description: Context: The analysis of unresolved stellar populations demands evolutionary synthesis models with realistic physical ingredients and extended wavelength coverage. Aims: To obtain a quantitative description of the first CO bandhead at 2.3 $μ$m, to allow stellar population models to provide improved predictions in this wavelength range. Methods: We have observed a new stellar library with a better coverage of the stellar atmospheric parameter space than preceding works. We have performed a detailed analysis of the robustness of previous CO index definitions with spectral resolution, wavelength calibration, signal-to-noise ratio, and flux calibration. Results: We define a new line-strength index for the first CO bandhead at 2.3 $μ$m, D$_{\rm CO}$, better suited for stellar population studies than previous index definitions. We compute empirical fitting functions for the CO feature as a function of the stellar parameters (T$_{\rm eff}$, $\log g$ and [Fe/H]), showing a detailed quantitative metallicity dependence.

description: We investigate thermal energy coupling between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and SiO2 with non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The thermal boundary conductance (g) per unit CNT length is found to scale proportionally with the strength of the Van der Waals interaction (~X), with CNT diameter (~D), and as a weak power law of temperature (~T^1/3 between 200-600 K). The thermal relaxation time of a single CNT on SiO2 is independent of diameter, tau ~ 85 ps. With the standard set of parameters g ~ 0.1 W/m/K for a 1.7 nm diameter CNT at room temperature. Our results are comparable to, and explain the range of experimental values for CNT-SiO2 thermal coupling from variations in diameter, temperature, or details of the surface interaction strength.

Gravitational Contributions to the Running Yang-Mills Coupling in Large Extra-Dimensional Brane Worlds

description: We study the question of a modification of the running gauge coupling of Yang-Mills theories due to quantum gravitational effects in a compact large extra dimensional brane world scenario with a low energy quantum gravity scale. The ADD scenario is applied for a D=d+δdimensional space-time in which gravitons freely propagate, whereas the non-abelian gauge fields are confined to a d-dimensional brane. The extra dimensions are taken to be toroidal and the transverse fluctuation modes (branons) of the brane are taken into account. On this basis we have calculated the one-loop corrections due to virtual Kaluza-Klein graviton and branon modes for the gluon two- and three-point functions in an effective field theory treatment. Applying momentum cut-off regularization we find that for a d=4 brane the leading gravitational divergencies cancel irrespective of the number of extra dimensions δ, generalizing previous results in the absence of extra-dimensions. Hence, again the Yang-Mills β-function receives no gravitational corrections at one-loop. This is no longer true in a `universal' extra dimensional scenario with a d>4 dimensional brane. Moreover, the subleading power-law gravitational divergencies induce higher-dimensional counterterms, which we establish in our scheme. Interestingly, for d=4 these gravitationally induced counterterms are of the form recently considered in non-abelian Lee-Wick extensions of the standard model -- now with a possible mass scale in the TeV range due to the presence of large extra dimensions.

Nanoscale surface properties and interaction with fundamental biomolecules of chlorite and phlogopite
Creators: name: Moro, Daniele <1979>

Subjects: GEO/06 Mineralogia

description: The surface properties of minerals have important implications in geology, environment, industry and biotechnology and for certain aspects in the research on the origin of life.
This research project aims to widen the knowledge on the nanoscale surface properties of chlorite and phlogopite by means of advanced methodologies, and also to investigate the interaction of fundamental biomolecules, such as nucleotides, RNA, DNA and amino acid glycine with the surface of the selected phyllosilicates.
Multiple advanced and complex experimental approaches based on scanning probe microscopy and spatially resolved spectroscopy were used and in some cases specifically developed.
The results demonstrate that chlorite exposes at the surface atomically flat terraces with 0.5 nm steps typically generated by the fragmentation of the octahedral sheet of the interlayer (brucitic-type). This fragmentation at the nanoscale generates a high anisotropy and inhomogeneity with surface type and isomorphous cationic substitutions determining variations of the effective surface potential difference, ranging between 50-100 mV and 400-500 mV, when measured in air, between the TOT surface and the interlayer brucitic sheet. The surface potential was ascribed to be the driving force of the observed high affinity of the surface with the fundamental biomolecules, like single molecules of nucleotides, DNA, RNA and amino acids.
Phlogopite was also observed to present an extended atomically flat surface, featuring negative surface potential values of some hundreds of millivolts and no significant local variations. Phlogopite surface was sometimes observed to present curvature features that may be ascribed to local substitutions of the interlayer cations or the presence of a crystal lattice mismatch or structural defects, such as stacking faults or dislocation loops. Surface chemistry was found similar to the bulk. The study of the interaction with nucleotides and glycine revealed a lower affinity with respect to the brucite-like surface of chlorite.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The area north of latitude 14° north in the Sudan is characterized by unreliable precipitation patterns and a high incidence of a drouth period following the first rain of the "rainy season." In this region it is not uncommon to have a completely dry year without a single rain shower. The damage occurring to the plant cover when a drouth period follows the first rain is great. This is especially the case for the annual plant species in that such precipitation distribution patterns tend to exhaust the seed supply in the soil and do not supply adequate moisture for seed germination. This factor has largely been responsible for development of sparse vegetal cover consisting mainly of shrubs with an occasional understory of early maturing annuals that are evident in years with a good rainy season.
title: Teacher Treatment Integrity in School Based Interventions
Creators: name: Simpson, Gregory A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Identifying effective treatments to address undesirable behaviors is one major goal of research in changing human behavior. Researchers want to demonstrate that it is indeed the treatment that is effecting a change in the target behavior and not some extraneous influence. When researchers examine the effectiveness of an intervention the treatment is implemented with the attempt to decrease the influence of other factors that may explain behavior change that occurs in hopes to see the desired effect of the independent variable (treatment) on the dependent variable (behavior). For this type of research, it is important to keep all variables except for the dependent variable as constant as possible, even if it is impossible to control for all outside influences. One method to increase the level of control within a study is to ensure that the treatment is accurately implemented as planned in order to minimize the effects of outside variables and more accurately determine if the treatment independent variable did effect any changes in the dependent variable. The extent to which a treatment plan is followed is often call treatment integrity, treatment fidelity or procedural reliability (Gresham, 1989). Lack of treatment integrity limits the confidence in treatment research outcomes by calling into question whether a functional relationship exists between the treatment process and behavior outcomes. Until recently few studies have included the evaluation of treatment integrity of the intervention examined (Schlosser, 2002: Mcintyre, Gresham, Di Gennaro & Reed, 2007).

description: Correlated ${\cal G}$ distributions can be used to describe the clutter seen in images obtained with coherent illumination, as is the case of B-scan ultrasound, laser, sonar and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. These distributions are derived using the square root of the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution for the amplitude backscatter within the multiplicative model. A two-parameters particular case of the amplitude ${\mathcal G}$ distribution, called ${\mathcal G}_{A}^{0}$, constitutes a modeling improvement with respect to the widespread ${\mathcal K}_{A}$ distribution when fitting urban, forested and deforested areas in remote sensing data. This article deals with the modeling and the simulation of correlated ${\mathcal G}_{A}^{0}$-distributed random fields. It is accomplished by means of the Inverse Transform method, applied to Gaussian random fields with spatial correlation. The main feature of this approach is its generality, since it allows the introduction of negative correlation values in the resulting process, necessary for the proper explanation of the shadowing effect in many SAR images.

title: A Review of Progressive Muscle Relaxation Interventions used with School-Aged Children and Adolescents
Creators: name: Laypath, Christopher
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) techniques have been used since the early
twentieth century as a means of inducing relaxation and decreasing muscle tension.
However, only in the last twenty five years have systematic studies of these techniques to
treat children and adolescents appeared with any regularity in the research literature.
The last major review of the literature was published in 1989. The purpose of this
paper was to examine studies published since the last review of the literature. A special
emphasis was placed on studies set in schools or that were relevant to mental health
professionals in those settings. The bulk of this paper was devoted to examining how
PMR has been used in the last decade to treat problems and disorders such as: anxiety,
depression, asthma, headaches, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, juvenile
rheumatoid arthritis, and tourette syndrome. It was found that PMR was most effective in
reducing somatic symptoms of anxiety and headache symptomatology but that more
research must be conducted before the overall efficacy of PMR with childhood
populations can be determined. This paper concludes with a discussion of how the current
findings can be used by school-based mental health practitioners.

description: La maggior parte dei pazienti che vengono sottoposti a interventi chirurgici per tumori solidi hanno un’età superiore a 70 anni1. Circa il 30% di questi pazienti vengono considerati “fragili”. Questi infatti presentano numerose comorbidità ed hanno un più elevato rischio di sviluppare complicanze postoperatorie con perdita della riserva funzionale residua. Per questo non esistono sistemi semplici di screening che permettano ai medici responsabili del trattamento di identificare questi pazienti con aumentato rischio postoperatorio. Identificare i pazienti a rischio è infatti il primo passo nel processo attraverso il quale è possibile prevenire in necessarie complicanze postoperatorie come delirio, eventi cardiovascolari e perdita della funzionalità complessiva con conseguente perdita di autonomia. Scopo di questo studio è quello di confrontare l’accuratezza nella previsione di mortalità e morbidità a 30 giorni dei tre test preditivi “Groningen Frailty Index” (GFI); “Vulnerable Elders Survey” (VES-13); “timed up and go test” con alcune componenti del Preoperative Assessment of Cancer in the Elderly (PACE). Lo studio verrà effettuato sui pazienti con età maggiore di 70 anni che dovranno essere sottoposti a intervento chirurgico in anestesia generale per la presenza di una neoplasia solida.
description: The majority of patients undergoing surgery for a solid tumour are over the age of 701. About 30% of these patients can be considered frail. They have comorbidities and are at a higher risk of developing postoperative complications and experience functional loss. So far there is no simple screening tool that allows the treating physician to identify those patients most at risk of developing postoperative problems. Identifying those at risk is a first step in the process towards preventing unnecessary postoperative complications such as delirium, cardiovascular complications and overall functional loss leading to loss of independency. This study will be performed to test the predictive value of the GFI, the VES-13  and the timed “up and go” test compared to components of PACE in elderly patients of the age of 70 years and above undergoing surgery for a solid tumour.

description: We accelerate the computation of spherical harmonic transforms, using what is known as the butterfly scheme. This provides a convenient alternative to the approach taken in the second paper from this series on "Fast algorithms for spherical harmonic expansions." The requisite precomputations become manageable when organized as a "depth-first traversal" of the program's control-flow graph, rather than as the perhaps more natural "breadth-first traversal" that processes one-by-one each level of the multilevel procedure. We illustrate the results via several numerical examples.

description: Introgression of domestic cat genes into European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) populations and reduction of wildcats’ range in Europe, leaded by habitat loss and fragmentation, are considered two of the main conservation problems for this endangered feline. This thesis addressed the questions related with the artificial hybridization and populations’ fragmentation, using a conservation genetics perspective.
We combined the use of highly polymorphic loci, Bayesian statistical inferences and landscape analyses tools to investigate the origin of the geographic-genetic substructure of European wildcats (Felis silvestris silvestris) in Italy and Europe. 
The genetic variability of microsatellites evidenced that European wildcat populations currently distributed in Italy differentiated in, and expanded from two distinct glacial refuges during the Last Glacial Maximum. The genetic and geographic substructure detected between the eastern and western sides of the Apennine ridge, resulted by adaptation to specific ecological conditions of the Mediterranean habitats.
European wildcat populations in Europe are strongly structured into 5 geographic-genetic macro clusters corresponding to: the Italian peninsular & Sicily; Balkans & north-eastern Italy; Germany eastern; central Europe; and Iberian Peninsula. Central European population might have differentiated in the extra-Mediterranean Würm ice age refuge areas (Northern Alps, Carpathians, and the Bulgarian mountain systems), while the divergence among and within the southern European populations might have resulted by the Pleistocene bio geographical framework of Europe, with three southern refugia localized in the Balkans, Italian Peninsula and Iberia Peninsula. 
We further combined the use of most informative autosomal SNPs with uniparental markers (mtDNA and Y-linked) for accurately detecting parental genotypes and levels of introgressive hybridization between European wild and domestic cats. A total of 11 hybrids were identified. The presence of domestic mitochondrial haplotypes shared with some wild individuals led us to hypnotize the possibility that ancient introgressive events might have occurred and that further investigation should be recommended.

This effect can be interpreted in terms of partonic structure of colliding nuclei. We use Feynman diagram analysis to describe details of this mechanism. Main qualitative features of the appropriate azimuthal correlations are discussed.

title: Parents of Children with Severe Disabilities: Parental Stress, Depression, and the Marital Relationship
Creators: name: Christensen, Melinda W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2002

description: This paper provides an overview of parental stress and depression in families with children diagnosed with severe cognitive disabilities. Previous research on parents with children with disabilities was reviewed. Studies were selected from peer-reviewed journal articles that specifically included children with an IQ below 70 or a noted cognitive impairment of a severe degree. Children in the study had to be living at home and below the age of 21. Significant levels of stress and depression were not found consistently in the studies reviewed. Parents of children with disabilities did report levels of stress and depression above the control groups in the studies or normative samples when available for comparison. The review also looked at the relationship between having a child with a severe disability and the parents' martial relationship. Little support was found in the articles reviewed for the hypothesis that having a child with a severe disability results in dysfunction in the marital relationship. The significance of social support, both informally and formally, was noted in several articles reviewed. The need for continued and additional support and intervention for families is discussed. Conclusions and recommendations for future research are presented as well as implications for mental health professionals and school practitioners working with families with children with severe disabilities.

description: Context. Recent observations of dust ejections from active asteroids, including (3200) Phaethon, have drawn considerable interest from planetary astronomers studying the generation and removal of small dust particles on asteroids. Aims. In this work, we aim to investigate the importance of thermal radiation pressure from asteroid regolith (AR) acting on small dust particles over the surface of the AR. In particular, we aim to understand the role of thermal radiation in the near-Sun environment. Methods. We describe the acceleration of particles over the AR within the radiation fields (direct solar, reflected (scattered) solar, and thermal radiation) in addition to the asteroid's rotation and gravitational field. Mie theory is used because the particles of interest have sizes comparable to thermal wavelengths (~1-100 μm), and thus the geometric approximation is not applicable. A new set of formalisms is developed for the purpose. Results. We find that the acceleration of particles with spherical radius < 1 μm to ~10 μm is dominated by the thermal radiation from the AR when the asteroid is in the near-Sun environment (heliocentric distance rh < 0.8 au). Under thermal radiation dominance, the net acceleration is towards space, that is, outwards from the AR. This outward acceleration is the strongest for particles of ~1 μm in radius, regardless of other parameters. A preliminary trajectory integration using the Phaethon-like model shows that such particles escape from the gravitational field within about 10 minutes. Our results are consistent with the previous observational studies on Phaethon in that the ejected dust particles have a spherical radius of ~1 μm.

description: Primordial magnetic fields can change the recombination history of the universe by inducing clumping in the baryon density at small scales. They were recently proposed as a candidate model to relieve the Hubble tension. We investigate the consistency of the constraints on a clumping factor parameter $b$ in a simplistic model, using the latest CMB data from Planck, ACT DR4 and SPT-3G 2018. For the combined CMB data alone, we find no evidence for clumping being different from zero, though when adding a prior on $H_0$ based on the latest distance-ladder analysis of the SH0ES team, we report a weak detection of $b$. Our analysis of simulated datasets shows that ACT DR4 has more constraining power with respect to SPT-3G 2018 due to the degeneracy breaking power of the TT band powers (not included in SPT). Simulations also suggest that the TE,EE power spectra of the two datasets should have the same constraining power. However, the ACT DR4 TE,EE constraint is tighter than expectations, while the SPT-3G 2018 one is looser. While this is compatible with statistical fluctuations, we explore systematic effects which may account for such deviations. Overall, the ACT results are only marginally consistent with Planck or SPT-3G, at the $2-3σ$ level within $Λ$CDM+$b$ and $Λ$CDM, while Planck and SPT-3G are in good agreement. Combining the CMB data together with BAO and SNIa provides an upper limit of b<0.4 at 95\% c.l. (b<0.5 without ACT). Adding a SH0ES-based prior on the Hubble constant gives $b = 0.31^{+0.11}_{-0.15}$ and $H_0=69.28 \pm 0.56$ km/s/Mpc ($b = 0.41^{+0.14}_{-018}$ and $H_0=69.70 \pm 0.63$ km/s/Mpc without ACT). Finally, we forecast constraints on $b$ for the full SPT-3G survey, Simons Observatory, and CMB-S4, finding improvements by factors of 1.5 (2.7 with Planck), 5.9 and 7.8, respectively, over Planck alone.

description: We explicitly compute up to the fifth mass-level the partition function of ten-dimensional pure spinor worldsheet variables including the spin dependence. After adding the contribution from the (x^μ, θ^α, p_α) matter variables, we reproduce the massive superstring spectrum. Even though pure spinor variables are bosonic, the pure spinor partition function contains fermionic states which first appear at the second mass-level. These fermionic states come from functions which are not globally defined in pure spinor space, and are related to the b ghost in the pure spinor formalism. This result clarifies the proper definition of the Hilbert space for pure spinor variables.

description: We present numerical results for the dynamics of a single chain in steady shear flow. The chain is represented by a bead-spring model, and the smoothed profile method is used to accurately account for the effects of thermal fluctuations and hydrodynamic interactions acting on beads due to host fluids. It is observed that the chain undergoes tumbling motions and that its dimensionless frequency F depends only on the Peclet number Pe with a power law. The exponent of Pe clearly changes from 2/3 to 1 around the critical Peclet number, indicating that the crossover reflects the competition of thermal fluctuation and shear flow. The presented numerical results agree well with our theoretical analysis based on Jeffery's work.

description: We report the first detection in interstellar space of the 3-cyano propargyl radical (CH2C3N). This species was observed in the cold dark cloud TMC-1 using the Yebes 40m telescope. A total of seven rotational transitions for both ortho- and para-CH2C3N species were observed in the 31.0-50.4 GHz range. We derive a total column density of (1.6 +/- 0.4)e11 cm-2 and an ortho/para ratio of 2.4 +/- 1.2, which implies an abundance ratio CH2C3N/CH3C3N around 0.1, in sharp contrast with the smaller analogues, in which case CH2CN/CH3CN = 3. This indicates that the chemistry of the cyanides CH2C3N and CH3C3N behaves differently to that of the smaller analogues CH2CN and CH3CN. According to our chemical model calculations, the radical CH2C3N is mostly formed through the neutral-neutral reactions C + CH2CHCN, C2 + CH3CN, and CN + CH2CCH together with the dissociative recombination of the CH3C3NH+ ion with electrons. The neutral-neutral reaction N + C4H3 could also lead to CH2C3N, although its role is highly uncertain. The identified radical CH2C3N could play a role in the synthesis of large organic N-bearing molecules, such as benzonitrile (c-C6H5CN) or nitrogen heterocycles.

description: We report the results of a successful 12 hour 22 GHz VLBI experiment using a heterogeneous network that includes radio telescopes of the Long Baseline Array (LBA) in Australia and several VLBI stations that regularly observe in geodetic VLBI campaigns. We have determined positions of three VLBI stations, ATCA-104, CEDUNA and MOPRA, with an accuracy of 4-30mm using a novel technique of data analysis. These stations have never before participated in geodetic experiments. We observed 105 radio sources, and amongst them 5 objects which have not previously been observed with VLBI. We have determined positions of these new sources with the accuracy of 2-5 mas. We make conclusion that the LBA network is capable of conducting absolute astrometry VLBI surveys with accuracy better than 5 mas.

description: We demonstrate that jet observables are highly sensitive to the characteristics of the vacuum and the in-medium QCD parton showers and propose techniques that exploit this sensitivity to constrain the mechanism of quark and gluon energy loss in strongly-interacting plasmas. As a first example, we calculate the inclusive jet cross section in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions to ${\cal O}(α_s^3)$. Theoretical predictions for the medium-induced jet broadening and the suppression of the jet production rate due to cold and hot nuclear matter effects in Au+Au and Cu+Cu reactions at RHIC are presented.

description: В статье рассматривается роль языка тела в психолингвистике, его влияние на когнитивные процессы и социальное взаимодействие. Невербальная коммуникация, включающая жесты, мимику и осанку, дополняет вербальные сообщения, играя важную роль в передаче эмоций и намерений. Особое внимание уделено взаимодействию вербальной и невербальной коммуникации, а также культурным различиям в восприятии языка тела. Исследуются когнитивные механизмы, которые участвуют в интерпретации невербальных сигналов, и их значение в межкультурной коммуникации.

description: SPARC is a novel Python-based tool designed to automate and streamline the statistical analysis of experimental results, enhancing efficiency and accessibility for researchers. This user-friendly tool supports a wide range of statistical tests, enabling rapid preliminary assessment and evaluation of data. It supports multi-group and multi-variable between-subject experimental setups and generates output using LATEX to aid the write-up process while including descriptive text, summary tables, and figures to visualise the data. In this paper, we present the key features of SPARC, showcase its application in experimental contexts, and discuss its potential to transform data-driven research across disciplines. Additionally, we want to encourage feedback from the HCI community and invite other researchers to contribute to SPARC’s open repository. By providing an efficient platform for statistical analysis, SPARC empowers researchers to focus on interpreting, applying, and publishing their findings, ultimately promoting robust scientific advancement.

description: Many families in our society have been created through adoption. In 1990, there were approximately 119,000 adoption placements in the United States (Flango & Flango, 1990). Over the past decade, the majority of adoptions were infants placed with White couples who ranged in age from 25 to 34 (Bachrach, Adams, Sambrano, & London, 1990).
title: An Experimental Analysis of the Two-String Problem
Creators: name: Henneman, Mary Ann
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The two-string problem (Maier, 1931) was used in an analysis of the contribution of experience in problem solving. In the two string problem subjects are shown two strings hanging from the ceiling and are instructed to tie the strings together. The strings are placed apart so that subjects are unable to grasp both strings simultaneously. The solution involves the use of items which are available in the vicinity of the strings. For example, a hammer can be used as a weight to make one string swing. The research comprised three separate experiments. The objective was to investigate environmental contributions, as opposed to invoking concepts such as "insight", to account for problem solving behaviors. The first experiment was an attempt to systematically replicate Maier's experiment. Twenty five college students solved the problem within the allotted time. The second experiment sought to identify a population of subjects who would fail to solve the problem upon first exposure so as to allow for differential experience to be provided. Many Children, 5-9 years old, failed to solve the problem. The final experiment investigated the contribution of a variety of antecedent experiences to subsequent problem solutions by the younger subjects. Prior to the test, subjects in this experiment were exposed to one of three conditions; string games, a demonstration of objects used in non-traditional ways or control. It was determined that under the conditions of this experiment most subjects solved the problem. Of those who did not solve the problem, treatment conditions were effective in providing the subjects with problem solutions. The findings were interpreted and discussed in relation to Epstein's (1985) generativity theory.
title: It's Good Business:  Regulation Models in the 1911 Closure of Butte Montanas Red Light District
Creators: name: Johnson, Anne Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: This work examines the regulation of prostitution in Butte, Montana during the 1910-1911. Butte, in particular, stands out in terms of researching how the regulation of prostitution worked to support the economic structure of a mining town in the American West because it offered a different response to Progressive Era regulation of red light districts during the early twentieth century. While there was an attempt to implement the eradication model of regulation sweeping the rest of the nation, Butte rejected this model in favor of tolerating prostitution's involvement in its mining culture and economic structure. Examining the social and economic reasons for Butte’s alternative model of regulation changes our understanding of the history of regulating prostitution in the American West. Instead of dismissing the role of prostitution in the West’s history, Butte’s pragmatic tolerance model of regulation respects the economic and social roles of prostitutes and the red light districts they occupied in the mining towns of the American West.
Spanning forests and the vector bundle Laplacian

description: The classical matrix-tree theorem relates the determinant of the combinatorial Laplacian on a graph to the number of spanning trees. We generalize this result to Laplacians on one- and two-dimensional vector bundles, giving a combinatorial interpretation of their determinants in terms of so-called cycle rooted spanning forests (CRSFs). We construct natural measures on CRSFs for which the edges form a determinantal process. This theory gives a natural generalization of the spanning tree process adapted to graphs embedded on surfaces. We give a number of other applications, for example, we compute the probability that a loop-erased random walk on a planar graph between two vertices on the outer boundary passes left of two given faces. This probability cannot be computed using the standard Laplacian alone.
