description: Eight popular women's magazines (four fashion and four health/fitness) from 1995-2005 were analyzed for content. Results indicated while fashion magazine cover models were thinner than health/fitness models, health/fitness models were getting smaller over time. Additionally, there were no differences in the amount of revealing clothing depicted on the covers of fashion and health/fitness magazines however, each type of magazine emphasized different body parts. Both fashion and health/fitness magazines were depicting more revealing clothing over time, however the association was stronger with the fashion magazines. Most of the ads and articles in fashion and health/fitness magazines depicted health content for health purposes, however several ads and articles promoted health content for appearance purposes as well. Finally, many food and drink ads and articles promoted diet products. A discussion was presented regarding how conflicting media messages, the social comparison process, and the media's influence on trendsetting could influence body dissatisfaction after viewing certain magazines.

description: Organizational change is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. The problem this study addressed was the need to better understand the processes through which change occurs in the U.S. federal government. This study examined the change process of a federal regulatory agency in the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. The redesign of the agency's monitoring system was used as a basis to understand and describe how change occurred within the agency from 1999 to 2004. Data were collected through document review, electronic surveys, and person-to-person interviews of staff members directly involved in the design and implementation of the change. Participants were selected from across the agency to capture the diversity of perspectives regarding the change. Thirty-four participants responded to the survey and twelve were selected for face-to-face interviews. The study endeavored to understand how change occurred with respect to three domains: tempo of change, vector of change, and the human element of change. In addition, the study identified the factors that facilitated and presented challenges to the change process. Each of the three domains is represented by dichotomies of the change process. The study found that the pace of the change (tempo), how it was implemented (vector), and the impact on the people involved (human element) were interrelated. The study identified five major findings that emerged from the data: (1) the tempo of the change process was continuous and rapid; (2) the change process necessitated the acquisition of new learning; (3) workgroups were instrumental in facilitating the change; (4) changes in people's behaviors begins to elicit changes in agency culture; and (5) collaborative partnerships was a key element of the change process. A significant concern that emerged was the continuous nature of change conjoined with the rapid tempo of change and the significant increase in workload responsibilities created limited opportunities for critical elements such as reflection and training. Recommendations are offered for other similarly situated government agencies contemplating organizational change.

description: We define the decomposition property for partial actions of discrete groups on $C^*$-algebras. Decomposable partial systems appear naturally in practice, and many commonly occurring partial actions can be decomposed into partial actions with the decomposition property. For instance, any partial action of a finite group is an iterated extension of decomposable systems. Partial actions with the decomposition property are always globalizable and amenable, regardless of the acting group, and their globalization can be explicitly described in terms of certain global sub-systems. A direct computation of their crossed products is also carried out. We show that partial actions with the decomposition property behave in many ways like global actions of finite groups (even when the acting group is infinite), which makes their study particularly accessible. For example, there exists a canonical faithful conditional expectation onto the fixed point algebra, which is moreover a corner in the crossed product in a natural way. (Both of these facts are in general false for partial actions of finite groups.) As an application, we show that freeness of a topological partial action with the decomposition property is equivalent to its fixed point algebra being Morita equivalent to its crossed product. We also show by example that this fails for general partial actions of finite groups.

description: We investigate harmonic maps in the context of isometric embeddings when the target space is Ricci-flat and has codimension one. With the help of the Campbell-Magaard theorem we show that any $n$-dimensional ($n\geqslant 3$) Lorentzian manifold can be isometrically and harmonically embedded in a (n+1)-dimensional semi-Riemannian Ricci-flat space. We then extend our analysis to the case when the target space is an Einstein space. Finally, as an example, we work out the harmonic and isometric embedding of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime in a five-dimensional Ricci-flat space and proceed to obtain a general scheme to minimally embed any vacuum solution of general relativity in Ricci-flat spaces with codimension one.

Estimating the Final Spin of Binary Black Holes Merger in STU Supergravity

description: In this paper, we adopt the so-called Buonanno-Kidder-Lehner (BKL) recipe to estimate the final spin of a rotating binary black hole merger in STU supergravity. According to the BKL recipe, the final spin can be viewed as the sum of the individual spins plus the orbital angular momentum of the binary system which could be approximated as the angular momentum of a test particle orbiting at the innermost stable circular orbit around the final black hole. Unlike previous works, we consider the contribution of the orbital angular momentum of the binary system to the final spin by requiring the test particle to preserve the scaling symmetry in the Lagrangian of supergravity. We find some subtle differences between two cases corresponding to whether the symmetry is taken into account or not. In the equal initial spin configuration, when the initial black holes are non-spinning, the final spin of the merger is always larger than that in the case in which the symmetry is not imposed although the general behaviors are similar. The difference increases firstly and then decreases as the initial mass ratio approaches unity. Besides, as the initial spins exceed a threshold, the final spin is always smaller than that in the case where the scaling symmetry is not considered. The difference decreases constantly as the equal initial mass limit is approached. All these features exist in the merger of a binary STU black hole with different charge configurations. We also study the final spin's difference between different charge configurations and different initial spin configurations.

description: The Transformer is widely used in natural language processing tasks. To train a Transformer however, one usually needs a carefully designed learning rate warm-up stage, which is shown to be crucial to the final performance but will slow down the optimization and bring more hyper-parameter tunings. In this paper, we first study theoretically why the learning rate warm-up stage is essential and show that the location of layer normalization matters. Specifically, we prove with mean field theory that at initialization, for the original-designed Post-LN Transformer, which places the layer normalization between the residual blocks, the expected gradients of the parameters near the output layer are large. Therefore, using a large learning rate on those gradients makes the training unstable. The warm-up stage is practically helpful for avoiding this problem. On the other hand, our theory also shows that if the layer normalization is put inside the residual blocks (recently proposed as Pre-LN Transformer), the gradients are well-behaved at initialization. This motivates us to remove the warm-up stage for the training of Pre-LN Transformers. We show in our experiments that Pre-LN Transformers without the warm-up stage can reach comparable results with baselines while requiring significantly less training time and hyper-parameter tuning on a wide range of applications.

description: We study the effect of primordial scalar curvature perturbations on the propagation of gravitational waves over cosmic distances. We point out that such curvature perturbations deform the isotropic spectrum of any stochastic background of gravitational waves of primordial origin through the (integrated) Sachs-Wolfe effect. Computing the changes in the amplitude and frequency of the propagating gravitational wave induced at linear order by scalar curvature perturbations, we show that the resulting deformation of each frequency bin of the gravitational wave spectrum is described by a linearly biased Gaussian with the variance $σ^2 \simeq \int d\ln k Δ_{\mathcal R}^2$, where $Δ_{\mathcal R}^2(k)$ denotes the amplitude of the primordial curvature perturbations. The linear bias encodes the correlations between the changes induced in the frequency and amplitude of the gravitational waves. Taking into account the latest bounds on $Δ_{\mathcal R}^2$ from primordial black hole and gravitational wave searches, we demonstrate that the resulting ${\mathcal O}(σ)$ deformation can be significant for extremely peaked gravitational wave spectra. We further provide an order of magnitude estimate for broad spectra, for which the net distortion is ${\mathcal O}(σ^2)$.

Disregarding the blocked exchanges: An examination of the Hudson casino application

Publisher: name: American University

description: On July 14, 1995, the Department of Interior denied the construction of a Native American Indian Casino in Hudson, Wisconsin. Three indigent tribes in Wisconsin, along with a dog track owner, Fred Havenick, submitted the proposal. Numerous tribes, mainly from Minnesota, opposed the development because of its potential to affect their casino revenues. Paul Eckstein, attorney for the Hudson casino development, contacted the Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt on the date of the denial. Eckstein alleged the Secretary informed him the denial would be issued because of half a million dollars were donated to Democratic Party entities by the tribes opposed to the casino. High-level political meetings appeared to be a major determinant in denying the casino (over favorable lower Bureau of Indian Affairs approval). In addition, it appeared the tribes that contributed money for campaign contributions, who were opposed to the casino development, were able to receive favorable treatment from the White House and the Department of Interior. This spurred a series of Federal investigations by Committees by the Senate, House, and Independent Counsel. The individual findings were mixed. The Independent Counsel Report, was primarily focused upon obtaining quid-pro-quo evidence. This was not found. However, upon re-examination of the evidence and examining additional information, a reasonable person may come to the conclusion political impropriety existed. The blocked exchange between money and politics, as described by Michael Walzer, was breached. The qualitative, historical case study method was utilized to examine this particular case. Memorandums, electronic mail, letters and testimony to the case were examined. In addition, interviews, of the Department of Interior, were conducted, along with other key actors. The project included a literature review of Michael Walzer's Spheres of Justice. In addition, a time line and glossary of the Hudson case were provided.

description: The two-layer disk models of Chiang & Goldreich (1997, henceforth CG) and its derivatives are popular among astronomers because of their simplicity and the clear predictions they make for the SEDs of T Tauri stars and Herbig Ae/Be stars. Moreover, they can be computed quickly, which is a great advantage when fitting observations using automated procedures. In this paper we wish to assess the accuracy and reliability of 2-layer models, by comparing them to detailed vertical structure models with accurate 1+1D radiative transfer. We focus on the shape of the SED, and the predicted height and "flaring index" of the disk. We first consider models where scattering is set to zero. We find that 2-layer models overestimate significantly the near-infrared flux, and we suggest a simple way of correcting this effect, at least in part. At longer wavelengths, the SED of two-layer models often show a two-bump structure, which is absent in 1+1D models. Nevertheless, overall agreement is reasonably good, and the differences are in most cases within 30%. At (sub)-mm wavelengths the differences may even be less. The shape of the disk, as measured by its pressure and surface scale height and by the flaring angle are also well reproduced by two-layer models. When scattering is included in the 1+1D models, the differences become larger, especially in the near-infrared. We suggest simple ways to include scattering in two-layer models and discuss their reliability. We do not compare the two-layer models to full 2-D/3-D models, so the conclusions remain valid only within the annulus-by-annulus approximation.

description: Das Anforderungs- und Wissensmanagement wird in kleinen und mittelständischen Unternehmen häufig in seiner Wichtigkeit unterschätzt. Vor allem das systematische Dokumentieren und Verwalten von Anforderungen, kann über Erfolg oder Misserfolg eines Projektes entscheiden. Werden Anforderungen nicht vollständig dokumentiert oder nicht an die relevanten Personen kommuniziert, kann es zu Abweichungen gegenüber dem ursprünglichen Kundenwunsch kommen, was im schlimmsten Fall zum Scheitern des Projekts führen kann. Stand heute werden überwiegend Office-basierte Softwarelösungen für die Dokumentation und Verwaltung von Informationen, Anforderungen und Aufgaben verwendet. Diese führen jedoch aufgrund ihres filebasierten Ansatzes zu häufigen Redundanzen oder unterschiedlichen Versionsständen, was zu Fehlern führt. Spezialisierte Softwarelösungen für das Verwalten von Anforderungen hingegen sind meist für Experten entwickelt worden und erfordern daher Schulungen und/oder neue Prozesse. Das schreckt viele Unternehmer davor ab derartige Lösungen in ihr Unternehmen zu integrieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit nimmt sich daher zum Ziel, ein Assistenzsystem zur kontextsensitiven Unterstützung eines anforderungs-basierten Wissensmanagements zu entwickeln, welches vor allem kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen befähigen soll, vollständige und standardisierte Anforderungs- und Wissensdokumentationen ohne aufwändige Schulungen oder Prozesse zu erstellen und zu verwalten. Die entwickelten Konzepte werden anhand einer prototypischen Implementierung evaluiert und die generelle Machbarkeit bewiesen.

 Barnard (1950: 188) and Waterhouse (1880: 489, 490) listed a total of 51 plates for the Mammalia (viz., 1–8, 8 bis, 8–17, 19–36, 38–52). Plates 18 and 37 were not published (Barnard 1950: 188; 1952: 408; Jentink 1893: 182; Waterhouse 1880: 489; and index to Mammalia volume).
 Barnard (1952: 408) clarified that there were a total of 52 Mammalia plates. The bound Mammalia volume contains 52 plates and an unnumbered index to the Mammalia volume (bound at the front of the volume we have examined), also lists 52 plates (1–17, 19–36, 38–53; 8 bis is not listed). The plate captions are numbered 1–8, 8 bis, 8–17, 19–36, 38–53.
 The date of publication of the last plate (the 52nd which was numbered as “53”) is not known and therefore cannot be placed in our table. The caption accompanying the plate states “ Scotophilus dinganii.—Smith. Mammalia.—Plate LIII. … Vespertilio Dinganii, Smith. —South African Quarterly Journal, New Series, vol. i. 1832 ”. As the name Vespertilio dinganii was first made available in Smith (1833: 59) which antedates the Mammalia in the Illustrations of the Zoology of South Africa (Smith 1838 –1849a), we see no need to seek an accurate date of publication for this plate.
It should also be noted that Nissen (1968: 385) stated that Mammalia plate 22 was not printed and that plate 23 was doubled. No other workers have mentioned this change in the Mammalia plates.

description: X-ray imaging allows for a non-invasive image of the internal structure of an object. The most common form of X-ray imaging, projectional radiography, is simply a projection or "shadow" of the object rather than a point-to-point image possible with a lens. This technique fails to take advantage of the resolving capabilities of short-wavelength X rays. Various X-ray microscopes, typically operating with soft X rays (< 10 keV), use focusing X-ray optics to obtain higher resolution images of the internal structure of an object. Due to the short focal length of focusing X-ray optics, it becomes difficult to focus on the internal structure of larger objects in such a way to provide significant magnification to be resolvable. Here we present an imaging mechanism that utilizes two-photon X-ray ghost imaging to produce a true point-to-point image of the internal structure of an object, with the potential to introduce focusing X-ray optics or a scintillator-lens pairing to produce a magnified secondary ghost image. The focusing X-ray optics would image the primary ghost image (which has no physical structure to it) allowing the imaging of internal structures deeper than a standard X-ray microscope would allow. In principle, once some experimental barriers are overcome, this X-ray "ghost microscope" may achieve nanometer spatial resolution and open up new capabilities that would be of interest to the fields of physics, material science, and medical imaging.

description: We investigate equilibrium properties of two very different stochastic collision models: (i) the Rayleigh particle and (ii) the driven Maxwell gas. For both models the equilibrium velocity distribution is a Lévy distribution, the Maxwell distribution being a special case. We show how these models are related to fractional kinetic equations. Our work demonstrates that a stable power-law equilibrium, which is independent of details of the underlying models, is a natural generalization of Maxwell's velocity distribution.

We find that PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12b approaches with "Tight" cutoffs are generally capable of reproducing canonical CCSD(T) interaction energies to within ~0.25% and isomerization energies to ~1.5%, while requiring only a fraction of the canonical computational cost. However, basis set convergence patterns and effect of counterpoise corrections are more erratic than for canonical calculations, highlighting the need for canonical benchmarks on closely related systems.

description: We discuss the status of resummation of large logarithmic contributions to groomed event shapes of hadronic final states in electron-positron annihilation. We identify the missing ingredients needed for next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNNLL) resummation of the mMDT groomed jet mass in $e^+e^-$ collisions: the low-scale collinear-soft constants at two-loop accuracy, $c_{S_c}^{(2)}$, and the three-loop non-cusp anomalous dimension of the global soft function, $γ_S^{(2)}$. We present a method for extracting those constants using fixed-order codes: the EVENT2 program to obtain the color coefficients of $c_{S_c}^{(2)}$, and MCCSM for extracting $γ_S^{(2)}$. We present all necessary formulae for resummation of the mMDT groomed heavy jet mass distribution at NNNLL accuracy.

description: Little Higgs theories, in which the Higgs particle is realized as the pseudo-Goldstone boson of an approximate global chiral symmetry have generated much interest as possible alternatives to weak scale supersymmetry. In this paper we analyze precision electroweak observables in the Minimal Moose model and find that in order to be consistent with current experimental bounds, the gauge structure of this theory needs to be modified. We then look for viable regions of parameter space in the modified theory by calculating the various contributions to the S and T parameters.

description: Taiwan is facing a biodiversity crisis with global impacts. For such a small region, Taiwan hosts 1.5 percent of the world's species, and one-tenth of the total marine species on earth. But Taiwan is on the edge of a full-scale biodiversity collapse. Habitat loss, overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, and invasive species are all shattering its fragile ecosystems. This dissertation explores how the impacts from Taiwan's limited participation in the global biodiversity governance system, and how Taiwan's ill-equipped domestic legal framework, impair Taiwan's ability to conserve its biodiversity. As discussed in Chapter 1, the interdependent nature of Taiwan's biodiversity makes it a matter of "common concern" under international law. Weak protection of Taiwan's biodiversity has global repercussions. For instance, Taiwan is an important, but unprotected, stop for birds migrating through the East Asia Pacific region. Chapter 2 reviews the major efforts within the global biodiversity governance system to resolve the biodiversity crisis. The effectiveness of the biodiversity governance system depends on strong treaties, international conservation organizations, and domestic conservation laws. However, Taiwan currently has a unique international legal status, where it is allowed to participate neither in international environmental treaties nor international conservation organizations. Chapter 3 discusses how Taiwan's unique legal status harms global conservation efforts. Furthermore, Taiwan's domestic legal framework is ill-equipped to address the biodiversity crisis. Chapter 4 examines the impacts of Taiwan's inadequate domestic conservation framework. In Chapter 5, this dissertation recommends practical approaches to overcome the challenges of protecting Taiwan's biodiversity. First, Taiwan must strengthen its domestic legal framework, particularly the Wildlife Conservation Law. Second, Taiwan should take steps to join the global biodiversity governance system. The concept of "ecological entity" could be a politically comfortable way to sidestep the unique status of Taiwan under international law. Although Taiwan lacks widespread international legal recognition, the fact that Taiwan is a global conservation priority region harboring globally significant biodiversity is undeniable. As part of a globally interdependent and interconnected ecosystem, Taiwan must be included in the global biodiversity governance system to ensure the future of Taiwan's biodiversity.

description: Antisocial behavior can be contagious, spreading from individual to individual and rippling through social networks. Moreover, it can spread not only through third-party influence from observation, just like innovations or individual behavior do, but also through direct experience, via "pay-it-forward" retaliation. Here, we distinguish between the effects of observation and victimization for the contagion of antisocial behavior by analyzing large-scale digital-trace data. We study the spread of cheating in more than a million matches of an online multiplayer first-person shooter game, in which up to 100 players compete individually or in teams against strangers. We identify event sequences in which a player who observes or is killed by a certain number of cheaters starts cheating, and evaluate the extent to which these sequences would appear if we preserve the team and interaction structure but assume alternative gameplay scenarios. The results reveal that social contagion is only likely to exist for those who both observe and experience cheating, suggesting that third-party influence and "pay-it-forward" reciprocity interact positively. In addition, the effect is present only for those who both observe and experience more than once, suggesting that cheating is more likely to spread after repeated or multi-source exposure. Approaching online games as models of social systems, we use the findings to discuss strategies for targeted interventions to stem the spread of cheating and antisocial behavior more generally in online communities, schools, organizations, and sports.

description: We construct a random matrix model for the bijection Ψbetween clas- sical and free infinitely divisible distributions: for every d\geq1, we associate in a quite natural way to each *-infinitely divisible distribution μa distribution P_d^μ on the space of d\times d Hermitian matrices such that P_d^μP_d^ν=P_d^{μ*ν}. The spectral distribution of a random matrix with distribution P_d^μ converges in probability to Ψ(μ) when d tends to +\infty. It gives, among other things, a new proof of the almost sure convergence of the spectral distribution of a matrix of the GUE and a projection model for the Marchenko-Pastur distribution. In an analogous way, for every d\geq1, we associate to each *-infinitely divisible distribution μ, a distribution L_d^μ on the space of complex (non-Hermitian) d\times d random matrices. If μis symmetric, the symmetrization of the spectral distribution of |M_d|, when M_d is L_d^μ-distributed, converges in probability to Ψ(μ).
