Relationship between cognitive inhibition and extraversion/introversion, The

The purpose of this study was to analyze the visual and textual content presented on the covers of Seventeen magazines published between 1997 and 2007. Seventeen is the most widely read magazine among adolescent females today (SRDS, 2002); research suggests that young readers look to this publication for ideas about who to be and how to look (Duffy and Gotcher, 1996). Covers were chosen for analysis because they represent an index to the information included within the magazine and serve as an advertisement for the sale of the publication. Since young people look to Seventeen magazine for insight on how to look and act, it is important to be aware of what they are being told and shown.College Honors

An Atlas of Warm AGN and Starbursts from the IRAS Deep Fields

We present 180 AGN candidates based on color selection from the IRAS slow-scan deep observations, with color criteria broadened from the initial Point-Source Catalog samples to include similar objects with redshifts up to z=1 and allowing for two-band detections. Spectroscopic identifications have been obtained for 80 (44%); some additional ones are secure based on radio detections or optical morphology, although yet unobserved spectroscopically. These spectroscopic identifications include 13 Sy 1 galaxies, 17 Sy 2 Seyferts, 29 starbursts, 7 LINER systems, and 13 emission-line galaxies so heavily reddened as to remain of ambiguous classification. The optical magnitudes range from R=12.0-20.5; counts suggest that incompleteness is important fainter than R=15.5. Redshifts extend to z=0.51, with a significant part of the sample at z>0.2. The sample includes slightly more AGN than star-forming systems among those where the spectra contain enough diagnostic feature to make the distinction. The active nuclei include several broad-line objects with strong Fe II emission, and composite objects with the absorption-line signatures of fading starbursts. These AGN with warm far-IR colors have little overlap with the "red AGN" identified with 2MASS; only a single Sy 1 was detected by 2MASS with J-K > 2. Some reliable IRAS detections have either very faint optical counterparts or only absorption-line galaxies, potentially being deeply obscured AGN. The IRAS detections include a newly identified symbiotic star, and several possible examples of the "Vega phenomenon", including dwarfs as cool as type K. Appendices detail these candidate stars, and the optical-identification content of a particularly deep set of high-latitude IRAS scans (probing the limits of optical identification from IRAS data alone).Comment: ApJ Suppl, in press.

The impact of complex, multi-hazard volcanic eruptions on interdependent, distributed infrastructure networks

Volcanic impact and risk assessment underpins effective volcanic risk management and volcanic risk reduction. Growing urbanisation and development in active volcanic regions therefore necessitates robust, applicable volcanic impact and risk assessment. Volcanic risk is driven by the interaction between the complex, multi-hazard, multi-phase volcanic system, and the equally complex societal systems exposed. These dynamic volcanic risk drivers are generally well-understood, or at least can be well-identified, but they have proven hard to quantify and incorporate into volcanic impact and risk assessment frameworks. Volcanic multi-hazards can cause a variety of impacts to critical infrastructure networks, which underpin the everyday operations and well-being of society. These impacts range from highly damaging to mildly disruptive, and have the potential to provoke widespread systemic impact to infrastructure networks far beyond the hazard extent. Current methods for volcanic impact assessment are limited by their generally single-phase, single-hazard perspective. They are further limited by their static, one-dimensional incorporation of exposure and vulnerability, despite recognition of the dynamic properties of these risk drivers. A more holistic approach is required to begin to investigate the interaction of the complex volcanic and complex infrastructure systems. Complex multi-scale challenges of this nature are increasingly being addressed by bringing scientists and practitioners together to collaborate in the production of disaster risk reduction (DRR) knowledge and disaster risk management (DRM) strategies. Volcanic impact assessments can serve as effective ‘boundary objects’, which help facilitate this collaboration between science, policy and practice. This thesis presents a dynamic impact assessment framework for multi-hazard, multi-phase volcanic eruptions, through the lens of systemic risk to critical infrastructure networks. In order to develop this framework, the need was identified for 1) the development of a modular framework for multi- phase, multi-hazard volcanic eruption scenarios and 2) a methodology for the quantification of systemic vulnerability of critical infrastructure networks. The frameworks and tools developed were applied to the Taranaki region of Aotearoa-New Zealand, where Taranaki Maunga volcano is surrounded by distributed infrastructure networks of regional and national importance. This thesis presents a multi-phase, multi-hazard volcanic eruption scenario suite for Taranaki Maunga that is scientifically credible, meets stakeholder needs, and is representative of the range of possible hazard outcomes of the next eruptive episode. This thesis also quantifies the systemic vulnerability of distributed infrastructure in the Taranaki region, identifies areas or assets of high systemic vulnerability, and presents a tool for the rapid determination of network disruption under different volcanic regimes. Finally, this thesis presents a suite of dynamic volcanic multi-hazard impact scenarios for Taranaki Maunga that allow for the testing of mitigative strategies through the inclusion of risk management actions as modules in the framework. This thesis demonstrates the efficacy of co- creative volcanic risk research, and shows that the timing of risk management decisions under volcanic uncertainty is an important driver of volcanic risk. This work was undertaken in close partnership with local stakeholders, predominantly emergency managers and lifelines managers, who were collaborators and active participants at each step of the research timeline, ensuring the relevance and usability of the research conducted. The findings of this thesis are framed and informed by global best-practice regarding DRR and DRM, including the strong inclusion of local stakeholder knowledge. The approaches and frameworks presented here have implications for enhancing volcanic risk reduction and management globally. They also provide a valuable resource for planning for and responding to an eruption of Taranaki Maunga. This body of work allows the assessment and characterisation of volcanic risk in the Taranaki region of Aotearoa-New Zealand. This work also enhances the ongoing collaboration between scientists and practitioners to assess, reduce and manage volcanic risk. This thesis has addressed the identified need for an initial investigation into the dynamic properties of volcanic multi-hazard risk and the drivers of volcanic and systemic risk during multi-phase volcanism

Ancient Rigor with a little Modern Delight: Romano Micheli and The Psalms of the Office of Vespers (1610)

This work presents a first modern edition of the premier opus of the prominent seventeenthcentury contrapuntist and polemicist, Romano Micheli. Several pieces in original notation, a collection of options for different voicings, and editions for male and female voices are presented. The Roman context and the personal, social and religious factors impacting the composer are investigated. The inclusion of instructions for the use of Micheli’s psalmi by nuns demands investigation of nuns and their music. The analysis of compositional techniques reveals a gradual adaptation of traditional musical language. This sophisticated work uses complex compositional techniques built on the foundations of the ‘Ancient Rigor’ of Renaissance modal counterpoint with added elements of ‘Modern Delight’

Uterine Artery Embolization following Cesarean Delivery but prior to Hysterectomy in the Management of Patients with Invasive Placenta.

PURPOSE: To evaluate outcomes of patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders who underwent uterine artery embolization (UAE) following cesarean delivery but before hysterectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of patients with PAS treated with cesarean-hysterectomy (C-hyst) was performed. Patients in the UAE group underwent UAE after cesarean delivery but before hysterectomy; patients in the control group underwent C-hyst alone. Estimated blood loss (EBL), transfusion requirements, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS: The study included 31 patients, 7 in the UAE group and 24 in the control group. Median EBL, transfusion requirements, and length of ICU stay in the UAE group compared with control group were 1,500 mL (range, 500-2,000 mL) vs 2,000 mL (range, 1,000-4,500 mL) (P = .04), 150 mL (range, 0-650 mL) vs 550 mL (range, 0-3,125 mL) (P = .10), and 0 d (range, 0-1 d) vs 0.5 d (range, 0-2 d) (P = .07). All patients in the UAE group had placenta increta; patients in the control group had placenta accreta (29%), increta (54%), and percreta (17%) (P = .10). Subgroup analysis of patients with placenta increta demonstrated that the UAE group had a significant decrease in median EBL (P = .004), transfusion requirements (P = .009), and length of ICU stay (P = .04). No adverse events following UAE were noted. CONCLUSIONS: UAE following cesarean delivery but before hysterectomy in patients with placenta increta appears to be safe and effective in decreasing EBL, transfusion requirements, and length of ICU stay compared with C-hyst alone

Testing the Sersic bulge: black hole mass relation in Seyfert galaxies

Using a sample of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), we investigated the relationship between host galaxy and black hole mass using the Sérsic index. We performed two-dimensional (2-D) decompositions of high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope images of (AGN) using GALFIT 3 beta. Taking independent mass estimates for a subsample of the selected galaxies, we test both linear and quadratic regressions in order to find an optimal relation for estimating black hole mass in other galaxies. Our results show that there was little difference between the linear and higher order fits. We examine the effects of these analysis techniques on the black hole mass to luminosity relationship. Application of the data was also looked at concerning properties of pseudo- and classical bulges. (Published By University of Alabama Libraries
