description: The Economic Research Service (ERS) of USDA is accepting proposals for fiscal year 2010 for economic research in three broad areas related to U.S. agricultural participation in proposed greenhouse gas markets. The research should focus on the economics of agricultural activities and practices, including agricultural land use, that increase carbon sequestration or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, together referred to as “greenhouse gas reductions.” Proposals must focus on U.S. agriculture. Of particular interest is research on (1) estimates of supply curves of greenhouse gas reductions from U.S. agriculture, (2) the integrity of agricultural greenhouse gas reductions procured through markets, including provisions designed to enhance this integrity; and (3) the role of non-neoclassical behavior in the provision of agricultural greenhouse gas reductions through markets. ERS will accept proposals under this program for funding levels of up to $150,000 for a period not to exceed 3 years. Total funding available for this research is approximately $500,000. The deadline for proposal submission is June 14, 2010.

description: In Frankreich und Deutschland war Abtreibung über Jahrhunderte hinweg als Straftat kodifiziert. Zwar setzten die Auseinandersetzungen um die selbstbestimmte Mutterschaft schon im 19. Jahrhundert ein, doch bis zur Liberalisierung sollte es noch lange dauern. Dieser Beitrag nimmt die entscheidenden Entwicklungen des Abtreibungsrechts in den 1970er-Jahren in den Blick und zeigt, unter welchen gesellschaftlichen und politischen Gegebenheiten es in Frankreich und der BRD zu rechtlichen Veränderungen kam. Dabei werden die Akteure, ihre Zielsetzungen und Aktionsformen analysiert und es kommen (rechts)historische und rechtsvergleichende Methoden zur Anwendung. Das Jahr 1971 ist als ‚Schaltjahr‘ zu sehen.
The $ϕ$ meson width in the medium from proton induced $ϕ$ production in nuclei

Year: 2004

description: We perform calculations for the production of $ϕ$ mesons in nuclei at energies just above threshold and study the $A$ dependence of the cross section. We use results for the $ϕ$ selfenergy in the medium obtained within a chiral unitary approach. We find a strong $A$ dependence which is tied to the distortion of the incident proton and to the absorption of the $ϕ$ in its way out of the nucleus. The effect of this latter process reduces the cross section in about a factor two in heavy nuclei proving that the $A$ dependence of the cross section bears valuable information on the $ϕ$ width in the nuclear medium. Calculations are done for energies which are accessible in an experimental facility like COSY.

On the Apparent Convergence of Perturbative QCD at High Temperature

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The successive perturbative estimates of the pressure of QCD at high temperature T show no sign of convergence, unless the coupling constant g is unrealistically small. Exploiting known results of an effective field theory which separates hard (order 2 pi T) and soft (order gT) contributions, we explore the accuracy of simple resummations which at a given loop order systematically treat hard contributions strictly perturbatively, but soft contributions without truncations. This turns out to improve significantly the two-loop and the three-loop results in that both remain below the ideal-gas value, and the degree of renormalization scale dependence decreases as one goes from two to three loop order, whereas it increases in the conventional perturbative results. Including the four-loop logarithms recently obtained by Kajantie et al., we find that this trend continues and that with a particular sublogarithmic constant the untruncated four-loop result is close to the three-loop result, which itself agrees well with available lattice results down to temperatures of about 2.5 T_c. We also investigate the possibility of optimization by using a variational (``screened'') perturbation theory in the effective theory. At two loops, this gives a result below the ideal gas value, and also closer to lattice results than the recent two-loop hard-thermal-loop-screened result of Andersen et al. While at three-loop order the gap equation of dimensionally reduced screened perturbation theory does not have a solution in QCD, this is remedied upon inclusion of the four-loop logarithms.

description: We consider the effect of an array of plates or beams over a semi-infinite elastic ground on the propagation of elastic waves hitting the interface. The plates/beams are slender bodies with flexural resonances at low frequencies able to perturb significantly the propagation of waves in the ground. An effective model is obtained using asymptotic analysis and homogenization techniques, which can be expressed in terms of the ground alone with effective dynamic (frequency-dependent) boundary conditions of the Robin's type. For an incident plane wave at oblique incidence, the displacement fields and the reflection coefficients are obtained in closed forms and their validity is inspected by comparison with direct numerics in a two-dimensional setting.

Providing context for understanding: the data life cycle
Creators: name: Hamilton, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2005

description: The identification and capture of products generated over the data life course are critical to documenting the history of a survey. During the stages from identification of a data gap through to data analysis and interpretation, large surveys generate many different products relating to the design, data capture, and processing of the data. Training manuals, for example, provide information on the conduct of an interviewer and, in some cases, that knowledge is critical to the interpretation of the survey results. Reports with recommendations arising from the field testing of survey methodologies and instruments highlight limitations of a survey methodology in more detail than are normally present in the user manual. Using the examples of recent Statistics Canada surveys, such as the National Population Health Survey and the Canadian Community Health Survey, this paper will examine some of the products of the data life course. In archiving, documenting, and using survey data, IASSIST members should be searching out these products to permit a more meaningful understanding of the data.

Propagation of signals in spaces with affine connections and metrics as models of space-time
Creators: name: Manoff, Sawa
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The propagation of signals in space-time is considered on the basis of the notion of null (isotropic) vector field in spaces with affine connections and metrics as models of space or of space-time. The Doppler effect is generalized for these types of spaces. The notions of aberration, standard (longitudinal) Doppler effect, and transversal Doppler effect are considered. On their grounds, the Hubble effect appears as Doppler effect with explicit forms of the centrifugal (centripetal) and Coriolis velocities and accelerations. Doppler effect, Hubble effect, and aberration could be used in mechanics of continuous media and in other classical field theories in the same way as the standard Doppler effect is used in classical and relativistic mechanics.

description: Annihilating dark matter particles produce roughly as much power in electrons and positrons as in gamma ray photons. The charged particles lose essentially all of their energy to inverse Compton and synchrotron processes in the galactic environment. We discuss the diffuse signature of dark matter annihilations in satellites of the Milky Way (which may be optically dark with few or no stars), providing a tail of emission trailing the satellite in its orbit. Inverse Compton processes provide X-rays and gamma rays, and synchrotron emission at radio wavelengths might be seen. We discuss the possibility of detecting these signals with current and future observations, in particular EGRET and GLAST for the gamma rays.

Moralized rationality: Relying on logic and evidence in the formation and evaluation of belief can be seen as a moral issue

description: Copyright © 2016 Ståhl et al.This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. In the present article we demonstrate stable individual differences in the extent to which a reliance on logic and evidence in the formation and evaluation of beliefs is perceived as a moral virtue, and a reliance on less rational processes is perceived as a vice. We refer to this individual difference variable as moralized rationality. Eight studies are reported in which an instrument to measure individual differences in moralized rationality is validated. Results show that the Moralized Rationality Scale (MRS) is internally consistent, and captures something distinct from the personal importance people attach to being rational (Studies 1-3). Furthermore, the MRS has high test-retest reliability (Study 4), is conceptually distinct from frequently used measures of individual differences in moral values, and it is negatively related to common beliefs that are not supported by scientific evidence (Study 5). We further demonstrate that the MRS predicts morally laden reactions, such as a desire for punishment, of people who rely on irrational (vs. rational) ways of forming and evaluating beliefs (Studies 6 and 7). Finally, we show that the MRS uniquely predicts motivation to contribute to a charity that works to prevent the spread of irrational beliefs (Study 8). We conclude that (1) there are stable individual differences in the extent to which people moralize a reliance on rationality in the formation and evaluation of beliefs, (2) that these individual differences do not reduce to the personal importance attached to rationality, and (3) that individual differences in moralized rationality have important motivational and interpersonal consequences.

description: Nanophotonics has garnered intensive attention due to its unique capabilities in molding the flow of light in the subwavelength regime. Metasurfaces (MSs) and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) enable the realization of mass-producible, cost-effective, and highly efficient flat optical components for imaging, sensing, and communications. In order to enable nanophotonics with multi-purpose functionalities, chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) have been introduced as a promising platform for tunable and reconfigurable nanophotonic frameworks. Integration of non-volatile chalcogenide PCMs with unique properties such as drastic optical contrasts, fast switching speeds, and long-term stability grants substantial reconfiguration to the more conventional static nanophotonic platforms. In this review, we discuss state-of-the-art developments as well as emerging trends in tunable MSs and PICs using chalcogenide PCMs. We outline the unique material properties, structural transformation, electro-optic, and thermo-optic effects of well-established classes of chalcogenide PCMs. The emerging deep learning-based approaches for the optimization of reconfigurable MSs and the analysis of light-matter interactions are also discussed. The review is concluded by discussing existing challenges in the realization of adjustable nanophotonics and a perspective on the possible developments in this promising area.

description: New interactions with Lorentz scalar structure, arising from physics beyond the standard model of electroweak interactions, will induce effective pseudoscalar interactions after renormalization by weak interaction loop corrections. Such induced pseudoscalar interactions are strongly constrained by data on $π^\pm \to l^\pm ν_l$ decay. These limits on induced pseudoscalar interactions imply limits on the underlying fundamental scalar interactions that in many cases are substantially stronger than limits on scalar interactions from direct Beta-decay searches.

description: This dissertation focuses on China's propaganda in the English-language press from 1928-the establishment of the Nanjing government-to 1941-the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Without a proper news infrastructure, the Guomindang government had to rely on the English-language treaty-port press, a credible source of information for foreign audiences, to present its case abroad. Yet extraterritoriality and the transnational media environment, as well as the underlying tensions among news groups representing different interests made it difficult for the government to regulate the treaty-port press. To harness this medium, the government attempted to limit the extraterritorial privileges of foreign journalists through the postal service and the threat of deportation. Chiang Kai-shek also approached the bilingual Chinese elite, particularly the US-trained Chinese journalist Hollington Tong, to tighten his connections with the foreign journalists. With Chiang's support, Tong built a centralized propaganda system after 1937 and used his treaty-port news networks to strengthen the government's propaganda efforts during the Sino-Japanese war. This study argues that propaganda was an important means for the Guomindang government to resist Japan's threat to its territorial integrity and to restore its legal sovereignty in the absence of a strong military and economic capacity. The development of China's propaganda system was a transnational and trans-social process, shaped in part by the treaty-port English-language press in China and facilitated by the cooperation between bilingual elites and propaganda officials. This project combines examination of the government's news policies and personal networks with analysis of reports in key English-language papers. It traces the interaction between news policy and newspapers and reveals the intricate power struggles among empires in China. It also provides an alternative interpretation to the perceived passivity of China's propaganda apparatus during the conflict with Japan.
Survey metadata documentation

description: There are many reasons to capture metadata about the survey life cycle, including to facilitate replication, reduce incorrect use of data and facilitate secondary analysis, reduce administrative burden, meet contractual obligations, and ease archiving of survey information and materials. There are an equal number of obstacles to capturing metadata, including time and cost constraints, the complexity of computer assisted survey systems and instruments, and the lack of adequate tools for documenting the survey life cycle. ISR at the University of Michigan and ZUMA have collaborated on the development of a web-based Survey Metadata Documentation System (SMDS) designed to facilitate documentation of a survey's lifecycle, from initial design through data collection, and post-survey processing and archiving. This paper will describe the design and structure of SMDS, which has eleven data entry modules. Modules can be completed in any order and by multiple users, allowing the person most knowledgable about each particular phase of the survey to enter the data. The use of such systems to standardize metadata capture and develop comparative survey documentation (across countries, languages, survey waves, etc.) will be discussed.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effects of tone at the top and control mechanisms on the objectivity of internal auditors' judgments. Prior empirical evidence suggests that employees' judgments can be influenced by top management through the tone at the top of the organisation. As employees, internal auditors also make judgments within the ethical climate - the tone at the top created by management. Given the important role of internal auditors in ensuring effective corporate governance, this thesis first investigates whether the quality of the tone at the top influences the objectivity of internal auditors' judgments on management-related fraud risk and internal control weaknesses. This thesis then investigates whether bias in internal auditors' judgments under a poor tone at the top can be mitigated by coordination between internal and external auditors, or by a high quality audit committee. This thesis includes two studies. The first study examines the objectivity of internal auditors' fraud risk assessments. The findings from an experiment involving 64 internal auditors suggest that internal auditors are more sceptical when the tone at the top is poor. The results of the coordination between internal and external auditors suggest that the existence of such coordination can be used as an effective mechanism to mitigate the influence of a poor tone on internal auditors' fraud risk assessments. The second study investigates the objectivity of internal auditors' internal control evaluations. The results from an experiment involving 80 internal auditors suggest that internal auditors' internal control evaluations are biased towards the management's favour under a poor tone at the top. The results of the quality of the audit committee indicate that the influence of a poor tone at the top on internal auditors' internal control evaluations can be mitigated by an effective audit committee with a high level of independence and expertise.

description: Linear and nonlinear quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) models were developed based on a dataset with 65 polymer-solvent combinations. Seven quantum chemical descriptors, dipole moment, hardness, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, total energy, HOMO and LUMO orbital energies, were calculated with density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31 G(d) level for polymers and solvents. Considering the strong correlation between intrinsic viscosity and weight, size, shape as well as topological structure of polymers and solvents, topological descriptors were also applied in this work. Meanwhile, the most appropriate polymer structure representation was investigated by considering 1–5 monomeric repeating units. The molecular descriptors were first screened by using the genetic algorithms-multiple linear regression (GA-MLR), with coefficient of determinations (r2) of 0.78 and 0.83 for the training set and the prediction set, respectively. The support vector machine model (SVM) model based on the selected descriptors subset showed a r2 value of 0.95 for the training set and 0.93 for the prediction set. All statistical results suggest that the established QSPR models have good predictability. Furthermore, a new test set obtained from the literature was used for further validation. The r2 values were 0.81 for the MLR model and 0.90 for the SVM model.

description: Machine learning capabilities combined with in-situ TEM measurements on aluminum-carbon nanotube composites reveal a new deformation sequence of dislocation gliding and pinning, a quiescent period, and finally a sudden release of localized strain. We propose a plastic deformation mechanism operating with three essential distinguishing characteristics: correlation of spatially localized microstrustural defects on the scale of nanometers, barrier-activation process of shear stress loading giving rise to strain response, and transient response on the time scale of seconds. Implications regarding plasticity carriers known to operate in crystalline media and in amorphous solids such as metallic glasses are discussed. A machine learning augmented investigation reveals the presence of cut-resistant nanotubes tilts the energy balance from crystal plasticity to more amorphous-like deformation mechanisms, particularly localized, transient strain observed in aluminum.

description: 14. Baccharis erigeroides de Candolle (1836: 418). —Type: “in campis editis prov. Sancti-Pauli”. BRAZIL. São Paulo: Mogi das Cruzes, November 1833, ♀, P. W. Lund 845 (holotype G-DC (00136722) 2 sheets photo!).
 Baccharis puberula de Candolle (1836: 401). — Type: “in Brasiliae prov. Sancti-Pauli... (v.s. ♀ in h. Mus. reg. Par. à Mus. imp. Bras. sub n. 515 miss.) ”. BRAZIL. São Paulo: s.d., ♀, F. Sellow s.n. = M. I. B. 515 (holotype P (00755577) photo!; isotype G-DC microfiche!).
 Baccharis erigeroides var. dusenii Heering ex Dusén (1910: 23). — Type: "Gesammelt auf den Campos bei Capão grande am 18. Dez. 1903 (Nr. 2766), und bei Capivari am 21. Okt. 1908 ". BRAZIL. Paraná: Ponta Grossa, Capão Grande, 18 December 1903, ♂, P. K. H. Dusén 2766 (lectotype R!, first-step lectotype designated by Barroso 1976: 55, second-step lectotype designated here; isolectotype R!, S). — Syntypes: BRAZIL. Paraná: Jaguariaíva, Capivari, 21 October 1908, ♂, P. K. H . Dusén s.n. (syntypes A (00003941) photo!, E! (00346655), M (0031202) photo!, NY! (00162243)).
 De Candolle (1836) described B. erigeroides based on Lund s.n. The specimen Lund 845, the only collection of this species at G-DC herbarium, agrees with the original data and description in the protologue and is composed of two sheets labelled as part 1 and 2 of the same specimen. These are stored under the same barcoding number (G00136722). So a lectotypification is not required in this situation. Concerning Baccharis erigeroides var. dusenii, Barroso (1976) cited the specimen Dusén 2766 as a type with duplicates housed in R and S, without specifying which one is the lectotype. There are two duplicates of Dusén 2766 stored in the same folder in R, but not labelled as the same specimen. Barroso’s (1976) indication of Dusén 2766 is a firststep lectotypification. The designation here, of the preparation consisting of a branch with a fertile and a vegetative shoot along with another detached fertile shoot and the original label with Dusén’s handwriting, is the second-step lectotypification. The remaining duplicate at R, composed of three detached fertile branches, is considered an isolectotype; the duplicate in S could not be located. Baccharis erigeroides var. dusenii Heering ex Dusén is commonly cited as originally described by Heering, however, this taxon was recognized by Heering in schedula and was later validated by Dusén (1910).

description: This paper examines the role of Social Studies in the teaching of morals to minimize the prevalence of moral degeneration in contemporary Nigerian society. The causes and consequences of moral degeneration in society were examined. The paper employed the descriptive survey research design and Social Learning Theory to explain that individuals tend to act based on their observations in society. The paper made use of both primary (questionnaire) and secondary (books, journals, and online materials) types of data. The paper was guided by three research questions. The findings revealed that social studies being a value and moral-laden subject can help minimize moral degeneration's prevalence in contemporary Nigerian society. It is recommended that there should be a national re-orientation of national values among Nigerians by Nigeria's federal, state, and local governments.

description: We present projected velocity dispersion profiles for the Draco and Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf spheroidal galaxies based on 207 and 162 discrete stellar velocities, respectively. Both profiles show a sharp decline in the velocity dispersion outside ~30 arcmin (Draco) and ~40 arcmin (UMi). New, deep photometry of Draco reveals a break in the light profile at ~25 arcmin. These data imply the existence of a kinematically cold population in the outer parts of both galaxies. Possible explanations of both the photometric and kinematic data in terms of both equilibrium and non-equilibrium models are discussed in detail. We conclude that these data challenge the picture of dSphs as simple, isolated stellar systems.

description: The density profile and Gibbs adsorption of a near-critical fluid confined between two identical planar walls is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation and by density functional theory for a Lennard-Jones fluid. By reducing the strength of wall-fluid interactions relative to fluid-fluid interactions we observe a crossover from behaviour characteristic of the normal surface universality class, strong critical adsorption, to behaviour characteristic of a 'neutral' wall. The crossover is reminiscent of that which occurs near the ordinary surface transition in Ising films subject to vanishing surface fields. For the 'neutral' wall the density profile, away from the walls, is almost constant throughout the slit capillary and gives rise to an adsorption that is constant along the critical isochore. The same 'neutral' wall yields a line of capillary coexistence that is almost identical to the bulk coexistence line. In the crossover regime we observe features in the density profile similar to those found in the magnetisation profile of the critical Ising film subject to weak surface fields, namely two smooth maxima, located away from the walls, which merge into a single maximum at midpoint as the strength of the wall-fluid interaction is reduced or as the distance between walls is decreased. We discuss similarities and differences between the surface critical behaviour of fluids and of Ising magnets.
