Designing for a wider range of population has recently been propagated by new design philosophies and approaches such as Universal Design, Design for All and Inclusive Design. Compared with the other two approaches, Inclusive Design approach seems to be more practical in that it provides a framework for implementation (Keates et al., 2000). It also features a gradual strategy, which incorporate...

The way media depict women and men can reinforce or diminish gender stereotyping. Which part does language play in this context? Are roles perceived as more gender-balanced when feminine role nouns are used in addition to masculine ones? Research on gender-inclusive language shows that the use of feminine-masculine word pairs tends to increase the visibility of women in various social roles. Fo...

In this paper, we evaluate the expectation values of four-quark operators for the inclusive beauty decays from the differences in the inclusive total decay rates, assuming that the heavy quark expansion converges at O(1/m). The obtained expectation values values yeilds the ratio τ(Λb)/τ(B) close to the experimental value. We further point out that the quark-hadron duality violation would be rat...

The inclusive edge (vertex, mixed) connectivity of a vertex v is the minimum number of edges (vertices, graph elements) whose removal yields a subgraph in which v is a cutvertex. Stability under edge addition, in which the value of the parameter remains unchanged with the addition of any edge, is investigated. In particular we examine relationships between stability of the inclusive vertex conn...

In considering the full depth of inclusion in care and work environments (and developing inclusive engagement skills for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning [LGBTQ] patients and their families), professional development leaders must bring these discussions and shared learnings into the open. Understanding the LGBTQ population's unique needs is essential to providing person...

Inclusive cross sections for pion production in pp collisions are calculated for the first time fully based on unintegrated gluon, quark and antiquark distributions (uPDF). We use recently developed Kwieciński uPDF’s and different phenomenological fragmentation functions (FF) from the literature. In addition to the gg → g diagram we include also gq → q and qg → q diagrams for inclusive parton p...

In this article, I review the recent results for inclusive and exclusive measurements for b → sγ and b → dγ decays from B factories Belle and Babar. I describe the measurement of branching fraction and direct CP violating asymmetry for inclusive B → Xsγ decay. For results of b→ dγ process, I introduce the measurement of branching fraction of exclusive b → dγ modes, the first measurement for CP ...

We calculate the leading preasymptotic correction to the inclusive width b → ¯ ccs (two massive quarks in the final state) due to the operator σ H. It is found that this correction tends to cancel the 1/N c part of the inclusive width calculated using naive factorization. The absolute value of the effect is of order 0.25. We also discuss how quark-hadron duality is realized in the inclusive dec...
