description: One purpose of this article is to draw attention to the seminal work of J. Mealy in 1989 on calibrations in semi-riemannian geometry where split SLAG geometry was first introduced. The natural setting is provided by doing geometry with the complex numbers C replaced by the double numbers D, where i with i^2 = -1 is replaced by tau with tau^2 = 1. A rather surprising amount of complex geometry carries over, almost untouched, and this has been the subject of many papers. We briefly review this material and, in particular, we discuss Hermitian D-manifolds with trivial canonical bundle, which provide the background space for the geometry of split SLAG submanifolds. A removable singularities result is proved for split SLAG subvarieties. It implies, in particular, that there exist no split SLAG cones, smooth outside the origin, other than planes. This is in sharp contrast to the complex case. Parallel to the complex case, space-like Lagrangian submanifolds are stationary if and only if they are theta-split SLAG for some phase angle theta, and infinitesimal deformations of split SLAG submanifolds are characterized by harmonic 1-forms on the submanifold. We also briefly review the recent work of Kim, McCann and Warren who have shown that split Special Lagrangian geometry is directly related to the Monge-Kantorovich mass transport problem.

description: Le classi scolastiche rappresentano un contesto culturalmente ricco, rendendo importante e attuale lo sviluppo della competenza interculturale nell’approccio all’alterità. Tramite questa ricerca-azione, proposta a 7 allievi di Scuola dell’Infanzia, si verifica se, tramite un percorso basato sulla conoscenza delle proprie origini, del contesto scolastico e di similitudini e differenze, gli allievi sviluppano un atteggiamento aperto, non etnocentrico, come modo per relazionarsi. Essi dovranno presentarsi ai bambini di una scuola keniota e si descriverà poi come reagiscono di fronte a questa realtà differente e se hanno sviluppato un atteggiamento aperto. Si osserverà infine se un intervento permette di conoscere meglio le proprie origini, quelle dei compagni e di rafforzarne i legami. Il percorso è ispirato dalle basi teoriche degli approcci interculturali in educazione e dell'insegnamento culturalmente pertinente (Gay, 2018). Tramite le interviste strutturate e l’osservazione partecipante si valuta qualitativamente e quantitativamente l’esito del percorso. I dati mostrano un’evoluzione nell’approccio alla situazione di alterità e nella consapevolezza della biografia personale e altrui. L’indagine può invitare a integrare maggiormente attività didattiche sulla competenza plurilingue ed interculturale alla SI. Relatori: Stefano Losa e Lorenza Rusconi – Kyburz.

description: We present a catalogue of about 6 million unresolved photometric detections in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Seventh Data Release classifying them into stars, galaxies and quasars. We use a machine learning classifier trained on a subset of spectroscopically confirmed objects from 14th to 22nd magnitude in the SDSS {\it i}-band. Our catalogue consists of 2,430,625 quasars, 3,544,036 stars and 63,586 unresolved galaxies from 14th to 24th magnitude in the SDSS {\it i}-band. Our algorithm recovers 99.96% of spectroscopically confirmed quasars and 99.51% of stars to i $\sim$21.3 in the colour window that we study. The level of contamination due to data artefacts for objects beyond $i=21.3$ is highly uncertain and all mention of completeness and contamination in the paper are valid only for objects brighter than this magnitude. However, a comparison of the predicted number of quasars with the theoretical number counts shows reasonable agreement.

description: We review X-ray plasma diagnostics based on the line ratios of He-like ions. Triplet/singlet line intensities can be used to determine electronic temperature and density, and were first developed for the study of the solar corona. Since the launches of the X-ray satellites Chandra and XMM-Newton, these diagnostics have been extended and used (from CV to Si XIII) for a wide variety of astrophysical plasmas such as stellar coronae, supernova remnants, solar system objects, active galactic nuclei, and X-ray binaries. Moreover, the intensities of He-like ions can be used to determine the ionization process(es) at work, as well as the distance between the X-ray plasma and the UV emission source for example in hot stars. In the near future thanks to the next generation of X-ray satellites (e.g., Astro-H and IXO), higher-Z He-like lines (e.g., iron) will be resolved, allowing plasmas with higher temperatures and densities to be probed. Moreover, the so-called satellite lines that are formed closed to parent He-like lines, will provide additional valuable diagnostics to determine electronic temperature, ionic fraction, departure from ionization equilibrium and/or from Maxwellian electron distribution.

Gaze behaviour of individuals with autistic traits while assessing peer status
Creators: name: Forby, Leilani
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Individuals with autism spectrum disorders have difficulty understanding verbal and non-verbal cues, and display atypical gaze behaviour during social interactions. The aim of this study was to examine differences among groups of individuals with high, medium, and low levels of autistic traits with regard to their gaze behaviour and their ability to assess peers’ social status. 54 university students who completed the short Autism Quotient (AQ10) were eye-tracked as they watched six 20-second video clips of individuals (“targets”) involved in a group decision-making task. The specific experimental instruction to the participants was to "think about who you would want to work with on a subsequent task". The video clips included moments of debate, humour, interruptions, and cross talk, simulating natural, everyday social interactions. Fixations were labelled by region of interest (body, face, or eyes). Participants then completed the Dominance and Prestige Peer Rating Scales, which asked them to rate the video targets in terms of status, prestige, and dominance. High-scorers on the AQ10 (i.e., those with more autistic traits) did not differ from the low- and medium-scorers in the status, prestige, and dominance ratings they gave the video targets. Unlike the low- and medium-scorers, high-scorers attended to the body of high dominance targets significantly more than they attended to the low and medium dominance targets, suggesting high-scorers found the high dominance target far more compelling than the medium and low dominance targets. In all other cases, high-scorers did not differ from low- and medium-scorers in either their ability to evaluate social status or in gaze behaviour. This suggests that deficits exhibited by individuals with autistic traits in reading social cues may be reduced in tasks probing certain social skills abilities. The results are discussed in terms of their implications towards the Theory of Mind, Weak Central Coherence, and Social Motivation theories of autism.

description: We describe cosmological galaxy formation simulations with the adaptive mesh refinement code Enzo that incorporate a star formation prescription regulated by the local abundance of molecular hydrogen. We show that this H2-regulated prescription leads to a suppression of star formation in low mass halos (M_h < ~10^10 M_sun) at z>4, alleviating some of the dwarf galaxy problems faced by theoretical galaxy formation models. H2 regulation modifies the efficiency of star formation of cold gas directly, rather than indirectly reducing the cold gas content with "supernova feedback". We determine the local H2 abundance in our most refined grid cells (76 proper parsec in size at z=4) by applying the model of Krumholz, McKee, & Tumlinson, which is based on idealized 1D radiative transfer calculations of H2 formation-dissociation balance in ~100 pc atomic--molecular complexes. Our H2-regulated simulations are able to reproduce the empirical (albeit lower z) Kennicutt-Schmidt relation, including the low Sigma_gas cutoff due to the transition from atomic to molecular phase and the metallicity dependence thereof, without the use of an explicit density threshold in our star formation prescription. We compare the evolution of the luminosity function, stellar mass density, and star formation rate density from our simulations to recent observational determinations of the same at z=4-8 and find reasonable agreement between the two.

description: Procurando contribuir para o estudo dos terrenos que interessam para a realização das obras de reabilitação dos muros da margem do Mondego, efetuaram-se estudos de caracterização essencialmente nos terrenos superficiais, em complemento aos trabalhos de geologia e geotecnia anteriormente realizados. Foi dada ênfase à observação em poços realizados para o estudo arqueológico e à utilização de técnicas não destrutivas como o Georradar e o Geogauge. A interpretação dos resultados foi feita em conjunto com os trabalhos de prospeção geotécnica clássicos, anteriormente realizados, tendo o Georradar, em particular, permitido o esclarecimento de diversas questões relativas à existência de estruturas antrópicas no aterro, com vários metros espessura, sobre solos aluvionares do vale do Mondego. Os resultados confirmam que a instabilização do muro resulta, para além das condições de fundação deficientes, do efeito negativo das raízes das árvores e da grande deformabilidade do aterro no seu tardoz. A existência de numerosas infraestruturas enterradas veio comprovar a utilidade de efetuar uma caracterização não destrutiva antes da realização de uma obra de engenharia, de modo a permitir o desenvolvimento eficiente dos trabalhos.

description: Human tumors frequently escape immune destruction, despite the presence of cytotoxic T cells (CTL) recognizing tumor-associated antigens (TAA). We have previously shown that programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), a recently identified ligand of the B7 superfamily, is expressed on murine tumors and can inhibit antitumor immune responses. To evaluate the clinical relevance of our animal model findings, we examined human tumors and tumor-specific T cells. We found PD-L1 to be constitutively expressed on human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines and upregulated on human melanoma cell lines upon exposure to interferon-gamma. Similarly, we found binding of anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) on frozen sections from RCC and melanomas, but not on normal tissues. The corresponding inhibitory receptor of PD-L1, PD-1, revealed a higher expression on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes than on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from melanoma patients upon specific antigen stimulation. Stimulation of PBL from healthy donors with peptide-loaded dendritic cells in the presence of anti-PD-L1 mAb altered neither the total T cell numbers after expansion, nor the percentage of peptide-specific CTL, when providing a T cell help by addition of cytokines. However, when stimulating TAA-specific CTL and T helper cells with Ag-pulsed dendritic cells in the absence of exogenous cytokines, PD-L1 blockade increased the cytokine production. Similar to the data achieved in the murine system, the blockade of PD-L1 on human tumors resulted in enhanced cytolytic activity of TAA-specific CTLs and cytokine production of TAA-specific T helper cells when interacting directly with the tumor. In summary, our data suggest that PD-L1/PD-1 interactions negatively regulate T cell effector functions predominantly in the absence of exogenous cytokine support, indicating an important role for this pathway in tumor evasion.

description: The operation of superconducting coplanar waveguide cavities, as used for circuit quantum electrodynamics and kinetic inductance detectors, in perpendicular magnetic fields normally leads to a reduction of the device performance due to energy dissipating Abrikosov vortices. We experimentally investigate the vortex induced energy losses in such Nb resonators with different spatial distributions of micropatterned pinning sites (antidots) by transmission spectroscopy measurements at 4.2 K. In comparison to resonators without antidots we find a significant reduction of vortex induced losses and thus increased quality factors over a broad range of frequencies and applied powers in moderate fields.

description: This paper presents light curves and the first systematic characterization of variability of the 106 objects in the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) Bright AGN Sample (LBAS). Weekly light curves obtained during the first 11 months of survey (August 04, 2008 - July 04, 2009), are tested for variability, and their properties are quantified through autocorrelation and structure function analysis. For the brightest sources power density spectra (PDS) and fit of the temporal structure of major flares is performed. More than 50% of the sources are variable, where high states do not exceed 1/4 of the total observation range. Variation amplitudes are larger for FSRQs and low/intermediate synchrotron peaked (LSP/ISP) BL Lac objects. Autocorrelation time scales vary from 4 to a dozen of weeks. Variable sources of the sample have 1/(f^{a}) PDS and show two modes: (1) rather constant baseline with sporadic flaring activity characterized by flatter PDS slopes resembling flickering and red-noise with occasional intermittence, and (2) - measured for a few blazars showing strong activity - complex and structured temporal profiles characterized by longer-term memory and steeper PDS slopes typical of a random-walk underlying mechanism. The average PDS slope of the brightest 22 FSRQs and the 6 brightest BL Lacs is 1.5 and 1.7 respectively. The study of temporal profiles of well resolved flares shows that they generally have symmetric profiles and that their total duration vary between 10 and 100 days.

Understanding spin glass transition as a dynamic phenomenon

description: Existing theories explain spin glass transition in terms of a phase transition and order parameters, and assume the existence of a distinct spin glass phase. In addition to problems related to clarifying the nature of this phase, the common challenge is to explain profound dynamic effects. Here, we propose that the main experimental results of spin glass transition can be understood in an entirely dynamic picture, without a reference to a distinct spin glass phase, phase transition and order parameters. In this theory, the susceptibility cusp at the glass transition temperature is due to the dynamic crossover between the high-temperature relaxational and low-temperature spin wave, or elastic, regime. The crossover takes place when $t=τ$, where $t$ is observation time and $τ$ is relaxation time. Time-dependent effects, inconsistent with the phase transition approach, and the logarithmic increase of $T_g$ with field frequency in particular, originate as the immediate consequence of the proposed picture. We comment on the behavior of non-linear susceptibility. In our discussion, we explore similarities between the spin and structural glass transitions.

description: Data from high-energy physics (HEP) experiments are collected with significant financial and human effort and are in many cases unique. At the same time, HEP has no coherent strategy for data preservation and re-use, and many important and complex data sets are simply lost. In a period of a few years, several important and unique experimental programs will come to an end, including those at HERA, the b-factories and at the Tevatron. An inter-experimental study group on HEP data preservation and long-term analysis (DPHEP) was formed and a series of workshops were held to investigate this issue in a systematic way. The physics case for data preservation and the preservation models established by the group are presented, as well as a description of the transverse global projects and strategies already in place.

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: Lyapunov exponents are well-known characteristic numbers that describe growth rates of perturbations applied to a trajectory of a dynamical system in different state space directions. Covariant (or characteristic) Lyapunov vectors indicate these directions. Though the concept of these vectors has been known for a long time, they became practically computable only recently due to algorithms suggested by Ginelli et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 2007, 130601] and by Wolfe and Samelson [Tellus 59A, 2007, 355]. In view of the great interest in covariant Lyapunov vectors and their wide range of potential applications, in this article we summarize the available information related to Lyapunov vectors and provide a detailed explanation of both the theoretical basics and numerical algorithms. We introduce the notion of adjoint covariant Lyapunov vectors. The angles between these vectors and the original covariant vectors are norm-independent and can be considered as characteristic numbers. Moreover, we present and study in detail an improved approach for computing covariant Lyapunov vectors. Also we describe, how one can test for hyperbolicity of chaotic dynamics without explicitly computing covariant vectors.

description: This is descriptive and exploratory research. Our focus is first, to build on earlier work by presenting a previously undocumented vocalization and accompanying behavior/context which most resemble the expression of the enjoyment of companionship in a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus). Second, we draw attention to the only other source attributing companionship to virginianus. Those vocalizations are described qualitatively. We describe putatively similar vocalizations qualitatively and quantitatively from the data of 352 vocalizations we collected and examine their significance as another expression of enjoyment of companionship. We then place our findings in perspective.

description: We investigate the effects of spin-flip scattering on the Hall transport and spectral properties of gapped Dirac fermions. We find that in the weak scattering regime, the Berry curvature distribution is dramatically compressed in the electronic energy spectrum, becoming singular at band edges. As a result the Hall conductivity has a sudden jump (or drop) of $e^2/2h$ when the Fermi energy sweeps across the band edges, and otherwise is a constant quantized in units of $e^2/2h$. In parallel, spectral properties such as the density of states and spin polarization are also greatly enhanced at band edges. Possible experimental methods to detect these effects are discussed.
Slope stability analysis along A03 Karimbala road, Liquiça Municipality, Timor-Leste
Creators: name: Oktoviano V. Tilman De Jesus

description: Timor-Leste has a rough topography and a complex geology contributing to the occurrence of many slope stability problems, which are aggravated by recent road construction activities aiming to improve the old roads. The study area is in Maubara, Municipality of Liquiça, along the A03 Karimbala road, which links the Liquiça and the Bobonaro Municipalities. Many road cuts, sometimes with a considerable height present systematic slope failures, endangering the circulation and requiring an extensive maintenance. The site conditions leading to the slope stability problems were evaluated. The work started with the selection of the most relevant slopes, followed by a detailed geological mapping, the geomechanical classification considering the Rock Mass Rating (RMR), the Slope Mass Rating (SMR) and the Rockfall Hazard Rating System (RHRS). The stability conditions were evaluated using the Rocscience software. The types of failures identified were rockfall, toppling, debris fall, plane failure and wedge failure. It was concluded that the main causes for slope instability are the surface weathering, the discontinuities with unfavourable orientation, and the intense rainfall inducing high water pressure in the slopes. The computed values of the Factor of Safety (FoS) below 1.5 were considered insufficient for a long-term stability and it was concluded that most of the slopes are prone to additional slope failures.

description: We investigate the Goos-Hänchen-like shifts for Dirac fermions in transmission through a monolayer graphene barrier. The lateral shifts, as the functions of the barrier's width and the incidence angle, can be negative and positive in Klein tunneling and classical motion, respectively. Due to their relations to the transmission gap, the lateral shifts can be enhanced by the transmission resonances when the incidence angle is less than the critical angle for total reflection, while their magnitudes become only the order of Fermi wavelength when the incidence angle is larger than the critical angle. These tunable beam shifts can also be modulated by the height of potential barrier and the induced gap, which gives rise to the applications in graphene-based devices.

description: A complete parton level analysis of 2l2v2j and 4l2j, l = mu,e production at the LHC is presented, including all processes at order alpha^6, alpha^4*alpha_s^2. The infinite Higgs mass scenario, which is considered as a benchmark for strong scattering theories and is the limiting case for composite Higgs models, and one example of Strongly Interacting Light Higgs models are confronted with the Standard Model light Higgs predictions. This analysis is combined with the results in the lv4j, the ll4j and the 3lv2j channels presented in previous papers, in order to determine whether these alternative Higgs frameworks can be detected as an excess of events in boson--boson scattering.

description: We apply the reduced phase space quantization to the Kasner universe. We construct the kinematical phase space, find solutions to the Hamilton equations of motion, identify Dirac observables and arrive at physical solutions in terms of Dirac observables and an internal clock. We obtain the physical Hilbert space, which is the carrier space of the self-adjoint representation of the Dirac observables. Then we discuss the problem of time. We demonstrate that the inclusion of evolution in a gravitational system, at classical level as well as at quantum level, leads respectively to canonically and unitarily inequivalent theories. The example of Hubble operator in two different clock variables and with two distinct spectra is given.

The targum (1885:Dec. 11)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1885

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Antibiotic-loaded polymeric microspheres for passive lung targeting after intravenous administration
Creators: name: Agnoletti, Monica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Low respiratory tract bacterial infections are currently amongst the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Current treatments consist of oral or intravenous administration of antibiotics. Today´s treatments of pulmonary bacterial infections are often not sufficiently effective due to the difficulty of drugs reaching the infection deep in the lungs, the insufficient drug doses at the site of infection, the development of multi-drug resistance, and the side effects caused by some of the currently used and effective antibiotics. Lung-targeted delivery of antibiotics by using injectable drug-loaded microspheres is a promising alternative to the traditional antibiotic solutions as they achieve local therapeutic concentrations of antibiotics and minimise unwanted off-target effects. This delivery strategy offers potential, especially in the case of patients with compromised lung function or obstruction of the respiratory tract, due to inflammation, infection or significant mucus production, while they still have normal lung perfusion. The aim of this project was to explore the use of polymeric microspheres as carriers for lung delivery of antibiotics to increase the efficacy of these drugs against bacterial respiratory infections, specifically by selectively targeting the lung capillaries after intravenous administration. Biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres encapsulating levofloxacin were prepared with a flow-focusing microfluidic chip and characterized for their physico-chemical properties, and their in vitro and in vivo performance. The PLGA microspheres were highly homogeneous in size with a mean diameter of ~12 µm and coefficient of variation < 5.2%. The microspheres slowly released the encapsulated levofloxacin in a controlled fashion over five days and slightly reduced its antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The microspheres degradation studies showed changes in the internal structure and in the surface morphology, and a faster degradation kinetic in vivo than in vitro. The microspheres showed low toxicity for endothelial and alveolar epithelial cell lines, and did not cause lysis of red blood cells. The biodistribution and pharmacokinetics study showed that ¹¹¹Indium-labeled microspheres distributed almost exclusively and homogenously in the lungs after intravenous administration. Overall, intravenous administration of 12 µm PLGA microspheres is suitable for passive lung targeting and is promising for pulmonary therapy.

description: We present an idealized, semi-empirical model for the evolution of gravitationally contracting molecular clouds (MCs) and their star formation rate (SFR) and efficiency (SFE). The model assumes that the instantaneous SFR is given by the mass above a certain density threshold divided by its free-fall time. The instantaneous number of massive stars is computed assuming a Kroupa IMF. These stars feed back on the cloud through ionizing radiation, eroding it. The main controlling parameter of the evolution turns out to be the maximum cloud mass, $\Mmax$. This allows us to compare various properties of the model clouds against their observational counterparts. A giant molecular cloud (GMC) model ($\Mmax \sim 10^5 \Msun$) adheres very well to the evolutionary scenario recently inferred by Kawamura et al. (2009) for GMCs in the Large Magellanic Cloud. A model cloud with $\Mmax \approx 2000 \Msun$ evolves in the Kennicutt-Schmidt diagram first passing through the locus of typical low- to-intermediate mass star-forming clouds, and then moving towards the locus of high-mass star-forming ones over the course of $\sim 10$ Myr. Also, the stellar age histograms for this cloud a few Myr before its destruction agree very well with those observed in the $ρ$-Oph stellar association, whose parent cloud has a similar mass, and imply that the SFR of the clouds increases with time. Our model thus agrees well with various observed properties of star-forming MCs, suggesting that the scenario of gravitationally collapsing MCs, with their SFR regulated by stellar feedback, is entirely feasible and in agreement with key observed properties of molecular clouds.

Instability of Superfluid Flow in the Neutron Star Inner Crust

description: Pinning of superfluid vortices to the nuclear lattice of the inner crust of a neutron star supports a velocity difference between the superfluid and the solid as the star spins down. Under the Magnus force that arises on the vortex lattice, vortices undergo {\em vortex creep} through thermal activation or quantum tunneling. We examine the hydrodynamic stability of this situation. Vortex creep introduces two low-frequency modes, one of which is unstable above a critical wavenumber for any non-zero flow velocity of the superfluid with respect to the solid. For typical pinning parameters of the inner crust, the superfluid flow is unstable over length scales $\lap 10$ m and over timescales as fast as months. The vortex lattice could degenerate into a tangle, and the superfluid flow could become turbulent. Unexpectedly large dissipation would suppress this instability.

Rather than resonance, flapping wing flyers may play on aerodynamics to improve performance

description: Saving energy and enhancing performance are secular preoccupations shared by both nature and human beings. In animal locomotion, flapping flyers or swimmers rely on the flexibility of their wings or body to passively increase their efficiency using an appropriate cycle of storing and releasing elastic energy. Despite the convergence of many observations pointing out this feature, the underlying mechanisms explaining how the elastic nature of the wings is related to propulsive efficiency remain unclear. Here we use an experiment with a self-propelled simplified insect model allowing to show how wing compliance governs the performance of flapping flyers. Reducing the description of the flapping wing to a forced oscillator model, we pinpoint different nonlinear effects that can account for the observed behavior ---in particular a set of cubic nonlinearities coming from the clamped-free beam equation used to model the wing and a quadratic damping term representing the fluid drag associated to the fast flapping motion. In contrast to what has been repeatedly suggested in the literature, we show that flapping flyers optimize their performance not by especially looking for resonance to achieve larger flapping amplitudes with less effort, but by tuning the temporal evolution of the wing shape (i.e. the phase dynamics in the oscillator model) to optimize the aerodynamics.
The intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic resources and adult self-rated health in China

description: Informed by Bourdieu and Passeron’s theory of reproduction, I utilize cross-sectional survey data from the 2015 Chinese General Social Survey to investigate whether and how parents utilize their socioeconomic resources to facilitate the acquisition of socioeconomic resources by their children that in turn affect the health of the adult children. I find that parental education, parental type of work unit and self-rated childhood social class but not parental membership in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) manifest independent associations with the self-rated health of survey respondents and that the intergenerational pathways from parental socioeconomic resources to self-rated health differ for men and women. Specifically, much of the association between parental socioeconomic resources and respondent self-rated health is explained by educational attainment among women and by household income among men. I also uncover a son-preference intergenerational transmission process for men born after 1970, near the beginning of significant market transitions in China. This study illuminates the importance of the intergenerational transmission of multiple forms of capital in fostering the good health of Chinese adults. In particular, these findings suggest that wealthy and well-educated Chinese parents tend to invest their capitals in the educational trajectories of their female children and in fostering the household incomes of their male children, both of which ultimately translate into good self-rated health for their adult children. This research not only documents the effect of parental resource on self-rated health but also reveals that the relationship between the state and individuals, which reflects the social changes that have characterized contemporary China, is an important factor when it comes to an understanding the nature of socioeconomic inequalities in health in this national context.

description: Measurements of the order parameter texture of rotating superfluid 3He-B have been performed as a function of the applied azimuthal counterflow velocity down to temperatures of 0.2Tc. The results are compared to the hydrostatic theory of 3He-B. Good agreement is found at all measured temperatures and rotation velocities when the flow anisotropy contribution to the textural free energy is adjusted. This gives a superfluid energy gap Delta(T) which agrees with that measured by Todoshchenko et al., with Delta(0)=1.97kBTc at 29.0 bar. The B-phase susceptibility, longitudinal resonance frequency, and textural phase transition have been extracted from the measurements as a function of temperature and azimuthal counterflow velocity. Owing to decreasing absorption intensities the present measuring method, based on the line shape analysis of the NMR spectrum, loses its sensitivity with decreasing temperature. However, we find that in practice the measurement of vortex numbers and counterflow velocities is still feasible down to 0.2Tc.
