Japanese Women's Attitudes Toward Learning Languages Other Than English in the Era of Global English

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study on female Japanese learners of the Korean language is situated in the centuries‐long anti‐Korean sentiments in Japan, the global popularity of the Korean Wave, particularly among women, and the essentialized image of socially marginalized young Japanese women who study English with romantic desires for Western men.

Dose-Escalated Hypofractionated Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy in High-Risk Carcinoma of the Prostate: Outcome and Late Toxicity

Prostate Cancer, 2012
Background. The benefit of dose-escalated hypofractionated radiotherapy using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in prostate cancer is not established. We report 5-year outcome and long-term toxicity data within a phase II clinical trial.

Sarcopenia in cancer: Risking more than muscle loss

Technical Innovations & Patient Support in Radiation Oncology, 2020
Sarcopenia is characterised by progressive and extensive skeletal muscle degeneration and is associated with functional decline. Sarcopenia has primary and secondary aetiology, arising as a result of the ageing process or through chronic cytokine ...

New Q matrices and their functional equations for the eight vertex model at elliptic roots of unity

, 2008
The Q matrix invented by Baxter in 1972 to solve the eight vertex model at roots of unity exists for all values of N, the number of sites in the chain, but only for a subset of roots of unity. We show in this paper that a new Q matrix, which has recently

Parametrising arbitrary galaxy morphologies: potentials and pitfalls [PDF]

, 2010
We demonstrate that morphological observables (e.g. steepness of the radial light profile, ellipticity, asymmetry) are intertwined and cannot be measured independently of each other.

Population and herbarium genomics provide a comprehensive framework for a revision of Microcoleus (Cyanobacteria)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microcoleus is a cosmopolitan, filamentous cyanobacterium and a key component of biological soil crusts—complex microbial communities essential for primary production in diverse terrestrial environments. Here, we performed a taxonomic revision of several species of Microcoleus based on a large population genomic dataset.

Mass dependence of the hairpin vertex in quenched QCD

, 2003
The pseudoscalar ``hairpin'' vertex (i.e. quark-disconnected vertex) plays a key role in quenched chiral perturbation theory. Direct calculations using lattice simulations find that it has a significant dependence on quark mass.

N=2 supersymmetric QCD and elliptic potentials [PDF]

, 2014
We investigate the relation between the four dimensional N=2 SU(2) super Yang-Mills theory with four fundamental flavors and the quantum mechanics model with Treibich-Verdier potential described by the Heun equation in the elliptic form.

Home Safe Home: Safety Gains Through Telework During the Covid‐19 Pandemic

LABOUR, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper exploits exogenous shifts in work organisation during the Covid‐19 pandemic to study the implications of hybrid and remote work arrangements on occupational safety. Combining accident registers and household survey microdata from Hungary, we are able to address potential selection and reporting bias, and reliably identify the ...
