description: Using the Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework of single field inflation, we investigate the possibility of the formation of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) in the Slow Roll (SR) to Ultra Slow Roll (USR) sharp transition. We demonstrate that, due to one-loop correction to the power spectrum, causality is violated ($c_s>1$) for the mass range of PBHs, $M_{\rm PBH}>10^{2}{\rm gm}$ created during the said transition. We find that non-canonical features with $c_s<1$ worsen the predictions of the canonical framework of single-field inflation.

La sindrome del Paesaggista: intervista a Cristina Castel Branco

description: After the confirmation of European Convention on Landscape (2006), it became strictly urgent to define the role of Landscape Architect and to give an homogeneous acknowledgement of the professional activity in the matters of Territory’s Planning and Town Designing, in every European Country. A famous Portuguese Landscape Architect, Cristina Castel Branco, through this interview, explains which are the causes of such a delay to define a specific role af Landscape Architect as an indipendent and specialist activity from others that actually play the same role not having the proper cultural and scientific education to do so. In the opinion of Cristina Castel Branco, though, the main reasons are concerned about the different levels of education inside the Universities and Master Schools of any countries of Europe, because they can not assure an effective integration between the humanistic and Fine Arts Culture with the scientific and technological Culture.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The asymptotic structure of the Kohn-Sham exchange potential $v_x ({\bf r})$ in the classically forbidden region of a metal surface is investigated, together with that of the Slater exchange potential $V_x^S ({\bf r})$ and those of the approximate Krieger-Li-Iafrate $V_x^{KLI} ({\bf r})$ and Harbola-Sahni $W_x ({\bf r})$ exchange potentials. Particularly, the former is shown to have the form of $v_{x} (z \to \infty) = - α_x / z$ with $α_x$ a constant dependent only of bulk electron density. The same result in previous work is thus confirmed; in the meanwhile controversy raised recently gets resolved. The structure of the exchange hole $ρ_x ({\bf r}, {\bf r}')$ is examined, and the delocalization of it in the metal bulk when the electron is at large distance from the metal surface is demonstrated with analytical expressions. The asymptotic structures of $v_x ({\bf r})$, $V_x^S ({\bf r})$, $V_x^{KLI} ({\bf r})$, and $W_x ({\bf r})$ at a slab metal surface are also investigated. Particularly, $v_{x} (z \to \infty) = - 1/ z$ in the slab case. The distinction in this respect between the semi-infinite and the slab metal surfaces is elucidated.

Světlana: Rural Political Culture and Resistance in Postwar Czechoslovakia
Creators: name: Markham, Mira
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines the role of the wartime partisan movement in shaping anti-Communist resistance in Moravian Wallachia, a rural region in the easternmost corner of the Bohemian lands. The experience of partisan war in this region, as well as the prominence of former partisans in postwar public life, led to the development of a distinctive local political culture opposed to the bureaucratic power of the central state. Local grievances drove former partisans in Moravian Wallachia to mobilize networks and practices of resistance developed during wartime to challenge the consolidating Communist regime. Police agents also drew on partisan practices to reconstitute local opposition and resistance into a prosecutable conspiratorial network that could be understood within the framework of official ideology. Through the case of Světlana, a resistance network that emerged among former partisans in 1948, this paper situates both opposition and repression within a specific local context, demonstrating the complex interactions between state and society in the Czechoslovak countryside and providing a new perspective on the issue of anti-Communist resistance in Czechoslovakia during the Stalinist era.

description: The local environment and oxidation state of Mn impurity in strontium titanate doped with 3% Mn were studied by X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The influence of the preparation conditions on the incorporation of the impurity into the $A$ and $B$ sites was studied. It was established that Mn ions substituting for Ti are in the Mn$^{4+}$ oxidation state and on-center. Mn ions substituting for Sr are in the Mn$^{2+}$ oxidation state, are off-center and displaced from the lattice sites by $\sim$0.32 Å. It was demonstrated that studies of the X-ray absorption near-edge structure can be used to determine the concentration ratio of Mn atoms located at the $A$ and $B$ sites.

description: Passeggiata geomorfologica (Geomorphologic Walk) is a short and very attractive text by Delfino Insolera belonging to the noble category of the scientific trip literature. It is intended to combine naturalistic and anthropological aspects. A complex and passionate vision springs from that union, aimed to consider the landscape as a palimpsest of scientific, economic and social aspects contributing to its modelling and transforming. The topic of the Passeggiata geomorfologica concerns the relationship between Bologna and its south side hills, developed as a system linked to the Apennine Mountains and at the same time separated from it by the definite «great rocks precipice». Through that naturalistic accident our hilly system acquires a specific unity, structured as an authentic landscape resource.

description: The characterization of the distance from equilibrium is a debated problem in particular in the treatment of experimental signals. If the signal is a 1-dimensional time-series, such a goal becomes challenging. A paradigmatic example is the angular diffusion of a rotator immersed in a vibro-fluidized granular gas. Here, we experimentally observe that the rotator's angular velocity exhibits significative differences with respect to an equilibrium process. Exploiting the presence of two relevant time-scales and non-Gaussian velocity increments, we quantify the breakdown of time-reversal asymmetry, which would vanish in the case of a 1D Gaussian process. We deduce a new model for the massive probe, with two linearly coupled variables, incorporating both Gaussian and Poissonian noise, the latter motivated by the rarefied collisions with the granular bath particles. Our model reproduces the experiment in a range of densities, from dilute to moderately dense, with a meaningful dependence of the parameters on the density. We believe the framework proposed here opens the way to a more consistent and meaningful treatment of out-of-equilibrium and dissipative systems.

Geometrogenesis under Quantum Graphity: problems with the ripening Universe

Year: 2015

description: Quantum Graphity (QG) is a model of emergent geometry in which space is represented by a dynamical graph. The graph evolves under the action of a Hamiltonian from a high-energy pre-geometric state to a low-energy state in which geometry emerges as a coarse-grained effective property of space. Here we show the results of numerical modelling of the evolution of the QG Hamiltonian, a process we term "ripening" by analogy with crystallographic growth. We find that the model as originally presented favours a graph composed of small disjoint subgraphs. Such a disconnected space is a poor representation of our universe. A new term is introduced to the original QG Hamiltonian, which we call the hypervalence term. It is shown that the inclusion of a hypervalence term causes a connected lattice-like graph to be favoured over small isolated subgraphs.

description: The history of agrarian landscape combines different research perspectives. In this mosaic, historical study has its own peculiarities connected with the specific object of history (formal object) and therefore with investigation methodologies. By references to historiographic examples, this article illustrates the research perspective through which historical study investigates the agrarian landscape. Finally, the article describes some effects on the current context: the knowledge and understanding of agrarian landscape, and its past and present connections with agriculture, allows to tackle more properly some tricky issues such as, e.g., the extension of the notion of landscape protection to agrarian landscape.

description: The effectiveness of legislation in the field of landscape and territory has always been present in the work of Emilio Sereni: inspired by this, I decided to reconsider this aspect in the medieval period. The set of laws and rules, traced back in the period around 11th and 12th centuries, consisting of the "Libellus definitionum" is broadly confirmed by the analysis of the area around the nuclei of contemporary abbeys. After developing their plans - proving the effectiveness of the rule - I could extract the territorial design principles. Land management, proven by the distances between the various centres belonging to the same sector planning, are analysed to obtain an isochronic map, evidencing the relationship between the core structure and the related buildings and grounds, still detectable.

The Effects of Different Cupping Therapy Techniques on Hamstring Extensibility in College Age Males
Creators: name: Holt, Lauren
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Context: Hamstring injuries are one of the most common injuries in sports and have been connected to lack of flexibility.1 Several techniques have been researched but each has limitations in a clinical setting. Cupping therapy has limited research but provides clinical utility that needs further exploration. Objective: Examine the effects of movement and stationary cupping on hamstring range of motion (ROM). Design: Experimental cross-over. Patients: 41 physically-active males (age=20.9±1.0). Intervention: Participants were randomly assigned to the stationary or movement group. Treatments included: movement cupping, movement control, stationary cupping, and stationary control. Main Outcome Measures: 90/90 passive knee extension ROM and perceived tightness measured pre and post intervention. Results: For ROM, the comparison of means showed no significance for group (p=0.306) or treatment (p=0.072) interactions. Perceived tightness significantly improved from pre to post when comparing cupping to the controls (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Although ROM did not increase significantly, participants reported decreased tightness.

description: Architectural erosion is a recurrent problem in software evolution. Despite this fact, the process is usually tackled in ad hoc ways, without adequate tool support at the architecture level. To address this shortcoming, this paper presents a recommendation system -- called DCLfix -- that provides refactoring guidelines for maintainers when tackling architectural erosion. In short, DCLfix suggests refactoring recommendations for violations detected after an architecture conformance process using DCL, an architectural constraint language

description: Direct digital manufacturing is one of the key competencies for accelerating rapid prototyping or the production of individually designed products. Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a frequently used direct digital manufacturing tool for prototyping and production. In this work, the LIFT process was used to print anodes and cathodes which match each other regarding the areal capacity. For this purpose, the transferred voxel density of the anodes was adjusted to match the areal capacity of the cathodes. Subsequently, the electrodes were assembled as a full-cell in pouch cell design. At the end of the electrochemical priming, the cells reach a charge capacity of up to 151 mAh/g, and more than 400 cycles could be achieved at a C-rate of C/2, including the C-rate analysis, before reaching the end-of-life.
Incorporating Ion-Specific van der Waals and Soft Repulsive Interactions in the Poisson-Boltzmann Theory of Electrical Double Layers

description: Electrical double layers (EDLs) arise when an electrolyte is in contact with a charged surface, and are encountered in several application areas including batteries, supercapacitors, electrocatalytic reactors, and colloids. In the modeling of EDLs, a prominent knowledge gap has been the exclusion of van der Waals (vdW) and soft repulsive interactions in modified Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theories. Although more short-ranged as compared to electrostatic interactions, we show here that vdW interactions can play an important role in determining the structure of the EDL via the formation of a Stern layer and in modulating the differential capacitance of an electrode in solution. To this end, we incorporate ion-ion and wall-ion vdW attraction and soft repulsion via a 12-6 Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential, resulting in a modified PB-LJ approach. The wall-ion LJ interactions were found to have a significant effect on the electrical potential and concentration profiles, especially close to the wall. However, ion-ion LJ interactions do not affect the EDL structure at low bulk ion concentrations (< 1 M). We also derive dimensionless numbers to quantify the impact of ion-ion and wall-ion LJ interactions on the EDL. Furthermore, in the pursuit of capturing ion-specific effects, we apply our model by considering various combinations of ions. We observe how varying parameters such as the electrolyte concentration and electrode potential affect the structure of the EDL due to the competition between ion-specific LJ and electrostatic interactions. Lastly, we show that the inclusion of vdW and soft repulsion interactions as well as hydration effects lead to a better qualitative agreement of the PB models with experimental double-layer differential capacitance data. Overall, the modified PB-LJ approach presented herein will lead to more accurate theoretical descriptions of EDLs in various application areas.

Traveling waves in one-dimensional nonlinear models of strain-limiting viscoelasticity

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: In this article we investigate traveling wave solutions of a nonlinear differential equation describing the behaviour of one-dimensional viscoelastic medium with implicit constitutive relations. We focus on a subclass of such models known as the strain-limiting models introduced by Rajagopal. To describe the response of viscoelastic solids we assume a nonlinear relationship among the linearized strain, the strain rate and the Cauchy stress. We then concentrate on traveling wave solutions that correspond to the heteroclinic connections between the two constant states. We establish conditions for the existence of such solutions, and find those solutions, explicitly, implicitly or numerically, for various forms of the nonlinear constitutive relation.

Automating EHR-Based Reports to Understand Patient Transfers from the Emergency Department to Facilities Outside of a Healthcare System
Creators: name: James, Elaine Neal
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The electronic health record (EHR) is used in emergency departments to document patient care.  Data elements in the EHR can be structured or unstructured.  Before the implementation of this project, the reason a patient was transferred from the emergency department (ED) to a facility outside of the WakeMed healthcare system was recorded in an unstructured progress note.  Time-consuming manual chart reviews were required to identify why patients were being transferred.  The WakeMed executive team sought to understand the reasons for these transfers, to address concerns of patient satisfaction, patient safety, increased healthcare costs, and loss of revenues.      The purpose of this quality improvement project was to capture the primary reasons patients are being transferred to facilities outside of the WakeMed system using a structured data field, known as a SmartList, while avoiding increased workflow burden on the ED provider.  The data from SmartList was used to update a daily ED transfer report and improve the quality of the report by providing more thorough information about why patients are transferred.  This project had a mix of goals (electronic data capture, improved data quality) and challenges (large volume of patients makes it cumbersome to do manual chart reviews).        The Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) framework was the overall theoretical framework used to guide the project.  The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care was used to provide step-by-step guidance to make changes at the organization.  The SmartList was added to the EHR for use by ED providers to document the primary transfer reason.  A sample of 557 patient ED visits was evaluated after implementation of the new field.  A System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire was used to assess the ED provider’s perception of the usability of the new data field.  The ED providers found the SmartList usable and easy to learn.  Members of the executive team at the project site provided positive feedback regarding the updated daily report of transfers from the healthcare system.  Using the DIKW framework, we need to take the knowledge gained from projects similar to this and move to wisdom to meet the needs of the patients we serve.
title: Career information literacy and the decision-making behaviours of young people

description: The research reported in this thesis is concerned with young people’s career information literacy and information seeking for the purposes of career decision-making. The findings extend knowledge of the means by which young people in Scotland (aged 13-18) obtain career information relevant to their post-secondary career transitions.
A mixed multi methods, sequential explanatory design was employed in the research. This comprised three phases of empirical data collection: a preliminary phase, a quantitative phase, and a qualitative phase. These phases entailed the use of a questionnaire, interviews, and digital diaries. The empirical work was prefaced by the analysis of secondary data held by Skills Development Scotland in which collaborative dimensions of career information seeking were established.
As the first detailed account of young people’s information behaviour and use in the specific context of career decision-making, this doctoral work makes three contributions to research and theory:
1.
It articulates career information seeking as a two-stage process. Within this, the practice of socially-mediated information seeking with trusted, accessible contacts – including those who ‘prompt’ information seeking – plays an important role.
2.
It identifies two distinct career decision-making styles: (1) fulfilment-based; (2) pragmatic.
3.
It uncovers resilience as an information literacy skill.
There is one further contribution of the doctoral research:
4.
It presents a set of five recommendations for the development of policy and practice to support the provision of career services in Scotland.
The everyday life focus of the work, in which young people’s processes of information seeking and decision making are considered as sense-making, yields both conceptual value for library and information science research, and practical value for career guidance practice. The key contribution of the thesis is thus insight into two themes that have been overlooked in the extant body of work on information behaviour and career decision-making: career information seeking and career information literacy. Through the deployment of an interdisciplinary conceptual framework and the triangulation of its findings, the work functionally integrates facets of the information seeking process with the relevant tenets of the decision-making process to produce an understanding of young people’s sense-making in everyday life.

description: Contrary to field theoretical calculations in the thermodynamic limit where the volume is assumed to be infinitely large, the heavy-ion collisions always carry the effects of finite size. A sufficiently small system size is expected to affect the thermodynamic quantities and the phase diagram of the strongly interacting matter. To study these effects one can take into account the finite spatial extent of the system within the framework of an effective model too, via the restriction of the momentum integrals using discretization or in a simplified case using a low momentum cutoff. We investigated the effects of the finite volume in a vector meson extended Polyakov quark-meson model and found a remarkable change in the thermodynamics and the phase transition, especially in the location of the critical endpoint.

description: We study the sensitivity of the methods available for abundance determinations in H II regions to potential observational problems. We compare the dispersions they introduce around the oxygen and nitrogen abundance gradients when applied to five different sets of spectra of H II regions in the galaxy M81. Our sample contains 116 H II regions with galactocentric distances of 3 to 33 kpc, including 48 regions observed by us with the OSIRIS long-slit spectrograph at the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias telescope. The direct method can be applied to 31 regions, where we can get estimates of the electron temperature. The different methods imply oxygen abundance gradients with slopes of -0.010 to -0.002 dex kpc-1, and dispersions in the range 0.06-0.25 dex. The direct method produces the shallowest slope and the largest dispersion, illustrating the difficulty of obtaining good estimates of the electron temperature. Three of the strong-line methods, C, ONS, and N2, are remarkably robust, with dispersions of ~ 0.06 dex, and slopes in the range -0.008 to -0.006 dex kpc-1. The robustness of each method can be directly related to its sensitivity to the line intensity ratios that are more difficult to measure properly. Since the results of the N2 method depend strongly on the N/O abundance ratio and on the ionization parameter, we recommend the use of the C and ONS methods when no temperature estimates are available or when they have poor quality, although the behaviour of these methods when confronted with regions that have different properties and different values of N/O should be explored.

description: Rotating systems in thermal equilibrium are ubiquitous in our world. In the context of high energy physics, rotations would affect the phase structure of QCD. However, the standard Monte-Carlo methods in rotating systems are problematic because the chemical potentials for the angular momenta (angular velocities) cause sign problems even for bosonic variables. In this article, we demonstrate that the complex Langevin method (CLM) may overcome this issue. We apply the CLM to the Yang-Mills (YM) type one-dimensional matrix model (matrix quantum mechanics) that is a large-$N$ reduction (or dimensional reduction) of the $(D+1)$-dimensional U$(N)$ pure YM theory (bosonic BFSS model). This model shows a large-$N$ phase transition at finite temperature, which is analogous to the confinement/deconfinement transition of the original YM theory, and our CLM predicts that the transition temperature decreases as the angular momentum chemical potential increases. In order to verify our results, we compute several quantities via the minimum sensitivity method and find good quantitative agreements. Hence, the CLM properly works in this rotating system. We also argue that our results are qualitatively consistent with a holography and the recent studies of the imaginary angular velocity in QCD. As a byproduct, we develop an analytic approximation to treat the so-called ``small black hole" phase in the matrix model.

description: The territories that from the margins to the city center alternate in a disorganized and fragmented way, inevitably reveal a loss of the democratic, founded on principles of social equality and availability of resources, character on which the urban phenomenon was based. The search for (re) activation devices, interpreted in the same way as urban prototypes to be applied in a systematic way and to reiterate within the urban landscape, aims to indicate a re-strategy, a practice of re-signification and re-composition of the territory based on the creation of socially shared spaces of accumulation. The theme of urban accessibility is interpreted, then, as the key for four actions developed in difficult areas, which allow to define a practice of (re) activation directed towards the creation of new social habitats and new life cycles for declining places.

description: Particle filters are broadly used to approximate posterior distributions of hidden states in state-space models by means of sets of weighted particles. While the convergence of the filter is guaranteed when the number of particles tends to infinity, the quality of the approximation is usually unknown but strongly dependent on the number of particles. In this paper, we propose a novel method for assessing the convergence of particle filters online manner, as well as a simple scheme for the online adaptation of the number of particles based on the convergence assessment. The method is based on a sequential comparison between the actual observations and their predictive probability distributions approximated by the filter. We provide a rigorous theoretical analysis of the proposed methodology and, as an example of its practical use, we present simulations of a simple algorithm for the dynamic and online adaption of the number of particles during the operation of a particle filter on a stochastic version of the Lorenz system.

Il Playground come laboratorio di creatività e inclusione
Creators: name: Lauria, Antonio

Publisher: name: Ri-Vista

description: In general, play areas are highly standardised place that include a set of standardised equipments alien to the reference context, poor in stimuli and incapable of triggering fruitful social relationships. Playing activities are often repetitive, boring and mechanical, contributing in a somewhat limited extent (and ever counterproductive) to the development of the child and nurturing a passive and poor approach to play. Adequate play facilities for disabled children are not common. This article highlights the strategic role of the play for the well-being of children and analyses playground in ethical, social and architectural terms. It claims that playgrounds should be genuine ‘work of architecture’ well-grounded within the reference socio-cultural, environmental and architectural context and in ‘dialogue’ with nature. They should be able to encourage encounters and mutual enrichment between children that come from different walks of life through solutions able to fun, ease tensions and stimulate creativity, expression and self-knowledge.

description: The pairing correlation in nuclei causes a characteristic excitation, known as the pair vibration, which is populated by the pair transfer reactions. Here we introduce a new method of characterizing the pair vibration by employing an analogy to the Higgs mode, which emerges in infinite superconducting/superfluid systems as a collective vibrational mode associated with the amplitude oscillation of the Cooper pair condensate. The idea is formulated by defining a pair-transfer probe, the Higgs operator, and then describing the linear response and the strength function to this probe. We will show that the pair condensation energy in nuclei can be extracted with use of the strength sum and the static polarizability of the Higgs response. In order to demonstrate and validate the method, we perform for Sn isotopes numerical analysis based the quasi-particle random phase approximation to the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov model. We discuss a possibility to apply this new scheme to pair transfer experiment.

description: The Yang-Baxter equation has long been recognised as the masterkey to integrability, providing the basis for exactly solved models which capture the fundamental physics of a number of realistic classical and quantum systems. In this article we provide an introductory overview of the impact of Yang-Baxter integrable models on experiments in condensed matter physics and ultracold atoms. A number of prominent examples are mentioned, including the hard-hexagon model, the Heisenberg spin chain, the transverse quantum Ising chain, a spin ladder model, the Lieb-Liniger Bose gas, the Gaudin-Yang Fermi gas and the two-site Bose-Hubbard model. The review concludes by pointing to some other recent developments with promise for further progress.

description: Using Gaussian Processes we perform a thorough, non-parametric consistency test of the $Λ$CDM model when confronted with state-of-the-art TT, TE, and EE measurements of the anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background by the Planck, ACT, and SPT collaborations. Using $Λ$CDM's best-fit predictions to the TTTEEE data from Planck, we find no statistically significant deviations when looking for signatures in the residuals across the different datasets. The results of SPT are in good agreement with the $Λ$CDM best-fit predictions to the Planck data, while the results of ACT are only marginally consistent. However, when using the best-fit predictions to CamSpec -- a recent reanalysis of the Planck data -- as the mean function, we find larger discrepancies between the datasets. Our analysis also reveals an interesting feature in the polarisation (EE) measurements from the CamSpec analysis, which could be explained by a slight underestimation of the covariance matrix. Interestingly, the disagreement between CamSpec and Planck/ACT is mainly visible in the residuals of the TT spectrum, the latter favoring a scale-invariant tilt $n_s\simeq1$, which is consistent with previous findings from parametric analyses. We also report some features in the EE measurements captured both by ACT and SPT which are independent of the chosen mean function and could be hinting towards a common physical origin. For completeness, we repeat our analysis using the best-fit spectra to ACT+WMAP as the mean function. Finally, we test the internal consistency of the Planck data alone by studying the high and low-$\ell$ ranges separately, finding no discrepancy between small and large angular scales.

description: We show the natural embedding of weight lattices from a diagram folding is a virtualization map for the Littelmann path model, which recovers a result of Kashiwara. As an application, we give a type independent proof that certain Kirillov--Reshetikhin crystals respect diagram foldings, which is a known result on a special case of a conjecture given by Okado, Schilling, and Shimozono.

EFFECTS OF SEMANTIC ROLE PREDICTABILITY ON REFERENTIAL FORM CHOICE  IN EMOTION EVENTS WITH IMPLICIT CAUSALITY

description: Referential predictability has been shown to affect comprehension of ambiguous referents. However, the effects of predictability on pronoun production are not as evident. Many models of language production posit that reduced linguistic forms are used when referents are more predictable (e.g. Levy & Jaeger, 2007), yet in several studies using emotion events with implicit causality (e.g. Jacob impressed Dave because…), the predictability of the implicit cause had no effect on pronoun use (Fukumura & van Gompel, 2010; Kehler & Rohde, 2013). In contrast, other studies using transfer events (e.g. Jacob gave the book to Dave…) have found an effect of goal predictability on pronoun use (Arnold, 2001; Rosa & Arnold, 2017). Why is there a difference across verb types? Has the effect of referential predictability on pronoun use in emotion events with implicit causality been missed previously? In a novel story retelling paradigm (Part One), speakers did use more pronouns to refer to implicit causes versus non-causes, in support of a previously unobserved effect of referential predictability for implicit causes in emotion events. Further, these findings suggest that previous null findings for this event type were possibly due to different methodological requirements across verb types, suggesting avenues for future investigation. Part Two directly tested whether the semantic roles for the emotion events used in Part One affect judgments of who will be mentioned next, and found that they do, but that these judgments depend on the availability of the causal coherence relation. Importantly, the increased pronoun use for more predictable implicit causes further supports a role for referential predictability in a model of pronoun production. Finally, Part Three investigated production facilitation, through measures of planning and       production, as a mechanism through which predictability might affect referential form choice. While more predictable implicit causes were produced faster, there was no effect of production facilitation on referential form choice.
