Does dichotomy of active galactic nuclei only depend on black hole spins? [PDF]

Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 357 (2005) 1155-1160, 2004
A toy model for jet powers and radio loudness of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is proposed based on the coexistence of the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) and magnetic coupling (MC) processes (CEBZMC) in black hole (BH) accretion disc. It turns out that both the jet powers and radio-loudness of AGNs are controlled by more than one physical parameter besides the ...

Beyond administrative burden: Activation and administrative harm

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
Abstract Within recent public policy and administration scholarship, there has been a growing focus on the concept of “administrative burden” to describe the learning, compliance and psychological costs incurred by citizens when trying to access services and exercise social and political rights. Specifically, in the context of activation and welfare‐to‐

Loudness (annoyance), prediction procedure for steady sounds [PDF]

, 1972
Method has been devised to predict loudness level of any steady sound solely from its measured power spectrum level. Method is based on assumption that, with respect to loudness sensation, the human auditory system acts as open-loop transmission system ...

Care Leavers Into Parenthood: Support Needs and Effective Practice Approaches Through Transitions From Care

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is significant local and international evidence to show that young people transitioning from care have children by age 21 at far higher rates than the general youth population. Intergenerational child protection involvement is also far higher for this group.

The Meaning of Home for Children and Young People After Parental Separation: Key Insights for Practice

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article draws on a recent study of the meaning of home for children and young people after parental separation to provide a way of shifting adult attention beyond prevailing focus on the amount of time children spend with each parent, towards a greater attentiveness to children and young people's views on how their living arrangements ...

Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.
