description: Here we present an approximate analytical theory for the relationship between a protein structure's contact matrix and the shape of its energy spectrum in amino acid sequence space. We demonstrate a dependence of the number of sequences of low energy in a structure on the eigenvalues of the structure's contact matrix, and then use a Monte Carlo simulation to test the applicability of this analytical result to cubic lattice proteins. We find that the lattice structures with the most low-energy sequences are the same as those predicted by the theory. We argue that, given sufficiently strict requirements for foldability, these structures are the most designable, and we propose a simple means to test whether the results in this paper hold true for real proteins.

Esotericism, symbolism and romanticism in Christopher Brennan's Poems
Creators: name: Barnes, Katherine
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2003

description: Drawing on evidence from three important areas of Brennan's interest, esotericism, Symbolism and Romanticism (especially early German Romanticism), this thesis argues that Brennan's Poems (1914), regarded as a livre compose, focuses on the notion of an inner, higher or transcendent self, constituted by the imaginative union of the human mind and nature. In the introduction, this point of view is contrasted with the common perception that the single theme of Poems is the quest for Eden. The first chapter examines poems which deal directly with the notion of the higher self, considering them in the context of the conflict between scepticism and the desire for faith in the long nineteenth century (roughly from the 1770s to the early 1900s), and the emergence of various concepts of a higher self during this period. The second and third chapters show that the "Lilith" sequence is central to Brennan's exploration of the relationship of the mind and nature as constitutive of the higher self. Lilith symbolises nature itself, ambiguous in its ability either to trap the human mind in the merely material, or to raise it to a higher level if it can imaginatively unite itself with nature, or "find [Lilith] fair". The fourth chapter explores Brennan's concept of "moods", a theoretical notion of the union of mind and nature which he derives from German Romantic concepts of "Stimrnung" (the mood of harmony between mind and nature) and "Gemuth" (in a specialised sense, employed in esoteric and mystical thought as well as Romantic psychology, the inner imaginative faculty within which the higher self can be brought into being); from early writings of Yeats; from his study of Les Dieux antiques, Stephane Mallarme's work on mythology; and from Walter Pater. The last three chapters show that the notion of "moods" underpins the structure of Poems. Instances of "equations" between human experience and the events of the natural cycles of day and year, which Brennan interprets in terms of the esoteric notion of "correspondences", are examined in his elegy to Mallarme, in the three poems (two called "preludes" and one called a "Liminary") which survey the entire seasonal cycle, and in the patterning of individual pieces linking certain times of day and year to particular human emotions or experiences. The union of human mind and nature is effected within the poetry itself, art being the only means (as poems such as the "Liminary" show) by which the higher or transcendent self may actually be grasped.
Coherent Showers in Decays of Colored Resonances

description: We present a new approach to coherent parton showers in the decays of coloured resonances, based on the notion of "resonance-final" (RF) QCD antennae. A full set of mass- and helicity-dependent $2\to 3$ antenna functions are defined, with the additional requirement of positivity over the respective branching phase spaces. Their singularity structure is identical to that of initial-final (IF) antennae in $2\to N$ hard processes (once mass terms associated with the incoming legs are allowed for), but the phase-space factorisations are different. The consequent radiation patterns respect QCD coherence (at leading colour) and reduce to Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi and eikonal kernels in the respective collinear and soft limits. The main novelty in the phase-space factorisation is that branchings in RF antennae impart a collective recoil to the other partons within the same decay system. An explicit implementation of these ideas, based on the Sudakov veto algorithm, is provided in the VINCIA antenna-shower plug-in to the PYTHIA 8 Monte Carlo event generator. We apply our formalism, matched to next-to-leading order accuracy using POWHEG, to top quark production at the LHC, and investigate implications for direct measurement of the top quark mass. Finally, we make recommendations for assessing theoretical uncertainties arising from parton showers in this context.

description: To estimate causal treatment effects, we propose a new matching approach based on the reduced covariates obtained from sufficient dimension reduction. Compared with the original covariates and the propensity score, which are commonly used for matching in the literature, the reduced covariates are nonparametrically estimable and are effective in imputing the missing potential outcomes, under a mild assumption on the low-dimensional structure of the data. Under the ignorability assumption, the consistency of the proposed approach requires a weaker common support condition. In addition, researchers are allowed to employ different reduced covariates to find matched subjects for different treatment groups. We develop relevant asymptotic results and conduct simulation studies as well as real data analysis to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.

description: Amphetamines and cannabis are the most commonly used illicit substances in Australia and are associated with a range of severe mental health problems, including psychosis. While a number of studies have previously examined the symptom profiles of amphetamine users and cannabis users with psychosis, it remains unclear whether these patients experience differences in the severity and clinical course of their symptoms and behaviour compared to non-using patients with psychosis. This thesis examined the demographics, psychiatric and family history, premorbid adjustment, clinical symptoms, and disturbed behaviours of 98 inpatients admitted to hospital with an early psychosis. The TimeLine Follow Back method was used to determine substance use in the 30 days prior to admission, allowing participants to be categorised according to the following drug classes: amphetamines, cannabis, amphetamines + cannabis, none. Participants were assessed at admission and then weekly until discharge (or for a maximum of eight weeks) with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (positive symptoms, negative symptoms, mania symptoms, depression-anxiety symptoms) and the Disturbed Behaviour Rating Scale. Multi-level modelling (MLM) was used to determine statistically significant differences between each of the substance-using groups and their respective non-using groups on the severity of their symptoms and behaviour at admission and over the course of their hospitalisation. Importantly, MLM also allowed for these groups to be compared on the rate of symptom and behaviour change during the first eight weeks of hospitalisation, providing evidence of any differences in clinical course.

 C o m m e n t s: The species was only recently described from the Greek island Lesbos (ASSING 2005g). A comparative study of the external and sexual characters of the above material and of the holotype male of O. lesbia revealed some differences between populations (microsculpture, puncturation, shape of median lobe of aedeagus and of spermatheca), but no convincing evidence that they should represent distinct species. The intraspecific variation of the aedeagus and of the – previously unknown – spermatheca are illustrated in Figs 72-74 and Figs 77-79. The species is closely related to O. brachyptera (STEPHENS), as can be inferred from the highly similar morphology of the aedeagus (shape and internal structures of median lobe, apically bifid ventral process of the median lobe, shape and chaetotaxy of the apical lobe of the paramere, shape of the spermatheca). For comparison, the median lobe of the aedeagus of O. brachyptera is illustrated in Fig. 71. All the specimens seen so far have hind wings of reduced length (approximately 1.5 times as long as elytra and distinctly projecting from under the posterior elytra margins when unfolded). However, the presence of a palisade fringe at the posterior margin of the abdominal tergite VII, as well as the wide distribution suggest that O. lesbia may be wing-dimorphic.

description: Therefore it is reasonable to suppose that sometime before 2,600 BCE some kṣatrīya moved into Kāṭhīyāvāḍ, specifically Kacch, and took control of the rich shell resources there. As they moved from Kachi-Bolan plain into the Ghaggar-Hakra basin, this was a nearer source of shell products; the Sindh and Makran coasts were too far. But, by their bad luck, their sojourn in Kacch could not last long, due to the onset of the aridity.
An Investigation of Cognitive Processes Associated with Notetaking and Notes-Review

Subjects: subject: Psychology

description: Notetaking is a cognitively complex academic task that requires the execution of multiple cognitive processes within a limited capacity working memory (Peverly et al., 2007; Peverly & Sumowski, 2012; Piolat, Olive, & Kellogg, 2005). Several studies have investigated cognitive processes related to notetaking, but only one has looked at variables related to notes-review (Hadwin, Kirby, & Woodhouse, 1999). Also, most studies have focused on handwritten notes, and the few studies that have evaluated the effect of writing medium (handwriting or typing) on notes have been limited and equivocal (Bui, Myerson & Hale, 2013; Mueller & Oppenheimer, 2014). This study examined cognitive differences related to lecture notetaking, notes-review, and performance on a multiple-choice test that included memory and inference items. In addition, this study explored differences between handwriting and typing on notes and notes-review. Eighty undergraduate students were randomly assigned to handwrite or type notes, review them, and complete a multiple-choice test based on the lecture. They also completed a measure of letter speed consistent with their experimental condition, along with measures of language comprehension, sustained attention, background knowledge, and metacognition. MANOVAs found significant differences in letter speed between handwriting and typing groups, but no significant differences in overall notetaking or notes-review. The handwriting condition showed evidence of more transformation and organization of lecture information between notetaking and notes-review than with typing. Regression analyses found that letter speed and language comprehension predicted notetaking. Notes-review was positively and significantly related to notetaking, language comprehension, and writing medium. Typed notes were more strongly related to notes-review than handwritten notes. A significant letter speed x metacognition interaction for notetaking and a significant letter speed x sustained attention interaction for notes-review suggest that basic cognitive processes (letter speed) need to be sufficiently automatized in order for higher cognitive processes to be applied effectively. Test performance overall and performance on inference items were predicted by notes-review and writing medium. The latter indicated that handwriting was more strongly related to test performance than typing. Findings suggest that handwriting may enable deeper processing of information compared to typing. Future studies should continue to include interactions between cognitive variables to support the theory of hierarchical processing within a limited capacity working memory. Further research on the effects of writing medium on notes and notes-review will improve understanding of the effects of handwriting and typing on these processes.

description: We study how the void environment affects the formation and evolution of galaxies in the universe by comparing the ratio of dark matter halo mass to stellar mass of galaxies in voids with galaxies in denser regions. Using spectroscopic observations from the SDSS MaNGA DR15, we estimate the dark matter halo mass of 642 void galaxies and 938 galaxies in denser regions. We use the relative velocities of the H-alpha emission line across the galaxy's surface to measure the rotation curve of each galaxy because the kinematics of the interstellar medium is smoother than the stellar kinematics. We find that neither the stellar-to-halo-mass relation nor the relationship between the gas-phase metallicity and the ratio of dark matter halo mass to stellar mass is affected by the void environment. We also observe no difference in the distribution of the ratio of dark matter halo mass to stellar mass between void galaxies and galaxies in denser regions, implying that the shape of the dark matter halo profile is independent of a galaxy's environment.

Year: 2015
Subjects: Theater

description: This paper will argue that using clearly articulated core values to underpin mission, vision, and all decision-making within a not-for-profit professional theatre will contribute to stability and unity of purpose within the organization. Attention to core values allows the theatre to nimbly react to the needs of the world around it without losing sight of its reason for being. This paper will present the characteristics of clear, compelling core values, discuss when and how values should be identified, and articulate how those values can be utilized in support of programming, funding, hiring, company culture, and marketing. Finally, it will consider how core values can be useful in evaluating success. In concert with a mission and vision, core values provide the organization a clear understanding of its own purpose, and keep the whole company moving in the same direction for the same reason.

description: A general scheme for the wedge construction of q-deformed Fock spaces using the theory of perfect crystals is presented. Let $U_q(\g)$ be a quantum affine algebra. Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional $U'_q(\g)$-module with a perfect crystal base of level~$l$. Let $V_\aff\simeq V\otimes\C[z,z^{-1}]$ be the affinization of $V$, with crystal base $(L_\aff,B_\aff)$. The wedge space $V_\aff\wedge V_\aff$ is defined as the quotient of $V_\aff\otimes V_\aff$ by the subspace generated by the action of $U_q(\g)[z^a\otimes z^b +z^b\otimes z^a]_{a,b\in\Z}$ on $v\otimes v$ ($v$ an extremal vector). The wedge space $\bigwedge^r V_\aff$ ($r\in\N$) is defined similarly. Normally ordered wedges are defined by using the energy function $H:B_\aff\otimes B_\aff\to\Z$. Under certain assumptions, it is proved that normally ordered wedges form a base of $\bigwedge^r V_\aff$. A q-deformed Fock space is defined as the inductive limit of $\bigwedge^r V_\aff$ as $r\to\infty$, taken along the semi-infinite wedge associated to a ground state sequence. It is proved that normally ordered wedges form a base of the Fock space and that the Fock space has the structure of an integrable $U_q(\g)$-module. An action of the bosons, which commute with the $U'_q(\g)$-action, is given on the Fock space. It induces the decomposition of the q-deformed Fock space into the tensor product of an irreducible $U_q(\g)$-module and a bosonic Fock space. As examples, Fock spaces for types $A^{(2)}_{2n}$, $B^{(1)}_n$, $A^{(2)}_{2n-1}$, $D^{(1)}_n$ and $D^{(2)}_{n+1}$ at level~1 and $A^{(1)}_1$ at level~$k$ are constructed. The commutation relations of the bosons in each of these cases are calculated, using two point functions of vertex operators.

description: This mixed methods study explored how elementary school teachers who use Twitter extensively use it to support their professional learning and development. Four research questions guided this study:
      1.	How are teachers using Twitter for their professional learning and development?
      2.	What do teachers report learning from their use of Twitter?
      3.	What do teachers say they do with the information they have learned from using Twitter?
      4.	What support do teachers have when they want to implement what they have learned from Twitter?
      An online survey was distributed via Twitter targeting teachers of elementary grades. A total of 107 participants were included in the final sample. Interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of 19 teachers. Document analysis of tweets from a subsample of interviewees and from a sample of tweets from the #2ndchat Twitter community served as triangulation.
      The key findings from this sample illustrated several ways teachers learn from Twitter. In response to the research questions, teachers reported using Twitter as a source of motivation and support, explaining that it provided them with feedback, encouragement and peer accountability. Second, teachers reported learning about many topics, especially technology integration techniques. Third, teachers described using the information they learned to alter some of their teaching practices and to pursue other educational opportunities. Lastly, more than half of teachers reported having administrators who supported their efforts to implement Twitter-based ideas. In addition, teachers appreciated certain affordances of Twitter including immediacy, choice, and access to other educators.
      These findings have several implications for teachers, school leaders, and policymakers. Teachers reported that they believed they were getting trustworthy information from highly reputable Twitter users. However, it would be important for them to critically review the information and ensure its alignment with evidence-based teaching practices for how students learn. Further, teachers’ responses seemed to indicate that they want input and control over their learning, which has important implications for traditional professional development offerings. As Twitter continues to expand and gain acceptance as a source of learning for teachers, considerations for its use as a 21st century tool must be taken into account.

description: In this paper, phase correction and amplitude compensation are introduced to a previously developed mixed domain method (MDM), which is only accurate for modeling wave propagation in weakly heterogeneous media. Multiple reflections are also incorporated with the one-way model to improve the accuracy. The resulting model is denoted as the modified mixed-domain method (MMDM) and is numerically evaluated for its accuracy and efficiency using two distinct cases: a layered medium and a human skull. It is found that the MMDM is significantly more accurate than the MDM for strongly heterogeneous media, especially when the phase aberrating layer is roughly perpendicular to the acoustic beam. Additionally, convergence study suggests that the second-order reflection is sufficient for wave modeling in lossy biological media. The method developed in this work could be used to facilitate therapeutic ultrasound for treating brain-related diseases and disorders.

An Investigation of Individual Differences in the Testing Effect
Creators: Kern, Michael B.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Educational psychology

description: Retrieving information from memory via a test has long been considered primarily a method of evaluating knowledge.  However, a growing body of experimental research has demonstrated that taking tests also helps to strengthen memory.  In both experimental and naturalistic settings, research has established that, compared to rereading or reviewing, practicing retrieval through test taking leads to poorer performance on immediate tests but superior and more durable long term memory on delayed tests.  The interaction between time of test and method of study is called the testing effect.  To date, very few attempts have been made to determine what cognitive variables might affect the existence or size of the testing effect, and none have done so using correlational research designs.  This dissertation examined the effects of language comprehension, background knowledge, and metacognition on individuals immediate and delayed recall when they studied by review and when they studied by taking a free recall test.
      	A sample of 90 undergraduate students read and studied two passages.  They studied one passage by repeated reading, and the other by repeated testing.  After studying, they took two short answer comprehension tests on each passage, the first immediately after reading the passage and the second after a week long delay.  The independent variables included time of test, method of study, type of question (factual recall or inference), language comprehension, background knowledge, and participants' metacognitive judgments about their learning and future performance.  The dependent variable was performance on the comprehension tests.
      	Results indicated that a testing effect was not clearly established.  Although there was less forgetting in the repeated test condition than in the repeated review condition, which is consistent with a testing effect, the review condition consistently outperformed the testing condition, which is not consistent with the testing effect.  Differences between the results of this study and those from other testing effect research are hypothesized to be due to the detailed nature of the test questions. Regarding the cognitive variables, metacognitive judgments of learning (JOLs) were not consistently predictive of test performance, background knowledge predicted performance on tests in the repeated review but not the repeated test conditions, and language comprehension, which was the best predictor overall, was a significant predictor of performance on the immediate test in the repeated test condition, and the delayed tests in both conditions.  Future research should focus on examining the effects of individual differences on the efficacy of studying via retrieval on immediate and delayed recall.

description: The asymmetric dark matter (ADM) scenario can solve the coincidence problem between the baryon and the dark matter (DM) abundance when the DM mass is of ${\cal O}(1)\,$GeV. In the ADM scenarios, composite dark matter is particularly motivated, as it can naturally provide the DM mass in the ${\cal O}(1)\,$GeV range and a large annihilation cross section simultaneously. In this paper, we discuss the indirect detection constraints on the composite ADM model. The portal operators connecting the $B-L$ asymmetries in the dark and the Standard Model(SM) sectors are assumed to be generated in association with the seesaw mechanism. In this model, composite dark matter inevitably obtains a tiny Majorana mass which induces a pair-annihilation of ADM at late times. We show that the model can be efficiently tested by the searches for the $γ$-ray from the dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the interstellar electron/positron flux.

description: The Andreev reflection amplitude at a clean interface between a half-metallic ferromagnet (H) and a superconductor (S) for which the half metal's magnetization has a gradient perpendicular to the interface is proportional to the excitation energy ɛ and vanishes at ɛ=0 [Béri et al., Phys. Rev. B 79, 024517 (2009)]. Here we show that the presence of impurities at or in the immediate vicinity of the HS interface leads to a finite Andreev reflection amplitude at ɛ=0. This impurity-assisted Andreev reflection dominates the low- bias conductance of an HS junction and the Josephson current of an SHS junction in the long-junction limit.

description: Clinical observations suggest abnormal gaze perception to be an important indicator of social anxiety disorder (SAD). Experimental research has yet paid relatively little attention to the study of gaze perception in SAD. In this article we first discuss gaze perception in healthy human beings before reviewing self-referential and threat-related biases of gaze perception in clinical and non-clinical socially anxious samples. Relative to controls, socially anxious individuals exhibit an enhanced self-directed perception of gaze directions and demonstrate a pronounced fear of direct eye contact, though findings are less consistent regarding the avoidance of mutual gaze in SAD. Prospects for future research and clinical implications are discussed.

description: Individuals with schizophrenia exhibit substantial deficits in their ability to perform working memory (WM) tasks, and these deficits have a critical impact on health and life outcomes for these patients, and may be fundamental to the neurophysiological basis of the disorder itself. However, neuroimaging investigations into the nature of these deficits in these patients over the last decade and a half have been stymied by inconsistent findings that leave no clear answer as to their cognitive or neural basis. One hypothesis that has been proposed to account for these inconsistent findings is that the response of some brain regions subserving WM task performance to parametrically increasing WM load, most critically dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, may in fact be non-monotonic in nature; that is, at sufficiently high loads activation in these regions may begin to decrease. If true, this could account for the inconsistent findings in comparisons of patients with schizophrenia and matched controls, as the two groups may be at different points along this putative activation-load 'inverted-U' curve, resulting in different findings depending on the degree of load utilized in any given study. To date, this hypothesis has not been directly tested; however, I report here the results of a series of studies using the self-ordered working memory task that clearly demonstrate such an 'inverted-U' in healthy participants that is absent in patients with schizophrenia. The pattern of findings in the studies reported here are consistent with healthy individuals switching from WM-mediated strategies to long-term memory-mediated strategies as WM load is increased, while patients with schizophrenia fail to make this switch, instead attempting to utilize WM to subserve task performance even when their WM capacity is exceeded.

description: Brazil has had a distinctive definition of national and racial identity, and it has changed considerably over time, and at each time held out different possibilities for social mobility and citizenship. This paper traces changing relationship between black identities and citizenship through four periods in Brazilian history: abolition, black protests in the 1930s, postwar re- democratization and the democratic movement against the military dictatorship in the 1970s. It emphasizes how the complex intersection of nation, social relations, class and race has had profound effects on not only the categories used to label people, but also on the nuanced definition of the goal of efforts to overcome inequality.
Should Citations be Counted Separately from Each Originating Section

description: Articles are cited for different purposes and differentiating between reasons when counting citations may therefore give finer-grained citation count information. Although identifying and aggregating the individual reasons for each citation may be impractical, recording the number of citations that originate from different article sections might illuminate the general reasons behind a citation count (e.g., 110 citations = 10 Introduction citations + 100 Methods citations). To help investigate whether this could be a practical and universal solution, this article compares 19 million citations with DOIs from six different standard sections in 799,055 PubMed Central open access articles across 21 out of 22 fields. There are apparently non-systematic differences between fields in the most citing sections and the extent to which citations from one section overlap with citations from another, with some degree of overlap in most cases. Thus, at a science-wide level, section headings are partly unreliable indicators of citation context, even if they are more standard within individual fields. They may still be used within fields to help identify individual highly cited articles that have had one type of impact, especially methodological (Methods) or context setting (Introduction), but expert judgement is needed to validate the results.

description: Multi-Mobile Network Operator (MNO) networking is a promising method to exploit the joint force of multiple available cellular data connections within vehicular networks. By applying anticipatory communication principles, data transmissions can dynamically utilize the mobile network with the highest estimated network performance in order to achieve improvements in data rate, resource efficiency, and reliability. In this paper, we present the results of a comprehensive real-world measurement campaign in public cellular networks in different scenarios and analyze the performance of online data rate prediction based on multiple machine learning models and data aggregation strategies. It is shown that multi-MNO approaches are able to achieve significant benefits for all considered network quality and end-to-end indicators even in the presence of a single dominant MNO. However, the analysis points out that anticipatory multi-MNO communication requires the consideration of MNO-specific machine learning models since the impact of the different features is highly depending on the configuration of the network infrastructure.

description: The probability distribution P from which the history of our universe is sampled represents a theory of everything or TOE. We assume P is formally describable. Since most (uncountably many) distributions are not, this imposes a strong inductive bias. We show that P(x) is small for any universe x lacking a short description, and study the spectrum of TOEs spanned by two Ps, one reflecting the most compact constructive descriptions, the other the fastest way of computing everything. The former derives from generalizations of traditional computability, Solomonoff's algorithmic probability, Kolmogorov complexity, and objects more random than Chaitin's Omega, the latter from Levin's universal search and a natural resource-oriented postulate: the cumulative prior probability of all x incomputable within time t by this optimal algorithm should be 1/t. Between both Ps we find a universal cumulatively enumerable measure that dominates traditional enumerable measures; any such CEM must assign low probability to any universe lacking a short enumerating program. We derive P-specific consequences for evolving observers, inductive reasoning, quantum physics, philosophy, and the expected duration of our universe.

description: In this paper we discuss and characterize several set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation obtained using skew lattices, an algebraic structure that has not yet been related to the Yang-Baxter equation. Such solutions are degenerate in general, and thus different from solutions obtained from braces and other algebraic structures. Our main result concerns a description of a set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation, obtained from an arbitrary skew lattice. We also provide a construction of a cancellative and distributive skew lattice on a given family of pairwise disjoint sets.
description: The definition of a simply cancellative skew lattice on page 25 should correctly be stated as: $x \lor z\lor x = y\lor z \lor y, x \land z \land x =y \land z \land y \Longrightarrow x = y.$ All results in the paper were obtained using the correct definition

An Investigation of the Note-taking Skills of Adolescents with and without Attention Deficit Hyperacivity Disorder (ADHD): An Extension of Previous Research

description: Note-taking is an effective and prevalent study strategy that has been widely examined in post-secondary settings. However, little is known about the underlying cognitive variables associated with note-taking. The current study set out to investigate the note-taking skills of high school students with and without Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), in order to extend previous studies on lecture note-taking (Peverly, Garner, & Vekaria, 2011; Peverly et al., 2007; Peverly et al, 2010) to this younger population and disability group. It additionally set out to investigate the utility of providing an outline as an intervention to improve the note-quality of these populations. Participants included 40 high school students with ADHD and 40 high school students without ADHD. Participants took notes on a videotaped lecture, and half were provided with an outline on which to take their notes. One week later, participants reviewed their notes and took a multiple choice test. The independent variables included ADHD status, outline status (yes/no), attention, transcription fluency, verbal working memory, and listening comprehension. The dependent variables were quality of notes and test performance. All measures were group administered. Results of this investigation indicated that ADHD status, attention, transcription speed, and listening comprehension all emerged as significant predictors of note-taking skill. Note-quality and listening comprehension were the only predictors of test performance. Students with ADHD produced lower quality notes when compared to non-ADHD peers. They additionally obtained lower scores on a multiple choice test as well a measure of listening comprehension, but did not significantly differ in terms of attention, verbal working memory, or transcription speed. The provision of an outline did not significantly impact the note quality of students with or without ADHD in the current study. Future research aimed at replicating these findings and expanding the results to include wider samples with more rigorously confirmed diagnoses is recommended.

description: We propose a density functional for anisotropic fluids of hard body particles. It interpolates between the well-established geometrically based Rosenfeld functional for hard spheres and the Onsager functional for elongated rods. We test the new approach by calculating the location of the the nematic-isotropic transition in systems of hard spherocylinders and hard ellipsoids. The results are compared with existing simulation data. Our functional predicts the location of the transition much more accurately than the Onsager functional, and almost as good as the theory by Parsons and Lee. We argue that it might be suited to study inhomogeneous systems.
