Boxed In: Beliefs About The Compatibility And Likability Of Mother-Occupation And Father-Occupation Role Combinations, Mary C. Noonan, Freda B. Lynn, Mark H. Walker Jan 2020

Boxed In: Beliefs About The Compatibility And Likability Of Mother-Occupation And Father-Occupation Role Combinations, Mary C. Noonan, Freda B. Lynn, Mark H. Walker

Faculty Publications

Researchers have long noted that role expectations of a “good” mother conflict with those of a “good” worker, described as the “cultural contradiction” of motherhood. But given that work roles vary tremendously in terms of the cultural meanings the public assigns them, the authors examine variability in the perceived compatibility of mother-occupation and father-occupation combinations. Building on previous research, the authors hypothesize that (1) some parent-occupation pairings will be viewed as significantly less compatible because of incongruent expectations and meanings, and (2) incumbents of supposedly compatible parent-occupation pairings will be evaluated more favorably than incumbents of incompatible pairings. Both hypotheses …

Gender Contexts, Dowry And Women's Health In India: A National Multilevel Longitudinal Analysis, Samuel Stroope, Rhiannon A. Kroeger, Jiabin Fan

Faculty Publications

Gender-biased contexts may impact women's lives across a variety of domains. This study examined whether changes in district prevalence of a salient gendered practice - dowry - are associated with changes in poor health for women in India. Two waves of national multilevel panel data were used to assess the relationship between changes in district-level dowry prevalence and changes in self-rated health for 23,785 ever-married women aged 15-50 years. Increased dowry prevalence was found to be associated with increased poor self-rated health for women. This relationship remained when controlling for potentially confounding factors including household socioeconomic status, caste, infrastructure, mobility …

With increasing demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) fresh vegetables, it is important to understand how visual information cues, both intrinsic and extrinsic, affect consumer perception of these products. This study developed an emotional and wellness lexicon related to RTE salads. Subsequent questionnaires with images of salads were used to quantify consumer (N = 150) emotional and hedonic perceptions related to green color shade, shape/size of pieces, multicolor scheme, product name, and packaging. The different visual cues significantly impacted emotions and their intensities. Qualitatively, feelings of health and wellness predominated across salad samples. Negative emotions were more influenced by size of piece …

Genetic Mapping Identifies Consistent Quantitative Trait Loci For Yield Traits Of Rice Under Greenhouse Drought Conditions, Niranjan Baisakh, Jonalyn Yabes, Andres Gutierrez, Venkata Mangu, Peiyong Ma, Adam Famoso, Andy Pereira

Faculty Publications

Improving drought resistance in crops is imperative under the prevailing erratic rainfall patterns. Drought affects the growth and yield of most modern rice varieties. Recent breeding efforts aim to incorporate drought resistance traits in rice varieties that can be suitable under alternative irrigation schemes, such as in a (semi)aerobic system, as row (furrow-irrigated) rice. The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling grain yield, the most important trait with high selection efficiency, can lead to the identification of markers to facilitate marker-assisted breeding of drought-resistant rice. Here, we report grain yield QTLs under greenhouse drought using an F2:3 population derived …

Seeking Competitive Advantage Through Platform-Enabled Resources: The Case Of Food Delivery Platforms, Joaquin Rodriguez, Gabriele Piccoli Jan 2020

Seeking Competitive Advantage Through Platform-Enabled Resources: The Case Of Food Delivery Platforms, Joaquin Rodriguez, Gabriele Piccoli

Faculty Publications

As digital platforms become increasingly ubiquitous, firms in a wide array of industries face the decision of whether to join them and how to compete within them. The information systems field is in a unique position to theorize and investigate how platform participants can use broadly available digital platform resources in order to achieve, and possibly sustain, competitive advantage. We empirically investigate the theoretical proposition that restaurants joining the food delivery digital platform can compete by leveraging a specific emergent capability we call platform-fulfillment capability. Our results indicate that differentiation and competitive advantage are possible, even though all platform participants …

Reducible Fermi Surfaces For Non-Symmetric Bilayer Quantum-Graph Operators, Stephen P. Shipman Jan 2020

Reducible Fermi Surfaces For Non-Symmetric Bilayer Quantum-Graph Operators, Stephen P. Shipman

Faculty Publications

This work constructs a class of non-symmetric periodic Schrödinger operators on metric graphs (quantum graphs) whose Fermi, or Floquet, surface is reducible. The Floquet surface at an energy level is an algebraic set that describes all complex wave vectors admissible by the periodic operator at the given energy. The graphs in this study are obtained by coupling two identical copies of a periodic quantum graph by edges to form a bilayer graph. Reducibility of the Floquet surface for all energies ensues when the coupling edges have potentials belonging to the same asymmetry class. The notion of asymmetry class is defined …

Mass Concentration And Size Distribution Of Particles Released From Harvesting And Biomass Burning Of Sugarcane, Sanku Dattamudi, Jim J. Wang, Syam K. Dodla, Ronald Delaune, April Hiscox, Howard Viator, Changyoon Jeong

Faculty Publications

We evaluated size distribution and mass concentrations of fine (particulate matter < 2.5 μm, PM2.5) and coarse (particulate matter = 2.5–10 μm, PM2.5-10) particles released during sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) harvesting operations, including cutting of green cane (GH), burning of standing cane (SB), cane harvest cutting after SB (BH), and ground burning of harvest residues left in the field (GB). Total number of PM2.5 released from GB was 1.63 times greater than that from SB. Total time of burning (flaming + smoldering) phase during GB was 1.5 to 2.1 times longer than SB. The flaming phase for both GB and SB was shorter than the smoldering phase but emitted 5.2 to 7.5 times more PM2.5. Average particle density of PM2.5 from burning operations was 1.12 g cm−3 for GB and 0.52 g cm−3 for SB. The GH and BH released lower PM2.5 but higher PM2.5-10 as compared to SB and GB. Overall, biomass burning, regardless GB and SB difference, released significantly higher PM2.5 than harvest-cutting operations.

Establishment Clause Jurisprudence Still Groping For Clarity: Articulating A New Constitutional Model, Patrick Garry Jan 2020

Establishment Clause Jurisprudence Still Groping For Clarity: Articulating A New Constitutional Model, Patrick Garry

Faculty Publications

In previous cases, the endorsement test had often been used to determine whether religious expression or symbols on public property violated the Establishment Clause. However, in American Legion v. American Humanist Ass'n, the Court turned to an historical traditions test, casting doubt on the future legitimacy of the endorsement test and the broader and older Lemon test, which has in recent years fallen into disfavor with the Court, given its foundations in the controversial Wall of Separation metaphor. Even though the American Legion Court upheld the religious symbol at issue, it did so on such narrow grounds as to give …

The Erosion Of Common Law Privacy And Defamation: Reconsidering The Law’S Balancing Of Speech, Privacy And Reputation, Patrick Garry Jan 2020

The Erosion Of Common Law Privacy And Defamation: Reconsidering The Law’S Balancing Of Speech, Privacy And Reputation, Patrick Garry

Faculty Publications

Privacy and reputation have come under siege because of new technologies, the general communications practices of society, and the changing journalism environment. At the same time, the common law's ability to provide an effective remedy for privacy and reputation harms has diminished. A major reason for this shortcoming is that the common law does not give enough weight to privacy and reputation when balanced against speech interests. Even in common law torts, where the constitutional protections of speech may not apply-free speech is seen as a vital foundation in the structure of democratic society. This Article argues that privacy and …

When Anti-Establishment Becomes Exclusion: The Supreme Court’S Opinion In The American Legion V. American Humanist Association, And The Flip Side Of The Endorsement Test, Patrick Garry Jan 2020

When Anti-Establishment Becomes Exclusion: The Supreme Court’S Opinion In The American Legion V. American Humanist Association, And The Flip Side Of The Endorsement Test, Patrick Garry

Faculty Publications

In The American Legion v. American Humanist Association, the Court addressed the Establishment Clause issues surrounding a longstanding Latin cross veteran’s memorial located on public property.  Although the Court upheld the memorial with a narrow ruling, an unresolved issue lurking beneath the surface of passive display cases like American Legion is whether a government dismantling of a longstanding religious symbol might itself, under certain circumstances, constitute an independent Establishment Clause violation.  Such a dismantling of a religious symbol built decades earlier before the property became publicly owned might well be considered a government act hostile to religion, especially as America …

Toeplitz Operators On The Domain (Formula Presented)- With (Formula Presented)-Invariant Symbols, Matthew Dawson, Gestur Ólafsson, Raul Quiroga-Barranco Jan 2020

Toeplitz Operators On The Domain (Formula Presented)- With (Formula Presented)-Invariant Symbols, Matthew Dawson, Gestur Ólafsson, Raul Quiroga-Barranco

Faculty Publications

Let D be the irreducible bounded symmetric domain of 2 × 2 complex matrices that satisfy ZZ* < I2. The biholomorphism group of D is realized by U(2, 2) with isotropy at the origin given by U(2) ×U(2). Denote by (Formula Presented) the subgroup of diagonal matrices in U(2). We prove that the set of (Formula Presented)-invariant essentially bounded symbols yield Toeplitz operators that generate commutative C*-algebras on all weighted Bergman spaces over D. Using tools from representation theory, we also provide an integral formula for the spectra of these Toeplitz operators.
