Search for supersymmetry in events with one lepton and multiple jets exploiting the angular correlation between the lepton and the missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Results are presented from a search for supersymmetry in events with a single electron or muon and hadronic jets. The data correspond to a sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$, recorded in 2016 by the CMS experiment. A number of exclusive search regions are defined according to the number of jets, the number of b-tagged jets, the scalar sum of the transverse momenta of the jets, and the scalar sum of the missing transverse momentum and the transverse momentum of the lepton. Standard model background events are reduced significantly by requiring a large azimuthal angle between the direction of the lepton and of the reconstructed W boson, computed under the hypothesis that all of the missing transverse momentum in the event arises from a neutrino produced in the leptonic decay of the W boson. The numbers of observed events are consistent with the expectations from standard model processes, and the results are used to set lower limits on supersymmetric particle masses in the context of two simplified models of gluino pair production. In the first model, where each gluino decays to a top quark-antiquark pair and a neutralino, gluino masses up to 1.8 TeV are excluded at the 95% CL. The second model considers a three-body decay to a light quark-antiquark pair and a chargino, which subsequently decays to a W boson and a neutralino. In this model, gluinos are excluded up to 1.9 TeV.

Toward measurement of self-efficacy for cross-cultural research
Creators: name: Nowak, Sarah Katherine
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Self-efficacy -- Evaluation

description: Current movements toward standards of multicultural competence in psychology focus on the "practitioner" end of the "scientist-practitioner" training model. This study was designed to meet a need for definition and assessment of multicultural competence among "scientists." The purpose of the study was to develop and validate a self-report measure of Self-Efficacy in Cross-Cultural Research (SECCR). Previous self-report measures of multicultural counseling competence have been criticized for measuring participants perceived ability (i.e., self-efficacy) as opposed to actual multicultural counseling competence (Constantine, 2001a; Constantine & Ladany, 2000; Ladany et al., 1997). In light of these critiques, the instrument developed in this study draws its conceptual base from self-efficacy theory, along with standards of multicultural counseling competence and guidelines for cross-cultural research. In this study, 374 graduate students in counseling and clinical psychology completed the Research Self-Efficacy Scale (RSES; Bieschke, et al., 1996), the Multicultural Counseling Inventory (MCI; Sodowsky, et al., 1994), the Multicultural Social Desirability Index (MCSD; Sodowsky, 1996), a demographic questionnaire and the author-developed Research Involvement Questionnaire (RIQ) and Self-Efficacy for Cross-Cultural Research (SECCR) measure. Hypotheses were: 1) Self-efficacy for cross-cultural research is a multidimensional construct comprised of five domains, 2) SECCR full scale scores will be moderately predicted by general research self efficacy and multicultural counseling competence, beyond the prediction provided by multicultural social desirability, and 3) SECCR full scale scores will be predicted by previous cross-cultural/multicultural training and research involvement. All three hypotheses were at least partially supported. Results for Hypothesis 1 suggest that self-efficacy for cross-cultural research is a construct that can be reliably measured, and that it includes the following dimensions: Cultural Awareness and Conceptualization; Data Collection, Analysis, and Reporting; and Relationships with Community and Collaborators. As predicted in Hypothesis 2, general research self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competence both predicted SECCR scores beyond the prediction provided by other demographic variables and multicultural social desirability. In the test of Hypothesis 3, SECCR subscales showed discriminant validity in that cross-cultural/multicultural training predicted all three SECCR subscales, while research experience only predicted the Data Collection, Analysis, and Reporting subscale. Strengths, limitations, future directions, and applications of the SECCR are discussed.

Testosterone regulation of the spermatogonial stem cell niche in mice
Creators: name: Chen, Liang-Yu
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Mice -- Reproduction

description: Testosterone, a steroid hormone, is not only important for testes development but also regulates sperm production. Sperm differentiate from spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) a cell population that continually differentiates into sperm and must proliferate to replenish the germ cells in the testes. The regulation of spermatogonial stem cell proliferation or differentiation is an important aspect of male fertility. This purpose of this project was to determine how testosterone regulates SSCs homeostasis. To determine how testosterone regulates SSC, a protocol to immunize mice against GnRH was used to stop pituitary gland secretion of LH and FSH to establish a depleted hormone environment in mice. Subsequent experiments determined the testosterone regulated cell mechanisms regulating SSC homeostasis. We established that immunization of mice against GnRH suppressed SSC activity such that these cells did not have stem cell activity. However, treating immunized mice with testosterone propionate (TP) stimulated progressive SSC activity over 48 hr. The data show that testosterone functionally enhances SSC proliferation in immunized mice. Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is critical for the establishment and maintenance of SSCs. Therefore, it was hypothesized that testosterone regulates GDNF. Real-time RT-PCR showed that gdnf expression was induced in GnRH immunized mice testis after TP injection. In addition, the expression of gdnf and leukemia inhibitory factor (lif), another factor that regulates SSC activity, increased in the testes of flutamide-treated mice when the flutamide block of androgen receptor was lost. To determine the specific testicular cell responding to testosterone to support SSCs, Sertoli and peritubular myoid cells were treated with testosterone. Testosterone inhibited gdnf expression in the Sertoli cells but significantly increased gdnf mRNA and protein expression in peritubular myoid cells. In contrast, pregnenolone, which is produced by Sertoli cells, suppresses gdnf expression in the PM cells. Based on these data, the SSC niche includes FSH regulation of GDNF expression by Sertoli cells while pregnenolone and testosterone regulate peritubular myoid cell expression of GDNF. Together, these factors regulate SSC proliferation and self-renewal in the testis. This regulatory loop provides a physiological and cellular model of SSC homeostasis in mammals.
Confocal microscopy of fluid argon under pressure
Creators: name: Hanna, Gabriel Joseph
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Confocal Microscopy

description: Confocal microscopy is a technique used in mainly in the life sciences for producing three-dimensional images of cellular structures. We have adapted the technique to measure volumes and refractive indices of fluids in a diamond anvil cell. While high-precision techniques, such as X-ray diffraction and neutron scattering, exist for measuring lattice volumes of solids, the measurement of fluid volumes is much more difficult. This new technique will allow for quick, inexpensive, and non-destructive measurements of the equation of state of fluids at high pressure. In addition, we have explored the use of carbon dioxide as a probe of the structure of fluid argon and nitrogen, using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. New experimental results presented here include: procedures for measuring volume and refractive index with the confocal microscope; the equation of state and refractive index of argon and water along the 300 K isotherm up to about 5 GPa; the dependence on density and pressure of the asymmetric stretching mode of carbon dioxide dissolved in argon and nitrogen at 300 K; and the IR absorption frequency of Ge:O as a function of pressure at 10 K.
Talk opportunities around text and the responses they elicit from middle level English language learners

Subjects: Discourse analysis -- Study and teaching

description: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the role that talk about text assumes for English language learners in their middle level reading classrooms. In particular, this study looked at the opportunities that English language learners have to talk about text in middle level reading classrooms and their responses to these opportunities. In addition, it looked at how English language learners explain and regard the talk opportunities they receive and their participation in them. Scholars propose that talk in general, and talk about text specifically, fosters comprehension, higher level thinking, and academic language proficiency. A relatively large body of scholarship has examined the role that talk about text assumes for English language learners at the elementary level. However, very few studies have done this at the middle level. This study seeks to augment that sparse body of research. It contributes to middle level research, research around English language learners, and research regarding the role of talk in reading classrooms.

description: We find vacuum solutions such that massive gravitons are confined in a local spacetime region by their gravitational energy in asymptotically flat spacetimes in the context of the bigravity theory. We call such self-gravitating objects massive graviton geons. The basic equations can be reduced to the Schrödinger-Poisson equations with the tensor "wavefunction" in the Newtonian limit. We obtain a non-spherically symmetric solution with $j=2,\ell=0$ as well as a spherically symmetric solution with $j=0,\ell=2$ in this system where $j$ is the total angular momentum quantum number and $\ell$ is the orbital angular momentum quantum number, respectively. The energy eigenvalue of the Schrödinger equation in the non-spherical solution is smaller than that in the spherical solution. We then study the perturbative stability of the spherical solution and find that there is an unstable mode in the quadrupole mode perturbations which may be interpreted as the transition mode to the non-spherical solution. The results suggest that the non-spherically symmetric solution is the ground state of the massive graviton geon. The massive graviton geons may decay in time due to emissions of gravitational waves but this timescale can be quite long when the massive gravitons are non-relativistic and then the geons can be long-lived. We also argue possible prospects of the massive graviton geons: applications to the ultralight dark matter scenario, nonlinear (in)stability of the Minkowski spacetime, and a quantum transition of the spacetime.

The economics and measurement of racial bias in law enforcement
Creators: name: Horn, Brady Patrick
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Discrimination in law enforcement -- Washington (State)

description: This dissertation consists of three independent but related papers. The first paper develops a new empirical approach to measure racial bias which features fixed effects generated at an agency level to account for differences in the regional cost of assessments, as well as mitigate omitted variable bias. This empirical approach is applied to a unique dataset, which contains the results of all breathalyzer tests administered in Washington State from 2003 through 2006. Applying both the fixed effect test and conventional tests for racial bias to the Washington State Patrol dataset, I find evidence of racial inequality exhibited in assessments of both black and Asian motorists. However, the traditional test for racial bias suggests that police officers are racially biased in favor of Hispanic motorists. In contrast, using the fixed effects model, this outcome is no longer significant. This finding provides evidence that it is important to incorporate heterogeneous regional costs of assessment into models of racial bias. The second paper explores a significant problem of studying racial bias in law enforcement called the infra-marginality problem. That is, if the underlying distributions of the probabilities of guilt differ by race, the link between assessment outcomes and racial bias will be imperfect. In this paper I model the potential for the distribution of characteristics to differ by race, and then use simulations to compare how these differences in characteristics impact existing tests for racial bias. I find that individually the two most common tests for racial bias will be unreliable tests for racial bias; however, a test can be constructed which combines the two, and that test will be robust to the criticism of infra-marginality. The third paper of my dissertation employs a representative voter model to study the referendum that led to the construction of Qwest Field in Seattle. Voters "believed" the all-or-nothing threat that characterizes all sports facility votes. In addition, there are proximity values since the odds of voting yes decrease with distance from the proposed facility site and increase with population. All-in-all, the nine closest counties, also more highly populated and richer counties, had their way in this election.

description: In the companion paper [SciPost Phys. 13, 108 (2022), arXiv:2205.11401 [hep-th]] we have studied the solution space at null infinity for gravity in the partial Bondi gauge. This partial gauge enables to recover as particular cases and among other choices the Bondi-Sachs and Newman-Unti gauges, and to approach the question of the most general boundary conditions and asymptotic charges in gravity. Here we compute and study the asymptotic charges and their algebra in this partial Bondi gauge, by focusing on the flat case with a varying boundary metric $δq_{AB}\neq0$. In addition to the super-translations, super-rotations, and Weyl transformations, we find two extra asymptotic symmetries associated with non-vanishing charges labelled by free functions in the solution space. These new symmetries arise from a weaker definition of the radial coordinate and switch on traces in the transverse metric. We also exhibit complete gauge fixing conditions in which these extra asymptotic symmetries and charges survive. As a byproduct of this calculation we obtain the charges in Newman-Unti gauge, in which one of these extra asymptotic charges is already non-vanishing. We also apply the formula for the charges in the partial Bondi gauge to the computation of the charges for the Kerr spacetime in Bondi coordinates.

Subjects: Campylobacter infections -- Pathogenesis

description: Campylobacter jejuni is the most frequent bacterial cause of gastroenteritis in the world. Acute disease is associated with invasion of host epithelial cells and inflammation of the intestinal epithelium. C. jejuni virulence factors participate in motility, adherence, invasion, protein secretion, and intracellular survival. In contrast with humans, C. jejuni is a commensal organism in chickens. Indeed, C. jejuni infection is often a consequence of consuming foods contaminated with undercooked poultry. This dissertation contains a review of C. jejuni pathogenesis and protein secretion followed by two studies investigating C. jejuni virulence factors. The first study assessed the impact of innate immunity on the development of acute disease in a susceptible host. C. jejuni invaded human epithelial cells efficiently, whereas invasion of chicken epithelial cells was minimal. Expression of the chicken IL-8 orthologs was significantly less than the expression of human IL-8 in response to C. jejuni infection. These findings revealed that host cell invasion and activation of the host inflammatory response characterize the pathogenic relationship of C. jejuni with humans, but not the commensal relationship of C. jejuni with chickens. The second study investigated C. jejuni adherence to fibronectin (Fn), a process critical for C. jejuni host colonization and invasion of host cells. C. jejuni synthesizes two Fn-binding proteins - FlpA and CadF. The CadF Fn-binding domain was determined previously to be 134FRLS137. FlpA harbors three domains resembling Fn type 3 repeats: D1, D2, and D3. ELISAs were conducted to identify the FlpA Fn-binding domain. Fn adherence to FlpA-D2 was dosedependent and saturable, indicating the interaction was specific, whereas Fn adherence to D1 and D3 was nonspecific. The FlpA Fn-binding domain was localized further using overlapping synthetic peptides spanning the FlpA-D2 amino acids sequence. Maximal Fn-binding was localized to 158PHPDFRV164. Finally, it was determined that FlpA bound to the gelatin-binding domain of Fn. This characterization of the interactions between FlpA and Fn contributes to our understanding of how adherence to Fn contributes to C. jejuni pathogenesis. Studies are in progress to determine the impact of FlpA adherence to on CadF, and to understand how FlpA may contribute to host cell invasion.

description: `Hypergeometric states', which are a one-parameter generalization of binomial states of the single-mode quantized radiation field, are introduced and their nonclassical properties are investigated. Their limits to the binomial states and to the coherent and number states are studied. The ladder operator formulation of the hypergeometric states is found and the algebra involved turns out to be a one-parameter deformation of $su(2)$ algebra. These states exhibit highly nonclassical properties, like sub-Poissonian character, antibunching and squeezing effects. The quasiprobability distributions in phase space, namely the $Q$ and the Wigner functions are studied in detail. These remarkable properties seem to suggest that the hypergeometric states deserve further attention from theoretical and applicational sides of quantum optics.

description: This article explores the essential role of standards and standardization in the global context. Every year October 14th, Standards Day commemorates the work of Standards Development Organizations, which forge common ground in our diverse global marketplace. Standards are the cornerstone of product consistency, interconnectivity, and universal understanding. The paper delves into the history and development of standards, spotlighting organizations like the IEC and ISO that paved the way for seamless global trade. National standards bodies also play a vital role in setting industry benchmarks, certifying products, and representing their countries in international contexts. Standards act as the world's common language, fostering interchangeability, compatibility, and technology transfer. They break down trade barriers by harmonizing requirements and improving global communication through standardized signage and protocols. These standards benefit consumers, businesses, governments, and society by ensuring quality, safety, and environmental protection. Despite challenges in some domains, the role of standards in facilitating international business and projecting a global image remains paramount in our increasingly interconnected world.

description: It is known that hyperbolic non\-autonomous linear delay differential equations in a finite dimensional space are Hyers--Ulam stable and hence shadowable. The converse result is available only in the special case of autonomous and periodic linear delay differential equations with a simple spectrum. In this paper, we prove the converse and hence the equivalence of all three notions in the title for a general class of nonautonomous linear delay differential equations with uniformly bounded coefficients. The importance of the boundedness assumption is shown by an example.

Using the synthetic Schlieren method, we are able to measure the dynamic response of the free surface accurately. In order to match experimental conditions, we extend Bühler's theory of impulsive forcing (\cite{buhler}) to finite depth. We demonstrate the improved ability of this approach to reproduce the experimental findings, once the observed continuous forcing and hence non-zero temporal and spatial extent of the leg strokes is also taken into account.

Phylogeography, song divergence and reproductive isolation in two species of songbird
Creators: name: Colbeck, Gabriel Joseph
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Songbirds -- Speciation

description: The process of how and why populations diverge and become different species is a topic of widespread interest. A complete understanding of the process of speciation requires that we understand the causes of divergence between populations, as well as the consequences of that divergence. Regardless of the causes of divergence, the consequences must include some degree of reproductive isolation in order for speciation to proceed. For two species of songbird, the American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) and the Black-throated Blue Warbler (Dendroica caerulescens), we find evidence that recent glacial cycles have contributed to allopatric and parapatric divergence, respectively. For the Black-throated Blue Warbler, we find that the causes of the divergence between populations may include sexual selection, as songs in the northern population have faster trills, and sexual selection favors fast trills in this population. The consequences of this divergence may include reproductive isolation, as males in the northern population respond more to local songs compared to non-local songs. However, in the southern population males do not discriminate between northern and southern songs, thus reproductive isolation may be asymmetric and incomplete. These results provide support for the hypothesis that recent glacial cycles may be contributing to diversification and speciation. In addition, we find a rare example of sexual selection acting to contribute to differences across populations, as well as a rare example of asymmetric discrimination, which may be one of the very first steps in the process of speciation.

The first order electroweak phase transition weakens with increasing Higgs-mass and terminates at a critical end-point. For Higgs-mass values larger than about $m_{H,c}=75.4(6)$ GeV the thermodynamic signature of the transition is described by a crossover. Close to this Higgs-mass value we investigate the vector boson propagator in Landau gauge. The calculated W-boson screening masses are compared with predictions based on gap equations.

We assume two scenarios, chemically equilibrated charge neutral matter present in the interior of compact stars and zero-strangeness isospin-symmetric matter created in nuclear experiments. We show that the magnetization oscillates with density but in a much more smooth form than what was previously shown in the literature. As a consequence, we do not see the unphysical behavior in the pressure in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field that was previously found. Finally, we also analyze the effects of a vector interaction on our results.

description: Although disk accretion onto compact objects - white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes - is central to much of high energy astrophysics, the mechanisms which enable this process have remained observationally elusive. Accretion disks must transfer angular momentum for matter to travel radially inward onto the compact object. Internal viscosity from magnetic processes and disk winds can in principle both transfer angular momentum, but hitherto we lacked evidence that either occurs. Here we report that an X-ray-absorbing wind discovered in an observation of the stellar-mass black hole binary GRO J1655-40 must be powered by a magnetic process that can also drive accretion through the disk. Detailed spectral analysis and modeling of the wind shows that it can only be powered by pressure generated by magnetic viscosity internal to the disk or magnetocentrifugal forces. This result demonstrates that disk accretion onto black holes is a fundamentally magnetic process.

description: Following the relationship between probability distribution and coherent states, for example the well known Poisson distribution and the ordinary coherent states and relatively less known one of the binomial distribution and the $su(2)$ coherent states, we propose ``interpretation'' of $su(1,1)$ and $su(r,1)$ coherent states ``in terms of probability theory''. They will be called the ``negative binomial'' (``multinomial'') ``states'' which correspond to the ``negative'' binomial (multinomial) distribution, the non-compact counterpart of the well known binomial (multinomial) distribution. Explicit forms of the negative binomial (multinomial) states are given in terms of various boson representations which are naturally related to the probability theory interpretation. Here we show fruitful interplay of probability theory, group theory and quantum theory.

ChromaStarDB: SQL database-driven spectrum synthesis, and more

description: We present an alternate deployment of the GrayStarServer (now ChromaStarServer (CSS)) pedagogical stellar atmosphere and spectrum synthesis WWW-application, namely ChromaStarDB (CSDB), in which the atomic line list used for spectrum synthesis is implemented as an SQL database table rather than as a more conventional byte-data file. This allows for very flexible selection criteria to determine which transitions are extracted from the line list for inclusion in the synthesis, and enables novel pedagogical and research experiments in spectrum synthesis. This line selection flexibility is reflected in the CSDB UI. The database extraction is very fast and would be appropriate for the larger line lists of research-grade modeling codes. We also take the opportunity to present major additions to the ChromaStar and CSS codes that are also reflected in CSDB: i) TiO band opacity in the JOLA approximation, ii) Metal b-f and Rayleigh scattering opacity, iii) 2D implementation of the flux integral, iv) Improvement of the N_e convergence, and v) Expansion of the exo-planet modeling parameters, and vi) General improvements to the UI.

How much energy is input into the IGM depends on the minimum energy to which the power-law distribution of relativistic particles is accelerated in the hotspots. This has hitherto been unknown to within three orders of magnitude. We present direct evidence for the discovery of this low-energy cutoff in the lobe of a Mpc-sized radio galaxy via the existence of extended X-ray emission, inverse-Compton scattered from aged radio plasma, and its separation by 80kpc from regions containing freshly accelerated plasma from the hotspot. The low-energy cutoff of gamma ~ 10^4 in the hotspot is higher than previously thought, but reconciles discrepancies with magnetic field estimates which had been systematically lower than equipartition values. The inverse Compton scattering of the spent synchrotron plasma is at the expense of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons; we comment on the importance of such giant radio galaxies as contaminants of CMB anisotropies.

description: We investigate the work fluctuations in an overdamped non-equilibrium process that is stopped at a stochastic time. The latter is characterized by a first passage event that marks the completion of the non-equilibrium process. In particular, we consider a particle diffusing in one dimension in the presence of a time-dependent potential $U(x,t) = k |x-vt|^n/n$, where $k>0$ is the stiffness and $n>0$ is the order of the potential. Moreover, the particle is confined between two absorbing walls, located at $L_{\pm}(t) $, that move with a constant velocity $v$ and are initially located at $L_{\pm}(0) = \pm L$. As soon as the particle reaches any of the boundaries, the process is said to be completed and here, we compute the work done $W$ by the particle in the modulated trap upto this random time. Employing the Feynman-Kac path integral approach, we find that the typical values of the work scale with $L$ with a crucial dependence on the order $n$. While for $n>1$, we show that $\mom{W} \sim L^{1-n}~\exp \left[ \left( {k L^{n}}/{n}-v L \right)/D \right] $ for large $L$, we get an algebraic scaling of the form $\mom{W} \sim L^n$ for the $n<1$ case. The marginal case of $n=1$ is exactly solvable and our analysis unravels three distinct scaling behaviours: (i) $\mom{W} \sim L$ for $v>k$, (ii) $\mom{W} \sim L^2$ for $v=k$ and (iii) $\mom{W} \sim \exp\left[{-(v-k)L}\right]$ for $v

Oscillation monitoring system based on wide area phasor measurements in power systems

Subjects: Electric power systems -- Management

description: This dissertation presents an Oscillation Monitoring System (OMS) based on real-time wide-area measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). This OMS is designed to detect poorly-damped or negatively-damped electromechanical modes in the early stage of an oscillation event, as well as provide warning signals from normal system operating conditions when mode damping becomes insufficient for safe operation of power systems. Depending on different mathematical models of the measured data, different processing algorithms are used. The system disturbance part of the OMS is designed to monitor system events in real-time for the purpose of emergency control, while the ambient part monitors the system without any disturbances for the purpose of preventive control. These two parts are complementary to each other, constituting a complete monitoring system. Power system responses following system disturbances contain both linear and nonlinear phenomena. Moreover, presence of noise and switching events in the measurements can upset the accuracy of results. For these reasons, we developed different crosscheck rules to avoid false alarms due to inconsistent estimations. Three signal processing algorithms are used, namely, Prony's Method, Matrix Pencil Method and Hankel Total Least Squares (HTLS) method. Results from these engines are processed using a custom developed set of rules for handling the complexities of modal analysis from real-time PMU measurements. Ambient data are collected during normal system operations. Unlike previous methods used for ambient data processing, the modified Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD) is able to simultaneously identify damping and mode shape of the dominant mode using several minutes of ambient data. FDD also works well for noisy measurements and correlated inputs, and it appears to be useful specifically for analyzing real-time PMU measurements. Together with the post-disturbance data processing following system events, it provides a powerful framework of an oscillation monitoring system from wide-area PMU measurements.

Behavioral management parent training for children with developmental delays ages 18-36 months

Subjects: Behavior Therapy

description: Behavior management parent training has been found to be effective in reducing child problem behavior in a variety of populations. However, little of this research has focused on its effectiveness for families of children under the age of 3 years or children with developmental delays. The purpose this study is to attend to this gap by assessing the efficacy of a group BMPT program for families with children, ages 18-36 months. The results were generally consistent with previous research on BMPT for typically developing children with significant differences between the treatment and control group at the post-intervention time point on parent reported measures of aggressive behavior, emotional reactivity, and parenting stress. Qualitative observations regarding fidelity to a behavioral program by professionals from disciplines other than psychology with little or no formal training in behavioral interventions are also discussed.

description: I consider the theory of quantum error correcting code (QECC) where each quantum particle has more than two possible eigenstates. In this higher spin system, I report an explicit QECC that is related to the symmetry group ${\Bbb Z}_2^{\otimes (N-1)} \otimes S_N$. This QECC, which generalizes Shor's simple majority vote code, is able to correct errors arising from exactly one quantum particle. I also provide a simple encoding algorithm.

description: We have studied the uncertainty on the determination of the dark energy equation of state due to a non-vanishing spatial curvature by considering some fundamental observables. We discussed the sensitivity of these observables to the value and redshift history of the equation of state and the spatial curvature and investigated whether these different observables are complementary and can help to reduce the cosmic confusion.

description: An autoethnographic qualitative research method was used in this study was to describe, analyze, and interpret the nature, appearance, and consequence of listening for leadership in schools to reduce homophobia, neutralize sexual stigma, and stop heterosexism. Documented in this study was my journey becoming an ally for LGBTQ people. Data was gathered in my day-to-day experiences as a mother, teacher, Gay-Straight Alliance advisor, and Safe School Coalition speaker in journals, field notes, observations, and interviews. The transformation that I describe and analyze about becoming and being an LGBTQ teacher ally occurred through what social and behavioral scientists define as leadership. These experiences build on a new model of leadership that is generally defined as a process of social interaction concerned with influencing the normative, adaptive, and transformational purposes of participating individuals where listening to what followers are saying through words and actions is of utmost importance.
