description: The presence of source code that is no longer needed is a handicap to project maintainability. The larger and longer-lived the project, the higher the chances of accumulating dead code in its different forms. Manually detecting unused code is time-consuming, tedious, error-prone, and requires a great level of deep knowledge about the codebase. In this paper, we examine the kinds of dead code (specifically, oxbow code) that can appear in Erlang projects, and formulate rules to identify them with high accuracy. We also present an open-source static analyzer that implements these rules, allowing for the automatic detection and confident removal of oxbow code in Erlang codebases, actively contributing to increasing their quality and maintainability.

description: HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 avoid concurrent connections but instead multiplex requests over a single connection. Besides enabling new features, this reduces overhead and enables fair bandwidth sharing. Redundant connections should hence be a story of the past with HTTP/2. However, they still exist, potentially hindering innovation and performance. Thus, we measure their spread and analyze their causes in this paper. We find that 36% - 72% of the 6.24M HTTP Archive and 78% of the Alexa Top 100k websites cause Chromium-based webbrowsers to open superfluous connections. We mainly attribute these to domain sharding, despite HTTP/2 efforts to revert it, and DNS load balancing, but also the Fetch Standard.

description: We present the first part of a new catalog of variable stars (OIII-CVS) compiled from the data collected in the course of the third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-III). In this paper we describe the catalog of 3361 classical Cepheids detected in the ~40 square degrees area in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The sample consists of 1848 fundamental-mode (F), 1228 first-overtone (1O), 14 second-overtone (2O), 61 double-mode F/1O, 203 double-mode 1O/2O, 2 double-mode 1O/3O, and 5 triple-mode classical Cepheids. This sample is supplemented by the list of 23 ultra-low amplitude variable stars which may be Cepheids entering or exiting instability strip. The catalog data include VI high-quality photometry collected since 2001, and for some stars supplemented by the OGLE-II photometry obtained between 1997 and 2000. We provide basic parameters of the stars: coordinates, periods, mean magnitudes, amplitudes and parameters of the Fourier light curve decompositions. Individual objects of particular interest are discussed, including single-mode second-overtone Cepheids, multiperiodic pulsators with unusual period ratios or Cepheids in eclipsing binary systems. We discuss the variations of the Fourier coefficients with periods and point out on the sharp feature for periods around 0.35 days of first-overtone Cepheids, which can be explained by the occurrence of 2:1 resonance between the first and fifth overtones. Similar behavior at P=3 days for 1O Cepheids and P=10 days for F Cepheids are also interpreted as an effect of resonances between two radial modes. We fit the period-luminosity relations to our sample of Cepheids and compare these functions with previous determinations.

On the oscillations in Mercury's obliquity

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: One major objective of MESSENGER and BepiColombo spatial missions is to accurately measure Mercury's rotation and its obliquity in order to obtain constraints on internal structure of the planet. Which is the obliquity's dynamical behavior deriving from a complete spin-orbit motion of Mercury simultaneously integrated with planetary interactions? We have used our SONYR model integrating the spin-orbit N-body problem applied to the solar System (Sun and planets). For lack of current accurate observations or ephemerides of Mercury's rotation, and therefore for lack of valid initial conditions for a numerical integration, we have built an original method for finding the libration center of the spin-orbit system and, as a consequence, for avoiding arbitrary amplitudes in librations of the spin-orbit motion as well as in Mercury's obliquity. The method has been carried out in two cases: (1) the spin-orbit motion of Mercury in the 2-body problem case (Sun-Mercury) where an uniform precession of the Keplerian orbital plane is kinematically added at a fixed inclination (S2K case), (2) the spin-orbit motion of Mercury in the N-body problem case (Sun and planets) (Sn case). We find that the remaining amplitude of the oscillations in the Sn case is one order of magnitude larger than in the S2K case, namely 4 versus 0.4 arcseconds (peak-to-peak). The mean obliquity is also larger, namely 1.98 versus 1.80 arcminutes, for a difference of 10.8 arcseconds. These theoretical results are in a good agreement with recent radar observations but it is not excluded that it should be possible to push farther the convergence process by drawing nearer still more precisely to the libration center.

Empathy training for adolescent peer counselling
Creators: name: Pachal, Doreen Mae
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study sought to test the feasibility of training sixth-grade girls to assist in the counselling process. In particular, their ability to learn and demonstrate the skill of empathic responding was assessed. The research study involved 24 volunteer girls who were randomly assigned to three groups, those who; (a) received training in paraphrasing and reflection of feeling, (b) received training which included paraphrasing, reflection of feeling and positive self-instruction, and (c) formed a control group. Because of the possibility that empathy may often be inhibited by self-concern, positive self-instruction was included to discover whether reminders to concentrate on another person would reduce anxiety in trainees and facilitate their expressions of empathy. Subjects' skills were assessed by: (a) girls in the same grade at a different school, (b) expert adult judges relying upon audiotapes, and (c) an expert adult judge who also acted as client. Experts used the Carkhuff (1969) Scale of Empathic Understanding in Interpersonal Processes, and the peers used a modified Carkhuff scale constructed for the study. The findings were as follows: (a) significant increases in empathy for the trained groups, when compared to the control group, on the basis of expert ratings, (b) no significant difference in empathy among groups when rated by peers acting as clients, (c) no significant correlation between ratings of peer clients and experts, (d) no significant difference in empathy between the two trained groups. Thus, training produced significant increases in empathy, as measured by experts; however, other findings suggested that sixth-grade girls wanted good advice along with empathy from their peers. Training at this developmental stage should probably include problem-solving skills in addition to empathy.
Ionised Emission and Absorption in a Large Sample of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources

description: Most Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are thought to be powered by super-Eddington accretion onto stellar-mass compact objects. Accretors in this extreme regime are naturally expected to ionise copious amounts of plasma in their vicinity and launch powerful radiation-driven outflows from their discs. High spectral resolution X-ray observations (with RGS gratings onboard XMM-Newton) of a few ULXs with the best datasets indeed found complex line spectra and confirmed such extreme (0.1-0.3c) winds. However, a search for plasma signatures in a large ULX sample with a rigorous technique has never been performed, thereby preventing us from understanding their statistical properties such as the rate of occurrence, to constrain the outflow geometry and its duty cycle. We developed a fast method for automated line detection in X-ray spectra and applied it to the full RGS ULX archive, rigorously quantifying the statistical significance of any candidate lines. Collecting the 135 most significant features detected in 89 observations of 19 objects, we created the first catalogue of spectral lines detected in soft X-ray ULX spectra. We found that the detected emission lines are concentrated around known rest-frame elemental transitions and thus originate from low-velocity material. The absorption lines instead avoid these transitions, suggesting they were imprinted by blueshifted outflows. Such winds therefore appear common among the ULX population. Additionally, we found that spectrally hard ULXs show fewer line detections than soft ULXs, indicating some difference in their accretion geometry and orientation, possibly causing over-ionisation of plasma by the harder spectral energy distributions of harder ULXs.

description: The nuclear force acting between protons and neutrons is studied in the Monte Carlo simulations of the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, the quantum chromodynamics defined on the hypercubic space-time lattice. After a brief summary of the empirical nucleon-nucleon (NN) potentials which can fit the NN scattering experiments in high precision, we outline the basic formulation to derive the potential between the extended objects such as the nucleons composed of quarks. The equal-time Bethe-Salpeter amplitude is a key ingredient for defining the NN potential on the lattice. We show the results of the numerical simulations on a $32^4$ lattice with the lattice spacing $a \simeq 0.137 $fm (lattice volume (4.4 fm)$^4$) in the quenched approximation. The calculation was carried out using the massively parallel computer Blue Gene/L at KEK. We found that the calculated NN potential at low energy has basic features expected from the empirical NN potentials; attraction at long and medium distances and the repulsive core at short distance. Various future directions along this line of research are also summarized.

description: The use of low-dimensional objects in the field of cavity optomechanics is limited by their low scattering cross section compared to the size of the optical cavity mode. Fiber-based Fabry-Pérot microcavities can feature tiny mode cross sections and still maintain a high finesse, boosting the light-matter interaction and thus enabling the sensitive detection of the displacement of minute objects. Here we present such an ultrasensitive microcavity setup with the highest finesse reported so far in loaded fiber cavities, $\mathcal{F} = 195\,000$. We are able to position-tune the static optomechanical coupling to a silicon nitride membrane stripe, reaching frequency pull parameters of up to $\mathrm{\lvert G/2π\rvert=1}\,\mathrm{GHz\, nm^{-1}}$. We also demonstrate radiation pressure backaction in the regime of an ultrahigh finesse up to $\mathcal{F}=165\,000$.

description: Estimating Kullback Leibler (KL) divergence from samples of two distributions is essential in many machine learning problems. Variational methods using neural network discriminator have been proposed to achieve this task in a scalable manner. However, we noted that most of these methods using neural network discriminators suffer from high fluctuations (variance) in estimates and instability in training. In this paper, we look at this issue from statistical learning theory and function space complexity perspective to understand why this happens and how to solve it. We argue that the cause of these pathologies is lack of control over the complexity of the neural network discriminator function and could be mitigated by controlling it. To achieve this objective, we 1) present a novel construction of the discriminator in the Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS), 2) theoretically relate the error probability bound of the KL estimates to the complexity of the discriminator in the RKHS space, 3) present a scalable way to control the complexity (RKHS norm) of the discriminator for a reliable estimation of KL divergence, and 4) prove the consistency of the proposed estimator. In three different applications of KL divergence : estimation of KL, estimation of mutual information and Variational Bayes, we show that by controlling the complexity as developed in the theory, we are able to reduce the variance of KL estimates and stabilize the training

description: Rule-governed behavior is generally considered an integral component of complex verbal repertoires but has rarely been the subject of empirical research. In particular, little or no previous research has attempted to establish rule-governed behavior in individuals who do not already display the repertoire. This study consists of two experiments that evaluated multiple exemplar training procedures for teaching a simple component skill, which may be necessary for developing a repertoire of rule-governed behavior. In both experiments, children with autism were taught to respond to simple rules that specified antecedents and the behaviors that should occur in their presence. In the first study, participants were taught to respond to rules containing “if/then” statements, where the antecedent was specified before the behavior. The second experiment was a replication and extension of the first. It involved a variation on the manner in which rules were presented. Both experiments eventually demonstrated generalization to novel rules for all participants; however variations to the standard procedure were required for several participants. Results suggest that rule-following can be analyzed and taught as generalized operant behavior and implications for future research are discussed.

description: We consider the influence of interparticle interaction on the magnetization reversal in the oriented Stoner-Wohlfarth nanoparticles ensemble. To do so, we solve a kinetic equation for the relaxation of the overall ensemble magnetization to its equilibrium value in some effective mean field. Latter field consists of external magnetic field and interaction mean field proportional to the instantaneous value of above magnetization. We show that the interparticle interaction influences the temperature dependence of a coercive field. This influence manifests itself in the noticeable coercivity at $T>T_{b}$ ($T_{b}$ is so-called blocking temperature). The above interaction can also lead to a formation of the "superferromagnetic" state with correlated directions of particle magnetic moments at $T>T_{b}$. This state possesses coercivity if the overall magnetization has a component directed along the easy axis of each particle. We have shown that the coercive field in the "superferromagnetic" state does not depend on measuring time. This time influences both $T_{b}$ and the temperature dependence of coercive field at $T

description: Communication systems at millimeter-wave (mmW) and sub-terahertz frequencies are of increasing interest for future high-data rate networks. One critical challenge faced by phased array systems at these high frequencies is the efficiency of the initial beam alignment, typically using only phase-less power measurements due to high frequency oscillator phase noise. Traditional methods for beam alignment require exhaustive sweeps of all possible beam directions, thus scale communications overhead linearly with antenna array size. For better scaling with the large arrays required at high mmW bands, compressive sensing methods have been proposed as their overhead scales logarithmically with the array size. However, algorithms utilizing machine learning have shown more efficient and more accurate alignment when using real hardware due to array impairments. Additionally, few existing phase-less beam alignment algorithms have been tested over varied secondary path strength in multipath channels. In this work, we introduce a novel, machine learning based algorithm for beam alignment in multipath environments using only phase-less received power measurements. We consider the impacts of phased array sounding beam design and machine learning architectures on beam alignment performance and validate our findings experimentally using 60 GHz radios with 36-element phased arrays. Using experimental data in multipath channels, our proposed algorithm demonstrates an 88\% reduction in beam alignment overhead compared to an exhaustive search and at least a 62\% reduction in overhead compared to existing compressive methods.

Such interference patterns are commonly interpreted as the momentum distributions of the trapped quantum gas. We show that for finite time-of-flights the resulting density distribution can, however, be significantly altered, similar to a near-field diffraction regime in optics. We illustrate our findings with a simple model and realistic quantum Monte Carlo simulations for bosonic atoms, and compare the latter to experiments.

description: Affect regulation is generally considered the most important function of music listening (FML). Yet, models of wellbeing also highlight engagement, relationships, meaning, achievement, and other adaptive functions that music may facilitate. However, there is currently no consensus as to how these adaptive FML co-function within an enhancement system that supports wellbeing. The current study used the collective intelligence methodology, Interactive Management (IM) to address this gap in the literature. Four IM sessions were conducted, two with younger adults (N = 24) and two with older adults (N = 19). Participants responded to the stimulus question ¿why do you listen to music?¿ Each participant then voted for five FML they believed were most significant for enhancing wellbeing. The eight highest ranked functions were entered into Interpretive Structural Modelling software, and relations between pairs of FML were discussed. Four structural models were generated demonstrating potential interdependencies in FML in the context of wellbeing enhancement. Age differences emerged in the FML considered adaptive: younger adults emphasized affect regulation and social connection, whereas older adults emphasized more eudaimonic functions of music (e.g., Transcendence and personal growth). The influence of FML are discussed in reference to key wellbeing and developmental theories.

Essential process components of conflict split resolution
Creators: name: McDonald, Linda Katherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Nine Gestalt two-chair dialogue conflict resolution performances were compared with nine non-resolution performances on structural analysis of social behaviour, depth of experiencing and voice quality. These performances were used to test whether three proposed process components had the power to discriminate between the successful and unsuccessful performances. Using Fisher's Exact Test of Probability (Siegel, 1956), between-group comparisons were made as to the attainment of the "softening" client performance pattern in the "other chair," the attainment of the "felt wants" client performance pattern in the "experiencing chair," and the attainment of the "values and standards" client performance pattern in the "other chair." It was found that these three process components did discriminate between resolution and non-resolution performances, thus verifying these client performance patterns as component processes essential to the resolution of conflict splits. Credibility was thereby added to the Revised Model of Conflict Split Resolution (Johnson, 1980) from which the hypothesized client performance patterns were generated. In addition, all the clients in this study who resolved their conflict splits demonstrated the "softening" performance pattern, and all considered their "softening" experience as their most significant moment of change, thereby contributing further support to the consideration of the "softening" client performance pattern as the key process component in the process of change.

description: We propose that the origin of faint, broad emission-line wings in the Green Pea (GP) analog Mrk 71 is a clumpy, LyC and/or Ly$α$-driven superwind. Our spatially-resolved analysis of Gemini-N/GMOS-IFU observations shows that these line wings with terminal velocity $>3000~\rm{km~s^{-1}}$ originate from the super star cluster (SSC) Knot A, and propagate to large radii. The object's observed ionization parameter and stellar surface density are close to their theoretical maxima, and radiation pressure dominates over gas pressure. Together with a lack of evidence for supernova feedback, these imply a radiation-dominated environment. We demonstrate that a clumpy, radiation-driven superwind from Knot A is a viable model for generating the extreme velocities, and in particular, that Lyman continuum and/or Ly$α$ opacity must be responsible. We find that the Mrk 71 broad wings are best fitted with power laws, as are those of a representative extreme GP and a luminous blue variable star, albeit with different slopes. This suggests that they may share a common wind-acceleration mechanism. We propose that high-velocity, power-law wings may be a distinctive signature of radiation feedback, and of radiatively-driven winds, in particular.

H3+ in Diffuse Interstellar Clouds: a Tracer for the Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate

description: Using high resolution infrared spectroscopy we have surveyed twenty sightlines for H3+ absorption. H3+ is detected in eight diffuse cloud sightlines with column densities varying from 0.6x10^14 cm^-2 to 3.9x10^14 cm^-2. This brings to fourteen the total number of diffuse cloud sightlines where H3+ has been detected. These detections are mostly along sightlines concentrated in the Galactic plane, but well dispersed in Galactic longitude. The results imply that abundant H3+ is common in the diffuse interstellar medium. Because of the simple chemistry associated with H3+ production and destruction, these column density measurements can be used in concert with various other data to infer the primary cosmic-ray ionization rate, zeta_p. Values range from 0.5x10^-16 s^-1 to 3x10^-16 s^-1 with an average of 2x10^-16 s^-1. Where H3+ is not detected the upper limits on the ionization rate are consistent with this range. The average value of zeta_p is about an order of magnitude larger than both the canonical rate and rates previously reported by other groups using measurements of OH and HD. The discrepancy is most likely due to inaccurate measurements of rate constants and the omission of effects which were unknown when those studies were performed. We believe that the observed column density of H3+ is the most direct tracer for the cosmic-ray ionization rate due to its simple chemistry. Recent models of diffuse cloud chemistry require cosmic-ray ionization rates on the order of 10^-16 s^-1 to reproduce observed abundances of various atomic and molecular species, in rough accord with our observational findings.

description: We present a detailed analysis of XMM-Newton EPIC-pn data for the Seyfert-1 galaxy NGC 4593. We discuss the X-ray spectral properties of this source as well as its variations with time. The 0.5-10 keV spectrum shows significant complexity beyond a simple power-law form, with clear evidence existing for a "soft excess" as well as absorption by highly ionized plasma (a warm absorber) within the central engine of this active galactic nucleus. We show that the soft excess is best described as originating from thermal Comptonization by plasma that is appreciably cooler than the primary X-ray emitting plasma; we find that the form of the soft excess cannot be reproduced adequately by reflection from an ionized accretion disk. The only measurable deviation from the power-law continuum in the hard spectrum comes from the presence of cold and ionized fluorescent iron-K emission lines at 6.4 and 6.97 keV, respectively. While constraints on the ionized iron line are weak, the cold line is found to be narrow at CCD-resolution with a flux that does not track the temporal changes in the underlying continuum, implying an origin in the outer radii of the accretion disk or the putative molecular torus of Seyfert unification schemes. The X-ray continuum itself varies on all accessible time scales. We detect a ~230-second time-lag between soft and hard EPIC-pn bands that, if interpreted as scattering timescales within a Comptonizing disk corona, can be used to constrain the physical size of the primary X-ray source to a characteristic length scale of ~2 gravitational radii. Taken together, the small implied coronal size and the large implied iron line emitting region indicate a departure from the current picture of a "typical" AGN geometry.

description: In the chain compound PrBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$ localization appears simultaneously with a dimensional crossover in the electronic ground state when the scattering rate in the chains exceeds the hopping rate between the chains. Here we report the discovery of a large, transverse magnetoresistance in PrBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$ in the localized regime. This result suggests a novel form of localization whereby electrons retain their metallic (quasi-one-dimensional) character over a microscopic length scale despite the fact that macroscopically, they exhibit localized (one-dimensional) behavior.

description: The nature and origin of turbulence and magnetic fields in the intergalactic space are important problems that are yet to be understood. We propose a scenario in which turbulent flow motions are induced via the cascade of the vorticity generated at cosmological shocks during the formation of the large scale structure. The turbulence in turn amplifies weak seed magnetic fields of any origin. Supercomputer simulations show that the turbulence is subsonic inside clusters/groups of galaxies, whereas it is transonic or mildly supersonic in filaments. Based on a turbulence dynamo model, we then estimate that the average magnetic field strength would be a few microgauss inside clusters/groups, approximately 0.1 microgauss around clusters/groups, and approximately 10 nanogauss in filaments. Our model presents a physical mechanism that transfers the gravitation energy to the turbulence and magnetic field energies in the large scale structure of the universe.

subject: Irish honey bee

description: Apis mellifera mellifera, or the European dark bee, is a sub-lineage of the European honey bee that is native to North Western Europe including Ireland. Recent studies have shown that the free-living population of honey bees in Ireland is widespread and has a high level of genetic purity. This is threatened by consistent and increasing importation of foreign sub-lineages, namely C-lineage queens from either A. m. ligustica and A. m. carnica, with numbers of importations rising from just over 100 queens per year in 2012 to over 1200 per year in 2021. A survey of Irish beekeepers was undertaken to identify attitudes of Irish beekeepers towards issues such as conservation and scientific research. The results indicated that the overwhelming majority are currently supporting the conservation of the native Irish honey bee through their beekeeping practices with only a small group of respondents keeping a non-native sub-lineage in their apiaries. A whole genome pooled sequencing analysis was undertaken to identify hybrid colonies and model the current population of Irish honey bees. Over 150 Irish honey bee colonies were sampled alongside three UK and five German colonies. The use of the f3-statistics method found an increase in hybridisation rates compared with previous studies and confirmed the reports of increased importations, however, the Irish population was found to contain a large percentage of extremely pure M-lineage honey bee colonies that are an important resource in the conservation of this sub-lineage. The use of pool-seq allowed the data generated in this study to be combined with two pan-European pool-seq datasets to create a network model of European honey bee population. Groups from this model were then extracted for admixture analysis that helped identify the best course of action in regards to the future methods of conservation of the native Irish honey bee. The reliance on abdominal colour alone to detect hybridised honey bees has been challenged in recent studies and pure-black hybrids were also detected in this study. A Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test followed by a gene ontology analysis discovered genes and processes related to melanin production and cuticle development in honey bees. A microbiome analysis using shotgun metagenomics methods was carried out to investigate if management, and treatment, results in a different microbiome profile in comparison with free-living honey bee colonies. Relative abundance analysis and differential absolute abundance analysis methods both identified differences between managed and free-living honey bee microbiomes.

description: Studying information diffusion in SNS (Social Networks Service) has remarkable significance in both academia and industry. Theoretically, it boosts the development of other subjects such as statistics, sociology, and data mining. Practically, diffusion modeling provides fundamental support for many downstream applications (\textit{e.g.}, public opinion monitoring, rumor source identification, and viral marketing.) Tremendous efforts have been devoted to this area to understand and quantify information diffusion dynamics. This survey investigates and summarizes the emerging distinguished works in diffusion modeling. We first put forward a unified information diffusion concept in terms of three components: information, user decision, and social vectors, followed by a detailed introduction of the methodologies for diffusion modeling. And then, a new taxonomy adopting hybrid philosophy (\textit{i.e.,} granularity and techniques) is proposed, and we made a series of comparative studies on elementary diffusion models under our taxonomy from the aspects of assumptions, methods, and pros and cons. We further summarized representative diffusion modeling in special scenarios and significant downstream tasks based on these elementary models. Finally, open issues in this field following the methodology of diffusion modeling are discussed.

description: We show that the combined data from solar, long-baseline and reactor neutrino experiments can exclude the generalized bicycle model of Lorentz noninvariant direction-dependent and/or direction-independent oscillations of massless neutrinos. This model has five parameters, which is more than is needed in standard oscillation phenomenology with neutrino masses. Solar data alone are sufficient to exclude the pure direction-dependent case. The combination of solar and long-baseline data rules out the pure direction-independent case. With the addition of KamLAND data, a mixture of direction-dependent and direction-independent terms in the effective Hamiltonian is also excluded.

Impact of Orientation Misalignments on Black Phosphorus Ultrascaled Field-effect Transistors

description: Two-dimensional materials with strong bandstructure anisotropy such as black phosphorus BP have been identified as attractive candidates for logic application due to their potential high carrier velocity and large density-of-states. However, perfectly aligning the source-to-drain axis with the desired crystal orientation remains an experimental challenge. In this paper, we use an advanced quantum transport approach from first-principle to shed light on the influence of orientation misalignments on the performance of BP-based field-effect transistors. Both $n$-and $p$-type configurations are investigated for six alignment angles, in the ballistic limit of transport and in the presence of electron-phonon and charged impurity scattering. It is found that up to deviations of $50^{\circ}$ from the optimal angle, the ON-state current only decreases by $30\%$. This behavior is explained by considering a single bandstructure parameter, the effective mass along transport direction.

description: Elastic systems that are spatially heterogeneous in their mechanical response pose special challenges for molecular simulations. Standard methods for sampling thermal fluctuations of a system's size and shape proceed through a series of homogeneous deformations, whose magnitudes can be severely restricted by its stiffest parts. Here we present a Monte Carlo algorithm designed to circumvent this difficulty, which can be prohibitive in many systems of modern interest. By deforming randomly selected subvolumes alone, it naturally distributes the amplitude of spontaneous elastic fluctuations according to intrinsic heterogeneity. We describe in detail implementations of such "slice moves" that are consistent with detailed balance. Their practical application is illustrated for a random network of cross-linked polymers.

description: New Asian immigrants were tested on Levenson's internal control, control by powerful others and control by chance (IPC) scale. As predicted, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean scores of the subtest on the internal factor when New Asian immigrants were compared with New European immigrants, Old Asian immigrants and Caucasian faculty and staff members. Significant differences were found in the mean scores on the subtests on the powerful others and chance factors. New Asian immigrants were also tested on an Attribution scale. A high positive correlation was found between the scores measuring the internal factor of both Levenson's IPC scale and the Attribution scale.
