Researchers disagree over the definition, measurement, and expected political consequences of American patriotism, a situation that is fueled by the absence of a strong theoretical research foundation. We develop and evaluate a new measure of national attachment that is grounded in social identity theory (Tajfel and Turner 1979), drawing on data from three distinct sources: two studies of under...

Two studies set against the complex sociopolitical backdrop of Greek Financial Crisis (2009-2018) examined role played by media narratives as intragroup communication within society in framing social identity uncertainty and desired position country wider intergroup (European) context. The extent identity-uncertainty produced regarding national identity, future, relations with EU was measured S...

This paper describes research-in-progress work on data integration system in Linked Open Data space. Proposed system uses concept of RDF identity links to interlink heterogeneous local data sources and integrate them into global data space.

Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of energy from unstable atoms. Radioactive sources have radionuclides. Radionuclide undergoes radioactive decay and emits gamma rays and subatomic particles, constituting the ionizing radiation. The gamma ray energy of a radionuclide is used to determine the identity of gamma emitters present in the source. This paper describes the hardware implementati...

A gene encoding phospholipase D (PLD) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was identified. The 195 kDa product of PLD1 has 24% overall sequence identity with a plant PLD. Expression of yeast PLD activity was eliminated by one-step gene disruption. Yeast haploids lacking PLD activity were deficient in growth on non-fermentable carbon sources. Diploids lacking expression of PLD1 were unable to sporulate.

Introduction This paper describes the sources, magnitude, and correlates of missing data in Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Sexual Orientation Gender Identity module. Methods Missing from module fielded 2014 to 2019 were ascribed 4 sources: optional nature module, out-of-state cell phone respondents, interview termination, item nonresponse. The prevalence missingnes...
