship and life events) were also examined.

35 partners made up the final sample. Clinically significant levels of distress were found. Several coping strategies were significantly (p

description: We study moduli stabilization in the context of M-theory on compact manifolds with G2 holonomy, using superpotentials from flux and membrane instantons, and recent results for the Khaeler potential of such models. The existence of minima with negative cosmological constant, stabilizing all moduli, is established. While most of these minima preserve supersymmetry, we also find examples with broken supersymmetry. Supersymmetric vacua with vanishing cosmological constant can also be obtained after a suitable tuning of parameters.
