    Adolescent body dissatisfaction and the media

    In this paper, an examination of the correlation between the use of sexual images in advertising and feelings of discontent with body image in adolescent girls will take place. It is this author’s opinion that the over-use of sexual images in advertising negatively effects how young girls perceive their bodies. This author’s research question examined whether the increased use of sex as an advertising tool is associated with the way that an adolescent girl perceives her own body. A literature search was also completed in which it was found that there is significant evidence to support this author’s claim. A broad internet search was done to obtain the most common keywords, and then a more in-depth search was done to find appropriate articles.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Lisa M.

    Laser ranging and communications for LISA

    The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will use Time Delay Interferometry (TDI) to suppress the otherwise dominant laser frequency noise. The technique uses sub-sample interpolation of the recorded optical phase measurements to form a family of interferometric combinations immune to frequency noise. This paper reports on the development of a Pseudo-Random Noise laser ranging system used to measure the sub-sample interpolation time shifts required for TDI operation. The system also includes an optical communication capability that meets the 20 kbps LISA requirement. An experimental demonstration of an integrated LISA phase measurement and ranging system achieved a ≈ 0.19 m rms absolute range error with a 0.5Hz signal bandwidth, surpassing the 1 m rms LISA specification. The range measurement is limited by mutual interference between the ranging signals exchanged between spacecraft and the interaction of the ranging code with the phase measurement.This research was supported under Australian Research Council’s Discovery Projects funding scheme (project number DP0986003)

    Socially innovative and commercially viable: Partners or prisoners of future business developments

    There is a growing need for supply chain partners to work together in improving their performance and systems of operation. New information and communication technologies can be used to improve operations and facilitate the building of closer relationships, but they can also serve to undermine relations and create tensions. RFID represents the first major improvement traceability technology that potentially supersedes barcodes and our study seeks to develop a simulation model that moves beyond a purely technical analysis, towards an assessment that is able to accommodate the social and cultural dimensions in providing a dynamic roadmap for change.Patrick M.

    Local indications of spatial association (LISA).

    Examples of LISA statistics shown for three feature sets (T, T+EDFs, T+NN, T+SL) within the SAOS sub-dataset using the RF model. These feature sets show that the spatial lag feature engineering approach reduces the degree of spatial autocorrelation in the predictions compared to when only terrain/spectral features are used in the modelling.</p

    Electromagnetic Characterization of the LISA Verification Binary ZTF J0526+5934

    © 2023. The Author(s). Published by the American Astronomical Society. cc-byWe present an analysis of new and archival data to the 20.506 minute LISA verification binary J052610.42+593445.32 (J0526+5934). Our joint spectroscopic and photometric analysis finds that the binary contains an unseen M 1 = 0.89 ± 0.11 M ⊙ CO-core white dwarf primary with an M 2 = 0.38 ± 0.07 M ⊙ post-core-burning subdwarf, or low-mass white dwarf, companion. Given the short orbital period and relatively large total binary mass, we find that LISA will detect this binary with signal-to-noise ratio 44 after 4 yr of observations. J0526+5934 is expected to merge within 1.8 ± 0.3 Myr and likely result in a D6 scenario Type Ia supernova or form a He-rich star that will evolve into a massive single white dwarf
