Exact Lagrangian Fillings of Legendrian links and Weinstein 4-manifolds
… certain immersed exact Lagrangian fillings.Weinstein domains are examples of a symplectic manifold with contact boundary that have a handle decomposition compatible with the symplectic structure of the manifold. Weinstein $4$-dimensional domains can be represented with Weinstein handlebody …

Getting a handle on contact manifolds
… by Giroux. The theory is analogous to that of Weinstein manifolds in symplectic geometry, with the key difference that the vector field does not necessarily have positive divergence everywhere. The surgery theory for contact manifolds contains the surgery theory for Weinstein manifolds via a …

#MeToo media and Hollywood: challenging sexual violence in film and television and the limits of media industries
… news reports exposed media mogul Harvey Weinstein as a sexual predator in 2017, there has been an influx of narrative film and television texts that address the #MeToo movement—both implicitly and explicitly—in their narratives. Taken together, these texts make up a distinct cycle of film …

Integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Transtheoretical Model: A Prospective Study of Lifestyle Activity
… activity participation as a true stage behavior (Weinstein, Rothman, & Sutton, 1998). The mediational role of planned behavior constructs was supported and may aid in the assessment and development of future interventions. The results also supported the relationship between lifestyle activity and …

Loss of protective foot sensation and shoe wearing habits in persons with Diabetes Mellitus
… sensation was assessed using the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament. Feet were measured with a Brannock device and linear measures of length and width were obtained for each foot and shoe. Footwear appropriateness was measured with the_ Footwear Appropriateness Scale. Descriptive findings …

Distinguishing open symplectic mapping tori via their wrapped Fukaya categories
… an application, we obtain pairs of diffeomorphic Weinstein domains with the same contact boundary and symplectic cohomology, but that are different as Liouville domains. This work consists of two parts: in the first part, we define an algebraic model for the wrapped Fukaya category of the open …

The Impact of Early Teacher Bias and Academic Risk on Children’s Current and Future Academic Achievement
… child academic achievement levels (Alvidrez & Weinstein, 1999; Hamre & Pianta, 2001; Hinnant et al., 2009; Ready & Wright, 2011). However, very few studies extend beyond describing associations between academic risk, teacher bias and academic achievement to analyze whether there is a causal …

Perception of Risk of Depression: The Influence of Optimistic Bias in a Non-Clinical Population of Women
… the perspective of optimistic bias. The work of Weinstein (1980) and Moore and Rosenthal (1996) identify factors such as perceived seriousness, perceived control, stereotyping, perceived commonness, knowledge of a sufferer, perceived knowledge of the illness and attitude to the illness, as …

A study of the computation and convergence behavior of eigenvalue bounds for self-adjoint operators
The convergence rates for the method of Weinstein and a variant method of Aronszajn known as "truncation including the remainder" are derived in terms of the containment gaps between exact and approximating subspaces, using analytical techniques that arise in part in the convergence analysis of …

Comparison of a Four 40-Yard Sprint Test for Anaerobic Capacity in Males Vs. the Wingate Anaerobic Test
… (Bar-Or, 1987; Hoffman, Epstein, Einbinder, & Weinstein, 2000; Sands et al, 2004). The WAT is a cycle-based test however. Sprint-based field tests are more practical to administer and are more specific to the requirements of many sports, but the standards used are anecdotal, and while shown to …

Variétés de produits d'importations et gains du commerce international dans un régime de concurrence monopolistique
… Depuis les travaux de Feenstra (1994) et Broda & Weinstein (2006), un large éventail d’études empiriques, appliquent le modèle de concurrence monopolistique à Élasticité de Substitution Constante (CES), bien que certains travaux théoriques aient montré les limites de ce modèle. Ce mémoire, …

An exploratory investigation of the interactional patterns of grandparents and college-age grandchildren
… to the five styles described by Neugarten and Weinstein (1964). The Formal Style was most frequently identified, however, this difference was not statistically significant at the .O5 level. Grandparent health, as well as sex and sibling position of the grandchild were found to significantly …

An exploration of the experiences of being involved with psychiatric services and psychiatric admission for individuals with psychosis: an interpretative phenomenological analysis
… favourable attitudes towards hospital settings (Weinstein, 1979) but more recently, evidence from service user feedback has indicated the experience of psychiatric admission can be felt to be neither safe nor therapeutic (Department of Health, 2002). There has been lack of qualitative research …

Performance bounds on matched-field methods for source localization and estimation of ocean environmental parameters
… Two large-error performance bounds, the Weiss-Weinstein bound (WWB) and Ziv-Zakai bound (ZZB), are derived for the attainable accuracy of matched-field methods. To include mismatch effects, a modified version of the ZZB is proposed. Performance analyses are implemented for source localization …

Testing a Biopsychosocial Model of Perceived Racism Among Latinos
… (Berwick, Murphy, Goldman, Ware, Barsky, & Weinstein, 1991), the Physical Symptoms Index (Moos, Cronkite, Billings, & Finney, 1985). Using path analysis, findings provided empirical support for the proposed model. Specific pathways suggested that social class and skin tone predicted …

Pataxó Hãhãhãe: Race, Indigeneity and Language Revitalization in the Brazilian Northeast
… to be “the most ‘African’ state in Brazil” (Weinstein 2015:226). Language is central to my approach. I compare the under-documented Hãhãhãe language with the Maxakalí language; explore the possibility that Hãhãhãe is a mixed language; and reconstruct some morphosyntactic and lexical aspects …

It’s how you said it and what I heard: a comparison of motivational and emotional tone of voice
