Gender equality of Japanese women in interracial marriage
Creators: name: Liu, Tung-Mei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study applied a qualitative approach to explore five Japanese women's experiences and perceptions of gender equality in interracial marriage, with a primary focus on identifying common factors that affected their experiences. A new trend of interracial marriage among Japanese has emerged in recent years. Although the phenomenon of interracial marriages between Japanese women and Caucasian men has started after World War II, recent studies interpret this trend as a new phenomenon symbolizing feminist movement toward women's emancipation from a male-dominated society. These women's experiences have not been fully investigated. This study employed a multiple-case study method with semi-structured interviews to explore the five women' experiences as well as to identify factors contributing to their experiences. The emerging areas of experiences relevant to gender equality were divided into four different domains: (1) gender role, (2) finances and decision-making, (3) culture and language, and (4) personal power. Factors that contributed to these participants' experiences in these four domains were summarized into five categories: (a) gender role beliefs, (b) financial and cultural resources, (c) socio-cultural factors, (d) personalpsychological factors, and (e) husband's attitudes. The participants' experiences in each domain were influenced by a combination of different factors under these five categories with individual variations. The amount of significance attached to each factor varied from on participant to another. The final results of this study were compared against three major theories of gender equality: i.e., ideology theory, resource theory and process theory. The implications for theories, future research, and counselling are discussed.
Green-Schwarz Strings in TsT-transformed backgrounds

description: We consider classical strings propagating in a background generated by a sequence of TsT transformations. We describe a general procedure to derive the Green-Schwarz action for strings. We show that the U(1) isometry variables of the TsT-transformed background are related to the isometry variables of the initial background in a universal way independent of the details of the background. This allows us to prove that strings in the TsT-transformed background are described by the Green-Schwarz action for strings in the initial background subject to twisted boundary conditions. Our construction implies that a TsT transformation preserves integrability properties of the string sigma model. We discuss in detail type IIB strings propagating in the \g_i-deformed AdS_5 x S^5 space-time, find the twisted boundary conditions for bosons and fermions, and use them to write down an explicit expression for the monodromy matrix. We also discuss string zero modes whose dynamics is governed by a fermionicgeneralization of the integrable Neumann model.

description: Transdiagnostic treatments span a heterogeneous group of interventions that target a wider range of disorders and can be applied to treat several disorders simultaneously. Several meta-analyses have highlighted the evidence base of these novel therapies. However, these meta-analyses adopt different definitions of transdiagnostic treatments, and the growing field of transdiagnostic therapies has become increasingly difficult to grasp. The current narrative review proposes a distinction of “one size fits all” unified and “my size fits me” individualized approaches within transdiagnostic therapies. Unified treatments are applied as “broadband” interventions to a range of disorders without tailoring to the individual, while individualized treatments are tailored to the specific problem presentation of the individual, e.g., by selecting modules within modular treatments. The underlying theoretical foundation and relevant empirical evidence for these different transdiagnostic approaches are examined. Advantages and limitations of the transdiagnostic treatments as well as future developments are discussed.

description: Many farms have begun operating websites in order to promote their businesses. This study uses data from a 2005 survey of farms in the northeastern United States to identify characteristics of farmers, farms, and farm businesses associated with website adoption. Following a technology-adoption framework, a probit model of website use is estimated to identify significant relationships. Sales location, product type, number of advertising methods used, high-speed Internet connection, land tenure arrangement, and gross farm sales is found to be significantly related to website adoption.

description: Large quantities of ammonia (NH3 or NH4+) are absorbed from the gut, associated with encephalitis in hepatic disease, poor protein efficiency in livestock, and emissions of nitrogenous climate gasses. Identifying the transport mechanisms appears urgent. Recent functional and mRNA data suggest that absorption of ammonia from the forestomach of cattle may involve TRPV3 channels. The purpose of the present study was to sequence the bovine homologue of TRPV3 (bTRPV3), localize the protein in ruminal tissue, and confirm transport of NH4+. After sequencing, bTRPV3 was overexpressed in HEK-293 cells and Xenopus oocytes. An antibody was selected via epitope screening and used to detect the protein in immunoblots of overexpressing cells and bovine rumen, revealing a signal of the predicted ~ 90 kDa. In rumen only, an additional ~ 60 kDa band appeared, which may represent a previously described bTRPV3 splice variant of equal length. Immunohistochemistry revealed staining from the ruminal stratum basale to stratum granulosum. Measurements with pH-sensitive microelectrodes showed that NH4+ acidifies Xenopus oocytes, with overexpression of bTRPV3 enhancing permeability to NH4+. Single-channel measurements revealed that Xenopus oocytes endogenously expressed small cation channels in addition to fourfold-larger channels only observed after expression of bTRPV3. Both endogenous and bTRPV3 channels conducted NH4+, Na+, and K+. We conclude that bTRPV3 is expressed by the ruminal epithelium on the protein level. In conjunction with data from previous studies, a role in the transport of Na+, Ca2+, and NH4+ emerges. Consequences for calcium homeostasis, ruminal pH, and nitrogen efficiency in cattle are discussed.

description: The NA62 experiment reports an investigation of the $K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν$ mode from a sample of $K^+$ decays collected in 2017 at the CERN SPS. The experiment has achieved a single event sensitivity of $(0.389\pm 0.024)\times10^{-10}$, corresponding to 2.2 events assuming the Standard Model branching ratio of $(8.4\pm1.0)\times10^{-11}$. Two signal candidates are observed with an expected background of 1.5 events. Combined with the result of a similar analysis conducted by NA62 on a smaller data set recorded in 2016, the collaboration now reports an upper limit of $1.78\times10^{-10}$ for the $K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν$ branching ratio at 90\%\,CL. This, together with the corresponding 68\%\,CL measurement of $(0.48^{+0.72 }_{-0.48})\times10^{-10}$, are currently the most precise results worldwide, and are able to constrain some New Physics models that predict large enhancements still allowed by previous measurements.

description: This paper identifies and empirically evaluates factors that explain the variations in consumers’ attitudes toward shopping at farmers markets in general and public markets in particular. The analysis draws on data from a telephone survey conducted in Jefferson County, Alabama. Logit model results point to several factors that seem to be strongly correlated with consumer purchasing behaviors and attitudes toward shopping at public markets, including income, education, age of household head, household size, and price and quality of produce. The insights gained from the study should help farmers increase the profitability of their operations and improve the likelihood that they will continue farming.

description: Produce departments are important to the profitability and competitiveness of grocery stores. Understanding how variables beyond price and seasonality impact the demand and ultimately sales for produce is vital. This study finds display size and the use of multiple displays to be the most powerful tools (after price) that produce managers have available to them, but only with the right products. Also, point-of-purchase signage is found to have limited impact. These findings are based on the estimation of a demand system of fruits with prices, advertising size and location, display size (including multiple displays), and product origin among the explanatory variables.

description: We explore here an scenario for massive black hole formation driven by stellar collisions in galactic nuclei, proposing a new formation regime of global instability in nuclear stellar clusters triggered by runaway stellar collisions. Using order of magnitude estimations, we show that observed nuclear stellar clusters avoid the regime where stellar collisions are dynamically relevant over the whole system, while resolved detections of massive black holes are well into such collision-dominated regime. We interpret this result in terms of massive black holes and nuclear stellar clusters being different evolutionary paths of a common formation mechanism, unified under the standard terminology of being both central massive objects. We propose a formation scenario where central massive objects more massive than $\rm \sim 10^8 \, Msun$, which also have relaxation times longer that their collision times, will be too dense (in virial equilibrium) to be globally stable against stellar collisions and most of its mass will collapse towards the formation of a massive black hole. Contrarily, this will only be the case at the core of less dense central massive objects leading to the formation of black holes with much lower black hole efficiencies $\rm ε_{BH} = \frac{M_{BH}}{M_{CMO}}$, with these efficiencies $\rm ε_{BH}$ drastically growing for central massive objects more massive than $\rm \sim 10^7 \, Msun$, approaching unity around $\rm M_{CMO} \sim 10^8 \, Msun$. We show that the proposed scenario successfully explains the relative trends observed in the masses, efficiencies, and scaling relations between massive black holes and nuclear stellar clusters.

description: We estimate price formation in the sweet cherry market using an inverse demand system with farm-level price and quantity data from states in the Pacific Northwest and California. Between 0.60 and 0.78 of the variation in annual cherry price is explained by the states’ production, domestic consumption, and exports. Washington and California prices are most responsive to their own quantity. Output flexibilities indicate that Oregon is responsive to a change in quantity supplied to the domestic market. Results also indicate that cherry price is most sensitive to quantity supplied to the export and domestic markets.

description: Extracting the bispectrum information from the large scale structure observations is challenging due to the complex models and the computational costs to measure the signal and its covariance. Recently, the skew spectrum was proposed to access parts of the bispectrum information with a more effective way and has been confirmed it can provide complementary information to that enclosed in the power spectrum measurements. In this work, we generalize the theory to apply the multitracer technique and explore its ability to constrain the local type primordial non-Gaussianity. Using the spectra and their covariance estimated from $N$-body simulations, we find the multitracer approach is effective to reduce the cosmic variance noise. The $1σ$ marginalized errors for $b_1^2A_s, n_s$ and $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc}$ are reduced by 50\%, 52\% and 73\% comparing with the results using only power spectrum obtained from a single tracer. It indicate that both the skew spectrum and the multitracer technique are useful to constrain the primordial non-Gaussianity with the forthcoming wide-field galaxy surveys.

Velocity Dispersion of 335 Galaxy Clusters Selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Statistical Evidence for Dynamical Interaction, and Against Ram-Pressure Stripping
Creators: name: Goto, Tomotsugu

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: There has been plenty of observational evidence of cluster galaxy evolution. However, it has been difficult to identify the origin of the cluster galaxy evolution. Here we show that gravitational interaction/friction between galaxies is the statistically dominant physical mechanism responsible for the cluster galaxy evolution, and that the well-favored ram-pressure stripping by the cluster gas is not statistically driving the cluster galaxy evolution. We have constructed the largest composite cluster with 14548 member galaxies out of 335 clusters with ~>300 km/s carefully selected from the SDSS. By measuring velocity dispersions of various subsamples of galaxies in this composite cluster, we found that bright cluster galaxies (Mz-23). We interpret this as direct evidence of the dynamical interaction/friction between cluster galaxies, where massive galaxies lose their velocity through the energy equipartition during the dynamical interaction/friction with less massive galaxies. We also found that star-forming late-type galaxies have a larger velocity dispersion than passive late-type galaxies. This is inconsistent with the ram-pressure stripping model; since the ram-pressure is proportional to sigma v^2 (i.e., stronger for galaxies with high velocity), the ram-pressure stripping cannot explain the observed trends of passive (evolved) galaxies having low velocity rather than high velocity. On the other hand, the result is again consistent with the dynamical galaxy-galaxy interaction/friction, where more evolved (passive) galaxies lose their velocity through dynamical interaction/friction.

description: The PADME experiment at the LNF Beam Test Facility searches for dark photons produced in the annihilation of positrons with the electrons of a fix target. The strategy is to look for the reaction $e^{+}+e^{-}\rightarrow γ+A'$, where $A'$ is the dark photon, which cannot be observed directly or via its decay products. The electromagnetic calorimeter plays a key role in the experiment by measuring the energy and position of the final-state $γ$. The missing four-momentum carried away by the $A'$ can be evaluated from this information and the particle mass inferred. This paper presents the design, construction, and calibration of the PADME's electromagnetic calorimeter. The results achieved in terms of equalisation, detection efficiency and energy resolution during the first phase of the experiment demonstrate the effectiveness of the various tools used to improve the calorimeter performance with respect to earlier prototypes.

description: Declining dairy cow populations in Georgia at a time when the human population is increasing lead to changes in the milk marketing system. A public policy initiative from state government to increase the number of large-scale dairies in Georgia has the potential to increase economic activity throughout the state. Total state output impact of a 1,000-head dairy farm in Georgia is $7.854 million, including $4.256 million in indirect economic activity. Although the agricultural sector receives the greatest benefits of dairy production, other sectors have significant sales and employment from milk production. Fluid milk manufacturing is an enterprise separate from production that has a state-level output impact of $9.844 million for a dairy farm with 1,000 milk cows. Results show there are economic development incentives for states to adopt public policies which can affect milk distribution and marketing in the Southeast.

description: The main purpose of this paper is to study and characterize the existing of general asymptotic regional gradient observer which observe the current gradient state of the original system in connection with gradient strategic sensors. Thus, we give an approach based to Luenberger observer theory of linear distributed parameter systems which is enabled to determinate asymptotically regional gradient estimator of current gradient system state. More precisely, under which condition the notion of asymptotic regional gradient observability can be achieved. Furthermore, we show that the measurement structures allows the existence of general asymptotic regional gradient observer and we give a sufficient condition for such asymptotic regional gradient observer in general case. We also show that, there exists a dynamical system for the considered system is not general asymptotic gradient observer in the usual sense, but it may be general asymptotic regional gradient observer. Then, for this purpose we present various results related to different types of sensor structures, domains and boundary conditions in two dimensional distributed diffusion systems

description: In this paper, we study the parallel query complexity of reconstructing biological and digital phylogenetic trees from simple queries involving their nodes. This is motivated from computational biology, data protection, and computer security settings, which can be abstracted in terms of two parties, a responder, Alice, who must correctly answer queries of a given type regarding a degree-d tree, T, and a querier, Bob, who issues batches of queries, with each query in a batch being independent of the others, so as to eventually infer the structure of T. We show that a querier can efficiently reconstruct an n-node degree-d tree, T, with a logarithmic number of rounds and quasilinear number of queries, with high probability, for various types of queries, including relative-distance queries and path queries. Our results are all asymptotically optimal and improve the asymptotic (sequential) query complexity for one of the problems we study. Moreover, through an experimental analysis using both real-world and synthetic data, we provide empirical evidence that our algorithms provide significant parallel speedups while also improving the total query complexities for the problems we study.

description: Recent bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, a.k.a. mad cow disease) discoveries in Canadian and U.S. beef cattle have garnered significant media attention, which may have changed consumers’ meat-purchasing behavior. Consumer response is hypothesized and tested within a meat demand system in which response is measured using single-period dummy variables, longer-term dummy variables, and media indices that count positive and negative meat-industry articles. Parameters are estimated using retail scanner data, and cross-species price elasticities are calculated. Results suggest that the BSE events negatively impacted ground beef and chuck roasts, while positively impacting center-cut pork chop demand. Dummy variables explained the variation in meat-budget shares better than did media indices.

description: Job satisfaction is likely the most studied work-related attitude and is assumed to influence a variety of behaviors. This study analyzes the job satisfaction of agricultural employees using Herzberg’s theory, which is broadly employed in management. Fourteen horticultural businesses participated in case studies of labor-management practices. Fifteen nonsupervisory employee interviews were analyzed regarding job satisfaction. Components of job satisfaction relevant to horticultural employees were family-business values, achievement, recognition, work itself, involvement, personal life, interpersonal relationships, job security, supervision, working conditions, organization, safety, compensation, and information. While support for Herzberg’s theory is weak, it is useful for classifying employees’ attitudes.

It aimed to enhance access to safe, legal, and affordable abortion services for young women, particularly those affected by domestic violence and unintended pregnancies. The project emphasized youth advocacy, community awareness, and the establishment of referral systems to promote safe abortion practices and post-abortion care. Key findings indicate that the project successfully mobilized over 3,550 community members and trained 40 youth peer educators, significantly increasing awareness and support for safe abortion rights. The collaboration with local government officials further ensured the sustainability of these efforts.

description: Magnetic and transport properties of $Co Sr_2 Y_{1-x} Ca_x Cu_2 O_7$ ($x=0 \sim 0.4$) system have been investigated. A broad maximum in M(T) curve, indicative of low-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering originated from $CoO_{1+δ}$ layers, is observed in Ca-free sample. With increasing Ca doping level up to 0.2, the M(T) curve remains almost unchanged, while resistivity is reduced by three orders. Higher Ca doping level leads to a drastic change of magnetic properties. In comparison with the samples with $x=0.0 \sim 0.2$, the temperature corresponding to the maximum of M(T) is much lowered for the sample $x$=0.3. The sample $x$=0.4 shows a small kink instead of a broad maximum and a weak ferromagnetic feature. The electrical transport behavior is found to be closely related to magnetic properties for the sample $x$=0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4. It suggests that $CoO_{1+δ}$ layers are involved in charge transport in addition to conducting $CuO_2$ planes to interpret the correlation between magnetism and charge transport. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies give an additional evidence of the the transfer of the holes into the $CoO_{1+δ}$ charge reservoir.

Integral therapeutic enactment
Creators: name: Foster, Durwin Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Attending to the author's experience as a point-of-departure, this thesis attempts an integration of methods for healing and development that have the potential to be powerfully complementary. Specifically, this thesis weaves together considerations of the Integral approach, therapeutic enactment, and contemplative practice in order to formulate an Integral Therapeutic Enactment (ITE) group-based counseling intervention. The paper introduces Wilber's Integral approach as both a set of social practices for investigation of any domain - a meta-paradigm - and a body of resulting generalizations. Several of these orienting generalizations are explored for their relevance to the therapeutic enactment group counseling process, including the role of dynamic dialectical awareness, implications of holarchical time, and the curative spiral as a model for human change processes. Implications of the Integral approach and contemplative practices are then incorporated into a prototype ITE process. Given the innovative and unconventional nature of the research process and results, the author pays particular attention to issues of validity and reflexivity. The paper concludes with a self-evaluation according to the - validity protocols put forward, and an outline of suggestions for outcome research to test the prototypical Integral Therapeutic Enactment group counselling process.
Modeling Tidal Streams in evolving dark matter halos

description: We explore whether stellar tidal streams can provide information on the secular, cosmological evolution of the Milky Way's gravitational potential and on the presence of subhalos. We carry out long-term (~t_hubble) N-body simulations of disrupting satellite galaxies in a semi-analytic Galaxy potential where the dark matter halo and the subhalos evolve according to a LCDM cosmogony. All simulations are constrained to end up with the same position and velocity at present. Our simulations account for: (i) the secular evolution of the host halo's mass, size and shape, (ii) the presence of subhalos and (iii) dynamical friction. We find that tidal stream particles respond adiabatically to the Galaxy growth so that, at present, the energy and angular momentum distribution is exclusively determined by the present Galaxy potential. In other words, all present-day observables can only constrain the present mass distribution of the Galaxy independent of its past evolution. We also show that, if the full phase-space distribution of a tidal stream is available, we can accurately determine (i) the present Galaxy's shape and (ii) the amount of mass loss from the stream's progenitor, even if this evolution spanned a cosmologically significant epoch.

description: In this paper, we tentatively assign $Z_{c}(3900)$ to be an axialvector molecular state, and calculate its magnetic moment using the QCD sum rule method in external weak electromagnetic field. Starting with the two-point correlation function in external electromagnetic field and expanding it in power of the electromagnetic interaction Hamiltonian, we extract the mass and pole residue of $Z_{c}(3900)$ state from the leading term in the expansion and the magnetic moment from the linear response to the external electromagnetic field. The numerical values are $m_{Z_{c}}=3.97\pm0.12\mbox{GeV}$ in agreement with the experimental value $m^{exp}_{Z_{c}}=3899.0\pm3.6\pm4.9\mbox{MeV}$, $λ_{Z_{c}}=2.1\pm0.4\times10^{-2}\mbox{GeV}^{5}$ and $μ_{Z_{c}}=0.19^{+0.04}_{-0.01}μ_{N}$.

description: Close to the quantum critical point of the transverse-field Ising spin-chain model, an exotic dynamic spectrum was predicted to emerge upon a perturbative longitudinal field. The dynamic spectrum consists of eight particles and is governed by the symmetry of the $E_8$ Lie algebra. Here we report on high-resolution terahertz spectroscopy of quantum spin dynamics in the ferromagnetic Ising-chain material CoNb$_2$O$_6$. At 0.25 K in the magnetically ordered phase we identify characteristics of the first six $E_8$ particles, $\mathbf{m}_1$ to $\mathbf{m}_6$, and the two-particle ($\mathbf{m}_1+\mathbf{m}_2$) continuum in an applied transverse magnetic field of $B_c^{1D}=4.75$ T, before the three-dimensional magnetic order is suppressed above $B_c^{3D}\approx 5.3$ T. The observation of the higher-energy particles ($\mathbf{m}_3$ to $\mathbf{m}_6$) above the low-energy two-particle continua features quantum many-body effects in the exotic dynamic spectrum.
