NON-ABELIAN FLUX AND SPIN LIQUID STATES
Authors: ZEE A.
Published: November 2004

We describe in the Heisenberg anti-ferromagnet in two and three dimensional spaces non-Abelian flux states about which the low energy excitations obey the Dirac equation. A gap in the energy spectrum may be opened. These states describe spin liquids.
INTERMITTENT DIFFUSION AND ITS INFLUENCE ON DOPING PROFILES IN SEMICONDUCTORS
Authors: COWERN N.E.B. , VAN DE WALLE G.F.A.
Published: November 2004

Diffusion where an impurity ‘jumps’ at random time intervals by converting to a fast-migrating intermediate species, appears to be quite common in semiconductors. The special characteristics of this ‘intermittent’ mode of diffusion are analysed. It is shown how definitive information on the atomic mechanism and energetics of diffusion for a migrant impurity can be obtained from depth profile measurements, provided the measurement length scale is comparable with the migration length of the intermediate species. Recent experiments have provided this basic knowledge for the case of B in Si. Implications for the formation of ultra-shallow junctions are discussed.
LATTICE RELAXATION AND THERMAL EXPANSION AT NOBLE-GAS SURFACES: A MOLECULAR DYNAMICS AND LEED STUDY FOR KR(111)
Authors: ROMAHN U. , GÖBEL H. , SCHOMMERS W. , BLANCKENHAGEN P. VON
Published: November 2004

Results on interlayer spacings and their temperature dependence at the Kr(111) surface obtained by molecular dynamics calculations using a realistic pair potential and by LEED experiments are reported. Both methods yield a lattice contraction at low temperatures and, furthermore, an enhanced thermal expansion at the surface.

A GRAPH MATCHING APPROACH TO 3-D POINT CORRESPONDENCES
Authors: CHENG JIN-CHANG , DON HON-SON
Published: November 2004

A recursive descent tree traversal algorithm is presented to find the point correspondences between two views. Given two sets of noisy 3-D feature points on multiple rigid objects at two time-sequential views, the points at the first view are constructed as a graph and then another graph is derived from those feature points at the second view so that a maximal matching point and minimum matching error is obtained. The correspondence of the vertices is then found. The algorithm can also he used when the number of points at two views are different. Therefore, after matching, the occluded points at either view or both views can be identified. The computation time of the proposed algorithm is large when the number of feature points is large. A data set splitting strategy for such cases, which can significantly reduce the computation time, is presented. Another algorithm presented is one in which motion parameters are estimated from a matched subgraph and are then used to guide the matching for the rest of the nodes. Computer simulations are performed to show the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm.
CONNECTIONIST MODEL BINARIZATION
Authors: BABAGUCHI NOBORU , YAMADA KOJI , KISE KOICHI , TEZUKA YOSHIKAZU
Published: November 2004

Image binarization is a task to convert gray-level images into bi-level ones. Its underlying notion can be simply thought of as threshold selection. However, the result of binarization will cause significant influence on the process of image recognition or understanding. In this paper we discuss a new binarization method, named CMB (connectionist model binarization), which uses the connectionist model. In the method a gray-level histogram is input to a multilayer network trained with the back-propagation algorithm to obtain a threshold which gives a visually suitable binarized image. From the experimental results, it was verified that CMB is an effective binarization method in comparison with other methods.
INTEGRATING PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND EXECUTION WITH AN OBJECT-ORIENTED PARADIGM
Authors: VENUGOPAL RAGU , HUANG SHIRLEY S. , Sheu PHILLIP C-Y.
Published: November 2004

In a software engineering environment, it is essential to describe the structures and behavior of different processes. Once the processes have been described, it would also be desirable to use the description for consistently controlling the execution of the processes. In this paper we describe an extension of the conventional object-oriented paradigm which provides an integrated process description/execution environment that allows a user to describe a process with multiple methodologies and to review a process from multiple views. Once a process has been described in detail, the environment can monitor the behavior of application processes, derive the inter-dependencies among different activities in a process, and check the consistency among the activities.
CONSTRUCTING MULTIDIMENSIONAL SPANNER GRAPHS
Authors: SALOWE JEFFERY S.
Published: November 2004

Given a connected graph G=(V,E) with positive edge weights, define the distance dG(u,v) between vertices u and v to be the length of a shortest path from u to v in G. A spanning subgraph G' of G is said to be a t-spanner for G if, for every pair of vertices u and v, dG'(u,v)≤t·dG(u,v). Consider a complete graph G whose vertex set is a set of n points in [Formula: see text] and whose edge weights are given by the Lp distance between respective points. Given input parameter ∊, 0<∊≤1, we show how to construct a (1+∊)-spanner for G containing [Formula: see text] edges in [Formula: see text] time. We apply this spanner to the construction of approximate minimum spanning trees.
BREP-INDEX: A MULTIDIMENSIONAL SPACE PARTITIONING TREE
Authors: VANĚČEK GEORGE
Published: November 2004

In this paper we present the Brep-index, a multidimensional space partitioning data structure that provides quick spatial access to the vertices, edges and faces of a boundary representation (Brep), thus yielding a single unified representation for polyhedral solids. We give an algorithm for the construction of the Brep-index and prove its correctness. We show that its size is Ω(v+e+f), where v, e, and f are the number of vertices, edges, and faces of the Brep. The lower bound can be achieved for some Breps by compressing the structure using simple rewrite rules. We then demonstrate robust point and line/Brep classification methods given an implementation that uses finite-precision arithmetic.
DOMAIN DELAUNAY TETRAHEDRIZATION OF SOLID MODELS
Authors: SAPIDIS NICKOLAS S. , PERUCCHIO RENATO
Published: November 2004

An algorithm is presented for constructing a topologically and geometrically valid Domain Delaunay Tetrahedrization (DDT) of an arbitrarily shaped solid model with quadric curved faces (including objects with holes and nonmanifold objects). The algorithm operates on the boundary representation (B-rep) of the solid, and makes extensive use of properties of the Delaunay triangulation. This algorithm also includes a mechanism for transferring neighborhood information from the solid model to the elements of the tetrahedral model. Neighborhood information is used for identifying tetrahedra to be included in the DDT, and — in combination with geometric criteria — for ensuring that the DDT approximates satisfactorily the curved faces of the solid.

The political economy of Internet music radio
Authors: Wall Tim
Published: November 2004

The new technologies of the World Wide Web have become an important arena for sound broadcasting, and for those with access there is a whole world of radio available to listen to online. The relatively small cost of making music radio programmes for online distribution has led many
to argue that the technology makes the possibility of free access and diverse radio. Using empirical research and a broadly political economic analysis this paper examines recent and likely future trends to judge the degree to which the technology is adding to the public good. It concludes
that two major ways of presenting streamed radio are developing, related to two business models, which are leading to the domination of this new form of radio by a small number of companies.
The relevance of therapeutic drug monitoring in plasma and erythrocytes in anti-cancer drug treatment
Authors: Dumez Herlinde , Guetens Gunther , De Boeck Gert , Highley Martin S. , Maes Robert A. A. , van Oosterom Allan T. , de Bruijn Ernst A.
Published: November 2004

Therapeutic drug monitoring generally focuses on the plasma compartment only. Differentiation between the total plasma concentration and the free fraction (plasma water) has been described for a number of limited drugs. Besides the plasma compartment, blood has also a cellular fraction which has by far the largest theoretical surface and volume for drug transport. It is with anti-cancer drugs that major progress has been made in the study of partition between the largest cellular blood compartment, i.e., erythrocytes, and the plasma compartment. The aim of the present review is to detail the progress made in predicting what a drug does in the body, i.e., pharmacodynamics including toxicity and plasma and/or red blood cell concentration monitoring. Furthermore, techniques generally used in anti-cancer drug monitoring are highlighted. Data for complex Bayesian statistical approaches and population kinetics studies are beyond the scope of this review, since this is generally limited to the plasma compartment only.
Hair analysis in toxicology
Authors: Villain Marion , Cirimele Vincent , Kintz Pascal
Published: November 2004

Morphological, serological and chemical examination of human hair for medical purposes was initiated some decades ago. In the 1960s and 1970s, hair analysis was used to evaluate exposure to toxic heavy metals. At this time, examination of hair for organic substances, especially drugs, was not possible because analytical methods were not sensitive enough. Since the early 1980s, the development of highly sensitive and specific assay methods such as radioimmunoassay or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry has permitted the analysis of organic substances trapped in hair. This, theoretically, offered the possibility of revealing an individual’s recent history of drug exposure beginning at sampling day and dating back over a period of weeks or months. The present review aims to summarise the various applications that have been published.
Position of chromatographic techniques in screening for detection of drugs or poisons in clinical and forensic toxicology and/or doping control
Authors: Maurer Hans H.
Published: November 2004

This paper reviews chromatographic screening procedures for simultaneous detection of several drug classes relevant to clinical and forensic toxicology or doping control in urine or blood using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography coupled with a diode-array detector (LC-DAD) or a mass spectrometer (LC-MS). The pros and cons of the different techniques and procedures are discussed leading to the following conclusions and perspectives. GC-MS, especially in the electron ionization full-scan mode, is still the method of choice for comprehensive screening providing best separation power, specificity and universality, although requiring derivatization. LC-DAD is also often used for screening, but its separation power and its specificity are still inferior to those of GC-MS. Finally, LC-MS has shown to be an ideal supplement, especially for the detection of more polar, thermolabile and/or low-dose drugs, especially in blood plasma. It may become the gold standard in clinical and forensic toxicology and doping control if, at a later date, the costs of the apparatus will be markedly reduced, the current disadvantages like irreproducibility of fragmentation, reduction of ionization by matrix, etc. will be overcome, and finally if one of the increasing number of quite different techniques will become the apparatus standard.
The Association of Irritability and Impulsivity with Suicidal Ideation Among 15‐ to 20‐year‐old Males
Authors: Conner Kenneth R. , Meldrum Sean , Wieczorek William F. , Duberstein Paul R. , Welte John W.
Published: November 2004

Information on the association of impulsivity and measures of aggression with suicidal ideation in adolescents and young adults is limited. Data were gathered from a community sample of 625 adolescent and young adult males. Analyses were based on multivariate generalized estimating equations. Impulsivity and irritability were associated strongly with suicidal ideation after accounting for alcohol dependence and other aggression‐related constructs including psychopathy. Given that irritable, impulsive adolescent males appear to contemplate suicidal behavior, their heightened suicide risk may be anticipated and mitigated.
Laboratory Measured Behavioral Impulsivity Relates to Suicide Attempt History
Authors: Dougherty Donald M. , Mathias Charles W. , Marsh Dawn M. , Papageorgiou T. Dorina , Swann Alan C. , Moeller F. Gerard
Published: November 2004

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between laboratory behavioral measured impulsivity (using the Immediate and Delayed Memory Tasks) and suicidal attempt histories. Three groups of adults were recruited, those with either: no previous suicide attempts (Control, n = 20), only a single suicide attempt (Single, n = 20), or multiple suicidal attempts (Multiple, n = 10). As hypothesized, impulsive responses increased with the number of suicide attempts (Control < Single < Multiple). This study helps to demonstrate how laboratory behavioral measures of impulsivity can be used to discriminate groups based on suicidal histories among samples not currently exhibiting significant suicidal behaviors.

Dreams of a Final Sherpa
Authors: Adams Vincanne
Published: November 2004

This exploration of a Himalayan Sherpa ritual engages contemporary cultural anthropology debates concerning ethnographic essentialism, positivism, and so‐called postmodernist approaches. The author notes a parallelism between Buddhist Sherpa ritual processes that call upon patrons to engage in mimesis with idealized images of themselves and ethnographic representations that call for Sherpas to become that which is desired by foreign others. A positivist reading of Sherpas thus leads us toward both a necessary reflexivity about the effects of our writing upon them and the adoption of a strategic essentialism aware of its karmic consequences.
Non‐Boserupian Ecology and Agricultural Risk: Ethnic Politics and Land Control in the Arid Southwest
Authors: Stone Glenn Davis , Downum Christian E.
Published: November 2004

Numerous cases of increasing population without fallow shortening or intensification without population pressure have been cited as disproof of the Boserup model of agricultural change. In this paper we argue that the model is an efficient explanation for agricultural change but only when certain agroecological conditions are met: higher marginal input costs must be both necessary and sufficient to raise production. Elsewhere, conditions are non‐Boserupian, and other kinds of responses should be expected. Wupatki, a prehistoric agricultural frontier, is a case in point. Boserupian intensification was mostly impossible here, and with population influx, fanners turned instead to sociopolitical means of protecting the land base for extensive agriculture. A contemporary example from Nigeria illustrates territorial control by groups consolidated along ethnic lines. The strategy of relying on increasing numbers and monumental construction to back up territorial claims had unintended long‐term consequences that led to abandonment of Wupatki.

Where Will the Baby Sleep? Attitudes and Practices of New and Experienced Parents Regarding Cosleeping with Their Newborn Infants
Authors: Ball Helen L. , Hooker Elaine , Kelly Peter J.
Published: November 2004

An evolutionary perspective on human infant sleep physiology suggests that parent‐infant cosleeping, practiced under safe conditions, might be beneficial to both mothers and infants. However, cosleeping is not part of mainstream parenting ideology in the United States or the United Kingdom, and little evidence is available to indicate whether, and under what circumstances, parents sleep with their newborn infants. We present data from an anthropological investigation into the practices and attitudes of new and experienced parents of newborn infants regarding parent‐infant sleeping arrangements in a community in the northeast of England. Despite not having contemplated cosleeping prior to the birth, new parents in our sample found it to be a convenient nighttime caregiving strategy, and one which was practiced regularly. Infants slept with both their parents, some being habitual all‐night cosleepers, but commonly beginning the night in a cnb and sleeping with their parents for several hours following the early morning feed, [infant sleep, newborn, cosleeping, new parents]
The New Ecological Anthropology
Authors: Kottak Conrad P.
Published: November 2004

Older ecologies have been remiss in the narrowness of their spatial and temporal horizons, their functionalist assumptions, and their apolitical character. Suspending functionalist assumptions and an emphasis upon (homeo)stasis, “the new ecological anthropology” is located at the intersection of global, national, regional, and local systems, studying the outcome of the interaction of multiple levels and multiple factors. It blends theoretical and empirical research with applied, policy‐directed, and critical work in what Rappaport called an “engaged” anthropology; and it is otherwise attuned to the political aspects and implications of ecological processes. Carefully laying out a critique of previous ecologies by way of announcing newer approaches, the article insists on the need to recognize the importance of culture mediations in ecological processes rather than treating culture as epiphenomenal and as a mere adaptive tool. It closes with a discussion of the methodologies appropriate to the new ecological anthropology. [“the new ecology,” political ecology, applied or engaged anthropology, linkages methodology]
Public Protest and Popular Style: Resistance from the Right in Northern Ireland and South Boston
Authors: Santino Jack
Published: November 2004

Popular political demonstrations often feature the use of theatrical and symbolic actions and artifacts. These are drawn from a repertoire that resembles and overlaps with festive public events. In this article I examine parades, murals, and other popular forms of public protest in Northern Ireland, where I have been conducting field research since 1991. I compare these to demonstrations of resistance in South Boston to school busing and the inclusion of gay and lesbian people in the St. Patrick's Day parade. Regardless of the political allegiances or intentions of the protesters, they tend to draw upon the same repertoire of images and actions for public display. This results in a genuinely popular style of protest. In the cases of political resistance from the Right, the use of popular styles of protest distinguishes the protesters along class lines from those whose rule they are supporting, [politicalprotest, Northern Ireland, street theater, resistance, public display events]
“Interracial” Sex and Racial Democracy in Brazil: Twin Concepts?
Authors: Goldstein Donna
Published: November 2004

Racial democracy is maintained in Brazil through both scholarly and popular discourses that consider “interracial” sex as proof of Brazil's lack of a racial problem. In this article, I scrutinize the discourse that asks, “How can we be racist when so many of us are mixed?” I argue that racial discourses are embedded in everyday interactions, but are often codified or masked. “Race” is especially pertinent to sexuality, yet the two have hardly been analyzed together. In fact, it is not the belief in a racial democracy that is at the heart of Brazilian racial hegemony, but rather the belief that Brazil is a color‐blind erotic democracy. Using my ethnographic data, I illustrate that “race” is embodied in everyday valuations of sexual attractiveness that are gendered, racialized, and class‐oriented in ways that commodity black female bodies and white male economic, racial, and class privilege.

Cross‐Language Predictors of Consonant‐Vowel Syllables
Authors: Ember Melvin , Ember Carol R.
Published: November 2004

In this paper we discuss cross‐language findings that open up a new window onto language‐culture relationships. The languages of the world vary considerably in the degree to which the syllables of a word are consonant‐vowel (CV) in form. A previous cross‐cultural study (Munroe et al. 1996) found that CV score (the percentage of CV syllables in the average word) can vary across languages from less than 20% to more than 80%. That study described theory and evidence linking high percentages of CV syllables to warmer climates and the absence of literacy. The theory and evidence offered here suggests that another factor—degree of baby‐holding—is more predictive of CV scores than either climate or literacy. Mean number of syllables per word is also a predictor of CV scores. Other possible predictors that could be tested experimentally and otherwise are discussed, [cross‐cultural, cross‐language, morphology, syllables, baby‐holding]
Malaria and Immunoglobulins in Pacific Prehistory
Authors: Kelly Kevin M.
Published: November 2004

The role of malaria in Pacific prehistory has been the subject of considerable study and supposition. In this manuscript, I attempt to clarify the research and reasoning that has led me to suggest that the Austronesian‐speaking peoples had a selective advantage in malarious environments. In particular, I hope to dispel any notion that that advantage was due to resistance to malaria and to re‐affirm my actual assertion that the genetic basis for the Austronesian advantage was resistance to developing the hyperimmune disease, hyperreactive malarious splenomegaly. I believe that an appreciation of this distinction will ultimately prove to be essential to understanding the role of malaria in facilitating the spread of the Austronesians—in the form of people, languages, and/or genes—throughout the Pacific.

Economic Development and Subsistence Farming: The Case of the Mende of Upper Bambara Chiefdom, Sierra Leone
Authors: Isaac Barry L.
Published: November 2004

Neo‐Marxists and other dependency theorists explain declining domestic food production in Sub‐Saharan Africa as the result of increasing production of export crops. This paper examines the Mende agrarian household in Upper Bambara Chiefdom, Sierra Leone, at three points in time (circa 1900, 1945, and 1967) and argues for the reverse causality: the Mende have become commercial farmers of cocoa and coffee because they now lack sufficient labor for self‐sufficiency in staple food production.
Ethnohistory: A Choice between Being Anthropology or Being Nothing
Authors: Abler Thomas S.
Published: November 2004

Ethnohistory is not highly regarded within anthropology because of two factors. The first is that anthropologists do not value library research. The second, and more fundamental, factor is that ethnohistorians have largely failed to deal with problems of broad anthropological interest. Too often ethnohistorical studies deal not with culture but with chronology. The work of some ethnohistorians shows this need not to be the case. If more ethnohistorians were to pursue positivistic, scientific goals, they might achieve a higher standing within anthropology.

Discontent over the efficacy and costs of America's war on drugs has led to calls for drug legalization. But this course, too, has its pitfalls. The wisest policy may be to “do less harm.”
Amélie, or Le Fabuleux Destin du Cinéma Français
Authors: Andrew Dudley
Published: November 2004

Abstract Quoting Truffaut's Jules and Jim, Amélie claims to be a new New Wave film. Instead, its calculated style returns to 1930s Poetic Realism and Under the Roofs of Paris. With spontaneity and complexity stripped from character and city alike, Amélie delivers merely a pleasurable fantasy of infantile satisfactions.
Signs
Authors: Sofair Michael
Published: November 2004

Abstract Signs' alien invaders appear from alternate, and not entirely consistent, perspectives distorted by ex-minister Graham Hess's compulsive memory of his wife's death, the schematic interpretations of the media and, finally and definitively, the indiscriminate systematizing of Graham's abruptly restored faith, which reduces both the aliens and his wife's death to signs from God.
What Did Isaac Write for Constance?
Authors: BURN DAVID J.
Published: November 2004

It has long been known that Henricus Isaac (ca. 1450–1517) wrote mass-propers for Constance cathedral. These are preserved in his posthumously printed, three-volume collection entitled Choralis Constantinus. Yet the first generation of postwar Isaac researchers showed that the Choralis contains music not only for Constance but for the Imperial court as well. Since then several theories have been advanced regarding the intended recipients of parts of the Choralis repertory. The present paper assesses these conflicting theories. It concludes that with one small possible alteration, the original division advanced by Gerhard Pätzig can stand, and that more recent proposals are not compelling. In addition, the new suggestion that Constance cathedral would have expected not only mass-propers in their commission but also mass-ordinaries is put forward, and a specific ordinary-setting which could have served this role is identified. The evaluation of the conflicting theories for how the Choralis divides leads, in the process, to a new model for the transmission of CCIII.
On the Nature of Early Music Training and Absolute Pitch: A Reply to Brown, Sachs, Cammuso, and Folstein
Authors: LEVITIN DANIEL J. , ZATORRE ROBERT J.
Published: November 2004

We discuss two issues raised in the article about the acquisition of absolute pitch published in Music Perception by W. A. Brown, H. Sachs, K. Cammuso, and S. E. Folstein (2002) with which we disagree. First, we describe that aspect of musical training we feel is relevant for the acquisition of absolute pitch. Second, we point out a disagreement about the statistical nature of developmental stages and critical periods. We describe an alternative view of absolute pitch acquisition.
Absolutist Models of Absolute Pitch Are Absolutely Misleading
Authors: VITOUCH OLIVER
Published: November 2004

The early learning model of absolute pitch has recently been challenged (W. A. Brown, H. Sachs, K. Cammuso, & S. E. Folstein, 2002). This article gives a brief review of the cumulative evidence in favor of the model: Prevalence of absolute pitch is increased (a) in the congenitally and early blind, (b) among musicians in Japan, a country with a special tradition of early music training, and (c) in different types of genetically based cognitive deficit syndromes; (d) latent forms of absolute pitch are widespread, (e) there are remarkable parallels to first language acquisition, and (f) strong correlations are consistently found between early music training and the manifestation of AP in adolescence. Apart from atypical cases, early tonal training during a sensitive period and up to a “hard” age limit seems of absolute pitch. The question of sufficiency of adequate early training methods (i.e., acquisition without hypothetical distinctive genetic priming factors) is not yet sufficiently settled.
Agogic Contrast in French and English Themes: Further Support for Patel and Daniele (2003)
Authors: HURON DAVID , OLLEN JOY
Published: November 2004

A. D. Patel and J. R. Daniele (2003) compared the rhythms of musical themes written by French and English composers. They found a significant difference that mirrors known prosodic differences in French and English speech. Specifically, Patel and Daniele found the note-to-note durational contrast to be higher in English music than in French music. Their study was based on 137 English themes and 181 French themes that were selected according to stringent criteria. Here we report a replication of Patel and Daniele with a greatly expanded sample of nearly 2000 themes.
The Role of Peripheral Feedback in Emotional Experience With Music
Authors: Dibben Nicola
Published: November 2004

Given evidence from other domains that peripheral feedback can influence emotional experience, two experiments are reported that investigate the role of physiological arousal in determining the intensity and valence of emotion experienced when listening to music. In the first experiment, two groups of participants, with different levels of induced physiological arousal, rated four excerpts of music on 10 emotion scales in terms of the emotion they felt while listening to the music and the emotion they thought the music was intended to express. Participants who had exercised immediately before making the emotion judgments reported more intense experiences of emotion felt while listening to the music than did participants who had relaxed. Arousal manipulation had no effect on ratings of the emotion thought to be expressed by the music. These results suggest that arousal influences the intensity of emotion experienced with music and therefore that people use their body state as information about the emotion felt while listening to music. A second experiment investigated this effect in more detail. Independent groups were used to test three different types of induced arousal, with separate groups for ratings of emotion felt and emotion expressed by the music. Participants who had exercised reported intensified experience of positive emotions, in response to pieces that were positive in valence, than did a control group. The article concludes that body state can influence emotional experience with music and presents this as evidence for the role of personal and situational factors in the emotional experience of music.
