Young women’s retrospective accounts of their experience of same-sex sexual desire in adolescence
Creators: name: Logan, Corinne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Seven women aged 19-25 participated in this qualitative study on young women's retrospective accounts of their experience of same-sex sexual desire in adolescence. Each woman participated in an open-ended, audiotaped interview. Each interview was transcribed and then analyzed using Arvay's (2002) narrative method of analysis. A narrative was developed from the analysis of each interview to represent the experience of same-sex desire in adolescence. Upon completion, each narrative was returned to the participant for feedback. Questions were also asked of each participant for clarification or new information. Five themes were identified upon reading across the narratives, based on their consistency across most or all the participants. These were: Growing up in a homophobic and heterosexist environment, denial and repression of same-sex desire, unfulfilled desire, secrecy and self-silencing, and reaching self-acceptance. It is anticipated that this research will help to redress the 'missing discourse of desire' in research and in social constructions of young women's sexuality, and contribute to the development of knowledge and implementation of counselling practice related to adolescent women's same-sex desire.

description: This paper summarizes the results from data collected and analyzed during the study’s second year. The 1997/98 analysis is based on a stratified sample of 210 smallholder maize farmers in Nampula Province. In contrast to the 1996/97 research, when the sample was composed entirely of farmers using the DNER/SG high-input package (improved seed, fertilizer, improved practices), the 1997/98 sample strata represent three different sets of production practices: (1) the DNER/SG high-input, improved management package; (2) an improved management only program implemented by the extension service (improved practices, local seed, no fertilizer); and (3) a control group of farmers who did not participate in any formal program.

description: Additional file 3: Table S1. An example of the haplotype output format. We report the reconstructed haplotypes as a text file with a specific format similar to that of HapCUT2. Each haplotype block starts with a line describing the length of the haplotype, number of reads corresponding to the block and the minimum error correction (MEC) score. From the next line, each row corresponds to each variant. The first and second columns show the 1-based index and variant position, respectively. Then, the next 2 ∗ ploidy columns are haplotypes and quality scores. For each allele of haplotypes, a quality score is provided. As a metric for quality, we use the number of matching reads at each position that are estimated for each haplotype.

description: The black hole MAXI J1820+070 was discovered during its 2018 outburst and was extensively monitored across the electromagnetic spectrum. Following the detection of relativistic radio jets, we obtained four Chandra X-ray observations taken between 2018 November and 2019 May, along with radio observations conducted with the VLA and MeerKAT arrays. We report the discovery of X-ray sources associated with the radio jets moving at relativistic velocities with a possible deceleration at late times. The broadband spectra of the jets are consistent with synchrotron radiation from particles accelerated up to very high energies (>10 TeV) by shocks produced by the jets interacting with the interstellar medium. The minimal internal energy estimated from the X-ray observations for the jets is $\sim 10^{41}$ erg, significantly larger than the energy calculated from the radio flare alone, suggesting most of the energy is possibly not radiated at small scales but released through late-time interactions.

description: Experimental results in recent years have shown that adult neurogenesis is a significant phenomenon in the mammalian brain. Little is known, however, about the functional role played by the generation and destruction of neurons in the context of and adult brain. Here we propose two models where new projection neurons are incorporated. We show that in both models, using incorporation and removal of neurons as a computational tool, it is possible to achieve a higher computational efficiency that in purely static, synapse-learning driven networks. We also discuss the implication for understanding the role of adult neurogenesis in specific brain areas.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The geometrical formulation of the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi theory shows that the quantum potential is never trivial, so that it plays the rôle of intrinsic energy. Such a key property selects the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) quantum potential $Q[g_{jk}]$ as the natural candidate for the dark energy. This leads to the WDW Hamilton-Jacobi equation with a vanishing kinetic term, and with the identification $$ Λ=-\frac{κ^2}{\sqrt{\bar g}}Q[g_{jk}] \ . $$ This shows that the cosmological constant is a quantum correction of the Einstein tensor, reminiscent of the von Weizsäcker correction to the kinetic term of the Thomas-Fermi theory. The quantum potential also defines the Madelung pressure tensor. The geometrical origin of the vacuum energy density, a strictly non-perturbative phenomenon, provides strong evidence that it is due to a graviton condensate. Time independence of the regularized WDW equation suggests that the ratio between the Planck length and the Hubble radius may be a time constant, providing an infrared/ultraviolet duality. We speculate that such a duality is related to the local to global geometry theorems for constant curvatures, showing that understanding the universe geometry is crucial for a formulation of Quantum Gravity.

Drawing conformal diagrams for a fractal landscape

description: Generic models of cosmological inflation and the recently proposed scenarios of a recycling universe and the string theory landscape predict spacetimes whose global geometry is a stochastic, self-similar fractal. To visualize the complicated causal structure of such a universe, one usually draws a conformal (Carter-Penrose) diagram. I develop a new method for drawing conformal diagrams, applicable to arbitrary 1+1-dimensional spacetimes. This method is based on a qualitative analysis of intersecting lightrays and thus avoids the need for explicit transformations of the spacetime metric. To demonstrate the power and simplicity of this method, I present derivations of diagrams for spacetimes of varying complication. I then apply the lightray method to three different models of an eternally inflating universe (scalar-field inflation, recycling universe, and string theory landscape) involving the nucleation of nested asymptotically flat, de Sitter and/or anti-de Sitter bubbles. I show that the resulting diagrams contain a characteristic fractal arrangement of lines.

description: Studying the conversion between transverse light modes via four-wave mixing in a heated rubidium vapour, we demonstrate and explain a transfer between azimuthal and radial mode numbers. These relate to orthogonal modal dimensions, which one would not normally expect to interact. While angular momentum conservation in this nonlinear process dictates the selection rules for the angular mode number, the role of the radial mode number is more esoteric. We demonstrate systematically that the Gouy phase is the key to understanding this conversion, leading to strikingly different conversion behaviour in the thick and thin medium regime. Our experimental investigation of the transition between these regimes bridges the gap between previous experiments in atomic thick media and work in nonlinear crystals. Our work sets a clear starting point to explore new territory in the thick medium regime, allowing efficient radial-to-azimuthal and radial-to-radial mode conversion.

description: This paper challenges the conclusions of earlier writers regarding the roles of smallholder agriculture, commercial agriculture, and wage labour in rural poverty alleviation in Mozambique. It reviews literature from across Sub-Saharan Africa and use recently collected household level data sets to place Mozambique within this literature. Results show that, as in the rest of SSA, wage labour earnings are concentrated among the best-off rural smallholders; these earnings increase income inequality rather than reducing it. Results also suggest that the same set of households, who are substantially better-off than others, has tended to gain and maintain access to the “high-wage” end of the labour market over time. Key determinants of access to “high-wage” labour are levels of education and previously accumulated household wealth. Income from wage labour plays a key role lifting out of relative poverty those female-headed households that can obtain it, yet only about one in five such households earns wage income.

We show that acting with a super-Pohlmeyer invariant with respect to some non-abelian gauge field A on the boundary state of a bare D9 brane produces the boundary state describing that non-abelian background gauge field on the brane. Known consistency conditions on that boundary state equivalent to the background equations of motion for A hence also apply to the quantized Pohlmeyer invariants.

El proyecto de investigación WaterProof (Urban Waste and water Treatment Emission Reduction by utilizing CO2 for the PROduction Of Formate derived chemicals), financiado por la UE, tiene como objetivo desarrollar un proceso electroquímico que convierta las emisiones de CO2 captadas en las plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales en ácido fórmico parasu uso en valiosos productos de consumo ecológicos, como detergentes de limpieza y para el curtido de pieles (de pescado).

Qué son las aguas residuales y por qué hay que ser tratadas?Las aguas residuales son las aguas utilizadas y contaminadas por actividades humanas. Estas actividades incluyen todo desde los efluentes domésticos, como el agua del baño, el agua de la vajilla y las cisternas de los inodoros, hasta los efluentes industriales y agrícolas. En la Unión Europea, se generan diariamente 544,4 millones habitantes equivalente (h-e) de aguas residuales. Esta cantidad equivale a unos 1087 millones de bañeras.1 Para evitar la contaminación del medio ambiente, las aguas residuales urbanas deben tratarse antes de verterse.

description: The mechanical properties of Cu/Nb metallic nanolaminates with different layer thickness (7, 16, 34 and 63 nm) were studied by means of micropillar compression tests from room temperature to 400 C. Both strain-rate jump and constant strain rate tests were carried out and they showed evidence of dynamic strain ageing in the nanolaminates with 7, 16 and 34 nm layer thickness deformed at 200 C. Dynamic strain ageing was accompanied by a reduction of the strain rate sensitivity to 0, high strength retention at 200 C and the development of shear localization of the deformation at low strains (5%-6%) that took place along the Nb layers in the nanolaminates. Atom probe tomography of the deformed specimens revealed the presence of O in solid solution in the Nb layers but not in the Cu layers. Thus, diffusion of O atoms to the mobile dislocations in Nb was found to be the origin of the dynamic strain ageing in the Cu/Nb nanolaminates around 200 C. This mechanism was not found at higher temperatures (400 C) because deformation was mainly controlled by stress-assisted diffusion in the Cu layers. This discovery shows a novel strategy to enhance the strength retention at high temperature of metallic nanolaminates through dynamic strain ageing of one the phases.

description: Debuggers are a popular reverse engineering and tampering tool. Self-debugging is an effective technique for applications to defend themselves against hostile debuggers. In penetration tests on state-of-the-art self-debugging, we observed several opportunities through which it could be attacked, however. We therefore improved upon the existing technique, making it more resilient by introducing reciprocal debugging and making the transfers of control between protected application and self-debugger more stealthy. This paper presents the improved self-debugging design, and details our research efforts into realizing reciprocal debugging. In our evaluation we show that the improved design is significantly harder for attackers to defeat.

We have performed an interferometric measurement of the index variation associated with a two-photon resonance to estimate the dispersion characteristics of the medium that is relevant to the slow-light based rotation sensing scheme. We also show that the presence of counter-propagating pump beams in an optical Sagnac loop produces a backward optical phase conjugation beam that can generate spurious signals, which may complicate the measurement of small rotations in the slow-light enhanced gyroscope. We identify techniques for overcoming this constraint.

description: We present LeviCursor, a method for interactively moving a physical, levitating particle in 3D with high agility. The levitating object can move continuously and smoothly in any direction. We optimize the transducer phases for each possible levitation point independently. Using precomputation, our system can determine the optimal transducer phases within a few microseconds and achieves round-trip latencies of 15 ms. Due to our interpolation scheme, the levitated object can be controlled almost instantaneously with sub-millimeter accuracy. We present a particle stabilization mechanism which ensures the levitating particle is always in the main levitation trap. Lastly, we conduct the first Fitts' law-type pointing study with a real 3D cursor, where participants control the movement of the levitated cursor between two physical targets. The results of the user study demonstrate that using LeviCursor, users reach performance comparable to that of a mouse pointer.

description: In online crowdsourcing labour markets, employers decide which job-seekers to hire based on their reputation profiles. If reputation systems neglect the aspect of time when displaying reputation profiles, though, employers risk taking false decisions, deeming an obsolete reputation to be still relevant. As a consequence, job-seekers might be unwarrantedly deprived of getting hired for new jobs and can be harmed in their professional careers in the long-run. This paper argues that exposing employers to the temporal context of job-seekers' reputation leads to better hiring decisions. The visible temporal context in reputation systems helps employers to ignore a job-seeker's obsolete reputation. An experimental lab study with 335 students shows that current reputation systems fall short of making them aware of obsolete reputation. In contrast, graphical time cues improve the social efficiency of hiring decisions.

description: If the X(3872) is a loosely-bound D^{*0} Dbar^0 / D^0 Dbar^{*0} molecule, its inclusive production rate can be described by the NRQCD factorization formalism that applies to inclusive quarkonium production. We argue that if the molecule has quantum numbers J^{PC} = 1^{++}, the most important term in the factorization formula should be the color-octet ^3S_1 term. This is also one of the two most important terms in the factorization formulas for chi_{cJ}. Since the color-octet ^3S_1 term dominates chi_{cJ} production for many processes, the ratio of the inclusive direct production rates for X and chi_{cJ} should be roughly the same for these processes. The assumption that the ratio of the production rates for X and chi_{cJ} is the same for all processes is used to estimate the inclusive production rate of X in B meson decays, Z^0 decays, and in p pbar collisions.

description: The problem of inferring pair-wise and higher-order interactions in complex systems involving large numbers of interacting variables, from observational data, is fundamental to many fields. Known to the statistical physics community as the inverse problem, it has become accessible in recent years due to real and simulated 'big' data being generated. Current approaches to the inverse problem rely on parametric assumptions, physical approximations, e.g. mean-field theory, and ignoring higher-order interactions which may lead to biased or incorrect estimates. We bypass these shortcomings using a cross-disciplinary approach and demonstrate that none of these assumptions and approximations are necessary: We introduce a universal, model-independent, and fundamentally unbiased estimator of all-order symmetric interactions, via the non-parametric framework of Targeted Learning, a subfield of mathematical statistics. Due to its universality, our definition is readily applicable to any system at equilibrium with binary and categorical variables, be it magnetic spins, nodes in a neural network, or protein networks in biology. Our approach is targeted, not requiring fitting unnecessary parameters. Instead, it expends all data on estimating interactions, hence substantially increasing accuracy. We demonstrate the generality of our technique both analytically and numerically on (i) the 2-dimensional Ising model, (ii) an Ising-like model with 4-point interactions, (iii) the Restricted Boltzmann Machine, and (iv) simulated individual-level human DNA variants and representative traits. The latter demonstrates the applicability of this approach to discover epistatic interactions causal of disease in population biomedicine.

description: Digital imaging has been steadily improving over the past decades and we are moving towards a wide use of multi- and hyperspectral cameras. A key component of such imaging systems are color filter arrays, which define the spectrum of light detected by each camera pixel. Hence, it is essential to develop a variable, robust and scalable way for controlling the transmission of light. Nanostructured surfaces, also known as metasurfaces, offer a promising solution as their transmission spectra can be controlled by shaping the wavelength-dependent scattering properties of their constituting elements. Here we present, metasurfaces based on silicon nanodisks, which provide filter functions with amplitudes reaching 70-90% of transmission, and well suitable for RGB and CMY color filter arrays, the initial stage towards the further development of hyperspectral filters. We suggest and discuss possible ways to expand the color gamut and improve the color values of such optical filters.
Modulated dust-acoustic wave packets in a plasma with non-isothermal electrons and ions

description: Nonlinear self-modulation of the dust acoustic waves is studied, in the presence of non-thermal (non-Maxwellian) ion and electron populations. By employing a multiple scale technique, a nonlinear Schrodinger-type equation (NLSE) is derived for the wave amplitude. The influence of non-thermality, in addition to obliqueness (between the propagation and modulation directions), on the conditions for modulational instability to occur is discussed. Different types of localized solutions (envelope excitations) which may possibly occur are discussed, and the dependence of their characteristics on physical parameters is traced. The ion deviation from a Maxwellian distribution comes out to be more important than the electron analogous deviation alone. Both yield a de-stabilizing effect on (the amplitude of) DAWs propagating in a dusty plasma with negative dust grains. The opposite effect, namely a tendency towards amplitude stabilization, is found for the case of positively charged dust presence in the plasma.

Isolated and non-isolated dark matter halos and the NFW profile

description: We compare the conclusions reached using the coarse-graining technique employed by Henriksen (2004) for a one degree of freedom (per particle) collisionless system, to those presented in a paper by Binney (2004) based on an exact one degree of freedom model. We find agreement in detail but in addition we show that the isolated 1D system is self-similar and therefore unrelaxed. Fine graining of this system recovers much less prominent wave-like structure than in a spherically symmetric isotropic 3D system. The rate of central flattening is also reduced in the 1D system. We take this to be evidence that relaxation of collisionless systems proceeds ultimately by way of short wavelength Landau damping. N-body systems, both real and simulated, can be trapped in an incompletely relaxed state because of a break in the cascade of energy to small scales. This may be due to the rapid dissipation of the small scale oscillations in an isolated system, to the existence of conserved quantities such as angular momentum, or to the failure in simulations to resolve sub-Jeans length scales. Such a partially relaxed state appears to be the NFW state, and is to be expected especially in young systems. The NFW core is shown to be isolated. In non-isolated systems continuing coarse-grained relaxation should be towards a density core in solid body rotation.

description: This page introduces the DIPS (Distributed and Intelligent Power Systems) platform. DIPS is one outcome of the development of the Monash Microgrid, as part of the Net Zero Initiative. It provides a lens into the Clayton campus of Monash University, whereby distributed energy resources (DERs), outside of performing their operational role in decarbonizing Monash’s operations, appear as instruments in a research laboratory. The campus is then a research environment for performing experiments on “smarts” coordinating DERs.

description: In this tutorial-style review we discuss basic concepts of coupled cluster theory and recent developments that increase its computational efficiency for calculations of molecules, solids and materials in general. We will touch upon the connection between coupled cluster theory and the random-phase approximation that is widely used in the field of solid-state physics. We will discuss various approaches to improve the computational performance without compromising on accuracy. These approaches include large-scale parallel design as well as techniques that reduce the pre-factor of the computational complexity. A central part of this article discusses the convergence of calculated properties to the thermodynamic limit, which is of significant importance for reliable predictions of materials properties and constitutes an additional challenge compared to calculations of large molecules. We mention technical aspects of computer code implementations of periodic coupled cluster theories in different numerical frameworks of the one-electron orbital basis; the projector-augmented-wave formalism using a plane wave basis set and the numeric atom-centered-orbital (NAO) with resolution-of-identity. We will discuss results and the possible scope of these implementations and how they can help advance the current state of the art in electronic structure theory calculations of materials.

description: Over the last decade the Vietnamese government has instigated land reforms that recognise the household as the basic unit of production and allocate land use rights to households. Under the 1993 Land Law these rights can be transferred, exchanged, leased, inherited, and mortgaged. This Land Law provided the foundation for the development of a market for land use rights. During 2001, 400 farm households were surveyed in four provinces in Vietnam. Along with production and consumption data, evidence was sought of land accumulation and consolidation, land use changes, and attitudes to land reform issues. Analysis of the data shows that there is an active market for land use rights, but the level of activity varies considerably between provinces. Some individual households have acquired a large percentage of their land through buying or renting activities, as distinct from land that has been allocated or inherited. A more active market appears to be associated with opportunities for land use changes which lead to more profitable production activities. Lack of available land and in some cases labour, inadequate credit access, and reluctance to sell land use rights are identified as constraints to the land use right market, rather than transaction costs and the limit on land holdings.
Regularization by Dimensional Reduction: Consistency, Quantum Action Principle, and Supersymmetry

description: It is proven by explicit construction that regularization by dimensional reduction can be formulated in a mathematically consistent way. In this formulation the quantum action principle is shown to hold. This provides an intuitive and elegant relation between the D-dimensional Lagrangian and Ward or Slavnov-Taylor identities, and it can be used in particular to study to what extent dimensional reduction preserves supersymmetry. We give several examples of previously unchecked cases.
