title: On the Axiomatic Ranking of Opportunity Sets in a Logical framework
Creators: name: Gekker, Ruvin
Publisher: name: National University of Ireland, Galway
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Economics
subject: Opportunity ranking
subject: Logical framework

description: The paper presents an axiomatic analysis of opportunity ranking within a logical framework. It establishes that any opportunity or freedom ranking is completely determined by a subjacent logical chain that is interpreted as a freedom standard. However, a preferential interpretation of the chain is also possible and it leads to the results similar to those already obtained by Nehring and Puppe (1999).

description: An N=1/2 supergravity in four Euclidean spacetime dimensions, coupled to both vector- and scalar-multiplet matter, is constructed for the first time. We begin with the standard (1,1) conformally extended supergravity in four Euclidean dimensions, and freeze out the graviphoton field strength to an arbitrary (fixed) self-dual field (the so-called C-deformation). Though a consistency of such procedure with local supersymmetry is not guaranteed, we find a simple consistent set of algebraic constraints that reduce the local supersymmetry by 3/4 and eliminate the corresponding gravitini. The final field theory (after the superconformal gauge-fixing) has the residual local N=(0,1/2) or just N=1/2 supersymmetry with only one chiral gravitino as the corresponding gauge field. Our theory is not `Lorentz'-invariant because of the non-vanishing self-dual graviphoton vacuum expectation value, which is common to the C-deformed N=1/2 rigidly supersymmetric field theories constructed in a non-anticommutative superspace.

description: We introduce a new polarimeter installed on the high-resolution fiber-fed echelle spectrograph (called BOES) of the 1.8-m telescope at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory, Korea. The instrument is intended to measure stellar magnetic fields with high-resolution (R $\sim$ 60000) spectropolarimetric observations of intrinsic polarization in spectral lines. In this paper we describe the spectropolarimeter and present test observations of the longitudinal magnetic fields in some well-studied F-B main sequence magnetic stars (m_v < 8.8^m). The results demonstrate that the instrument has a high precision ability of detecting the fields of these stars with typical accuracies ranged from about 2G to a few tens of gauss.

description: This paper studies the redistribution effect of personal income tax in Pakistan. We decompose the overall tax system in order to evaluate the contribution of rate, allowances, deductions, exemptions and credits. The structure given in Income Tax Ordinance 2001 is applied to gross household incomes in 2002 (low growth year) and 2005 (high growth year). Our findings reveal that the reforms laid down in this Ordinance resulted in a greater redistribution of incomes. The redistributive effect increases as we move from 2002 to 2005 tax assessment. Deductions for salaried tax payers contribute the most towards progressivity. This is different from countries with advanced taxation systems relying mainly on allowances followed by tax rate and exemptions.

description: The magnetoresistance Rxx was investigated in arrays of abutted square cavities with lengths L ranging from 500 nm to 1.2 ìm near filling factor í = 1/2. Maxima in Rxx occur for effective magnetic field values satisfying the magnetic focusing condition between the cavity spacing and the cyclotron radius of composite fermions, also for the effective magnetic field direction when composite fermions are deflected in the direction opposite to that of electrons. The experimental data are compared with simulation results based on a quasiclassical dynamics of composite fermions in soft potentials.

description: Many students think science is something that happens in textbooks, which is sad because textbooks aren’t much fun. The result is bored unmotivated students who don’t learn as well – learning works best when it is fun and hands-on. The aim of these activities is to provide an enjoyable, interactive way for students to discover science. Rather than just remembering things out of a book, the activities allow students to experience science themselves. Students learn and remember best when they actually do things themselves, rather than just reading or being told about them. The activities here can be used directly with students as class activities, or used as demonstrations by teachers. Please note though, that some of these activities are more dangerous than others. Take extra care where CAUTION is noted. Some activities are not suitable for students to try themselves. This book contains a huge range of fun, curriculum-related science activities that can be done with everyday items – things that are either low-cost or free. Wherever we could, we selected activities that reuse the same materials so with the same collection of everyday items, there might be 5, 10 or even more different activities you can try. As you will discover, you do not need a lab and fancy equipment to do engaging practical science.

Long-range order in the A-like phase of superfluid 3He in aerogel

description: A mutual action of the random anisotropy brought in the superfluid 3He by aerogel and of the global anisotropy caused by its deformation is considered. Strong global anisotropy tends to suppress fluctuations of orientation of the order parameter and stabilizes ABM order parameter. In a limit of vanishing anisotropy these fluctuations are getting critical. It is argued that still in a region of small fluctuations the average order parameter can acquire "robust" component. This component maintains a long-range order even in a limit of vanishing global anisotropy.

Οι ώριμοι καρποί του φυτού χρησιμοποιούνται για την παραγωγή ηδύποτων (λικέρ) αναψυκτικών, μαρμελάδας και γλυκών και συνεπώς κρίθηκε αναγκαία η μελέτη τους σε φυτοχημικό επίπεδο, προκειμένου να διευκρινιστούν τα περιεχόμενα συστατικά τους. Αναφορές για περιεχόμενα συστατικά των καρπών υπάρχουν και στο παρελθόν, όμως όχι από δέντρα με τις προαναφερθείσες πιστοποιήσεις. Έχει αναφερθεί ότι οι ώριμοι καρποί του φυτού παρουσιάζουν ιδιότητες όπως: στυπτικές, αντιδιαρροϊκές, χωνευτικές, τονωτικές, κατά του σακχαρώση διαβήτη, κατά των καρδιακών παθήσεων, ως άριστα αντιοξειδωτικά, αντιφλεγμονώδη και ανοσοενισχυτικά. Πέραν της φυτοχημικής ανάλυσης, τα εκχυλίσματα των καρπών δοκιμάστηκαν με δυο διαφορετικές μεταξύ των μεθόδους μέτρησης αντιοξειδωτικής ικανότητας καθώς επίσης και για την ικανότητα αναστολής της αναγωγάσης της αλδόζης και της αναγωγάσης της αλδεΰδης, δυο ενζύμων που εμπλέκονται σε δευτερογενείς επιπλοκές κατά την πάθηση του σακχαρώδη διαβήτη τύπου (ΙΙ). Επίσης δοκιμάστηκε και η ικανότητα τους για την αναστολή του ενζύμου της λιποξυγονάσης, ενός ενζύμου που θεωρείται ότι εμπλέκεται στον πολλαπλασιασμό καρκινικών κυττάρων.
description: The aim of the present doctoral thesis is the phytochemical analysis of the ripe and intermediate maturity type of the fruit of greek flora Cornus mas (Cornaceae), which come from trees of ISO-certified cultivar and are of stable variety (var Ntoulia I). Due to the fact that the ripe fruit of the plant is used for preparation of liquors, beverages, marmalades and sweets, it’s phytochemical analysis was necessary in order to declare it’s chemical content. In the past there have been reports about a part of the fruit chemical content, but not from trees with the pre-mentioned certifications. Generally there has been reported that the ripe fruit of the plant possesses astringent, digestive and tonic properties. It’s also used against diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular deceases, as antiinflamatory agent, as adjuvant and also as perfect antioxidants. Besides the phytochemical analysis, the extracts of both maturity stages of the fruit where evaluated for their antioxidant capacity with two different methods, as well as for their capability to inhibit aldose reductase and aldehyde reductase, which are two enzymes considered to involve in secondary complications caused by diabetes mellitus. Finally, all of the extracts where tested for their inhibition capacity of the enzyme of lipoxygennase, which is believed to participate in cancer cell proliferation.

description: Children sometimes fail to transfer lessons gleaned from educational television. However, exposure to this content might impart foundational knowledge that facilitates children’s learning from subsequent formal instruction. This possibility is consistent with the predictions of a theoretical framework known as “preparation for future learning” (PFL). In the current experiment, 4- to 6-year-old children (N = 109) watched one of three educational science programs about buoyancy or a control program about magnification. Afterward, all children observed a live demonstration about buoyancy and participated in two assessments of learning (i.e. once after television exposure and again after the live demonstration). Children who watched the buoyancy programs performed better across more assessments than children who watched the control program. Unexpectedly, more consistent benefits emerged among children who watched animated (vs. live action) programs. These findings provided mixed support for the PFL framework, and recommendations for future research are provided. Prior State of Knowledge: Children sometimes fail to transfer lessons gleaned from educational television. However, this content might impart foundational knowledge that facilitates children’s learning from subsequent formal instruction. This possibility is consistent with a theoretical framework called “preparation for future learning” (PFL). Novel Contributions: Children learned more from formal instruction about buoyancy after exposure to similar lessons in narrative-based science television programs about buoyancy. However, the pattern of results across outcomes provided mixed support for the PFL framework. Practical Implications: Scholars might consider applying certain aspects of the PFL framework to their research designs and theorizing. Parents and teachers might consider supplementing formal instruction with educational television.
A surface and colloid chemical study of the interaction of proteins with polystyrene latex (PSL)
Creators: name: Olal, Andrew Dandy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis various physicochemical factors which determine the characteristics of latex agglutination immunoassays are examined. A model of antibodies reacting with antigen (bovine serum albumin; BSA) adsorbed to the surface of polystyrene latex (PSL) beads was examined. The adsorption studies of BSA to PSL showed that the mass of BSA adsorbed at saturation depends on the type of polystyrene latex. Latexes with highly hydrophobic surfaces adsorbed more BSA molecules than those with lower hydrphobicity. Desorption studies showed that latexes that maximize adsorption lost the lowest fraction of their bound BSA molecules following extensive buffer wash. Partial desorption of BSA from PSL was achieved by the addition of detergent, whereas the addition of more BSA molecules or other macromolecules such as PEG or IgG did not displace the adsorbed BSA molecules. Examination of the material removed from the surface of the latexes by SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the composition of the adsorbed layer was enriched in the higher molecular weight oligomers of BSA, relative to their concentrations in the stock solution. A model in which adsorbed protein is assumed to undergo a polymerization reaction provides a general explanation of the observed results. Studies of polyclonal antibody (anti-BSA IgG) binding to antigen-coated PSL showed that the surface concentration of bound antibody depends on the surface concentration of antigen on the latex particles and on the availability of PSL surface area not occupied by antigen. Analysis of shear induced aggregation results show that for low surface coverage of latex particles by protein antigen in stable suspension, relatively low concentrations of specific antibodies are required to cause agglutination. Increasing surface density of antigen requires significantly higher concentrations of specific antibodies to produce agglutination. For a given surface coverage of antigen, results show that increasing the shear rate decreases the antibody concentration necessary to produce a given degree of agglutination. A remarkable structure formation and long range ordering exhibited by floes of latex coagulating in salt under intermediate shear rates was observed. This structure formation was not observed during antibody-induced agglutination under shear.

description: The property of quantum many-body systems under spatial reflection and the relevant physics of renormalization group (RG) procedure are revealed. By virtue of the matrix product state (MPS) representation, various attributes for translational invariant systems associated with spatial reflection are manifested. We demonstrate subsequently a conservation rule of the conjugative relation for reflectional MPS pairs under RG transformations and illustrate further the property of the fixed points of RG flows. Finally, we show that a similar rule exists with respect to the target states in the density matrix renormalization group algorithm.

description: Although both electron-ion and electron-electron bremsstrahlung contribute to the hard X-ray emission from solar flares, the latter is normally ignored. Such an omission is not justified at electron (and photon) energies above $\sim 300$ keV, and inclusion of the additional electron-electron bremsstrahlung in general makes the electron spectrum required to produce a given hard X-ray spectrum steeper at high energies. Unlike electron-ion bremsstrahlung, electron-electron bremsstrahlung cannot produce photons of all energies up to the maximum electron energy involved. The maximum possible photon energy depends on the angle between the direction of the emitting electron and the emitted photon, and this suggests a diagnostic for an upper cutoff energy and/or for the degree of beaming of the accelerated electrons. We analyze the large event of January 17, 2005 observed by RHESSI and show that the upward break around 400 keV in the observed hard X-ray spectrum is naturally accounted for by the inclusion of electron-electron bremsstrahlung. Indeed, the mean source electron spectrum recovered through a regularized inversion of the hard X-ray spectrum, using a cross-section that includes both electron-ion and electron-electron terms, has a relatively constant spectral index $δ$ over the range from electron kinetic energy $E = 200$ keV to $E = 1$ MeV. However, the level of detail discernible in the recovered electron spectrum is not sufficient to determine whether or not any upper cutoff energy exists.

description: This paper presents evidence on the effectiveness of the Rural Renewal Tax Scheme introduced by the Irish Government in 1998. The rationale for the scheme puts the emphasis on new economic activity and economic growth in the designated area. Thus, it is legitimate to look for positive employment impacts as a primary outcome of the tax scheme. The empirical results suggest that the tax scheme has had positive effects on the numbers of people unemployed in the tax area. However, using rough estimates of the costs of the scheme, these employment gains are not significant enough for the scheme to pass an efficiency test.

description: Intralocus sexual conflict arises when the expression of shared alleles at a single locus generates opposite fitness effects in each sex (i.e. sexually antagonistic alleles), preventing each sex from reaching its sex-specific optimum. Despite its importance to reproductive success, the relative contribution of intralocus sexual conflict to male pre- and post-copulatory success is not well-understood. Here, we used a female-limited X-chromosome (FLX) evolution experiment to limit the inheritance of the X-chromosome to the matriline, eliminating possible counter-selection in males and allowing the X-chromosome to accumulate female-benefit alleles. After greater than 100 generations of FLX evolution, we studied the effect of the evolved X-chromosome on male attractiveness and sperm competitiveness. We found a non-significant increase in attractiveness and decrease in sperm offense ability in males expressing the evolved X-chromosomes, but a significant increase in their ability to avoid displacement by other males' sperm. This is consistent with a trade-off between these traits, perhaps mediated by differences in body size, causing a small net reduction in overall male fitness in the FLX lines. These results indicate that the X-chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster is subject to selection via intralocus sexual conflict in males.
title: Cost of Living Indices and Flexible Consumption Behaviour: A partial critique
Creators: name: Garvey, Eoghan

Publisher: name: National University of Ireland, Galway
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Economics

description: This paper questions the alleged superiority of superlative prices indices (like the Fisher index) over more standard base year indices (like the Laspeyre index) as measures of changes in the 'cost of living' (COL). The primary basis of our challenge is the 'subjective' concept of welfare favoured by neo-classical economists. As shown by our results, a subjective welfare approach is relatively disadvantageous to those exhibiting more flexible preferences. Given that flexible behaviour could be a characteristic of the more income constrained and the not unreasonable possibility that preferences are income determined, the neo-classical COL approach is problematic in its axiomatic foundations, in its informational requirements and from an equity perspective. By contrast, with base year indices we objectively know what it is we are measuring. This is consistent with the defence by Sen (1985) and others of objective measures of welfare, which are also more conducive to progressive social policy than are subjective utility measures.

description: In this paper, the different operator forms of classical Yang-Baxter equation are given in the tensor expression through a unified algebraic method. It is closely related to left-symmetric algebras which play an important role in many fields in mathematics and mathematical physics. By studying the relations between left-symmetric algebras and classical Yang-Baxter equation, we can construct left-symmetric algebras from certain classical r-matrices and conversely, there is a natural classical r-matrix constructed from a left-symmetric algebra which corresponds to a parakähler structure in geometry. Moreover, the former in a special case gives an algebraic interpretation of the ``left-symmetry'' as a Lie bracket ``left-twisted'' by a classical r-matrix.

description: The amount of scientific knowledge in the world continues to increase at breakneck speed. Our knowledge is growing exponentially and, at current rates, will double about every five to ten years. What seemed technically impossible yesterday has already become reality today. Never before have we been able to gaze so far into the cosmos, manipulate genetic material so precisely and easily, or process and share data so quickly. In this edition of the Junge Akademie Magazin, we take you on a journey into the world of scientific high performance, where our members are helping to shape the technology of tomorrow. Biophysicist Ulrike Endesfelder employs high-definition microscopy to gain spectacular insights into living cells. Computer scientist Dirk Pflüger talks to us about the challenge of building a functioning supercomputer out of hundreds of thousands of processors. Bioinformatician Bettina Keller and cosmologist Fabian Schmidt explain how these supercomputers can be used to simulate the atomic movements of proteins and to map the structure of the universe. Atmospheric physicist Bernadette Weinzierl and musicologist Miriam Akkermann discuss the future of weather forecasting. High performance can, however, also come with a dark side. In the Junge Akademie’s film competition ‘be a better being’, numerous entries dealt with the pursuit of and pressure for constant self-improvement in the academic world and in society. Meanwhile, there is ever more pressure on individual researchers to quantify their performance; we delve further into this topic and suggest ways in which early career researchers can deal with this development in the commentary section. We hope you enjoy this issue of the Junge Akademie Magazin. The pressure is now on us to finish the next one! Tobi J. Erb

The mechanisms of orientational order in nematic liquid crystals
Creators: name: Li, Yuzheng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: We have analyzed the NMR spectra of a series of 19 di-halobenzenes having Cs or C₂v symmetry dissolved in a special mixture of nematic liquid crystals, i.e., 55 wt% 1132/EBBA-d₂. This mixture has the unique feature that dideuterium dissolved in it experiences a zero average electric field gradient. Therefore one can assume that for this mixture the contribution to the molecular order due to the interaction between the average electric field gradient and the quadrupole moment of the molecule can be neglected. It has been suggested that the orientational order also depends on the size and shape of the solutes and a model has been used to calculate the order parameters. Another model relates the ordering to the molecular polarizability anisotropy. A description of the ordering of molecules having Cs symmetry requires 3 independent order parameters and thus provides a strong test for the different models of orientational order. Comparisons are made between our experimentally determined order parameters and the theoretical values obtained using the size and shape, and the polarizability models. Very good agreement is obtained for the size and shape model. However, it is found that any mechanism, involving a molecular property which is approximately bond additive, can not predict the differences found between the ortho- and meta-dihalobenzenes. Consequently, a poor agreement results from the polarizability model when a bond-additive scheme is used to calculate the molecular polarizability. Further investigation of the correlation between order parameters and solute molecules suggests that the molecular shape dominates the orientational behavior.

description: The theoretical description of quantum phase transition, induced by the external magnetic field, into antiferromagnetic state in the van Vleck - singlet - magnet with a single-ion anisotropy of "easy-plane" type and ion spin S=1 is proposed. It is shown that the spin polarization of the ground non-degenerated state proves to be the order parameter of such a transition and that the Landau thermodynamic approach can be employed for its (transition) description. The magnetic properties which include the field behavior of the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the antiferromagnetic phase in the fields of different directions are studied. The peculiarities of induced magnetostriction in van Vleck antiferromagnet, which as well as magnetization has a singularity in the phase transition point, are investigated. An attempt is made for qualitative comparison of results obtained with avaliable experimental data.

Giant Magneto-impedance in stress-annealed Finemet/Copper/Finemet based trilayer structures

description: The resistive and reactive components of magneto-impedance (MI) for Finemet/Copper/Finemet sandwiched structures based on stress-annealed nanocrystalline Fe75Si15B6Cu1Nb3 ribbons as functions of different fields (longitudinal and perpendicular) and frequencies have been measured and analyzed. Maximum magneto-resistance and magneto-inductance ratios of 700% and 450% have been obtained in 30-600 kHz frequency range respectively. These large magneto-resistance and magneto-inductive ratios are a direct consequence of the large effective relative permeability due to the closed magnetic flux path in the trilayer structure. The influence of perpendicular bias fields (Hper) in the Longitudinal Magneto-impedance (LMI) configuration greatly improves the MI ratios and sensitivities. The maximum MI ratio for the resistive part increases to as large as 2500% for Hper ~ 1 Oe. The sensitivity of the magneto-resistance increases from 48%/Oe to 288%/Oe at 600 kHz frequency with the application of Hper ~ 30 Oe. Such high increase in MI ratios and sensitivities with perpendicular bias fields are due to the formation the favourable (transverse) domain structures.

description: This paper examines the distribution of lifetime income in Ireland. To do this a new prototype dynamic microsimulation model for Ireland is used to generate lifetime income streams. Aggregating over the lifetime we can assess the distribution of lifetime income and the degree of redistribution in the tax-benefit system. In addition to the effect of taxes and benefits, we decompose lifetime income into its components and examine the impact of different life-cycle patterns.

description: Parents use digital-specific strategies to mitigate online risks and augment online benefits of digital technology in their children’s lives. The goal of this study was to develop and validate a measure of parents’ attitudes about mediation of digital technology. An internet-based survey was administered to 460 parents of children and adolescents in the United States. Exploratory bifactor analysis revealed one general factor, reflecting general parenting attitudes, and four digital-specific factors: discursive mediation, restrictive mediation and monitoring, participatory mediation, and mediation by modeling. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a bifactor model of the Digital Parental Mediation Attitudes Scale (DPMAS); the general factor explained shared variance related to parenting style and skills in general, while the mediation factors represented digital-specific attitudes. Construct validity was evidenced in differential associations between mediation factors and parenting efficacy, influence, child age, and parent and child technology use patterns. Prior State of Knowledge: Research exploring the effectiveness of digital parenting strategies (e.g. discursive and restrictive mediation) has not conceptualized or measured these constructs consistently. This limits the extent to which scholars, policy makers, and parents can draw conclusions about the efficacy of digital parental mediation. Novel Contributions: To facilitate a coherent evidence base about digital parenting, the current study developed and validated a quantitative measure of US parents’ attitudes about mediation related to digital and social technologies using structural equation modeling. Practical Implications: The Digital Parenting Mediation Attitude Scale (DPMAS) assess parents’ attitudes across four dimensions (discursive, restrictive/monitoring, participatory, modeling) and can assist in the development and evaluation of interventions to support youth and families in a dynamic and rapidly evolving technological environment.
