title: Child Support Awards in Utah: The Effect of Legislative Child Support Guideline Adoption on Child Support Orders in Three Utah Counties
Creators: name: Hansen, Kay W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1991

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate child support orders made after legislative adoption of child support guidelines by comparing them to child support orders made prior to uniform guideline adoption to determine if child support orders had increased, decreased, or remained the same; to determine if child support orders were adequately covering the cost of raising children; to determine if child support guidelines had resulted in similar treatment of comparable cases; to determine if judges/hearing officers were deviating from the guidelines; and to determine the reasons for deviation.
There was no statistically significant difference found between the mean child support order made under the legislative guidelines and the mean child support order made
prior to standardized guideline adoption. When the mean child support order made under the uniform guidelines was compared to the 1990 poverty standard, no statistically significant difference was found. However, the mean child support order under the legislative guidelines was found to be significantly less than both the 1990 USDA estimate of the cost of rearing children and Espenshade's (1984) updated estimate of expenditures on children.
No significant difference was found between the rate of compliance/noncompliance with the guidelines by judicial district. However, a statistically significant difference was found to exist between counties. Results indicate that there is still a great deal of variation in the amount of child support being ordered under standardized child support guidelines.

Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt

description: Ausgangspunkt des Artikels ist das Modul „Selbsterfahrung durch Fremdsprachenanfängerunterricht“ innerhalb der Zusatzqualifizierung der Lehrkräfte für Integrationskurse. Der Darstellung liegt die Auswertung und Evaluation von insgesamt 20 Selbsterfahrungen zugrunde. In einem ersten Schritt wird die Bedeutung der Selbsterfahrung in den Vordergrund gestellt. Während im Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache und vor allem auch im Bereich Deutsch als Zweitsprache bei Kindern eine Entwicklung in Richtung Mehrsprachigkeitsansätze zu verzeichnen ist, sind Integrationskurse vorwiegend nach dem Prinzip der absoluten Einsprachigkeit konzipiert. Dies erscheint auf den ersten Blick auch durchaus nachvollziehbar, sind die Integrationskurse sowohl bezüglich des Ausbildungsstandes der Teilnehmenden, ihres Alters, ihrer Lernbiographie und Lerntraditionen, als auch vor allem bezüglich der Muttersprachen sehr heterogen. Der zweite Komplex des Artikels fokussiert diese zu beobachtende Einsprachigkeit im Unterrichtsgeschehen. Die Reflexion der „Selbsterfahrung Japanisch“ spricht jedoch deutlich für die Implementierung mehrsprachigkeitsdidaktischer Ansätze. Den dritten Schwerpunkt des Artikels bildet folglich die Bedeutung der Erfahrung der Lehrkräfte für die weitere Curriculumplanung. Um lernexterne, emotionale, kognitive und fremdsprachenspezifische Faktoren bewusst zu machen, plädiert die Verfasserin darüber hinaus für eine verpflichtende individuelle Sprachlernberatung während des Kurses.

description: In this pilot study, we explored the immune phenotype of patients with severe obesity and comorbid depressive symptoms compared to non-depressed patients with obesity and normal-weight controls. Immune cell subsets were analysed by flow cytometry and depressive symptoms assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Cell frequencies were correlated with depressive symptom scores and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Patients with obesity and comorbid depression showed significantly lower numbers of circulating cytotoxic natural killer cells, dendritic cells and CD8(+) effector memory T cells, compared to normal-weight controls. Regulatory T cells and CD4(+) central memory T cells were increased compared to non-depressed patients with obesity and compared to normal-weight controls, respectively. Frequencies of cytotoxic natural killer cells and CD4(+) central memory T cells significantly correlated with PHQ-9 scores, but not with WHR. Reduced numbers of dendritic cells were observed in both patient groups with obesity and correlated with PHQ-9 scores and WHR. These findings provide evidence for an altered immune composition in comorbid obesity and depression, supporting a pathobiological overlap between the two disorders.

description: The problem of computing the anomalous dimensions of a class of (nearly) half-BPS operators with a large R-charge is reduced to the problem of diagonalizing a Cuntz oscillator chain. Due to the large dimension of the operators we consider, non-planar corrections must be summed to correctly construct the Cuntz oscillator dynamics. These non-planar corrections do not represent quantum corrections in the dual gravitational theory, but rather, they account for the backreaction from the heavy operator whose dimension we study. Non-planar corrections accounting for quantum corrections seem to spoil integrability, in general. It is interesting to ask if non-planar corrections that account for the backreaction also spoil integrability. We find a limit in which our Cuntz chain continues to admit extra conserved charges suggesting that integrability might survive.

description: Background: Maternal asthma during pregnancy is considered an environmental risk factor for asthma development in children. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that are transferred from the mother to the fetus are known to act in a pro- or anti-inflammatory manner depending on their glycosylation status. Objective: Using a mouse model, we examined how maternal allergic airway inflammation during pregnancy influenced offspring experimental asthma severity, as well as maternal and offspring serum IgG antibody glycosylation patterns. Additionally, the effects of maternal and offspring exposure to the same or different allergens were investigated. Methods: Female mice were either sham sensitized or sensitized to casein (CAS) or ovalbumin (OVA) before mating. Subsequently, allergic lung inflammation was induced in pregnant dams via aerosol allergen challenge (sham, CAS or OVA). After weaning, pups were subjected to an experimental asthma protocol using OVA. Asn-297 IgG glycosylation was analysed in maternal and offspring serum. Results: When mothers and offspring were sensitized to the same allergen (OVA-OVA), offspring had more severe experimental asthma. This was evidenced by altered antibody concentrations, increased bronchoalveolar lavage inflammatory cell influx and decreased lung tissue and lung draining lymph node regulatory T cell percentages. When mothers and offspring were sensitized to different allergens (CAS-OVA), this phenotype was no longer observed. Additionally, maternal serum from allergic mothers had significantly higher levels of pro-inflammatory IgG1, shown by decreased galactosylation and sialylation at the Asn-297 glycosylation site. Similar glycosylation patterns were observed in the serum of adult allergic offspring from allergic mothers. Conclusions and clinical relevance: We observed a strong association between maternal experimental asthma during pregnancy, increased offspring airway inflammation and pro-inflammatory IgG glycosylation patterns in mothers and offspring. IgG glycosylation is not a standard measurement in the clinical setting, and we argue that it may be an important parameter to include in future clinical studies.

description: The setting is a cheerful nursery school room bustling with activity and live l y three and four year old children. Sally, Tom, and Dick are building with blocks and are busily engaged in conversation regarding who is "boss" of the project. "I'm the boss," states Sally emphatically. ''No, I'm the boss." retorts Dick with just as much enthusiasm. "Did you know that God is boss of the whole world?" questions Tom thoughtfully. So we see one more example of the tremendous task of reaching for and of gathering in facts and experiences in the environment in order to create some semblance of order in the overwhelming sphere known as the world of the preschooler.

description: New manned lunar landings may take place during next decade. In view of this possibility, space agencies around the word have requested to the international scientific community proposals for interesting and compelling physics experiments to be performed with the severe weight, size, power and deployment restrictions inherent to the first lunar sorties. Answering the recent NASA call "Suitcase Science to the Moon", a group formed by INFN-LNF, Astronaut Roberto Vittori of the Italian Air Force and several US research institutions has presented a proposal for improving by a factor 1000 or more the accuracy of the current Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) experiment (performed in the last 37 years using the retro-reflector arrays deployed on the Moon by the Apollo 11, 14 and 15 missions). Achieving such an improvement requires a modified thermal, optical and mechanical design of the retro-reflector array and detailed experimental tests. The new experiment will allow a rich program of accurate tests of General Relativity already with current laser ranging systems. This accuracy will get better and better as the performance of laser technologies improve over the next few decades, like they did relentlessly since the '60s. The LNF group has committed itself to perform the full climatic simulation and experimental characterization of the new retro-reflector prototypes using the new INFN-LNF "Space Climatic Facility"(SCF). Preliminary simulations are reported in this document. The space-climatic, laser-optical studies and tests will be done by members of this ITALY-US collaboration, because they are deeply linked to the proposed physics measurements. For the mechanics support structures and the "suitcase" there is window of work opportunity for industries. This internal LNF report (pages 2-21) is an excerpt from the Proposal presented to NASA on October 27 2006 by the authors listed at page 2. MoonLIGHT-M is the internal LNF name given to this Proposal (where "-M" indicates that this is intended for a Manned mission)

description: Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Aussprachekompetenz von Lernern des Deutschen, die Deutsch auf einem sehr hohen Niveau beherrschen, obwohl sie nicht vor der Pubertät mit Deutsch in Kontakt gekommen sind. Die konkrete Forschungsfrage lautet: Ist die Aussprachekompetenz der hier getesteten Nichtmuttersprachler im Deutschen wirklich so gut, dass sie nicht von Muttersprachlern zu unterscheiden sind? Wenn ja, was waren die entscheidenden Faktoren bzw. Lebensumstände, die den Spracherwerb in solchem Maße begünstigt haben? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen werden von einer muttersprachlichen Jury mittels einer Skala sowohl die Aussprache von Deutschlernern als auch von muttersprachlichen Kontrollpersonen bezüglich des Ausprägungsgrades eines möglichen Akzents bewertet. Die Ergebnisse werden sodann vor dem Hintergrund der (Sprachlern-)Biographien der Probanden diskutiert.

description: Als Argument für den Fremdsprachenunterricht auf der Primarstufe wird in bildungspolitischen Diskussionen häufig auf die Kurzformel "je jünger, desto besser" zurückgegriffen. Auf der Basis aktueller Beiträge zum Faktor 'Alter' beim Zweitsprachenerwerb und beim Fremdsprachenlernen, die unterschiedlich relevant für Fremdsprachenunterricht sind, geht dieser Beitrag der Frage nach, ob unter den gegebenen schulischen Bedingungen das jüngere Einstiegsalter als Argument herangezogen werden kann. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass der Faktor 'Alter' allein sich weder als Argument für den Beginn des Fremdsprachenunterrichts noch als Richtschnur seiner methodischen Gestaltung eignet. Die vorliegende Forschung deutet darauf hin, dass der Faktor 'Alter' mit einer Reihe anderer relevanter Faktoren verknüpft ist. Dabei werden spezifische Bedingungen und Anforderungen junger Fremdsprachenlerner deutlich, die bei der Planung und Durchführung berücksichtigt werden sollten.
Total Photo-Production Cross-Section at Very High Energy

description: In this paper we apply to photoproduction total cross-section a model we have proposed for purely hadronic processes and which is based on QCD mini-jets and soft gluon re-summation. We compare the predictions of our model with the HERA data as well as with other models. When we extend the model to cosmic ray energies, our model predicts substantially higher cross-sections at TeV energies than models based on factorization but lower than models based on mini-jets alone, without soft gluons. We discuss the origin of this difference and comment on the Froissart bound for photon induced processes.

description: Despite extensive research on the skutterudites for the last decade, their electric crystalline field ground state is still a matter of controversy. We show that Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) measurements can determine the full set of crystal field parameters (CFPs) for the Th cubic symmetry (Im3) of the Ce$_{1-x}$R$_{x}$Fe$_{4}$P$_{12}$ (R = Dy, Er, Yb, $x\lesssim 0.003$) skutterudite compounds. From the analysis of the ESR data the three CFPs, B4c, B6c and B6t were determined for each of these rare-earths at the Ce$^{3+}$ site. The field and temperature dependence of the measured magnetization for the doped crystals are in excellent agreement with the one predicted by the CFPs Bnm derived from ESR.

description: Background: The measurement of specific IgE to allergenic extracts and molecules in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) is crucial for a precise diagnosis and further immunotherapy. Companies providing in vitro diagnostic methods in allergology continuously strive for the optimization and modernization of such methods. A new generation of automated allergy tests based on chemiluminescence detection and paramagnetic microparticles is now available, with possible advantages in sample volume, cost-effectiveness and avoidance of sample-related interference. Objectives: To test whether sIgE antibody levels obtained with a new singleplex chemiluminescent method have a good agreement with the corresponding results obtained with a "gold standard" test. Methods: We tested sera from 368 AR patients. Specific IgE sera levels (kU/L) to a comprehensive panel of 15 allergen extracts and 6 molecules were tested with ImmunoCAP® (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Phadia AB, Uppsala, Sweden) and NOVEOS™ (HYCOR® Biomedical, Garden Grove, CA, USA). We evaluated the qualitative and quantitative performance of the new NOVEOS system in matching the outcome of ImmunoCAP to each of the examined allergens. Results: In relation to ImmunoCAP, the overall diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of sIgE tests with NOVEOS were 90.8% (95% CI = 88.6-92.7) and 96.2% (95% CI = 93.9-97.8), respectively. These values were higher when only molecules were considered (sensitivity = 98.7% [95% CI = 96.4%-99.7%]; specificity = 94.2% [95% CI = 88.4%-97.6%]) and lower when only extracts were considered (sensitivity = 87.6% [95% CI = 84.7%-90.2%]; specificity = 97% [95% CI = 94.4%-98.6%]). Spearman's correlation between the data set of both methods for a ≥ 0.1 kU/L cut-off was 0.84 (p < .001). Conclusions: The new singleplex NOVEOS system presented good results for qualitative and quantitative comparisons when testing specific serum IgE antibodies against a range of 21 allergens. This novel immunoassay system using only 4 µl of sample per test appears to be robust and reliable and can, therefore, be used as an aid in allergy diagnosis.

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag versteht sich als Vorschlag für einen interkulturell konzipierten Literaturunterricht im Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache an der Hochschule. Dabei geht er der Frage nach, wie sich eine Instrumentalisierung literarischer Texte zu landeskundlichen oder linguistischen Zwecken vermeiden lässt – ein Problem, das sich gerade bei der Vermittlung fremdsprachlicher Texte häufig abzeichnet. Es geht also um ein Konzept, das sowohl der gesellschaftlichen Funktion (Literatur als Thematisierung des Fremden, als Reaktion auf das Fremde und Provokation einer differenzierten Auseinandersetzung mit dem Fremden), als auch der Autonomie literarischer Texte (Literatur als das Fremde) Rechnung trägt. Hierbei wird mit einem differenzierten Fremdheitsbegriff und einer Klassifizierung des Fremden operiert, wie sie der deutsche Phänomenolog Bernhard Waldenfels entwickelt hat.

description: The primary purpose of this thesis was to assess the effects of a short verses long-term social skills training program on (a) enhancing adolescent and parent social skills, while Cb) reducing conflict and distress and enhancing warmth and cohesion. A modified pretest - posttest control group design was employed wherein the control group for the first experiment became a portion of the experimental group for the second experiment. The sample consisted of ~3 parent-adolescent dyads who volunteered to participate. Of those, 25 met the minimum criteria for being included in the analysis, 18 dyads from the experimental group and 7 from the control group. Results demonstrated that while the parents did perceive an improvement in skills assessed by the PARI sub-scores , the adolescents did not. Nonetheless, the findings demonstrated that the long-term program of one skill learned every week far eight weeks was mare effective than the concentrated one- week program of two skills learned per night far four nights.

description: Background: Real-world evidence describing the benefits of recommended therapies and their impact on the quality of life (QoL) of chronic urticaria (CU) patients is limited. Objective: To investigate disease burden, current treatment schedule, and the use of clinical resources by patients with H1 -antihistamine-refractory CU in Europe. Methods: AWARE (A World-wide Antihistamine-Refractory chronic urticaria patient Evaluation) is a global, prospective, non-interventional study in the real-world setting, sponsored by the manufacturer of omalizumab. Disease characteristics, pharmacological treatments, and health-related QoL of patients (N = 2727) ≥18 years of age diagnosed with H1 -antihistamine-refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria (without inducible urticaria) for >2 months are reported here. Results: Of the 2727 patients included, 1232 (45.2%) and 1278 (46.9%) were successfully followed up for any assessment and for the key outcome, the urticaria control test (UCT) score, respectively, and patients with complete remission (14.1%) were excluded from analyses.The proportion of patients with uncontrolled CSU (UCT score <12) dropped from 78% (n/N = 1641/2104) at baseline to 28.7% (n/N = 269/936) after two years of participation in the AWARE study. In addition, the proportion of patients with no impact of CSU on their QoL (assessed by the Dermatological Life Quality Index) increased to 57% (n/N = 664/1164) from 18.7% (n/N = 491/2621) at baseline. Emergency room visits (2.4% [n/N = 7/296] vs 33.5% [n/N = 779/2322]) and hospital stays (1.7% [n/N = 5/296] vs 24.2% [n/N = 561/2322]) reduced at Month 24 vs baseline. Overall, 23.2% (n/N = 26/112) patients on non-sedating H1 -antihistamines (nsAH) and 41.9% (n/N = 44/105) patients on up-dosed nsAH had uncontrolled CSU (UCT <12) at Month 24. In omalizumab-treated patients, 27.1% (n/N = 78/288) had uncontrolled CSU at Month 24. Conclusion: These data confirm improvements for most patients with CSU over a 2-year follow-up period. Further studies are needed to understand the differences between guideline recommendations and reported management.

description: Im Rahmen der Tertiärsprachenforschung wird immer mehr gefordert, dass es Ziel eines mehrsprachigkeitsorientierten Fremdsprachenunterrichts sein soll, den gesamten Sprach- und Kulturschatz der SchülerInnen in den Fremdsprachenlernprozess mit einzubeziehen und die LernerInnen im Rahmen von Bewusstmachung für die Nutzung ihrer Mehrsprachigkeit zu sensibilisieren. Dies gilt nicht nur für im schulischen Kontext erlernte Fremdsprachen, sondern ebenfalls für Spracherfahrungen resultierend beispielsweise aus einer durch migrationsbedingte Mehrsprachigkeit gekennzeichneten Biografie. Vorliegender Beitrag stellt sich die Frage, was migrationsbedingt mehrsprachige FranzösischlernerInnen (d.h. SchülerInnen mit Deutsch als Zweitsprache) selbst über die Rolle ihrer Mehrsprachigkeit beim Französischlernen denken. Anhand einer vergleichenden Zusammenschau sieben subjektiver LernerInnentheorien werden Ansatzpunkte für einen Französischunterricht entwickelt, in welchem den SchülerInnen mit Deutsch als Zweitsprache das Potential ihrer mitgebrachten Mehrsprachigkeit bewusst gemacht werden soll.

description: A reaction-diffusion problem with an obstacle potential is considered in a bounded domain of $\R^N$. Under the assumption that the obstacle $\K$ is a closed convex and bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth boundary or it is a closed $n$-dimensional simplex, we prove that the long-time behavior of the solution semigroup associated with this problem can be described in terms of an exponential attractor. In particular, the latter means that the fractal dimension of the associated global attractor is also finite.

description: The anatomy of the hair follicle and the dynamics of its barrier provide a special space for interactions between macromolecules and the underlying tissue. Translocation across the hair follicle epithelium and immune recognition has been confirmed for proteins, nucleic acids, engineered particles, virus particles and others. Tissue responses can be modulated by pro-inflammatory stimuli as demonstrated in penetration and transcutaneous immunization studies. Even under physiological conditions, hair follicle openings are filled with exogenous material ranging from macromolecules, engineered particles to natural particles including diverse communities of microbes. The exposed position of the infundibulum suggests that local inflammatory insults could disturb the finely tuned balance and may trigger downstream responses that initiate or facilitate local outbreaks of inflammatory hair diseases typically occurring in close spatial association with the infundibulum as observed in cicatricial alopecia. The question as to how microbial colonization or deposition of contaminants on the surface of the hair follicle epithelium interact with the barrier status under the influence of individual predisposition may help us understand local flare-ups of inflammatory hair diseases. Specifically, learning more about skin barrier alterations in the different types of inflammatory hair diseases and cross-talk with exogenous compounds could give new insights in this less explored aspect of hair follicle homeostasis. Such knowledge may not only be used to develop supportive measures to maintain a healthy scalp. It may have wider implications for our understanding on how external factors influence inflammation and immunological responses in the skin.
title: Measuring Adolescent Ego-Identity Status: A Comparison of the Semistructured Interview and the Objective Measure of Ego-Identity Status

description: Erikson's (1980) conceptualizations of the adolescent developmental task of identity development as operationalized by Marcia (1966) into four statuses (identity achieved, moratorium, foreclosure and diffusion) have been measured by both interviews and questionnaires. Research using Marcia's (1966) Ego Identity Interview and studies incorporating the Adams and colleagues' Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS) questionnaire have been reported as having acceptable levels of reliability and validity. However direct status-to-status comparisons of the OM-EIS and the Marcia interview identity status classifications have shown only moderate agreement. This study re-examined the internal consistency and construct validity of the EOM-EIS and the Marcia interview and contrast several strategies of assessing concurrent validity. A convenience sample of 61 16-year-old adolescents were utilized to address these issues.
The major findings included: (a) both instrumentations showed acceptable to sound estimates of internal reliability, internal validity and construct validity, (b) congruence between classification schemes is moderate, (c) most of the convergence between the EOM-EIS and the semistructured interview exists in ideological exploration, and (d) the EOM-EIS displayed superior estimates of predictive validity.
The primary conclusion of this study is, while the EOM-EIS displayed the best overall match with Eriksonian theory, considering the long-term acceptance and usage of the semistructured interview strategy and the limitations of this particular study, that the EOM-EIS and the semistructured interview are approximately equally capable (or incapable) of assessing the underlying psychological processes involved in ego-identity formation. Also some considerations for ego-identity instrumentation are offered and a cubic model of ego-identity classification is proposed.
The primary photochemical process in hexafluoroacetone vapour

description: The photochemical dissociation of hexafluoroacetone vapour (HFA) has been studied at room temperature using five exciting wavelengths between 2500 and 3500 Å, and at -78°, using 3130 Å excitation. The effect of the presence of biacetyl during the photolysis has been investigated. Complementary experiments on the visible emission from HFA were performed, paying particular attention to the quenching action of oxygen and biacetyl. Plots of reciprocal quantum yield of carbon monoxide versus HFA pressure have either a positive and constant, or positive and decreasing slope, down to 1 mm pressures there is virtually no evidence that a weak (multistage) collision mechanism is operative in deactivation of the excited molecules. A simple extension of classical unimolecular theory is examined, in order to account, for observed photo-dissociation rate constants, k₂(λ, T). The model shows that Arrhenius plots of k₂(T) at constant wavelength will not, in general, be linear, but that upper and lower limits for the critical (activation) energy, may still be obtained. For HFA, this energy is placed between 5.7 and 8.6 kcals/mole. Agreement in order-of-magnitude is found between calculated and observed values of k₂(T), only if it is assumed that a fraction (rather more than half) of the normal modes participate in intramolecular energy exchange. This fraction has to be increased with decreasing wavelength to explain the observed k₂(λ) values. The inadequacy of a classical treatment of the system is recognized. The emission spectrum of HFA consists of both fluorescence and phosphorescence. Small concentrations of biacetyl quench phosphorescence and triplet dissociation. The phosphorescence to fluorescence ratio is 2.77 at 25º and 9.95 at -78°, while the total emission yield increases by a factory of 16.7 on decreasing the temperature over this range. From a study of biacetyl emission, direct and sensitized by HFA, it is shown that nearly 50% of HFA molecules excited with 3130 Å, eventually reach the triplet state at 25º. The phosphorescence yield of HFA at -78°was estimated to be 0.51. At relatively high pressures, dissociation yields are apparently greater when less energetic excitation is used. Various modifications to the intersystem crossing mechanism are discussed to account for this, but no definite conclusion can be reached.
title: Family Satisfaction in Air Force Families as a Function of Family Strengths, Resources and Coping Following Relocation
Creators: name: Olsen, Mary Gyler
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent the level of coping skills, internal resources, social support, perception and pile-up of life events affect Air Force families ' adjustments after relocation. The major objectives were threefold: (a) to assess which of the husbands' and wives' strengths and resources contributed to the family's adjustment to the stress associated with permanent change of station moves, (b) to explore whether wives' levels of coping are critical to family adjustment and (c) to determine if the types and/or levels of coping used are significantly different at two points in time after the move. A secondary objective was an exploration through factor analyses of the construct validity for this population of four of the measures used: FACES, Quality of life, Ways of Coping Checklist and Social Support Inventory.
Results showed that for the husbands and wives pile-up of life events had a significant inverse relationship to mean Quality of life with Displacement/Denial, FACES and Perception also correlated for the wives. For both husbands and wives, the FACES discrepancy score was significantly correlated with the discrepancy Quality of life score with pile-up and Reframing also correlated for the wives. Controlling for the influence of the moderator variables, pile-up of life events was significantly correlated with mean Quality of Life for the husbands while pile-up and Social Support were correlated for the wives. The wives had pile-up, Reframing, Discrepancy FACES and Self-focused Coping which showed a significant correlation with discrepancy Quality of Life.
Wives showed a greater use of several types of coping including Positive Focus, Social Support, Displacement/Denial and Reframing while the husbands showed a greater use of coworkers for social support and Problem-focused Coping. A higher usage of special groups for social support was the only difference found between the individuals who had moved at different points in time. In addition, the results provided further empirical support for the Double ABCX Family Stress Model. Suggestions were made for interventions to help to alleviate the stress of moving for the military family.
Long term black hole evolution with the BSSN system by pseudospectral methods

description: We present long term evolutions of a single black hole of mass $M$ with the BSSN system using pseudospectral methods. For our simulations we use the SGRID code where the BSSN system is implemented in its standard second order in space form. Previously we found that such simulations are quite unstable. The main goal of this paper is to present two improvements which now allow us to evolve for longer times. The first improvement is related to the boundary conditions at the excised black hole interior. We now use a gauge condition that ensures that all modes are going into the black hole, so that no boundary conditions are needed at the excision surface. The second more significant improvement has to do with our particular numerical method and involves filters based on projecting the double Fourier expansions used for the angular dependence onto Spherical Harmonics. With these two improvements it is now easily possible to evolve for several thousand $M$. The only remaining limitation seems to be the radiative outer boundary conditions used here. Yet this problem can be ameliorated by pushing out the location of the outer boundary, which leads to even longer run-times.

title: Akzentuierung von Internationalismen Überlegungen zur empirischen Untersuchung bei fortgeschrittenen italophonen Deutsch lernenden

description: Internationalismen erleichtern zwar die Verständigung in einer fremden Sprache, bereiten aber auch Probleme, z.B. im Bereich der Wortakzentuierung, denn hier besteht die Gefahr eines direkten Transfers der entsprechenden L1-Akzentmuster. Welche Rolle bei fortgeschrittenen Lernern solche L1-Interferenzen, aber auch in der L2 erkannte prosodische Regularitäten spielen, ist für die Ausgangssprache Italienisch bisher nicht untersucht worden. Anknüpfend an Erkenntnisse aus Phonologie, Spracherwerbsforschung und Psycholinguistik beschreibt der Beitrag daher Einflussfaktoren der Akzentuierung (Morphophonologie, lexikalische Nachbarschaft, Wortfrequenz, Interferenz) und entwickelt auf dieser Grundlage empirisch überprüfbare Hypothesen. Interferenzen und andere Fehlleistungen werden bei (weniger geläufigen) Internationalismen insbesondere dann prognostiziert, wenn ihre Prosodie nicht dem „paradigmatischen Pänultima-Akzent“ gehorcht und/oder durch eine inkohärente lexikalische Nachbarschaft gekennzeichnet ist.

description: Constraint programming can definitely be seen as a model-driven paradigm. The users write programs for modeling problems. These programs are mapped to executable models to calculate the solutions. This paper focuses on efficient model management (definition and transformation). From this point of view, we propose to revisit the design of constraint-programming systems. A model-driven architecture is introduced to map solving-independent constraint models to solving-dependent decision models. Several important questions are examined, such as the need for a visual highlevel modeling language, and the quality of metamodeling techniques to implement the transformations. A main result is the s-COMMA platform that efficiently implements the chain from modeling to solving constraint problems
Physio-chemical studies of the oxidation of solid potassium iodide by halogen gases

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The mechanism of oxidation of Potassium iodide by Chlorine and Fluorine gas has been studied using powdered KI, pressed pellets and single crystals (pressed pellets only in the case of Fluorine). The electrical conductivity of a KI pellet has also been determined as a function of temperature. The major part of the experimental work concerns changes in D.C. electrical conductivity during reaction. The main conclusions are as follows: (a) The room temperature conductivity of KI is always higher than that obtained by extrapolating the impurity-range, and the activation energy below about 92° C. is very small; this is tentatively attributed to a space-charge effect. (b) In the KI/CI₂ reaction, the products are invariably KCl and I₂ in various forms (including V-Centres), although poly-halides are thermodynamically more stable. Thus the reduction of Chlorine occurs in a manner which does not allow reorganization to ICI₂-. (c) In pressed pellets, the conductivity always increases at the start of oxidation, but the enhanced conductivity may be ionic or electronic in different circumstances, and the initial increase may be followed by several alternative processes which are structure-sensitive. There is an inverse correlation between initial conductance and reactivity which is interpreted in terms of competition between (i) trapping of positive holes at isolated cation vacancies and (ii) nucleation of solid Iodine at grain boundaries. (d) Unpressed powders show no increase in conductance during reaction; this is attributed to preferential oxidation of bound surface states.

description: This presentation discusses the advantages SOFIA offers for sub-mm VLBI in atmospheric transmission windows. ALMA-SOFIA VLBI at 690 GHz opens opportunities for observing the M87 supermassive black hole photon ring and may be the only way to achieve this in the near term. The prospects and benefits for such VLBI observations in the 690 GHz window (and 345 GHz) are presented. Primary hurdles and potential pathways are briefly discussed. Further scrutiny and work to develop this concept would be useful.
