description: We calculate the long-distance radiative corrections δ^e_{LD} and δ^μ_{LD} to the K^0 -> π^- e^+ ν_e and the K^0 -> pi^- μ^+ ν_μ decay rates. This analysis includes contributions to the long-distance radiative corrections from outside the kinematically-allowed three-body Dalitz region and tests the sensitivity of the radiative corrections to the hadronic K-pi form factors. A program, KLOR, was written to numerically evaluate the radiative corrections and to generate Monte Carlo events for experimental acceptance studies. The K^0_{e3} and the K^0_{μ3} long-distance radiative correction parameters are determined to be (1.3 +/- 0.3)% and (1.9 +/- 0.3)%, respectively. We also present predictions for the fraction of radiative K^0_{l3} events satisfying various requirements on final-state photon kinematics.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF VALUE PRIORITIES IN A SAMPLE OF UNITED STATES AIR FORCE PERSONNEL AND THEIR SPOUSES
Creators: name: Ekman, Kaye L.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The value systems, as defined through the Rokeach Value Survey, Form D, of a sample of male Air Force members and their female civilian spouses were compared and contrasted. The delegates to the 1981 Air Force Family Conference, and their spouses, were mailed Pre-Conference Surveys which included the Rokeach Value Survey, Form D. These delegates representing Air Force bases worldwide attended the Conference to address Air Force family issues. Responses collected from 188 male Air Force members and their 188 female civilian spouses were the research data. As directed by the Rokeach Value Survey, Form D, respondents prioritized 18 Terminal values, or preferred end-states, and 18 Instrumental values, or modes of conduct. The null hypothesis was that there were no significant differences in value priorities between study population male members and their female spouses. The alternate hypothesis was that members and spouses would differ in value priorities in ways consistent with traditional differences between males and females in value prioritization. The Mann-Whitney U Test was used to test for statistical difference in value priorities for each value. At the .01 level, differences for a total of 16 values were found. Male Air Force members ranked the values National Security, Pleasure, Social Recognition, Ambitious, Capable, Imaginative, Logical, and Self-Controlled higher than did their female civilian spouses. In contrast, the values Equality, Inner Harmony, True Friendship, Cheerful, Forgiving, Helpful, Loving, and Polite were prioritized higher by female spouses than by their member husbands. These findings were interpreted for their meaning to Air Force leadership for initiatives essential in the design and implementation of future programs and policies to promote better communication and understanding within the Air Force family. On the basis of this study, it was concluded: that respondent Air Force members, like men in general, are oriented towards values emphasizing hedonism, competency, and achievement; that study population female spouses, like women in general, have internalized values focusing on dependency, affiliation, and avoidance of conflict; and that the value systems of sample Air Force members and their spouses are consistent with value systems of couples in general.

description: We have implemented a Walsh-Hadamard gate, which performs a quantum Fourier transform, in a superconducting qutrit. The qutrit is encoded in the lowest three energy levels of a capacitively shunted flux device, operated at the optimal flux-symmetry point. We use an efficient decomposition of the Walsh-Hadamard gate into two unitaries, generated by off-diagonal and diagonal Hamiltonians respectively. The gate implementation utilizes simultaneous driving of all three transitions between the three pairs of energy levels of the qutrit, one of which is implemented with a two-photon process. The gate has a duration of 35 ns and an average fidelity over a representative set of states, including preparation and tomography errors, of 99.2%, characterized with quantum state tomography. Compensation of ac-Stark and Bloch-Siegert shifts is essential for reaching high gate fidelities.

description: We study hypergraph clustering in the weighted $d$-uniform hypergraph stochastic block model ($d$\textsf{-WHSBM}), where each edge consisting of $d$ nodes from the same community has higher expected weight than the edges consisting of nodes from different communities. We propose a new hypergraph clustering algorithm, called \textsf{CRTMLE}, and provide its performance guarantee under the $d$\textsf{-WHSBM} for general parameter regimes. We show that the proposed method achieves the order-wise optimal or the best existing results for approximately balanced community sizes. Moreover, our results settle the first recovery guarantees for growing number of clusters of unbalanced sizes. Involving theoretical analysis and empirical results, we demonstrate the robustness of our algorithm against the unbalancedness of community sizes or the presence of outlier nodes.

description: Verification establishes the psychological and political practicability of arms control by assuring parties to an agreement that security will not be diminished by their own faithful compliance. Even when upgraded monitoring capabilities are unnecessary for strategic security, they still might be required to mitigate actors' uncertainties. Verification in this sense can be a placebo as well as a genuine security precaution. Actors defined and assessed SALT II verification within stipulatory, strategic, historical, international and domestic political contexts. Many saw insufficient merit in the agreement to justify taking the perceived verification risks. Disagreements over the U.S.-Soviet strategic relationship prevented a consensus on cheating's likely significance. Intense U.S.-Soviet ideological conflict in which core values were perceived to be at stake prompted some actors to resist the idea of shared interests in SALT because of its apparent inconsistency with their negative images of the Soviet Union. Cognitive consistency theories, which address the way information incongruent with existing beliefs is assimilated, are useful in explaining verification decisions under these circumstances. They suggest cases of "Inherent Bad Faith" decisionmaking in which evidence of compliance is interpreted as skillful cheating. Exacerbated tensions caused by the Soviet Union's other political and military behavior further obscured underlying mutual interest in SALT, reinforced traditional views that unrestrained competition would provide more security, and made some key actors hyper-vigilant against noncompliance. The Carter administration was thought to be over-committed to SALT and therefore its objectivity in verifying compliance was challenged. Perceptions of objectivity and good judgment were partly contingent on SALT II's place in its hierarchy of foreign policy objectives. An equally strong but less visible commitment would have made verification a less prominent issue. Verification also afforded the domestic political opposition an effective medium for criticizing an incumbent administration, impugning its credibility and competence, and defeating SALT II without challenging arms control's underlying principles. This suggests that, because other parties cannot be trusted, the judgments of those responsible for verification have to be.

description: Far and mid infrared optical pulses have been shown to induce non-equilibrium unconventional orders in complex materials, including photo-induced ferroelectricity in quantum paraelectrics, magnetic polarization in antiferromagnets and transient superconducting correlations in the normal state of cuprates and organic conductors. In the case of non-equilibrium superconductivity, femtosecond drives have generally resulted in electronic properties that disappear immediately after excitation, evidencing a state that lacks intrinsic rigidity. Here, we make use of a new optical device to drive metallic K$_3$C$_{60}$ with mid-infrared pulses of tunable duration, ranging between one picosecond and one nanosecond. The same superconducting-like optical properties observed over short time windows for femtosecond excitation are shown here to become metastable under sustained optical driving, with lifetimes in excess of ten nanoseconds. Direct electrical probing becomes possible at these timescales, yielding a vanishingly small resistance. Such a colossal positive photo-conductivity is highly unusual for a metal and, when taken together with the transient optical conductivities, it is rather suggestive of metastable light-induced superconductivity.

description: We investigate the potential of transparency to influence committee decisionmaking. We present a model in which career concerned committee members receive private information of different type-dependent accuracy, deliberate and vote. We study three levels of transparency under which career concerns are predicted to affect behavior differently, and test the model’s key predictions in a laboratory experiment. The model’s predictions are largely borne out - transparency negatively affects information aggregation at the deliberation and voting stages, leading to sharply different committee error rates than under secrecy. This occurs despite subjects revealing more information under transparency than theory predicts.

Time-Response Functions of Fractional-Derivative Rheological Models

description: In view of the increasing attention to the time responses of complex fluids described by power-laws in association with the need to capture inertia effects that manifest in high-frequency microrheology, we compute the five basic time-response functions of in-series or in-parallel connections of two elementary fractional derivative elements known as the Scott-Blair (springpot) element. The order of fractional differentiation in each Scott-Blair element is allowed to exceed unity reaching values up to 2 and at this limit-case the Scott-Blair element becomes an inerter--a mechanical analogue of the electric capacitor that its output force is proportional only to the relative acceleration of its end-nodes. With this generalization, inertia effects may be captured beyond the traditional viscoelastic behavior. In addition to the relaxation moduli and the creep compliances, we compute closed form expressions of the memory functions, impulse fluidities (impulse response functions) and impulse strain-rate response functions of the generalized fractional derivative Maxwell fluid, the generalized fractional derivative Kelvin-Voigt element and their special cases that have been implemented in the literature. Central to these calculations is the fractional derivative of the Dirac delta function which makes possible the extraction of singularities embedded in the fractional derivatives of the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler function that emerges invariably in the time-response functions of fractional derivative rheological modes.
title: Mathematics anxiety in student nurses
Creators: name: Johnson, Gay Brianna
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Mathematics anxiety is a significant problem amongst student nurses and can potentially have a negative impact on an individual’s ability to perform safely and effectively in practice. This creates problems for those involved in developing undergraduate nursing programmes and supporting the students in their learning. This study explores mathematics anxiety in student nurses in the belief that a better understanding may help to develop better strategies to prevent or reduce anxiety, or help to address the problems that it creates. The study employs a Mixed Methods design and consists of two stages. The first is a survey of one cohort of student nurses to determine the extent of mathematics anxiety within the cohort. A data collection tool was developed and 423 completed questionnaires were returned. A total of 68.1% of students reported moderate to very high levels of mathematics anxiety. Statistical tests were performed to determine any differences due to gender, age, educational history and previous mathematics qualifications. The second stage was in-depth narrative interviews with students who reported high or very high levels of mathematics anxiety, exploring any experiences they associated with when, why and how that anxiety developed. Nine students were interviewed and several themes emerged including the language of mathematics, the students’ inherited legacy of mathematics, implications for practice and interventions that students found most helpful. The results of the study suggest that for many students their mathematics anxiety did not arise from traumatic experiences with aggressive mathematics teachers as is often purported, but as a result of the way in which they were taught mathematics, a lack of a positive working relationship with their teachers or a lack of concern or support from their family. The findings also suggest that for some students, previous successes in mathematics have not increased their confidence in their ability, possibly due to their perceptions of it as a cold and remote subject and the surface approach to learning that they have adopted in order to pass mathematics examinations.

The presence of lithium absorption at 670.8 nm and the strong Halpha emission indicate a young age and a sub-stellar mass. Our diffraction-limited images resolve a companion at the separation limit of HST/ACS (~0.06"). The 2.1 mJy flux in the LW2 filter (5.0-8.5 microns) of the Infrared Space Observatory (see 1999A&A...350..883) likely corresponds to an infrared excess, suggesting the presence of circumstellar material. Proper motion and photometric measurements, as well as the Halpha activity, confirm membership in the R-CrA star forming region. If confirmed by further observations, DENIS-P J185950.9-370632 would be the first accreting sub-stellar multiple system observed to date.

description: I decompose deviations of the Federal funds rate from a Taylor type monetary policy rule into exogenous monetary policy shocks and a time-varying inflation target. I show that the role of exogenous shocks may be exaggerated in a fixed inflation target model, and a large fraction of business cycle fluctuations attributed to them may actually be due to changes in the inflation target. A time-varying inflation target explains approximately half of the volatility normally attributed to these deviations, and consequently more than a quarter of the fluctuations in the business cycle. This contributes approximately 39% additional inflation volatility during the Great Inflation. I show that shocks to the inflation target imply a lower sacrifice ratio compared to exogenous changes in the interest rate and therefore propose a gradual adjustment of the inflation target in order to achieve monetary policy objectives.
Proposed experiment of which-way detection by longitudinal momentum transfer in Young's double slit experiment
Creators: name: Sato, Masanori
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The momentum of a photon may reveal the answer to the "which way" problem of Young's double slit experiments. A photon passing through the boundary between two media, in which a photon travels at different velocities, undergoes a momentum change according to the law of conservation of momentum. The momentum of the photon is transferred locally to the medium, and the boundary between the media receives stress, which determines the photon trajectory. An experiment is performed using a crystal plate that can transform the stress to electric charge. We are able to detect the electric charge after the detection of the photon on the screen, and control the sensitivity of photon detection. By means of this proposed experiment it is determined whether or not an attempt to detect the "which way" of photon travel destroys the interference patterns.

Our proof is applicable to the case of real analytic potentials and of supports, consisting of one or two disjoint intervals.

description: The de-confinement phase transition in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is revisited in the vortex picture. Defining the world sheets of the confining vortices by maximal center projection, the percolation properties of the vortex lines in the hypercube consisting of the time axis and two spatial axis are studied. Using the percolation cumulant, the temperature for the percolation transition is seen to be in good agreement with the critical temperature of the thermal transition. The finite size scaling function for the cumulant is obtained. The critical index of the finite size scaling function is consistent with the index of the 3D Ising model.

HARVESTING THE CROPS OF OTHERS: MIGRANT FARM LABOR ON THE EASTERN SHORE OF VIRGINIA
Creators: name: Heppel, Monica Lucille
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Each year several thousand migrant farmworkers come to the Eastern Shore of Virginia to live and work. Most travel in labor crews under the supervision and domination of a crew leader. Workers on these crews share many features characteristic of migrant life: low wages, isolated living places, and health problems due to unsanitary conditions and pesticide exposure. However, significant differences among labor crews also exist based on the composition of the crew by age, gender, and cultural background. Fieldwork for this dissertation was conducted in 1978-1979 in Florida and on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Data were gathered by living and working with six different labor crews on the Shore and form the basis for a descriptive account of these crews. Research was also conducted among farmers and those who work with social service programs for migrants both in Florida and on the Shore. An account of the migrant labor system from the perspective of the three categories of participants in it--farmers, crew leaders, and workers--is also provided. Most workers who came to the Shore in 1979 were from either of two cultural groups, American black or Mexican/Mexican-American. The effects of the differing cultural backgrounds of these workers form the major area of investigation for this dissertation. Cultural background and orientation were found to be significant on three analytical levels. On the most obvious level, the surface markers of ethnicity served to distinguish black and Mexican crews from each other. These differences were significant as boundary markers both for non-crew members and for the workers themselves. At the second level of analysis, the social structure and organization of black and Mexican labor crews were found to be essentially identical. The migrant labor system imposed its own structure on the crews which determined how workers organized the work as well as how they related to their employers and to each other. Only when looking at the larger system of migrant labor, and specifically at strategies workers had used to decrease dependence on a crew leader while still remaining migrant farmworkers, did differences stemming from cultural background and orientation arise. The third level of analysis dealt with the ideas which migrant farmworkers held about their work, about themselves as migrants, and about their future in farmwork. Differences between black and Mexican workers were found on this ideological level. These differences were tied to a group's historical background as well as to their current position within American society.

 Notes
 The new species described below is intermediate between the genera Artocella van Achterberg, 1980, and Clinocentrus Haliday, together with C. kozlovi Belokobylskij, 1995 and 1995 and C. kalmyk Belokobylskij, 1995. For instance, C. amiri and C. kozlovi have a comparatively short vein 3-SR of forewing (vein 2-SR 1.3–2.6 times vein 3-SR versus 0.6–0.8 in most Clinocentrus sensu stricto and 8 times in Artocella) if vein 3-SR is present; and short marginal cell of forewing (vein 1- R 1 0.7–0.8 times length of pterostigma versus 1.1–1.4 times and 0.1–0.5 times in Artocella) combined with shorter palpi (as in Artocella) than in Clinocentrus sensu stricto. The two genera can be separated as follows:
 1.Second submarginal cell of fore wing triangular or subtriangular; vein 1- R 1 of fore wing 0.1–0.6 times length of pterostigma; vein 2-SR of fore wing approx. 8 times as long as vein 3-SR or vein 3-SR absent; palpi short and maxillary palp with 5 segments.... Artocella van Achterberg, 1980
 -Second submarginal cell of fore wing quadrangular; vein 1- R 1 of fore wing 0.7–1.4 times length of pterostigma; vein 2-SR of fore wing 0.6–2.6 times as long as vein 3-SR; length of palpi variable and maxillary palp with 6 segments, but sometimes both basal segments amalgamated....

description: In this Letter, we provide a determination of the coupling constant in three-flavor quantum chromodynamics (QCD), $α^{\overline{\mathrm{MS}}}_s(μ)$, for $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ renormalization scales $μ\in (1,\,2)$ GeV. The computation uses gauge field configuration ensembles with $\mathcal{O}(a)$-improved Wilson-clover fermions generated by the Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) consortium. Our approach is based on current-current correlation functions and has never been applied before in this context. We convert the results perturbatively to the QCD $Λ$-parameter and obtain $Λ_{\overline{\mathrm{MS}}}^{N_f=3} = 342 \pm 17$ MeV, which agrees with the world average published by the Particle Data Group and has competing precision. The latter was made possible by a unique combination of state-of-the-art CLS ensembles with very fine lattice spacings, further reduction of discretization effects from a dedicated numerical stochastic perturbation theory simulation, combining data from vector and axial-vector channels and matching to high-order perturbation theory.

description: Each year several thousand migrant farmworkers come to the Eastern Shore of Virginia to live and work. Most travel in labor crews under the supervision and domination of a crew leader. Workers on these crews share many features characteristic of migrant life: low wages, isolated living places, and health problems due to unsanitary conditions and pesticide exposure. However, significant differences among labor crews also exist based on the composition of the crew by age, gender, and cultural background. Fieldwork for this dissertation was conducted in 1978-1979 in Florida and on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Data were gathered by living and working with six different labor crews on the Shore and form the basis for a descriptive account of these crews. Research was also conducted among farmers and those who work with social service programs for migrants both in Florida and on the Shore. An account of the migrant labor system from the perspective of the three categories of participants in it--farmers, crew leaders, and workers--is also provided. Most workers who came to the Shore in 1979 were from either of two cultural groups, American black or Mexican/Mexican-American. The effects of the differing cultural backgrounds of these workers form the major area of investigation for this dissertation. Cultural background and orientation were found to be significant on three analytical levels. On the most obvious level, the surface markers of ethnicity served to distinguish black and Mexican crews from each other. These differences were significant as boundary markers both for non-crew members and for the workers themselves. At the second level of analysis, the social structure and organization of black and Mexican labor crews were found to be essentially identical. The migrant labor system imposed its own structure on the crews which determined how workers organized the work as well as how they related to their employers and to each other. Only when looking at the larger system of migrant labor, and specifically at strategies workers had used to decrease dependence on a crew leader while still remaining migrant farmworkers, did differences stemming from cultural background and orientation arise. The third level of analysis dealt with the ideas which migrant farmworkers held about their work, about themselves as migrants, and about their future in farmwork. Differences between black and Mexican workers were found on this ideological level. These differences were tied to a group's historical background as well as to their current position within American society.

description: We propose a Bayesian inference framework to estimate uncertainties in inverse scattering problems. Given the observed data, the forward model and their uncertainties, we find the posterior distribution over a finite parameter field representing the objects. To construct the prior distribution we use a topological sensitivity analysis. We demonstrate the approach on the Bayesian solution of 2D inverse problems in light and acoustic holography with synthetic data. Statistical information on objects such as their center location, diameter size, orientation, as well as material properties, are extracted by sampling the posterior distribution. Assuming the number of objects known, comparison of the results obtained by Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling and by sampling a Gaussian distribution found by linearization about the maximum a posteriori estimate show reasonable agreement. The latter procedure has low computational cost, which makes it an interesting tool for uncertainty studies in 3D. However, MCMC sampling provides a more complete picture of the posterior distribution and yields multi-modal posterior distributions for problems with larger measurement noise. When the number of objects is unknown, we devise a stochastic model selection framework.

description: A recombination emission spectrum is applied to study the local lattice distortion due to core excitation in graphite. The recombination emission spectrum reveals a long low-energy tail when the C $1s$ electron is excited to the $σ^*$ core exciton state. This indicates a large local lattice distortion around the excited carbon atom within a core hole lifetime ($\sim$10fs). Theoretical calculation based upon an ionic cluster model well reproduces the experiments. The strong polarization correlation between incident and emitted X-rays is conclusive evidence of symmetry breaking in the core exciton state due to coupling with asymmetric vibrational modes.

A two-loop contribution to B_s --> mu^+ mu^- at large tan(beta) in the MSSM

description: We consider a two-loop contribution of Higgs-mediated penguin diagram to $B(B_s \to μ^+μ^-)$ at large $\tanβ$ in the MSSM, motivated by a recently proposed two-loop magnetic penguin diagrams by Chen and Geng [1]. Typically the two-loop diagram is a $α_s$ correction to the one-loop contributions. However the new contribution can dominate one-loop contributions in a region of parameter space where $μ$, $A_t$ and $A_b$ are very large and scalar top, scalar bottom and charged Higgs are light. Both constructive and destructive interferences are possible. The total branching ratio can be drastically changed from the one-loop result.

description: The relevance of the research presented is due to the constant updating of the lexical composition of the Russian language in the context of global processes. The aim of the article is the theoretical substantiation of the processes of neologization of the Russian lexical system. The article presents the views of both Russian and foreign authors on the problem. It is concluded that the lexical system of the Russian language is a flexible one that reacts to all changes in the environment and self-organizes. Moreover, the process of self-organization is often not amenable to regulation but is solely determined by the desire of certain social groups.

description: For gravity coupled to N scalar fields with arbitrary potential V, it is shown that all flat (homogeneous and isotropic) cosmologies correspond to geodesics in an (N+1)-dimensional `augmented' target space of Lorentzian signature (1,N), timelike if V>0, null if V=0 and spacelike if V<0. Accelerating cosmologies correspond to timelike geodesics that lie within an `acceleration subcone' of the `lightcone'. Non-flat (k=-1,+1) cosmologies are shown to evolve as projections of geodesic motion in a space of dimension (N+2), of signature (1,N+1) for k=-1 and signature (2,N) for k=+1. This formalism is illustrated by cosmological solutions of models with an exponential potential, which are comprehensively analysed; the late-time behviour for other potentials of current interest is deduced by comparison.

Подробно рассмотрены языки сферы менеджмента, IT-технологий и других социокультурных сфер, формирующих свои терминологические поля; представлены некоторые неологизмы, вошедшие в язык из новейшей сферы исследования, касающейся COVID-19. Еще раз подчеркивается гибкость лексической системы русского языка, не только привлекающую новые слова и фразы, но и активно трансформирующую их.
description: The article presents a practical aspect of the neologization of the Russian lexical system. On the basis of a continuous sample from various sources of the mass media, an analysis of neologisms included in the lexical system of the Russian language, but not always recorded by dictionaries, is carried out. The characteristics of neophrasemes and their classification by frames and slots are given. The languages of the sphere of management, IT-technologies and other socio-cultural spheres that form their own terminological fields are considered in detail; there presented some of the neologisms that have entered the language from the latest research area regarding COVID-19. The flexibility of the lexical system of the Russian language which not only attracts new words and phrases but also actively transforms them, is emphasized once again.
