Kepler-18b, c, and d: a system of three planets confirmed by transit timing variations, light curve validation, warm-spitzer photometry, and radial velocity measurements* - Cochran, William D.; Fabrycky, Daniel C.; Torres, Guillermo; Fressin, Francois; Désert, Jean-Michel; Ragozzine, Darin; Sasselov, Dimitar; Fortney, Jonathan J.; Rowe, Jason F.; Brugamyer, Erik; Bryson, Stephen T.; Carter, Joshua A.; et al. (Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2011)
We report the detection of three transiting planets around a Sun-like star, which we designate Kepler-18. The transit signals were detected in photometric data from the Kepler satellite, and were confirmed to arise from planets using a combination of large transit-timing variations (TTVs), radial velocity variations, Warm-Spitzer observations, and statistical analysis of false-positive probabilities. The Kepler-18 star has a mass of 0.97 M ⊙, a radius of 1.1 R ⊙, an effective temperature of 5345K, and an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = +0.19. The planets have orbital periods of approximately 3.5, 7.6, and 14.9 days. The innermost planet "b" is a "super-Earth" with a mass of 6.9 ± 3.4 M ⊕, a radius of 2.00 ± 0.10 R ⊕, and a mean density of 4.9 ± 2.4gcm3. The two outer planets "c" and "d" are both low-density Neptune-mass planets. Kepler-18c has a mass of 17.3 ± 1.9 M ⊕, a radius of 5.49 ± 0.26 R ⊕, and a mean density of 0.59 0.07gcm 3, while Kepler-18d has a mass of 16.4 ± 1.4 M ⊕, a radius of 6.98 ± 0.33 R ⊕ and a mean density of 0.27 ± 0.03gcm3. Kepler-18c and Kepler-18d have orbital periods near a 2:1 mean-motion resonance, leading to large and readily detected TTVs. © 2011. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.

Origin of 90° domain wall pinning in Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 heteroepitaxial thin films - Su, Dong; Meng, Qingping; Vaz, Carlos A. F.; Han, Myung-Geun; Segal, Y.; Walker, Fred; Sawicki, Monica; Broadbridge, Christine; Ahn, Chong H. (Applied Physics Letters, 2011)
We describe a transmission-electron-microscopy study of the ferroelectric domains in an epitaxial Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) film grown on La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrTiO 3(001). We directly observe the pinning of 90 domain walls by pairs of misfit dislocations, respectively, with Burgers vectors a [100] and a [001]. Model calculations based on the elastic theory confirm our finding that, in addition to the depolarization field surrounding the dislocation, the strain field of misfit dislocation-pairs plays the primary role in the formation and pinning of a domains. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.

Observations of binary stars with the differential speckle survey instrument. III. measures below the diffraction limit of the WIYN telescope - Horch, Elliott P.; van Altena, William F.; Howell, Steve B.; Sherry, William Henry; Ciardi, David R. (The Astronomical Journal, 2011)
In this paper, we study the ability of CCD- and electron-multiplying-CCD- based speckle imaging to obtain reliable astrometry and photometry of binary stars below the diffraction limit of the WIYN 3.5 m Telescope. We present a total of 120 measures of binary stars, 75 of which are below the diffraction limit. The measures are divided into two groups that have different measurement accuracy and precision. The first group is composed of standard speckle observations, that is, a sequence of speckle images taken in a single filter, while the second group consists of paired observations where the two observations are taken on the same observing run and in different filters. The more recent paired observations were taken simultaneously with the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument, which is a two-channel speckle imaging system. In comparing our results to the ephemeris positions of binaries with known orbits, we find that paired observations provide the opportunity to identify cases of systematic error in separation below the diffraction limit and after removing these from consideration, we obtain a linear measurement uncertainty of 3-4 mas. However, if observations are unpaired or if two observations taken in the same filter are paired, it becomes harder to identify cases of systematic error, presumably because the largest source of this error is residual atmospheric dispersion, which is color dependent. When observations are unpaired, we find that it is unwise to report separations below approximately 20 mas, as these are most susceptible to this effect. Using the final results obtained, we are able to update two older orbits in the literature and present preliminary orbits for three systems that were discovered by Hipparcos. © 2011.

Observations of Binary Stars with the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument. II. Hipparcos Stars Observed in 2010 January and June - Horch, Elliott P.; Gomez, Shamilia C.; Sherry, William Henry; Howell, Steve B.; Ciardi, David R.; Anderson, Lisa M.; van Altena, William F. (The Astronomical Journal, 2011)
The results of 497 speckle observations of Hipparcos stars and selected other targets are presented. Of these, 367 were resolved into components and 130 were unresolved. The data were obtained using the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument at the WIYN 3.5 m Telescope. (The WIYN Observatory is a joint facility of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Indiana University, YaleUniversity, and theNational Optical AstronomyObservatories.) Since the first paper in this series, the instrument has been upgraded so that it now uses two electron-multiplying CCD cameras. The measurement precision obtained when comparing to ephemeris positions of binaries with very well known orbits is approximately 1-2 mas in separation and better than 0.̊ 6 in position angle. Differential photometry is found to be in very good agreement with Hipparcos measures in cases where the comparison is most relevant. We derive preliminary orbits for two systems. © 2011.

Characteristics of kepler planetary candidates based on the first data set - Borucki, William J.; Koch, David G.; Basri, Gibor; Batalha, Natalie M.; Boss, Alan P.; Brown, Timothy M.; Caldwell, Douglas A.; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Jørgen; Cochran, William D.; DeVore, Edna; Dunham, Edward W.; Dupree, Andrea K.; et al. (The Astrophysical Journal, 2011)
In the spring of 2009, the Kepler Mission commenced high-precision photometry on nearly 156,000 stars to determine the frequency and characteristics of small exoplanets, conduct a guest observer program, and obtain asteroseismic data on a wide variety of stars. On 2010 June 15, the Kepler Mission released most of the data from the first quarter of observations. At the time of this data release, 705 stars from this first data set have exoplanet candidates with sizes from as small as that of Earth to larger than that of Jupiter. Here we give the identity and characteristics of 305 released stars with planetary candidates. Data for the remaining 400 stars with planetary candidates will be released in 2011 February. More than half the candidates on the released list have radii less than half that of Jupiter. Five candidates are present in and near the habitable zone; two near super-Earth size, and three bracketing the size of Jupiter. The released stars also include five possible multi-planet systems. One of these has two Neptune-size (2.3 and 2.5 Earth radius) candidates with near-resonant periods. © 2011. The American Astronomical Society.

Characteristics of planetary candidates observed by Kepler II : Analysis of the first four months of data - Borucki, William J.; Koch, David G.; Basri, Gibor; Batalha, Natalie M.; Brown, Timothy M.; Bryson, Stephen T.; Caldwell, Douglas A.; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Jørgen; Cochran, William D.; DeVore, Edna; Dunham, Edward W.; Gautier, Thomas N.; et al. (The Astrophysical Journal, 2011)
On 2011 February 1 the Kepler mission released data for 156,453 stars observed from the beginning of the science observations on 2009 May 2 through September 16. There are 1235 planetary candidates with transit-like signatures detected in this period. These are associated with 997 host stars. Distributions of the characteristics of the planetary candidates are separated into five class sizes: 68 candidates of approximately Earth-size (Rp < 1.25 R⊕), 288 super-Earth-size (1.25 R⊕ ≤ R p < 2 R⊕), 662 Neptune-size (2 R ⊕ ≤ Rp < 6 R⊕), 165 Jupiter-size (6 R⊕ ≤ Rp < 15 R ⊕), and 19 up to twice the size of Jupiter (15 R ⊕ ≤ Rp < 22 R⊕). In the temperature range appropriate for the habitable zone, 54 candidates are found with sizes ranging from Earth-size to larger than that of Jupiter. Six are less than twice the size of the Earth. Over 74% of the planetary candidates are smaller than Neptune. The observed number versus size distribution of planetary candidates increases to a peak at two to three times the Earth-size and then declines inversely proportional to the area of the candidate. Our current best estimates of the intrinsic frequencies of planetary candidates, after correcting for geometric and sensitivity biases, are 5% for Earth-size candidates, 8% for super-Earth-size candidates, 18% for Neptune-size candidates, 2% for Jupiter-size candidates, and 0.1% for very large candidates; a total of 0.34 candidates per star. Multi-candidate, transiting systems are frequent; 17% of the host stars have multi-candidate systems, and 34% of all the candidates are part of multi-candidate systems. © 2011.

Kepler-14b: A Massive Hot Jupiter Transiting an F Star in a Close Visual Binary - Buchhave, Lars A; Latham, David W; Carter, Joshua A; Desert, J M; Torres, Guillermo; Adams, Elisabeth R; Bryson, Stephen T; Charbonneau, David; Ciardi, David R; Kulesa, Craig; Dupree, Andrea K; Fischer, Debra A; et al. (Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2011)
We present the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual (03 sky projected angular separation) binary system. The dilution of the host star's light by the nearly equalmagnitude stellar companion (∼0.5mag fainter) significantly affects the derived planetary parameters, and if left uncorrected, leads to an underestimate of the radius and mass of the planet by 10% and 60%, respectively. Other published exoplanets, which have not been observed with high-resolution imaging, could similarly have unresolved stellar companions and thus have incorrectly derived planetary parameters. Kepler-14b (KOI-98) has a period of P = 6.790 days and, correcting for the dilution, has a mass of Mp = 8.40+0.35 -0.34 M J and a radius of Rp = 1.136+0.073-0.054 R J, yielding a mean density of ρp = 7.1 ± 1.1 g cm-3. © 2011.

Kepler-15b: A hot jupiter enriched in heavy elements and the first kepler mission planet confirmed with the hobby-eberly telescope - Endl, Michael; Macqueen, Phillip J; Cochran, William D; Brugamyer, Erik; Buchhave, Lars A; Rowe, Jason F; Lucas, P W; Isaacson, Howard; Bryson, Steve; Howell, Steve B; Fortney, Jonathan J; Hansen, Terese; et al. (Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2011)
We report the discovery of Kepler-15b (KOI-128), a new transiting exoplanet detected by NASA's Kepler mission. The transit signal with a period of 4.94days was detected in the quarter 1 (Q1) Kepler photometry. For the first time, we have used the High Resolution Spectrograph (HRS) at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) to determine the mass of a Kepler planet via precise radial velocity (RV) measurements. The 24 HET/HRS RVs and 6 additional measurements from the Fibre-fed chelle Spectrograph spectrograph at the Nordic Optical Telescope reveal a Doppler signal with the same period and phase as the transit ephemeris. We used one HET/HRS spectrum of Kepler-15 taken without the iodine cell to determine accurate stellar parameters. The host star is a metal-rich ([Fe/H]= 0.36 ± 0.07) G-type main-sequence star with Teff = 5515 ± 124 K. The semi-amplitude K of the RV orbit is 78.7+8.5 -9.5ms-1, which yields a planet mass of 0.66 ± 0.1 M Jup. The planet has a radius of 0.96 ± 0.06R Jup and a mean bulk density of 0.9 ± 0.2 gcm-3. The radius of Kepler-15b is smaller than the majority of transiting planets with similar mass and irradiation level. This suggests that the planet is more enriched in heavy elements than most other transiting giant planets. For Kepler-15b we estimate a heavy element mass of 30-40 M ⊕. © 2011.

Speckle camera observations for the NASA kepler mission follow-up program - Howell, Steve B; Everett, Mark E; Sherry, William Henry; Horch, Elliott P; Ciardi, David R (The Astronomical Journal, 2011)
We present the first results from a speckle imaging survey of stars classified as candidate exoplanet host stars discovered by the Kepler mission. We use speckle imaging to search for faint companions or closely aligned background stars that could contribute flux to the Kepler light curves of their brighter neighbors. Background stars are expected to contribute significantly to the pool of false positive candidate transiting exoplanets discovered by the Kepler mission, especially in the case that the faint neighbors are eclipsing binary stars. Here, we describe our Kepler follow-up observing program, the speckle imaging camera used, our data reduction, and astrometric and photometric performance. Kepler stars range from R = 8 to 16 and our observations attempt to provide background non-detection limits 5-6mag fainter and binary separations of ∼0.05-2.0 arcsec. We present data describing the relative brightness, separation, and position angles for secondary sources, as well as relative plate limits for non-detection of faint nearby stars around each of 156 target stars. Faint neighbors were found near 10 of the stars. © 2011. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.

The atomic structure and polarization of strained SrTiO3/Si - Kumah, Divine; Reiner, James W.; Segal, Y.; Kolpak, Alexie M.; Zhang, Zhizhi; Su, Dong; Zhu, Yimei; Sawicki, Monica; Broadbridge, Christine; Ahn, Chong H.; Walker, Fred (Applied Physics Letters, 2010)
For thin film devices based on coupling ferroelectric polarization to charge carriers in semiconductors, the role of the interface is critical. To elucidate this role, we use synchrotron x-ray diffraction to determine the interface structure of epitaxial SrTiO3 grown on the (001) surface of Si. The average displacement of the O octahedral sublattice relative to the Sr sublattice determines the film polarization and is measured to be about 0.05 nm toward the Si, with Ti off-center displacements 0.009 nm away from the substrate. Measurements of films with different boundary conditions on the top of the SrTiO3 show that the polarization at the SrTiO3 /Si interface is dominated by oxide-Si chemical interactions. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.

Kepler observations of three pre-launch exoplanet candidates: discovery of two eclipsing binaries and a new exoplanet - Howell, Steve Bruce; Rowe, Jason F.; Sherry, William; von Braun, Kaspar; Ciardi, David R.; Bryson, Stephen T.; Feldmeier, John J.; Horch, Elliott P.; van Belle, Gerard T. (The Astrophysical Journal, 2010)
Three transiting exoplanet candidate stars were discovered in a ground-based photometric survey prior to the launch of NASA's Kepler mission. Kepler observations of them were obtained during Quarter 1 of the Kepler mission. All three stars are faint by radial velocity follow-up standards, so we have examined these candidates with regard to eliminating false positives and providing high confidence exoplanet selection.We present a first attempt to exclude false positives for this set of faint stars without high-resolution radial velocity analysis. This method of exoplanet confirmation will form a large part of the Kepler mission follow-up for Jupiter-sized exoplanet candidates orbiting faint stars. Using the Kepler light curves and pixel data, as well as medium-resolution reconnaissance spectroscopy and speckle imaging, we find that two of our candidates are binary stars. One consists of a late-F star with an early M companion, while the other is a K0 star plus a late M-dwarf/brown dwarf in a 19 day elliptical orbit. The third candidate (BOKS-1) is an r = 15 G8V star hosting a newly discovered exoplanet with a radius of 1.12 RJupiter in a 3.9 day orbit. © 2010 The American Astronomical Society.

Kepler Planet-Detection Mission: Introduction and First Results. - Borucki, William; Koch, David; Basri, Gibor; Batalha, Natalie; Brown, Timothy; Caldwell, Douglas; Caldwell, John; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Jorgen; Cochran, William; DeVore, Edna; Dunham, Edward; Dupree, Andrea; et al. (Science, 2010)
The Kepler mission was designed to determine the frequency of Earth-sized planets in and near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars. The habitable zone is the region where planetary temperatures are suitable for water to exist on a planet's surface. During the first 6 weeks of observations, Kepler monitored 156,000 stars, and five new exoplanets with sizes between 0.37 and 1.6 Jupiter radii and orbital periods from 3.2 to 4.9 days were discovered. The density of the Neptune-sized Kepler-4b is similar to that of Neptune and GJ 436b, even though the irradiation level is 800,000 times higher. Kepler-7b is one of the lowest-density planets (∼0.17 gram per cubic centimeter) yet detected. Kepler-5b, -6b, and -8b confirm the existence of planets with densities lower than those predicted for gas giant planets.

Valence electron energy-loss spectroscopy of ultrathin SrTiO3 films grown on silicon (100) single crystal - Su, Dong; Yang, Bo; Jiang, Nan; Sawicki, Monica; Broadbridge, Christine; Couillard, M; Reiner, James W; Walker, Fred; Ahn, C H; Zhu, Yimei (Applied Physics Letters, 2010)
Valence electron energy-loss spectroscopy is used to investigate the plasmon excitations of ultrathin SrTiO3 sandwiched between amorphous Si and crystalline Si. Two plasmon excitations were observed, one at 15.8 eV and the other at 28.7 eV. Our calculations, based on dielectric-function theory, suggest that the former peak originates from the coupling of the Si layers and is related to the geometry of the structure, and the latter peak results from the SrTiO3 bulk plasmon after a redshift. Our findings demonstrate the value of valence electron energy-loss spectroscopy in detecting a local change in the effective electron mass. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.

Determination of electronic structure of Oxide–Oxide interfaces by photoemission spectroscopy - Wang, Huiqiong; Altman, Eric I; Broadbridge, Christine; Zhu, Yimei; Henrich, Victor E (Advanced Materials, 2010)
A method has been developed to use the finite escape depth of the photoelectrons emitted in ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) to determine the electronic density-of-states at the interface between two dissimilar metal oxides. Ultrathin films of one oxide are grown heteroepitaxially, one monolayer at a time, on a single-crystal substrate of the other oxide, and UPS spectra are taken after each complete monolayer. By comparing experimental UPS spectra with calculated spectra based on specific models of the interfacial structure, the interfacial density-of-states can be extracted. The two oxide systems studied here are NiO-Fe 3O 4 and CoO-Fe 3O 4. The former system is found to have an atomically abrupt interface, with no significant density of interface states. For CoO, however, an interfacial electronic spectrum, different from that of either the substrate or the overlayer, is found. The spatial extent and possible origin of those interfacial states is discussed. © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &. Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

Computer ethics beyond mere compliance - Volkman, Richard (Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society, 2015)
Purpose – The paper aims to examine the nature of computer ethics as a field of study in light of 20 years of Ethicomp, arguing that computer ethics beyond mere compliance will have to be pluralistic and sensitive to the starting places of various audiences. Design/methodology/approach – The essay offers a philosophical rather than empirical analysis, but the ideal of open inquiry is observed to be manifest in the practice of Ethicomp. Findings – If computer ethics is to constitute a real engagement with industry and society that cultivates a genuine sensitivity to ethical concerns in the creation, development and implementation of technologies, a genuine sensitivity that stands in marked contrast to ethics as “mere compliance”, then computer ethics will have to persist in issuing an open invitation to inquiry. Originality/value – The celebration of 20 years of Ethicomp is an occasion to reflect on who we are and what we mean to be doing. Inclusive of previous accounts (e.g. Moor and Gotterbarn), while going beyond them, an inquiry-based conception of computer ethics makes room for all the various dimensions of computer ethics. ©Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Excellent online friendships: an Aristotelian defense of social media - Elder, Alexis (Ethics and Information Technology, 2014)
I defend social media's potential to support Aristotelian virtue friendship against a variety of objections. I begin with Aristotle's claim that the foundation of the best friendships is a shared life. Friends share the distinctively human and valuable components of their lives, especially reasoning together by sharing conversation and thoughts, and communal engagement in valued activities. Although some have charged that shared living is not possible between friends who interact through digital social media, I argue that social media preserves the relevantly human and valuable portions of life, especially reasoning, play, and exchange of ideas. I then consider several criticisms of social media's potential to host friendships, and refute or weaken the force of these objections, using this conception of a distinctively human shared life. I conclude that we should use the shared life to evaluate features of social media and norms for users' conduct.

On the possibility of quantum informational structural realism - Bynum, Terrell Ward (Minds and Machines, 2014)
In The Philosophy of Information, Luciano Floridi presents an ontological theory of Being qua Being, which he calls "Informational Structural Realism", a theory which applies, he says, to every possible world. He identifies primordial information ("dedomena") as the foundation of any structure in any possible world. The present essay examines Floridi's defense of that theory, as well as his refutation of "Digital Ontology" (which some people might confuse with his own). Then, using Floridi's ontology as a starting point, the present essay adds quantum features to dedomena, yielding an ontological theory for our own universe, Quantum Informational Structural Realism, which provides a metaphysical interpretation of key quantum phenomena, and diminishes the "weirdness" or "spookiness" of quantum mechanics. © 2013 The Author(s).

Zhuangzi on friendship and death - Elder, Alexis (Southern Journal of Philosophy, 2014)
Zhuangzi suggests that death is a transformation that we commonly and mistakenly think means the end of someone but really just marks a new phase of existence. This metaphysical thesis is presented at several points in the text as an explanation of distinctively Daoist responses to death and loss. Some (such as Wong 2006) take a Daoist response to death, as presented by Zhuangzi, to indicate dual perspectives on friendship and death. But I argue that the metaphysical view sketched above is consistent with a unified perspective, allowing the Daoist to enjoy deep friendships without risking some potential for grief typically associated with strong attachment. However, it leaves the Daoist best suited to friendships with those who endorse the same metaphysics. Furthermore, while the grief associated with the death of a friend is somewhat mitigated, the Daoist has reason to mourn even given this thesis. © 2014 The University of Memphis.

Situating the early schelling in the later positive philosophy - Harry, Chelsea C (Comparative and Continental Philosophy, 2014)
This is a translation of the second chapter of F.W.J. Schelling's Abhandlungen zur Erlaüterung des Idealismus der Wissenschaftslehre (1796-1797). It is preceded by a brief introduction in which I situate the chapter within Schelling's oeuvre and suggest that it is not only an early articulation of Schellingian Naturphilosophie, but also prescient, anticipating Schelling's later positive philosophy. © W.

Helping students to see for themselves that ethics matters - Jagger, Suzy; Volkman, Richard (The International Journal of Management Education, 2014)
Business ethics education is experiencing a renaissance as recurring corporate scandals and malpractice over the last decade have ensured that most universities now see the subject as an important and necessary component of any business degree course. As well as integrating professional ethics into their curriculum, Business Schools are also developing standalone ethics courses, showing that they take seriously their responsibility to help prepare the next generation of managers to improve business' track record of transparency, accountability and sustainable development. However what are the learning approaches that will help to bring about real improvements in business ethics learning at university? This paper argues that a holistic approach to ethics teaching is needed, in which students are encouraged to develop ethical knowledge and skills within their personal value systems. In this way ethics does not become something apart but integrated into one's terms of reference. The paper discusses a particular pedagogic approach designed to develop a student's 'critical consciousness' using a student-led learning method in which students actively engage with important concepts and discuss the issues amongst themselves within an environment where they can speak freely. Qualitative interviews with a selection of undergraduates on the compulsory first year professional ethics module provide insight into the impact of the method on attitudes and behaviours. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Creating the Journal Metaphilosophy - Bynum, Terrell Ward (Metaphilosophy, 2011)
This brief article describes the circumstances that led to the creation of the journal Metaphilosophy in autumn 1968. A year after I had left graduate school, an unfortunate accident left me flat on my back for several weeks with nothing to do while recuperating from eye surgery. Bored, I decided to do something constructive, so I created a scholarly journal devoted to articles about the nature of philosophy, or how the different schools or branches of philosophy relate to each other, or how philosophy relates to other disciplines. I made up the word "metaphilosophy" to describe such content, and I decided to call the journal by that name. With help from my wife, from my best friend, and from my undergraduate philosophy mentor, the journal Metaphilosophy was launched. © 2011 Metaphilosophy LLC and Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

Health, luck and moral fallacies of the second best - Cavallero, Eric (The Journal of Ethics, 2011)
Individuals who become ill as a result of personal lifestyle choices often shift the monetary costs of their healthcare needs to the taxpaying public or to fellow members of a private insurance pool. Some argue that policies permitting such cost shifting are unfair. Arguments for this view may seem to draw support from luck egalitarian accounts of distributive justice. This essay argues that the luck egalitarian framework provides no such support. To allocate healthcare costs on the basis of personal responsibility would arbitrarily and publicly burden socially detectable risk-takers while undetectable risk-takers continue to get a free ride. That problem is unavoidable even on the assumption that distributive institutions outside the healthcare sector are fully just. In actual, farfrom-just societies, imposing personal liability for the costs of voluntary risk taking would be wrong for an additional reason. Doing so would tend to magnify existing distributive injustices. These conclusions draw attention to two common 'moral fallacies of the second best' that can arise when applying ideal normative theory to matters of institutional design and in real-world policy contexts. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

Philosophy in the Information Age - Bynum, Terrell Ward (Metaphilosophy, 2010)
Abstract: In the past, major scientific and technological revolutions, like the Copernican Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, have had profound effects, not only upon society in general, but also upon Philosophy. Today's Information Revolution is no exception. Already it has had significant impacts upon our understanding of human nature, the nature of society, even the nature of the universe. Given these developments, this essay considers some of the philosophical contributions of two “philosophers of the Information Age”—Norbert Wiener and Luciano Floridi—with regard to the nature of the universe, human nature, the nature of society, and the nature of “artificial agents” such as robots, softbots, and cyborgs.

Commodification and privacy: a Lockean perspective. - Volkman, Richard (HEC forum : an interdisciplinary journal on hospitals' ethical and legal issues, 2010)
This paper defends the thesis that privacy as a right is derived from fundamental rights to life, liberty, and property and does not permit restricting the commodification of bodily material; however, privacy as life, liberty, property does require conventions that ensure a robust and just market in bodily material. The analysis proceeds by defending a general commitment to liberty and markets, but not in the manner one might expect from a 'doctrinaire' libertarian. Ethical concerns about commodification are legitimate in the context of new medical and information technologies, but these concerns are not sufficiently well defined to justify political conclusions, since not every ethical concern is in itself a political concern, and the best way to resolve certain ethical difficulties is to draw up political boundaries that facilitate the discovery and testing of various solutions to our ethical puzzles. To illustrate the point, I will indicate how privacy as life, liberty, property defines such a dynamic solution to the problems of commodification of human bodily material and slippery information in insurance markets.

Why information ethics must begin with virtue ethics - Volkman, Richard (Metaphilosophy, 2010)
The information ethics (IE) of Floridi and Sanders is evaluated here in the light of an alternative in virtue ethics that is antifoundationalist, particularist, and relativist in contrast to Floridi's foundationalist, impartialist, and universalist commitments. Drawing from disparate traditional sources like Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Emerson, as well as contemporary advocates of virtue ethics like Nussbaum, Foot, and Williams, the essay shows that the central contentions of IE, including especially the principle of ontological equality, must either express commitments grounded in the particular perspectives we already inhabit, or be without rational or ethical force for us. © 2010 Metaphilosophy LLC and Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

Gaming the system: developing an educational game for securing principles of arterial blood gases - Boyd, Cory Ann; Warren, Jonah; Glendon, Mary Ann (Journal of Professional Nursing, 2016)
This article describes the development process for creating a digital educational mini game prototype designed to provide practice opportunities for learning fundamental principles of arterial blood gases. Mini games generally take less than an hour to play and focus on specific subject matter. An interdisciplinary team of faculty from two universities mentored student game developers to design a digital educational mini game prototype. Sixteen accelerated bachelor of science in nursing students collaborated with game development students and playtested the game prototype during the last semester of their senior year in nursing school. Playtesting is a form of feedback that supports an iterative design process that is critical to game development. A 10-question survey was coupled with group discussions addressing five broad themes of an archetypical digital educational mini game to yield feedback on game design, play, and content. Four rounds of playtesting and incorporating feedback supported the iterative process. Accelerated bachelor of science in nursing student playtester feedback suggests that the digital educational mini game prototype has potential for offering an engaging, playful game experience that will support securing the fundamental principles of arterial blood gases. Next steps are to test the digital educational mini game for teaching and learning effectiveness. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Disclosure of errors and apology: law and ethics - Westrick, Susan J.; Jacob, Nyshi (JNP-Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 2016)
Error disclosure and apology are evolving concerns for advanced practice nurses who have increased exposure to liability. Error disclosure is required by regulatory agencies and the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses, yet barriers to disclosure exist and nurse practitioners may not be aware of state apology laws that protect some statements from use in civil lawsuits for negligence or malpractice. Two law cases that apply apology laws are reviewed to illustrate these protections. Best practices for error disclosure are presented, and nurse educators are urged to include error disclosure content in nurse practitioner curricula as part of safety and quality education.

Enhancing student nurse learning through participation in a community-based educational program for children and families - Krol, Maria; Resha, Cheryl; Glendon, Mary Ann (Journal of Community Health Nursing, 2016)
Health disparities, especially among minorities, persist; obesity is a national concern; and the combined effect can be significant for families and populations. In an effort to address obesity at an early age, the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN), developed the Muevete USA project. Muevete USA (from the Spanish verb for to move) features five lesson plans on healthy lifestyles for children and their families. This article describes Muevete USA, the partnership with a local school of nursing, the implementation of the program at the local level and the emerging program and student outcomes of a successful partnership.

Predictors of types of caregiver burden - Unson, Christine; Flynn, Deborah; Haymes, Elayne; Sancho, Diane; Glendon, Mary Ann (Social Work in Mental Health, 2016)
This study identified the types of caregiver stress and the caregiver and care management characteristics that are associated with this stress. 169 caregivers were recruited from a variety of community settings that cater to caregivers in a New England metropolitan area. They completed the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and a questionnaire concerning their care recipient and caregiving arrangements. Principal Components Analysis on the ZBI resulted in five factors: personal strain/loss, uncertainty/inadequacy, social strain/embarrassment, anger, and dependency. The average age of the caregiver was 59.95 years (SD = 11.75) and the average age of the CR was 83.44 years (SD = 7.88). Of the 169 caregivers, 82% were women, 61.5% daughters/in-law or wives (12.9%), 34.3% were solo caregivers; 16.8% little or no burden, 39.9% reported mild to moderate burden, 35% moderate to severe burden, and 8.4% had severe burden. Dependency (22.4%) and personal strain/loss (13.7%) had the highest proportions reported as “often” to “nearly always.” The ZBI was predicted by only two caregiver characteristics, indicating that it is not sensitive to the experiences of different types of caregivers. Caregivers experience different types of burden depending on their gender, kinship roles, and levels of involvement in the care of their older relative. Solo caregiver status and age (younger) significantly predicted most if not all 5 burden types. Solo and young caregivers experienced the highest levels of caregiver burden. Social work practice must identify the caregiver’s life stage and other and self-expectations in relation to dependency, personal loss, embarrassment, anger, or uncertainty. © 2016 Taylor & Francis.

Effectiveness of a role-modeling intervention on student nurse simulation competency - Aronson, Barbara; Glynn, Barbara; Squires, Timothy (Clinical Simulation in Nursing, 2013)
Novice nurses are often inadequately prepared to respond to complex, patient care situations where patients' conditions deteriorate. Exposure to a video-taped intervention that role-models and reinforces expected behavior of an expert nurse before participation in a simulation may improve student nurse performance in a cost-effective manner. The primary purpose of this quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test study was to assess the preliminary effectiveness of a theory based role-modeling intervention on enhancing student nurse competency in responding to a simulated response to rescue event. Performance was measured by a previously validated Heart Failure Simulation Competency Evaluation Tool (c) (HFSCET). Total mean scores on the HFSCET for the pre-test (59.08) and post-test (87.08) were significantly different (p = .000); students performed better on the post-test after exposure to the role-modeling intervention. A power analysis indicated a large effect size (effect size = .926; alpha = 0.50; power = 0.991). Students who had a greater number of days between the intervention and the post-test had a lower score. This innovative intervention based on established learning theory may change the way educators prepare novice students to achieve expected clinical competencies in graded simulation performance assessments.

Competency assessment in simulated response to rescue events - Aronson, Barbara; Glynn, Barbara; Squires, Timothy (Clinical Simulation in Nursing, 2012)
Background: Reliable and valid instruments are needed to assess patient safety competencies, specifically nursing students' ability to appropriately respond to simulated rescue events. Methods: This was an instrument development study conducted with 152 senior nursing students in 2 phases. Results: Student groups performed poorly during the simulation scenario, with mean scores on the Heart Failure Simulation Competency Evaluation Tool ranging from 46% to 56%. Interrater reliability increased to .839 after item revision during Phase 2 of the study. Discussion: This simulation competency assessment package is ready to be tested with more diverse student groups and novice nurses in the practice setting. © 2012 International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning.

Nurse practitioners in home health care: an update - Neal‐Boylan, Leslie; Mager, Diana; Kazer, Meredith Wallace (Home Health Care Management & Practice, 2012)
Nurse practitioners are playing an increasingly visible role in home care. The Institute of Medicine in collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recommends wider use of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses and there has been growing interest in using the role in home care.1 However, the physician remains the provider who must sign home health agency paperwork and orders. The "Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act" would allow nurse practitioners to certify Medicare-sponsored treatment plans.2 This article will discuss the status of the nurse practitioner role in home care, the impact of reimbursement on home care services, how the passage of the new act would change current practice, and a vision for the future role of the nurse practitioner in home health care. © 2012 SAGE Publications.

An exploration and comparison of the worklife experiences of registered nurses and physicians with permanent physical and/or sensory disabilities. - Neal-Boylan, Leslie (Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses, 2012)
PURPOSE: To examine the worklife experiences of physicians, to further the exploration of the worklife experiences of nurses with disabilities, and to discover how the two healthcare professions compare with each other with regard to these experiences., METHODS: This study employed the research tradition of interpretive naturalistic inquiry and used constant comparative analysis to collect and analyze the data., FINDINGS: Despite the cultural and educational differences between physicians and RNs, their experiences as healthcare professionals with self-identified permanent physical and/or sensory disabilities were very similar. The research team identified five core themes., CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare professionals, including staff and administrators, need to make an effort to retain employees as turnover and predicted shortages are likely to jeopardize the current healthcare system., CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Modifications can be made within both professions to support people with disabilities and to enable them to contribute to their professions using their abilities to think critically, solve problems, and care for patients safely.

The career trajectories of health care professionals practicing with permanent disabilities. - Neal-Boylan, Leslie; Hopkins, Amy; Skeete, Rachel; Hartmann, Sarah B; Iezzoni, Lisa I; Nunez-Smith, Marcella (Academic medicine : journal of the Association of American Medical Colleges, 2012)
PURPOSE: The authors sought to generate insights and hypotheses about the professional experiences of registered nurses and physicians with self-identified disabilities to inform local and national policy conversations on supporting a diverse health care workforce., METHOD: In 2009-2010, the authors conducted in-depth interviews in person and over the telephone with a sample of licensed registered nurses and physicians across the country who self-identified as having a permanent disability. They coded the interview transcripts to identify key themes across the participants' responses., RESULTS: The authors interviewed 10 registered nurses and 10 physicians. Five novel and consistent themes emerged from the data analysis: (1) Living and working with a physical/sensory disability narrows the career choices and trajectories of nurses and physicians, (2) nurses and physicians struggle with decisions regarding whether to disclose and discuss their disabilities at work, (3) nurses and physicians rarely seek legally guaranteed workplace accommodations, instead viewing patient safety as a personal responsibility, (4) interpersonal interactions often reflect the institutional climate and set the tone for how welcome nurses and physicians feel at work, and (5) reactions to workplace disability-related challenges run an emotional spectrum from anger and grief to resilience and optimism., CONCLUSIONS: The responses revealed several missed opportunities for supporting health care professionals with disabilities in the workplace. These findings should inform the continuing debate regarding what defines "reasonable accommodation" and how to create a workplace that is welcoming for nurses and physicians with disabilities.

Retired RNs: perceptions of volunteering - Cocca-Bates, Katherine C.; Neal-Boylan, Leslie (Geriatric Nursing, 2011)
A qualitative study was done to explore the perceptions of volunteering among retired registered nurses (RNs) in Kansas. Participants were volunteers in formal nursing roles or were using their nursing knowledge and experience in non-nursing roles, such as church work. Regardless of the type of volunteer position, retired RNs reported that they use what they have learned as nurses when they volunteer. Volunteering benefits include enhanced self-worth, intellectual stimulation, reduced social isolation, and opportunities to help others. Increased paperwork, new technology, difficulty finding nursing-specific volunteer opportunities, resistance from health care organizations, and a lack of respect for what these nurses know are challenges and barriers to volunteering. Retired RNs have accumulated years of clinical nursing experience and can be helpful to employed nurses. Health care organizations should launch targeted efforts to recruit and utilize retired RN volunteers. Health care professionals who care for older adults should recommend volunteering as a healthful endeavor. (Geriatr Nurs 2011;32:96-105)

Nurses with sensory disabilities: their perceptions and characteristics. - Neal-Boylan, Leslie; Fennie, Kristopher; Baldauf-Wagner, Sara (Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses, 2011)
A survey design was used to explore the perceptions and characteristics of registered nurses (RNs) with sensory disabilities and their risk for leaving their jobs. An earlier study found that nurses with disabilities are leaving nursing and that employers do not appear to support these nurses. Work instability and the mismatch between a nurse's perceptions of his or her ability and the demands of their work increase risk for job retention problems. This study's convenience sample of U.S. RNs had hearing, vision, or communication disabilities. Participants completed a demographic form, three U.S. Census questions, and the Nurse-Work Instability Survey. Hospital nurses were three times more likely to be at risk for retention problems. Nurses with hearing disabilities were frustrated at work. Hearing difficulties increased with years spent working as a nurse. Many nurses with sensory disabilities have left nursing. Early intervention may prevent work instability and increase retention, and rehabilitation nurses are ideally positioned to lead early intervention programs.

Dementia and Caregiver Stress: An Application of the Reconceptualized Uncertainty in Illness Theory. - Unson, Christine; Flynn, Deborah; Glendon, Mary Ann; Haymes, Elayne; Sancho, Diane (Issues in mental health nursing, 2015)
The Reconceptualized Uncertainty in Illness Theory (RUIT) was used to investigate antecedents to, appraisals of, and ways of coping with stressful caregiving. Four focus groups with caregivers (8 males and 16 females) of relatives with dementia were conducted; 15 cared for their parents and the remainder cared for their spouses. They were recruited from an adult care center and other community settings in a metropolitan area in New England. The discussions were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Two researchers independently coded the transcripts. Thematic analysis was structured according to the RUIT. The study is unique in its application to caregivers as opposed to patients and to all of the elements of the RUIT. Caregivers experience uncertainty in similar ways to patients with life-altering illness. Symptom severity–lack of personal boundaries, repetitive and aggressive behaviors, and the need for constant care–was the most frequent source of stress. The appraisals were mostly negative and included feelings of resentment, a lack of support from family members, financial strains, and loss of freedom. Self-improvement and self-care were important aspects of coping. Spirituality and humor were other coping skills that respondents used. Not all respondents said they were coping and some also reported that support from health care providers was not always helpful. Nurses can help improve coping by explaining the factors that contribute to caregiver strain and uncertainty, and by assisting caregivers to anticipate the effects of the caregiving role.

Coverage-based lossy node localization for wireless sensor networks - Bao, Forrest Sheng; Pang, Yulei; Zhou, Wujun; Jiang, Wu; Yang, Yinfei; Liu, Yang; Qian, Chen (IEEE Sensors Journal, 2016)
To ensure the function of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), nodes that fail to forward packets must be localized efficiently and then fixed or replaced promptly. The state-of-the-art work frames lossy node localization in WSNs as an optimal sequential testing problem guided by end-to-end data. It combines both the active and passive measurements to minimize the testing cost and the number of iterations. However, this hybrid approach has many limitations. Inspired by the success of coverage-based software debugging, and the similarity between software debugging and lossy node localization, we propose a coverage-based lossy node detection for WSNs. Supported by established statistic theories, this approach greatly boosts the performance. Experiments on randomly generated networks and deployed networks show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce testing cost and number of iterations, which are the two optimization goals of previous work. We expect to use this approach for other diagnostic problems in WSNs. © 2001-2012 IEEE.

On nontriangulable polyhedra - Bezdek, Andras; Carrigan, Braxton (Beiträge zur Algebra und Geometrie / Contributions to Algebra and Geometry, 2016)
Triangulations of 3-dimensional polyhedron are partitions of the polyhedron with tetrahedra in a face-to-face fashion without introducing new vertices. Schönhardt (Math. Ann. 89:309–312, 1927), Bagemihl (Amer. Math. Mon. 55:411–413, 1948), Kuperberg (Personal communication 2011) and others constructed special polyhedra in such a way that clever one line geometric reasons imply nontriangulability. Rambau (Comb. Comput. Geom. 52:501–516, 2005) proved that twisted prisms over n-gons are nontriangulable. Our approach for proving polyhedra are nontriangulable is to show that partitions with tetrahedra, which we call tilings, do not exist even if the face-to-face-restriction is relaxed. First we construct a polyhedron which is tileable but is not triangulable. Then we revisit Rambau type twisted prisms. In fact we consider a slightly different class of polyhedra, and prove that these new twisted prisms are nontileable, thus are nontriangulable. We also show that one can twist the regular dodecahedron so that it becomes nontileable, which is abstracted to a new family of nontileable polyhedra, called nonconvex twisted pentaprisms. © 2015, The Managing Editors.

Hilbert polynomials of j-transforms - Goto, Shiro; Hong, Jooyoun; Vasconcelos, Wolmer V (Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2016)
We study transformations of finite modules over Noetherian local rings that attach to a module M a graded module H(x)(M) defined via partial systems of parameters x of M. Despite the generality of the process, which are called j-transforms, in numerous cases they have interesting cohomological properties. We focus on deriving the Hilbert functions of j-transforms and studying the significance of the vanishing of some of its coefficients. Copyright © 2016 Cambridge Philosophical Society.

Characterization and comparison of injuries caused by accidental and non-accidental blunt force trauma in dogs and cats - Intarapanich, Nida P; Mccobb, Emily; Reisman, Robert W; Rozanski, Elizabeth A; Intarapanich, Pichai P (Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2016)
Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) are often difficult to distinguish from non-accidental injury (NAI). This retrospective case–control study compared animals with known MVA trauma against those with known NAI. Medical records of 426 dogs and cats treated after MVA and 50 after NAI were evaluated. Injuries significantly associated with MVA were pelvic fractures, pneumothorax, pulmonary contusion, abrasions, and degloving wounds. Injuries associated with NAI were fractures of the skull, teeth, vertebrae, and ribs, scleral hemorrhage, damage to claws, and evidence of older fractures. Odds ratios are reported for these injuries. MVA rib fractures were found to occur in clusters on one side of the body, with cranial ribs more likely to fracture, while NAI rib fractures were found to occur bilaterally with no cranial–caudal pattern. Establishing evidence-based patterns of injury may help clinicians differentiate causes of trauma and may aid in the documentation and prosecution of animal abuse. © 2016 American Academy of Forensic Sciences

How to guard orthogonal polygons: diagonal graphs and vertex covers - Michael, T S; Pinciu, Val (Discrete and Computational Geometry, 2016)
We extend and unify most known results about guarding orthogonal polygons by introducing the same-sign diagonal graphs of a convex quadrangulation and applying results about vertex covers for graphs. Our approach also yields new theorems and often guarantees two disjoint vertex guard sets of relatively small cardinality. For instance, an orthogonal polygon on n vertices has two disjoint vertex guard sets of cardinality at most (Formula presented.). We give new proofs of Aggarwal’s one-hole theorem and the orthogonal fortress theorem. We prove that an orthogonal polygon with n vertices and any number of holes can be protected by at most (Formula presented.) vertex guards, improving the best known bound of (Formula presented.). Also, an orthogonal polygon with n vertices and h holes can be protected by (Formula presented.) guarded guards, which is best possible when (Formula presented.). Moreover, for orthogonal fortresses with n vertices, (Formula presented.) guarded guards are always sufficient and sometimes necessary. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York (outside the USA).

The orthogonal art gallery theorem with constrained guards - Michael, T S; Pinciu, Val (Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2016)
Let P be an orthogonal polygon with n vertices, and let V⁎ and E⁎ be specified sets of vertices and edges of P. We prove that P has a guard set of cardinality at most ⌊(n+3|V⁎|+2|E⁎|)/4⌋ that includes each vertex in V⁎ and at least one point of each edge in E⁎. Our bound is sharp and reduces to the orthogonal art gallery theorem of Kahn, Klawe and Kleitman when V⁎ and E⁎ are empty. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

The chern numbers and euler characteristics of modules - Ghezzi, Laura; Goto, Shiro; Hong, Jooyoun; Ozeki, Kazuho; Phuong, Tran Thi; Vasconcelos, Wolmer V (Acta Mathematica Vietnamica, 2015)
The set of the first Hilbert coefficients of parameter ideals relative to a module—its Chern coefficients—over a local Noetherian ring codes for considerable information about its structure–noteworthy properties such as that of Cohen-Macaulayness, Buchsbaumness, and of having finitely generated local cohomology. The authors have previously studied the ring case. By developing a robust setting to treat these coefficients for unmixed rings and modules, the case of modules is analyzed in a more transparent manner. Another series of integers arise from partial Euler characteristics and are shown to carry similar properties of the module. The technology of homological degree theory is also introduced in order to derive bounds for these two sets of numbers. © 2014, Institute of Mathematics, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) and Springer Science+Business Media Singapore.

Guarding polyominoes, polycubes and polyhypercubes - Pinciu, Val (Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2015)
We consider variations of the original art gallery problem where the domain is a polyomino, a polycube, or a polyhypercube. An m-polyomino is the connected union of m unit squares called pixels, an m-polycube is the connected union of m unit cubes called voxels, and an m-polyhypercube is the connected union of m unit hypercubes in a d dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper we generalize and unify the known results about guarding polyominoes and polycubes and obtain simpler proofs. We also obtain new art gallery theorems for guarding polyhypercubes. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

A predator–prey interaction from micro to macro perspectives - Wang, Huaying; Pang, Yulei; Zhang, Luona; Martin, Clyde F (Nonlinear Dynamics, 2015)
This paper deals with predator–prey dynamics in individual and population perspectives. First, we build a discrete Markov model on predator–prey interactions in individual perspective. By shortening the time gap, from discrete time to continuous time, and increasing the number of individuals to infinity, a continuity equation on the predator–prey interactions is derived in a large population regime. Then, with the leading items of the continuity equation, that is the mean-field equation, following the approximate model, which entails qualitative analysis, we can obtain an asymptotically stable closed orbit or simply put, the parameter conditions where equilibrium point exists. These qualitative conclusions are the performance of individual microscopic interactions on macro-level groups, or can be treated as one component of microscopic models of various random statistical average results.This paper explored the accuracy and operability of the model constructed on individual level, which differs from traditional method, constructing population model directly via differential equations and difference equations. Therefore, by operating variables and data from individual behavior, it is probable for us to construct more accurate models for population dynamic. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht (outside the USA).

On the link between particle size and deviations from the Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law for direct transmission - Larsen, Michael L; Clark, Aaron S (Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer, 2014)
Ballistic photon models of radiative transfer in discrete absorbing random media have demonstrated deviations from the Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law of exponential attenuation. A number of theoretical constructs to quantify the deviation from the Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law have appeared in the literature, several of which rely principally on a statistical measure related to the statistics of the absorber spatial positions alone. Here, we utilize a simple computational model to explore the interplay between the geometric size of the absorbing obstacles and the statistics governing the placement of the absorbers in the volume. We find that a description of the volume that depends on particle size and the spatial statistics of absorbers is not sufficient to fully characterize deviations from the Beer-Lambert-Bouguer law. Implications for future further theoretical and computational explorations of the problem are explored. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Given their similar role as predictors of the Cohen-Macaulay property, we consider a direct comparison between them. For parameter ideals generated by d-sequences these numbers are related in an explicit formula.

The equations of almost complete intersections - Hong, Jooyoun; Simis, Aron; Vasconcelos, Wolmer V (Bulletin of the Brazilian Mathematical Society, New Series, 2012)
In this paper we inject four Hilbert functions in the determination of the defining equations of the Rees algebra of almost complete intersections of finite co-length. Because three of the corresponding modules are Artinian, some of these relationships are very effective, with the novel approach opening up tracks to the determination of the equations and also to processes of going from homologically defined sets of equations to higher degrees ones. While not specifically directed towards the extraction of elimination equations, it will show how some of these arise naturally. © 2012 Sociedade Brasileira de Matemática.

Efficient constant-velocity reconfiguration of crystalline robots** - Aloupis, Greg; Collette, S bastien; Damian, Mirela; Demaine, Erik D.; Flatland, Robin; Langerman, Stefan; O'Rourke, Joseph; Pinciu, Val; Ramaswami, Suneeta; Sacrist, Vera; Wuhrer, Stefanie (Robotica, 2011)
In this paper, we propose novel algorithms for reconfiguring modular robots that are composed of n atoms. Each atom has the shape of a unit cube and can expand/contract each face by half a unit, as well as attach to or detach from faces of neighboring atoms. For universal reconfiguration, atoms must be arranged in 2 × 2 × 2 modules. We respect certain physical constraints: each atom reaches at most constant velocity and can displace at most a constant number of other atoms. We assume that one of the atoms has access to the coordinates of atoms in the target configuration. Our algorithms involve a total of O(n2) atom operations, which are performed in O(n) parallel steps. This improves on previous reconfiguration algorithms, which either use O(n2) parallel steps or do not respect the constraints mentioned above. In fact, in the settings considered, our algorithms are optimal. A further advantage of our algorithms is that reconfiguration can take place within the union of the source and target configuration space, and only requires local communication. © 2011 Cambridge University Press.

The positivity of the first coefficients of normal Hilbert polynomials - Goto, Shiro; Hong, Jooyoun; Mandal, Mousumi (Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 2010)
Let R be an analytically unramified local ring with maximal ideal m and d = dimR > 0. If R is unmixed, then e1I (R) = 0 for every m-primary ideal I in R, where e1I (R) denotes the first coefficient of the normal Hilbert polynomial of R with respect to I. Thus the positivity conjecture on e1I(R) posed by Wolmer V. Vasconcelos is settled affirmatively. © 2010 American Mathematical Society.

Trends in alcohol consumption among undergraduate students at a northeastern public university, 2002-2008. - Bulmer, Sandra Minor; Irfan, Syed; Mugno, Raymond; Barton, Barbara; Ackerman, Louise (Journal of American college health : J of ACH, 2010)
OBJECTIVE: This study examined alcohol consumption patterns and trends at a public university in the Northeast from 2002 to 2008., PARTICIPANTS: Stratified random sampling was used to select undergraduate students enrolled in courses during spring semesters in 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008., METHODS: Data were collected during regularly scheduled classes for 4 measures of alcohol consumption and 5 demographic categories using the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey., RESULTS: Four groups showed significant increases in both frequency and volume of alcohol consumption-students who were female, over 21 years of age or over, living off-campus, or performing well academically. There were no decreasing trends for any demographic group. These results differ from national college health surveys, which have shown alcohol use remaining steady during this period., CONCLUSIONS: Campus-specific trend data can provide unique perspectives and guide programming efforts. These trends suggest a need for new intervention strategies on this campus.

Here, there and everywhere: a study of consumer centrism - Prince, Melvin; Davies, Mark; Cleveland, Mark; Palihawadana, Dayananda (International Marketing Review, 2016)
Purpose - A first objective is to add insight into how constructs of ethnocentrism, xenocentrism and cosmopolitanism relate to each other. Knowledge of how these constructs overlap or work together in affecting consumer preferences will offer global marketers insights for designing appropriate marketing strategies. The second objective is to extend this knowledge by examining the correspondence of these three constructs to a nomological network of dispositional concepts pertinent for product positioning and market segmentation. The third objective is to empirically examine the extent to which the measures, construct structure and associative relationships are robust in different national research settings. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach - Surveying British and American consumers, this study examines and analyzes the correspondence of these identity-relevant constructs within a nomological net of pertinent concepts: consciousness-of-kind, global consumption orientation, materialism and natural environment concern. Findings - The hypothesized negative links between CET-XEN and CET-COS, and the predicted positive connection between XEN-COS were all confirmed on the latent factor results for the combined data set. The negative correlation between CET-XEN was of a considerably lower magnitude than that for CET-COS. Originality/value - To date, no research has used an identity theory framework and simultaneously examined in a cross-cultural context the interrelationships of consumer ethnocentrism consumer xenocentrism and cosmopolitanism - and their differentiating linkages to a multiplicity of consumer dispositions.

An integrative framework of buyer-supplier negative relationship quality and dysfunctional interfirm conflict - Prince, Melvin; Palihawadana, Dayananda; Davies, Mark A. P.; Winsor, Robert D. (Journal of Business-to-business Marketing, 2016)
Purpose: Problems of relationship quality and interfirm conflict in business-to-business settings are serious concerns that need to be addressed. Thus, the authors have engaged in an extensive review to promote an understanding of these complex issues. This article develops an integrated framework for analyzing wide-ranging relations between individual representatives and patterns of interfirm incompatibility for managerial control.Methodology/approach: The review involves numerous sources that include articles and monographs. A theoretical framework is constructed to integrate fragmented empirical data. In particular, social identity and commitment-trust theories are mobilized for this framework.Findings: The review of studies has a substantial consistency with the theoretical framework. The article outlines a causal chain from interpersonal agent dissimilarities to dysfunctional buyer-supplier relations, culminating in interfirm pathological conflict. Moderating factors in the causal chain are: agent identity differentiation (for interpersonal dissimilarity), supplier relations mismanagement (for buyer-supplier relationship quality), and interfirm opportunism (for interfirm pathological conflict). Buyer-supplier interfirm incompatibility mediates the causal link between interpersonal dissimilarity and buyer-supplier relationship quality. Identity differentiation, the validation of one's self-image, is introduced as a process that determines buyer-supplier agent interpersonal dissimilarity judgments. This framework uses a contextual perspective. It describes interactions between observations of micro-level phenomena of interpersonal dissimilarities and macro-level models of interfirm fit. From a managerial perspective, interpersonal relations between individual buyer and supplier agents may be further strengthened by such strategies as expanding the scope of the interpersonal relationship, relaxation of role responsibilities, and volunteering business-related contact referrals.Originality/value: A new theoretical framework has been devised to predict and explain relationship quality and interfirm pathological conflict in the business-to-business context. The framework contributes to the value of the knowledge base by serving as a means for building new diagnostic tools for assessment of interfirm behavioral issues affecting exchanges. New concepts are introduced to enhance current literature on business-to-business marketing. The framework provides concreteindicators that operationally define ideas and enable or improve measurement for empirical modeling.

Knowledge and skills transfer between MBA and workplace - Prince, Melvin; Burns, David J; Lu, Xinyi; Winsor, Robert D (Journal of Workplace Learning, 2015)
Purpose-This paper aims to use goal-setting theory to explain the transfer of knowledge and skills between master of business administration (MBA) and the workplace. Design/methodology/approach-Data were obtained by an online survey of MBA students enrolled in at four US graduate business schools. These were a public and private institution in the Northeast region, a private sectarian institution in the Midwest region and a private institution in the Pacific region. All students worked while attending the university. The sampling frame consisted of each school’s MBA enrollees. Questionnaires were distributed to a random cross-section of part-time students at each graduate school of business representative of returned by 144 students. The profiles of responders were consistent with parameters for the entire MBA student population. Findings-The research shows that multiple goals of reciprocal knowledge and skills transfer may be in harmony and mutually reinforcing. In principle, each goal is more likely to be attained with greater economy of effort than might be surmised. Additionally, the same forces may act similarly to facilitate attainment of two well-integrated goals, in this case transfer betweenMBAstudies and work, as well as between work and MBA studies. Research limitations/implications-The present study involved participants from part-time public and private MBA granting institutions in the USA. The study tested and extended goal-setting theory and introduced the innovative concept of reciprocal transfer. Future studies should seek to generalize the findings to a broader population of part-time MBA students, especially from other nations. Despite its strengths, the findings of this study need to be interpreted in the perspective of some limitations. The current study did not measure transfer climates in either the organization or university settings. Transfer climates undoubtedly have an important bearing on transfer outcomes. Practical implications-Review of the present study suggests that a positive MBA environment is needed to influence motivation to learn and perceptions of the MBA program’s utility, thereby promoting transfer of knowledge and skills to MBA studies from the workplace. A supportive work-to-MBA-studies transfer climate will lead to more active learning of course content that has greater relevance for achieving career goals. Potentially generalizable from the organizational transfer climate literature (Rouiller and Goldstein 1990; Rouiller and Goldstein 1993), positive transfer from work to MBA studies will occur when appropriate situational cues and consequences are present in the program. Social implications-A constructive implication suggested by the findings of this study would be the intervention and transfer management by educators to structure and strengthen the university transfer climate of their part-time MBA programs. Traditionally, the concept of transfer climate has been primarily applied to employee workplace training activity and job performance. The university culture of the MBA student might emphasize and reward continuous learning from workplace experiences. Opportunities at the university should be provided for the exercise of newly acquired workplace skills that reinforce MBA learning experiences. Originality/value-This is the first study that shows how learning goals and performance goals are integrated in the context of a new concept, i.e. reciprocal transfer of knowledge and skills betweenMBA and workplace settings. It also demonstrates, for the first time, the impact of learning and motivation for MBAstudies and perceived utility ofMBAprogram on the extent of transfer of learning and skills from the workplace to the university setting. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

The effects of part-time MBA programs on students: the relationships between students and their employers - Prince, Melvin; Burns, David J; Manolis, Chris (The Journal of Education for Business, 2014)
The authors explore how the relationship between part-time master of business administration (MBA) students and their employers changes as students proceed through their MBA program by examining the degree to which students are integrated into their employer organizations. Significant positive relationships observed between students’ progress through their MBA program and the integration factors of coworker support and future prospects with their employers suggest that an MBA education can have a positive effect on employee–employer integration levels. Consequently, in addition to increasing business knowledge and skills, an MBA degree appears to assist with integrating employees and employers. © 2014, Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Use of comforting to enhance social marketing success A case study - Forbus, Robert; Snyder, Jason L (Social Marketing Quarterly, 2013)
Successful behavioral change is the Holy Grail for social marketers. Meta-analysis demonstrates that effect sizes of behavioral change in social marketing campaigns is typically low. The present case study uses 4 years of survey data from an Alabama weight loss and behavioral change campaign to develop an explanation for why some people are more successful in lifestyle change efforts than others. Comforting, a communicative form of prosocial behavior, produced the greatest magnitude of change when tested as an independent variable on dependent variables, including pounds lost, amount of dairy products and water consumed, and physical activities undertaken. The case study concludes by discussing implications for social marketing academics and practitioners. © The Author(s) 2013.

Attendance policies, student attendance, and instructor verbal aggressiveness - Snyder, Jason L; Forbus, Robert; Cistulli, Mark D (The Journal of Education for Business, 2012)
The authors utilized an experimental design across six sections of a managerial communications course (N = 173) to test the impact of instructor verbal aggressiveness and class attendance policies on student class attendance. The experimental group received a policy based on the principle of social proof (R. B. Cialdini, 2001), which indicated that for similar students, class attendance was linked to high academic performance. Students also assessed their instructor's level of verbal aggressiveness (D. A. Infante, 1979). Results suggest that instructor verbal aggressiveness did not influence class attendance. However, social proof did positively influence class attendance rates under certain circumstances. The authors discuss the study implications. © 2012, Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

A model of trust and compliance in franchise relationships - Davies, Mark A. P.; Lassar, Walfried; Manolis, Chris; Prince, Melvin; Winsor, Robert D. (Journal of Business Venturing, 2011)
Despite the danger of franchisee non-compliance as a severe impediment to overall franchise operation and performance, there is currently minimal understanding of the key factors that lead to these behaviors. Using a foundation of relational exchange theory, we construct and test a model that demonstrates how two distinct forms of trust, based upon perceptions of franchisor integrity and franchisor competence, are critical to explaining the roles that relational conflict and satisfaction play in influencing franchisee compliance. Implications of these findings are then demonstrated to have compelling relevance to the effective management of franchise systems. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Switching costs and ad agency-client relationship longevity: an exploratory study - Davies, Mark; Prince, Melvin (Services Marketing Quarterly, 2011)
A model of switching costs is applied to ad agency-client relationships using agency theory. Switching costs are comprised of set-up costs that create barriers to switching to new agencies and exit costs that are barriers to severing relationships with current agencies. Switching cost theory offers insights into why large clients can maintain agency relationships. A survey of American clients shows how client size is associated with set-up and exit costs. These relationships are explained through diversity and scope of services, the creative risk associated with major brands, and the need for more sophisticated monitoring, each acting as switching barriers, extending longevity. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Social Interaction and Employee Health - Forbus, Robert; Snyder, Jason (Journal of Business Management and Change, 2011)
With social interaction, quantity does not equal quality. Persons may have frequent negative social interactions with other persons, such that the interactions are socially undermining, rather than socially supportive. Rook (1984) used regression analysis to demonstrate how negative social interactions impact upon well-being outcomes more powerfully and more consistently than do positive social interactions. Building upon Rook’s work, the present research examines a workplace weight loss intervention and demonstrates the power of socially supportive communication in measures of weight loss and healthy lifestyle changes. Management implications are discussed.

Advertising agency compensation, client evaluation and switching costs: an extension of agency theory - Davies, Mark; Prince, Melvin (Journal of Current Issues and Research in Advertising, 2010)
We develop a theory of advertising agency compensation, client evaluation and switching costs, with extensions to agency theory. When clients are exposed to high switching costs, they become more vulnerable to the risk of agency costs. In response, clients can select compensation and evaluation decisions that convey fairness, signal their commitment, and invite agency reciprocity. With high switching costs, outcome-based compensation and formal evaluation procedures are likely. High switching costs are associated with signifi'cant relationship investments, mature relationships, large clients, formal evaluation, and with clients that use their agencies as strategic partners. Clients surveyed in North America support the theory. © 2010 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Performance and standardization of Australian, Japanese and US firms - Kustin, Richard Alan (Asia Pacific Journal of Marketing and Logistics, 2010)
Purpose – Globalization has fostered greater interest in all aspects of standardization theory including the 4Ps of the marketing mix or program and process marketing. The purpose of this paper is to probe the question: “Is there a benefit to the firm's strategy of marketing standardization that correlates positively to the firm's profit?”. Design/methodology/approach – Multinational firms from Australia, Japan and the USA operating in a global environment were studied in order to correlate marketing standardization to profit performance. Several methods of analysis were used including regression and analysis of variance measures. Findings – The results indicate there is increasing support for a strategy of standardizing marketing mix components and contributing to a firm's profit performance. Originality/value – The paper adds to the current literature by providing further empirical research correlating marketing mix standardization to profit. © 2010, Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Theory into research practice: reflections and recommendations on collaborative feminist research - Harvey, Rebecca G.; Brown, Kristina S.; Miller, Bobbi J.; Williams-Reade, Jacqueline; Tyndall, Lisa; Murphy, Megan J. (Journal of Feminist Family Therapy, 2016)
Six women faculty came together to research their peers asking other women in COAMFTE-accredited programs about their personal and professional identities. The goal of this research was to develop recommendations for the field of Couple/Marriage and Family Therapy to support the engagement and advancement of women faculty. The research collaboration itself became a heuristic, feminist praxis, a co-creation of insight, support network, and professional relationships which had liberating results for the collaborators. We intended to create a research project that would be collaborative, empowering, and transformative for participants; in the process, the collaboration became empowering and transformative for ourselves. This article will reflect on our experiences and provide recommendations for future feminist research teams. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Queer youth in family therapy - Harvey, Rebecca G.; Fish, Linda Stone (Family Process, 2015)
Trends in popular belief about same-sex relationships have undergone noteworthy change in the United States over the last decade. Yet this change has been marked by stark polarizations and has occurred at varying rates depending upon regional, community, racial, religious, and individual family context. For queer youth and their families, this cultural transformation has broadened opportunities and created a new set of risks and vulnerabilities. At the same time, youth's increasingly open and playful gender fluidity and sexual identity is complicated by unique intersections of class, race, religion, and immigration. Effective family therapy with queer youth requires practitioner's and treatment models that are sensitive to those who bear the burden of multiple oppressions and the hidden resilience embedded in their layered identities. We present case examples of our model of family therapy which addresses refuge, supports difficult dialogs, and nurtures queerness by looking for hidden resilience in the unique intersections of queer youths' lives. These intersections provide transformational potential for youth, their families and even for family therapists as we are all nurtured and challenged to think more complexly about intersectionality, sexuality, and gender. Las tendencias en la creencia popular acerca de las relaciones entre personas del mismo sexo han sufrido un cambio considerable en Estados Unidos durante la ultima decada. Sin embargo, este cambio se ha producido a ritmos diferentes segun las comunidades locales y regionales, y el contexto familiar individual. En el caso de los jovenes queer y sus familias, esta transformacion cultural ha ampliado oportunidades y creado un nuevo conjunto de riesgos y vulnerabilidades. Los jovenes queer y sus familias, al intentar desarrollarse en numerosos contextos, estan marcados por divergencias crueles en actitudes y creencias. Al mismo tiempo, la fluidez del genero y la identidad sexual cada vez mas abiertas y ludicas de los jovenes estan complicadas por intersecciones unicas de clase, raza, religion e inmigracion. Una terapia familiar eficaz con jovenes queer exige modelos de tratamiento y profesionales que sean sensibles a aquellas personas que cargan sobre sus espaldas numerosas opresiones y una resiliencia oculta incorporada en sus identidades multiples. Presentamos ejemplos de casos de nuestro modelo de terapia familiar que aborda el refugio, respalda los dialogos dificiles y apoya la sexualidad alternativa buscando la resiliencia oculta en las intersecciones unicas de las vidas de los jovenes queer. Estas intersecciones ofrecen posibilidades transformacionales para los jovenes, sus familias e incluso los terapeutas familiares mientras nos estimulan y nos desafian a todos a pensar de forma mas compleja acerca de la interseccionalidad, la sexualidad y el genero.

Telling tales at work: an evolutionary explanation - Yang, Chulguen (Business Communication Quarterly, 2013)
This article explores the adaptive functions of storytelling in the workplace from an evolutionary perspective. Based on the analysis of ethnographic studies on hunter-gatherer and modern work organizations, this article claims that storytelling, as an adapted cognitive device, was selectively retained by natural and sexual selection, because of its survival and reproductive payoff. The narrative production through storytelling is a natural coping mechanism and has been functional in both old and new ways of working life under different ecological conditions. This article also highlights underlying adapted psychological mechanisms of storytelling and discusses some evolutionarily informed practical implications and pedagogical applications. © 2013 by the Association for Business Communication.

Start-up and hiring practices of immigrant entrepreneurs: An empirical study from an evolutionary psychological perspective - Yang, Chulguen; Colarelli, Stephen M; Han, Kyunghee; Page, Robert A (International Business Review, 2011)
Strong social ties embedded in ethnic communities of immigrant populations have been considered key assets for immigrant entrepreneurs. However, little research has been done on how biological kinship and the biological theories of altruism influence the behavior of ethnic entrepreneurs. In this study, we have applied a neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory of kinship to examine adaptive functions of kin and ethnic altruism in business start-up and hiring practices of Korean immigrant entrepreneurs in the United States. We confirmed that the patterns of help received by Korean entrepreneurs for business start-ups were congruent with an evolutionary perspective on altruism. However, the results for hiring patterns suggested that customer ethnicity trumped kin and co-ethic interests. We close by offering suggestions for future research. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Is Daniel 11:1-19 based on a ptolemaic narrative? - Scolnic, Benjamin (Journal for The Study of Judaism, 2014)
Daniel 11 is considered an exceptional Biblical text because of its interest in and accuracy about historical and political events in the Hellenistic world. A recent theory suggests that the author was a former Seleucid scribe; another theory posits the use of a Ptolemaic propaganda document. The approach here will be inductive, reading out from the text to adduce evidence that the author of Daniel 11 either used or reflected the attitudes of Ptolemaic narrative, not necessarily because he was pro-Ptolemaic but because it suited his anti-Antiochene purpose. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

Antiochus IV as the scorned prince in dan 11:21 - Scolnic, Benjamin (Vetus Testamentum, 2012)
While most English translations render nbzh in Dan 11:21 as "contemptible, vile, despicable," closer examination will demonstrate that this Biblical Hebrew word should be translated as "spurned, scorned, rejected." Once one understands Dan 11:21 accordingly, other ancient sources can be brought to show that this verse states, in its own thinly-veiled code, that before his rise to power, Antiochus IV, son of the late king Antiochus III and brother of the current king Seleucus IV, had been scorned and had not been given appropriate royal honors. This verse should be seen as another element in the evaluation of Dan 11 as an accurate and important historical source for the events surrounding the rise and rule of Antiochus IV. © 2012 by Koninklijke Brill N.V., Leiden, The Netherlands.

Current market demand for core competencies of librarianship-a text mining study of american library association's advertisements from 2009 through 2014 - Yang, Qinghong; Zhang, Xingzhi; Du, Xiaoping; Bielefield, Arlene; Liu, Yan Quan (Applied Sciences-Basel, 2016)
As librarianship evolves, it is important to examine the changes that have taken place in professional requirements. To provide an understanding of the current market demand for core competencies of librarianship, this article conducts a semi-automatic methodology to analyze job advertisements (ads) posted on the American Library Association (ALA) Joblist from 2009 through 2014. There is evidence that the ability to solve unexpected complex problems and to provide superior customer service gained increasing importance for librarians during those years. The authors contend that the findings in this report question the status quo of core competencies of librarianship in the US job market.

A library in the palm of your hand: mobile services in top 100 university libraries - Liu, Yan Quan; Briggs, Sarah (Information Technology and Libraries, 2015)
What is the current state of mobile services among academic libraries of the country's top 100 universities, and what are the best practices for librarians implementing mobile services at the university level? Through in-depth website visits and survey questionnaires, the authors studied each of the top 100 universities' libraries' experiences with mobile services. Results showed that all of these libraries offered at least one mobile service, and the majority offered multiple services. The most common mobile services offered were mobile sites, text messaging services, e-books, and mobile access to databases and the catalog. In addition, chat/IM services, social media accounts and apps were very popular. Survey responses also indicated a trend towards responsive design for websites so that patrons can access the library's full site on any mobile device. Respondents recommend that libraries considering offering mobile services begin as soon as possible as patron demand for these services is expected to increase.

Web 2.0 applications' usage and trends in top US academic libraries - Boateng, Frank; Liu, Yan Quan (Library Hi Tech, 2014)
Purpose - This paper aims to explore Web 2.0 technologies usage and trends in the top 100 US academic libraries as exemplified through the academic library websites. Design/methodology/approach - The top 100 universities were selected from the US News & World Report's (USNWR) 2013 ranked list's top 100 of the best colleges in the USA. Content analysis was used in terms of quantitative approach. A checklist was developed as the main research instrument based on other checklists and questionnaires. Each of the selected university library websites was visited within a period of two weeks to explore implementation and usage of web tools, including SNS, blog, RSS, wikis, podcast/vodcast, and social bookmarking/tagging. Findings - All 100 academic libraries had a social media presence on Facebook and Twitter, making SNS the most widely applied Web 2.0 tool. The wild was the least applied Web 2.0 technology, with a 34 percent participation rate. Blog was the second most popular tool with a 99 percent participation rate, followed by RSS and IM/Chat with 97 percent and 91 percent respectively. The vodcast and podcast had 47 percent and 46 percent participation rates respectively, while social bookmarking/tagging were also used by 39 percent of the academic libraries. Research limitations/implications - This study is completely based on publicly available data regarding usage of Web 2.0 applications. Web 2.0 tools used on library intranets were not analyzed for this study. Outcomes suggest that academic libraries are increasingly using Web 2.0 applications to promote themselves, enhance library services, and highlight resources to patrons. Originality/value - This is the first research that draws an overall picture of the usage and trends of Web 2.0 applications in the top 100 US academic libraries. This study demonstrates some noticeable patterns regarding usage, trends, and adoption which are relevant to how Web 2.0 applications are perceived and used within academic libraries. The study provides academic libraries with helpful information to better meet their user needs by effectively applying Web 2.0. Additionally, library managers, librarians and other libraries may also find this research beneficial as they plan to deploy Web 2.0.

Web 2.0 applications in top Chinese university libraries - Han, Zhiping; Liu, Yan Quan (Library Hi Tech, 2010)
Purpose - This paper aims to explore the status and construction pattern of Web 2.0 technologies employed in top Chinese university libraries, their functionalities and features. Design/methodology/approach - A combination of online survey and content analysis methodology is applied to a sample of 38 top Chinese university libraries' web sites. The Web 2.0 tools are categorized by generally accepted standards with some adjustment for library practices. Data were collected by accessing these university library web sites on two separate occasions during the period of February 10-20, 2009 by utilizing a checklist of 52 questions. Findings - More than two-thirds of the 38 top Chinese university libraries apply one or more kinds of Web 2.0 tools through the basic functions of their web sites. Among six types of tools, Catalog 2.0 and RSS are the most common, while IM, Blog, SNS and Wiki are less frequent. Research limitations/implications - Internal applications that are not publicly accessible contain hidden information that may not be gathered through content analysis since these links usually cannot be found on library web sites. It is difficult to get exact information as to the applications of Web 2.0 in these libraries without an interview method in combination to observation. Originality/value - This study provides an overall picture of Web 2.0 tools developed in top Chinese university libraries, allowing for future evaluation and planning. The implementation of Web 2.0 applications and their constructing pattern is not only indicative of the development of the Chinese digital libraries, but also to their development of digital libraries in the world at large.

Technical service outreach strategies for academic libraries - Toce, Jacqueline; Schofield, Cindy (Technical Services Quarterly, 2011)
The model of a library staff divided into technical and informational service divisions remains common-especially among academic libraries. The authors argue that in many ways it is now the technical services division that is best positioned to provide outreach services to a community-whether at the university or municipal level. Maintaining bibliographic access amid the changing information landscape hinges on a clear understanding of systems, metadata, and traditional organizational skills, all home grown in the back rooms of conventional libraries. The authors cite examples of library outreach that emanated from technical service departments and conclude that the sequestered staffs of the past must make themselves indispensible today by sharing their knowledge and talents, offering services to their communities that require their technical expertise, and advance the mission of the library organization. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Captured on the gold coast: “Illegal” enslavement, freedom and the pursuit of justice in dutch courts, 1746–1750 - de Kok, Gerhard; Feinberg, Harvey M. (Journal of Global Slavery, 2016)
In May of 1746, slaving captain Christiaan Hagerop illegally captured ten Gold Coast canoe paddlers, seven of whom were free Africans from Elmina and Fante. Hagerop subsequently sailed to Suriname, where he sold the paddlers into slavery. To appease the relatives of the captured men and to safeguard its reputation among local Africans, the Dutch West India Company (WIC) launched a search for the kidnapped paddlers. Six of the men were eventually located in Suriname in 1749, the seventh having died in slavery. While the Africans were transported back to the Gold Coast via Amsterdam, the WIC tried to have Hagerop extradited to its Gold Coast possessions to receive punishment for his crime. A legal battle over jurisdictional competence ensued in the Dutch Republic, the outcome of which was that the captain was made to stand trial in Amsterdam, but in the end he received very little punishment. © 2016 Copyright 2016 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

Muslim Persecution of Heretics during the Marwānid Period (64–132/684–750) - Judd, Steven (Al-Masaq: Journal of the Medieval Mediterranean, 2011)
This article traces the emergence of a systematic approach to combating heresy during the Umayyad period. It argues that the Umayyads sought to silence religious dissent by labelling it as heresy and that the doctrinal boundaries of orthodoxy narrowed as the Umayyad period progressed. The article also asserts that Umayyad efforts to impose their vision of orthodoxy were an important precedent for the mihna under the Abbasids. © 2011 Society for the Medieval Mediterranean.

The persistence of republicanism: class war talk, american style - Cassano, Graham; Rondinone, Troy (Labor Studies Journal, 2010)
The authors argue that there have been moments in American history when a class analysis entered into popular discourse. What has been "exceptional" about American history is the manner in which that class analysis emerged. When Americans speak the language of "class" and "class warfare," it is often clothed in the rhetoric of labor republicanism. That is, rather than offering a systemic analysis of capitalist processes, American labor republicanism offers a class analysis that sets a small set of bad acting "elites" and their dependents against the mass of American workers. The authors trace this discourse from Franklin Roosevelt's 1936 description of "economic royalists" to Lou Dobbs's nativist attack on "corporate elites" and undocumented workers. As the United States enters a new period of "class awareness" and economic crisis, this republicanism returns to haunt public discourse. © 2010 UALE.

Actigraphy features for predicting mobility disability in older adults - Kheirkhahan, Matin; Tudor-Locke, Catrine; Axtell, Robert; Buman, Matthew P.; Fielding, Roger A.; Glynn, Nancy W.; Guralnik, Jack M.; King, Abby C.; White, Daniel K.; Miller, Michael E.; Siddique, Juned; Brubaker, Peter; et al. (Physiological Measurement, 2016)
Actigraphy has attracted much attention for assessing physical activity in the past decade. Many algorithms have been developed to automate the analysis process, but none has targeted a general model to discover related features for detecting or predicting mobility function, or more specifically, mobility impairment and major mobility disability (MMD). Men (N = 357) and women (N = 778) aged 70-89 years wore a tri-axial accelerometer (Actigraph GT3X) on the right hip during free-living conditions for 8.4 +/- 3.0 d. One-second epoch data were summarized into 67 features. Several machine learning techniques were used to select features from the free-living condition to predict mobility impairment, defined as 400 m walking speed ¡0.80 m s(-1). Selected features were also included in a model to predict the first occurrence of MMD-defined as the loss in the ability to walk 400 m. Each method yielded a similar estimate of 400 m walking speed with a root mean square error of similar to 0.07 m s(-1) and an R-squared values ranging from 0.37-0.41. Sensitivity and specificity of identifying slow walkers was approximately 70% and 80% for all methods, respectively. The top five features, which were related to movement pace and amount (activity counts and steps), length in activity engagement (bout length), accumulation patterns of activity, and movement variability significantly improved the prediction of MMD beyond that found with common covariates (age, diseases, anthropometry, etc). This study identified a subset of actigraphy features collected in free-living conditions that are moderately accurate in identifying persons with clinically-assessed mobility impaired and significantly improve the prediction of MMD. These findings suggest that the combination of features as opposed to a specific feature is important to consider when choosing features and/or combinations of features for prediction of mobility phenotypes in older adults.

Great games that disappeared - Rauschenbach, James; Swartz, Daniel R (Strategies: a journal for physical and sport educators, 2016)
Sometimes through a single person's efforts, a new and innovative game is developed and promoted locally. Occasionally, circumstances cause these games to remain on a local level without being adopted by mainstream physical educators and physical activity professionals. Unfortunately, some educators tend to stick to what they know and teach traditional games and sports. This practice has left little room for unique and innovative games such as tchoukball and hocker to contribute to physical education curriculum. This article describes the history of how each of these games was developed and promoted. Rules, equipment and game-play strategies are provided. ©, Copyright Taylor & Francis.

Psychoanalysis, artistic obsession, and artistic motivation: the study of pathography. - Kemler, David S (Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2014)
A modern assessment of Freud's conceptualization of the creative process focusing on drives, ego psychology, and object relation theory is presented. 40 artists and musicians were interviewed employing 13 open-ended questions to provoke responses historically associated with the theoretical conceptualizations of Freud and post-Freudian theory related to the creative process. Creative process was defined as internal object relations that motivate the external connection between artist and the creative work. Measured responses concerning purpose and understanding; motivation before, during, and after performance; obstacles in performance; and needs through the creative process were assessed. Cluster analysis segregated the participants into high, medium, and low agreement groups based on similarity of responses. A multivariate stepwise regression revealed four questions (enlightenment, drives, obstacles, and ought self discrepancies) accounted for 83.9% of the variance. A post hoc discriminant function analysis identified 82.5% of the population to their correct groups. The findings support Spitz's (2005) suggestion that we regard “drives, ego psychology, and object relation theory not as separate approaches but as parts of a whole with varying stresses or accents” (p. 503).

Promoting physical activity for elders with compromised function: the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) Study physical activity intervention - Rejeski, W. Jack; Axtell, Robert; Fielding, Roger; Katula, Jeffrey; King, Abby C.; Manini, Todd M.; Marsh, Anthony P.; Pahor, Marco; Rego, Alvito; Tudor-Locke, Catrine; Newman, Mark; Walkup, Michael P.; et al. (Clinical Interventions in Aging, 2013)
The Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) Study is a Phase III randomized controlled clinical trial (Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01072500) that will provide definitive evidence regarding the effect of physical activity (PA) on major mobility disability in older adults (70-89 years old) who have compromised physical function. This paper describes the methods employed in the delivery of the LIFE Study PA intervention, providing insight into how we promoted adherence and monitored the fidelity of treatment. Data are presented on participants' motives and self-perceptions at the onset of the trial along with accelerometry data on patterns of PA during exercise training. Prior to the onset of training, 31.4% of participants noted slight conflict with being able to meet the demands of the program and 6.4% indicated that the degree of conflict would be moderate. Accelerometry data collected during PA training revealed that the average intensity - 1,555 counts/minute for men and 1,237 counts/minute for women - was well below the cutoff point used to classify exercise as being of moderate intensity or higher for adults. Also, a sizable subgroup required one or more rest stops. These data illustrate that it is not feasible to have a single exercise prescription for older adults with compromised function. Moreover, the concept of what constitutes “moderate” exercise or an appropriate volume of work is dictated by the physical capacities of each individual and the level of comfort/stability in actually executing a specific prescription.

Potential impact of a 500-mL water bolus and body mass on plasma osmolality dilution - Sollanek, Kurt J.; Kenefick, Robert W.; Cheuvront, Samuel N.; Axtell, Robert S. (European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2011)
A methodological discrepancy exists in the hydration assessment literature regarding the establishment of euhydration, as some investigations utilize a prehydration technique, while others do not (overnight fluid/food fast). However, the degree that plasma osmolality (Posm) dilutes when using the pre-hydration method and how body mass/composition might influence the results is not known. Thirty subjects (22 M, 8 F; 20 ± 2 years (mean ± SD); 1.8 ± 0.1 m; 75.8 ± 13.5 kg) had P osm measured after an 8-h food and fluid fast (overnight fast) and 90 min after a 500-mL (4-9 mL/kg) water bolus (prehydration). From pre- to post-bolus, participants' P osm declined from 297 ± 3.5 to 295 ± 3.8 mmol/kg (p<0.05; Δ -1.7 ± 3.5 mmol/kg). One-third of the sample diluted to more than -3 mmol/kg. The effect of body mass on P osm dilution was investigated by comparing dilution in the ten lightest (62.8 ± 3.4 kg) and heaviest (92.0 ± 9.8 kg) participants; however, the change between the light (Δ -1.9 ± 3.8 mmol/kg) versus heavy groups (Δ -1.1 ± 3.0 mmol/kg) was not different (p>0.05). The correlation between body mass or total body water and change in P osm was weak (p>0.05), as was the correlation between relative fluid intake based on mass and change in P osm (p>0.05). The two methodologies appear to produce similar P osm values when measured in most individuals. However, the potential for significant dilution (>3 mmol/kg) should be considered when choosing the pre-hydration methodology. © Springer-Verlag (outside the USA) 2011.

Impaired autonomic function in normotensive obese children - Latchman, Peter L; Mathur, Madhu; Bartels, Matthew N; Axtell, Robert S; Meersman, Ronald E De (Clinical Autonomic Research, 2011)
Purpose To evaluate baroreflex sensitivity and autonomic control in a cohort of normotensive obese (OB) children. Method A cross-sectional investigation, in which, baroreflex sensitivity and autonomic control were evaluated using transfer function and power spectral density analysis (PSDA) of the electrocardiogram and beat-to-beat blood pressures in normotensive OB children and normal weight normotensive controls. All methods used were noninvasive and data were captured while seated and at rest. Results The OB and control subjects non-obese (NO) were of similar age (OB 9.1 ± 1.9 years vs.NO9.2 ± 1.4 years). The OB group was classified as having a BMI greater than the 95th percentile adjusted for age and gender, and a NO group with a BMI at or less than the 95th percentile (BMI percentile OB. 97.5 ± 1.3 vs. NO 58.5 ± 24.1). Both groups had similar normotensive blood pressures. T tests revealed that baroreflex sensitivity and HFRR were significantly reduced in the OB 9.2 ± 2.7 vs. 15.2 ± 4.7 (ms/mmHg) and 6.7 ± 1.1 vs. 8.2 ± 1.1 ms 2, respectively, while LF SBP and LF/HF ratio were significantly increased in the OB 11.9 ± 5.6 vs. 8.2 ± 4.7 mmHg 2 and 1.2 ± 0.7 vs. 0.54 ± 0.3, respectively. Conclusions Normotensive OB children exhibited significantly reduced baroreflex sensitivity, parasympathetic control as well as increased sympathetic control when compared with healthy, NO controls.

Seeing to hear? Patterns of gaze to speaking faces in children with autism spectrum disorders. - Irwin, Julia R; Brancazio, Lawrence (Frontiers in Psychology, 2014)
Using eye-tracking methodology, gaze to a speaking face was compared in a group of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and a group with typical development (TD). Patterns of gaze were observed under three conditions: audiovisual (AV) speech in auditory noise, visual only speech and an AV non-face, non-speech control. Children with ASD looked less to the face of the speaker and fixated less on the speakers' mouth than TD controls. No differences in gaze were reported for the non-face, non-speech control task. Since the mouth holds much of the articulatory information available on the face, these findings suggest that children with ASD may have reduced access to critical linguistic information. This reduced access to visible articulatory information could be a contributor to the communication and language problems exhibited by children with ASD.

Do adult medicaid enrollees prefer going to their primary care provider's clinic rather than emergency department (ED) for low acuity conditions? - Capp, Roberta; Camp-Binford, Meredith; Sobolewski, Sarah; Bulmer, Sandra; Kelley, Lauren (Medical Care, 2015)
Background: The rates of annual visits for adult Medicaid enrollees to the emergency department (ED) are increasing. Many programs throughout the country are focused on engaging patients in the use of their primary care providers (PCP) rather than the ED for low acuity conditions. It is unclear, however, the proportion of patients who are willing to use primary care services rather than the ED if they are given the choice. Methods: Cross-sectional study of adult Medicaid enrollees (18 y and older) presenting to a large, urban, academic ED from June to August 2012 with a low acuity condition was performed. We excluded patients who did not have a PCP or active Medicaid insurance. Our primary goal was to determine the proportion of patients who prefer to use the ED, rather than their PCP clinic, if an appointment was immediately available. Our second goal was to understand why patients would prefer ED over PCP care. Results: A total of 150 patients agreed to complete the survey, and 95 (63.3%) met our inclusion criteria. Forty-three patients (45.3%) stated preferring to use their PCPs rather than the ED if an appointment was available at that time. Thirteen (48.1%) cited that the ED had more technology or specialty care services available when compared with their PCP's clinic, 8 (15.4%) were in significant pain, and 6 (11.5%) felt the care they received in the ED was better than what they would receive in their PCP clinic. Conclusions: Our study shows that a little less than half of adult Medicaid enrollees presenting to the ED with low acuity conditions would have preferred to use their PCP rather than the ED, if an appointment had been immediately available.

A research update on correlates of heavy episodic drinking among undergraduate college students. - Montauti, Sara; Bulmer, Sandra Minor (American Journal of Health Education, 2014)
Despite prevention efforts of colleges and universities across the nation, there have been no substantial decreases in heavy episodic drinking among undergraduates over the past 2 decades.This study provides an update on correlates of heavy episodic drinking for a recent cohort of undergraduate college students.A cross-sectional survey design was utilized. Participants were randomly selected undergraduate students from a public 4-year university located in the Northeast.Heavy episodic drinking was associated with male gender, white race, having a family history of drug or alcohol abuse, smoking cigarettes, and using marijuana. Age, athlete status, completion of an alcohol education program, condom use, depression, anxiety, and financial stress were not associated. After controlling for gender and race, marijuana use and smoking cigarettes were found to increase predictability of heavy episodic drinking.Rates of heavy episodic drinking remain high but correlates may be shifting for this cohort of college students. Opportunities to address heavy episodic drinking concurrently with cigarette smoking and marijuana use should be explored.Qualitative research methods are needed to gain insight into reasons for heavy episodic drinking; information that could inform the creation of more effective programming. © 2014 Copyright © SHAPE America.

Women's perceived benefits of exercise during and after breast cancer treatment. - Bulmer, Sandra Minor; Howell, Jeremy; Ackerman, Louise; Fedric, Regan (Women & Health, 2012)
Empirical data support the benefits of physical activity for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. However, the experience of exercising during or after breast cancer treatment has not been fully documented. The purpose of the researchers in this study was to provide an in-depth description of women's experiences with exercising during or after their breast cancer treatments, specifically, their perceptions of the benefits they experienced as a result of participation in an individualized exercise program that included cardiovascular and resistance activities. Forty-five women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer within the previous two years were recruited from two oncology practices after electing to enroll in an exercise program. Data were collected between September 2006 and August 2007 through in-depth interviews at various stages in the exercise program and analyzed simultaneously using thematic analysis methods. Whether in treatment or post-treatment, women attributed psychological, physical, and social benefits to their participation in the exercise program. Participants credited the program with helping them to feel better, regain control over their bodies and their lives, manage their emotions, and prepare them to live healthfully going forward. These results provide insight into the specific ways women experience exercise during and after their breast cancer treatments.

Young women's experiences living with polycystic ovary syndrome - Weiss, Theresa R.; Bulmer, Sandra Minor (JOGNN - Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing, 2011)
Objective: To explore the psychosocial effects of living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) through the experiences of young women diagnosed with this endocrine disorder. Design: A qualitative, phenomenological methodology was used. Data were obtained through personal, semistructured interviews. Setting: College campuses in New England. Participants: A purposive sample of 12 young women with PCOS age 18 to 23 years. Results: The following themes emerged from analysis of participants' responses: concerns for older self, feeling physically inferior, coping with symptoms, patient-provider relationship, seeking useable information and support, and coming to terms with a chronic condition. Conclusions: Participants in this study faced numerous physical, social, and emotional challenges on a daily basis. As these young women gathered information relevant to their needs, sought and received social support, and maintained their daily routines to improve their health and appearance, they came to terms with this chronic condition. Based on participants' relayed experiences, it became evident that a need exists for health care practitioners to include psychosocial support in a comprehensive holistic plan for the treatment of PCOS in adolescents and young women in their early twenties.

The impact of caloric information on college student's fast food purchasing intentions - Zigmont, Victoria A; Bulmer, Sandra Minor (American journal of health education, 2015)
Background: Fast food establishments are available on many college campuses and, as a result, many students consume foods that are high in calories and contribute to unhealthy weight gain. Purpose: This study measured college students' knowledge of the calorie content for fast food items and whether the provision of calorie information for those foods influenced their future purchasing intentions. Method: Randomly selected undergraduate college students (N = 201) completed an online survey that measured baseline knowledge of calorie content for a fast food item and intention to purchase that item in the future. After provision of accurate calorie information, students were posttested for intention to purchase that item in the future. Results: The majority of students underestimated calorie content for fast food items. After receiving accurate calorie information, those who initially underestimated calorie content were significantly more likely to change their intention to purchase that food item in the future. Discussion: Many college students are interested in avoiding high-calorie fast food items but are uninformed about calorie content. Translation to Health Education Practice: Colleges should provide calorie information for fast food items at the point of purchase so that students can make informed decisions that will promote their health. © 2015, Copyright © SHAPE America.

Using CBPR methods in college health research exploring excessive alcohol consumption - Bulmer, Sandra Minor; Barton, Barbara A; Liefeld, Julie; Montauti, Sara; Santos, Stephanie; Richard, Melissa; Hnath, Laura; Pelletier, Kara; Lalanne, Jude (Journal of Adolescent Research, 2016)
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a collaborative methodology that uniquely involves stakeholders in all stages of the research process. CBPR has been widely utilized in the field of public health, but not widely employed with college populations. This study utilized CBPR methods within a college community to gain insight into excessive alcohol consumption. Six student researchers planned and carried out a rigorous qualitative study at a public university in the Northeast region of the United States. A total of 48 undergraduate participants were recruited for focus groups that were facilitated by two student researchers, and transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis methods. Students' reasons for drinking alcohol were focused within the themes of inclusion, habitual default, and the student development process. Social media, strict policy/enforcement, and student's desire to avoid responsibility led to increased risk and consequences related to drinking. Students recommended late night transportation and a Good Samaritan policy as strategies to improve student safety. This study led to student advocacy and policy change directed at improving student's health and safety and demonstrated that CBPR methods show promise for engaging students and producing meaningful data.

The Andersen–Newman Behavioral Model of Health Service Use as a conceptual basis for understanding patient behavior within the patient–physician dyad: The influence of trust on adherence to statins in older people living with HIV and cardiovascular disease - Petrovic, Kimberly; Blank, Thomas O (Cogent psychology, 2015)
The observation that “(d)rugs don’t work in patients who don’t take them” seems obvious; however, for older people living with HIV and cardiovascular disease (CVD), the potential for taking large numbers of medications on a regular basis may present as an overwhelming task, particularly as HIV and CVD progress and worsen over time. The extent to which older people living with HIV and CVD follow medication schedules for the treatment of these chronic health conditions is not understood well, and myriad questions exist with regard to medication adherence and older people living with HIV and CVD. For instance, do older people living with HIV and CVD take all medications as prescribed? Does this group prioritize which medications to take, perhaps demonstrating a preference for taking antiretroviral medications for the treatment of HIV as opposed to statins for the treatment of CVD? In the process of answering these and other questions, recognizing the individual and his or her attitudes and behaviors within the context of the dyadic relationship shared between patient and physician is paramount. Developing a more thorough understanding of this dyadic relationship allows for a better grasp of the context within which medication adherence occurs for older people living with HIV and CVD. That said, because of the ability to lend itself to an understanding of human behavior, human development, and psychology, the Andersen and Newman Behavioral Model of Health Service Use provides a worthwhile conceptual basis for beginning to answer these questions. © 2015 The Author(s).

Exceeding expectations: economic forecasts and underreaction to macroeconomic announcements - Birz, Gene; Dutta, Sandip (SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015)
The chapter traces the development of Orthodoxy by focusing on the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Russian Orthodox Church in the early modern period. It is based on the premise that in both cases Orthodoxy faced three main challenges: imperial/political, intellectual, and financial. In both the Ottoman and the Russian empires, the Orthodox Church played important roles in the political, administrative, cultural, economic, ideological, and social lives of the Orthodox believers. Orthodoxy usually provided legitimizing ideological support to state authority, was forced to reckon with Western cultural and theological trends, and also proactively defended its economic interests. For most of the period, the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church maintained constant contacts, even in the face of mutual suspicions of each other’s motives. The chapter argues that early modern Orthodoxy proved adaptive, developed over time, and withstood the challenges it faced, ultimately keeping its symbolic capital largely intact.

Are we overestimating REIT idiosyncratic risk? Analysis of pricing effects and persistence - Abugri, Benjamin A.; Dutta, Sandip (International Review of Economics & Finance, 2014)
This study uses a multifactor REIT-specific model to estimate and compare REIT idiosyncratic volatility vis-A-vis the same from the Fama-French three-factor model. Estimates of conditional idiosyncratic volatility and conditional betas obtained from a multifactor REIT-returns model and a bivariate EGARCH model respectively are found to be positively and significantly related with REIT returns. Consistent with Merton's (1987) predictions, we observe that larger REITs post higher average returns when idiosyncratic risk is introduced in cross-sectional regressions. Persistence of past market-risk does not appear to be short-lived and seems to have a lasting impact on future idiosyncratic volatility. We also observe mild evidence of persistence of past idiosyncratic risk, albeit short-lived, thereby suggesting that past idiosyncratic risk has a short-term impact on future idiosyncratic risk.

Emerging market hedge funds: are they managed like hedge funds? - Abugri, Benjamin A; Dutta, Sandip (Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Money, 2013)
In this study, we investigate whether the performance of emerging market hedge funds (EMHFs) follow a pattern similar to that reported for advanced market hedge funds. In contrast to the pre-2007 period, our results for the post-2006 period showthat EMHFs exhibit performance patterns similar to those reported for hedge funds that focus on the developed markets. Unlike in the pre-2007 period, EMHFs in general do not exhibit significant exposure to specific asset classes in the post-2006 period. On a risk-adjusted basis, we find that EMHFs do not consistently outperform the benchmarks. The reported performance patterns may provide useful insights to both academics and portfolio managers.

Testing trade-off and pecking order models of capital structure: does legal system matter? - Cotei, Carmen; Farhat, Joseph B; Abugri, Benjamin A (Managerial Finance, 2011)
Purpose – This paper aims to examine the link between financing patterns, information asymmetry and legal traditions in 37 countries during the 1990-2004 period. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is based on three theories: the trade-off theory, pecking order hypothesis and market timing hypothesis. The authors test the predictions of these theories/hypotheses using regression analysis. The econometric method used is panel data with firm and country fixed effects. The authors develop a modified pecking order model which controls for short- and long-term debt level changes and simultaneously test the predictions of all theories. Findings – Consistent with studies for US firms, the results show that firms across all countries adjust toward the target leverage, but with significantly different rate. The long-term debt contribution in the rate of adjustment is 64 percent in common law countries and 51 percent in civil law countries. The ability of the model to explain changes in leverage ratios is higher in common law countries. The authors find support for market timing hypothesis but no support for pecking order of financing. These results support their conjecture that stronger investor protection, higher transparency and well-developed financial markets in common law countries reduce the cost of recapitalization. Research limitations/implications – The limitation of this study comes from lack of data availability to measure contract enforcement, transparency, and corporate governance variables. Future research can incorporate these variables to explain the differences in capital structure decisions across countries with different legal systems. Practical implications – The findings show that firms' capital structure decisions are not only a function of their own characteristics but also the result of legal and financial market development in which they operate. Originality/value – This is the first study that sheds light about rate of adjustment to optimal capital structure and pecking order of financing in 37 countries with different legal traditions and financial market developments. The authors are not aware of any other study that uses a modified pecking order model in an international context. © 2011, © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

The role of magnetic agents in shaping post-disaster land use - Zavar, Elyse (Land Use Policy, 2016)
Three neighborhoods in Lexington, Kentucky, share a common flood history, including property acquisitions, as a means to mitigate against flooding; yet, the interactions of residents with the buyout landscapes vary significantly among the neighborhoods. Although the same institutions and structural controls implemented flood buyout programs in all three neighborhoods, semi-structured interviews illustrate that differing perspectives, personalities, and neighborhood politics shaped unique identities and land uses for the acquired properties in each neighborhood. Varying levels of resident engagement with the buyout landscape resulted in a range of attitudes towards hazard preparation, management, and mitigation, thus leaving some neighborhoods more resilient to future flooding than others. This study explores key residents, termed magnetic agents, who drove neighborhood civic action and land uses on the open space created through floodplain property acquisition. This research indicates magnetic agents can serve as important partners for local governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in building community-based projects aimed at reducing vulnerability to flood events and instituting high utility land uses on floodplain buyout open space.(C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The Modifiable Conceptual Unit Problem demonstrated using pollen and seed dispersal - Miller, Matthew D (Global Ecology and Conservation, 2016)
The Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) is a famous issue in spatial analysis that states the output of a spatial analysis is influenced by the spatial extent of the units used in the analysis. This study demonstrates that the MAUP is accompanied with another intractable spatial issue in spatial modeling; the Modifiable Conceptual Unit Problem (MCUP). The MCUP states that the conceptualization of spatial processes impacts the output of spatial analysis and occurs when a model with one spatial dimension is applied to a spatial model with more than one spatial dimension. This study demonstrates the MCUP by developing three conceptual models of dispersal and showing how they produce different results even when given the same initial dispersal curves and areal units. Three conceptual models of dispersal (sum of curve points model, area of distance range model, and the volume of distance range model) are described and applied to a grid landscape with a single point of dispersal and a grid landscape with multiple points of dispersal. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is used to evaluate how the models differ in their distribution of pollen or seeds across the landscapes. The three models of dispersal are each valid conceptualizations of the dispersal process, but when given the same dispersal curve parameters, they produce different distributions of dispersed items across grid landscapes. The sum of curve points model is the least complicated model because it only uses a few points from the defined dispersal curve. The area of distance range model uses the entire dispersal curve, but is based on a single dimension of space and thus conceptually abstracted from the grid landscape. The volume of distance range model uses the two spatial dimensions present in the grid landscape and thus is the most conceptually sound model of the three. The underlying conceptualization of the dispersal process can impact the results of dispersal models. Applying dispersal curves with one spatial dimension to grids with two spatial dimensions makes inherent assumptions about the conceptualization of dispersal. This study highlights the necessity of researchers to declare their conceptual models of dispersal when applying modeled dispersal curves to grid landscapes. © 2016 The Author.

Land use change on US floodplain buyout sites, 1990-2000 - Zavar, Elyse; Hagelman, III, Ronald R. (Disaster Prevention and Management, 2016)
Purpose - The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides guidelines for the management of open space created through property acquisition (buyouts); however, land use decisions are primarily left to local governments manifesting in a variety of uses. The purpose of this paper is to provide a land use assessment of buyout sites, to describe the changes in those uses that have occurred during a ten-year period from 1990 to 2000, and to offer an assessment of management approaches employed across these sites. Design/methodology/approach - Using a mixed-methods approach consisting of a land use classification survey and a semi-structured questionnaire of floodplain managers, this study explores the land use trends at buyout sites, diverse approaches local governments take in managing the open spaces created through floodplain buyout programs, and the successes and challenges communities face in open space management. Findings - Results indicate strong support from floodplain managers for property acquisition and several cases emerged where communities put their newly acquired public land to creative uses. However, the opportunity to leverage these properties for greater public values is largely being missed, primarily because of limited funding. Practical implications - The analysis indicates strong support among floodplain managers for the buyout approach; however, additional resource-sharing and funding opportunities are needed to increase the utility of buyout properties. Originality/value - By evaluating the long-term management strategies floodplain managers utilize on buyout sites, this study adds to an underrepresented area of scholarship and is of value to practitioners, government officials, and academics.

Forest cover change in the northeastern U.S.: A spatial assessment in the context of an environmental kuznets curve - Bentley, George C; Cromley, Robert G; Hanink, Dean M; Heidkamp, C Patrick (International Journal of Applied Geospatial Research, 2013)
An analysis of the association of forest cover, treated as an environmental good, and income at the county scale in the Northeastern United States was conducted for 2006. Global analysis using a spatial error regression model indicates an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) type of relationship, with total forest cover, percent forest cover, and forest cover per capita is better associated with per capita income and is better specified as a polynomial rather than in linear terms. Local analysis, using geographically weighted regression, indicates that sub-regional effects are pronounced, and that conformity to an EKC varies spatially and by forest cover measure.

Tax lien sales as local neoliberal governance strategy: The case of Waterbury, Connecticut - Botein, Hilary; Heidkamp, C Patrick (Local Economy, 2013)
This article examines bulk sales of municipal property tax liens in the formerly industrial city of Waterbury, Connecticut, USA, in the 1990s, in order to explore the limits and contradictions of neoliberal local governance strategies. In the USA, cities and states create property tax liens by reducing delinquent real estate taxes to a judgment that creates a legal claim against the property at issue. We argue that Waterbury's efforts to resolve its fiscal stress by enhancing short-term revenues ultimately further constrained its revenue base, the tax lien sales reflected a spatial selectivity that created barriers to revitalization when neither the city nor tax lien purchasers had incentives to foreclose on distressed properties in struggling neighborhoods, and the tax lien sales' failure to resolve the city's budget crisis set in motion new efforts at tax base enhancement through real estate-led development in the central business district that also were unsuccessful. © The Author(s) 2013 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav.

Use of aguadas as water management sources in two southern maya lowland sites - Ferrand, Ezgi Akpinar; Dunning, Nicholas P; Lentz, David L; Jones, John G (Ancient Mesoamerica, 2012)
Aguadas, either natural or human-made ponds, were significant sources of water for the ancient Maya. Aguadas are common features in the Maya Lowlands and make valuable locations for collecting archaeological and paleoenvironmental data. This article discusses research conducted at four aguadas around two adjacent Maya sites, San Bartolo and Xultun in Peten, Guatemala. Both San Bartolo and Xultun were established during the Preclassic period. However, the fates of the two sites differed, as Xultun continued to prosper while the city of San Bartolo was abandoned near the close of the Late Preclassic period. We argue that aguadas provide important clues for understanding the fate of these two ancient communities and many others in the Maya Lowlands. Copyright © 2012 Cambridge University Press.

‘Food desertification’: The loss of a major supermarket in New Haven, Connecticut - Russell, Scott E; Heidkamp, C Patrick (Applied Geography, 2011)
In March of 2010, the only full-service supermarket centrally located in New Haven, Connecticut closed, stranding many of the city's residents in a food desert. A food desert is an urban or rural area with significantly limited access to retail sources of healthy and affordable food, due to a combination of socioeconomic disadvantages and physical distance. This article considers the pivotal and causative role of the business model of supermarkets in the creation of new or exacerbation of current urban food deserts, as well as in the impact the loss of one market has on the resilience of the community's food system. Using the events of New Haven as a case study, the form and severity of the food desert in New Haven is analyzed by mapping 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and 1 mile road network service areas of the major supermarkets and grocery stores of the area. These are compared against Census block group data of the New Haven population's median household income, poverty level, and access to a personal vehicle. The results show certain parts of the city with low income, high poverty, and low vehicle access to exist in hardship outside the service areas of nearby stores. GIS methodology aids in illustrating the conclusion that the loss of just one supermarket has had significantly detrimental effects on the geographical food access of the city's residents. The ongoing lack of a full-service supermarket in the city not only raises concerns about the value of a new supermarket coming in, but also creates possibilities for seeking alternative food system solutions.

Mobility, farmworkers, and Connecticut's tobacco valley, 1900–1950 - Harrison, Blake (Journal of Historical Geography, 2010)
By the early decades of the twentieth century, southern New England's Connecticut Valley had become a center of shade tobacco production and a destination for seasonal farmworkers drawn from sources inside and outside of New England. This paper explores the history of three groups of seasonal workers-children from area cities and towns; white southern high school students: and young African American men from southern high schools and black colleges-with an eye to assessing the impact of their presence on the form and meaning of the Connecticut Valley. My first goal is to add depth to the historiography of twentieth-century New England farming by drawing attention to the largely overlooked story of non-rural and extra-regional seasonal farmworkers. My second goal is to frame the case of Connecticut tobacco labor according to the study of mobility and its relationship to landscape. The mobility of workers into and within the region, I suggest, made possible the success of the shade tobacco economy while at the same time posing challenges to popularized cultural conventions about regional identity. For this reason, I argue, the history of Connecticut's shade tobacco landscape was informed by the efforts of shade tobacco growers to direct and control a confluence of environmental conditions, group and place-based identities, and the mechanics and meanings of mobility among seasonal workers. By hiring non-local, seasonal workers and by attempting to control their mobility, large-scale, corporate growers and their spokespeople ultimately sought to maintain control over the development and identity of the valley's rural landscape.

Pain as semiosomatic force: The disarticulation and rearticulation of subjectivity - Larocco, Steve (Subjectivity, 2016)
Scarry's (The Body in Pain: The Making and Unmaking of the World, Oxford, New York, 1985) broke crucial ground in examining the antagonisms between pain, embodiment and language, and the isolating effects of pain as experience. This paper submits Scarry's claim that extreme pain destroys language, evades mediation, and isolates the subject to critical scrutiny, arguing instead that pain is a semiosomatic force, a form of feeling generated by imperative information about embodiment (real or imaginary) that works to disarticulate and move the subject and the social environment. Pain is not predominantly antagonistic to language; rather, pain insists on signifying, with language being only one of its performative media. What pain resists is representation, not the informational force exerted through language and other semiotic forms. Rather than unmaking language, pain disarticulates and rearticulates subjectivity, refashioning interrelations between the body, subjectivity, others, and culture in ongoing processes of largely aversive impingement, embroiling subjectivity with the imperative directives of embodied vulnerability. © 2016 Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

The death of blessed memory: A crisis in secular israeli identity in yaakov shabtai's "Departure" - Blackmer, Corinne E. (Cultural and Religious Studies, 2015)
Yaakov Shabtai’s “Departure” seems, at first glance, only to chronicle the illness and death of an unnamed grandmother living in Tel Aviv, as witnessed through the eyes of her grandson. The grandmother, an observant Jewish woman with socialist politics, liberal social views, and many friends, differs strikingly from her Israeli family. They are wholly secular Jews who disavow belief in religion. They observe yahrzeits, Jewish religious festivals, and holy days only as long as grandmother lives. They discontinue all Jewish observance the moment the grandmother dies, thus allegorizing a complete intergenerational break in Jewish identity. The story ends with the melancholic narrator realizing that he has no memory of the date of his grandmother’s death. This article contends that this seemingly simple narrative has profound historical and referential meanings. The story functions as an allegorical critique of escalating social and religious divisions in Israel, as well as the implications of the loss of Jewish religion on Jewish identity. “Departure” reveals that the process of dis-identification and post-Zionism begins with the family: symbolically with the figure of the grandmother, whose peaceful, sociable identity stands in peril of becoming removed from the possibilities of her mode of Jewish being influencing future generations.

Invisible debility: attitudes toward the underrepresented in library workplaces - Brown, Mary E (Public Library Quarterly, 2015)
The American Library Association is committed to recruiting persons of color and those with disabilities to the profession, yet these groups are underrepresented among librarians. While intentional discrimination was the impetus for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, empirical studies in the workplace have exposed continued discrimination through unconscious bias. Extending such research to the library profession raises the question: How do librarians perceive the underrepresented as potential fellow library staff? In my recently conducted study of public library staff and future librarians, participants agreed that library staff should represent the diversity of the communities served; there was little support, however, for actively attempting to advance proportional representation through education or hiring. © , Published with license by Taylor & Francis.

Is Personality a System? Stability, Process and Plasticity. - Larocco, Steven (Integrative psychological & behavioral science, 2015)
The nomothetic thrust of personality research has been the subject of some significant recent criticism. One major problem is the failure in much personality research to sufficiently scrutinize its methods and its background beliefs. This produces conceptual schematizations of personality that do not sufficiently take into account the disunity and plasticity that affects what is construed as personality; it also underplays the necessity of more fully theorizing the network of infrapsychic and transpersonal systems, processes, structures, templates, interfaces, flows of stimuli, qualities of embodiment and contingencies that dynamically manifest as personality. It is through unfolding the complexity inherent in this network that personality theorization can move forward in new ways. This paper provides a provisional, beginning taxonomy of this network in order to start a research dialogue about personality that doesn't begin with the operative background beliefs of nomothetic methodology, that doesn't tacitly or overtly construe the individual to be a self-regulating, homeostatic system, and that resists presupposing personality as a cohesive, stable quality of personhood.

Ideology, affect, semiotics: towards a non-personal theory of personality. - Larocco, Steve (Integrative psychological & behavioral science, 2014)
Personality theories, as Giordano (2014) argues, often treat Western versions of the self as having universal import. Eastern notions of self, however, offer a dramatically different basis for thinking about what personality might be. This paper, nonetheless, seeks to offer a general framework for theorizing about the epiphenomenon of personality in any culture, asserting that it is an effect of specific histories of ideological practices, semiotic networks and systems, and affect, which engage each other in dialogic and dialectical ways. The interactions of these factors, guided by ideology, regularize behavior and affective dynamics, largely in non-personal ways. Subjects are produced and reproduced from these complex interactions, which are situationally specific and simultaneously transpersonal. The subjects formed through these interactions are the basis for the folk psychology of personality, which treats the transient, varying effects of these interactions as more or less reified qualities that form a basis for the construction of selfhood, however conceived.
