Adolescent body dissatisfaction and the media
No full textIn 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. Forber

Electromagnetic Characterization of the LISA Verification Binary ZTF J0526+5934
No full text© 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

Spacecraft and interplanetary contributions to the magnetic environment on-board LISA pathfinder

The version of record Armano, Michele, et al. "Spacecraft and interplanetary contributions to the magnetic environment on-board LISA Pathfinder." Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 494.2 (2020): 3014-3027. is available online at: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article-abstract/494/2/3014/5822062?redirectedFrom=fulltextLISA Pathfinder (LPF) has been a space-based mission designed to test new technologies that will be required for a gravitational wave observatory in space. Magnetically driven forces play a key role in the instrument sensitivity in the low-frequency regime (mHz and below), the measurement band of interest for a space-based observatory. The magnetic field can couple to the magnetic susceptibility and remanent magnetic moment from the test masses and disturb them from their geodesic movement. LPF carried on-board a dedicated magnetic measurement subsystem with noise levels of 10 nT Hz-1/2 from 1 Hz down to 1 mHz. In this paper we report on the magnetic measurements throughout LPF operations. We characterize the magnetic environment within the spacecraft, study the time evolution of the magnetic field and its stability down to 20 µHz, where we measure values around 200 nT Hz-1/2¿, and identify two different frequency regimes, one related to the interplanetary magnetic field and the other to the magnetic field originating inside the spacecraft. Finally, we characterize the non-stationary component of the fluctuations of the magnetic field below the mHz and relate them to the dynamics of the solar wind.This work has been made possible by the LISA Pathfindermission, which is part of the space-science program ofthe European Space Agency.

Conversations about Inclusion: Connecting Mainstream and ESL
No full textIn the past few years, inclusion or collaboration has become the English as a second
Language (ESL) model used by several schools and districts, including the St. Paul Public
Schools, which has increasingly closed the achievement gap for its ESL population.
Though there are drawbacks and potential problems with this model, the author and her
colleagues have found its application successful in their elementary school. Examples of
how inclusion works in various elementary classroom settings end the report. The
following is based on a presentation given by the author and her co-worker, Becky
(Bonertz) Gibson, at the 2006 MinneTESOL Conference, as well as at a 2007 meeting for
the University of Minnesota’s TEAM UP (Teaching English Language Learners Action
Model to Unite Professionals) development program.Simons, Lisa M. Bolt. (2008). Conversations about Inclusion: Connecting Mainstream and ESL. Retrieved from the University Digital Conservancy, https://hdl.handle.net/11299/109953
Different Dialects - a World Conversation on Work Integrated learning
