Unions, voter turnout, and class bias in the U.S. electorate, 1964-2004
Creators: name: Leighley, Jan
name: Nagler, Jonathan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This paper uses individual level data to examine the impact of unions on turnout and assesses the consequences of dramatic changes in union strength and in the composition of union membership since 1964 for the composition of the U.S. electorate. We first estimate individual-level models to test for the distinct effects of union membership and union strength on the probabilities of members and non-members voting, and then test whether the effect of individual union membership and overall union strength varies across income levels. We find that unions increase turnout of both members and non-members. By simulating what turnout would be were union membership at its 1964 level, we show that the decline in union membership since 1964 has affected the aggregate turnout of both low- and middle-income individuals more than the aggregate turnout of high-income individuals. However, while class bias has increased as a consequence of the decline, the change is surprisingly small.

description: We have studied the effects of capping ferromagnetic Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epilayers with a thin layer of undoped GaAs, and we find that even a few monolayers of GaAs have a significant effect on the ferromagnetic properties. In particular, the presence of a capping layer only 10 monolayers thick completely suppresses the enhancement of the ferromagnetism associated with low temperature annealing. This result, which demonstrates that the surface of a Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epilayer strongly affects the defect structure, has important implications for the incorporation of Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As into device heterostructures.

Perverse Romanticism : Aesthetics and Sexuality in Britain, 1750–1832
Creators: name: Sha, Richard
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Richard C. Sha’s revealing study considers how science shaped notions of sexuality, reproduction, and gender in the Romantic period. Through careful and imaginative readings of various scientific texts, the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and Longinus, and the works of such writers as William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Lord Byron, Sha explores the influence of contemporary aesthetics and biology on literary Romanticism. Revealing that ideas of sexuality during the Romantic era were much more fluid and undecided than they are often characterized in the existing scholarship, Sha’s innovative study complicates received claims concerning the shift from perversity to perversion in the nineteenth century. He observes that the questions of perversity—or purposelessness—became simultaneously critical in Kantian aesthetics, biological functionalism, and Romantic ideas of private and public sexuality. The Romantics, then, sought to reconceptualize sexual pleasure as deriving from mutuality rather than from the biological purpose of reproduction. At the nexus of Kantian aesthetics, literary analysis, and the history of medicine, Perverse Romanticism makes an important contribution to the study of sexuality in the long eighteenth century.

description: Head-mounted holographic displays (HMHD) are projected to be the first commercial realization of holographic video display systems. HMHDs use liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) spatial light modulators (SLM), which are best suited to display phase-only holograms (POH). The performance/watt requirement of a monochrome, 60 fps Full HD, 2-eye, POH HMHD system is about 10 TFLOPS/W, which is orders of magnitude higher than that is achievable by commercially available mobile processors. To mitigate this compute power constraint, display-ready POHs shall be generated on a nearby server and sent to the HMHD in compressed form over a wireless link. This paper discusses design of a feasible HMHD-based augmented reality system, focusing on compression requirements and per-pixel rate-distortion trade-off for transmission of display-ready POH from the server to HMHD. Since the decoder in the HMHD needs to operate on low power, only coding methods that have low-power decoder implementation are considered. Effects of 2D phase unwrapping and flat quantization on compression performance are also reported. We next propose a versatile PCM-POH codec with progressive quantization that can adapt to SLM-dynamic-range and available bitrate, and features per-pixel rate-distortion control to achieve acceptable POH quality at target rates of 60-200 Mbit/s that can be reliably achieved by current wireless technologies. Our results demonstrate feasibility of realizing a low-power, quality-ensured, multi-user, interactive HMHD augmented reality system with commercially available components using the proposed adaptive compression of display-ready POH with light-weight decoding.

Visible Sector Supersymmetry Breaking Revisited

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revisit the possibility of "visible sector" SUSY models: models which are straightforward renormalizable extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), where SUSY is broken at tree level. Models of this type were abandoned twenty years ago due to phenomenological problems, which we review. We then demonstrate that it is possible to construct simple phenomenologically viable visible sector SUSY models. Such models are indeed very constrained, and have some inelegant features. They also have interesting and distinctive phenomenology. Our models predict light gauginos and very heavy squarks and sleptons. The squarks and sleptons may not be observable at the LHC. The LSP is a stable very light gravitino with a significant Higgsino admixture. The NLSP is mostly Bino. The Higgs boson is naturally heavy. Proton decay is sufficently and naturally suppressed, even for a cutoff scale as low as 10^8 GeV. The lightest particle of the O'Raifeartaigh sector (the LOP) is stable, and is an interesting cold dark matter candidate.

description: People may express a variety of emotions after committing a transgression. Through six empirical studies and a meta-analysis, we investigate how the perceived authenticity of such emotional displays and resulting levels of trust are shaped by the transgressor's power. Past findings suggest that individuals with power tend to be more authentic, since they have more freedom to act based on their own personal inclinations. Yet, our findings reveal that: a) a transgressor’s display of emotion is perceived to be less authentic when that party’s power is high rather than low, b) this perception of emotional authenticity, in turn, directly influences (and mediates) the level of trust in that party, and c) perceivers ultimately exert less effort when asked to make a case for leniency toward high rather than low power transgressors. This tendency to discount the emotional authenticity of the powerful was found to arise from power increasing the transgressor’s perceived level of emotional control and strategic motivation, rather than a host of alternative mechanisms. These results were also found across different types of emotions (sadness, anger, fear, happiness, and neutral), expressive modalities, operationalizations of the transgression, and participant populations. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that besides the wealth of benefits power can afford, it also comes with a notable downside. It, furthermore, extends past research on perceived emotional authenticity, which has focused on how and when specific emotions are expressed, by revealing how this perception can depend on considerations that have nothing to do with the expression itself.
FOREST CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND OPTIMAL HARVESTING DECISION CONSIDERING SOUTHERN PINE BEETLE (SPB) DISTURBANCE: A REAL OPTION APPROACH

description: This study evaluates the forest management decision making of loblolly pine forest in the southern U.S. using the real option approach. The study incorporates three uncertainties that forest owners have faced including timber price volatility, forest carbon sequestration, and impacts of insect outbreaks into the real option model to investigate the relationship between such uncertainties and forest bare land value and tree rotation age. The results show that forest owners can face a mixed outcome of these uncertainties when they make forest management decisions, and the real option approach helps the forest managers consider future consequence through allowing the flexible harvest decision. Generally, a higher bare land value is generated if a flexible harvest decision making (real option) is allowed compared to a fixed harvest. The standing tree sequestrates CO2, and the forest’s role of carbon sequestration could generate extra value in the forest while insect outbreaks reduce the bare land value. The increasing social cost of carbon tends to call for increasing the bare land value of forest tree rotation age. Therefore, as climate change becomes more looming due to CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, the value of standing forests would increase due to enhancing opportunity cost of carbon sequestration in forests. Continuous efforts of pest management for forests are necessary since a higher insect risk tends to reduce the bare land value of forests. Also, employing marketable climate policy such as emissions trading is necessary to create a market carbon price and offset extra cost to keep the forest.

description: The present maize pricing policy and structural adjustments in agriculture do not adequately take into account market realities with respect to price sensitivity, interrelationships between maize and animal products and relative income shifts. The medium and long term outlook of the maize industry depends on the demand for animal products and not on a higher maize price. A lower maize price for livestock feeds will rather contribute towards higher net revenues for maize producers over the longer term. It will also benefit consumers in the form of cheaper animal products. Export and employment opportunities may result from this.

description: The discipline of sociology has much to contribute to critical public awareness of changing global landscapes. Exactly what we are able to contribute —and how useful those contributions might be— will depend on how we (re)conceptualize the discipline in relation to narratives of science. While many sociologists argue for anchoring our analytical frameworks more strongly and more consistently to the physical sciences, this article counters that, at the start of the 21st century, the discipline needs to move forward with the development of social epistemologies, not turn back toward older models of science. This article begins with examples of the limitations of current research paradigms and argues for the development and use of social epistemologies that break from the Cartesian paradigm. It then highlights the value of sociological studies of language for apprehending 21st century social complexities.

At half filling and low temperatures the stripes melt at a first order transition. In the doped system, the melting transitions of the smectic phase at high temperatures and the superfluid smectic (supersolid) phase at low temperatures are either very weakly first order, or of second order with no clear indications for an intermediate nematic phase.

description: The study examined the procedures and guidelines employed in the audit of public sector accounts in line with statutory and professional requirements. It also ascertained the extent to which accountability, effectiveness and efficiency of audit mechanism are being promoted in Bangladesh. Data were gathered through email survey to the staff of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (OCAG), the Supreme Audit Institution of Bangladesh is responsible for auditing government receipts and public spending and to ascertain whether expenditures have yielded value for money in government offices, public bodies and statutory organizations, on the problems facing the audit and accountability system. Cross tabulations and Chi-square were used to analyze the data. The study revealed that the internal control systems in Bangladesh are very weak; audit procedures and accountability are as well ineffective due to political interference and lack of skills of some auditing staff. Based on the findings, an effective internal control system free from interference is needed. There is also the need for upgrading the skills of auditing personnel and also strict adherence to statutory and professional standards. Some of these changes require political will at Government level.

The most important implication is that within the multicultural context of staff management on farms in the RSA. the auditing technique of Armstrong and Lloyd should be used in conjunction with a comprehensive management model. The Likert type staff management auditing technique of Armstrong and Lloyd was described and evaluated. The conclusion was reached that the Likert type staff management audit can be used in the agricultural situations of developed as well as developing countries. Finally, the structure and procedure of the audit, as well as the framework for the analysis of the staff audit data, were adapted for testing on unschooled and semi-literate workers in farming situations in the R.S.A.

description: Internet of things (IoT) produces massive data from devices embedded with sensors. The IoT data allows creating profitable services using machine learning. However, previous research does not address the problem of optimal pricing and bundling of machine learning-based IoT services. In this paper, we define the data value and service quality from a machine learning perspective. We present an IoT market model which consists of data vendors selling data to service providers, and service providers offering IoT services to customers. Then, we introduce optimal pricing schemes for the standalone and bundled selling of IoT services. In standalone service sales, the service provider optimizes the size of bought data and service subscription fee to maximize its profit. For service bundles, the subscription fee and data sizes of the grouped IoT services are optimized to maximize the total profit of cooperative service providers. We show that bundling IoT services maximizes the profit of service providers compared to the standalone selling. For profit sharing of bundled services, we apply the concepts of core and Shapley solutions from cooperative game theory as efficient and fair allocations of payoffs among the cooperative service providers in the bundling coalition.

description: Direct marketing of farm produce through farm stalls is a highly discussed subject among urban and agricultural geographers in Europe and North America. This practice results from the farmer's evaluation of marketing opportunities presented by urban sprawl within the rural-urban fringe. In South Africa, however, this spatial interaction phenomenon between the agricultural sector and the urban structure has not received much research attention. The purpose of this study is to determine the structure of the management system and entrepreneurship with respect to farm stalls in the South Western Cape, to determine the spatio-temporal diffusion as well as the influencing factors on the location of farm stalls, to identify certain characteristic product features as well as the behavioral patterns of the customers, and to assess the role of farm shops against an economic, tourism and aesthetic backdrop. Data has been analysed cartographically and correlation techniques were performed to reveal spatial trends and relationships between the relevant variables.

description: Building structures with hierarchical order through the self-assembly of smaller blocks is not only a prerogative of nature, but also a strategy to design artificial materials with tailored functions. We explore in simulation the spontaneous assembly of colloidal particles into extended structures, using spheres and size-asymmetric dimers as solute particles, while treating the solvent implicitly. Besides rigid cores for all particles, we assume an effective short-range attraction between spheres and small monomers to promote, through elementary rules, dimer-mediated aggregation of spheres. Starting from a completely disordered configuration, we follow the evolution of the system at low temperature and density, as a function of the relative concentration of the two species. When spheres and large monomers are of same size, we observe the onset of elongated aggregates of spheres, either disconnected or cross-linked, and a crystalline bilayer. As spheres grow bigger, the self-assembling scenario changes, getting richer overall, with the addition of flexible membrane sheets with crystalline order and monolayer vesicles. With this wide assortment of structures, our model can serve as a viable template to achieve a better control of self-assembly in dilute suspensions of microsized particles.

description: The ultimate goal of UBC Food System Project is to improve the sustainability of the food system at UBC. Our team’s specific task was to research how seasonal and local produce can be incorporated into university food provider menus. This must be done without compromising taste, nutritional quality and affordability of the menu items, or the economic viability of the businesses associated. In order to achieve this task we felt it necessary to set guidelines, one of which was to define the local food system to be within an eight hundred kilometer radius of the food provider. Our group decided to focus on Bernoulli’s Bagels as our model food outlet for this project and based most of the seasonal produce substitutions on UBC Farm products. To achieve our task successfully, we obtained relevant information from Bernoulli’s Bagels and UBC Farm. Based on the information gathered, we incorporated UBC farm produce into Bernoulli’s current menu and developed seasonal specials from the Farm, using recipes we created. We also felt that increasing the level of awareness about the food system as well as the willingness to consume more locally produced products was an important component for the project’s success. Therefore, we attempted to address the need for increased awareness on campus through menus, promotional pieces and word of mouth. Finally, to fill in some of the gaps we uncovered, we included recommendations for next year’s AGSC 450 class and for our fellow collaborators.

An estimate of the effect of waiting time in the Danish asylum system on post-resettlement employment among refugees : Separating the pure delay effect from the effects of the conditions under which refugees are waiting : Separating the pure delay effect from the effects of the conditions under which refugees are waiting

description: We provide an estimate of the effect of refugees’ length of waiting time in the Danish asylum system on their subsequent employment using administrative data. In contrast to previous studies, we take into account that refugees’ labor market integration is delayed since their labor market access is restricted during the asylum-seeking phase. We find that an additional year of waiting time decreases subsequent employment by 3.2 percentage points on average. This effect is mostly driven by the delay in the labor market engagement among refugees. Waiting time may have an effect on subsequent employment that is additional to the delay effect, and this could be either positive or negative depending on the nature of the conditions under which asylum seekers live while waiting for their cases to be processed. We find that this additional effect is positive and statistically significant until observable individual characteristics are included, at which point it becomes small in magnitude and no longer significant.

description: В данной статье проанализированы возможности идентификации факторов риска с помощью SWOT-анализа. Это позволило авторам оценить как условия изменяющейся макро- и микросреды предприятий, так и выявить их слабые стороны в целях обеспечения экономической безопасности. Объектами SWOT-анализа выбраны предприятия ООО «ХАРМС» и АО «Сорбент», работающие в одной отрасли - химической промышленности, но различные по размеру и доле рынка. В результате выявлены потенциальные угрозы для обоих предприятий и предложены пути их устранения. Повышение конкурентоспособности и усиление позиций экономической безопасности исследуемых предприятий может быть обеспечено за счет использования современных экологически ориентированных технологий для производства востребованных рынком видов продукции.

description: The ultimate goal of the UBC Food Systems Project is to increase the sustainability of the university food system. One step towards achieving this goal involves re-localization of our foodstuffs. Consequently, our task in 2006 was to develop a survey to assess the desirability and feasibility of re-localization on campus along with current purchasing behaviors, and to further determine willingness to purchase foods produced by socially and ecologically conscious producers. This survey has been built upon a foundation provided by our colleagues over the past several years and finalized through integration of information provided through a pilot test made up of both a class and a field survey. Further, funding, incentives and survey implementation have been organized to ensure success. Collectively, the resulting survey can be implemented in the fall of 2006, through either student distribution or a web based survey, to provide statistically relevant results to our partners in food services on campus to move towards a more sustainable food system here at UBC.

Tunable Magnetic Relaxation In Magnetic Nanoparticles

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We investigate the magnetization dynamics of a conducting magnetic nanoparticle weakly coupled to source and drain electrodes, under the assumption that all relaxation comes from exchange of electrons with the electrodes. The magnetization dynamics is characterized by a relaxation time $t_1$, which strongly depends on temperature, bias voltage, and gate voltage. While a direct measure of a nanoparticle magnetization might be difficult, we find that $t_1$ can be determined through a time resolved transport measurement. For a suitable choice of gate voltage and bias voltage, the magnetization performs a bias-driven Brownian motion regardless of the presence of anisotropy.

description: В статье рассмотрен опыт развития деятельности европейских бюджетных авиакомпаний. Оценен их вклад в развитие маршрутной сети региональных аэропортов Франции. Выделены ключевые особенности французского авиарынка. Это высокий уровень развития конкуренции, сильное влияние бюджетных авиаперевозчиков на маршрутную сеть региональных аэропортов, высокий показатель их пассажиропотока, разветвленная региональная и международная маршрутная сеть авиаперевозчиков. Расширение сотрудничества региональных аэропортов с бюджетными авиакомпаниями может стать для российских авиакомпаний ключевым фактором увеличения пассажиропотока в современных условиях и эффективным способом посткризисного восстановления российского рынка пассажирских авиаперевозок. Для этого необходимо развитие региональных аэропортов Российской Федерации.
