# Dorothy Rhoads

Dorothy Rhoads (March 19, 1895 – February 21, 1986) was an American writer of children's literature. Her book The Corn Grows Ripe was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1953.

## Biography

Dorothy M. Rhoads was born in Illinois, March 19, 1895. She was the daughter of Franklin Koons and Frances May Cook Rhoads. She attended Wellesley College. Circa 1920, she and her younger sister, Frances, moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico; she would live there for the remainder of her life.
Dorothy and Frances maintained a voluminous correspondence, and spent time together in Mexico. Dorothy's family had a Maya godchild, Dorita, who would appear as a character in Dorothy's writing.
Rhoads wrote throughout her life, including diaries, short stories, and poetry. Her only novel, The Corn Grows Ripe, was published in 1952. Kirkus Reviews, noting the book's Yucatan setting, opined that the novel "traces the influence of old legends in the present day." It was named a Newbery Honor book in 1953.
Rhoads died in 1986, at the age of 90. Although she died in Santa Fe, she was buried in the Chippiannock Cemetery in Rock Island, Illinois. Her papers are held by the Brigham Young University Library and the University of Minnesota Library.

# Doublet state

In quantum mechanics, a doublet is a composite quantum state of a system with an effective spin of 1/2, such that there are two allowed values of the spin component, −1/2 and +1/2. Quantum systems with two possible states are sometimes called two-level systems. Essentially all occurrences of doublets in nature arise from rotational symmetry; spin 1/2 is associated with the fundamental representation of the Lie group SU(2).

## History and applications

The term "doublet" dates back to the early 19th century, when it was observed that certain spectral lines of an ionized, excited gas would split into two under the influence of a strong magnetic field, in an effect known as the anomalous Zeeman effect. Such spectral lines were observed not only in the laboratory, but also in astronomical spectroscopy observations, allowing astronomers to deduce the existence of, and measure the strength of magnetic fields around the Sun, stars and galaxies. Conversely, it was the observation of doublets in spectroscopy that allowed physicists to deduce that the electron had a spin, and that furthermore, the magnitude of the spin had to be 1/2. See the history section of the article on Spin (physics) for greater detail.
Doublets continue to play an important role in physics. For example, the healthcare technology of magnetic resonance imaging is based on nuclear magnetic resonance. In this technology, a spectroscopic doublet occurs in a spin-1/2 atomic nucleus, whose doublet splitting is in the radio-frequency range. By applying both a magnetic field and carefully tuning a radio-frequency transmitter, the nuclear spins will flip and re-emit radiation, in an effect known as the Rabi cycle. The strength and frequency of the emitted radio waves allows the concentration of such nuclei to be measured. Another potential application is the use of doublets as the emitting layer in light emitting diodes (LEDs). These materials have the advantage of having 100% theoretical quantum efficiency based on spin statistics whereas singlet systems and triplet systems have significantly lower efficiencies or rely on noble metals such as Pt and Ir to emit light.
# Drama Shower

Drama Shower (Japanese: ドラマシャワー, Hepburn: Dorama Shawā) is a Japanese programming block on MBS. The programming block is set to run for one year and is a collaboration between MBS and Kadokawa's boys' love programming label, Tunku, to broadcast boys' love television drama series published by the latter. Drama Shower is broadcast on Fridays from 1:29 AM to 1:59 AM JST.

## History

On March 4, 2022, Kadokawa Corporation announced their new boys' love drama label, Tunku. The label is produced by Kaoru Azuma, a long-time boys' love fan. As Kadokawa had previously published a variety of boys' love manga and novels, Tunku was created with the purpose of bringing live-action drama adaptations of them worldwide. The name "Tunku" was derived from the Japanese onomatopoeia of a beating heart and the label was named such to "deliver the excitement [of a beating heart] to viewers worldwide." Azuma stated that Kadokawa approved of Tunku immediately due to their familiarity with boys' love culture and they soon gained the interest and approval of MBS to broadcast their projects.
On the same day that Kadokawa announced the establishment of Tunku, MBS announced they were creating a programming block in collaboration with the label, titled Drama Shower, in which they would broadcast boys' love drama adaptations published under the Tunku label. Drama Shower would be broadcast every Friday from 1:29 AM to 1:59 AM JST for a limited run of one year. Azuma stated that despite Drama Shower running for one year, she would be interested in continuing Tunku after Drama Shower's end provided Kadokawa still has interest in the project. The first title announced for Drama Shower was Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But to Kiss!, which began broadcast on April 22, 2022. Despite that the series came from a publisher outside of Kadokawa, Azuma wanted the adaptation to be the first series on Drama Shower because it was seen as accessible to newcomers of the boys' love genre and because it was a romantic comedy. It was followed by Senpai, This Can't Be Love!, Takara-kun & Amagi-kun, Eternal Yesterday, and Candy Color Paradox. In addition to the shows being serialized on Drama Shower, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of all series would be uploaded onto Tunku's Niconico channel as the episodes aired.

# Drawer test

The drawer test is used in the initial clinical assessment of suspected rupture of the cruciate ligaments in the knee.

## Procedure

The patient should be supine with the hips flexed to 45 degrees, the knees flexed to 90 degrees and the feet flat on table. The examiner positions himself by sitting on the examination table in front of the involved knee and grasping the tibia just below the joint line of the knee. The thumbs are placed along the joint line on either side of the patellar tendon. The tibia is then drawn forward anteriorly. An increased amount of anterior tibial translation compared with the opposite limb or lack of a firm end-point may indicate either a sprain of the anteromedial bundle or complete tear of the ACL. If the tibia pulls forward or backward more than normal, the test is considered positive. Excessive displacement of the tibia anteriorly suggests that the anterior cruciate ligament is injured, whereas excessive posterior displacement of the tibia may indicate injury of the posterior cruciate ligament.
