title: When does compatibility interference occur for reaching responses?
title: An investigation of cognitive and automatic visuomotor control
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Wiediger, Matthew D.
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Perceptual-motor processes

description: Withholding an action plan in memory for later execution can delay execution of another action if the actions share a similar (compatible) action feature (i.e., response hand). Wiediger and Fournier (2008) found this phenomenon, termed compatibility interference, for reaching responses based on stimulus detection to a stimulus location at 17 with the left hand, but not the right hand. The current study investigated whether this result was due to hemispheric differences in the cognitive control of visually-guided responses or whether differences in the cognitive control of action based on hand preference. A sample of left and right hand preferring participants planned and withheld a sequence of keypress responses (with their right or left hand), according to the identity of a stimulus (Stimulus A), and then immediately executed a visually guided action (touch response) to a second stimulus (Stimulus B) at 15 , 35 , and 54 to the left and right of the body midline based on its location. In contrast to Wiediger and Fournier, CI was not found for responses at 15 and instead a facilitation of compatible responses was found for responses at 35 and 54 for left hand preferring participants and at 54 for right hand preferring participants. These results suggest that the reach response in the current study did not rely on short-term memory to select the appropriate response and was facilitated by compatible response plans held in memory when the reaching response was directed to more lateral stimulus locations.

description: The diversity of QUIC implementations poses challenges for Internet measurements and the analysis of the QUIC ecosystem. While all implementations follow the same specification and there is general interoperability, differences in performance, functionality, but also security (e.g., due to bugs) can be expected. Therefore, knowledge about the implementation of an endpoint on the Internet can help researchers, operators, and users to better analyze connections, performance, and security. In this work, we improved the detection rate of QUIC scans to find more deployments and provide an approach to effectively identify QUIC server libraries based on CONNECTION CLOSE frames and transport parameter orders. We performed Internet-wide scans and identified at least one deployment for 18 QUIC libraries. In total, we can identify the libraries with 8.0 M IPv4 and 2.5 M IPv6 addresses. We provide a comprehensive view of the landscape of competing QUIC libraries.

Isolation, identification and characterization of RNA binding proteins involved in prolamine MRNA localization in rice endosperm cells
Creators: name: Crofts, Naoko

Year: 2009
Subjects: Rice -- Seeds -- Physiology

description: RNA localization is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for targeting gene products to specific subcellular locations. The best-studied example of RNA localization within the plant kingdom is the sorting of the mRNAs encoding the rice seed storage proteins, prolamine and glutelin, to distinct endoplasmic reticulum (ER) subdomains. In developing rice seed endosperm, prolamine mRNAs are highly enriched on ER membranes which bound spherical protein bodies (PB-ER) formed by the controlled aggregation of nascent prolamine polypeptides. In contrast, glutelin mRNAs are enriched on adjacent cisternal ER membranes and, following translation, the encoded glutelin precursors are exported to the protein storage vacuole. RNA localization signals, known as zipcodes, have been identified in both prolamine and glutelin mRNAs and are responsible for their distinct localization patterns. Since it is known that prolamine mRNAs are transported via the actin cytoskeleton in a zipcode-dependent manner, trans-acting RNA binding proteins must be required to localize these mRNAs to the PB-ER. Therefore, RNA binding proteins (RBPs) were isolated from cytoskeleton-enriched seed extracts using a prolamine zipcode affinity column, resulting in the identification of eighteen proteins by mass spectrometry. Affinity purified antibodies were generated against fifteen of these, including three chloroplast RBPs and seven members of the heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) family which have known roles in RNA targeting. RBP-A, RBP-D and RBP-I, all of which are hnRNPs, show specificity for prolamine zipcode RNA compared to control RNA. The expression profiles of RBP-A and RBP-D show that both proteins are highly expressed only during the most rapid phase of storage protein accumulation. Microscopy data for RBP-A and RBP-D is also consistent with a role in RNA localization. Both are present on ER membranes and in particles which are closely associated with cytoskeletal elements. The development of a novel approach based on RNA immunoprecipitation coupled with microarray analysis allowed the identification of RNA species interacting with RBP-A. These included both prolamine and glutelin, in addition to a number of others. This data therefore supports a role for RBP-A as an RNA binding protein involved in the localization of storage protein RNAs to ER membranes.

description: “Site Design” is a very important basic course of architecture, covers all design except building monomer design, and is an important course related to the organic integration of architecture and surrounding environment. At present, some problems in teaching of the site design are as below: contradiction between teaching content and arrangement of teaching time, separation of theory teaching from design practice, and teaching methods not integrating with the latest design software. For these teaching issues, some reform measures are put forward for the teaching of "Site Design", such as adjusting teaching syllabus, teaching content, arrangement of teaching time, teaching method and teaching means. We hope to develop students' holistic thinking in site design and the holistic design concept of site design and architectural design.

description: We define a fixed point action in two-dimensional lattice CP^{N-1} models. The fixed point action is a classical perfect lattice action, which is expected to show strongly reduced cut-off effects in numerical simulations. Furthermore, the action has scale invariant instanton solutions, which enables us to define a topological charge without topological defects. We present results for the scaling of the topological suceptibility from a Monte Carlo simulation in the CP^3 model.

description: The properties of functional brain networks strongly depend on how their nodes are chosen. Commonly, nodes are defined by Regions of Interest (ROIs), pre-determined groupings of fMRI measurement voxels. Earlier, we have demonstrated that the functional homogeneity of ROIs, captured by their spatial consistency, varies widely across ROIs in commonly-used brain atlases. Here, we ask how ROIs behave as nodes of dynamic brain networks. To this end, we use two measures: spatiotemporal consistency measures changes in spatial consistency across time and network turnover quantifies the changes in the local network structure around a ROI. We find that spatial consistency varies non-uniformly in space and time, which is reflected in the variation of spatiotemporal consistency across ROIs. Further, we see time-dependent changes in the network neighborhoods of the ROIs, reflected in high network turnover. Network turnover is nonuniformly distributed across ROIs: ROIs with high spatiotemporal consistency have low network turnover. Finally, we reveal that there is rich voxel-level correlation structure inside ROIs. Because the internal structure and the connectivity of ROIs vary in time, the common approach of using static node definitions may be surprisingly inaccurate. Therefore, network neuroscience would greatly benefit from node definition strategies tailored for dynamical networks.

description: To assess the potential role of biological soil crusts and native perennial grasses in the establishment and resource acquisition of three invasive species of Centaurea in the Columbia Basin Ecoregion, I conducted two different multi-year, multi-site, field-based investigations. In one study, C. maculosa, C. diffusa, and C. solstitialis were experimentally invaded into nine habitat types across three disturbance regimes. In another study, plot-level species removals allowed inference of the competitive effects of native bunchgrasses on Centaurea species and of Centaurea species on the native bunchgrasses. Recruitment of Centaurea species was approximately 1-2% in non-disturbed (control) plots compared to 5-10% in the disturbance treatments. Regionally, within the disturbance treatments, there were no overall differences in establishment between plots where the soil crust was removed and plots where the plants and the soil crusts were removed although species and treatment differences did occur at some sites. Rates of establishment for all three Centaurea species were positively correlated with precipitation across years and sites. Experimental removal of native bunchgrasses did not result in elevated leaf water potential of Centaurea species relative to control plots (grasses and Centaurea individuals present) at any sites for any of the Centaurea species tested. Midday leaf water potentials for Centaurea species decreased from -1.0 MPa in May to -2.5 MPa in July regardless of native bunchgrass presence. Midday leaf water potentials for native bunchgrasses decreased from -1.5 MPa in May to approximately -4.0 MPa in July. Native bunchgrasses maintained greater leaf water potentials in plots where Centaurea individuals had been removed compared to bunchgrasses in control plots early in the season (0.16 MPa mean difference, p = 0.007) and late in the growing season (0.70 MPa mean difference, p < 0.0001). In a greenhouse study, Festuca idahoensis individuals grown with Centaurea maculosa produced 0.54 (+/- 0.1) grams of root mass in the 10-20 cm depth range compared to 1.02 (+/- 0.2) grams of root mass at the same depths, for Festuca idahoensis individuals grown with a conspecific. These data suggest that Centaurea maculosa achieves its competitive effect through negatively affecting the rooting depth of Festuca idahoensis individuals.

description: The poverty alleviation through education is one of the important ways to get rid of poverty accurately in poor areas. Located in the high mountains and deep valleys along the Jinsha River, Luquan Yi and Miao Autonomous County in Yunnan Province is one of the key counties in poverty alleviation and development work in China with a wide range of poverty and deep poverty. To enable children in poor areas to receive a good education is not only an important task of poverty alleviation and development, but also an important way to block the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Because of the complexity and difference of geography, history and culture, and the particularity and diversity of educational development appeal, it is often difficult to carry out poverty alleviation through education. Poor counties develop well education so that poor counties have new achievements. In recent years, Luquan County has adhered to the concept of "vigorously developing education" by making every effort to create a characteristic project with education to help the poor, and strived to achieve the "six solutions" so that every child can enjoy quality and fair education, and ensure that "they can get in, stay and learn well". This shows the new look of Miao and Yi mountains in the new era. This paper analyzes and summarizes the specific methods and effects, characteristics and bright spots of accurately building the model of "well education in poor county" in this county, as well as the experience gained, and the lessons, in order to provide the necessary reference for the poor counties in Yunnan Province and other similar provinces (municipalities, autonomous regions) to carry out rural poverty alleviation by education.

description: Adversarial face examples possess two critical properties: Visual Quality and Transferability. However, existing approaches rarely address these properties simultaneously, leading to subpar results. To address this issue, we propose a novel adversarial attack technique known as Adversarial Restoration (AdvRestore), which enhances both visual quality and transferability of adversarial face examples by leveraging a face restoration prior. In our approach, we initially train a Restoration Latent Diffusion Model (RLDM) designed for face restoration. Subsequently, we employ the inference process of RLDM to generate adversarial face examples. The adversarial perturbations are applied to the intermediate features of RLDM. Additionally, by treating RLDM face restoration as a sibling task, the transferability of the generated adversarial face examples is further improved. Our experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed attack method.

title: School boards in transition

Year: 2009
Subjects: School board members -- Selection and appointment

description: The overall purpose of this study was to examine and inform the process of school board member induction in a local school district using action research methodology. This study was conducted in a large, urban school district, where in addition to adding two new school board members within a two year span, recently a third new member was selected. Data were collected through interviews with experienced board members and the most recently appointed board member. Additionally, the perspective of the superintendent was included through the role of coresearcher. This study was guided by these research questions: (a) What is the superintendent's role in the induction process and how do they influence the process? (b) How do existing board members influence the transition and induction of new members? (c) When the school board gains a new member and enters into a transition, what activities and/or strategies are integral elements of an induction process, contributing to the development of a new team and readying the new member to function in their new role? (d) How does an induction process support the on-going work of the school board? and (e) What improvements can be made to the induction process used in this district? As a result of collaborative analysis sessions with the superintendent, a number of conclusions and recommendations were generated. First, when a school board experiences transition, the process of inducting the new member or members is critically and can be leveraged as a board development practice. The second is that the superintendent/board relationship is not only a multi-faceted and essential association, the relationship among board members can also be complex, and when a new board member joins the leadership team, it has an effect on the entire team. Third, the role of board member requires specific technical knowledge in addition to process knowledge. Last, the process of induction is complex and should be seen as an on-going professional learning experience for the entire team versus a onestop isolated training episode that focuses only on the new board member. Each of these conclusions led to recommendations for future inductions.

description: Recent studies have shown that material structures, which lack structural inversion symmetry and have high spin-orbit coupling can exhibit chiral magnetic textures and skyrmions which could be a key component for next generation storage devices. The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction (DMI) that stabilizes skyrmions is an anti-symmetric exchange interaction favoring non-collinear orientation of neighboring spins. It has been shown that material systems with high DMI can lead to very efficient domain wall and skyrmion motion by spin-orbit torques. To engineer such devices, it is important to quantify the DMI for a given material system. Here we extract the DMI at the Heavy Metal (HM) /Ferromagnet (FM) interface using two complementary measurement schemes namely asymmetric domain wall motion and the magnetic stripe annihilation. By using the two different measurement schemes, we find for W(5 nm)/Co20Fe60B20(0.6 nm)/MgO(2 nm) the DMI to be 0.68 +/- 0.05 mJ/m2 and 0.73 +/- 0.5 mJ/m2, respectively. Furthermore, we show that this DMI stabilizes skyrmions at room temperature and that there is a strong dependence of the DMI on the relative composition of the CoFeB alloy. Finally we optimize the layers and the interfaces using different growth conditions and demonstrate that a higher deposition rate leads to a more uniform film with reduced pinning and skyrmions that can be manipulated by Spin-Orbit Torques.

description: The implications of the WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) third year data for inflation are investigated using both the slow-roll approximation and an exact numerical integration of the inflationary power spectra including a phenomenological modelling of the reheating era. At slow-roll leading order, the constraints epsilon_1 < 0.022 and -0.07 < epsilon_2 < 0.07 are obtained at 95% CL (Confidence Level) implying a tensor-to-scalar ratio r_10 < 0.21 and a Hubble parameter during inflation H/Mpl < 1.3 x 10^(-5). At next-to-leading order, a tendency for epsilon_3 > 0 is observed. With regards to the exact numerical integration, large field models, V(phi) proportional to phi^p, with p > 3.1 are now excluded at 95% CL. Small field models, V(phi) proportional to 1-(phi/mu)^p, are still compatible with the data for all values of p. However, if mu/Mpl < 10 is assumed, then the case p = 2 is slightly disfavoured. In addition, mild constraints on the reheating temperature for an extreme equation of state w_reh = -1/3 are found, namely T_reh > 2 TeV at 95% CL. Hybrid models are disfavoured by the data, the best fit model having Delta chi^2 = +5 with two extra parameters in comparison with large field models. Running mass models remain compatible, but no prior independent constraints can be obtained. Finally, superimposed oscillations of trans-Planckian origin are studied. The vanilla slow-roll model is still the most probable one. However, the overall statistical weight in favour of superimposed oscillations has increased in comparison with the WMAP first year data, the amplitude of the oscillations satisfying 2|x|sigma_0 < 0.76 at 95% CL. The best fit model leads to an improvement of Delta chi^2 = -12 for three extra parameters. Moreover, compared to other oscillatory patterns, the logarithmic shape is favoured.

Extended Schmidt law holds for faint dwarf irregular galaxies

description: The extended Schmidt law (ESL) is a variant of the Schmidt law which relates the surface densities of gas and star formation, with the surface density of stellar mass added as an extra parameter. We empirically investigate for the first time whether low metallicity faint dwarf irregular galaxies (dIrrs) follow the ESL. Here we consider the `global' law where surface densities are averaged over the galactic discs. dIrrs are unique not only because they are at the lowest end of mass and star formation scales for galaxies, but also because they are metal-poor compared to the general population of galaxies. Our sample is drawn from the Faint Irregular Galaxy GMRT Survey (FIGGS) which is the largest survey of atomic hydrogen in such galaxies. The gas surface densities are determined using their atomic hydrogen content. The star formation rates are calculated using GALEX far ultraviolet fluxes after correcting for dust extinction, whereas the stellar surface densities are calculated using Spitzer 3.6 $μ$m fluxes. All surface densities are calculated over stellar discs defined by the 3.6 $μ$m images. We find dIrrs indeed follow the extended Schmidt law. The mean deviation of the FIGGS galaxies from the relation is 0.01 dex, with a scatter around the relation of less than half that seen in the original relation. In comparison, we also show that the FIGGS galaxies are much more deviant when compared to the `canonical' Kennicutt-Schmidt relation. Our results help strengthen the universality of the extended Schmidt law, especially for galaxies with low metallicities. We suggest that models of star formation in which feedback from previous generations of stars set the pressure in the ISM, are promising candidates for explaining the ESL. We also confirm that ESL is an independent relation and not a form of a relation between star formation efficiency and metallicity.

Battered women's evaluations of their intimate partners as a possible mediating factor between abuse and self-concept

Subjects: Abused women

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not battered women's evaluations of their intimate partners mediate the relationship between the abuse they experience and their self-concept. A convenience sample of 196 heterosexual women was recruited from seven shelters for abused women in` the states of Wisconsin, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, California, and Oklahoma. Participants completed anonymously scales assessing four specific forms of abuse and two different levels of partner evaluations and self-concept. An integration of the Pearson and standard multiple regression analyses revealed a significant and inverse relationship between physical threats and global self-esteem as well as a significant and positive association between domain-specific appraisals of intimate partners and domain-specific self-conceptions. Results also indicate: (a) that battered women suffer poor selfconcept, (b) that physical and psychological abuse co-occur frequently, and (c) that different forms of abuse are differentially related to battered women's self-concept. The investigation as a whole provides empirical evidence against theoretical postulates about battered women's idealization of their abusive partners and against the hypothesized mediating role of partner evaluations in the association between intimate partner aggression and women's self-concept. The overall findings imply ongoing changes in a battered woman's internal state as she goes through different developmental stages in her process of breaking away from the cycle of intimate partner aggression.
Development of Maximum Conical Shock Angle Limit for Osculating Cone Waveriders

description: Hypersonic waveriders are special shapes with leading edges coincident with the body's shock wave, yielding high lift-to-drag ratios. The waverider geometry results from streamline tracing using the solutions of a basic flow field such as the wedge or the cone for specified shock and base curves. The base and shock curves can be independently prescribed in the osculating cone method enabling a larger design space. Generally, low values of the conical shock angle (9-15 degrees) are used. The lack of any method to limit the maximum cone angle for osculating cone waverider motivates this study. Mathematical expressions are derived for geometrical conditions that result in successful osculating cone waverider generation. A power law curve and a Bezier curve are analyzed. Closed-form expressions for the maximum cone shock angle are obtained for the power law curve. A numerical procedure to solve the same for the Bezier curve is developed. The results, for a typical Mach number of 6.0, evidently show that the maximum cone shock angle for successful waverider generation is significantly lower than the maximum angle for attached shock solutions. The limiting conditions developed will be essential in constraining the waverider sample space for automated multiobjective optimization routines.

In addition, an upper bound for the loss of regularity that occurs when passing from the Cauchy data to the solutions is established. In examples, this upper bound turns out to be sharp.

These ensure that we find the optimal operating regime for corrected state transfer. For a specific class of system, we further show that while dephasing noise can be corrected, depolarising noise cannot.

Subjects: Organizational sociology

description: Organizational socialization research regarding new employees is well established. However, research of this nature provides a largely one-sided view of organizational entry processes. Although newcomers experience uncertainty and the specific types of uncertainty have been established in previous research, the newcomer s entry creates uncertainty for veteran employees as well (Gallagher & Sias, 2009). The new hire changes the normal routine and flow of work activities as well as the social atmosphere of the organization. This manuscript presents a project that was designed to develop and test a model of veteran employee uncertainty reduction regarding new hires. New instruments were developed based on previous research. The instruments were tested, revised, and developed throughout three studies using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Particular attention was paid to the psychometric qualities of the instruments. The third study also tested a path model of the relationships between veteran employee uncertainty, information seeking, and task interdependence. The results indicate that task interdependence between veteran employees predicts particular aspects of uncertainty and information seeking. Uncertainty about new hires also predicts the use of information seeking tactics, a relationship that is supported by Uncertainty Reduction Theory. This project represents the first quantitative analysis of the veteran employee perspective of organizational encounter, which begins to provide a more holistic view of organizational socialization processes.

Our primary result is that at fixed rest-frame wavelength and stellar mass, galaxies get progressively smaller, evolving as $\sim (1+z)^{-0.71\pm0.19}$ up to $z \sim 8$. We discover that the vast majority of massive galaxies at high redshifts have low Sérsic indices, thus do not contain steep, concentrated light profiles. Additionally, we explore the evolution of the size-stellar mass relationship, finding a correlation such that more massive systems are larger up to $z \sim 3$. This relationship breaks down at $z > 3$, where we find that galaxies are of similar sizes, regardless of their star formation rates and Sérsic index, varying little with mass. We show that galaxies are more compact at redder wavelengths, independent of sSFR or stellar mass up to $z \sim 3$. We demonstrate the size evolution of galaxies continues up to $z \sim 8$, showing that the process or causes for this evolution is active at early times. We discuss these results in terms of ideas behind galaxy formation and evolution at early epochs, such as their importance in tracing processes driving size evolution, including minor mergers and AGN activity.

description: Green's formulas for elliptic cone differential operators are established. This is done by an accurate description of the maximal domain of an elliptic cone differential operator and its formal adjoint, thereby utilizing the concept of a discrete asymptotic type. From this description, the singular coefficients replacing the boundary traces in classical Green's formulas are deduced.

description: Periodically driven systems provide a novel route to control the topology of quantum materials. In particular, Floquet theory allows an effective band description of periodically-driven systems through the Floquet Hamiltonian. Here, we study the time evolution of $d$-wave superconductors irradiated with intense circularly-polarized laser light. We consider the Floquet $t$-$J$ model with time-periodic interactions, and investigate its mean-field dynamics by formulating the time-dependent Gutzwiller approximation. We observe the development of the $id_{xy}$-wave pairing amplitude along with the original $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave order upon gradual increasing of the field amplitude. We further numerically construct the Floquet Hamiltonian for the steady state, with which we identify the system as the fully-gapped $d+id$ superconducting phase with a nonzero Chern number. We explore the low-frequency regime where the perturbative approaches in the previous studies break down, and find that the topological gap of an experimentally-accessible size can be achieved at much lower laser intensities.

description: We present ELDAR, a new method that exploits the potential of medium- and narrow-band filter surveys to securely identify active galactic nuclei (AGN) and determine their redshifts. Our methodology improves on traditional approaches by looking for AGN emission lines expected to be identified against the continuum, thanks to the width of the filters. To assess its performance, we apply ELDAR to the data of the ALHAMBRA survey, which covered an effective area of $2.38\,{\rm deg}^2$ with 20 contiguous medium-band optical filters down to F814W$\simeq 24.5$. Using two different configurations of ELDAR in which we require the detection of at least 2 and 3 emission lines, respectively, we extract two catalogues of type-I AGN. The first is composed of 585 sources ($79\,\%$ of them spectroscopically-unknown) down to F814W$=22.5$ at $z_{\rm phot}>1$, which corresponds to a surface density of $209\,{\rm deg}^{-2}$. In the second, the 494 selected sources ($83\,\%$ of them spectroscopically-unknown) reach F814W$=23$ at $z_{\rm phot}>1.5$, for a corresponding number density of $176\,{\rm deg}^{-2}$. Then, using samples of spectroscopically-known AGN in the ALHAMBRA fields, for the two catalogues we estimate a completeness of $73\,\%$ and $67\,\%$, and a redshift precision of $1.01\,\%$ and $0.86\,\%$ (with outliers fractions of $8.1\,\%$ and $5.8\,\%$). At $z>2$, where our selection performs best, we reach $85\,\%$ and $77\,\%$ completeness and we find no contamination from galaxies.

title: Rumination, stress and depression
title: Rumination as a diathesis for depression

description: Existing theory on stress and depression, and rumination and depression were considered in proposing rumination as a diathesis for depression. The following hypotheses were tested: 1) rumination will moderate the relationship between stress and depressed mood, such that those who are higher in rumination will experience higher levels of future depressed mood than those who are lower in rumination, and 2) women's rumination scores will be higher than men's rumination scores. To test these hypotheses, 280 college student participants were recruited to participate in the study with two assessment times in which participants completed a questionnaire packet assessing rumination, depressed mood and stress. Results of the study did not suggest that rumination is a diathesis for depression. Instead, results suggested that rumination in fact may be adaptive when processing stressful life events. Additionally, women were found to ruminate more than men. Implications of the study and future research possibilities were discussed.
$K_S^0-K_L^0$ Asymmetries and $CP$ Violation in Charmed Baryon Decays into Neutral Kaons

description: We study the $K^0_S-K^0_L$ asymmetries and $CP$ violations in charm-baryon decays with neutral kaons in the final state. The $K^0_S-K^0_L$ asymmetry can be used to search for two-body doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitudes of charm-baryon decays, with the one in $Λ^+_c\to pK^0_{S,L}$ as a promising observable. Besides, it is studied for a new $CP$-violation effect in these processes, induced by the interference between the Cabibbo-favored and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed amplitudes with the neutral kaon mixing. Once the new CP-violation effect is determined by experiments, the direct $CP$ asymmetry in neutral kaon modes can then be extracted and used to search for new physics. The numerical results based on $SU(3)$ symmetry will be tested by the experiments in the future.

description: We compute the light hadron mass spectrum at beta=5.7 using the O(a) improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (SW) fermion action with two choices of the clover coefficient: the classical value, c=1, and a mean-field or tadpole-improved estimate c=1.57. We compare our results with those of the GF11 Collaboration who use the Wilson fermion action (c=0). We find that changing c from zero to 1 and 1.57 leads to significant differences in the masses of the chirally extrapolated and strange pseudoscalar and vector mesons, the nucleon, the Delta, and also in the Edinburgh plot. A number of other quantities, for example m_V^2-m_PS^2, J, am_K/am_ρand am_{K^*}/am_ρdo not appear to change significantly. We also investigate the effect of changing the lattice volume from approximately (2 fm)^3 to (2.6 fm)^3. We find that the meson masses are consistent to within one standard deviation and baryon masses are consistent to within two standard deviations.
