description: A plausible model is proposed for the enhancement of the abundance of molecular species in bipolar outflow sources. In this model, levels of HCO+ enhancement are considered based on previous chemical calculations, that are assumed to result from shock-induced desorption and photoprocessing of dust grain ice mantles in the boundary layer between the outflow jet and the surrounding envelope. A radiative transfer simulation that incorporates chemical variations within the flow shows that the proposed abundance enhancements in the boundary layer are capable of reproducing the observed characteristics of the outflow seen in HCO+ emission in the star forming core L1527. The radiative transfer simulation also shows that the emission lines from the enhanced molecular species that trace the boundary layer of the outflow exhibit complex line profiles indicating that detailed spatial maps of the line profiles are essential in any attempt to identify the kinematics of potential infall/outflow sources. This study is one of the first applications of a full three dimensional radiative transfer code which incorporates chemical variations within the source.

Τα δεδομένα 20 ημιδομημένων συνεντεύξεων με εφήβους και έφηβες που φοιτούν σε ΕΠΑΛ της χώρας έδειξαν ότι τα έμφυλα στερεότυπα εμπεριέχονται στο λόγο τους και επηρεάζουν τα βήματα και την μελλοντική πορεία τους στο σχολείο αλλά και στον εργασιακό χώρο. Οι απόψεις της οικογένειας, της ομάδας συνομηλίκων και της κοινωνίας διαμορφώνουν τον τρόπο σκέψης των νέων και ορίζουν το πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο είναι επιθυμητό να κινηθούν, κατά τη διάρκεια, αλλά και μετά την ολοκλήρωση της επαγγελματικής τους εκπαίδευσης. Μέσω της θεματικής ανάλυσης των συνεντεύξεων διαπιστώθηκε η επίδραση των στερεοτύπων για το φύλο με τρόπο που περιορίζει την ελεύθερη επιλογή και την εξέλιξη των ατόμων, προσανατολίζοντάς τους σε εκπαιδευτικούς και επαγγελματικούς τομείς οι οποίοι στερεοτυπικά «ταιριάζουν» στο φύλο τους
description: The educational and future professional choices of students of Vocational High Schools are largely determined by the stereotypical gender perceptions that prevail in society. The data of 20 semi-structured interviews with teenagers who attend Vocational Schools of the country indicated that gender stereotypes are included in their speech and affect their progression and future course in school and in the workplace. The perspectives of family, group of peers and society shape the way of thinking of young people and define the framework within which it is desirable to move, during and after the completion of their professional education. Through the thematic analysis of interviews, it was found that the impact of gender stereotypes limits the free choices and development of individuals, orienting them towards educational and professional fields that are stereotypically “suitable” to their gender

description: Background: Recently, a systematic exploration of two-neutron transfer induced by the ($^{18}$O, $^{16}$O) reaction on different targets has been performed. The high resolution data have been collected at the MAGNEX magnetic spectrometer of the INFN-LNS laboratory in Catania and analyzed with the coupled reaction channel (CRC) approach. The simultaneous and sequential transfers of the two neutrons have been considered under the same theoretical framework without the need of adjustable factors in the calculations. Purpose: A detailed analysis of the one-neutron transfer cross sections is important to study the sequential two-neutron transfer. Here, we examine the ($^{18}$O, $^{17}$O) reaction on $^{16}$O, $^{28}$Si and $^{64}$Ni targets. These even-even nuclei allow for investigation of one-neutron transfer in distinct nuclear shell spaces. Method: The MAGNEX spectrometer was used to measure mass spectra of ejectiles and extract differential cross sections of one-neutron transfer to low-lying states. We adopted the same CRC formalism used in the sequential two-neutron transfer, including relevant channels and using spectroscopic amplitudes obtained from shell model calculations. We also compare with one-step distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA). Results: For the $^{18}$O + $^{16}$O and the $^{18}$O + $^{28}$O systems we used two interactions in the shell model. The experimental angular distributions are reasonably well reproduced by the CRC calculations. In the $^{18}$O + $^{64}$Ni system, we considered only one interaction and the theoretical curve describes the shape and order of magnitude observed in the experimental data. Conclusions: Comparisons between experimental, DWBA and CRC angle-integrated cross sections suggest that excitations before or after the transfer of neutron is relevant in the $^{18}$O + $^{16}$O and $^{18}$O + $^{64}$Ni systems.

Year: 1986
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: The purpose of this paper is to show how a mathematical programming model can be formulated to examine problems associated with a few important price policy alternatives i.e., allocation of limited funds for output price support and input price subsidy. A comprehensive survey of the problems includes Krishna (1967). The methodology delineated here is quite different from Barker and Hayami (1976) for the similar prob­lems; they applied a neoclassical demand-supply model. This paper is organized as follows: ( 1) illustrates how quadratic terms are to be shown up in the model when output price support and/or input price subsidy considered, (2) explains multi period extension of the model areas of further applications and problems.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly those based on deep learning models, have increasingly achieved expert-level performance in medical applications. However, there is growing concern that such AI systems may reflect and amplify human bias, and reduce the quality of their performance in historically under-served populations. The fairness issue has attracted considerable research interest in the medical imaging classification field, yet it remains understudied in the text generation domain. In this study, we investigate the fairness problem in text generation within the medical field and observe significant performance discrepancies across different races, sexes, and age groups, including intersectional groups, various model scales, and different evaluation metrics. To mitigate this fairness issue, we propose an algorithm that selectively optimizes those underperformed groups to reduce bias. The selection rules take into account not only word-level accuracy but also the pathology accuracy to the target reference, while ensuring that the entire process remains fully differentiable for effective model training. Our evaluations across multiple backbones, datasets, and modalities demonstrate that our proposed algorithm enhances fairness in text generation without compromising overall performance. Specifically, the disparities among various groups across different metrics were diminished by more than 30% with our algorithm, while the relative change in text generation accuracy was typically within 2%. By reducing the bias generated by deep learning models, our proposed approach can potentially alleviate concerns about the fairness and reliability of text generation diagnosis in medical domain.

description: Ionic liquid-modified silica-coated magnetite (Fe3O4@SiO2-IL) nanoparticles were synthesized using co-precipitation, silylation, and substitution routes, and finally immobilized on talc sheets by electrostatic interactions. The prepared Fe3O4@SiO2-IL/Talc nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR, XRD, VSM, SEM, and TEM techniques. The nanocomposite was used for adsorption of cationic methylene blue (MB) dye from the aqueous media. The effect of operating parameters, namely initial MB concentration, solution pH, and contact time on the removal rate, was investigated. Electrostatic interactions between MB ions and active sites of the nanocomposite allowed fast adsorption and nanocomposite showed higher adsorption capacity towards MB ions than talc, and Fe3O4@SiO2-IL alone. It was also found that Fe3O4@SiO2-IL/Talc nanocomposite could be used in multiple cycles using environmentally benign ethanol as a solvent. As a result, this study presents a synthesis of novel nanocomposite adsorbent for the removal of harmful organic compounds from the aqueous media, followed by easy separation and possible reuse.

description: We utilize ALMA archival data to estimate the dust disk size of 152 protoplanetary disks in Lupus (1-3 Myr), Chamaeleon I (2-3 Myr), and Upper-Sco (5-11 Myr). We combine our sample with 47 disks from Tau/Aur and Oph whose dust disk radii were estimated, as here, through fitting radial profile models to visibility data. We use these 199 homogeneously derived disk sizes to identify empirical disk-disk and disk-host property relations as well as to search for evolutionary trends. In agreement with previous studies, we find that dust disk sizes and millimeter luminosities are correlated, but show for the first time that the relationship is not universal between regions. We find that disks in the 2-3 Myr-old Cha I are not smaller than disks in other regions of similar age, and confirm the Barenfeld et al. (2017) finding that the 5-10 Myr USco disks are smaller than disks belonging to younger regions. Finally, we find that the outer edge of the Solar System, as defined by the Kuiper Belt, is consistent with a population of dust disk sizes which have not experienced significant truncation.

description: We calculate the density of states of an inhomogeneous superconductor in a magnetic field where the positions of vortices are distributed completely at random. We consider both the cases of s-wave and d-wave pairing. For both pairing symmetries either the presence of disorder or increasing the density of vortices enhances the low energy density of states. In the s-wave case the gap is filled and the density of states is a power law at low energies. In the d-wave case the density of states is finite at zero energy and it rises linearly at very low energies in the Dirac isotropic case (α_D=t/Δ_0=1, where t is the hopping integral and Δ_0 is the amplitude of the order parameter). For slightly higher energies the density of states crosses over to a quadratic behavior. As the Dirac anisotropy increases (as Δ_0 decreases with respect to the hopping term) the linear region decreases in width. Neglecting this small region the density of states interpolates between quadratic and back to linear as α_D increases. The low energy states are strongly peaked near the vortex cores.

description: We investigate the interior structure, perturbations, and the associated quasinormal modes of a quantum black hole model recently proposed by Bodendorfer, Mele, and Münch (BMM). Within the framework of loop quantum gravity, the quantum parameters in the BMM model are introduced through polymerization, consequently replacing the Schwarzschild singularity with a spacelike transition surface. By treating the quantum geometry corrections as an `effective' matter contribution, we first prove the violation of energy conditions (in particular the null energy condition) near the transition surface and then investigate the required junction conditions on it. In addition, we study the quasinormal modes of massless scalar field perturbations, electromagnetic perturbations, and axial gravitational perturbations in this effective model. As expected, the quasinormal spectra deviate from their classical counterparts in the presence of quantum corrections. Interestingly, we find that the quasinormal frequencies of perturbations with different spins share the same qualitative tendency with respect to the change of the quantum parameters in this model.

description: Off-farm labour supply is very important in the transformation of agricultural economies to industrial economies. Two econometric models were used to estimate the wage elasticity of off-farm labour supply in Kemubu, Kelantan, Malaysia. A wage elasticity of approximately 2.0 was obtained from both models. The study revealed that severe poverty exist in single-cropped areas outside Kemubu. Farm households are more pressed for time with off-farm employment in double-cropped areas inside Kemubu. The twin-strategies of intensifying paddy cultivation and creating off-farm employment opportunities can be carried out concurrently. To induce farmers to seek off-farm employ­ment to augment farm incomes, off-farm employment opportunities should be created close to farm households and development policies should aim at im­proving the level of educational and vocational skills of farmers.
title: Characterisation of the immunological events induced by biodegradable polymer vaccines

Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: This study was performed to unravel the adjuvant mechanisms of biodegradable microsphere vaccines based on poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) polymer. Those microspheres have been extensively investigated as efficient vaccine adjuvant and delivery systems. However, their mode of action and their in vivo processing remain unclear. A better understanding of the adjuvant mechanisms would prove essential for the design of new generation vaccines required to be safer, given in less doses and stable at room temperature. This study focused on the sub-cutaneous administration of encapsulated protein models diphtheria and tetanus toxoids (DT and TT). The experimental work covered three aspects: (i) the uptake and transport of subcutaneously injected PLGA MS DT by macrophages and dendritic cells in vivoin mice; (ii) the influence of physico-chemical properties of the PLGA MS formulations on the toxoids immunogenicity in mice and guinea pigs; (iii) the immunogenicity of a multivalent encapsulated PLGS MS loaded with individual or multiple childhood vaccine antigens. This is probably the first study on the particle uptake and biodistribution of sub-cutaneously injected PLGA MS by antigen presenting cells in mice. Tracking of the fluorescent particles by microscopy confirmed previously postulated adjuvant mechanisms such as the depot effect at the injection site mimicking multiple injections; the efficient uptake of the particles by antigen presenting cells (APCs) and the active transport and relocalisation of the particles within lymphoid organs via APCs. These mechanisms were influenced mainly by the hydrophobic nature of the polymer and the size of the microspheres. When the formulation was optimized, a single dose of microencapsulated vaccine on its own (without addition of a potent adjuvant) protected better than two doses of the commercial alum-adsorbed vaccine. This study also demonstrates the feasibility of a multivalent paediatric encapsulated vaccine based on diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and Hib antigens. The implementation of such a vaccine in the immunisation schedule would be a major achievement in the reduction of the number of injections given to the infants.

description: We investigate two important questions about the use of the nonextensive thermostatistics (NETS) formalism in the context of nonlinear galaxy clustering in the Universe. Firstly, we define a quantitative criterion for justifying nonextensivity at different physical scales. Then, we discuss the physics behind the ansatz of the entropic parameter $q(r)$. Our results suggest the approximate range where nonextensivity can be justified and, hence, give some support to the applicability of NETS to the study of large scale structures.

description: We report results showing that thermally-induced openings of double stranded DNA coincide with the location of functionally relevant sites for transcription. Investigating both viral and bacterial DNA gene promoter segments, we found that the most probable opening occurs at the transcription start site. Minor openings appear to be related to other regulatory sites. Our results suggest that coherent thermal fluctuations play an important role in the initiation of transcription. Essential elements of the dynamics, in addition to sequence specificity, are nonlinearity and entropy, provided by local base-pair constraints.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine which factors are the most important to the rural life conditions of female migrants of international marriage and to suggest some support ways for their adaptation in Korea. In order to complete these works this study used the data on international marriage migrant women residing in rural communities of Jeonbuk province. The data were collected by Jeonbuk Development Institute. From the data analysis, this study found that the rural lives of international marriage migrant women are considerably different by their nationality, family economic conditions, husband's personal information, understanding of Korean language and culture, family support for their participation in outside meetings and education, the conditions of their current work, and husband's share of houseworks. Given those findings, this study suggests some assistance policies for the international marriage migrant women.

description: The present thesis seeks to identify the gaps in Greek adult education policy and to improve the training and certification framework for adult educators in order to develop the professionalism of this field. The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between the education and training of adult educators and professionalism, as well as to investigate the adequacy of the EOPPEP certification system for adult educators. The master's thesis consists of two parts, a) the theoretical framework and b) the research. In the first part, the basic policies that have been developed within the field of Adult Education in Europe and Greece and therefore the relevant undergraduate and postgraduate studies offered in our country are presented. Then, the current certification system of EOPPEP is analyzed and reference is made to the concept of professionalism and its characteristics. Finally, the various roles that adult educators can adopt, as well as the characteristics they may have, are presented. The second part of the research begins with the description of the methodology and ends by analyzing the findings based on the axes, categories and subcategories created

description: Using aerogel as radiator and multianode PMTs for photon detection, a proximity focusing Cherenkov ring imaging detector has been constructed and tested in the KEK $π$2 beam. The aim is to experimentally study the basic parameters such as resolution of the single photon Cherenkov angle and number of detected photons per ring. The resolution obtained is well approximated by estimates of contributions from pixel size and emission point uncertainty. The number of detected photons per Cherenkov ring is in good agreement with estimates based on aerogel and detector characteristics. The values obtained turn out to be rather low, mainly due to Rayleigh scattering and to the relatively large dead space between the photocathodes. A light collection system or a higher fraction of the photomultiplier active area, together with better quality aerogels are expected to improve the situation. The reduction of Cherenkov yield, for charged particle impact in the vicinity of the aerogel tile side wall, has also been measured.

description: New physics close to the electroweak scale is well motivated by a number of theoretical arguments. However, colliders, most notably the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), have failed to deliver evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. One possibility for how new electroweak-scale particles could have evaded detection so far is if they carry only electroweak charge, i.e. are color neutral. Future $e^+e^-$ colliders are prime tools to study such new physics. Here, we investigate the sensitivity of $e^+e^-$ colliders to scalar partners of the charged leptons, known as sleptons in supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. In order to allow such scalar lepton partners to decay, we consider models with an additional neutral fermion, which in supersymmetric models corresponds to a neutralino. We demonstrate that future $e^+e^-$ colliders would be able to probe most of the kinematically accessible parameter space, i.e. where the mass of the scalar lepton partner is less than half of the collider's center-of-mass energy, with only a few days of data. Besides constraining more general models, this would allow to probe some well motivated dark matter scenarios in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, in particular the incredible bulk and stau co-annihilation scenarios.

description: Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας είναι να εξετάσει την επίδραση του ανθρωπομορφισμού στην συμπεριφορά των καταναλωτών. Ο ανθρωπομορφισμός είναι η απόδοση των ανθρώπινων χαρακτηριστικών σε ένα μη ανθρώπινο αντικείμενο. Ο ανθρωπομορφισμός, βλέποντας τον άνθρωπο σε μη ανθρώπινες μορφές και γεγονότα, διαπερνά την ανθρώπινη κρίση (Guthrie, 1993). Οι άνθρωποι βλέπουν συνήθως τα ανθρώπινα χαρακτηριστικά σε φυσικούς σχηματισμούς. Οι επαγγελματίες του μάρκετινγκ χρησιμοποιούν συχνά το ανθρωπόμορφο ως στρατηγική εντοπισμού θέσης για τις μάρκες τους. Σε γενικές γραμμές, αυτή η τεχνική επικοινωνίας μάρκετινγκ δημιουργεί ευνοϊκές αντιδράσεις στους καταναλωτές, όπως αυξημένη πιθανότητα προϊόντος, αυξημένα θετικά συναισθήματα και πιο ευνοϊκές αποδόσεις της προσωπικότητας της μάρκας (Delbaere et al., 2011) Τέτοιες ανθρωπομορφικές αντιδράσεις πυροδοτούν τις αντιλήψεις των καταναλωτών για τις μάρκες ως ζωντανές οντότητες με τα δικά τους ανθρώπινα κίνητρα, χαρακτηριστικά, συνειδητή θέληση, συναισθήματα και προθέσεις καταναλωτών.
description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of anthropomorphism on consumer behavior. Anthropomorphism is the rendering of human features in a non-human object. Anthropomorphism, seeing man in non-human forms and events, penetrates the human crisis (Guthrie, 1993). People usually see human features in natural formations. Marketing professionals often use anthropomorphism as a marketing strategy for their brands. In general, this marketing communication technique generates favorable reactions in consumers, such as increased product likelihood, increased positive emotions and more favorable returns of the brand personality (Delbaere et al., 2011). Such anthropomorphic reactions trigger consumers' perceptions of as living entities with their own human motives, characteristics, conscious will, emotions and intentions.

description: Based on the weak form Assumption of E. Fama, this study econometrically examines the price efficiency of main vegetables transacted at nine wholesale markets of Tokyo Central Wholesale Market using time series analysis. The duration of the study (1989-2004) is divided into two periods, in which the price formation of wholesale market is different, and comparison analysis on price efficiency is conducted. Two-Step Estimation Procedure for Dynamic Modeling suggested by Engel and Granger (1987) is applied as the analytical method in the study. According to results of the analysis, at Tokyo Central Wholesale Market, where negotiated transaction was considerably developed, the price behavior was confirmed that price might recover from external shock and price stability was stronger than before from a perspective of long-term equilibrium, although there was price change in a short term due to changes in quantity of arrival. The analysis results also indicate that spatial price integration (equilibrium) among central wholesale markets in Tokyo was strong. It could be concluded that the price formed at wholesale markets was efficient, since it functioned to reach equilibrium at time as well as at space.

description: This paper is designed to evaluate the export potential of the California rice industry. In terms of production, the potential production of the California rice is very restricted because of lack of land and water as well as environment-related regulations. The yields also reached the plateau after 1990s. In terms of consumption and export, the domestic consumption of medium grains has increased gradually and California has more attractive export markets than the Korean market, such as Japan or Taiwan. Considering all situations, the export potential of the California rice to Korea is not large.

description: Issues about fossil fuel exhaustion and climate change increase the concerns over the renewable energy sources, especially biomass utilization. Biomass utilization is regard to contribute to mitigation of global warming, increase of energy self-sufficiency, establishment of circulated society, revitalization of rural economy, and sustainable forest and land management. U.K. government endeavors to develop the renewable energy sources to cope with climate change issues and unstable energy supply. Multiple departments take part in making policy on biomass utilization, and a variety of policies, such as direct grants program and tax exemption, are enforced to enable the biomass to get the economic feasibility. This review about the U.K. biomass utilization policies is used to set up the biomass policy in Korea.

description: Consumers' cooperatives (hereafter CC) in Korea were started from the organic farm products direct-deal movement among farmers and consumers in the late 1980s. This was possible by the already present organic farm movement in the 1970s. This differs from the organic farm movements of Europe and Japan which were developed from the comsumer movement seeking safe food. This study focuses on the standpoint of CC in its development process from 1980s to now and analyzes the characteristics of Korea Consumers Cooperative Solidarity(ICOOP) as an example. The standpoint and characteristics of CC in Korea are studied by analyzing the relations between the distributive mechanism and organizing ability in the development process and the contents of essential working in ICOOP.

description: Although exploring alternatives is fundamental to creating better interface designs, current processes for creating alternatives are generally manual, limiting the alternatives a designer can explore. We present Scout, a system that helps designers rapidly explore alternatives through mixed-initiative interaction with high-level constraints and design feedback. Prior constraint-based layout systems use low-level spatial constraints and generally produce a single design. Tosupport designer exploration of alternatives, Scout introduces high-level constraints based on design concepts (e.g.,~semantic structure, emphasis, order) and formalizes them into low-level spatial constraints that a solver uses to generate potential layouts. In an evaluation with 18 interface designers, we found that Scout: (1) helps designers create more spatially diverse layouts with similar quality to those created with a baseline tool and (2) can help designers avoid a linear design process and quickly ideate layouts they do not believe they would have thought of on their own.

description: In 2017, the 75th anniversary of the beginning of Japanese Canadian internment was celebrated. Methods of remembering this event have been quietly marked over time through art installations, museums, and interpretative signs. Sites that were involved in this history are sprinkled all throughout Canada, many of them are concentrated in the interior of BC, as well as in Vancouver, where Japanese immigration began in the late 1880’s. Now, many sites sit dormant and neutral to their histories, at risk of erasure as the involved generation passes away. Japanese Canadian internment affected many places, shaping sites now commonly passed by today with little mention like Hastings Park, Roger’s Sugar Factory, Crowsnest Highway, Southern Alberta’s farming community, and the Sunshine Valley. These sites are loaded with significance that begs to be called on and re-evaluated in the new context of today. This thesis will build on this body of work to continue the process of remembrance through rituals supported by sites in the Sunshine Valley, former Tashme internment site. This project deploys a minor methodology to subvert the static, constructed tendency of major memorials to disregard personal experiences and their anecdotes. A minor methodology employs these anecdotes to generate spaces that recall these experiences, demonstrating the latent authority, depth and nuance to these stories.
