Vacua Analysis in Extended Supersymmetry Compactifications

We analyse geometric type IIA flux compactifications leading to N=4 gauged supergravities in four dimensions. The complete landscape of isotropic vacua is presented, which turns out to belong to a unique theory. The solutions admit an uplift to maximal supergravity due to the vanishing of the flux-induced tadpoles for all the supersymmetry-breaking branes. Such an uplift is sketched out and the full N=8 mass spectra are discussed. We find the interesting presence of a non-supersymmetric and nevertheless stable minimum.Comment: 7 pages, contribution to the proceedings of the XVII European Workshop on String Theory, Padua 201

ConnorSchon.com: An Online Mixing Portfolio

ConnorSchon.com is a mixing and engineering website showcasing Connor Schon’s portfolio, services offered, biography, contact information, and recording journal. It was a challenge to design the website, but moreover to make sure the six new songs for the portfolio material were properly recorded and mixed with the scarce studio time and poorly designed recording spaces at Berklee Valencia. The website will continue to be revised and updated with Connor’s newest material and used as the launching point for his freelance career.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-production-technology/1149/thumbnail.jp

Women\u27s Status and Roles in Contemporary Japanese Society

The combination of modernization and industrialization and the persistence of traditional attitudes serves to create a unique set of tensions and strains within the Japanese social system. The position of women is one such area in which the conflicting demands of this system are especially evident. Women in contemporary Japanese society are still expected to be good wives and mothers yet they are also often required to participate in the workforce in an economy beset by spiraling inflation. Even those women who are not forced to work by necessity have found that the importance of their wife/mother role has been significantly reduced by demographic and technological changes. The tension affecting women\u27s status and roles within contemporary Japanese society is the focus of this paper. I will use Wilbert Moore\u27s theory of social change, concentrating on the concomitants and consequences of industrialization and modernization to analyze the processes and effects of social change on women\u27s roles and status, and to construct a hypothesis concerning the future roles of women
