description: We analyze the high-temperature behavior of the susceptibilities towards a number of possible ordered states in the t-J-V model using the high-temperature series expansion. From all diagrams with up to ten edges, reliable results are obtained down to temperatures of order J, or (with some optimism) to J/2. In the unphysical regime, tJ, these susceptibilities are small and decreasing with decreasing temperature; this suggests that the t-J model does not support high-temperature superconductivity. We also find modest evidence of a tendency toward nematic and d-density wave orders. ERRATUM: Due to an error in the calculation, the series for d-wave supeconducting and extended s-wave superconducting orders were incorrect. We recalculate the series and give the replacement figures. In agreement with our earlier findings, we still find no evidence of any strong enhancement of the superconducting susceptibility with decreasing temperature. However, because different Pade approximants diverge from each other at somewhat higher temperatures than we originally found, it is less clear what this implies concerning the presence or absence of high-temperature superconductivity in the t-J model.

description: We investigate 1-loop contributions to the 2- and 4-point correlation functions within a theory for fermions with mass dimension one with a simple quartic self-interaction term. The 1-loop divergence appearing the self-energy function can be consistently absorbed by renormalization of the mass parameter. In the case of the (1PI) 4-point correlation function, there is a surprising cancellation of divergences coming from different diagrams, leading to a finite 1-loop result. The inclusion of a complete basis of four-fermion interactions is discussed.

description: Η ναυτιλιακή βιομηχανία ήταν πάντα πηγή υπερηφάνειας για τους Έλληνες. Κατέχοντας περίπου το 18% της παγκόσμιας χωρητικότητας, οι Έλληνες εφοπλιστές μπορούν να θεωρηθούν ηγέτες στον κλάδο. Ωστόσο, οι προκλήσεις στον τομέα αυξάνονται, θέτοντας σε μια νέα δοκιμή τους Έλληνες εφοπλιστές που ήδη δραστηριοποιούνται σε μια εξαιρετικά ανταγωνιστική αγορά. Ταυτόχρονα, η Ελλάδα κινείται τόσο για την ανανέωση του δικτύου λιμένων της για την καλύτερη εξυπηρέτηση της ναυτιλιακής βιομηχανίας όσο και για τη βελτίωση της συνδεσιμότητάς της με την παγκόσμια αγορά μεταφορών. Η παρούσα παγκόσμια οικονομική κρίση είχε ισχυρό αντίκτυπο στη ναυτιλία. Μια δραστική πτώση των ναύλων και των χρόνων ήταν σχεδόν άμεσα ορατή στο τμήμα μεταφοράς φορτηγών. Ανεξάρτητα από το γεγονός ότι η παγκόσμια κρίση προκάλεσε επίσης πτώση των τιμών των καυσίμων, πολλές ναυτιλιακές εταιρείες βρέθηκαν σε μια πολύ δύσκολη θέση, αγωνιζόμενες να καλύψουν το κόστος τους. Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας είναι να μελετήσουμε και να αναλύσουμε τη σημασία της ναυτιλίας για την οικονομία, τόσο σε εγχώριο όσο και σε διεθνές επίπεδο και ειδικότερα στις περιόδους κρίσεων
description: The shipping industry has always been a source of pride for the Greeks. Occupying about 18% of the world capacity, Greek shipowners can be considered leaders in the industry. However, the challenges in the sector are increasing, putting to a new test the Greek shipowners who are already active in an extremely competitive market. At the same time, Greece is moving both to renew its port network to serve better the shipping industry and to improve its connectivity with the global transport market. The current global financial crisis has had a strong impact on shipping. A drastic drop in fares and times was almost immediately visible in the truck transport department. Despite the fact that the global crisis has also caused fuel prices to fall, many shipping companies have found themselves in a very difficult position, struggling to cover their costs. The purpose of this paper is to study and analyze the importance of shipping for the economy, both domestically and internationally and especially in periods of crisis

description: HD 62658 (B9p V) is a little-studied chemically peculiar star. Light curves obtained by the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) show clear eclipses with a period of about 4.75 d, as well as out-of-eclipse brightness modulation with the same 4.75 d period, consistent with synchronized rotational modulation of surface chemical spots. High-resolution ESPaDOnS circular spectropolarimetry shows a clear Zeeman signature in the line profile of the primary; there is no indication of a magnetic field in the secondary. PHOEBE modelling of the light curve and radial velocities indicates that the two components have almost identical masses of about 3 M$_\odot$. The primary's longitudinal magnetic field $\langle B_z \rangle$ varies between about $+100$ and $-250$ G, suggesting a surface magnetic dipole strength $B_{\rm d} = 850$~G. Bayesian analysis of the Stokes $V$ profiles indicates $B_{\rm d} = 650$~G for the primary and $B_{\rm d} < 110$ G for the secondary. The primary's line profiles are highly variable, consistent with the hypothesis that the out-of-eclipse brightness modulation is a consequence of rotational modulation of that star's chemical spots. We also detect a residual signal in the light curve after removal of the orbital and rotational modulations, which might be pulsational in origin; this could be consistent with the weak line profile variability of the secondary. This system represents an excellent opportunity to examine the consequences of magnetic fields for stellar structure via comparison of two stars that are essentially identical with the exception that one is magnetic. The existence of such a system furthermore suggests that purely environmental explanations for the origin of fossil magnetic fields are incomplete.

description: In terms of merciless competition, the complex requirements of customers/ users and complex products/services, the importance of gaining personal sales as an instrument of promotional mix rises. In these new circumstances, sales are no longer based on the manipulation, but on providing information, solving specific problems and bargaining. The development philosophy of personal selling involves three basic assumptions: the acceptance of marketing ideas, sales and evaluation of personal selling and taking up the role of the one who offers a solution to the problem and thus becomes a partner with the customer. As an imperative goal for providers of goods and services in today's market imposes on the strategic and consultative sales with added value (range of creative improvements in the sales process that deepens the customers' experience). The seller creates added value by being in the sales conversation with a customer establishing of trust (based on two-way communication), carefully discovering their needs and offering superior solutions. The model of strategic-advisory sales development includes five steps: personal sales philosophy, a strategy for establishing relations, product strategy, the strategy of winning over customers and strategy presentations. By applying strategic and advisory model, the performance of economic entities operating on the territory of Serbia can be improved in a relatively short period of time (with minimal investment). Consequently, the competitiveness of the entire economy is also improved.

description: We are developing an ultra-wideband spectroscopic instrument, DESHIMA (DEep Spectroscopic HIgh-redshift MApper), based on the technologies of an on-chip filter-bank and Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) to investigate dusty star-burst galaxies in the distant universe at millimeter and submillimeter wavelength. An on-site experiment of DESHIMA was performed using the ASTE 10-m telescope. We established a responsivity model that converts frequency responses of the MKIDs to line-of-sight brightness temperature. We estimated two parameters of the responsivity model using a set of skydip data taken under various precipitable water vapor (PWV, 0.4-3.0 mm) conditions for each MKID. The line-of-sight brightness temperature of sky is estimated using an atmospheric transmission model and the PWVs. As a result, we obtain an average temperature calibration uncertainty of $1σ=4$%, which is smaller than other photometric biases. In addition, the average forward efficiency of 0.88 in our responsivity model is consistent with the value expected from the geometrical support structure of the telescope. We also estimate line-of-sight PWVs of each skydip observation using the frequency response of MKIDs, and confirm the consistency with PWVs reported by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.

description: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) represent the key determinant of productivity growth, poverty reduction and living standards improvement. ICTs have an effect on improving the production process, accessing new markets, as well as promoting competitiveness of companies and countries. Since 2001, the dynamics of ICTs implementation on a country level has been monitored by The Global Information Technology Report, thereby contributing to general awareness about possibilities of their usage in everyday life and work. The Report consists of four parts, including one named Networked Readiness Index (NRI). NRI includes decisions about access to and usage of available ICT infrastructure, as well as available digital resources including both software and skills. Given that NRI facilitates identification of areas needing economic and development policies intervention, this paper emphasizes the impact of a country networked readiness on improving the SMEs collaborativeness.

description: We use a set of experiments to study the effects of forced military service for a rebel group on social capital. We examine the case of Northern Uganda, where recruits did not selfselect nor were systematically screened by rebels. We find that individual cooperativeness robustly increases with length of soldiering, especially among those who soldiered during early age. Parents of ex-soldiers are aware of the behavioral difference: they trust exsoldiers more and expect them to be more trustworthy. These results suggest that the impact of child soldiering on social capital, in contrast to human capital, is not necessarily detrimental

description: To better address the heating issue in stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions, we directly measure temperature of the stack by using a micron-sized thermocouple which is in direct thermal- and electrical contact to the stack, exactly in the place where the bias current is injected. Our measurements have shown that the temperature of the stack can reach 200-300K at the highest bias. Thus, we confirm experimentally that the Joule self-heating is a severe problem in intrinsic-junction-spectroscopy experiments. The pseudogap features reported in our previous paper (A.Yurgens etal, PRL 90, 147005 (2003)) are indeed an artifact of Joule heating. The detailed measurements of the temperature of the stacks at different ambient temperatures T0 allow us to deduce the unique, "heating-free" I(V)-, or dI/dV(V) curves.

description: Since the crisis is not solved by removing consequences for its causes, the background paper is in the discovery and analysis of direct and indirect causes of the current crisis to deepen understanding, thereby reducing the likelihood of the outbreak of new crises in the future. Forms and reasons for the crisis have been different each time, but what is essentially remained the same is limitless greed and the desire of financial institutions to earn multi-million commission by taking risky and more profitable investments, the use of new and untried financial structures, through greed and quick response. Man has never been so busy and accelerated but at the same time uncertain and worried about their livelihoods due to the global financial crisis, which quickly turned into an economic crisis, with the first signs of social crisis.

description: Temperature dependent studies of the 1/2(hk0) superlattice reflections αspots by synchrotron x-ray scattering measurements were performed in (PMN) and (PMN-xPT) with Ti doping x<0.32 single crystals. Separation of the αspots from the underlying diffuse scattering background allowed studying them as separate entities for the first time. Structure factor calculations have shown that alpha spots constitute the presence of a new kind of anti-ferrodistortive nanoregions (AFR) in the form of fluctuations produced by anti-parallel short-range correlated <110> Pb^2+ displacements. AFR appear to be different and unrelated to the chemical nanodomains (CND) and ferroelectric polar nanoregions (PNR). Simultaneous presence of AFR and PNR can explain relaxor behavior as a result of competition between randomly occurring ferroelectric and anti-ferroelectric fluctuations. Temperature dependence of the αspots in PMN showed a direct correlation with the freezing phase transition near Tf~220 K.

Technical skills in high school clothing courses
Creators: name: Bodfish, Crystal
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This paper focuses on technical skills that are part of the curriculum in Home Economics, Clothing Construction, Textile Studies, and Fashion Design courses. It explains the need for resources to support teaching technical skills, explores available resources for teachers, and provides an outline of how technical skills can be taught through meaningful learning experiences. Technical skills are an important component of clothing courses, yet many home economics teachers have had limited access to acquiring them and are constantly seeking resources to support their teaching. Two current textbooks for clothing construction courses and five clothing course curriculum documents from across Canada were analyzed to determine which technical skills are currently recommended for high school. The analysis determined that specific directions on how to teach and learn technical skills were lacking. Therefore, a master list of technical skills (that are either mentioned or implied in the required learning outcomes across the curricula) was created and resources were found to assist teachers in learning and teaching these skills. This is presented as a handbook that can be separated from the main document and shared with teachers. In this paper, it is advocated that technical skills in clothing courses be taught through meaningful learning experiences and this is emphasized in the handbook.

description: An analysis of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry in light-cone field theory is presented. The non-locality inherent to light-cone field theory requires revision of the standard procedure in the derivation of Ward-Takahashi identities. We derive the general structure of chiral Ward-Takahashi identities and construct them explicitly for various model field theories. Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relations and relations between fermion propagators and the structure functions of Nambu-Goldstone bosons are discussed and the necessary modifications of the Ward-Takahashi identities due to the axial anomaly are indicated.

description: The importance of natural resources as a factor of economic development in modern business environment is primarily determined by exhaustiveness of non-renewable resources and their extremely uneven territorial allocation. This stance is not seriously challenged by advances in the knowledge economy, in which innovations in their broadest context represent a key generator of the economic growth. Given the designated ascertainments, this paper observes the relations in a triangle: natural resources – sustainable development – the knowledge economy.

description: We report on the XMM-Newton timing properties of the most X-ray variable, radio-quiet, NLS1 IRAS 13224-3809. IRAS 13224-3809 continues to display the extremely variable behavior that was previously observed with ROSAT and ASCA; however, no giant, rapid flaring events are observed. We detect variations by a factor as high as ~8 during the 64 ks observation, and the variability is persistent throughout the light curve. Dividing the light curve into 9 minute segments we found almost all of the segments to be variable at > 3 sigma. When the time-averaged cross-correlation function is calculated for the 0.3-0.8 keV band with the 3-10 keV band, the cross-correlation profile is skewed indicating a possible smearing of the signal to longer times (soft band leading the hard). A correlation between count rate and hardness ratio is detected in four energy bands. In three cases the correlation is consistent with spectral hardening at lower count rates which can be explained in terms of a partial-covering model. The other band displays the reverse effect, showing spectral hardening at higher count rates. We can explain this trend as a more variable power-law component compared to the soft component. We also detect a delay between the 0.3-1.5 keV count rate and the 0.8-1.5 keV to 0.3-0.8 keV hardness ratio, implying flux induced spectral variability. Such delays and asymmetries in the cross correlation functions could be suggesting reprocessing of soft and hard photons. In general, much of the timing behavior can be attributed to erratic eclipsing behavior associated with the partial covering phenomenon, in addition to intrinsic variability in the source. The variability behavior of IRAS 13224-3809 suggests a complicated combination of effects which we have started to disentangle with this present analysis.

description: Financial literacy programs are popular, despite recent research showing no significant changes to savings behavior. We experimentally test the impact of financial literacy training on clients of a branchless banking program that offers doorstep access to banking to low income households. The intervention had significant impacts: savings in the treatment group increased by 29% ($27) within a period of one year. The increase in savings is due in part to decreases in expenditures on temptation goods. These results suggest that financial education interventions, when paired with banking experience, can be successful in changing savings outcomes.

description: For a model glass-former we demonstrate via computer simulations how macroscopic dynamic quantities can be inferred from a PEL analysis. The essential step is to consider whole superstructures of many PEL minima, called metabasins, rather than single minima. We show that two types of metabasins exist: some allowing for quasi-free motion on the PEL (liquid-like), the others acting as traps (solid-like). The activated, multi-step escapes from the latter metabasins are found to dictate the slowing down of dynamics upon cooling over a much broader temperature range than is currently assumed.

description: The three major credit rating agencies of the world for many years have an important impact on global financial trends. On their evaluation, conditions under which the states and other entities can borrow the money through the capital market significantly depend. Until the outbreak of financial crisis in 2008, which is relocated from the U.S. to the rest of the world, the participants in the financial market are unconditionally believed in assessments of credit rating agencies and no one noticed a conflict of interest in their business. The financial crisis has contributed to re-examine the role and importance of credit rating agencies in the global financial market. The paper discusses the current developments in the financial markets and extracts the key factors that have contributed to the credit rating agencies to become, from the extremely powerful and respected institution, institutions that are accused of abuse of monopoly and lack of professionalism in their work.
Microwave conductivity of a d-wave superconductor disordered by extended impurities: a real-space renormalization group approach

description: Using a real-space renormalization group (RSRG) technique, we compute the microwave conductivity of a d-wave superconductor disordered by extended impurities. To do this, we invoke a semiclassical approximation which naturally accesses the Andreev bound states localized near each impurity. Tunneling corrections (which are captured using the RSRG) lead to a delocalization of these quasiparticles and an associated contribution to the microwave conductivity.

description: Securities are documents that promise the payment of money, interest, profits or dividends. Securities are documents of a civil property right that is closely related to that security and whose usage is conditioned by having that document. Securities imply a series of written documents or documents where appropriate property right, which can be used only under condition of the legal ownership, is incorporated. Securities in the narrow sense refer to investment instruments, in other words, they refer to those securities where there is investment risk that compensates for potential profits. This paper deals with the trade of securities. The term trade of securities, in accordance with the Law on Securities, implies the sale or purchase of securities between the issuer and the customer directly or through intermediaries (primary market) and each subsequent purchase and sale of securities between the holder and the buyer of securities, directly or through intermediaries (secondary market). Why the trade of securities became so topical, is a question that can be answered in two ways. Namely, the more intense social disorder, due to the economic crisis, imposes the natural need for active planning of future so that by investments it is tried to provide a more secure financial perspective.

Evidence of Planetesimal infall on to the very young Herbig Be star LkH$_α$234

description: We report here the first evidence for planetesimal infall onto the very young Herbig Be star LkH$_α$234. These results are based on observations acquired over 31 days using spectroscopy of the sodium D lines, the He I 5876Å, and hydrogen H$_α$ lines. We find Redshifted Absorption Components (RAC) with velocities up to 200 km/s and very mild Blueshifted Absorption Components (BEC) up to 100 km/s in the Na I lines. No correlation is observed between the appearance of the Na I RAC & BEC and the H$_α$ and He I line variability, which suggests that these (Na I RAC & BEC) are formed in a process unrelated to the circumstellar gas accretion. We interpret the Na I RAC as evidence for an infalling evaporating body, greater than 100 km in diameter, which is able to survive at distances between 2.0 to 0.1 AU from the star. The dramatic appearance of the sodium RAC and mild BEC is readily explained by the dynamics of this infalling body making LkH$_α$234 the youngest (age $\sim$ 0.1 Myr) system with evidence for the presence of planetesimals.

title: SOX2: Functional analysis using mouse mutants
Creators: name: McIntyre Bell, Donald
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: The Sox genes are a large group of transcription factors with representatives in all animal species and initial investigations have demonstrated the importance of many members of this family during embryogenesis.

The expression pattern of Sox2 was surveyed in the second half of gestation by examining the X-gal staining pattern of Sox2Bgeo-/+ embryos in wholemount and section immunohistochemistry using a SOX2 specific polyclonal antibody. Particular attention was given to the pattern in the developing inner ear and in the hair follicle. Expression suggests that Sox2 plays significant roles in a diverse range of tissues throughout embryogenesis.

The null mutation of Sox2 demonstrates a critical requirement for this gene in embryogenesis but early lethality of Sox2Bgeo-/+ embryos precludes study at later stages. A strategy to produce a conditionally null allele of Sox2 was devised to circumvent the early lethality and allow functional investigation of Sox2 in a tissue specific and/or time dependent manner throughout embryogenesis and post-natally. Initial attempts to target the Sox2 allele were unsuccessful but redesigning the targeting vector resulted in the production of correctly targeted ES cells. Targeted clones were used to produce high percentage chimeras but the ES cell component did not contribute to subsequent generations.

 Two mouse mutants, Lcc and Ysb display abnormalities in inner ear and coat formation. Expression analysis and physical mapping implicate Sox2 as a strong candidate affected by these alleles. The creation of mice carrying combinations of Sox2Bgeo-/+, Lcc and Ysb mutations showed that they are allelic and that inner ear and coat abnormalities are caused predominantly by the loss of expression of Sox2. Congenic breeding of Sox2Bgeo-/+ mice onto a C3H/He background revealed heterozygous coat phenotypes confirming an important role for Sox2 in hair formation.

The closely related gene Sox1 is co-expressed along with Sox2 during CNS development and physical similarities between their protein products suggest overlapping functions able to compensate for the loss of either gene. Breeding experiments demonstrate an increase in the rate of mortality far greater than that expected by the addition of individual phenotypes. Immunohistochemical analysis reveals aberrant cell behaviour in CNS progenitor cell populations carrying the most severe genotype and suggests some common function between these genes during CNS development.

description: $α$-GeTe(111) is a non-centrosymmetric ferroelectric material, for which a strong spin-orbit interaction gives rise to giant Rashba split states in the bulk and at the surface. The detailed dispersions of the surface states inside the bulk band gap remains an open question because they are located in the unoccupied part of the electronic structure, making them inaccessible to static angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We show that this difficulty can be overcome via in-situ potassium doping of the surface, leading to a rigid shift of 80 meV of the surface states into the occupied states. Thus, we resolve in great detail their dispersion and highlight their crossing at the $\barΓ$ point, which, in comparison with density functional theory calculations, definitively confirms the Rashba mechanism.

description: The objective of this dissertation was first the investigation of the idealistic perceptions of high school students and secondarily their correlation with the level of knowledge in Natural Sciences. The students’ views were investigated using a questionnaire with mostly closed-ended questions that included a) questions that explore students' idealistic perceptions; b) questions related to the subjects mainly of Chemistry and to a lesser extent of Physics and Mathematics which were based on the current school curriculum and c) questions about scientific discoveries, which when presented helped mankind to be freed of obscurantism and superstition. Participants were students of senior high-school attending schools in urban or rural areas, as well as private and an experimental school. This stratification of the schools aims at a better understanding of the effects that socio-economic factors play in the formation and preservation of beliefs related to both everyday practice and scientific knowledge
