Regrouping at the parental home : a grounded theory of female adult children's experiences of returning home to live
Creators: name: Paseluikho, Michele A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this qualitative research study was to describe female adult children's experiences when they return to the parental home to live, and to develop theory to explain the processes and consequences involved in the return to the parental home. Primary data sources included 1 1/2 hour audiotaped, semi-structured interviews with 15 female adult children who had returned to the parental home to live. Other sources of data included individual and conjoint interviews with parents and daughters from a subset of four families, and field notes about the interviews. Grounded theory methodology (Strauss & Corbin, 1990, 1998) was used. Transcribed interviews were systematically analyzed to develop a theoretical model, in which the core social and psychological process was labelled "regrouping." In response to life events and personal choices, women return to the parental home to regroup--to recuperate, reenergize, contemplate and pursue lifeplans. Their intention is to enhance personal well-being and to secure a better quality life in the future. Regrouping is embedded in the life context of female adult children's specific life-events and choices, living environments, family and social relationships, and sociocultural scripts -- all conditions that can hinder or facilitate the process. Regrouping is a cyclical rather than a linear process. Female adult children who had returned to the parental home did not experience a simple, uncomplicated linear forward movement towards attaining valued personal goals. Rather, they experienced an oscillating pattern of “faltering” and "advancing" in their efforts to realize valued goals. This experience has implications for the development of a fluctuating sense of self or self-image, the fulfilment of personal goals, the quality of the experience as positive or negative, and for family relations. The contribution of the theoretical model to the literature is the discovery that returning home in adulthood may be a strategy for managing change and transition in one's life and for attaining certain lifespan development tasks (e.g., individuating from parents, establishing a career, and attaining financial security). Implications for counselling practice, and the self-help needs of adults who have returned home to live are noted. Suggestions for facilitating returning adult children's personal development (i.e., clarifying personal goals, weighing the pros and cons of returning and remaining at the parental home, maintaining self-esteem, seeking social support) and facilitating family relations . (i.e, having realistic expectations of parents, being sensitive to mothers, negotiating privacy and boundaries, managing cross-cultural dynamics) are discussed. It is suggested that future research extend the application of the theory to men, as well as more diverse ethnic groups.
High Energy Cosmic Rays from Local GRBs

description: We have developed a model that explains cosmic rays with energies E between \~0.3 PeV and the energy of the second knee at E_2 ~ 3*10^{17} eV as originating from a recent Galactic gamma-ray burst (GRB) that occurred ~1 Myr ago within 1 kpc from Earth. Relativistic shocks from GRBs are assumed to inject power-law distributions of cosmic rays (CRs) to the highest energies. Diffusive propagation of CRs from the local GRB explains the CR spectrum near and above the first knee at E_1 ~ 3*10^{15} eV. The first and the second knees are explained as being directly connected with the injection of plasma turbulence in the interstellar medium on a ~1 pc and ~100 pc scales, respectively. Transition to CRs from extragalactic GRBs occurs at E > E_2. The origin of the ankle in the CR spectrum at E ~ 4*10^{18} eV is due to photopair energy losses of UHECRs on cosmological timescales, as also suggested by Berezinsky and collaborators. Any significant excess flux of extremely high energy CRs deviating from the exponential cutoff behavior at E> E_{GZK} = 6*10^{19} eV would imply a significant contribution due to recent GRB activity on timescales t < 10^8 yrs from local extragalactic sources within ~10 Mpc.

description: Uncertainty often plays an important role in dynamic flow problems. In this paper, we consider both, a stationary and a dynamic flow model with uncertain boundary data on networks. We introduce two different ways how to compute the probability for random boundary data to be feasible, discussing their advantages and disadvantages. In this context, feasible means, that the flow corresponding to the random boundary data meets some box constraints at the network junctions. The first method is the spheric radial decomposition and the second method is a kernel density estimation. In both settings, we consider certain optimization problems and we compute derivatives of the probabilistic constraint using the kernel density estimator. Moreover, we derive necessary optimality conditions for the stationary and the dynamic case. Throughout the paper, we use numerical examples to illustrate our results by comparing them with a classical Monte Carlo approach to compute the desired probability.

Two Government Failures? A Tale of Sugar and Wool

Year: 1993
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: A discussion is provided of policy developments and policy debate for the sugar and wool industries in 1992 and the first half of l993. The discussion is set against a characterisation of the longer-term economic situations of the two industries. It is suggested, perhaps controversially, that government failure has been a longstanding feature of both industries. Understanding of the policy reform needed to remove economic inefficiency is better for sugar than for wool. However, the decisions taken on sugar policy in February, 1993 mean that incentives for wasteful use of resources are maintained. In the case of wool, the Gamaut inquiry faces a challenge in trying to come to grips, in a period of three months, with the major short- to medium-term problems of debt repayment and disposal of the stockpile, as well as the apparent longer-term problem of creating incentives to restrict wool exports to the optimal level.

Dipions favor interpreting the decay as J/PsiRho, implying even C-parity for the X. Modeling uncertainties do not allow distinguishing between S- and P-wave decays of the J/PsiRho mode. Effects of Rho-Omega interference in X decay are also introduced.

Neutrino mass constraints beyond linear order: cosmology dependence and systematic biases
Creators: name: Boyle, Aoife

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We demonstrate the impact on forecasted neutrino mass constraints of extending galaxy clustering and CMB lensing predictions from linear to next-to-leading-order power spectra. The redshift-space 1-loop power spectrum model we adopt requires an additional four free bias parameters, a velocity bias parameter and two new stochastic parameters. These additional nuisance parameters appreciably weaken the constraints on $M_ν$. CMB lensing plays a significant role in helping to alleviate these degeneracies and tighten the final constraints. The constraint on the optical depth to reionisation $τ$ has a strong effect on the constraint on $M_ν$, but only when CMB lensing is included in the analysis to keep the degeneracies with the nuisance parameters under control. We also extract constraints when 1) using the BAO signature only as a distance probe, and 2) isolating the scale-dependence of the power spectrum, which, as shown in previous work, provides a cosmology-independent probe of $M_ν$. All constraints except the latter remain strongly sensitive to the assumption of a flat $Λ$CDM universe. We perform an analysis of the magnitude of the shift introduced in the inferred $M_ν$ value when neglecting nonlinear corrections, and show that, for a Euclid-like survey, this shift becomes roughly equal to the 1$σ$ constraint itself even with a conservative cut-off scale of $k_{max} = 0.1~h~{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$. We also perform a calculation of the appropriate expected bias in neutrino mass caused by not including the next, 2-loop order and expect a shift of only about 20% of the 1$σ$ error for $k_{max}=0.2~h~{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$ in a Euclid-like survey.

description: This study seeks to estimate the rate by which inputs in Australian pig production are substituted for one another when prices change. It employs a dual approach to response analysis. Using cost shares of inputs and input price indexes for the period 1977-78 to 1990-91, a set of equations derived from a transcendental logarithmic function is estimated with symmetry and homogeneity constraints imposed. The results indicate that, with the exception of the demand for feed which is a vital production input, pig producers are very responsive to own price changes. The estimated elasticities generally differ in magnitude from similar studies of the Australian agricultural sector, and suggest that, at a lower level of aggregation, farmers are more flexible in changing input mix.

description: The world is going through one of the most dangerous pandemics of all time with the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). According to the World Health Organisation, the most effective way to thwart the transmission of coronavirus is to wear medical face masks. Monitoring the use of face masks in public places has been a challenge because manual monitoring could be unsafe. This paper proposes an architecture for detecting medical face masks for deployment on resource-constrained endpoints having extremely low memory footprints. A small development board with an ARM Cortex-M7 microcontroller clocked at 480 Mhz and having just 496 KB of framebuffer RAM, has been used for the deployment of the model. Using the TensorFlow Lite framework, the model is quantized to further reduce its size. The proposed model is 138 KB post quantization and runs at the inference speed of 30 FPS.

description: We investigate Bak-Sneppen coevolution models on scale-free networks with various degree exponents $γ$ including random networks. For $γ>3$, the critical fitness value $f_c$ approaches to a nonzero finite value in the limit $N \to \infty$, whereas $f_c$ approaches to zero as $2_N$ on the networks with size $N$. The avalanche size distribution $P(s)$ shows the normal power-law behavior for $γ>3$. In contrast, $P(s)$ for $2 τ_2$). The origin of the two power-regimes is explained by the dynamics on an artificially-made star-linked network.

description: Modelling catalytic fixed bed reactors with a small tube-to-particle diameter ratio requires a detailed description of the interactions between fluid flow, intra-particle transport, and the chemical reaction(s) within the catalyst. Particle-resolved computational fluid dynamics (PRCFD) simulations are the most promising approach to predict the behaviour of these reactors accurately, since they take into account the local packed bed structure explicitly. In this work, a conjugated heat and mass transfer model for use in PRCFD simulations is presented in order to couple the fluid flow through the fixed bed with transport and reaction in the porous catalyst, while guaranteeing the no-slip boundary condition at the fluid–solid interface. For this purpose, the solutions of the solid and fluid domain are computed separately and are coupled by calculation and updating the boundary condition at the particle surface. Owing to the consideration of secondary gradients, the developed transfer model is also valid for unstructured calculation meshes containing non-orthogonal cells at the fluid–solid interface. Such meshes are often used to resolve complex geometries, such as a packed bed, in a computationally efficient manner. The coupling approach is validated using cases for which an analytical solution or literature correlations derived from experimental data are available. The simulation results of a short catalytic packed bed with rings catalysing the partial oxidation of n-butane to maleic anhydride exemplify the potential of PRCFD involving reactions to analyse the catalyst performance in great detail.
The Effect of Skillstreaming Intervention on Students‟ Non-Independently Resolved Conflicts

Subjects: subject: Education -- Research papers (Graduate)

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if a modified version of the Skillstreaming curriculum, incorporated into a whole class morning circle routine, would be effective in reducing students‟ non-independently solved conflicts, or conflicts that necessitated teacher intervention. The measurement tool was a researcher created tally mark system for tracking the number of non-independently solved student conflicts. The study involved a pre-experimental one group pre-test, post-test design to measure the data collected from the tally mark system. The results of the data showed no significant difference in the pre and post data. However, due to researcher observations of other results in the sample group that were not captured in the data, further research on this intervention is merited. Problems stemming from students‟ lack of social skills and impacting students‟ academic, behavioral and social development are widely acknowledged in the research. While the data in this study does not show a statistically significant difference, there is potential for further investigation and intervention to improve students‟ abilities to deal with peer conflict.
A Herculean Task? Economics, Politics, and Realigning Government in the Case of U.S. Polar-Orbiting Weather Satellites

description: In 1994 one of the most radical institutional restructurings in the U.S. government's provision of critical weather information took place after eight unsuccessful attempts. A presidential decision directive merged weather data collection by satellites operated by the Department of Defense for military operations and satellites operated by the Department of Commerce for civilian weather forecasting. Such radical restructuring involving government agencies with different objectives, economic constraints, and operating cultures is rare. This paper reviews the decision that led to "convergence," discusses economic arguments advanced for the merger, and finds that the problem of an incomplete contract, from the perspective of contract theory, is the fundamental challenge confronting the new structure. The paper also discusses the implications of the new organizational structure for incentives to engage in research and development in pushing the frontier of space technology, and the increasingly large role played by satellites in collecting not only weather but also climate-related data.

description: Supporters of the effort to link cleanups at hazardous waste sites to the sites' expected land uses claim that amending language in the federal Superfund statute to allow this may yield a number of benefits. These include rationalizing the cleanup process and decreasing cleanup costs, promoting economic development in the local communities that host Superfund sites, and helping such communities exercise more control over the cleanups. However, interviews with Superfund stakeholders and a detailed case study call into question these arguments. The current role of land use in cleanup, uncertainties about whether economic development is likely at the bulk of Superfund sites, the long-run viability of institutional controls, the willingness of communities to accept cleanups that leave contamination on-site, and the nature of public involvement all suggest that the benefits of tying land use to remedy selection may not be so straight forward.

description: We report the discovery of a new open cluster (OC) in the Galaxy at $\ell=167.0^\circ$ and $b=-1.0^\circ$. Its field includes the planetary nebula (PN) PK 167-0.1. We study the possible associations of the PN/OC pairs NGC 2818/NGC 2818A, NGC 2438/M 46 (NGC 2437), PK 6+2.5/NGC 6469, as well as of the PN PK 167-0.1 with New Cluster 1. The analyses are based on near-infrared colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and stellar radial density profiles (RDPs). NGC 6469 is located in a heavily contaminated bulge field. The CMD morphology, especially for the latter two cases, is defined with a field star decontamination algorithm applied to the 2MASS \jj, \hh, and \ks photometry. Field decontamination for the OCs NGC 2818A and M 46 produced better defined CMDs and more accurate cluster parameters than in the literature. Those pieces of evidence point to M 46 as physically associated with the PN NGC 2438. The same occurs for the OC NGC 2818A and the PN NGC 2818, however previous radial velocity arguments indicate that they are not associated. The OC NGC 6469 does not appear to be associated with the PN PK 6+2.5, which probably belongs to the bulge. Finally, the distance of the OC New Cluster 1 is consistent with a physical association with the PN PK 167-0.1.

description: We present extensive Molecular Dynamics simulation results for the structure, static and dynamical response of a droplet of 1000 soft spheres carrying extended dipoles and confined to spherical cavities of radii $R=2.5$, 3, and 4 nm embedded in a dielectric continuum of permittivity $ε' \geq 1$. The polarisation of the external medium by the charge distribution inside the cavity is accounted for by appropriate image charges. We focus on the influence of the external permittivity $ε'$ on the static and dynamic properties of the confined fluid. The density profile and local orientational order parameter of the dipoles turn out to be remarkably insensitive to $ε'$. Permittivity profiles $ε(r)$ inside the spherical cavity are calculated from a generalised Kirkwood formula. These profiles oscillate in phase with the density profiles and go to a ``bulk'' value $ε_b$ away from the confining surface; $ε_b$ is only weakly dependent on $ε'$, except for $ε' = 1$ (vacuum), and is strongly reduced compared to the permittivity of a uniform (bulk) fluid under comparable thermodynamic conditions. The dynamic relaxation of the total dipole moment of the sample is found to be strongly dependent on $ε'$, and to exhibit oscillatory behaviour when $ε'=1$; the relaxation is an order of magnitude faster than in the bulk. The complex frequency-dependent permittivity $ε(ω)$ is sensitive to $ε'$ at low frequencies, and the zero frequency limit $ε(ω=0)$ is systematically lower than the ``bulk'' value $ε_b$ of the static primitivity.

description: Cavity resonators are promising resources for quantum technology, while native nonlinear interactions for cavities are typically too weak to provide the level of quantum control required to deliver complex targeted operations. Here we investigate a scheme to engineer a target Hamiltonian for photonic cavities using ancilla qubits. By off-resonantly driving dispersively coupled ancilla qubits, we develop an optimized approach to engineering an arbitrary photon-number-dependent (PND) Hamiltonian for the cavities while minimizing the operation errors. The engineered Hamiltonian admits various applications including canceling unwanted cavity self-Kerr interactions, creating higher-order nonlinearities for quantum simulations, and designing quantum gates resilient to noise. Our scheme can be implemented with coupled microwave cavities and transmon qubits in superconducting circuit systems.

description: Abstract: Deep learning based visual cognition has greatly improved the accuracy of defect detection, reducing processing times and increasing product throughput across a variety of manufacturing use cases. There is however a continuing need for rigorous procedures to dynamically update model-based detection methods that use sequential streaming during the training phase. This paper reviews how new process, training or validation information is rigorously incorporated in real time when detection exceptions arise during inspection. In particular, consideration is given to how new tasks, classes or decision pathways are added to existing models or datasets in a controlled fashion. An analysis of studies from the incremental learning literature is presented, where the emphasis is on the mitigation of process complexity challenges such as, catastrophic forgetting. Further, practical implementation issues that are known to affect the complexity of deep learning model architecture, including memory allocation for incoming sequential data or incremental learning accuracy, is considered. The paper highlights case study results and methods that have been used to successfully mitigate such real-time manufacturing challenges.

description: We critically review the Kyoto Protocol and thirteen alternative policy architectures for addressing the threat of global climate change. We employ six criteria to evaluate the policy proposals: environmental outcome, dynamic efficiency, cost effectiveness, equity, flexibility in the presence of new information, and incentives for participation and compliance. The Kyoto Protocol does not fare well on a number of criteria, but none of the alternative proposals fare well along all six dimensions. We identify several major themes among the alternative proposals: Kyoto is "too little, too fast"; developing countries should play a more substantial role and receive incentives to participate; implementation should focus on market-based approaches, especially those with price mechanisms; and participation and compliance incentives are inadequately addressed by most proposals. Our investigation reveals tensions among several of the evaluative criteria, such as between environmental outcome and efficiency, and between cost-effectiveness and incentives for participation and compliance.

description: We show that in the quadratic curvature theory of gravity, or simply $R_{μν} ^2$ gravity, the tree-level unitariy bound (tree unitarity) is violated in the UV region but an analog for $S$-matrix unitarity ($SS^{\dagger} = 1$) is satisfied. This theory is renormalizable, and hence the failure of tree unitarity is a counter example of Llewellyn Smith's conjecture on the relation between them. We have recently proposed a new conjecture that $S$-matrix unitarity gives the same conditions as renormalizability. We verify that $S$-matrix unitarity holds in the matter-graviton scattering at tree level in the $R_{μν} ^2$ gravity, demonstrating our new conjecture.

This is done non-perturbatively exploiting the infinite mass limit of QCD. This study is interesting because it can be used for future developments within the framework of Effective Field Theories (EFTs) and because it can be combined with other techniques, like lattice QCD or AdS/CFT, to gain non-perturbative information about the evolution of quarkonium in a medium. We also study the obtained expressions in the large $N_{c}$ limit. This allows us to learn lessons that are useful to simplify phenomenological models of quarkonium in a plasma.

description: The fixed points of a natural torus action on the Hilbert schemes of points in C^2 are quiver varieties of infinite type A. The equivariant cohomology of the Hilbert schemes and quiver varieties can be given the structure of bosonic and fermionic Fock spaces respectively. Then the localization theorem, which relates the equivariant cohomology of a space with that of its fixed point set, yields a geometric realization of the important boson-fermion correspondence.

description: Satellite solar power (SSP) has been suggested as an alternative to terrestrial energy resources for electricity generation. In this study, we consider the market for electricity from the present to 2020, roughly the year when many experts expect SSP to be technically achievable. We identify several key challenges for SSP in competing with conventional electricity generation in developed and developing countries, discuss the role of market and economic analysis as technical development of SSP continues during the coming years, and suggest future research directions to improve understanding of the potential economic viability of SSP.

description: Individual fishery quotas (IFQs) are an increasingly prevalent form of fishery management around the world, with more than 170 species currently managed with IFQs. Yet, because of the difficulties in matching quota holdings with catches, many argue that IFQs are not appropriate for multispecies fisheries. Using on-the-ground-experience with multispecies IFQ fisheries in Iceland, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada, we assess the design and use of catch-quota balancing mechanisms. Our methodology includes a mix of interviews with fishery managers, industry representatives, and brokers, literature review, and data analysis. We find that a combination of incentives and limits on use rates for the mechanisms provide sufficient flexibility to the quota owner without the fishery manager incurring excessive levels of overexploitation risk. Contrary to some opinions, these programs are evidence that it is possible to implement IFQ programs for multispecies fisheries and that they can be profitable and sustainable.
L-GALAXIES 2020: The evolution of radial metallicity profiles and global metallicities in disc galaxies

description: We present a modified version of the L-GALAXIES 2020 semi-analytic model of galaxy evolution, which includes significantly increased direct metal enrichment of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) by supernovae (SNe). These more metal-rich outflows do not require increased mass-loading factors, in contrast to some other galaxy evolution models. This modified L-GALAXIES 2020 model is able to simultaneously reproduce the gas-phase metallicity $(Z_{\rm g})$ and stellar metallicity $(Z_{*})$ radial profiles observed in nearby disc galaxies by MaNGA and MUSE, as well as the observed mass - metallicity relations for gas and stars at $z=0$ and their evolution back to $z\sim{}2-3$. A direct CGM enrichment fraction of $\sim{}90\%$ for SNe-II is preferred. We find that massive disc galaxies have slightly flatter $Z_{\rm g}$ profiles than their lower-mass counterparts in L-GALAXIES 2020, due to more efficient enrichment of their outskirts via inside-out growth and metal-rich accretion. Such a weak, positive correlation between stellar mass and $Z_{\rm g}$ profile slope is also seen in our MaNGA-DR15 sample of 571 star-forming disc galaxies. Although, below ${\rm log}(M_{*}/{\rm M}_{\odot})\sim{}10.0$ this observational result is strongly dependent on the metallicity diagnostic and morphological selection chosen. In addition, a lowered maximum SN-II progenitor mass of $25{\rm M}_{\odot}$, reflecting recent theoretical and observational estimates, can also provide a good match to observed metallicity profiles at $z=0$ in L-GALAXIES 2020. However, this model version fails to reproduce an evolution in $Z_{\rm g}$ at fixed mass over cosmic time, or the magnesium abundances observed in the intracluster medium (ICM).

The Measurement of the Energy Intensity of Manufacturing Industries: A Principal Components Analysis

description: Energy intensity is the ratio of energy use to output. Most industries deal with several energy sources and outputs. This leads to the usual difficulties of aggregating heterogeneous inputs and outputs. We apply principal components analysis to assess the information derived from six energy intensity indicators. We use two measures of total energy use (thermal and economic) and three measures of industry output (value added, value of production, and value of shipments). The data comes from manufacturing industries in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia from 1976 to 1996. We find that the variation of the six energy intensity indicators that is accounted for by the first principal component is quite large. However, depending on how variables are measured, there may be significant differences in the assessment of the evolution of inergy intensity for some industries. There are no particular patterns in this respect. This makes identifying benchmarks that could be used to assess future performance difficult.

description: This paper presents results from modelling 450 micron and 850 micron continuum and HCO+ line observations of three distinct cores of an infrared dark cloud (IRDC) directed toward the W51 GMC. In the sub-mm continuum these cores appear as bright, isolated emission features. One of them coincides with the peak of 8.3 micron extinction as measured by the Midcourse Space Experiment satellite. Detailed radiative transfer codes are applied to constrain the cores' physical conditions to address the key question: Do these IRDC-cores harbour luminous sources? The results of the continuum model, expressed in the $χ^2$ quality-of-fit parameter, are also constrained by the absence of 100 micron emission from IRAS. For the sub-mm emission peaks this shows that sources of 300 solar luminosities are embedded within the cores. For the extinction peak, the combination of continuum and HCO+ line modelling indicates that a heating source is present as well. Furthermore, the line model provides constraints on the clumpiness of the medium. All three cores have similar masses of about 70-150 solar masses and similar density structures. The extinction peak differs from the other two cores by hosting a much weaker heating source, and the sub-mm emission core at the edge of the IRDC deviates from the other cores by a higher internal clumpiness.
