description: We calculate the relativistic correction to $J/ψ$ production in the color-singlet process $e^{+}e^{-}\to J/ψ+gg$ at B-factories. We employ the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization approach, where the short-distance coefficients are calculated perturbatively and the long-distance matrix elements are extracted from the decays of $J/ψ$ into $e^{+}e^{-}$ and light hadrons. We find that the $O(v^2)$ relativistic correction can enhance the cross section by a factor of 20-30%, comparable to the enhancement due to the $O(α_s)$ radiative correction obtained earlier. Combining the relativistic correction with the QCD radiative correction, we find that the color-singlet contribution to $e^{+}e^{-}\to J/ψ+gg$ can saturate the latest observed cross section $σ(e^{+}e^{-}\to J/ψ+X_{\mathrm{non-c\bar{c}}})=0.43 \pm0.09\pm0.09$ pb by Belle, thus leaving little room to the color-octet contributions. This gives a very stringent constraint on the color-octet contribution, and may imply that the values of color-octet matrix elements are much smaller than expected earlier by using the naive velocity scaling rules or extracted from fitting experimental data with the leading-order calculations.

Creators: name: Murray, Grant P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: The purpose of this paper is to report the findings of a literature review summary on the topic of the relationship of human psychological characteristics with athletic performance. Two research questions guided its development: (1) Is there any evidence that there is a relationship between individual human psychological characteristics and athletic performance? (2) If there is any evidence that there is a relationship between individual human psychological characteristics and athletic performance, is there further evidence that those individual characteristics translate in some way into group dynamics or attributes that may similarly influence team performance?

description: We report on helicity sensitive photovoltaic terahertz radiation response of a carbon nanotube made in a conguration of a field effect transistor. We find that the magnitude of the rectified voltage is different for clockwise and anticlockwise circularly polarized radiation. We demonstrate that this effect is a fingerprint of the plasma waves interference in the transistor channel. We also find that that the presence of the helicity- and phase-sensitive interference part of the photovoltaic response is a universal phenomenon which is obtained in the systems of different dimensionality with different single particle spectrum. Its magnitude is characteristic of the plasma wave decay length. This opens up a wide avenue for applications in the area of plasmonic interferometry.

At room temperature, MnAs layers display ridges and grooves, alternating alpha (magnetic) and beta (non-magnetic) phases. The self-organised microstructure of MnAs and the stray fields that it generates govern the local alignment between the Fe and alpha - MnAs magnetization directions, which is mostly antiparallel with a marked dependence upon the magnetic domain size.

description: This study attempts to provide a better understanding of the user dimension as a factor in software game success. It focuses mainly on an empirical investigation of the effect of user factors on the software game development process and finally on the quality of the resulting game. A quantitative survey was developed and conducted to identify key user dimensions. For this study, a survey was used to test the research model and hypotheses. The main contribution of this paper is to investigate empirically the influence of user key factors on software game development process that ultimately results in a higher quality final product. The results provide evidence that game development organizations must deal with multiple user key factors to remain competitive and handle high pressure in the soft-ware game industry.

title: Treatment of Separation Anxiety Disorder and School Refusal: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature
Creators: name: Petersen, Nicole
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: Separation anxiety disorder is a condition in which a child or adolescent experiences severe anxiety when separation from a parent or caregiver is imminent. A possible symptom of separation anxiety disorder or other psychological conditions is that the child may refuse to attend school or run away from school during the day, an occurrence commonly referred to as school refusal. Children with separation anxiety disorder or school refusal may, as a result, be limited in their social and educational opportunities. Therefore, a review of published studies on the treatment of separation anxiety disorder and school refusal was completed. To adequately manage these disorders, proper assessment and treatment are key. Common assessment strategies include various self-report instruments and functional assessment. Despite the obstacles and challenges associated with separation anxiety disorder and school refusal, very few empirical studies have examined treatments for these conditions. Cognitive-behavioral treatments for school refusal and separation anxiety disorder, however, have been supported by the research, though the efficacy of such strategies may be influenced by the acceptability of the treatment to families and teachers and by the integrity with which treatment methods are implemented. Psychopharmacological approaches, however, have not been validated empirically. More research on both treatment strategies is necessary to confirm current findings. The implications of the present research on the practice of school psychologists is considered.
title: Is It Time for Cooperative Learning to Enter American Classrooms?

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Education's raison d'etre is to prepare students with the skills necessary for a productive and happy life within society. The fact that many educational institutions are experiencing a disconcerting number of students dropping out of school (and sometimes life itself) may be an indicator that this preparation is less than adequate in meeting their needs. In fact, the needs of a high school graduate today are so different and far-reaching than what they were 30-50 years ago, it will be easier to group them according to a change in economics, transformed demographics and changes in social situations and practices. Each of these areas will be presented as challenges that call for a change in the way we structure education in America, and this paper will evaluate the ways Cooperative Learning approaches propose to meet them.

description: Digitization of scanned Piping and Instrumentation diagrams(P&ID), widely used in manufacturing or mechanical industries such as oil and gas over several decades, has become a critical bottleneck in dynamic inventory management and creation of smart P&IDs that are compatible with the latest CAD tools. Historically, P&ID sheets have been manually generated at the design stage, before being scanned and stored as PDFs. Current digitization initiatives involve manual processing and are consequently very time consuming, labour intensive and error-prone.Thanks to advances in image processing, machine and deep learning techniques there are emerging works on P&ID digitization. However, existing solutions face several challenges owing to the variation in the scale, size and noise in the P&IDs, sheer complexity and crowdedness within drawings, domain knowledge required to interpret the drawings. This motivates our current solution called Digitize-PID which comprises of an end-to-end pipeline for detection of core components from P&IDs like pipes, symbols and textual information, followed by their association with each other and eventually, the validation and correction of output data based on inherent domain knowledge. A novel and efficient kernel-based line detection and a two-step method for detection of complex symbols based on a fine-grained deep recognition technique is presented in the paper. In addition, we have created an annotated synthetic dataset, Dataset-P&ID, of 500 P&IDs by incorporating different types of noise and complex symbols which is made available for public use (currently there exists no public P&ID dataset). We evaluate our proposed method on this synthetic dataset and a real-world anonymized private dataset of 12 P&ID sheets. Results show that Digitize-PID outperforms the existing state-of-the-art for P&ID digitization.

description: Ferulic acid (Fer) displays antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties useful against neurodegenerative diseases. To increase Fer uptake and its central nervous system residence time, a dimeric prodrug, optimizing the Fer loading on nasally administrable solid lipid microparticles (SLMs), was developed. The prodrug was synthesized as Fer dimeric conjugate methylated on the carboxylic moiety. Prodrug antioxidant/anti-inflammatory properties and ability to release Fer in physiologic environments were evaluated. Tristearin or stearic acid SLMs were obtained by hot emulsion technique. In vivo pharmacokinetics were quantified by HPLC. The prodrug was able to release Fer in physiologic environments (whole blood and brain homogenates) and induce in vitro antioxidant/anti-inflammatory effects. Its half-life in rats was 18.0 ± 1.9 min. Stearic acid SLMs, exhibiting the highest prodrug loading and dissolution rate, were selected for nasal administration to rats (1 mg/kg dose), allowing to obtain high prodrug bioavailability and prolonged residence in the cerebrospinal fluid, showing AUC (Area Under Concentration) values (108.5 ± 3.9 μg∙mL−1∙min) up to 30 times over those of Fer free drug, after its intravenous/nasal administration (3.3 ± 0.3/5.16 ± 0.20 μg∙mL−1∙min, respectively) at the same dose. Chitosan presence further improved the prodrug brain uptake. Nasal administration of prodrug-loaded SLMs can be proposed as a noninvasive approach for neurodegenerative disease therapy.

description: The form factors relevant to $B_{q}\to D^{\ast}_{q}(J^{P}=1^{-}) ellν$ $(q=s, d, u)$ decays are calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules approach. The heavy quark effective theory prediction of the form factors as well as $1/m_{b}$ corrections to those form factors are obtained. A comparison of the results for the ratio of form factors at zero recoil limit and other values of $q^{2}$ with the predictions of the subleading Isgur-Wise form factor application for $B\to D^{\ast}\ellν$ is presented. The total decay width and branching ratio for these decays are also evaluated using the $q^2$ dependencies of these form factors. The results are in good agreement with the constituent quark meson model and existing experimental data. The $q=s$ case can also be detected at LHC in the near future.

description: Range inventory, by definition, is the evaluation of the range resources to determine a proper and safe level of stocking and to provide a record of vegetation and vegetation changes (Stoddart and Smith, 1955). Range survey is defined by the Range Conservation Glossary, Soil Conservation Service (1944) as "a systematic and comprehensive inventory and analysis of the range resources and related management problems of a range area for the purpose of developing plans of management therefrom." Accordingly, range inventory is the quest for basic information about rangelands and the development of guides and procedures for their management, improvement and efficient use.

description: In the context of clustering, we assume a generative model where each cluster is the result of sampling points in the neighborhood of an embedded smooth surface; the sample may be contaminated with outliers, which are modeled as points sampled in space away from the clusters. We consider a prototype for a higher-order spectral clustering method based on the residual from a local linear approximation. We obtain theoretical guarantees for this algorithm and show that, in terms of both separation and robustness to outliers, it outperforms the standard spectral clustering algorithm (based on pairwise distances) of Ng, Jordan and Weiss (NIPS '01). The optimal choice for some of the tuning parameters depends on the dimension and thickness of the clusters. We provide estimators that come close enough for our theoretical purposes. We also discuss the cases of clusters of mixed dimensions and of clusters that are generated from smoother surfaces. In our experiments, this algorithm is shown to outperform pairwise spectral clustering on both simulated and real data.

description: The design of the forthcoming fifth generation (5G) system shall meet the severe requirement of managing an always increasing amount of traffic generated by both humans and machines, while guaranteeing data security. Among the enabling technologies that will turn 5G into a reality, Device-to-Device (D2D) and Multicasting will certainly play a key role because of their capability to largely improve network resources utilization and to address emerging use cases requiring the delivery of the same content to a large number of devices. D2D communications can help to improve traditional point-to-multipoint transmissions by reducing the multicast coverage area and exploiting properly selected relay nodes as data forwarders towards users with worse channel conditions. However, security issues are even more challenging for D2D connections, as data exchange happens directly between nodes in proximity. To enhance performance and security of delivered traffic in 5G-oriented networks, in this paper we design SeT-D2D (Secure and Trust D2D), according to which trustworthiness inferred from both direct interactions and social-awareness parameters is exploited to properly select relay nodes. Main contributions of our research consist in the introduction of a model for the assessment of network nodes' trustworthiness and the implementation of security mechanisms to protect the data transmitted in D2D communications and the privacy of the involved users. The conducted simulation campaign testifies to the ability of the proposed solution to effectively select relay nodes, which leads to an improved network performance.
title: Exploring the effectiveness of Self-management Programs for Students with Disruptive Behaviors: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Creators: name: Kupiec, Heidi
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: Disruptive behaviors exhibited by children and youth pose a major problem for students exhibiting the behaviors, their peers, parents, and teachers. Disruptive behaviors including shouting, aggression, off-task behaviors, and noncompliance, correlate with poor social skills, low peer acceptance, higher rates of academic deficiencies, and in adulthood instability in relationships and employment. Self-management programs employ traditional behavior management methods and with self-management components to teach students to self-monitor or evaluate their behavior. By teaching students to be aware of and to manage their own behavior students may be better able to generalize appropriate behaviors to other less supervised settings, complete more work, and experience a sense of accomplishment for controlling their behavior. Past reviews of self-management literature have demonstrated the effectiveness of self-management interventions in changing disruptive behaviors and documented limitations of the research. However, the most recent review was completed over a decade ago, therefore a current review of self-management programs for disruptive behaviors was completed. The review indicated that recent literature has corrected some past limitations by studying a larger variety of age groups in different settings and by providing replicable intervention steps. Unfortunately, many variables continue to be neglected (e.g., generalization, maintenance, social validity, treatment integrity). The strengths and limitations of current self-management literature as applied to changing disruptive behaviors exhibited by youth are discussed and areas for future research recommended.
title: Biotechnics and politics: A genealogy of nonhuman technology
Creators: name: Vollgraff, Matthew
name: Tamborini, Marco
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2024

description: This article presents a new perspective on the intersection of technology, biology, and politics in modern Germany by examining the history of biotechnics, a nonanthropocentric concept of technology that was developed in German-speaking Europe from the 1870s to the 1930s. Biotechnics challenged the traditional view of technology as exclusively a human creation, arguing that nature itself could also be a source of technical innovations. Our study focuses on the contributions of Ernst Kapp, Raoul Heinrich Francé, and Alf Giessler, highlighting the gradual shift in political perspectives that influenced the merging of nature and technology in their respective visions of biotechnics. From Kapp’s liberal radicalism to Francé’s social organicism and ultimately to Giessler’s totalitarian fascism, their writings increasingly vitalized technology by portraying it as a natural force independent from human influence. The history of biotechnics sheds light on previously unexplored aspects of debates surrounding the sciences and philosophy of technology in Germany, while also foreshadowing contemporary discussions on technocultural hybridity. As a genealogy of the idea of nonhuman technology, the article raises perturbing questions about the political implications of conflating nature and culture.

Effects of same-sex and opposite-sex models of self-disclosure in a counseling analogy
Creators: name: Christie-Dobbs, John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The paper is a study of the effectiveness of videotape models used to stimulate self-disclosure among subjects in a counseling analogy. In particular, it examines the relative effectiveness of same-sex and opposite-sex models among male and female subjects. A secondary purpose is to discuss the usefulness of such modeling as a precounseling treatment. Twenty-four male and 24 female university students viewed one of four videotape models: same-sex, low-disclosing; same-sex, high-disclosing; opposite-sex, low-disclosing; or opposite-sex, high-disclosing. The subjects were then .v asked to discuss the three topics which were discussed by the models; school life, family life, and social life. Their discussions were scored in three 4-minute periods for number of self-disclosing statements. Subjects also rated the models on four scales: intimacy, masculinity, liking, and psychological adjustment. Modeling high self-disclosure was seen to be effective in stimulating subjects to make more self-disclosing statements in their own discussions. Opposite-sex models of high self-disclosure were more effective than were same-sex models for both male and female subjects. Overall, female subjects self-disclosed more than did males. Erratic rates of self- disclosure over time were observed among subjects who viewed a highly self-disclosing model. Several unpredicted but statistically significant results were obtained, particularly from analyses of variance of the ratings subjects made of the models. These results tended to suggest some evidence of sex-role stereotyping of the models' self-disclosing behavior. The validity of some of the findings from the study was also questioned in the light of these unpredicted results. Suggestion is made for further study; in particular, replication of the study with controls on certain variables is recommended. The paper includes a discussion of the applicability of videotape modeling of self-disclosure as a precounseling treatment. While there are indications that such modeling is effective in an experimental setting, further study of its refinements is suggested. Finally, consideration is given to the ethical implications of such precounseling treatments, particularly for the existential or non-directive counselor.

The HiRes data are consistent with a constant elongation rate d/d(log(E)) of 47.9 +- 6.0 (stat.) +- 3.2 (syst.)g/cm^2/decade for energies between 1.6 EeV and 63 EeV, and are consistent with a predominantly protonic composition of cosmic rays when interpreted via the QGSJET01 and QGSJET-II high-energy hadronic interaction models. These measurements constrain models in which the galactic-to-extragalactic transition is the cause of the energy spectrum "ankle' at 4 EeV.

title: Brain Injury in Children: Assessment and School-based Interventions
Creators: name: Smith, Deanne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2002

description: A traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain caused by an external physical force, resulting in total or partial functional disability or psychosocial impairment that adversely affects a child's educational performance. It is considered the leading cause of mortality and disability among children with estimates of over one million occurrences each year. The 1990 revision of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act included Traumatic Brain Injury as a special education diagnostic category. Although this allowed students greater access to appropriate services, it pointed out the need for additional knowledge and training for educators working with this population. Therefore, a review of published studies on assessment and school-based interventions for students with TBI was conducted. Assessment included both formal, standardized measures and informal methods. Despite the apparent need, few empirical studies have examined rehabilitation for children and adolescents who have sustained a head injury. Treatment approaches were divided into three categories: cognitive remediation, social/behavioral interventions, and the impact of the family on child outcome. Evidence was found supporting all three areas, but more studies are needed to confirm the findings as well as study the duration of effects over time. Finally, recommendations for components of a school based intervention program are outlined.

Another result we will prove is, if $K$ is a genus 1 null-homologous knot in an $L$--space, and the 0--surgery on $K$ is fibered, then $K$ itself is fibered. These two results are the missing cases of earlier results due to the second author.

Our proofs are elementary and purely probabilistic, and do not appeal to the representation theory of $\mathcal{S}_n$.

description: The evolution is presented of infrared transmission spectra of hydrogenated and chlorinated amorphous silicon films versus the chlorine concentration and the annealing temperature. As the chlorine content increases, an increase of the 2100 cm-1 band intensity is observed. We associate this effect with the existence of SiH2CI2, mixed configurations. The Sic1 stretching band, located at 545 cm-1 in unannealed samples, shifts continuously up to 590 cm-1 as the annealing temperature increases. This displacement is attributed to a predominance of SiCI2, species around 500°C and their transformation to SiCl, species and SiCl, molecules above 700°C.

An exploration of the construct validity of Durrell Visual memory of words, intermediate
Creators: name: Booth, Janice Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of the study was to explore the construct validity of the Durrell subtest Visual Memory of Words: Intermediate. The study was designed to investigate whether the Durrell Visual Memory of Words: Intermediate measures visual memory, as it is purported or includes a measure of an auditory-visual integration process in short-term memory. The study was conducted in four stages: Stage One described the paradigm for the study and identified tests to represent the constructs, of auditory memory, visual memory and auditory-visual integration. Stage Two of the study required administering two tests of auditory discrimination and three tests of auditory-visual integration, individually to 60 grade four students. The sample was stratified by age, gender and reading level. The results of Stage Two led to the development of a new paradigm for the study and the retention of two measures of auditory-visual integration for use in further exploratory studies. In Stage Three of the study two tests each of auditory memory, visual memory and auditory-visual integration were administered to 22 grade four students, controlling for test order effect. The same six tests were given to 120 grade five students during Stage Four of the study. The data were subjected to test, item and multiple regression analysis. Results of the test and item analysis indicated the California Phonics-Visua1 and the: G-F-W Auditory Memory were too easy for the grade five age students. Multiple regression analysis of the data revealed 55 percent of the variance of the Durrell Visual Memory of Words; Intermediate was accounted for by general reading ability plus tests of auditory memory, visual memory and auditory-visual integration. It was concluded that there was sufficient evidence from the exploratory study to raise the question of whether the Durrell Visual Memory of Words: Intermediate, does in fact contain a measure of auditory-visual integration. Some implications and suggestions for further research were stated.
title: Review of Social Competency Training for Pre-School and Elementary School Age Students at Risk for Developing or Classified with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders

description: Social competency training is a common intervention for students at risk for developing or classified with emotional/behavioral disorders. However, a review of research indicated that it is only mildly effective in producing significant outcomes for these students. A number of factors have been identified as possibly impacting the success of social competency training, including: the intervention setting, the timing of intervention, characteristics of participants, characteristics of interventions and the outcome measurements ~d. A review of literature was conducted to evaluate these factors. Findings of the review indicate that there are not significant differences between interventions conducted in regular education and resource or small group settings. The most compelling results were from interventions based in self-contained or specialized settings; however, there were only a small number of studies in this setting. Timing of intervention does not appear to be a significant factor. In the studies reviewed, outcomes were slightly more positive for pre-school and kindergarten age children and older elementary school age students compared to first and second grade age groups. In terms of participant characteristics, students with the most severe behaviors and students with externalizing behaviors were more positively impacted than students with mild or moderate behaviors or internalizing behaviors. Characteristics of the most successful interventions were those with individualization procedures, treatment matched to symptoms, programs using the First Step to Success, the use of emotional competency training, interventions using peers as trainers or role models and the use of specific behavioral strategies, such as group contingencies. The outcome measurements with the most compelling results were direct observations, followed by socio-metrics and self-reports.
Academic assessments and rating scales had the least significant outcomes. Limitations include comparing studies with single subject designs to studies using control group designs and drawing conclusions based on small numbers of studies with specific characteristics.

description: The paper considers the issues related to the automation of design of the forgings shape and forging dies. The algorithm that allows obtaining forging geometry along the contour of the finishing part in the automated mode is proposed. The results show that when the implemented algorithm is applied, the efficiency of die design increases significantly, and the time required is reduced to a few seconds. The developed software can be used both directly by mechanical engineers at machine-building enterprises, and in scientific and educational environments, including the formation of initial data for training neural networks, as well as for the improvement of students' skills in the design of forging dies.
Quantum slow-roll and quantum fast-roll inflationary initial conditions: CMB quadrupole suppression and further effects on the low CMB multipoles

description: Quantum fast-roll initial conditions for the inflaton which are different from the classical fast-roll conditions and from the quantum slow-roll conditions can lead to inflation that last long enough. These quantum fast-roll initial conditions for the inflaton allow for kinetic energies of the same order of the potential energies and nonperturbative inflaton modes with nonzero wavenumbers. Their evolution starts with a transitory epoch where the redshift due to the expansion succeeds to assemble the quantum excited modes of the inflaton in a homogeneous (zero mode) condensate, and the large value of the Hubble parameter succeeds to overdamp the fast-roll of the redshifted inflaton modes. After this transitory stage the effective classical slow-roll epoch is reached. Most of the efolds are produced during the slow-roll epoch and we recover the classical slow-roll results for the scalar and tensor metric perturbations plus corrections. These corrections are important, both for scalar and for tensor perturbations, if scales which are horizon-size today exited the horizon by the end of the transitory stage and as a consequence the lower CMB multipoles get suppressed (fast-roll) or enhanced (precondensate). These two types of corrections can compete and combine in a scale dependent manner. They arise as natural consequences of the quantum nonperturbative inflaton dynamics, and provide a consistent and contrastable model for the origin of the suppression of the quadrupole and for other departures of the low CMB multipoles from the slow-roll inflation-LambdaCMB model which are to be contrasted to the TE and EE multipoles and to the forthcoming and future CMB data.

description: In machine learning, active class selection (ACS) algorithms aim to actively select a class and ask the oracle to provide an instance for that class to optimize a classifier's performance while minimizing the number of requests. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm (PAL-ACS) that transforms the ACS problem into an active learning task by introducing pseudo instances. These are used to estimate the usefulness of an upcoming instance for each class using the performance gain model from probabilistic active learning. Our experimental evaluation (on synthetic and real data) shows the advantages of our algorithm compared to state-of-the-art algorithms. It effectively prefers the sampling of difficult classes and thereby improves the classification performance.
title: Examination of the Issues and Scientific Evidence for the Identification process of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Individuals with Learning Disabilities to Enhance Academic Outcomes
Creators: name: Ferre, Scot
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: Although the identification of learning disabilities (LD) is a viable means to provide appropriate
instructional and support services for students with academic difficulties, there is a limited
knowledge base about the identification, assessment, and intervention of and for LD in deaf and
hard of hearing (D/HH) students. Given the potential consequences of test results, this review
examined current and recent developments in the field of learning disabilities concerning the
conceptualization of learning disability and the validity and empirical support of earlier
identification methods and various assessment identification options with D/HH students.
Challenges to the process and the need for additional assessment and empirically validated
treatment options are discussed. Until future research provides more explicit guidelines, a case
example with a proposed framework and troubleshooting for critical areas that may interfere
with accurate data-based decision-making is suggested for defining LD that school psychologists
can incorporate in current practice.
