Calquing structure: how to say ‘the’ in Isinay, Philippines
Creators: name: Reid, Lawrence A.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2020

description: Isinay is a highly endangered Central Cordilleran language spoken in northern Luzon, Philippines. This paper discusses noun phrase structures in Isinay and how Spanish missionaries translating the Roman Catholic catechism in the 17th century created an innovative structure that marks definiteness by calquing from corresponding Spanish structures. We present arguments for a loan translation analysis and show how it cannot have developed from phrase structures inherited from an ancestor languages.

description: This article examines the history of ancestral tourism and its development as a form of cultural diplomacy between 1945 and 1966. The phenomenon often referred to as ‘roots tourism’ has during the last decades increased in popularity, especially in Old World countries that historically have sent large numbers of people to North America. While previous scholarship has focused on its existential dimensions and its relation to the twenty-first century tourism and heritage economies, this article looks at how ancestral tourism grew out of European attempts at expanding the tourism industry after 1945. It studies the international spread of ‘person-to-person’ programs that sought to turn travelers into ‘ambassadors’, and the subsequent transformation of such initiatives into ‘homecoming’ campaigns through notions of co-descent, targeting Americans of European descent. By exploring the case of the 1966 Homecoming Year campaign in Sweden, the article shows that the attraction of ancestral tourism was grounded in its ability to combine economic and political incentives articulated in the Marshall Plan. It developed out of a liberal-democratic ideology that vested individual travelers with diplomatic agency. In the process, European tourist agencies calcified the notion that ancestral tourism served not only individual experiences, but also national economies and international relations.

description: This tech brief presents an FHWA study that addressed the adequacy of both public and private parking facilities nationwide. The steady growth in trucking nationwide appears to have increased the demand for rest areas along the nation's highways. Commercial drivers need a safe place to park, especially at night, to maintain their alertness. A growing concern about commercial driver fatigue has created a need to assure public safety along the highways. The primary goal of this study was to consider parking statues and enforcement, and to determine the supply, utilization, and demand for truck parking at both rest areas (public facilities) and truck stops (privately-owned facilities). Research sought to address a perceived need for additional parking space through direct observation, interviews, statistical sampling and evaluations, modeling, and demographic data collection. 4 p.

description: Despite the benefits of a PhD for degree-holders as well for society as a whole, doctoral student attrition is a common phenomenon. Unfortunately, the empirical literature on dropout from doctoral education is scant, especially for non-US countries—an omission we address in the current study. Building on Tinto’s model of student attrition and rational choice theory, the study empirically assesses the association of different individual, institutional, and external factors with the propensity to leave doctoral studies. Unlike most studies in the field, it draws on longitudinal data using event history modelling, observing doctoral students in multiple disciplines and a wide range of universities. The key results can be summarized as follows: In Germany, women are more likely to dropout than men. The probability of dropping out strongly depends on the discipline and the availability of a scholarship. A close contact with the supervisor and exchange with other PhDs are associated with a lower dropout probability. Moreover, having children increases dropout rates. The study findings provide first empirical guidance for interventions that can possibly help reducing dropout.

description: This study explores the concerns, needs, and expectations of inpatients with the goal to develop a patient-centered climate change adaptation agenda for hospitals. Statements of patients from geriatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, and surgery (N = 25) of a German tertiary care hospital were analyzed using semi-structured interviews and the framework method. Areas of future adaptation were elaborated in joint discussions with transdisciplinary experts. Concerns included the foresight of severe health problems. The requested adaptations comprised the change to a patient-centered care, infrastructural improvements including air conditioning, and adjustments of the workflows. Guidelines for the behavior of patients and medical services appropriate for the climatic conditions were demanded. The patient-centered agenda for adaptation includes the steps of partnering with patients, reinforcing heat mitigation, better education for patients and medical staff, and adjusting work processes. This is the first study demonstrating that hospital patients are gravely concerned and expect adjustments according to climate change. Since heat is seen as a major risk by interviewees, the fast implementation of published recommendations is crucial. By synthesizing inpatients' expectations with scientific recommendations, we encourage patient-centered climate change adaptation. This can be the start for further collaboration with patients to create climate change resilient hospitals.

description: We propose a multiparty quantum cryptographic protocol. Unitary operators applied by Bob and Charlie, on their respective qubits of a tripartite entangled state encodes a classical symbol that can be decoded at Alice's end with the help of a decoding matrix. Eve's presence can be detected by the disturbance of the decoding matrix. Our protocol is secure against intercept-resend attacks. Furthermore, it is efficient and deterministic in the sense that two classical bits can be transferred per entangled pair of qubits. It is worth mentioning that in this protocol same symbol can be used for key distribution and Eve's detection that enhances the efficiency of the protocol.

A descriptive account of agentless constructions in Sylheti: passive, impersonal, and anticausative

Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2020

description: We identify three constructions in Sylheti which license the non-mention of an agent argument or do not allow the realisation of one. We describe a passive construction, which allows the realisation of an agent followed by the converbial instrumental dia ‘by’, formed with the addition of a nominalizing suffix -a to the verbal root and the tensed passive auxiliary o- ‘become’. The second construction is an impersonal passive with the passive auxiliary za- ‘go’, which does not allow the realisation of an agent argument and gives rise to possibilitative readings. Further, za- also acts as a light verb realised with verbal stems which can take a single argument interpreted as the ‘undergoer’ of the action, achieving an anticausative reading; this construction does not allow the realisation of an agent but does allow the realisation of the cause of the event such as a natural force marked with the agentive/instrumental -e. To describe these three constructions, this paper also provides a brief sketch of the distributional patterns of two Sylheti case markers, namely -e, which surfaces on both agents and instruments, and -re, which attaches to themes/patients, as well as recipients.

description: We present a variational analysis for a half-quantum vortex (HQV) in the equal-spin-pairing superfluid state which, under suitable conditions, is believed to be realized in Sr2RuO4 and 3He-A. Our approach is based on a description of the HQV in terms of a BCS-like wave function with a spin-dependent boost. We predict a novel feature: the HQV, if stable, should be accompanied by a non-zero spin polarization. Such a spin polarization would exist in addition to the one induced by the Zeeman coupling to the external field and hence may serve as an indicator in experimental search for HQV.

On the convergence order of the finite element error in the kinetic energy for high Reynolds number incompressible flows

description: The kinetic energy of a flow is proportional to the square of the L-2 (Omega) norm of the velocity. Given a sufficient regular velocity field and a velocity finite element space with polynomials of degree r, then the best approximation error in L-2 (Omega) is of order r + 1. In this survey, the available finite element error analysis for the velocity error in L-infinity(0, T; L-2 (Omega)) is reviewed, where T is a final time. Since in practice the case of small viscosity coefficients or dominant convection is of particular interest, which may result in turbulent flows, robust error estimates are considered, i.e., estimates where the constant in the error bound does not depend on inverse powers of the viscosity coefficient. Methods for which robust estimates can be derived enable stable flow simulations for small viscosity coefficients on comparatively coarse grids, which is often the situation encountered in practice. To introduce stabilization techniques for the convection-dominated regime and tools used in the error analysis, evolutionary linear convection-diffusion equations are studied at the beginning. The main part of this survey considers robust finite element methods for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations of order r -1, r, and r 1/2 for the velocity error in L-infinity(0, T; L-2 (Omega)). All these methods are discussed in detail. In particular, a sketch of the proof for the error bound is given that explains the estimate of important terms which determine finally the order of convergence. Among them, there are methods for inf-sup stable pairs of finite element spaces as well as for pressure-stabilized discretizations. Numerical studies support the analytic results for several of these methods. In addition, methods are surveyed that behave in a robust way but for which only a non-robust error analysis is available. The conclusion of this survey is that the problem of whether or not there is a robust method with optimal convergence order for the kinetic energy is still open.
A cross-linguistic perspective on converb constructions in Sylheti
Creators: name: Dopierala, Sarah M.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2020

description: This paper identifies cross-linguistic characteristics of converbs and describes how they function in Sylheti. Using examples from data collected during elicitation sessions with a Sylheti speaker in the Field Methods course at SOAS in 2015-2016, I show that Sylheti has converb constructions and that they function in a way specific to it. The converb, as a linguistic category, is associated with an array of cross-linguistically attested characteristics. It has been defined by Haspelmath (1995) as a non-finite verb form that marks some sort of adverbial subordination. There are other cross-linguistic features that have been identified, relating to semantic and aspectual interpretations of converbs, the relations between converbal clauses and matrix clauses with regard to coreferentiality, and so on. In Sylheti, converbs show many of these characteristics, e.g., they are non-finite verb forms and do have an adverbial function. On the other hand, Sylheti converbs have language-particular functions which differ from other languages, especially with regard to aspectual and temporal interpretation, and coreferentiality requirements between the converbal clause and the matrix clause. The paper concludes with an analysis of the Sylheti constructions using Role and Reference Grammar, arguing that they are cosubordinate structures, rather than subordinate, as claimed by Haspelmath ...

description: Globally, increasing rates of obesity are one of the most important health issues. The association between breakfast skipping and body weight is contradictory between cross-sectional and interventional studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to summarize this association based on observational longitudinal studies. We included prospective studies on breakfast skipping and overweight/obesity or weight change in adults. The literature was searched until September 2020 in PubMed and Web of Science. Summary risk ratios (RRs) or β coefficients with a 95% confidence interval (CI), respectively, were estimated in pairwise meta-analyses by applying a random-effects model. In total, nine studies were included in the systematic review and five of them were included in the meta-analyses. The meta-analyses indicated an 11% increased RR for overweight/obesity when breakfast was skipped on ≥3 days per week compared to ≤2 days per week (95% CI: 1.04, 1.19, n = two studies). The meta-analysis on body mass index (BMI) change displayed no difference between breakfast skipping and eating (β = -0.02; 95% CI: -0.05, 0.01; n = two studies). This study provides minimal evidence that breakfast skipping might lead to weight gain and the onset of overweight and obesity.

Mapping of spirantization and de-aspiration in Sylheti: An Optimality Theory analysis.
Creators: name: Sen, Satarupa
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2020

description: Sylheti, with its long literary tradition and its own independent script and rich cultural heritage, is attracting increased attention in academia, thus opening numerous avenues for linguistic research. In this paper we explore consonant phonological patterns and their analysis within an Optimality Theory (OT) model. Sylheti bilabial plosive /p/ and velar plosive /k/, along with their aspirated counterparts /pʰ/ and /kʰ/, participate in spirantization, resulting in the fricative sounds /f/ and /χ/. Unlike related languages, spirantization in Sylheti occurs in pre-vocalic, inter-vocalic and post-vocalic positions, and can best be understood as competition between ranked constraints.`

description: The early part of the gravitational wave signal of binary neutron star inspirals can potentially yield robust information on the nuclear equation of state. The influence of a star's internal structure on the waveform is characterized by a single parameter: the tidal deformability lambda, which measures the star's quadrupole deformation in response to the companion's perturbing tidal field. We calculate lambda for a wide range of equations of state and find that the value of lambda spans an order of magnitude for the range of equation of state models considered. An analysis of the feasibility of discriminating between neutron star equations of state with gravitational wave observations of the early part of the inspiral reveals that the measurement error in lambda increases steeply with the total mass of the binary. Comparing the errors with the expected range of lambda, we find that Advanced LIGO observations of binaries at a distance of 100 Mpc will probe only unusually stiff equations of state, while the proposed Einstein Telescope is likely to see a clean tidal signature.

description: Sunam is a Tibeto-Burman language of the Bodic branch spoken by about 390 people in Sunnam village, located in Pooh tehsil of Kinnaur district in Himachal Pradesh, India. Locally, it is referred to as sunnampakad (language of Sunnam), and is totally undescribed. It is mentioned in comparative grammatical texts, but only in the context of other languages of upper Kinnaur. Sunam is linked to Bunan, spoken in the Lahaul valley. The language is employed by the upper caste community in Sunnam, where Sumcho, Hindi, and Kinnauri are also in use. Since 1990 Sunnam has undergone many changes in cultural, economic, and physical demography due to the construction of roads and the building of schools, where Hindi is the only medium of instruction. Although, the Sunam language is actively used in the community, Hindi is increasingly present in many domains of daily use.

description: The effect of an external force on the kinetics of diffusion-assisted escaping of Brownian particles from a potential well is analyzed in detail. The analysis is made within the two-state model of the process which is known to be valid in the deep well limit in the absence of external force. The generalized variant of this model, taking into account the effect of the force, is shown to be quite accurate as well for some shapes of the well. Within the generalized two-state model simple expressions for the well depopulation kinetics and, in particular, the for the escape rate are obtained. These expressions show that the effect of the force ($F$) manifests itself in the escape rate dependence on the only parameter $φ= Fa/(2k_b T)$, where $a$ is the Onzager radius of the attractive part of the well $U(r)$, defined by the relation $|U(a)| = k_b T$. The limiting behavior of this dependence in the cases of weak and strong force is analyzed in detail. Possible applications as well as the relation of the results of the analysis to those obtained earlier are briefly discussed.

Young drivers, between 15 and 20 years old, accounted for 6.8% (12.7 million) of the total, a 1.2% decrease from the 12.8 million young drivers in 1989. In 1999, 8,175 15- to 20-year-old drivers were involved in fatal crashes -- a 15% decrease from the 9,671 involved in 1989. Driver fatalities for this age group decreased by 16% between 1989 and 1999. For young males, driver fatalities dropped by 20%, compared with a 3% decrease for young females. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15 to 20 year olds (based on 1997 figures, which are the latest mortality data currently available from the National Center for Health Statistics). In 1999, 3,561 drivers 15 to 20 years old were killed, and an additional 362,000 were injured, in motor vehicle crashes. In 1999, 15% (8,175) of all the drivers involved in fatal crashes (56,352) were young drivers 15 to 20 years old, and 18% (1,964,000) of all the drivers involved in police-reported crashes (11,194,000) were young drivers.

Simulation Result Comparison on Halo Formation Between Particle-Core Model and a Multiparticle Code
Creators: name: V. Variale
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: Space-charge dominated beams can induce chaotic behavior of particle trajectories leading to halo formation on the beam spot.  This causes particle losses along the beam transportation that must be minimized. The fractional losses must be kept below 10-7/m.. This is a very low threshold to check with standard multiparticle codes. To study this kind of problems a particle-core model (PCM) is commonly used. However in this model some approximations are made and then its results need to be checked. In this paper, an inspection on the results of a particular PCM is done by using a multiparticle code with a new particle simulation approach that allows a tight comparison between their results

description: We have developed an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) for space-based far-infrared astronomical observations. The FTS employs a newly developed photoconductive detector arrays with a capacitive trans-impedance amplifier, which makes the FTS a completely unique instrument. The FTS was installed as a function of the far-infrared instrument (FIS: Far-Infrared Surveyor) on the Japanese astronomical satellite, AKARI, which was launched on February 21, 2006 (UT) from the Uchinoura Space Center. The FIS-FTS had been operated for more than one year before liquid helium ran out on August 26, 2007. The FIS-FTS was operated nearly six hundreds times, which corresponds to more than one hundred hours of astronomical observations and almost the same amount of time for calibrations. As expected from laboratory measurements, the FIS-FTS performed well and has produced a large set of astronomical data for valuable objects. Meanwhile, it becomes clear that the detector transient effect is a considerable factor for FTSs with photoconductive detectors. In this paper, the instrumentation of the FIS-FTS and interesting phenomena related to FTS using photoconductive detectors are described, and future applications of this kind of FTS system are discussed.

description: In 1999, there were more than 58 million children under 15 years old in the United States. This age group (0-14 years) made up 21% of the total U.S. resident population in 1999. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children of every age from 6 to 14 years old (based on 1997 figures, which are the latest mortality data currently available from the National Center for Health Statistics). In 1999, there were 41,611 traffic fatalities in the United States. The 0-14 age group accounted for 6% (2,474) of those traffic fatalities. In addition, children under 15 years old accounted for 5% (1,724) of all vehicle occupant fatalities, 10% (318,000) of all the people injured in motor vehicle crashes, and 9% (272,000) of all the vehicle occupants injured in crashes. Additional statistics on children killed or injured in traffic crashes in 1999 are provided in this traffic safety fact sheet.
title: Strategies for sustainable farming in the Mediterranean: lessons from Argolida, Greece
Creators: name: Iakovidis, Dimitrios
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: The agricultural sector faces challenges in achieving sustainable food production, such as climate change, 
soil erosion, and biodiversity loss. The importance of access to agronomic information and relevant 
knowledge for farmers to make informed decisions towards sustainable farming practices is crucial. An 
in-depth and comprehensive investigation of the various, multifaceted ways and strategies through which 
the management and sustainability performance of farming systems can be bolstered and fortified within 
the context of a typical Mediterranean area is attempted.
The methodology followed consisted of a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods and primary 
and secondary data. Thematic analysis and content analysis were used to reveal themes and patterns of 
behaviours while the sustainability assessment performed a quantitative analysis of the data entered in 
the program during the interviews. Finally, the Q-methodology performed a quantitative Q-factor analysis 
and a qualitative factor interpretation analysis.
The research presents the results of a study that aimed to explore the perceptions of farmers on decision-making, farm sustainability, and digital technologies, the perceptions of farmers and advisers on the use 
and adoption of planning and control methods and identify the needs and requirements of end-users for 
the design of an effective Decision Support Tool (DST). The research concludes that there is a gap in the 
understanding of wider sustainability issues within the context of farm decision-making. The educational, 
technological, and consultancy framework needs to be reformed to address the challenges indicated 
previously. The findings of the study illustrate the need to encourage farmers and advisers to change their 
actions to enhance wider agricultural sustainability. The research recommends a review and update of 
the educational framework for both farmers and advisers to tackle the challenges of sustainability 
awareness and performance, and technology uptake. 
The study concludes that the adoption of DSTs in agriculture can contribute to farm sustainability and that 
understanding farmers' perceptions of DSTs is crucial for successful adoption. Finally, there is a number 
of recommendations for farmers, advisers, researchers and policymakers regarding the future action 
needed to take place in order to improve the sustainability performance of farming systems in the area.

description: Severe posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) are connected to a variety of health-related and interpersonal problems, among them are the insecure attachment orientations. However, psychotherapy seems to improve not only PTSS but also attachment insecurities. In a large multicenter, randomized clinical trial, the attachment characteristics and PTSS of 85 adolescents and young adults (aged 14-21 years) with clinically relevant abuse-related PTSS were assessed at study entry, at the end of treatment, and 3 months after the end of treatment. Participants were randomized either to a developmentally adapted cognitive processing therapy (D-CPT) or to a wait-list with treatment advice (WL/TA). The purpose of the study was to analyze the association between PTSS and attachment at study entry as well as changes in attachment during the trial. We found that attachment-related avoidance (AR avoidance) was positively associated with PTSS from both self-reports and clinician ratings, whereas attachment-related anxiety (AR anxiety) was only related to self-reported PTSS (Pearson correlation coefficients between 0.37 and 0.46). Changes in AR anxiety occurred in both conditions at some point during the study (baseline to 3-month follow-up effect size wasd = 0.60 for D-CPT andd = 0.44 for WL/TA) whereas for AR avoidance, only participants in D-CPT improved significantly (baseline to 3-month follow-up effect size wasd = 0.75). The results indicate that PTSS and attachment are connected. Positive changes in attachment insecurities brought about by trauma-focused psychotherapy seem possible.

description: Coordination networks (CNs) that undergo gas-induced transformation from closed (nonporous) to open (porous) structures are of potential utility in gas storage applications, but their development is hindered by limited control over their switching mechanisms and pressures. In this work, we report two CNs, [Co(bimpy)(bdc)]n (X-dia-4-Co) and [Co(bimbz)(bdc)]n (X-dia-5-Co) (H2bdc = 1,4-benzendicarboxylic acid; bimpy = 2,5-bis(1H-imidazole-1-yl)pyridine; bimbz = 1,4-bis(1H-imidazole-1-yl)benzene), that both undergo transformation from closed to isostructural open phases involving at least a 27% increase in cell volume. Although X-dia-4-Co and X-dia-5-Co only differ from one another by one atom in their N-donor linkers (bimpy = pyridine, and bimbz = benzene), this results in different pore chemistry and switching mechanisms. Specifically, X-dia-4-Co exhibited a gradual phase transformation with a steady increase in the uptake when exposed to CO2, whereas X-dia-5-Co exhibited a sharp step (type F-IV isotherm) at P/P0 0.008 or P 3 bar (195 or 298 K, respectively). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, in situ powder XRD, in situ IR, and modeling (density functional theory calculations, and canonical Monte Carlo simulations) studies provide insights into the nature of the switching mechanisms and enable attribution of pronounced differences in sorption properties to the changed pore chemistry.
Kodi (Indonesia) – Language Snapshot

Year: 2020

description: Kodi is an Austronesian language spoken in Sumba Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, eastern Indonesia. Even though some work has been done on Kodi (Sukerti 2013, inter alia), it remains a largely under-documented language. Further, Kodi is vulnerable or threatened because Indonesian, the prestigious national language, is used in most sociolinguistic domains outside the domestic sphere (e.g., education, public offices, religious services). It has also penetrated almost every Kodi household through such things as media and information technology (e.g., television and smartphones). Current research aims to collect audio-visual data to meet the urgent need for fuller documentation and preservation of Kodi language and culture.

Non-genericity of the Nariai solutions: I. Asymptotics and spatially homogeneous perturbations
Creators: name: Beyer, Florian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This is the first of two papers where we study the asymptotics of the generalized Nariai solutions and its relation to the cosmic no-hair conjecture. According to the cosmic no-hair conjecture, generic expanding solutions of Einstein's field equations in vacuum with a positive cosmological constant isotropize and approach the de-Sitter solution asymptotically. The family of solutions which we introduce as "generalized Nariai solutions", however, shows quite unusual asymptotics and hence should be non-generic in some sense. In this paper, we list basic facts for the Nariai solutions and characterize their asymptotic behavior geometrically. One particular result is a rigorous proof of the fact that the Nariai solutions do not possess smooth conformal boundaries. We proceed by explaining the non-genericity within the class of spatially homogeneous solutions. It turns out that perturbations of the three isometry classes of generalized Nariai solutions are related to different mass regimes of Schwarzschild de-Sitter solutions. A motivation for our work here is to prepare the second paper devoted to the study of the instability of the Nariai solutions for Gowdy symmetry. We will be particularly interested in the construction of new and in principle arbitrarily complicated cosmological black hole solutions.
