description: Rotational misalignment of two stacked honeycomb lattices produces a moiré pattern that is observable in scanning tunneling microscopy as a small modulation of the apparent surface height. This is known from experiments on highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite. Here, we observe the combined effect of three-layer moiré patterns in multilayer graphene grown on SiC ($000\bar{1}$). Small-angle rotations between the first and third layer are shown to produce a "double-moiré" pattern, resulting from the interference of moiré patterns from the first three layers. These patterns are strongly affected by relative lattice strain between the layers. We model the moiré patterns as a beat-period of the mismatched reciprocal lattice vectors and show how these patterns can be used to determine the relative strain between lattices, in analogy to strain measurement by optical moiré interferometry.

description: Let KO(X) be the real and KSP(X) be the quaternionic K-theory of a finite CW-complex X . The tensor product and the exterior powers of vector bundles induce on L(X) = KO(X) ⊕ KSP(X) the structure of Z₂ -graded λ-ring. In this thesis it is shown, that the Adams operations Ѱk : L(X) → L(X) , k = l, 2, 3,..., which are associated to this λ-ring, are ring homomorphisms and satisfy the composition law Ѱk ₀ Ѱℓ = Ѱℓk = Ѱℓ ₀ Ѱk , k, ℓ = 1, 2, 3,... Finally, the ring L(X) together with its Ѱ-operations is explicitely determined for the quaternionic and complex projective spaces.

description: The relationship among cyberbullying victimization, lower self-esteem, and internet addiction has been well-established. Yet, little research exists that explains the nature of these associations, and no previous work has considered the inability to identify or describe one’s emotions, namely, alexithymia, as a potential mediator of these links. The present study sought to investigate the indirect effects of cyberbullying victimization on self-esteem and internet addiction, mediated by alexithymia. The sample consisted of 1,442 participants between 12 and 17 years (Mage = 14.17, SD = 1.38, 51.5% male) from Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. Results showed a direct relationship between cyberbullying victimization and self-esteem and an indirect association mediated by alexithymia in the Dutch sample. However, in the German and U.S. samples, only an indirect relationship via alexithymia, but not a direct effect of cyberbullying victimization on self-esteem, was found. Consistent across the three country samples, cyberbullying victimization and internet addiction were directly and also indirectly associated via alexithymia. In sum, findings indicate that alexithymia might help better understand which detrimental effects cyberbullying victimization has on adolescent psychological health. Thus, cyberbullying prevention programs should consider implementing elements that educate adolescents on the ability to identify and describe their own emotions.

description: Utilising a reconstructed ancestral mitochondrial genome of a clade to design hybridisation capture baits can provide the opportunity for recovering mitochondrial sequences from all its descendent and even sister lineages. This approach is useful for taxa with no extant close relatives, as is often the case for rare or extinct species, and is a viable approach for the analysis of historical museum specimens. Asiatic linsangs (genus Prionodon) exemplify this situation, being rare Southeast Asian carnivores for which little molecular data is available. Using ancestral capture we recover partial mitochondrial genome sequences for seven banded linsangs (P. linsang) from historical specimens, representing the first intraspecific genetic dataset for this species. We additionally assemble a high quality mitogenome for the banded linsang using shotgun sequencing for time-calibrated phylogenetic analysis. This reveals a deep divergence between the two Asiatic linsang species (P. linsang, P. pardicolor), with an estimated divergence of ~12 million years (Ma). Although our sample size precludes any robust interpretation of the population structure of the banded linsang, we recover two distinct matrilines with an estimated tMRCA of ~1 Ma. Our results can be used as a basis for further investigation of the Asiatic linsangs, and further demonstrate the utility of ancestral capture for studying divergent taxa without close relatives.

description: We compare the behavior of a new two-dimensional aqueous colloidal model system with a simple numerical treatment. To the first order the attractive interaction between the colloids induced by an in-plane rotating ac electric field is dipolar, while the charge stabilization leads to a shorter ranged, Yukawa-like repulsion. In the crystal-like 'rafts' formed at sufficient field strengths, we find quantitative agreement between experiment and Monte Carlo simulation, except in the case of strongly interacting systems, where the well depth of the effective potential exceeds 250 times the thermal energy. The 'lattice constant' of the crystal-like raft is located approximately at the minimum of the effective potential, resulting from the sum of the Yukawa and dipolar interactions.The experimental system has display applications, owing to the possibility of tuning the lattice spacing with the external electric field. Limitations in the applied field strength and relative range of the electrostatic interactions of the particles result in a reduction in tunable lattice spacing for small and large particles, respectively. The optimal particle size for maximizing the lattice spacing tunability was found to be around 1000 nm.

description: The Sun is a variable star whose magnetic activity and total irradiance vary on a timescale of approximately 11 years. The current activity minimum has attracted considerable interest because of its unusual duration and depth. This raises the question: what might be happening beneath the surface where the magnetic activity ultimately originates? The surface activity can be linked to the conditions in the solar interior by the observation and analysis of the frequencies of the Sun's natural seismic modes of oscillation - the p modes. These seismic frequencies respond to changes in activity and are probes of conditions within the Sun. The Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network (BiSON) has made measurements of p-mode frequencies over the last three solar activity cycles, and so is in a unique position to explore the current unusual and extended solar minimum. We show that the BiSON data reveal significant variations of the p-mode frequencies during the current minimum. This is in marked contrast to the surface activity observations, which show little variation over the same period. The level of the minimum is significantly deeper in the p-mode frequencies than in the surface observations. We observe a quasi-biennial signal in the p-mode frequencies, which has not previously been observed at mid- and low-activity levels. The stark differences in the behavior of the frequencies and the surface activity measures point to activity-related processes occurring in the solar interior, which are yet to reach the surface, where they may be attenuated.

description: Independent of established data centers, and partly for my own research, since 1989 I have been collecting the tabular data from over 2600 articles concerned with radio sources and extragalactic objects in general. Optical character recognition (OCR) was used to recover tables from 740 papers. Tables from only 41 percent of the 2600 articles are available in the CDS or CATS catalog collections, and only slightly better coverage is estimated for the NED database. This fraction is not better for articles published electronically since 2001. Both object databases (NED, SIMBAD, LEDA) as well as catalog browsers (VizieR, CATS) need to be consulted to obtain the most complete information on astronomical objects. More human resources at the data centers and better collaboration between authors, referees, editors, publishers, and data centers are required to improve data coverage and accessibility. The current efforts within the Virtual Observatory (VO) project, to provide retrieval and analysis tools for different types of published and archival data stored at various sites, should be balanced by an equal effort to recover and include large amounts of published data not currently available in this way.

Activity Dependent Branching Ratios in Stocks, Solar X-ray Flux, and the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld Sandpile Model

description: We define an activity dependent branching ratio that allows comparison of different time series $X_{t}$. The branching ratio $b_x$ is defined as $b_x= E[ξ_x/x]$. The random variable $ξ_x$ is the value of the next signal given that the previous one is equal to $x$, so $ξ_x=\{X_{t+1}|X_t=x\}$. If $b_x>1$, the process is on average supercritical when the signal is equal to $x$, while if $b_x<1$, it is subcritical. For stock prices we find $b_x=1$ within statistical uncertainty, for all $x$, consistent with an ``efficient market hypothesis''. For stock volumes, solar X-ray flux intensities, and the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) sandpile model, $b_x$ is supercritical for small values of activity and subcritical for the largest ones, indicating a tendency to return to a typical value. For stock volumes this tendency has an approximate power law behavior. For solar X-ray flux and the BTW model, there is a broad regime of activity where $b_x \simeq 1$, which we interpret as an indicator of critical behavior. This is true despite different underlying probability distributions for $X_t$, and for $ξ_x$. For the BTW model the distribution of $ξ_x$ is Gaussian, for $x$ sufficiently larger than one, and its variance grows linearly with $x$. Hence, the activity in the BTW model obeys a central limit theorem when sampling over past histories. The broad region of activity where $b_x$ is close to one disappears once bulk dissipation is introduced in the BTW model -- supporting our hypothesis that it is an indicator of criticality.

title: An Analysis of Item Bias in the WISC-R with Kainaiwa Native Canadian Children
Creators: name: Pace, Deborah Faith
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: The present study examined the responses of 332 Kainai students ranging in age from 6 to 16 years to the Information, Arithmetic, and Picture Completion subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) in order to determine the validity of these subtests as a measure of their intelligence. Two indices of validity were assessed: (a) subtest unidimensionality, and (b) order of item difficulty. With regard to the assumption of unidimensionality, examination of the data indicated low item-factor loadings on the Information, Arithmetic, and Picture Completion subtests. Examination of difficulty parameters revealed a nonlinear item difficulty order on all three subtests.
These results support the conclusion of previous research that the WISC-R does not adequately assess the intelligence of Native children. Possible bases for the invalidity of the WISC-R for this population are discussed and recommendations for future research are presented.
title: Meta-Analysis of Home Visiting Research with Low-Income Families: Client, Intervention, and Outcome Characteristics
Creators: name: Morris, Christopher H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: Leaders in the field of home visiting and family support research have indicated that the inclusion of home visiting in comprehensive services for low-income families with young children can play a key role in improving a wide variety of outcomes for at-risk children and their families. These recommendations have been based in part on selected empirical findings from the home visiting literature. However, synthesis of empirical findings has proven difficult, due to the heterogeneity of this population and the diverse applications of home visiting as a service delivery strategy.
The present meta-analysis examined a representative sample of the peer-reviewed literature to provide a comprehensive, quantified description of the features and findings of this literature. The four research questions addressed by the meta-analysis provide a framework for this description. The first research question concerned a description of research designs and methodological features found in the literature. The second and third research questions concerned, respectively, descriptions of the samples and interventions employed in primary studies. The final research question concerned the examination of those domains in which primary studies measured outcomes, and the quantification of outcomes in terms of standardized mean difference effect sizes.
Summarization of primary studies' methodological features illustrated specific issues that may be addressed in the design of future home visiting research, and laid a basis for the examination of meta-analysis findings. The composition of primary studies' samples reflected the heterogeneity expected from a population defined by a parameter as broad as "low-income," yet included lacunae that may represent subgroups among the poor that are not being studied. Data providing an assessment of several types of intervention features have implications for questions of treatment efficacy, and for future home visiting research. Mean effect sizes in several domains were found to have a magnitude of practical significance for child and family outcomes. Findings of this project provide a structure for continued meta-analysis of this body of literature, and highlight potential areas for further primary research. Meta-analysis data lend support to previous recommendations, as well as point out gaps in our knowledge.

Year: 1995

description: A relatively recent measure, the Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales (PKBS), has been developed to measure both problem behavior and social competence in young children. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the construct validity of the PKBS through the application of several validation procedures. Results of the study support construct validity of the PKBS. In a discriminant analysis, the PKBS classified correctly 89.36% of the 94 subjects. A secondary purpose of this study was to examine social-emotional behavior differences between kindergarten students who were divided into different behavioral status groups based on a teacher nomination procedure: a behaviorally at-risk group comprised of both internalizing and externalizing students and a comparison group of behaviorally typical students. Statistically significant differences were found between groups on most variables.

description: We review the rich phenomena associated with neutrino flavor transformation in the presence of neutrino self-coupling. Our exposition centers on three collective neutrino oscillation scenarios: a simple bipolar neutrino system that initially consists of mono-energetic electron neutrinos and antineutrinos; a homogeneous and isotropic neutrino gas with multiple neutrino/antineutrino species and continuous energy spectra; and a generic neutrino gas in an anisotropic environment. We use each of these scenarios to illustrate key facets of collective neutrino oscillations. We discuss the implications of collective neutrino flavor oscillations for core collapse supernova physics and for the prospects of obtaining fundamental neutrino properties, e.g., the neutrino mass hierarchy and $θ_{13}$ from a future observed supernova neutrino signal.

Methods of temporal differences for risk-averse dynamic programming and learning
Creators: name: Kose, Umit
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Stochastic sequential decision-making problems are generally modeled and solved as Markov decision processes. When the decision-makers are risk-averse, their risk-aversion can be incorporated into the model using dynamic risk-measures. Such risk-averse Markov decision processes can be theoretically solved by specialized dynamic programming methods. However, when the state space of the system becomes very large, then such methods become impractical.We consider reinforcement learning with performance evaluated by a dynamic risk measure for Markov decision processes. We use a linear value function approximation scheme and construct a projected risk-averse dynamic programming equation that involves this scheme. We study the properties of this equation. To solve this equation, we propose risk-averse counterparts of the methods of temporal differences and we prove their convergence with probability one. We also perform an empirical study on a complex transportation problem where we demonstrate that the risk-averse methods of temporal differences outperform the well known risk-neutral methods in terms of average profit over time.

description: Cell type annotation is a fundamental task in the analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing data. In this work, we present CellO, a machine learning-based tool for annotating human RNA-seq data with the Cell Ontology. CellO enables accurate and standardized cell type classification by considering the rich hierarchical structure of known cell types, a source of prior knowledge that is not utilized by existing methods. Furthemore, CellO comes pre-trained on a novel, comprehensive dataset of human, healthy, untreated primary samples in the Sequence Read Archive, which to the best of our knowledge, is the most diverse curated collection of primary cell data to date. CellO’s comprehensive training set enables it to run out-of-the-box on diverse cell types and achieves superior or competitive performance when compared to existing state-of-the-art methods. Lastly, CellO’s linear models are easily interpreted, thereby enabling exploration of cell type-specific expression signatures across the ontology. To this end, we also present the CellO Viewer: a web application for exploring CellO’s models across the ontology.
Quickly compose custom interactive genomic visualization apps in R/Bioc with epiviz components

description: Data Scientists often perform analysis in computational environments (R/Bioconductor) and explore the results and underlying data using interactive visualization tools (web browsers or desktop tools). Unfortunately, the majority of genome browsers and the visualizations built around them are often tightly coupled with each other and cannot be integrated with other web-based workflows or tools making it difficult to quickly build interesting interactive visualization apps.

To facilitate this task, we built a collection of modular elements (or widgets) to create interactive genomic applications and visualizations (Epiviz Components). These elements are built using the custom element specifications (W3C) and can be integrated with most frameworks that use HTML. Components include - 1) application components to control navigation and user workspaces, 2) data components to interact with a shiny server and 3) visualization components to interactively visualize genomic data as various charts (heatmap, scatter plots, line tracks, stacked plots etc).

In this talk we show how to use the epivizrChart R/Bioconductor package to quickly compose interactive genomic visualization apps that are tightly integrated with Bioconductor analysis workflows. epivizrChart is an R interface to the component library that allows users to visualize and explore data from various bioconductor data objects (annotations, summarized experiment, granges etc). The package allows developers to use these visualization components within interactive R/Markdown documents or integrate with R/Shiny applications.

description: We consider an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) loaded in a biased double-well trap with tunneling rate $K$ and inter-atomic interaction $U$. The BEC is prepared such that all $N$ atoms are in the left well. We drive the system by sweeping the potential difference $ε$ between the two wells. Depending on the interaction $u=NU/K$, and the sweep rate $\dotε$, we distinguish three dynamical regimes: adiabatic, diabatic, and sudden, and consider the occupation statistics of the final state. The analysis goes beyond mean-field theory and is complemented by a semiclassical picture.

title: The Effects of Critical Thinking Skills Training on Student Performance in an Educational Psychology Class
Creators: name: Gee, Eric J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: Critical thinking skills have become an important part of current educational practices. However, there is little empirical evidence comparing the effectiveness of the programs teaching these skills. In addition, there are questions as to whether the skills should be taught within the class content or separate from the class content.
This study assigned students attending labs as part of an educational psychology class to two experimental conditions (content-based and content-free) and a control condition. Measures were scores on lab papers and test scores for the class. In addition, an attitude survey was used to assess student attitudes to each condition, and the overall quality of the labs was assessed. An analysis of variance was performed on the data. Results indicated little difference between experimental and control conditions.
Compound selection assisted by Bayesian inference of efficacy metrics

Year: 2020

description: Chemical compounds are tested in various assays from which Efficacy Metrics (EM) can be estimated. Compounds are selected with the aim of identifying at least one sufficiently potent and efficient to go into preclinical testing. Selection is based on EM meeting a specific threshold or by comparison to other compounds.
Current analysis methods only suggest estimates of EM and hardly consider the inevitable experimental noise, thus failing to quantify the uncertainty on EM on which conclusions are based. We propose to extend our previously introduced rigorous statistical methods (EM inference) to a panel of compounds. Given an efficacy criteria, we aim at identifying the compounds with the highest probability of meeting that criteria.
We use a hierarchical Bayesian model to infer EM from dose-response assays. Given the empirical values distributions for an EM of interest, our novel ranking method returns the probability that each compounds within a set is able to achieve a given rank. We are able to identify all compounds of a experimental dose-response set with at least 1% chance of being amongst the best for a given EM. To further analysis, we generate DAGs where path between two compounds identifies which is statistically better.
title: The Efficacy of a Self-Administered Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Program for Body Image Dissatisfaction in Women with Subclinical Bulimia Nervosa
Creators: name: Emerson, Ellen N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: Subjects for this study were 40 women (N= 40) with subclinical bulimia nervosa who were randomly assigned to either a Cognitive Behavioral Treatment group (CBT) or to a waiting list control group. Treatment was provided for 8 weeks in an individual, self-administered format, using an audio-taped treatment package for Body Image Dissatisfaction (BID). Cognitive behavioral treatment focused on changing negative thoughts and feelings about one's body. No specific treatment focused on changing eating symptomatology or concomitant symptoms, although these were assessed. The waiting list control condition received assessment, followed by 8 weeks of no treatment. Treatment outcome measures were three self-report scales that assessed BID and two measures that assessed eating symptomatology and concomitant symptoms. At posttest, treated subjects showed improvement on two of three measures of BID, with a trend towards improvement on the third measure, when compared to waiting list control subjects. Treated subjects also showed a trend towards improved eating symptomatology and concomitant symptoms such as depression and anxiety, relative to waiting list control subjects. The results indicated that CBT is effective for decreasing BID in women with subclinical bulimia nervosa when administered in a self-directed manner.
title: A Meta-Analytic Review of Studies Examining the Effects of Childhood Sexual Abuse in Women
Creators: name: Dagang, Sheryl A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: Childhood sexual abuse is a prevalent problem that impacts adult women and the mental health professionals who treat them. Decades of studies have been conducted examining the impact of childhood sexual abuse in order to be better able to treat clients with this history. Yet, few clear guidelines have resulted from these activities.
In order to gain a clearer picture of this research, a meta-analysis was conducted on 41 published studies to describe the nature of the problem, the subjects involved in these studies, the measures used to determine effect, and the impact of eight variables that potentially mediate the effect of childhood sexual abuse. The results of this meta-analysis show that authors use different definitions, sample from different populations, report different demographic data, and use different measures of outcome. Typical studies use definitions based on the relationship of the victim to the perpetrator and difference between victim and perpetrator in age. While many reviewers discuss the potential impact and importance of several demographic variables, including age, educational level, and marital status, few studies in this meta-analysis included this information.
Subjects are typically mental health clients or students; however, some studies did a:tempt to use a random sample from the general population. Most studies used a life-history interview or questionnaire in order to obtain demographic data and information about the nature of the sexual abuse. Most studies also utilized an objective measure of outcome, typically a measure of psychopathology; however, few studies used the same tool.
It was concluded that there is evidence to indicate a negative effect of sexual abuse in women. However, this evidence is not overwhelming. Also, it was concluded that in order to increase the level of understanding in this area, it is imperative to begin to standardize a protocol for this research. A standardized protocol would include a clearly stated definition of childhood sexual abuse, clearly stated demographic information, and clearly reported use of outcome measures and the outcomes. Standardization would enable researchers to replicate studies and compare results, processes which are invaluable to increase scientific understanding of the long-term effects of sexual abuse in adult women.

description: Using the ADM formalism in the minisuperspace, we obtain the commutative and noncommutative exact classical solutions and exact wave function to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation with an arbitrary factor ordering, for the anisotropic Bianchi type I cosmological model, coupled to a scalar field, cosmological term and barotropic perfect fluid. We introduce noncommutative scale factors, considering that all minisuperspace variables $\rm q^i$ do not commute, so the symplectic structure was modified. In the classical regime, it is shown that the anisotropic parameter $\rm β_{\pm nc}$ and the field $ϕ$, for some value in the $λ_{eff}$ cosmological term and noncommutative $θ$ parameter, present a dynamical isotropization up to a critical cosmic time $t_{c}$; after this time, the effects of isotropization in the noncommutative minisuperspace seems to disappear. In the quantum regimen, the probability density presents a new structure that corresponds to the value of the noncommutativity parameter.

We present the renormalization scheme used in our system and show some numerical results of decay widths of sfermions and gluino using the SPS1a' parameter set and other SUSY parameter sets.

description: In Ayache and Taqqu (2005), the multifractional Brownian (mBm) motion is obtained by replacing the constant parameter $H$ of the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) by a smooth enough functional parameter $H(.)$ depending on the time $t$. Here, we consider the process $Z$ obtained by replacing in the wavelet expansion of the fBm the index $H$ by a function $H(.)$ depending on the dyadic point $k/2^j$. This process was introduced in Benassi et al (2000) to model fBm with piece-wise constant Hurst index and continuous paths. In this work, we investigate the case where the functional parameter satisfies an uniform Hölder condition of order $β>\sup_{t\in \rit} H(t)$ and ones shows that, in this case, the process $Z$ is very similar to the mBm in the following senses: i) the difference between $Z$ and a mBm satisfies an uniform Hölder condition of order $d>\sup_{t\in \R} H(t)$; ii) as a by product, one deduces that at each point $t\in \R$ the pointwise Hölder exponent of $Z$ is $H(t)$ and that $Z$ is tangent to a fBm with Hurst parameter $H(t)$.

description: With one exception, previous analyses of the measurement accuracy of gravitational wave experiments for comparable-mass binary systems have neglected either spin-precession effects or subdominant harmonics and amplitude modulations. Here we give the first explicit description of how these effects combine to improve parameter estimation. We consider supermassive black hole binaries as expected to be observed with the planned space-based interferometer LISA, and study the measurement accuracy for several astrophysically interesting parameters obtainable taking into account the full 2PN waveform for spinning bodies, as well as spin-precession effects. We find that for binaries with a total mass in the range 10^5 M_Sun < M < 10^7 M_Sun at a redshift of 1, a factor ~1.5 is in general gained in accuracy, with the notable exception of the determination of the individual masses in equal-mass systems, for which a factor ~5 can be gained. We also find, as could be expected, that using the full waveform helps increasing the upper mass limit for detection, which can be as high as M = 10^8 M_Sun at a redshift of 1, as well as the redshift limit where some information can be extracted from a system, which is roughly z = 10 for M < 10^7 M_Sun, 1.5-5 times higher than with the restricted waveform. We computed that the full waveform allows to use supermassive black hole binaries as standard sirens up to a redshift of z = 1.6, about 0.4 larger than what previous studies allowed. We found that for lower unequal-mass binary systems, the measurement accuracy is not as drastically improved as for other systems. This suggests that for these systems, adding parameters such as eccentricity or alternative gravity parameters could be achieved without much loss in the accuracy.

title: Gender and Depression: Analysis of the Effects of Sex Roles, Sex-Role Self-Discrepancy, and Attributional Style
Creators: name: Cutler, Scott V.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of attributional style, sex roles, and sex-role self-discrepancy in the relationship between gender and depression. Epidemiological studies report a higher incidence of depression among women then men (approximately 2:1). Among the various theories suggested to explain this gender difference, sex roles, attributional style, and self-discrepancy have been conceived as possible explanations. The relationship between gender and depression may be better understood through examining the possible contribution of these three independent variables.
To examine these theories, a sample of 130 subjects was drawn from clients at the USU Counseling Center, the USU Community Clinic, the Logan Regional Hospital, and students from an introductory psychology class at USU. Participation was based on voluntary informed consent of the subjects and approval of the above mentioned institutions. Each subject completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Extended Attributional Style Questionnaire (EASQ), and a revised version of the short Bern Sex-Role Inventory (SBSRI) measuring ideal versus actual self.
Path analysis was used to examine the sequence of the relationships presumed by the androgyny model, congruence model, and masculinity model. Neither sex role was found to correlate significantly with depression. Overall, the directions of the path coefficients best supported the androgyny model, but these coefficients were too weak to explain the variance. Attributional style was related to depression, but no gender difference was found in the correlation between attributional style and depression.
The correlation coefficient between feminine self-discrepancy and depression was positive but statistically insignificant for the females from the clinical sample and very small for females from the student sample. Overall, attributional style, sex-roles, and self-discrepancy in sex-role characteristics were not found to contribute to the higher rate of depression in women.

description: Antiferromagnetism of ultracold fermions in an optical lattice can be detected by Bragg diffraction of light, in analogy to the diffraction of neutrons from solid state materials. A finite sublattice magnetization will lead to a Bragg peak from the (1/2 1/2 1/2) crystal plane with an intensity depending on details of the atomic states, the frequency and polarization of the probe beam, the direction and magnitude of the sublattice magnetization, and the finite optical density of the sample. Accounting for these effects we make quantitative predictions about the scattering intensity and find that with experimentally feasible parameters the signal can be readily measured with a CCD camera or a photodiode and used to detect antiferromagnetic order.

description: In this article, a sublinear expectation induced by $G$-expectation is introduced, which is called $G$-evaluation for convenience. As an application, we prove that any $ξ\in L^β_G(Ω_T)$ with some $β>1$ the decomposition theorem holds and any $β>1$ integrable symmetric $G$-martingale can be represented as an It$\hat{o}'s$ integral w.r.t $G$-Brownian motion. As a byproduct, we prove a regular property for $G$-martingale: Any $G$-martingale $\{M_t\}$ has a quasi-continuous version

Bing's dogbone space and curtis' conjecture
Creators: name: Hutchings, John Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Bing's dogbone space D is an upper semi continuous decomposition space of E³ which fails to be E³ although the associated decomposition consists only of points and tame arcs. It has proved difficult to find topological properties of D which distinguish it from E³. In this paper, we prove a conjecture of Morton Curtis in 1961 that certain points of D fail to possess small simply connected neighbourhoods.
title: Common Dimensions of Social Skills of Children and Adolescents: A Review and Analysis of the Literature
Creators: name: Caldarella, Paul
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: Previous research in the area of social skills of children and adolescents has resulted in confusion over the number and name of empirically derived dimensions. While much work has been done to derive empirically based taxonomies of child and adolescent problem behaviors, such is not the case for positive social behaviors. The present study conducted an extensive review, analysis, and synthesis of over two decades of factor analytic research on child and adolescent social skills to derive an empirically based taxonomy.
Results suggest five dimensions that occurred in over one third of the studies: Peer Relations, Self-Management, Academic, Cooperation, and Assertion. The most common social skills associated with these dimensions are presented. It is advised that clinicians and researchers begin employing this taxonomy to: (a) provide a nomenclature by which to refer to the five positive social skill patterns, (b) identify dimensions on which children or adolescents may have deficits, (c) design interventions to increase the occurrence of these skills, all of which have been empirically related to important social outcomes, (d) measure the effects of interventions, and (e) aid in theory development.
