description: Strings in $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric ${\rm U}(1)^N$ gauge theories with $N$ hypermultiplets are studied in the generic setting of an arbitrary Fayet-Iliopoulos triplet of parameters for each gauge group and an invertible charge matrix. Although the string tension is generically of a square-root form, it turns out that all existing BPS (Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield) solutions have a tension which is linear in the magnetic fluxes, which in turn are linearly related to the winding numbers. The main result is a series of theorems establishing three different kinds of solutions of the so-called constraint equations, which can be pictured as orthogonal directions to the magnetic flux in ${\rm SU}(2)_R$ space. We further prove for all cases, that a seemingly vanishing Bogomol'nyi bound cannot have solutions. Finally, we write down the most general vortex equations in both master form and Taubes-like form. Remarkably, the final vortex equations essentially look Abelian in the sense that there is no trace of the ${\rm SU}(2)_R$ symmetry in the equations, after the constraint equations have been solved.

Erster Fund in der Nearktis, Bundesstaat New York, Tompkins County vom 20.8.1963; es folgen weitere aus den Jahren 1963 und 1964, hier und von Ludlowville bei Ithaca (JAYCOX 1967). Nach Droege inzwischen in Nordamerika weit verbreitet, im Nordosten der USA und im südlichen Kanada, sowie in Idaho gemeldet und stabile Populationen in Kalifornien. Die Besiedlung des Mittelwestens aus den Bundesstaaten Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin und Colorado wurde mit vielen Literaturzitaten dokumentiert (TONIETTO & ASCHER 2008). Eingeschleppt auch in Argentinien, Brasilien und Uruguay (MOURE & URBAN 1964).
 Anthidium manicatum ist paläarktisch, mit Schwerpunkt im Westen. In Europa nach Norden in Finnland bis Ostrobottnia media N63 °, in Mitteleuropa die mit Abstand häufigste Anthidium - Art, auch als Kulturfolger bis in die Gärten der Städte vordringend, bei entsprechendem Blütenangebot an Labiatae, besonders auf Stachys byzantina wie auch in meinem Garten in Puchenau. Auf den Azoren entsprechend des insular extrem kleinen Artenspektrums als aus dem Atlantik aufgetauchten Inseln sicher eingeschleppt; auf den Kanaren mit grösster Wahrscheinlichkeit eingeschleppt, weil nur auf Tenerife und Gran Canaria vorkommend, nicht aber auf den beiden kontinentnahen Inseln, denn die Art ist in der Subspezies barbarum LEPELETIER 1841 von Marokko bis Lybien bekannt, in der Subspezies cyrenaica ZANDEN 1992 in der Cyrenaika. Die Stammform in Eurasien von Süd- und Mittelengland nach Osten bis Burjatia (Baraty) (PROSHCHALYKIN 2007a: 6). Isolierte Subspezies in Gebirgen Zentralasiens, in der Subspezies hissaricum MAVROMOUSTAKIS 1939 in Tadzikistan, in der Subspezies subcrenulatum ALFKEN 1930 im Pamir.

description: A series of trials was carried out with the growth hormone CERONE 720 (active ingredient ethephon) on rice (var. Rustic) in Guyana during the Autumn cycle of 1995 and Spring cycle of 1996. In 1995, (here was three experiments while in 1996 there was a larger scale on-fann experiment. The result were as follows: Experiment 1 - in which twelve CERONE 720 application rates ranging from 0 lo 51.20 g aJJL of water were administered to seed under 10 cm simulated flooded condition. The O.16-O.32g a.i./L range of treatments increased (P<0.001) seedling emergence above the flood water level 42% to 80%. The CERONE 720, therefore, increased the rate of elongation of the rice seedling leaves under flood. Experiment 2 - in which CERONE 720 was found to increase rice yield in a fanner's field by approximately 6% when applied as a seed treatment at the rate of 1.44g a.i./L of water. This trial also indicated dial a seedling rate οΓ 100 kg ha'1 could leap to a significantly (P<0.05) higher yield than (lie normal rate of 150 kg lia"1 if CERONE 720 was applied to seed at the lower seedling rale; this gave a saving of 50 kg ha"1 of seed while at the same time providing an additional 0.24 l ha"1 of grain. Experiment 3 - in which CERONE 720 was applied to experiment station plots as a foliar spray just prior to panicle initiation at the rate of 300 g a.i. ha"1. Grain yield was increased by approximately 13% while grain quality was improved. Experiment 4 - in 1996 six large scale plots were selected in four commercial farmer's field along the coastal belt of Guyana and CERONE 720 was applied at (he recommended rate of 300 g a.i. lia"1 as a foliar spray just prior to panicle initiation to one-half of each plot; the other half was untreated. The treatment led to an average increase in grain yield of 620 kg ha"1 or 12.5% of the variety Rustic which occupied about 70% of the total area under rice production in Guyana. This yield increase translated to a net profit increase οΓ approximately US$88 lia"1 (Guy $12496 ha"1) and confirmed on a large scale what was achieved on experiment station plots in the previous crop cycle.

title: Factors influencing driving in older age : an application of the theory of planned behaviour
Creators: name: Mitchell, Rebecca
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This study investigates factors that may be related to dependency on driving and decisions to continue or ceased riving in older age. Some older drivers may be unsafe to drive (Drachman & Swearer, 1993), but are unwilling to cease, this can result in referrals to mental health services. The potential influence of attitudes towards driving on driving behaviour has been highlighted (O'Neill, 1996) but as yet has not been fully investigated.

 A questionnaire was developed, based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, to elicit factors which might predict older drivers' intentions to drive more or less often. Reliability was demonstrated for the questionnaire, which was completed by 99 older drivers. The results indicated that the majority of older drivers used their car frequently. Two components of the Theory of Planned Behaviour were demonstrated to predict 73% of the variance in driving behaviour, namely, perceived behavioural control and attitude towards driving. Those drivers who perceived more positive outcomes for driving and less negative outcomes were likely to intend driving more often. Also those drivers with higher levels of perceived behavioural control were likely to intend to drive more often. A self-report measure of actual driving behaviour two to three months later, suggested that behavioural intention was highly related to subsequent driving behaviour. Methodological issues, future research and clinical implications of the findings are discussed. In particular, interventions based on attitude change and problem solving to decrease perceived dependency on the car, may facilitate the process of giving up driving.

Influence of family and child characteristics on the outcomes of a parent rated developmental screening instrument
Creators: name: Riesch, Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The development of children is an important issue for school psychologists, researchers, healthcare practitioners, educators, and parents. Methods with demonstrated efficacy to screen for developmental delays in children are necessary because early detection of delays can begin the process of designing interventions, educating parents, and preparing young children for school. Parents play a major role in the detection process. Many research studies report that parents are accurate at reporting observable child development; however, sensitivity on screening tools is still modest for most instruments. In this study the role of family and child characteristics on agreement between the Nippising District Developmental Screen ( NDDS ) and developmental assessment using the Stanford Binet Intelligence Scales, 5 th edition (SB5), the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, 3 rd edition (PPVT-III), and the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 2 nd edition (BSID-2) was investigated. Pearson Chi-squared statistics were used to test hypothesized associations between the explanatory variables (child and family characteristics) and results from the parent-completed NDDS. Variables found to have significant associations were then analyzed using binary logistic regression analyses to determine which child and family characteristics predicted agreement between the NDDS and the developmental assessment. The hypotheses were partially supported. The results from the bivariate analyses support hypotheses for child gender and age, as well as family income and maternal age for children without delays (True Negatives), but not for children with delays (True Positives. These findings indicate the sensitivity and specificity rates for the NDDS vary largely by child gender and age, but that some family characteristics (specifically, family income and maternal age) are also associated with the likelihood of achieving True Positive and True Negative results

description: We consider radiation emitted by colour-charged and massive particles crossing strong plane wave backgrounds in gauge theory and gravity. These backgrounds are treated exactly and non-perturbatively throughout. We compute the back-reaction on these fields from the radiation emitted by the probe particles: classically through background-coupled worldline theories, and at tree-level in the quantum theory through three-point amplitudes. Consistency of these two methods is established explicitly. We show that the gauge theory and gravity amplitudes are related by the double copy for amplitudes on plane wave backgrounds. Finally, we demonstrate that in four-dimensions these calculations can be carried out with a background-dressed version of the massive spinor-helicity formalism.

description: We report observations of SN 2004dt obtained with the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory on August 13.30, 2004 when the supernova was more than a week before optical maximum. SN 2004dt showed strong lines of \ion{O}{1}, \ion{Mg}{2}, \ion{Si}{2}, and \ion{Ca}{2} with typical velocities of absorption minimum around 17,000 \kms. The line profiles show material moving at velocities as high as 25,000 \kms in these lines. The observations also reveal absorption lines from \ion{S}{2} and \ion{Si}{3} with a velocity of only 11,000 \kms. The highest velocity in the \ion{S}{2} features can be traced no higher than 15,000 \kms, much lower than those of O, Mg, Si, and Ca. SN 2004dt has a polarization spectrum unlike any previously observed. The variation of the polarization across some \ion{Si}{2} lines approaches 2%, making SN 2004dt the most highly polarized SN Ia ever observed. In contrast, the strong line of O I at 777.4 nm shows little or no polarization signature. The degree of polarization points to a richly-structured partially burned silicon layer with substantial departure from spherical symmetry. A geometry that would account for the observations is one in which the distribution of oxygen is essentially spherically symmetric, but with bubbles of intermediate-mass elements with significant opacity within the oxygen substrate.

title: Regression periods in infancy and maternal post-natal depression
Creators: name: Woolmore, Ashley
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: van de Rijt-Plooij & Plooij (1992) have found periods of 'regressive behaviour' (Regression Periods), which accompany developmental transitions in infancy. In fullterm normal infants these periods occur at specific ages. The present study had two central aims. Firstly, to see if the Plooijs' finding of Regression Periods at 12, 17 and 26 weeks postpartum could be replicated. Secondly, to investigate the relationship between the length of Regression Periods for a control group of participants and a group of participants at heightened risk of developing insecure mother-infant attachment: mothers presenting with symptoms of post-natal depression. Forty-five mother-infant dyads participated in this prospective, longitudinal study. After seeing mothers at home, they were interviewed weekly, for approximately 15 weeks, about specific infant behaviours and their reactions to their infant. Following two types of manipulation of the data, Regression Periods for control group participants were detected at weeks 12, 16,20 and 24, whereas for participants in the post-natal depression group, Regression Periods were detected at weeks 14, 17 and 25, supporting the Plooijs' findings. Regression Periods were longer in the post-natal depression group. Depressed mothers were also less flexible in their mothering style, measured on the Facilitators & Regulators questionnaire. Based on the findings of this study, the development of insecure attachment is discussed. A clinical implication of this work is that information about Regression Periods could be made available to new-mothers, using Regression Period knowledge to focus on the prevention of insecure attachment.

description: Key uncertainties of the cotton industry, such as yield per acre, domestic mill consumption, and export sales, are evaluated using a microcomputer- based econometric model, AGGIES/Cotton (AGricultural Globally Integrated Econometric System), to generate a baseline forecast and alternative scenarios for the 1988/89 crop year. Various discretionary provisions of the 1988/89 cotton program are analyzed in relation to these simulation results. Effects of uncertainties are discussed with respect to alternative production and demand projections in relation to a carryover stock target of 4 million bales, as specified by the 1985 farm legislation and deviations from this target. An econometric model can best be utilized in the policy process for a baseline economic projection, impact simulation of alternative economic outcomes, and evaluation of policy response to uncertainties. The most useful model application to the cotton industry, under the existing program of marketing loan and the dynamic transitions in the world market, is to forecast major market trends and evaluate the areas of uncertainty for policy decisions.

description: We revisit the cubic interaction of IIB string theory in the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background. In the supergravity limit, we show that detailed comparison with AdS supergravity determine the vertex completely. Extension of this supergravity vertex to the full string theory leads to a new cubic vertex that combines the previous proposals and contains additional terms. We give an alternative derivation of the holographic duality map in supergravity, first found by Dobashi and Yoneya (hep-th/0406225) and show that our new vertex is consistent with it. We compare some non-BPS amplitudes (including impurity non-preserving ones) with the corresponding field theory correlators, and discuss what they imply for the stringy generalization of the duality map. We also notice that our vertex realizes the U(1)_Y symmetry linearly, and propose a similar modification for the flat space vertex.

description: Only recently, with the publication of the Radcliffe Report, has the issue of the control of liquidity risen to the forefront of economic debate, primarily in connection with anti-cyclical policies. Money, and the control of its supply, continues to be the main component of regulation policies on the demand for goods and services. The innovation lies in the consideration of quasi-money as assets capable of being rapidly transformed into money without appreciable loss. While such aspects have always been considered, their novel prominence places the state treasury on the center stage of monetary policy along side the central bank. The article reviews the recent experience of Italy in this regard. JEL: E51, E52, E58

title: Antithrombotic agents under flow conditions
Creators: name: Thomas, Stephen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2003

description: Haemostasis is the result of a fine balance of interactions between the endothelium, plasma proteins and blood cells under a wide range of flow rates. To mimic these conditions in vitro, a parallel plate flow chamber with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) or extracellular matrix (ECM) has been developed. A method to investigate thrombin generation (TG) in platelet rich defibrinated plasma was validated and used to investigate inhibition by two distinct classes of antithrombotic agents: anti-platelet antibodies and anticoagulants, including unfractionated heparin (UFH), low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and hirudin.

Increasing flow rates increased TG, which was higher in the presence of ECM than in the presence of HUVEC. All anti thrombotic agents investigated were less effective in the presence of ECM.

 The monoclonal anti-platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa antibody, RFGP56, partially inhibited TG under static or arterial flow conditions and was less effective under venous flow conditions. The monoclonal anti-platelet GP Ibα antibody, RFGP37, did not inhibit TG under flow or static conditions. A combination of the two antibodies showed no further activity than RFGP56 alone.

 UFH, which has equal anti-factor Xa and anti-thrombin activity, was able to inhibit TG under static and flow conditions. On an anti-Xa unit basis, comparatively more LMWH (with a 10: 1 ratio of anti-factor Xa to anti-thrombin activity) was required to inhibit TG under static and venous conditions, but under arterial conditions LMWH was as effective as UFH. Hirudin, a thrombin specific inhibitor, was totally effective under static conditions, but was only able to inhibit up to 40 % ofTG under flow.

This study shows that some anti-platelet agents can inhibit coagulation and this may contribute to their antithrombotic efficacy under certain flow conditions. Although both the anti-factor Xa and anti-thrombin activities of anticoagulants are effective, anti-factor Xa activity may play a more important inhibitory role under flow conditions.

description: Systems consisting of a massive black hole and a stellar-origin compact object (CO), known as extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), are of great significance for space-based gravitational-wave detectors, as they will allow for testing gravitational theories in the strong field regime, and for checking the validity of the black hole no-hair theorem. In this work, we present a calculation of the EMRI rate and parameter estimation capabilities of the TianQin observatory, for various astrophysical models for these sources. We find that TianQin can observe EMRIs involving COs with mass of 10$M_\odot$ up to redshift $\sim2$. We also find that detections could reach tens or hundreds per year in the most optimistic astrophysical scenarios. Intrinsic parameters are expected to be recovered to within fractional errors of $\sim 10^{-6}$, while typical errors on the luminosity distance and sky localization are 10% and 10 deg$^2$, respectively. TianQin observation of EMRIs can also constrain possible deviations from the Kerr quadrupole moment to within fractional errors $\lesssim10^{-4}$. We also find that a network of multiple detectors would allow for improvements in both detection rates (by a factor $\sim 1.5$ -$3$) and in parameter estimation precision (20-fold improvement for the sky localization and fivefold improvement for the other parameters).

description: The large population and the limited resources of soil and climate appear to make industrialisation a necessary ingredient of any true solution to Italy’s “Southern problem”. Whether correct or not, this conclusion is embodied in Italian economic policy. The purpose of the present article is not to evaluate the whole program for industrialisation, but rather only one small part of it, the special aids in the fields of taxation and credit which attempt to provide rather specific additional profit incentives in favour of Southern as opposed to Northern industrial investment. After a brief description of these provisions, and a general analysis of their effects, the authors attempt, through a series of hypothetical but realistic examples, to assess their quantitative importance and to understand to what extent they affect the profit margins on potential Southern investment.

Cotton Market Responses Under Alternative Acreage Reduction and Paid Land Diversion Options

description: Unlike the major grains and soybeans, cotton was not significantly affected by the 1988 drought. The large cotton production, declines in domestic mill use and export sales have combined to cause a sharp increase in the 1988/89 projected ending stocks to a burdensome level of 9.2 million bales, far beyond the 4 million target specified in the 198S farm bill. A 2S percent ARP (Acreage Reduction Program) set­aside was announced for the 1989 crop in late 1988, but no PLD (Paid Land Diversion) provisions were included. Reflecting the industry's growing concern over the cotton outlook, there are calls for implementation of additional acreage reduction of PLD for the next crop season. This study utilizes the AGGIES/Cotton (AGricultural Globally Integrated Econometric System) model to evaluate the effects of additional acreage reduction. Three alternative acreage assumptions are analyzed: a 12.S percent PLD for 1989/90, a 12.S percent PLD for the year earlier (1988/89), and an increase of the 1988/89 ARP percentage from the 12.S percent to 2S percent. The simulation results indicate some increase in prices but cash receipts and gross income in the year the program is implemented would decline due to policy-induced production cutback. Mill use and exports would also decline. U.S. prices would be less competitive in the world market. However, some program benefits can be expected, including a reduction of excessive stocks and longer-term gains in producer's incomes and savings in government program costs.
Compose your self : expression and identity in the unsanctioned writing of adolescent and young adult poets and songwriters
Creators: name: Lauscher, Helen Novak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this research was to explore the experiences of young people as "creative writers" penning their own personal texts in the social, political, and cultural contexts of their lives. The research problem was: From the perspective of the young adult writer, what is the experience of engaging in expression through independent poetry- and song-writing? A qualitative approach was employed to understand contextual and individual factors in exploring the roles that writing may have in the lives of young people who engage in unsanctioned writing practice, or writing practices that are independent from school-supported activities or curriculum. The theoretical framework guiding the analysis focused on understanding the young writers' experiences and uses of writing practice as a site for identity construction. I worked with a group often writers, six female and four male, from age 17 to 30, who actively engaged in writing practices such as poetry, spoken word, and zines. The primary data source was in-depth interviews, which took place where the participants wrote, performed their writing, or hung out. For the participants, writing was: a context for identity construction, self-reflection, and documentation of identity; an emotional outlet arid "safe place;" a way to "be heard" and recognized; a means of connecting with and understanding others; and a context for exploring ideas, expressing beliefs, and making an impact through social action/activism. They described their school experiences in relation to their writing practice and provided recommendations for making schools engaging for young people. An important recommendation was for teachers to care, encourage, and challenge their students in their writing practice. Participants recognized that teachers faced challenges in having to adhere to a rigid curriculum, and suggested that the school system must be more flexible to permit them to bring their own life experiences, and those of their students, into the classroom. This study is one step toward understanding young people's experiences of being writers, how they make meaning and ground themselves and their identities through writing practice. The findings may inform and challenge educators, researchers, and those who work with young people in a variety of contexts.
title: Migration of human tympanic epithelium in health and disease
Creators: name: Boxall, John David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: The gradual en masse migration of keratinised stratified squamous epithelium across the external surface of the human ear drum is an essential function in the maintenance of this delicate membrane by removing dead squamous epithelium to the external meatus for dispersal. The abnormal presence of the same epithelium in the middle ear space produces a proliferating, expanding mass which cannot escape from its enclosed environment. This condition, described as cholesteatoma*, can, in turn, invade the facial nerve, inner ear and intracranial contents and require surgical intervention which in itself poses some risk to the individual.

The probable origins of cholesteatoma have been debated for more than a century.

Two experiments are presented (1) to examine the morphology and structure of a whole, normal tympanic membrane and (2) to examine cultures of epithelium dissected from the neck of a cholesteatoma sac for differences in morphology and migration from those found in tympanic membrane epithelium, using light microscopy and time-lapse video recordings.

The results show: (1) that the epithelial and fibroblast content can be determined in different layers of the whole tympanic membrane and that the close proximity and shared polarity between epithelium on the surface of the tympanic membrane and fibroblasts in the fibrous layer did not influence the direction of epithelial migration, (2) that in tissue culture, there are (a) marked differences in the yield of epithelium from explants dissected from the neck of a cholesteatoma sac, (b) that these cultures produce epithelium with morphological differences to tympanic membrane epithelium and (c) that fibroblasts affect the fate of epithelium during tissue culture.

description: This paper introduces a systematic treatment of the linear theory of scalar gravitational perturbations in the presence of a fully inhomogeneous magnetic field. The analysis is conducted both in the synchronous and in the conformally Newtonian gauges. The cosmological plasma is assumed to be composed of cold dark mattter, baryons, photons, neutrinos. The problem of super-horizon initial conditions for the fluid variables of the various species and for the coupled system of Boltzmann-Einstein equations is discussed in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The tight coupling approximation for the Boltzmann hierarchy is extended to the case where gravitating magnetic fields are included.
