description: The latest advances in the design of vehicles with the adaptive level of automation pose new challenges in the vehicle-driver interaction. Safety requirements underline the need to explore optimal cockpit architectures with regard to driver cognitive and perceptual workload, eyes-off-the-road time and situation awareness. We propose to integrate existing task analysis approaches into system architecture evaluation for the early-stage design optimization. We built the discrete-event simulation tool and applied it within the multi-sensory (sight, sound, touch) cockpit design industrial project.

description: Conjoint analysis was used to examine buyer preferences toward farm-raised hybrid striped bass at the wholesale, retail, and restaurant levels. Low price and round form were found to be important attributes in the product preference rating for the wholesale and retail markets. The filleted form contributed the most to restaurants' preference rating. Following these, larger fish size was preferred by all markets.

description: Measurements of the longitudinal spin cross section asymmetry for deep inelastic muon-nucleon interactions with two high transverse momentum hadrons ($p_T >$ 0.7 GeV) in the final state are presented for SMC data for polarized proton and deuteron and for data on polarized deuteron from COMPASS taken in 2002 and 2003. The muon asymmetries determined with a cut on $Q^2>$ 1 GeV$^2$ in SMC are: $A_p = 0.03 \pm 0.057\pm 0.01$ and $A_d = 0.070 \pm 0.076 \pm 0.010$, respectively. From these values a gluon polarization $ΔG /G = -0.20\pm 0.28\pm 0.10$ was obtained at an average fraction of nucleon momentum carried by gluons $η= 0.07$. The measured asymmetry (with cut on $Q^2>$ 1 GeV$^2$) in COMPASS is $(A_d/D) = -0.015 \pm 0.08 \pm 0.013$ where D is depolarization factor and the gluon polarization $ΔG /G = 0.06\pm 0.31\pm

description: The decays of non-strange positive parity excited baryons via emission of a pseudo-scalar meson are studied in the framework of the 1/Nc expansion to order 1/Nc. In particular, the pionic decays of the l=0 Roper baryons and of the l=2 baryons in the mass interval 1680-1950 MeV are analyzed using the available partial decay widths. Decay widths by emission of an eta meson are shown to be suppressed by a factor 1/Nc^2 with respect to the pionic ones.

description: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of different laser irradiations including Nd-YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser; Nd:Y3Al5O12), Er-YAG (erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser, erbium YAG laser), and Carbon dioxide (CO2) infrared lasers on surface topography of zirconia-based ceramics samples which were prepared by copy milling technique. Three dimensional (3D) atomic force microscopy (AFM) images were applied to investigate surface properties by extracting information via MountainsMap® Premium software which divides the surface into peaks and pits and through watershed segmentation algorithm. This method made motif analysis possible by detecting surface dimensions, curvature, volume, perimeters, shape, structure, etc.

description: Complex nonequilibrium systems are often effectively described by a `statistics of a statistics', in short, a `superstatistics'. We describe how to proceed from a given experimental time series to a superstatistical description. We argue that many experimental data fall into three different universality classes: chi^2-superstatistics (Tsallis statistics), inverse chi^2-superstatistics, and log-normal superstatistics. We discuss how to extract the two relevant well separated superstatistical time scales tau and T, the probability density of the superstatistical parameter beta, and the correlation function for beta from the experimental data. We illustrate our approach by applying it to velocity time series measured in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, which is well described by log-normal superstatistics and exhibits clear time scale separation.

description: Tornquist input quantity indices were used to derive total and partial factor productivity measures for U.S. cotton across time, region, and scale. Total factor productivity for U.S. cotton increased .2 percent per year between 1974 and 1982. Partial productivity measures revealed that yield growth was about .6 percent and input use grew about .4 percent per year. Cotton enterprises in Alabama and Mississippi gained and those in the Texas High Plains lost competitive advantage relative to California. In 1982, very large (1750-5900 acres) and large (950-1749 acres) cotton enterprises were 2 percent more productive than medium-size enterprises (570-949 acres).

description: The magnetic properties of the spin-5/2 double molybdate LiFe(MoO$_4$)$_2$ have been characterized by heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility, and neutron powder diffraction techniques. Unlike the multiferroic system LiFe(MoO$_4$)$_2$ which exhibits two successive magnetic transitions, LiFe(MoO$_4$)$_2$ undergoes only one antiferromagnetic transition at $T_N$ ~ 23.8 K. Its antiferromagnetic magnetic structure with the commensurate propagation vector k = (0, 0.5, 0) has been determined. Density functional theory calculations confirm the antiferromagnetic ground state and provide a numerical estimate of the relevant exchange coupling constants.

description: Predicted crop yields and wind erosion rates from a multi-year/multi-crop growth simulation model provided input into a multi-period recursive QP model to evaluate erosion implications during the transition to dryland crop production on the Texas Southern High Plains. Three farm-program participation options were considered in this study. Participation in an extension of the current farm program resulted in an increase in net returns and wind erosion rates above nonparticipation. Imposition of a soil loss limit without consideration of a flexible base option can significantly reduce discounted present values. Increasing risk aversion across producers affects crop mix selection which can result in lower per acre wind erosion rates for this particular region.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: A risk programming model was developed to evaluate the tradeoffs between risk and expected returns in beef-forage production systems. The specification represents nutrient and intake considerations when allocating forage among cattle enterprises; it also incorporates the various sources of risk facing livestock producers. Efficient ranch organizations were derived for a representative eastern Oklahoma ranch using MOTAD and Target-MOTAD formulations. Diversification of forage enterprises, introduction of cow-calf enterprises, and retained ownership of weaned calves were identified as important responses to reductions in acceptable levels of risk. Results also indicated efficient ranch plans to be sensitive to the risk criteria and producer's willingness to accept risk.

The results provide insights into factors affecting basis patterns for corn.

description: The unconditional security of a quantum key distribution protocol is often defined in terms of the accessible information, that is, the maximum mutual information between the distributed key S and the outcome of an optimal measurement on the adversary's (quantum) system. We show that, even if this quantity is small, certain parts of the key S might still be completely insecure when S is used in applications, such as for one-time pad encryption. This flaw is due to a locking property of the accessible information: one additional (physical) bit of information might increase the accessible information by more than one bit.

description: The motion of a particle is studied in a random space-time. It is assumed that the velocity is small enough for the non-relativistic approximation to be valid. The randomness of the metric induces a diffusion in coordinate space. Hence it is shown that the evolution of the probability density is given by Schroedinger equation.

The impact of protective perfectionistic self-presentation on group psychotherapy process and outcome
Creators: name: Flynn, Carol Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Recent studies reported that perfectionism was linked to negative outcome for all interventions in the NIMH Treatment of Depression Collaborative Research Program. Specifically, perfectionism impeded progress following the eighth session of psychotherapy. The present study investigated the impact of perfectionistic self-presentation (the need to appear to be perfect) on members' experience of a short-term interpersonal therapy group. Individuals who score highly on protective forms of perfectionistic self-presentation avoid being seen as imperfect or foolish and avoid admitting to any mistakes or shortcomings. Therefore, it was anticipated that protective forms of perfectionistic self-presentation would be associated with greater therapy-related stress as assessed by self-report of anxiety, salivary Cortisol levels (a physiological indicator of stress), and behavioural indicators such as tardiness, missed sessions, and lack of self-disclosure during therapy. In addition, a mediational model was proposed in which protective forms of perfectionistic self-presentation may lead to discomfort during the process of therapy, which, in turn, results in poor therapy outcome. Therapy outcome was evaluated using measures of trait perfectionism, psychological symptomatology, stress reactivity, and ratings of benefit by group members, therapists, and friends or family members of each group member. Results tended to support initial hypotheses, as well as past research findings suggesting that perfectionists experience greater difficulties later in the course of therapy. In particular, concerns about disclosing imperfections were associated with increased post-session anxiety late in therapy, missing sessions without calling to provide an excuse, and for women, a relative decrease in disclosure over the course of therapy compared to other participants. Nondisclosure of imperfections also predicted less improvement in depression scores and skin conductance stress reactivity following treatment. Finally, the impact of nondisclosure of imperfections on negative therapy outcome was partially mediated by elevated anxiety late in therapy, and for women, lack of increase in disclosure over the course of therapy. Thus, this study provides evidence of the adverse impact of perfectionistic self-presentation on clients' affect and engagement within the therapy context, suggesting two mechanisms that may lead perfectionists to experience poor therapy outcome.

description: The optical response of the lowest energy isomers of the B_20 family is calculated using time-dependent density functional theory within a real-space, real-time scheme. Significant differences are found among the absorption spectra of the clusters studied. We show that these differences can be easily related to changes in the overall geometry. Optical spectroscopy is thus an efficient tool to characterize the planar to tubular structural transition, known to be present in these boron based systems.

description: Previous nutrient demand and consumption analyses show that several economic and sociodemographic variables are often associated with intakes. However, most of the literature does not account for differences among individuals within households. This study reviewed possible definitions of nutrient differences with respect to nutritional needs. Nutrient levels defined by the Thrifty Food Plan were used as subsistence levels for households in the 1977-78 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. Probit analysis showed that the usual variables found related to nutrient intakes did not differentiate among subsistence groups. Household life cycle and working female heads influenced whether the household was under its requirement level.

description: Motivated by the idea of entanglement loss along Renormalization Group flows, analytical majorization relations are proven for the ground state of (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theories. For any of these theories, majorization is proven to hold in the spectrum of the reduced density matrices in a bipartite system when changing the size L of one of the subsystems. Continuous majorization along uniparametric flows is also proven as long as part of the conformal structure is preserved under the deformation and some monotonicity conditions hold as well. As particular examples of our derivations, we study the cases of the XX, Heisenberg and XY quantum spin chains. Our results provide in a rigorous way explicit proves for all the majorization conjectures raised by Latorre, Lutken, Rico, Vidal and Kitaev in previous papers on quantum spin chains.

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of two photoactivation modes of dental LED light-curing unit (LCUs) (conventional and “Soft Start” mode) on surface texture parameters of two dental resin-based nanocomposites. LED LCUs were considered as standard light-curing devices in contemporary dental practice. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was applied to investigate surface morphology on 90 × 90 μm2 scanning area through 2D multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis with computational algorithms basis. In order to compare 3D surface roughness at nanometer scale, singularity spectrum f[α] was used which characterize local scale properties of multifractal nature of samples. The results confirmed that larger spectrum width Δα (Δα = αmax − αmin) of f(α) is associated with non-uniform surface morphology. Moreover, materials whose polymerization was photoactivated by the “soft start” polymerization mode, showed better quality of the surface microstructure with lower values of AFM surface texture parameters.

description: In World Agriculture in Disarray I argued that the result of government intervention in agriculture would be to increase the costs of farm policies to taxpayers and consumers and to restrict agricultural trade. A review of the current situation in world agriculture confirms these projections. The policies of the major countries in relation to agriculture have clearly not succeeded in their aims and at the same time have created many problems, particularly in the sphere of agricultural trade. The solution to the crisis in the farm sector must take account of the inherent characteristics of agriculture itself.

description: Does the size of atoms present a lower limit to the size of electronic structures that can be fabricated in solids? This limit can be overcome by using devices that exploit quantum mechanical scattering of electron waves at atoms arranged in focussing geometries on selected surfaces. Calculations reveal that features smaller than a hydrogen atom can be obtained. These structures are potentially useful for device applications and offer a route to the fabrication of ultrafine and well defined tips for scanning tunneling microscopy.

description: Analysis of actual observations of response processes is a routine procedure in applied econometrics but methods of dealing with purely subjective probability distributions as response 'data' have seemingly not hitherto been worked out. The models and methods developed here go some way to filling this void. They are illustrated by using information from a cross-sectional study of sixty Nepalese small-scale farmers. Means and variances of subjective probability distributions for rice paddy yields under different technologies are related to controlled inputs, such as fertiliser levels, and to relevant socio-economic aspects of farmers themselves, such as technological knowledge and farm size.

description: We present FUSE and HST/STIS measurements of the PII column density toward Galactic stars. We analyzed PII through the profile fitting of the unsaturated $λ$1125 and $λ$1533 lines and derived column densities integrated along the sightlines as well as in individual resolved components. We find that phosphorus is not depleted along those sightlines sampling the diffuse neutral gas. We also investigate the correlation existing between PII and OI column densities and find that there is no differential depletion between these two specie. Furthermore, the ratio N(PII)/N(OI) is consistent with the solar P/O value, implying that PII and OI coexist in the same gaseous phase and are likely to evolve in parallel since the time they are produced in stars. We argue that phosphorus, as traced by PII, is an excellent neutral oxygen tracer in various physical environments, except when ionization corrections are a significant issue. Hence, PII lines (observable with FUSE, HST/STIS, or with VLT/UVES for the QSO sightlines) reveal particularly useful as a proxy for OI lines when these are saturated or blended.

description: The effect of gamma irradiation dose in the range of 1–10 kGy is investigated on the structural, optical and electrical properties of the polyaniline -emeraldine salt (PANI-ES) thin films deposited on the indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate by spin coating technique. X-ray diffraction patterns show that all deposited PANI films have an amorphous character. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirms the emeraldine salt form of deposited PANI films. The analysis of UV–Vis spectrophotometer indicates a decrease of transmittance intensity and optical band gap with increase of gamma irradiation dose while Urbach energy increases. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra show a strong peak at 429 nm due to transition from polaron band to π band in PANI structure which its intensity and peak area increase with irradiation dose increase. Electrical measurement shows that the resistivity of prepared films linearly increases with rise of gamma dose suggesting its possible application as gamma dosimeter in the studied range.

description: Between December 2018 and August 2020, a total of 73 hoiho were fitted with tracking devices (GPS dive loggers, GPS-GSM dive transmitters, satellite transmitters) to examine the penguins’ at-sea movements and diving behaviour across their core mainland range. Deployments occurred at 12 different sites ranging from North Otago and the Otago Peninsula to the Catlins and Paterson Inlet, Rakiura/Stewart Island. Data recorded covered the chick-guard and post guard stages of breeding (October-January), the critical pre-moult phase (February-March) and the winter period (April-August). Data comprised a total of 33,290 at-sea locations representing 370 individual foraging trips, or 6,417 at-sea hours. A total of 118,698 dive events were determined from the depth data highlighting the species’ principally benthic foraging strategy across its mainland range. The data indicate that the existing 4-nautical mile set net restriction zone is only marginally beneficial for hoiho, if at all.

description: Agricultural economists need to evaluate their own research priorities. The main difficulty in doing so is to value the types of information generated by economic research. Bayesian decision theory provides a framework for valuing information, and the results of selected studies using this methodology are collated. Most of the other determinants of research priorities can be encapsulated in a target return ratio measure. How such a framework might be used is illustrated by three 'hypotheticals'.
Vortex-like current states in Josephson ballistic point contacts

description: The stationary Josephson effect is studied theoretically in the situation when there is externally injected transport supercurrent which flows in the banks parallel to the contact interface. Coexistence of this supercurrent with the order parameter phase difference between the banks of the contact results in the appearance of quasiparticles in the weak link, which create the current, localized in the vicinity of the contact and counter-flowing to the transport supercurrent. We review the results of our previous study of weak links between current-carrying conventional and unconventional (d-wave) superconductors. And further we study the weak link in the form of double point contact between current-carrying superconductors. The current distribution patterns, containing the vortex-like states, are obtained.

description: In the present study, Ag nanoparticles were synthesized in amorphous hydrogenated carbon films on glass substrates by RF-PECVD and RF-sputtering co-deposition method at the room temperature. Methyl orange was utilized as an analyte with different concentrations on Ag nanoparticles that were embedded in diamond-like carbon (DLC). Ultraviolet–visible (Uv–vis) spectroscopy, XRD analysis, Raman spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) were performed to characterize films. Ag-DLC with an average size of less than 14 nm was the active site for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Sensitivity of measurements in SERS spectra was increased by these types of thin films. This method of nano-particle synthesis is cost-effective and just requires a one-step synthesis. Such substrates can be used for several times. Moreover, they are useful for biosensors because of their hardness and other properties that may be subsequently referred.

description: To fill important knowledge gaps about hoiho distribution at sea, a 20-month long, comprehensive tracking project of hoiho across their mainland range was initiated. Focus of tracking activities was on the regions north of the Otago Peninsula (Aramoana to Oamaru), the Eastern Catlins (Nugget Point, Penguin Bay and Hinahina Cove), Western Catlins (Te Rere), and Rakiura/Stewart Island. Using GPS dive loggers, the penguins’ foraging movements and diving behaviour were to be determined in each the principal breeding and life-history stages, i.e. chick guard, early post-guard, late post-guard, pre-moult, winter dispersal, and concluding with incubation. Each site was to be sampled approximately five times, although the feasibility of this was dependent on penguin abundance and logistics.
Dynamics of a self-gravitating shell of matter

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Dynamics of a self-gravitating shell of matter is derived from the Hilbert variational principle and then described as an (infinite dimensional, constrained) Hamiltonian system. A method used here enables us to define singular Riemann tensor of a non-continuous connection {\em via} standard formulae of differential geometry, with derivatives understood in the sense of distributions. Bianchi identities for the singular curvature are proved. They match the conservation laws for the singular energy-momentum tensor of matter. Rosenfed-Belinfante and Noether theorems are proved to be still valid in case of these singular objects. Assumption about continuity of the four-dimensional spacetime metric is widely discussed.

title: Application of Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy of DNA Binding Dyes to Assess Radiation-Induced Chromatin Compaction Changes

description: In recent years several approaches have been developed to address the chromatin status and its changes in eukaryotic cells under different conditions—but only few are applicable in living cells. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a functional tool that can be used for the inspection of the molecular environment of fluorophores in living cells. Here, we present the use of single organic minor groove DNA binder dyes in FLIM for measuring chromatin changes following modulation of chromatin structure in living cells. Treatment with histone deacetylase inhibitors led to an increased fluorescence lifetime indicating global chromatin decompaction, whereas hyperosmolarity decreased the lifetime of the used dyes, thus reflecting the expected compaction. In addition, we demonstrate that time domain FLIM data based on single photon counting should be optimized using pile-up and counting loss correction, which affect the readout even at moderate average detector count rates in inhomogeneous samples. Using these corrections and utilizing Hoechst 34580 as chromatin compaction probe, we measured a pan nuclear increase in the lifetime following irradiation with X-rays in living NIH/3T3 cells thus providing a method to measure radiation-induced chromatin decompaction.
A STUDY OF THE DEMAND FOR BUTTER IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

description: Statistical estimation of the demand function for most industrial, and many agricultural, products is inhibited by price fixing or price stabilizing arrangements which prevent observation of the full range of possible price-quantity combinations. In the period 1956 to 1961 the London butter market has illustrated how markedly price can fluctuate, when not subject to a stablizing agreement. In the period 1958 to 1961 estimates of retail sales of butter are available, and these permit the estimation of the demand for butter at retail. The time lag between production and consumption decisions means that there is no problem of identification. The present study uses weekly price and quantity information, and there is a serious problem of auto-correlation of the observations. The interesting story of the development of the London butter market in Tooley Street has been ignored. Rather, this study provides a brief description of the current working of the butter market, together with new estimates for the demand function for butter in the United Kingdom. Previous estimates of the United Kingdom price elasticity of demand for butter have been published by Brown as -.6, in 1954-58, by Stone as -.37 in 1921-38 and anonymously in Economic Trends as - .34. In this study the elasticity is estimated as -.46 when retail price exceeds 2/6 lb., and as -1.4 at 2/6 to 2/2 lb.
