Northern Ireland Social Attitudes Survey, 1993
Northern Ireland Social Attitudes Survey, 1989-1996
NISA
Creators: name: Social And Community Planning Research
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1995

description: The Northern Ireland Social Attitudes (NISA) survey series began in 1989, and was conducted every year in which the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey was fielded until 1996. Supported initially by the Nuffield Foundation, the Central Community Relations Unit (CCRU) and the Policy Planning Research Unit (PPRU - now the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency), the NISA series is currently funded by all of the main Northern Ireland Departments. NISA has not been conducted since 1996, but was replaced by the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey series (NILT), held at UKDA under SN:33312, which began in 1998, and its corresponding Young Life and Times Survey (YLT) series (held under GN:33313), which surveys young people aged 12-17 living in the households of adults interviewed for NILT.

Like its companion survey, British Social Attitudes, NISA was designed to complement large-scale government surveys (such as the Continuous Household Survey and the Quarterly Labour Force Survey) which collect mainly factual and behavioural data. Its main purpose was to allow the monitoring of patterns of continuity and change, and the examination of the relative rates at which attitudes, in respect of a range of social issues, change over time. NISA thus allows direct comparison of the attitudes, values and beliefs held by UK citizens on either side of the Irish Sea. Data users should, however, note that the two sets of data cannot be combined to produce UK data.
The Imprint of Spiral Arms on the Galactic Rotation Curve
Creators: name: McGaugh, Stacy

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We discuss a model for the Milky Way obtained by fitting the observed terminal velocities with the radial acceleration relation. The resulting stellar surface density profile departs from a smooth exponential disk, having bumps and wiggles that correspond to massive spiral arms. These features are used to estimate the term for the logarithmic density gradient in the Jeans equation, which turn out to have exactly the right location and amplitude to reconcile the apparent discrepancy between the stellar rotation curve and that of the interstellar gas. This model also predicts a gradually declining rotation curve outside the solar circle with slope $-1.7\;\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}\,\mathrm{kpc}^{-1}$, as subsequently observed.

Individual Commitment to Lifetime Learning : Employers' Attitudes, 1994
Individual Commitment to Lifetime Learning, 1993-1994
Creators: name: Policy Studies Institute
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1997

description: The Employment Department have commissioned three studies of attitudes to individual commitment to learning. The first in the series examined individuals' attitudes to learning (SN:3305), the second was concerned with employers' attitudes to learning (SN:3445) while the third covered the providers of adult learning (SN:3446). Taken together, the three studies have been designed to produce an overall picture and explanation of attitudes to adult learning.

 The aim of this study, the second in the series, was to increase understanding of the employers' role in lifetime learning; how they contribute to lifetime learning, their attitudes towards it and the factors which shape their policies and practices affecting lifetime learning.

The brown and white mottled colonies are edged in brown (Fig. 12C). Inflated in life, the colonies become thick crusts when fixed. The common cloacal apertures are wide at the junction of large channels surrounding groups of zooids. The thin surface of the tunic contains dense morula cells and brown pigment cells. A black spot is present against the neural ganglion and the body wall of the zooids has brown pigment cells. The thoraces are contracted so the number of stigmata in the branchial sac of adult zooids could not be counted. But in advanced buds 10 stigmata are in the 3 first rows and 9 stigmata in the fourth row. The muscular appendage originates from the long waist at its anterior part (Fig. 13A). The abdomen (Fig. 13B) is embedded in a solid capsule of tunic containing pigment and morula cells. A large oocyte (not shown) lies against 2 testis vesicles. The larvae, 1mm in length (Fig. 13C), are contained in the basal layer of the colony in contact with the common cloacal cavity. Their internal structure is obscured by pigment cells of the epithelium. Three adhesive papillae are bordered with 4 vesicles on each side. Three blastozooids on one side and one on the other side have already developed thoraces and abdomens. The tail is wound in half a turn around the trunk.
 Diplosoma ferrugeum Kott, 2001 corresponds in all characters to D. versicolor: colony shape and colour, pigment and morula cells, zooids, structure of the larva with numerous blastozooids; it thus represents a junior synonym of D. versicolor.
The geographic distribution extends from New Caledonia to east and west Australia and now Malaysia.

On the Origin of Lyman$α$ Blobs at High Redshift: Submillimetric Evidence for a Hyperwind Galaxy at z=3.1

description: The most remarkable class of high-redshift objects observed so far is extended Ly$α$ emission-line blobs found in an over-density region at redshift 3.1. They may be either a dust-enshrouded, extreme starburst galaxy with a large-scale galactic outflow (superwind) or cooling radiation from dark matter halos. Recently one of these Ly$α$ blobs has been detected at submillimeter wavelengths (450 and 850 $μ$m). Here we show that its rest-frame spectral energy distribution between optical and far-infrared is quite similar to that of Arp 220, which is a typical ultraluminous starburst/superwind galaxy in the local universe. This suggests strongly that the superwind model proposed by Taniguchi & Shioya is applicable to this Ly$α$ blob. Since the blob is more luminous in the infrared by a factor of 30 than Arp 220, it comprises a new population of hyperwind galaxies at high redshift.

Perceptions of learner identity amongst students progressing from a Foundation degree to Honours top-up
Creators: name: Barrow, Charlotte
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2018

description: This study examines perceptions of learner identity and the factors that influence and shape this amongst direct entrants (‘top-up’ students) from Foundation Degree (FD) study in Further Education Colleges (FECs) into year three of an undergraduate Education degree in a large post-1992 Higher Education Institution (HEI). Since the origination of Foundation Degrees (FDs) in 2000-2001, enrolment numbers have borne witness to rapid peaks, a trend that has declined significantly in recent years. Despite the unique temporal nature of this brisk emergence and growth within the UK Higher Education (HE) sector, there is an absence of studies that scrutinise the significance and impact of dual HE experiences for these learners. This creates an opportunity to examine the nature of the capital these students bring with them and the extent to which this is valued, as studies in this area tend to identify these learners as deficient in the skills, knowledge and experience required to flourish in an HEI. Through employing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this thesis presents the findings of interviews with eight top-up learners progressing from five different FECs at the end of their Honours level year. The study uses the concepts of institutional habitus and capital (identity, social and cultural) to understand their experiences, and illustrates the complexity of the dual institutional habitus these students are required to navigate, and the impact of this upon perceptions of the self as a learner. Findings show that exposure to contrasting institutional habitus and the peripheral nature of participation these learners experience has significant consequences for their inclusion in HE, yet this can be mediated to some degree through the social capital top-up students bring to their learning at an HEI, which can serve as an important contributor to validate their sense of self as authentic learners. This study therefore presents an analysis of a distinctly changeable period of HE provision that is now subject to contraction within a broader climate of farreaching HE proposals and scrutiny, and so makes a timely contribution to debates around diversity and the nature of transformation possible as a result of HE participation.

description: A demand for infrastructure development concurrent with federal deficits and budget shortfalls faced by the government has encouraged private participation in infrastructure projects. This has caused infrastructure funds to evolve. Infrastructure funds allow investors to gain access to the underlying characteristics of the portfolio of infrastructure assets. These funds have seen a growth in investment through unlisted and listed equity and are attracting investors because of their stable, long-term nature and relatively strong yields. Pension funds have also invested in the infrastructure sector for portfolio diversification and risk mitigation. The investors can not only reduce risk by investing in a portfolio of infrastructure entities with a negative or relatively low correlation between them, but also by investing in the equity market of other sectors. A low correlation between infrastructure and other sectors has enticed the risk-averse managers to invest in infrastructure funds. This paper discusses various cash inflow channels that support infrastructure growth and the reasons for the exponential growth in infrastructure funds. Various barriers and regulations that discourage investment in infrastructure assets are also highlighted.

description: We discuss formation of dark matter (DM) mini-halos around primordial black holes (PBHs) and its implication on DM direct detection experiments, including axion searches. Motivated by LIGO observations, we consider $f_{\textrm{DM}} \simeq 0.01$ as the fraction of DM in PBHs with masses $10 M_{\odot} - 70 M_{\odot}$. In this case, we expect the presence of dressed PBHs after Milky Way halo formation with mini-halo masses peaked around $M_{\textrm{halo}} \sim (50-55) M_{\textrm{PBH}}$. We analyze the effect of tidal forces acting on dressed PBHs within the Milky Way galaxy. In the solar neighborhood, the mini-halos are resistant against tidal disruption from the mean-field potential of the galaxy and encounters with stars, but they undergo a small level of disruption caused by disk shocking. The presence of mini-halos around LIGO-motivated PBHs today could reduce by half the local dark matter background. High-resolution simulations are encouraged. If the proposed scenario is realized, chances of direct detection of DM would decrease.

description: The goal of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of applying the Quick Response Freight Manual (QRFM) to model freight transportation in a medium sized urban community. Typically, freight transportation needs are not included in the travel demand models developed and maintained for small and medium sized urban communities, or if freight is included in the model, it is often incorporated through rudimentary means or as an after-thought. Previously, the neglect of freight was justifiable as passenger car transportation was the primary focus of roadway improvements. However, the ever-increasing volume of freight movements, coupled with manufacturers implementing cost saving strategies such as just-in-time delivery systems, have resulted in community infrastructure needs and investment decisions tools that should include freight volumes as a component. This paper contains a case study using a medium sized urban area travel model and the QRFM trip generation methodology to provide a framework for freight planning in other communities that can be used to improve resource allocation decisions.

description: We construct consistent interacting gauge theories for M conformal massless spin-2 fields ("Weyl gravitons") with the following properties: (i) in the free limit, each field fulfills the equation ${\cal B}^{μν} = 0$, where ${\cal B}^{μν}$ is the linearized Bach tensor, (ii) the interactions contain no more than four derivatives, just as the free action and (iii) the internal metric for the Weyl gravitons is not positive definite. The interacting theories are obtained by gauging appropriate non-semi-simple extensions of the conformal algebra $so(4,2)$ with commutative, associative algebras of dimension M. By writing the action in terms of squares of supercurvatures, supersymmetrization is immediate and leads to consistent conformal supergravities with M interacting gravitons.

National Survey of Volunteering
Creators: name: Lynn, P.
name: Davis Smith, J.
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1995

description: The aims of this survey series are to ascertain :

the proportion of the population who are involved in voluntary activity in the UK;

the type of people most likely to volunteer;

the types of activities in which volunteers are engaged;

the motivations for volunteering;

the benefits and drawbacks of voluntary work.

 The 1991 survey was, to a large extent, a repeat of a 1981 survey (not held at the Data Archive), which was carried out by SCPR for the Volunteer Centre.

The need to repeat the 1981 survey was stimulated largely by changes in the role of the voluntary sector in the 1980s and by an apparent increase in the discrepancy between the demand for, and supply of, volunteers since the earlier survey. The 1991 survey looked at both formal organised volunteering and informal neighbourhood activity.

description: Road accident statistics are collected from information about personal injury road accidents and their consequent casualties, to a common national standard. The aim of collecting and publishing national road accident statistics is to inform public debate and to provide the basis for determining and monitoring effective road safety policies to reduce the road accident casualty toll. They are an essential requirement for monitoring targeted reductions in road accident casualties. The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data are reported consistently and accurately, and both national and local government, and local reporting police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard.

Users should note that for 1985-1991, and from 2002 onwards, the Vehicle Record file does not contain breath test data. This change has been made in order to protect confidentiality.

Data for 1985-1990 were deposited at the Archive at the beginning of 2006. Prior to this, the Archive only held the Road Accident Data series from 1991 onwards. No extra documentation was available for the 1985-1990 data, so users are advised to consult the documentation for the 1991 survey.

Further information about the Road Accident Data series and research based on it may be found on the government road accidents and safety statistics webpages.

These studies comprise information gathered using STATS19 and STATS20 forms.

 The second edition of the dataset (May 2001) includes information on location of accident (Easting/Northing, Road Number etc.) not previously deposited with the UK Data Archive.

description: Weigh-in-Motion sensors and environmental and structural instruments are being used by many state departments of transportation not only to monitor traffic, but also to evaluate the effect of different factors including traffic, temperature and strain on the life of pavement. A significant amount of information on instrumented test sections is available from test sites such as MNRoad, VA Smart road and NCAT, which continue to provide valuable information regarding different aspects of pavement design and performance. All pavement sections, however, are traversed by unique combinations of traffic during distinct temperature conditions. While general conclusions from an instrumented asphalt pavement test section in one state are applicable to other states, the unique combinations of temperature and traffic in any state call for state-specific data, such as seasonal load restrictions, when making policy decisions which impact the life of pavement, such as seasonal load restrictions. Many miles of low to medium volume roads in the state of Maine are traversed by heavy trucks, a large percentage of which transport logs for the forest product/paper industry, and these trucks have unique combinations of axle/wheels and trailers that are not commonly found in other states. Additionally, Maine experiences a pronounced fluctuation of temperature throughout the year. This study gathered traffic, environmental and pavement strain data on a section of Route 15 in Guilford, Maine with the following objectives: 1. To determine the traffic type and load distribution across different months; 2. To develop a model to predict pavement temperature at the location of critical strains; 3. To evaluate the effect of temperature on tensile strain in an asphalt pavement layer; 4. To develop a policy for placing and lifting the State of Maine’s seasonal load restrictions. This paper presents a sample of the data gathered, the analysis method employed, and suggests a systematic approach to using the data to determine appropriate times for placing and lifting of seasonal load restrictions based on environmental conditions, to minimize damage to the pavement and maximize pavement life. Since the data and observed performance can also be used to estimate the contribution of traffic in different seasons toward the damage of the pavement, both can be used to approximate the life expectancy of a pavement through rational means.

description: The dissipation associated with nonequilibrium flow processes is reflected by the formation of strange attractor distributions in phase space. The information dimension of these attractors is less than that of the equilibrium phase space, corresponding to the extreme rarity of nonequilibrium states. Here we take advantage of a simple model for heat conduction to demonstrate that the nonequilibrium dimensionality loss can definitely exceed the number of phase-space dimensions required to thermostat an otherwise Hamiltonian system.

description: In this paper, we present an end-to-end data-driven system, dubbed TransDec (short for Transportation Decision-Making), to enable decision-making queries in transportation systems with dynamic, real-time and historical data. With TransDec, we particularly address the challenges in visualization, monitoring, querying and analysis of dynamic and large-scale spatiotemporal transportation data. TransDec fuses a variety of transportation related real-world spatiotemporal datasets including massive traffic sensor data, trajectory data, transportation network data, and points-of-interest data to create an immersive and realistic virtual model of a transportation system. Atop such a virtual system, TransDec allows for processing a wide range of customized spatiotemporal queries efficiently and interactively. TransDec has a three-tier architecture, including a multimodal spatiotemporal database, an expressive and efficient query-engine and an interactive map-mashup presentation tier. With this paper, first we describe the components of the TransDec architecture. Subsequently, as proof-of-concept we present a number of decision-making queries enabled by TransDec.

We looked at the energy distribution of events with all three nucleons at high momentum (p > 250 MeV/c). This distribution has peaks where two nucleons each have 20% or less of the energy transfer (ie: the third or `leading' nucleon carries most of the kinetic energy). The angular distribution of these two `fast' nucleons shows a very large back-to-back peak, indicating the effect of correlations. While there is some theoretical disagreement, experimental evidence, plus calculations at lower energy by W. Glockle, indicates that these events are primarily sensitive to NN correlations.

description: Doping via electrostatic gating is a powerful and widely used technique to tune the electron densities in layered materials. The microscopic details of how these setups affect the layered material are, however, subtle and call for careful theoretical treatments. Using semiconducting monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as prototypical systems affected by electrostatic gating, we show that the electronic and optical properties change indeed dramatically when the gating geometry is properly taken into account. This effect is implemented by a self-consistent calculation of the Coulomb interaction between the charges in different sub-layers within the tight-binding approximation. Thereby we consider both, single- and double-sided gating. Our results show that, at low doping levels of $10^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$, the electronic bands of monolayer TMDs shift rigidly for both types of gating, and subsequently undergo a Lifshitz transition. When approaching the doping level of $10^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$, the band structure changes dramatically, especially in the case of single-sided gating where we find that monolayer \ce{MoS2} and \ce{WS2} become indirect gap semiconductors. The optical conductivities calculated within linear response theory also show clear signatures of these doping-induced band structure renormalizations. Our numerical results based on light-weighted tight-binding models indicate the importance of electronic screening in doped layered structures, and pave the way for further understanding gated super-lattice structures formed by mutlilayers with extended Moiré pattern.

description: Unmeasured, spatially-structured factors can confound associations between spatial environmental exposures and health outcomes. Adding flexible splines to a regression model is a simple approach for spatial confounding adjustment, but the spline degrees of freedom do not provide an easily interpretable spatial scale. We describe a method for quantifying the extent of spatial confounding adjustment in terms of the Euclidean distance at which variation is removed. We develop this approach for confounding adjustment with splines and using Fourier and wavelet filtering. We demonstrate differences in the spatial scales these bases can represent and provide a comparison of methods for selecting the amount of confounding adjustment. We find the best performance for selecting the amount of adjustment using an information criterion evaluated on an outcome model without exposure. We apply this method to spatial adjustment in an analysis of particulate matter and blood pressure in a cohort of United States women.

description: As public agencies strive to create more accurate travel demand and land-use models, they must also find ways to visualize the model output. The visualization of results is essential in model development to assess how the model is performing. Once a model is out of the development process and into applications, visualizations serve a different purpose. They must communicate the story that the model is telling, deftly showing how the model answers complex policy questions. The range of visualizations required to show these answers includes plots, tables, and maps. This paper will outline a visualization plan developed for the Oregon Department of Transportation Statewide Integrated Model (SWIM).

description: Bioimage analysis workflows allow the measurement of sample properties such as fluorescence intensity and polarization, cell number, and vesicles distribution, but often require the integration of multiple software tools. Furthermore, it is increasingly appreciated that to overcome the limitations of the 2D-view-based image analysis approaches and to correctly understand and interpret biological processes, a 3D segmentation of microscopy data sets becomes imperative. Despite the availability of numerous algorithms for the 2D and 3D segmentation, the latter still offers some challenges for the end-users, who often do not have either an extensive knowledge of the existing software or coding skills to link the output of multiple tools. While several commercial packages are available on the market, fewer are the open-source solutions able to execute a complete 3D analysis workflow. Here we present ZELDA, a new napari plugin that easily integrates the cutting-edge solutions offered by python ecosystem, such as scikit-image for image segmentation, matplotlib for data visualization, and napari multi-dimensional image viewer for 3D rendering. This plugin aims to provide interactive and zero-scripting customizable workflows for cell segmentation, vesicles counting, parent-child relation between objects, signal quantification, and results presentation; all included in the same open-source napari viewer, and “few clicks away”.

description: We present a simple metallicity estimator based on the logarithmic [NII]6584 / Halpha ratio, hereafter N2, which we envisage will become very useful for ranking galaxies in a metallicity sequence from redshift survey quality data even for moderately low spectral resolution. We have calibrated the N2 estimator using a compilation of HII galaxies having accurate oxygen abundances, plus photoionization models covering a wide range of abundances. The comparison of models and observations indicates that both primary and secondary nitrogen are important for the relevant range of metallicities. The N2 estimator follows a linear relation with log(O/H) that holds for the whole abundance range covered by the sample, from about 1/50th to twice the Solar value (7.2 < 12+log(O/H) < 9.1). We suggest that the ([SII]6717,6731 / Halpha) ratio (hereafter S2) can also be used as a rough metallicity indicator. Because of its large scatter the S2 estimator will be useful only in systems with very low metallicity, where [NII]6584 is not detected or in low resolution spectra where [NII]6584 is blended with Halpha.

description: We study three prominent diagnostics of chaos and scrambling in the context of two-dimensional conformal field theory: the spectral form factor, out-of-time-ordered correlators, and unitary operator entanglement. With the observation that all three quantities may be obtained by different analytic continuations of the torus partition function, we address the connections and distinctions between the information that each quantity provides us. In this process, we study the emergence of irrationality from "large-N" limits of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) as well as the explicit breakdown of rationality for theories with central charges greater than the number of their conserved currents. Our analysis begins to elucidate the intermediate dynamical behavior of theories that bridge the gap between integrable RCFTs and maximally chaotic holographic CFTs.

Relation to host: A vagrant on the lower leaf surface. No apparent damage was observed. Remarks: This new species is close to A. schinae Kuang 1986 by the shield design with median line and admedian lines complete, and the coverflap with short longitudinal ridges at base. This new species differs from A. schinae by the following characters: the prodorsal shield design without granules, admedian line converging to base, dorsal opisthosoma with obscure ridge, and the 3-rayed empodium. This new species was found associated with Taicolopodacus primus gen. et sp. nov. on the same host plant.
Etymology: The specific name means “obscure” in reference to the dorsal opisthosoma with obscure midridges.

description: Quantum system characterization techniques represent the front line in the identification and mitigation of noise in quantum computing, but can be expensive in terms of quantum resources and time to repeatedly employ. Another challenging aspect is that parameters governing the performance of various operations tend to drift over time, and monitoring these is hence a difficult task. One of the most promising characterization techniques, gate set tomography (GST), provides a self-consistent estimate of the completely positive, trace-preserving (CPTP) maps for a complete set of gates, as well as preparation and measurement operators. We develop a method for performance optimization seeded by tomography (POST), which couples the power of GST with a classical optimization routine to achieve a consistent gate improvement in just a short number of steps within a given calibration cycle. By construction, the POST procedure finds the best available gate operation given the hardware, and is therefore robust to the effects of drift. Further, in comparison to other quantum error mitigation techniques, it builds upon a one-time application of GST. To demonstrate the performance of this method on a real quantum computer, we map out the operations of six qubit pairs on the superconducting \emph{ibmq\_poughkeepsie} quantum device. Under the restriction of logical-only control, we monitor the performance of the POST approach on a chosen CNOT gate over a period of six weeks. In this time, we achieve a consistent improvement in gate fidelity, averaging a fidelity increase of 21.1\% as measured by randomized benchmarking. The POST approach should find wide applicability as it is hardware agnostic, and can be applied at the upper logical level or at a deeper pulse control level.

Soft SUSY breaking masses in a unified model with doublet-triplet splitting
Creators: name: Suematsu, Daijiro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study soft supersymmetry breaking parameters in a supersymmetric unified model which potentially solves the doublet-triplet splitting problem. In the model the doublet-triplet splitting is solved by the discrete symmetry which is allowed to be introduced due to the direct product structure of the gauge group. The messenger fields for the gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking are naturally embedded in the model. The discrete symmetry required by the doublet-triplet splitting makes the gaugino masses non-universal and also induces a different mass spectrum for the scalar masses from the ordinary minimal gauge mediation model. Independent physical CP phases can remain in the gaugino sector even after the R-transformation.
