description: We show that the so-called more effective effective field theory (MEEFT) is essentially equivalent to the proper nuclear effective field theory (NEFT) in describing low-energy electroweak processes in nuclei. A key to understanding their equivalence is the relation between a NEFT-based NN-potential and a phenomenological potential through the Wilsonian renormalization group equation.We also discuss an important advantage of MEEFT.

description: The purpose of this paper is to study the price behaviour of fresh produce at the retail level of two leading supermarkets, Tesco and Sainsbury, with the purpose of gaining knowledge about their interaction. We focus the study on six products from the fresh fruits and vegetable group (i.e., tomatoes, Bramley’s apples, white cabbage, cucumbers, Iceberg lettuce and Round lettuce) due to the fact on the one hand it is a less complex supply chain (e.g., perishable product, less number of intermediaries) and on the other hand, because during the last 20 years the group has significantly evolved with supermarkets becoming the major players in the chain. The empirical methodology consisted of using Granger causality tests to establish the relationship between the series (e.g., leader-follower) and then vector autoregressive (VAR) models and variance decomposition procedures to capture the interaction of supermarket prices by product. Overall results indicate that the competition behaviour amongst the two retailers changes by product and evolve over time

description: The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in 2003 and particularly the introduction of the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) is intended to make farmers more market orientated and competitive. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to discuss whether performance-related communication strategies present the possibility of improving farmers’ market orientation. This is studied through the case of McIntosh Donald, a beef processor located in the North East of Scotland and a major red meat supplier for Tesco, and Qboxanalysis, a performance-related communication system, introduced by the processor to its beef Producer Club members in March 2005. Results indicate that the enhanced communication strategy has the potential to increase farmers’ performance and market orientation, not only through the use of the Qboxanalysis system but also through the Producers’ Club activities. However, additional efforts are required to engage producers that are less proactive

description: We investigate using Clifford algebra methods the theory of algebraic dotted and undotted spinor fields over a Lorentzian spacetime and their realizations as matrix spinor fields, which are the usual dotted and undotted two component spinor fields. We found that some ad hoc rules postulated for the covariant derivatives of Pauli sigma matrices and also for the Dirac gamma matrices in General Relativity cover important physical meaning, which is not apparent in the usual matrix presentation of the theory of two components dotted and undotted spinor fields. We also discuss some issues related to the the previous one and which appear in a proposed "unified" theory of gravitation and electromagnetism which use two components dotted and undotted spinor fields and also paravector fields, which are particular sections of the even subundle of the Clifford bundle of spacetime.

description: Control in the nursing care management for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) bundles of postcardiac surgery patients is related to using predetermined standards and actions taken to correct mismatches between standards and actual performance. The purpose of this study was to apply the identification of controls in the nursing care unit to the VAP collection in the intensive care unit. Design research using quasi-experiments before and after with the control group. The population in this study was nurses invited to pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The number of samples was 32 people, divided into two groups consisting of intervention and control, taken by purposive sampling technique and General Linear Model Repeat Measure (GLM-RM) analysis method. The results of this study were analyzed by the dependent t-test. Dependent t-test results obtained in the average VAP bundle before the intervention were 3.3462 and after the intervention were 3.8362 with an average change of 0.41707 andp-value (0,000) < (0.05).The application of controls in the nursing care management to the VAP bundle in accordance with the Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) emphasizes better accountability in providing nursing care to patients who are fitted with work safety and improves the actual performance of officers. Implement the control of a part of a continuous improvement strategy in quality control of special health services in relation to pneumatic infections installed in mechanical facilities in the Intensive Care Unit.

description: Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image segmentation is currently of great importance in image processing for remote sensing applications. However, it is a challenging task due to two main reasons. Firstly, the label information is difficult to acquire due to high annotation costs. Secondly, the speckle effect embedded in the PolSAR imaging process remarkably degrades the segmentation performance. To address these two issues, we present a contextual PolSAR image semantic segmentation method in this paper.With a newly defined channelwise consistent feature set as input, the three-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (3D-DWT) technique is employed to extract discriminative multi-scale features that are robust to speckle noise. Then Markov random field (MRF) is further applied to enforce label smoothness spatially during segmentation. By simultaneously utilizing 3D-DWT features and MRF priors for the first time, contextual information is fully integrated during the segmentation to ensure accurate and smooth segmentation. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conduct extensive experiments on three real benchmark PolSAR image data sets. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method achieves promising segmentation accuracy and preferable spatial consistency using a minimal number of labeled pixels.

description: The purpose of this paper is, by comparing products with a mountain provenance with those from non-mountain areas, to explore whether the market puts a premium on the „mountain attribute‟. First, we present a theoretical framework on attributes and cues that helps answering the question what is “mountain” representing in a products or in other term, is it an attribute or a cue. Second, based on a shelves survey collected as part of the EuroMARC, we analyse for several products (apples, sausages, water and cheese) and countries (Austria, France, Norway, Scotland and Slovenia) using a hedonic price regression approach whether a premium is paid for mountain food products in comparison with identified similar non-mountain food products. The results indicate that the answer is mixed and depends on the product and country. Thus, premia was found only in the case of cheese and for Austria, Norway and Slovenia.

description: We present the results of precision timing observations of the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1640+2224. Combining the pulse arrival time measurements made with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope and the Arecibo 305-m radio telescope, we have extended the existing timing model of the pulsar to search for a presence of the effect of a general-relativistic Shapiro delay in the data. At the currently attainable precision level, the observed amplitude of the effect constrains the companion mass to $m_2=0.15^{+0.08}_{-0.05} M_\sun$, which is consistent with the estimates obtained from optical observations of the white dwarf companion and with the mass range predicted by theories of binary evolution. The measured shape of the Shapiro delay curve restricts the range of possible orbital inclinations of the PSR J1640+2224 system to $78^{\circ}\le i\le 88^{\circ}$. The pulsar offers excellent prospects to significantly tighten these constraints in the near future.

description: The Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector significantly contributes to India's economic growth, with SME Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) emerging as a crucial funding avenue. Despite regulatory advancements such as NSE Emerge and BSE SME, SME IPOs exhibit unique characteristics, including underpricing, lower liquidity, and distinct aftermarket performance. This study systematically reviews existing literature on SME IPOs in India, examining factors such as firm-specific, governance-specific, issue-specific, and market-specific determinants. The analysis identifies significant research gaps, including the limited exploration of behavioral finance, long-term performance, governance mechanisms, and macroeconomic impacts. Future research should integrate interdisciplinary approaches to better understand the SME IPO ecosystem. The study aims to provide a structured roadmap for empirical investigations and policy recommendations, fostering sustainable growth in the SME capital markets.

description: This paper provides a case study of existing policy barriers to local municipal information communications technology investments in one U.S. state, South Carolina. This analysis also describes local survey results to clarify the role of restrictive state policy on the incentives for local communities to make these investments. Initial interviews of state municipal leaders support the idea that the states legal interpretation of municipal responsibilities has likely constrained local telecommunications investments across the state. Survey results reveal that approximately one-third of local municipal leaders believe they are constrained by the state’s definition of the purview of municipal responsibilities. Even with these constraints, the overwhelming majority of respondents acknowledge the importance of these investments for community and economic development. Understanding the results of state barriers to telecommunications investment provides important insight into the nature of policy incentives and moreover, provides insight into how states and localities can change policy to encourage these investments.

description: It is widely acknowledged that heavy flavor probes are sensitive to the properties of the quark-gluon plasma and are often considered an important tool for the plasma tomography studies. Forward rapidity observables can provide further insight on the dynamics of the medium due to the interplay between the medium size and the differences in the production spectra of heavy quark probes. In this proceedings we present the nuclear modification factor $R_\text{AA}$'s for B and D mesons, as well as heavy flavor leptons, in the rapidity range $-4.0 < y < 4.0$ obtained from relativistic Langevin equation with gluon radiation coupled with a (3+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics medium background. We present comparison with experimental data at mid-rapidity as well as predictions for different rapidity ranges.

description: Clinical supervision of interactive reflective model is a guideline for the implementation of patient safety goals at the hospital. This supervision supports the one who is supervised to improve self-awareness and professional development in the implementation of patient safety goals. The purpose of this research was to find out the influence of reflective interactive supervision model toward the implementation of patient safety goals. The method used is quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest with control group design. There were 24 subjects in interventions and 24 subjects in control group. Data were taken using a proportional stratified random sample. The data were analyzed by using chi-square, independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test, Pearson correlation, and general linear model repeated measure was used for multivariate analysis. The result shows that there are significant differences after the implementation of interactive reflective supervision (p < 0.000). The average achievement score of the implementation of patient safety goals between groups shows a significant difference. In the intervention group, the achievement score began to show an improvement starting from the second measurement and the maximum score was seen in the fifth measurement. Clinical supervision interactive reflective model is potentially required by the head nurse as a guideline for supervising the implementation of the patient's safety goals in the hospital.
From re-use to multisensory outdoor play : increasing developmental opportunities for toddlers and infants in the child care context
Creators: name: Lesmeister, Chandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores the ways in which an outdoor play space can provide developmental opportunities for children aged twelve to thirty-six months. This exploration begins by observing one group of toddlers at play in two contrasting types of child care spaces and analyzing the children's play. The observations, together with a description of influential studies, a literature review, field observations, and an interview with caregivers, all support the premise that the outdoor space does have a significant impact on child development. The final outcome of the study is the design of an outdoor play space that reflects the research and promotes the child's social, cognitive, physical, and emotional growth.

description: Spatial micro structure and its change over time is recorded for Norwegian farm firms. Relative strong correlations between geographically close neighbors are expected, either because growing farms swallow the smaller ones, or because they are affected by some spatially related unobserved factors. Strong correlations over time are also expected because of prevalent family farming. The paper proposes a state-of-the-art Markov chain model in order to predict the spatial and temporal micro structure taking account of both non-stationarity and spatio/temporal correlations by means of techniques from non-linear state space modeling and Gaussian Markov random fields. The model and the complete data set is then a device with which one can investigate the consequences of ignoring spatial and/or temporal correlations, both with complete data and with more sparsely sampled data, like FADN panels or USDA's repeated cross-sections (ARMS).
Clifford Valued Differential Forms, and Some Issues in Gravitation, Electromagnetism and 'Unified' Theories

description: In this paper we show how to describe the general theory of a linear metric compatible connection with the theory of Clifford valued differential forms. This is done by realizing that for each spacetime point the Lie algebra of Clifford bivectors is isomorphic to the Lie algebra of Sl(2,C). In that way the pullback of the linear connection under a local trivialization of the bundle (i.e., a choice of gauge) is represented by a Clifford valued 1-form. That observation makes it possible to realize immediately that Einstein's gravitational theory can be formulated in a way which is similar to a Sl(2,C) gauge theory. Such a theory is compared with other interesting mathematical formulations of Einstein's theory. and particularly with a supposedly "unified" field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism proposed by M. Sachs. We show that his identification of Maxwell equations within his formalism is not a valid one. Also, taking profit of the mathematical methods introduced in the paper we investigate a very polemical issue in Einstein gravitational theory, namely the problem of the 'energy-momentum' conservation. We show that many statements appearing in the literature are confusing or even wrong.

description: Many countries have passed their first COVID-19 epidemic peak. Traditional epidemiological models describe this as a result of non-pharmaceutical interventions that pushed the growth rate below the recovery rate. In this new phase of the pandemic many countries show an almost linear growth of confirmed cases for extended time-periods. This new containment regime is hard to explain by traditional models where infection numbers either grow explosively until herd immunity is reached, or the epidemic is completely suppressed (zero new cases). Here we offer an explanation of this puzzling observation based on the structure of contact networks. We show that for any given transmission rate there exists a critical number of social contacts, $D_c$, below which linear growth and low infection prevalence must occur. Above $D_c$ traditional epidemiological dynamics takes place, as e.g. in SIR-type models. When calibrating our corresponding model to empirical estimates of the transmission rate and the number of days being contagious, we find $D_c\sim 7.2$. Assuming realistic contact networks with a degree of about 5, and assuming that lockdown measures would reduce that to household-size (about 2.5), we reproduce actual infection curves with a remarkable precision, without fitting or fine-tuning of parameters. In particular we compare the US and Austria, as examples for one country that initially did not impose measures and one that responded with a severe lockdown early on. Our findings question the applicability of standard compartmental models to describe the COVID-19 containment phase. The probability to observe linear growth in these is practically zero.

description: Abstract

The purpose of the study is to conduct analysis and answer the research gap that occurs among researchers and the phenomenon that occurs where leverage as one of the risk elements is not a matter of concern for capital market players, especially the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This type of research is quantitative with a multiple regression analysis method of panel data using the research object of property and real estate sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. By using the purposive sampling method, a cross section of twenty-five companies was obtained as observations in this study and with a time series for five years so that this study further formulates to maximize stock returns through Leverage as an intervening variable. There are two research models that are integrated into one and each goes through the stages of model selection testing, namely the Chow Test, the Hausman Test. The results of the first research model using endogenous capital structure variables, all exogenous macroeconomic variables, interest rates and the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar cannot explain their influence on capital structure. However, the company's fundamental exogenous variables can all explain their influence significantly on capital structure. The results of the second research model using stock return as an endogenous variable are different from the first model, namely all exogenous macroeconomic variables can explain their influence on stock return, while exogenous variables other than liquidity and capital structure which are also intervening variables cannot explain their influence on stock return. These results are expected to help as a guideline for public companies to gain market appreciation which is proxied into stock return.
Solar neutrinos and 1-3 leptonic mixing

description: Effects of the 1-3 leptonic mixing on the solar neutrino observables are studied and the signatures of non-zero $θ_{13}$ are identified. For this we have re-derived the formula for $3ν$-survival probability including all relevant corrections and constructed the iso-contours of observables in the $\sin^2 θ_{12} - \sin^2 θ_{13}$ plane. Analysis of the solar neutrino data gives $\sin^2θ_{13} = 0.007^{+ 0.080}_{-0.007}$ (90% C.L.) for $Δm^2 = 8 \cdot 10^{-5}$ eV$^2$. The combination of the ratio CC/NC at SNO and gallium production rate selects $\sin^2θ_{13} = 0.017 \pm 0.026$ ($1σ$). The global fit of all oscillation data leads to zero best value of $\sin^2 θ_{13}$. The sensitivity ($1σ$ error) of future solar neutrino studies to $\sin^2 θ_{13}$ can be improved down to 0.01 - 0.02 by precise measurements of the pp-neutrino flux and the CC/NC ratio as well as spectrum distortion at high ($E > 4$ MeV) energies. Combination of experimental results sensitive to the low and high energy parts of the solar neutrino spectrum resolves the degeneracy of angles $θ_{13}$ and $θ_{12}$. Comparison of $\sin^2 θ_{13}$ as well as $\sin^2 θ_{12}$ measured in the solar neutrinos and in the reactor/accelerator experiments may reveal new effects which can not be seen otherwise.

description: Immunization is one of the most cost-eﬀective health interventions to prevents illness, disability and death associated with communicable disease. This study aimed to identify factors associated with completed recommended childhood immunizations in children aged 12–23 months in Indonesia. This study used data from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2012 with a multistage cluster sampling procedures. A total data from 3,231 mothers with children of 12–23 months of age were extracted from dataset. Mothers’ self-reported data along with vaccination cards determined vaccine coverage. This study found the prevalence of complete immunization status for their age cohort was 37.4%. The highest immunization coverage was BCG (86.9%) and the lowest coverage was hepatitis B3 (46.2%). The multiple logistic regression showed that mothers with a ﬁrst born child are 2.84 times more likely to fully vaccinate their children compared to mothers with ≥6 children. Mothers in the lowest economic level, delivered in non-health facilities, attended antenatal care less than four were less likely to fully vaccinate these children. Meanwhile, mother who delivered by professional assistants was signiﬁcantly associated with complete immunization status of their children. Appropriate strategies should be designed targeting high-risk group including culturally approached to address immunization completion and improved accessibility in various provinces within the country.

description: Massive stars typically undergo short-lived post-main sequence evolutionary phases with strong mass loss and occasional mass eruptions. Many of such massive stars in transition phases have been identified based on their dusty envelopes. The ejected material often veils the stellar photospheres so that the central stars cannot be assigned proper spectral types and evolutionary stages. The infrared spectral range has proved to be ideal for the classification of evolved massive stars and for the characterization of their environments. To improve our knowledge on the central stars of four such dust enshrouded objects: [GKF2010] MN 83, [GKF2010] MN 108, [GKF2010] MN 109, and [GKF2010] MN 112, we collect and present their first medium resolution K-band spectra in the $2.3\,-\,2.47\,μ$m region and discuss the location of the stars in the JHK color-color diagram. We find that the emission-line spectra of both MN 83 and MN 112 show characteristics typically seen in Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) stars. In addition, we propose that the presence and strength of the newly reported Mg II lines might be used as a new complementary criterion to identify LBV candidates. The spectra of the other two objects imply that MN 108 is an O-type supergiant, whereas MN 109 could be an LBV candidate in its active phase. We derive lower limits for the reddening toward the stars and find that three of all de-reddened fall into the region of confirmed LBVs.

Using the data of Chinese off-farm wage employment, we find that the duration of schooling years will increase by 1.7 years with 1 percent increase in rate of return to education. The empirical results also indicate that controversies about return to education might arise from model misspecification without consideration of nonlinearity and sample selection.

description: A basic problem of classical field theory, which has attracted growing attention over the past decade, is to find and classify all nonlinear deformations of linear abelian gauge theories. The first part of this paper summarizes and significantly elaborates a field- theoretic deformation method developed in earlier work. As a key contribution presented here, a universal geometrical structure common to a large class of nonlinear gauge theory examples is uncovered. This structure is derived geometrically from the deformed gauge symmetry and is characterized by a covariant derivative operator plus a nonlinear field strength, related through the curvature of the covariant derivative. The scope of these results encompasses Yang-Mills theory, Freedman-Townsend theory, Einstein gravity theory, in addition to their many interesting types of novel generalizations that have been found in the past several years. The second part of the paper presents a new geometrical type of Yang-Mills generalization in three dimensions motivated from considering torsion in the context of nonlinear sigma models with Lie group targets (chiral theories). The generalization is derived by a deformation analysis of linear abelian Yang-Mills Chern-Simons gauge theory. Torsion is introduced geometrically through a duality with chiral models obtained from the chiral field form of self-dual 2+2 dimensional Yang-Mills theory under reduction to 2+1 dimensions. Field-theoretic and geometric features of the resulting nonlinear gauge theories with torsion are discussed.

description: Ten-year long war in Nepal (February 1996 to November 2006) was the source of nearly six dozen book length nonfictions. Of these writings, around one and half dozen were written by the Maoist combatants who had first-hand experience of the armed encounter with the state force. The writings, however, have yet not drawn ample interest of researchers and thus very limited studies have been carried out. This paper tries to fill the gap through close reading of 15 texts written by the combatants; it provides a summative and analytical reading of the nonfictions that render combatants’ experience during the armed combat. These writings are observed to present various facets related to the war including experience during armed encounter, tribute to the deceased, intra-party conflict and betrayal, experience of the distress, and perception of post-peace politics. It is anticipated that this article will draw further attention to literary representations of the war.

description: In recent years, the discovery of complex dynamic systems in various fields through data-driven methods has attracted widespread attention. This method has played the role of data and has become an advantageous tool for us to study complex phenomena. In this work, we propose a framework for detecting the dynamic behavior, such as the maximum likelihood transition path, of stochastic dynamic systems from data. For the stochastic dynamic system, we need to use the Kramers-Moyal formula to convert it into a deterministic form for processing, then use the extended SINDy method to obtain the parameters of stochastic dynamic systems, and finally calculate the maximum likelihood transition path. We give two examples of stochastic dynamical systems driven by additive and multiplicative Gaussian noise, and demonstrate the validity of the method by reproducing the known dynamical system behavior.

description: Diese Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Approximation der Pricing-Funktion eines Volatilität-Modells - dem Rough-Heston Modell - mithilfe eines künstlichen neuronalen Netzes. Zu Beginn der Arbeit wird die Pricing-Funktion dieses Modells berechnet. Anschließend werden allgemein Funktionsweise und Begrifflichkeiten von neuronalen Netzen definiert und deklariert, bevor der Kern der Arbeit, welcher sich mit dem radialen Basisfunktions-Netzwerk beschäftigt, erörtert wird. Es werden vor allem die Approximations-Fähigkeit, sowie die für die Performance entscheidende Trainingsphase, inklusive verschiedener Aktivierungsfunktionen, näher betrachtet und erklärt. Abschließend wird die numerische Implementierung der Approximation der Pricing-Funktion durch ein radiales Basisfunktions-Netzwerk gezeigt, sowie unterschiedliche Simulationen des Netzes durchgeführt.
description: The objective of this diploma thesis is the approximation of the pricing-function of the Rough-Heston volatility model via an artificial neural network. At the beginning, the pricing-function of this model is calculated. A general declaration of terms, as well as the operating principle of neural networks will illustrate how these networks are trained and how they operate. Subsequently, the key topic of this thesis, the radial basis function network, is covered in detail, including an explanation of why such networks can be used for the approximation of functions. There is also an in-depth description of the essential training algorithm including its activation functions. Finally, the numerically implemented approximation is presented and various simulations of the network are analysed.

description: Flat TiO$_2$ layers are deposited by magnetron sputtering on Ti/Si wafers. The TiO$_2$ surfaces are then sputter-coated with thin Au films of a nominal thickness of 0.5-10 nm that are converted by solid-state dewetting into Au nanoparticles of tuneable size and spacing; the Au nanoparticle size can be tuned over a broad range, i.e. ca. 3-200 nm. The Au-decorated TiO$_2$ surfaces enable plasmonic photo-electrochemical water splitting under visible light illumination (450-750 nm). The water splitting performance reaches a maximum for TiO$_2$ layers decorated with ~ 30 nm-sized Au particles. As expected, optical absorption measurements show a red shift of the plasmonic extinction band with increasing the Au nanoparticle size. However, the plasmonic photocurrent is found to peak at ~ 600 nm regardless of the size of the Au nanoparticles, i.e. the plasmonic photocurrent band position is size-independent. Such a remarkable observation can be ascribed to a hot electron injection cut-off effect.

The role of platelet activating factor in the mechanism of nitric oxide synthases after regional myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury
Creators: name: Lara-Guerra, Humberto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Myocardial infarction is one of the leading-causes of death in North America. Standard treatment for myocardial infarction consists of reperfusion of the ischemic area. However, several lifethreatening events occur after reperfusion is established. Evidence suggests that platelet activating factor and nitric oxide, two inflammatory mediators, have a main role during this myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, the mechanism through which these mediators exert their effects as well as a potential relationship between both, during regional myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, need to be investigated. The effect of PAF in modulation of NO-releasing enzymes (iNOS, eNOS), severity of cardiac contractile depression and myocardial infraction lesion in the late (48 h post-ischemic reperfusion) phase of MIR injury were investigated. An in-vivo rabbit model underwent 30 min of regional myocardial ischemia followed by 48 h of reperfusion and treated, during the ischemic period, with a PAF antagonist (TCV-309). It was found that PAF up-regulates iNOS expression and down-regulates eNOS expression in the ischemic-reperfused heart. Furthermore, PAF induced myocardial contractile depression and a more severe infarct lesion at 48 hours postischemia reperfusion. These effects were associated to iNOS expression, indicating that NO is an important mechanism through which PAF exerts its negative effects on myocardial infraction and cardiac contractility.

description: We investigate the effect of spin-orbit and spin-spin couplings on the estimation of parameters for inspiralling compact binaries of massive black holes, and for neutron stars inspiralling into intermediate-mass black holes, using hypothetical data from the proposed Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We work both in Einstein's theory and in alternative theories of gravity of the scalar-tensor and massive-graviton types. We restrict the analysis to non-precessing spinning binaries, i.e. to cases where the spins are aligned normal to the orbital plane. We find that the accuracy with which intrinsic binary parameters such as chirp mass and reduced mass can be estimated within general relativity is degraded by between one and two orders of magnitude. We find that the bound on the coupling parameter omega_BD of scalar-tensor gravity is significantly reduced by the presence of spin couplings, while the reduction in the graviton-mass bound is milder. Using fast Monte-Carlo simulations of 10^4 binaries, we show that inclusion of spin terms in massive black-hole binaries has little effect on the angular resolution or on distance determination accuracy. For stellar mass inspirals into intermediate-mass black holes, the angular resolution and the distance are determined only poorly, in all cases considered. We also show that, if LISA's low-frequency noise sensitivity can be extrapolated from 10^-4 Hz to as low as 10^-5 Hz, the accuracy of determining both extrinsic parameters (distance, sky location) and intrinsic parameters (chirp mass, reduced mass) of massive binaries may be greatly improved.
