description: With the discovery of the Higgs boson the LHC experiments have closed the most important gap in our understanding of fundamental interactions. We now know that the interactions between elementary particles can be described by quantum field theory, more specifically by a renormalizable gauge theory. This theory is valid to arbitrarily high energy scales and do not require an ultraviolet completion. In these notes I cover three aspects to help understand LHC results in the Higgs sector and in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model: many facets of Higgs physics, QCD as it is relevant for LHC measurements, and standard phenomenological background knowledge. The lectures should put young graduate students into a position to really follow advanced writeups and first research papers. In that sense they can serve as a starting point for a research project in LHC physics. With this new, significantly expanded version I am confident that also some more senior colleagues will find them useful and interesting.

title: The Catholic Experience in Utah
Creators: name: Evans, Thomas G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2009

description: The Merrill-Cazier Library at Utah State University has in its collection an infamous book that is talked about by both Mormons and non-Mormons alike: the first edition of Bruce R. McCon.1de'sMormonDoctrine.l Shocking and controversial when it first appeared in print for its characterization of the Catholic Church, among other controversial assessments, I had heard about it myself growing up as a member of the L.D.S. Church in various tales of Mormon folklore. McConkie's penchant for brusque, un-apologetic apologetics and bold declarations of the truth of the Mormon faith was legendary.
One day, as I perused the book in the Library, I noticed several notes scribbled in pencil throughout the book. The first such scribbling reads "[Mormon Doctrine] IS F_KED Anti­ christian Bulls_t.,,2 He continues his assessment of McConkie's work by writing:
This book is total bulls_t made up by emotional fools! If you mormons had enough guts to examine your religion with facts and objectivity - not emotion, you would fmd that it was totally created bl men. It is a marriage of Christianity and freemasonry, wed by utter irrationality.
What follows on a dozen subsequent pages is a critical and hostile interpretation of Mormon theology and culture as the unknown Roman Catholic reacts to the content of Bruce McConkie's assessment of his faith.4 On the other hand, McConkie writes that Roman Catholic beliefs are "senseless, unintelligent, and incomprehensible." He states, with a thinly veiled attack on those who believe in such things, "Enlightened persons can judge for themselves...,,6 In response to this, our unknown writer scribbles, "The catholic church does not attack others ­ does not defend its validity through aggression, Mormonism does, so does the devil!"

description: We present a large-scale study of stellar rotation for T Tauri stars in the Orion Star-Forming Complex. We use the projected rotational velocity ($v\sin(i)$) estimations reported by the APOGEE-2 collaboration as well as individual masses and ages derived from the position of the stars in the HR diagram, considering Gaia-EDR3 parallaxes and photometry plus diverse evolutionary models. We find an empirical trend for $v\sin(i)$ decreasing with age for low-mass stars ($0.4 M_{\odot} < M_{\ast} < 1.2 M_{\odot}$). Our results support the existence of a mechanism linking $v\sin(i)$ to the presence of accreting protoplanetary disks, responsible for regulating stellar rotation in timescales of about 6 Myr, which is the timescale in which most of the T Tauri stars lose their inner disk. Our results provide important constraints to models of rotation in the early phases of evolution of young stars and their disks.

Histone H3 thiol reactivity as a probe of nucleosome structure
Creators: name: Wong, Norman Tse Ngon,
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Nucleosomes were prepared from trout testis nuclei by micrococcal nuclease digestion. The reactivity toward N- [ethyl- ³Hlmaleimide (NEM) of the single sulfhydryl group of histone H3 in the nucleosomes was studied under a variety of conditions. Under conditions of low ionic strength, there is negligible reaction of nucleosomes with NEM, suggesting that the cysteinyl residue of H3 is buried. Complete denaturation of nucleosomes in 6 M guanidinium chloride leads to reaction of 2 moles of NEM per mole of nucleosomes, in agreement with the expected presence of 2 moles of H3 per particle. Exposure of nucleosomes to 2 M NaCI or 1 M MgCl₂ leads to exposure of the thiol group. At higher Mg⁺⁺ concentrations, the thiol group remains exposed, but in NaCI solutions, as the salt concentration is increased beyond 2 M, the thiol group returns to an inaccessible state. The reactivity of nucleosome thiol groups is relatively unaffected by urea to approximately 5 M. Between 5 and 8 M urea, a rapid increase in thiol reactivity indicates a cooperative unfolding of the nucleosome core. When added together, urea and salt act in a cooperative manner to expose the H3 sulfhydryl group. Mixtures of oligonucleosomes have also been studied under different conditions. They were found to behave in a similar fashion to monomers in 6 M guanidine, but their thiols react more slowly than those of monomers in high salt. Removal of the amino-terminal regions of the core histones by tryptic digestion has no noticeable effect on the accessibility of nucleosome thiol groups. It is concluded that the carboxy-terminal region of H3 containing Cys 110 is masked mainly by histone-histone interactions in the octameric core complex, and is located in a region which is relatively insensitive to the perturbations induced by trypsin or low concentrations of urea. Nucleosomes reconstituted in the presence of a sulfhydryl reducing agent were indistinguishable from native particles in their reactivity to NEM in low salt buffers, in 2 M NaCl and in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride. These studies indicate that the degree of exposure of H3 sulfhydryl groups in nucleosomes can be effectively monitored using NEM. The carboxy-terminal region of H3 containing Cys 110 seems to be located in a relatively stable region of the nucleosome core, perhaps at the interface between heterotypic tetramers.

description: NGC604 is the largest HII-region in M33, second only within the Local Group to 30 Dor, and is important as a laboratory for understanding how massive young stellar clusters interact with the surrounding interstellar medium. Here, we present deep (300ks) X-ray imagery of NGC604 obtained as part of the Chandra ACIS Survey of M33 (ChASeM33), which show highly structured X-ray emission covering ~70% of the full Halpha extent of NGC604. The main bubbles and cavities in NGC604 are filled with hot (kT=0.5keV) X-ray emitting gas and X-ray spectra extracted from these regions indicate that the gas is thermal. For the western part of NGC604 we derive an X-ray gas mass of ~4300M_sol and an unabsorbed (0.35-2.5keV) X-ray luminosity of L_X = 9.3E35 erg/s. These values are onsistent with a stellar mass loss bubble entirely powered by about 200 OB-stars. This result is remarkable because the standard bubble model tends to underpredict the luminosity of X-ray bright bubbles and usually requires additional heating from SNRs. Given a cluster age of ~3Myr it is likely that the massive stars have not yet evolved into SNe. We detect two discrete spots of enhanced and harder X-ray emission, which we consider to be fingerprints from a reverse shock produced by a supersonic wind after it collided with the shell wall. In the eastern part of NGC604 the X-ray gas mass amounts to ~1750M_sol. However, mass loss from young stars cannot account for the unabsorbed X-ray luminosity of L_X = 4.8E35 erg/s. Off-center SNRs could produce the additional luminosity. The bubbles in the east seem to be much older and were most likely formed and powered by stars and SNe in the past.

title: The Effects of Enhanced Flows on Community Structure and Ecosystem Functioning in a Montane Utah River System
Creators: name: Epperly, Joshua A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Due to growing human demands for freshwater within the last century, manmade flow alterations are now a common characteristic of rivers worldwide. Alterations to the volume and timing of flows in rivers are known to negatively impact aquatic biodiversity, biological productivity and ecosystem functions such as nutrient cycling. While previous research has focused on the effects of flow reductions and spates, there is a lack of knowledge on how high flows across longer timespans (i.e. ‘enhanced flows’) impact the structure of river communities and the integrity of ecosystem functions.
The Utah Reclamation, Mitigation and Conservation Commission has expressed interest in reducing enhanced flows in a central Utah river so as to benefit aquatic habitat and native game fish. With their funding support, I collected aquatic invertebrate and ecosystem function data under natural and enhanced flow conditions throughout Sixth Water Creek and Diamond Fork River. These data were supplemented with historical invertebrate data collected by BIO-West, Incorporated. For each river segment, I tested whether flow volume and variation had relationships with the density and health of streambed invertebrate communities. I also sought to determine how these flow metrics affected leaf litter breakdown, primary production and stream metabolism (i.e. the production and respiration of organic matter).
Here, I demonstrate that enhanced flows impact streambed invertebrate communities differently in each river segment, in addition to suppressing stream metabolism system-wide. While streambed communities were mostly unaffected by enhanced flows in Sixth Water Creek, density and community health exhibited negative relationships with flow metrics in Diamond Fork River. In the Lower Diamond Fork mainstem, proportions of pollution-tolerant taxa increased as peak flows increased, while streambed invertebrate density decreased as mean monthly flows increased. Moreover, enhanced flows appeared to severely impact the production of organic matter in Sixth Water Creek and Lower Diamond Fork River. This disproportionate suppression of production over respiration shifted the river towards greater reliance on out-of-stream energy sources. These results demonstrate the importance of considering spatial gradients when investigating community responses to flow alterations, and also reveal how river ecosystems are threatened with losses of in-stream energy supplies under enhanced flows.

description: Shared e-scooters are introduced as a new form of mobility around the world. Alongside this rise in micromobility, e-scooter crashes are reported, and e-scooter riders are injured and killed in traffic. Little research has been conducted on the relation between ergonomics and the safe use of e-scooters, and it is unclear whether e-scooter riders know about prevailing e-scooter related regulation and if they adhere to existing regulation in traffic. We conducted a field observation (n = 2972) in combination with a questionnaire survey (n = 156), to investigate the influence of ergonomics on the safe use of shared e-scooters, and to explore riders’ knowledge and self-reported behavior. Riders’ brake readiness, dual use (two riders per vehicle), and helmet use was registered, and specific knowledge about the braking system of e-scooters was assessed, alongside knowledge about road rules and reported past safety related behavior. Results reveal a clear effect of braking system design, with significantly more riders readying the left hand brake, in comparison with the right hand or foot brake (depending on the e-scooter model). This was found regardless of the brake-lever-to-wheel coupling, indicating that the preference for the left hand brake can be detrimental to targeted braking of the front or rear wheel. Only one third of respondents could correctly identify the basic braking system of the shared e-scooter they had last used. In addition, high shares of illegal behavior were reported by riders. Implications of these findings for the safe operation of e-scooters, their ergonomic design, and road safety regulation are discussed.
A bosonic perspective on the classical mapping of fermionic quantum dynamics

description: We consider the application of the original Meyer-Miller (MM) Hamiltonian to mapping fermionic quantum dynamics to classical equations of motion. Non-interacting fermionic and bosonic systems share the same one-body density dynamics when evolving from the same initial many-body state. The MM classical mapping is exact for non-interacting bosons, and therefore it yields the exact time-dependent one-body density for non-interacting fermions as well. Starting from this observation, the MM mapping is compared to different mappings specific for fermionic systems, namely the spin mapping (SM) with and without including a Jordan-Wigner transformation, and the Li-Miller mapping (LMM). For non-interacting systems, the inclusion of fermionic anti-symmetry through the Jordan-Wigner transform does not lead to any improvement in the performance of the mappings and instead it worsens the classical description. For an interacting impurity model and for models of excitonic energy transfer, the MM and LMM mappings perform similarly, and in some cases the former outperforms the latter when compared to a full quantum description. The classical mappings are able to capture interference effects, both constructive and destructive, that originate from equivalent energy transfer pathways in the models.

description: Like many low- and middle-income countries, Nepal is experiencing a massive motorization, predominantly from increased use of motorcycles which is driving a surge in road-related injuries and fatalities. Motorcycles and their riders have been identified as a focal point for road traffic injury prevention measures. While helmet use is mandatory for both motorcycle drivers and passengers, fines for helmet non-use are only levied on drivers, not on passengers, and it is unclear how this unequal enforcement translates to helmet use rates in Nepal. Hence, a video-based observation on motorcyclists’ helmet use was conducted alongside a questionnaire survey on fatalism, perceived police enforcement, risk-taking personality, and perceived usefulness of helmets. For the observation and questionnaire survey, seven rural and urban sites were selected from all seven provinces of Nepal, representing varied populations, road environments, and elevations. The observation of the helmet use behavior of 2548 motorcycle riders revealed an alarming picture of helmet use in Nepal. While more than 98% of observed motorcycle drivers in Nepal used a motorcycle helmet, less than 1% of observed passengers did so. Interviews of 220 riders show that the absence of a fine for helmet non-use by passengers is accompanied by an unawareness of the traffic law, where only 11.8% of respondents knew about the mandatory helmet use law for passengers. Unhelmeted riders had a significantly higher attribution of road related crashes to fate, compared with riders that used a helmet. Results of this study can serve as an evidence base for revisions of Nepal’s Vehicle and Transportation Management Act in regard to traffic rule enforcement and fines. They further show the global importance of comprehensive regulation on safety related behaviors of road users. The feasibility of more comprehensive enforcement is discussed against the background of helmet availability for passengers.

description: We show that C$_{60}$ fullerene molecules can serve as promising building blocks in the construction of versatile crystal structures with unique symmetries using first-principles calculations. These phases include quasi-2D layered structures and 3D van der Waals crystals where the molecules adopt varied orientations. The interplay of molecular arrangement and lattice symmetry results in a variety of tuneable crystal structures with distinct properties. Specifically, the electronic structures of these phases vary significantly, offering potential for fine-tuning the band gap for electronics and optoelectronics. Additionally, the optical properties of these materials are strongly influenced by their crystalline symmetry and molecular alignment, providing avenues for tailoring optical responses for photonics. Our findings highlight the potential of fullerene-based building blocks in the rational design of functional materials.

description: We investigate the electrical transport properties of a magnetic kagome metal EuTi$_3$Bi$_4$, which undergoes magnetic ordering below $T_\mathrm{c}=10.5$ K. Unlike typical magnets showing anomalous magnetotransport in their ordered states, EuTi$_3$Bi$_4$ exhibits unusual magnetotransport behaviors in its paramagnetic phase. Specifically, the magnetoconductivity shows a linear dependence on magnetic field at low fields below $\sim 1$ T, and the Hall conductivity undergoes a sign change below about 2 T. These behaviors resemble those observed in the charge density wave (CDW) phase of kagome metals $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$ = K, Rb, Cs). The anomalous magnetotransport in $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ has commonly been attributed to the possible emergence of a time-reversal symmetry breaking chiral CDW order. However, given the absence of CDW in EuTi$_3$Bi$_4$ and its manifestation exclusively in the paramagnetic state, the anomalous magnetotransport observed in EuTi$_3$Bi$_4$ is likely associated with multiband transport and/or the van Hove singularities near the Fermi level.

description: The rigidity of a matrix A for target rank r is the minimum number of entries of A that must be changed to ensure that the rank of the altered matrix is at most r. Since its introduction by Valiant (1977), rigidity and similar rank-robustness functions of matrices have found numerous applications in circuit complexity, communication complexity, and learning complexity. Almost all nxn matrices over an infinite field have a rigidity of (n-r)^2. It is a long-standing open question to construct infinite families of explicit matrices even with superlinear rigidity when r = Omega(n). In this paper, we construct an infinite family of complex matrices with the largest possible, i.e., (n-r)^2, rigidity. The entries of an n x n matrix in this family are distinct primitive roots of unity of orders roughly exp(n^2 log n). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first family of concrete (but not entirely explicit) matrices having maximal rigidity and a succinct algebraic description. Our construction is based on elimination theory of polynomial ideals. In particular, we use results on the existence of polynomials in elimination ideals with effective degree upper bounds (effective Nullstellensatz). Using elementary algebraic geometry, we prove that the dimension of the affine variety of matrices of rigidity at most k is exactly n^2-(n-r)^2+k. Finally, we use elimination theory to examine whether the rigidity function is semi-continuous.

description: We present 1420 MHz polarization images of a 2.5 X 2.5 degree region around the planetary nebula (PN) Sh 2-216. The images are taken from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). An arc of low polarized intensity appears prominently in the north-east portion of the visible disk of Sh 2-216, coincident with the optically identified interaction region between the PN and the interstellar medium (ISM). The arc contains structural variations down to the ~1 arcminute resolution limit in both polarized intensity and polarization angle. Several polarization-angle "knots" appear along the arc. By comparison of the polarization angles at the centers of the knots and the mean polarization angle outside Sh 2-216, we estimate the rotation measure (RM) through the knots to be -43 +/- 10 rad/m^2. Using this estimate for the RM and an estimate of the electron density in the shell of Sh 2-216, we derive a line-of-sight magnetic field in the interaction region of 5.0 +/- 2.0 microG. We believe it more likely the observed magnetic field is interstellar than stellar, though we cannot completely dismiss the latter possibility. We interpret our observations via a simple model which describes the ISM magnetic field around Sh 2-216, and comment on the potential use of old PNe as probes of the magnetized ISM.

Modons on Tidally Synchronised Extrasolar Planets

description: We investigate modons on tidally synchronised extrasolar planets. Modons are highly dynamic, coherent flow structures composed of a pair of storms with opposite signs of vorticity. They are important because they divert flows on the large-scale; and, powered by the intense irradiation from the host star, they are planetary-scale sized and exhibit quasi-periodic life-cycles -- chaotically moving around the planet, breaking and reforming many times over long durations (e.g. thousands of planet days). Additionally, modons transport and mix planetary-scale patches of hot and cold air around the planet, leading to high-amplitude and quasi-periodic signatures in the disc-averaged temperature flux. Hence, they induce variations of the "hot spot" longitude to either side of the planet's sub-stellar point -- consistent with observations at different epoch. The variability behaviour in our simulations broadly underscores the importance of accurately capturing vortex dynamics in extrasolar planet atmosphere modelling, particularly in understanding current observations.

Subjects: subject: Audiology.

description: Chapter 1 The aim of this thesis was to examine clinical aspects of hearing aid provision and to consider how these might affect hearing aid services now and in the future. The work is presented in four parts. Chapter 2: The aim of this part of the study was to compare individuals referred to an audiology clinic (complainers) with hearing-impaired individuals in the population who had never sought advice (non-complainers). Chapter 3: The aim was to assess the accuracy of clinical voice tests and to review their role in present day audiology. The efficacy of masking of tragal rubbing and the Barany noise box was assessed. Chapter 4: The aim of this study was to identify factors of importance in predicting patients' preference for side of hearing aid use. Chapter 5: The aim of this study was to investigate difference in An audiovisual test, FADAST, was done initially unaided and subsequently with their hearing aid at the end of each 10 week period. A hearing questionnaire was also completed on each occasion. Both FADAST and the questionnaire showed significant differences between aided and unaided conditions. Neither was a good predictor of patients' preference for side of use. FADAST results suggested that subjects got more benefit when their better ear was aided. This conflict between patient preference and measured benefit suggested the hypothesis that preference was based on a desire to minimize disability in the most disadvantageous listening conditions - when sounds come from the side of the poorer hearing ear. In a pilot study, 7 subjects with asymmetric hearing did FAAF word lists with the signal from different locations, unaided and with a hearing aid in either ear. The results supported this hypothesis, showing that the greatest disability occurred with the better ear aided and the signal presented towards the worse ear. These results show that hearing is multi-dimensional. The results of tests of benefit should be regarded with caution. Unaided FADAST results were closely related to pure-tone thresholds in the better hearing ear. This relationship was used to convert FADAST benefit scores to the equivalent aided pure-tone speech frequency average, thus presenting benefit in terms familiar to all clinicians. This method demonstrated that there is a large residual hearing deficit when using a hearing aid, and suggested that individuals with mild hearing loss get relatively little quantitative benefit from current NHS hearing aids.

description: Red quasars are a population, characterized by significant extinction in UV, which could be explained by absorption of dusty gas on a scale of a few kpc. We show that the enhanced radiation-pressure drives the dusty gas to supersonically expand and produces shocks. The shocks energize electrons to be relativistic via the first Fermi acceleration. As a balance of shock acceleration and synchrotron emission and inverse Compton scattering, the maximum Lorentz factor of the electrons reaches as $\sim 10^6$. The shocked interstellar medium appears as extended multiwavelength fuzz, in which synchrotron emission from the electrons peaks at near infrared or UV bands and inverse Compton scattering around 1.0GeV$-$0.1TeV. Future multiwavelength images of the fuzz would provide new clues to study the details of radiative feedback if red quasars could be a certain phase in evolutionary chains of galaxies.

description: Previous experimental observations for H intercalation under graphene on SiC surfaces motivate clarification of configuration stabilities and kinetic processes related to intercalation. From first-principles density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations, we analyze H adsorption and intercalation for graphene on a 6H-SiC(0001) surface, where the system includes two single-atom-thick graphene layers: the top-layer graphene (TLG) and the underling buffer-layer graphene (BLG) above the terminal Si layer. Our chemical potential analysis shows that, in the low-H coverage regime (described by a single H atom within a sufficiently large supercell), intercalation into the gallery between TLG and BLG, or into the gallery underneath BLG, is more favorable thermodynamically than adsorption on top of TLG. However, intercalation into the gallery between TLG and BLG is most favorable. We obtain energy barriers of about 1.3 eV and 2.3 eV for a H atom diffusing on and under TLG, respectively. From an additional analysis of the energy landscape in the vicinity of a step on the TLG, we assess how readily one guest H atom on the TLG terrace can directly penetrate the TLG into the gallery between TLG and BLG versus crossing a TLG step to access the gallery. We also perform DFT calculations for higher H coverages revealing a shift in favorability to intercalation of H underneath BLG, as well as characterizing the variation with H coverage in interlayer spacings.

description: The spin-orbit correlation in spin-0 hadrons can be investigated through the kinetic energy-momentum tensor form factor $\tilde F^q(t)$. We observe that the latter is also related to a torque about the radial direction, which we interpret as a chiral stress. If we neglect the quark mass contribution, then $\tilde F^q(t)$ is simply proportional to the electromagnetic form factor for spin-0 hadrons, and the spin-orbit correlation is equal to minus half of the valence quark number. Given the extensive studies on the electromagnetic form factor for spin-0 hadrons such as pions, kaons, and the $α$ particle, we present the spatial distributions of chiral stress and kinetic spin-orbit correlation based on current parametrizations of the pion electromagnetic form factor.

description: Neutron stars and black holes are the astrophysical systems with the strongest gravitational fields in the universe. In this article, I review the prospect of probing with observations of such compact objects some of the most intriguing General Relativistic predictions in the strong-field regime: the absence of stable circular orbits near a compact object and the presence of event horizons around black-hole singularities. I discuss the need for a theoretical framework within which future experiments will provide detailed, quantitative tests of gravity theories. Finally, I summarize the constraints imposed by current observations of neutron stars on potential deviations from General Relativity.

description: We consider the {\em vector partition problem}, where $n$ agents, each with a $d$-dimensional attribute vector, are to be partitioned into $p$ parts so as to minimize cost which is a given function on the sums of attribute vectors in each part. The problem has applications in a variety of areas including clustering, logistics and health care. We consider the complexity and parameterized complexity of the problem under various assumptions on the natural parameters $p,d,a,t$ of the problem where $a$ is the maximum absolute value of any attribute and $t$ is the number of agent types, and raise some of the many remaining open problems.
title: The Temporal Distribution of Short-Duration Keypecks in Variable-Interval Schedules of Reinforcement
Creators: name: Williams, Joseph G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: An experiment was conducted in order to determine the duration of pigeons' keypecks during three separate variable-interval schedules of reinforcement. Pigeons were exposed to variable interval (VI) 30 sec, VI 60 sec and VI 120 sec schedules of reinforcement for twenty sessions each. Response durations were analyzed in terms of VI schedule , location in time during the inter-reinforcement interval and any pattern of short and long duration pecks. Mean duration of response was reliably different for three out of four birds for VI 30 sec and VI 120 sec schedules of reinforcement. The VI 30 sec schedules produced longer durations. Results for the VI 60 sec condition were equivocal. Mean duration of response was constant throughout the VI interval showing no change in response duration over time. No pattern of long and short pecks was detected. Results were interpreted as confirming the existence of a range of response durations during VI schedules of reinforcement and suggesting that duration of response varies with VI schedule changes.
On the Decay of Unparticles

description: We show that when the unparticle sector is coupled to the Standard Model, unparticle excitations can decay to Standard Model particles. This radically modifies the signals of unparticle production. We present a method for the calculation of the decay lifetimes of unparticles. In a particular model, we show that depending on their lifetime, unparticles can manifest themselves through monojets, delayed events or prompt decays.

title: Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa: The Patients' Perspective

description: Eating-disorder clients show low motivation, poor follow-through, and inordinate premature dropout rates in treatment. To date, little research has been conducted that might provide clinicians with an understanding of the critical factors that may aid clients' recovery. Such factors may be used by clinicians to better motivate clients to collaborate in treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify some of the critical factors that women with eating disorders believed were crucial in prompting or facilitating their recovery. Identification of these factors was accomplished through a systematic content analysis of semistructured interviews with recovered or recovering bulimics and anorexics. This study may contribute significantly to future research into the development of motivational supplements to eating disorder therapy (e.g., psychoeducational materials or therapy orientation programs). Of interest were what personal, interpersonal, or environmental factors anorexic and bulimic clients reported increased their motivation to recover, and prompted them to begin the recovery process, maintain recovery, and cope with the threat ofrelapse. Also, factors that subjects reported hindered their progress in recovery were examined.
The anorexic and bulimic subjects reported social support as a critical factor across three stages of recovery, including beginning recovery, maintaining recovery, and coping with relapse. Being "tired" of the disorder and therapy were indicated to be relevant to beginning recovery. Improved self-esteem was deemed significant in helping subjects both maintain recovery and cope with the threat of relapse. Establishing healthy eating habits and attitudes was a necessary factor required to maintain recovery. Subjects shared that developing healthy ways to deal with emotions enabled them to deal successfully with the threat of relapse.
Anorexic subjects reported that people and societal expectations, fear of becoming fat, incentive to numb emotions, and poor eating habits and attitudes impeded their recovery. Bulimic subjects indicated that people and societal expectations, incentive to numb emotions, lack of understanding, and poor eating habits and attitudes hindered their recovery.
The targum (1973:May 1 - 1973:May 16)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1973

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Facial expression recognition (FER) has emerged as an important component of human-computer interaction systems. Despite recent advancements in FER, performance often drops significantly for non-frontal facial images. We propose Contrastive Learning of Multi-view facial Expressions (CL-MEx) to exploit facial images captured simultaneously from different angles towards FER. CL-MEx is a two-step training framework. In the first step, an encoder network is pre-trained with the proposed self-supervised contrastive loss, where it learns to generate view-invariant embeddings for different views of a subject. The model is then fine-tuned with labeled data in a supervised setting. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed method on two multi-view FER datasets, KDEF and DDCF, where state-of-the-art performances are achieved. Further experiments show the robustness of our method in dealing with challenging angles and reduced amounts of labeled data.
