description: In 1993, the 2.1 million farms in the contiguous United States operated an average of 436 acres and produced an average of $73,700 in agricultural products, as measured by gross sales. Characteristics of individual farms--including their level of production--varied widely, however. Most production occurred on relatively few commercial farms. Commercial farms (sales of $50,000 or more) were only 27 percent of U.S. farms, but accounted for about 90 percent of sales. Households with noncommercial farms (sales less than $50,000) relied on off-farm sources for virtually all of their income. U.S. farms are diverse, and variation within the industry is hidden by U.S. averages.
When does coarsening occur in the dynamics of one-dimensional fronts ?

description: Dynamics of a one-dimensional growing front with an unstable straight profile are analyzed. We argue that a coarsening process occurs if and only if the period λof the steady state solution is an increasing function of its amplitude A. This statement is rigorously proved for two important classes of conserved and nonconserved models by investigating the phase diffusion equation of the steady pattern. We further provide clear numerical evidences for the growth equation of a stepped crystal surface.

description: Combinatorial enumeration leads to counting generating functions presenting a wide variety of analytic types. Properties of generating functions at singularities encode valuable information regarding asymptotic counting and limit probability distributions present in large random structures. ``Singularity analysis'' reviewed here provides constructive estimates that are applicable in several areas of combinatorics. It constitutes a complex-analytic Tauberian procedure by which combinatorial constructions and asymptotic--probabilistic laws can be systematically related.
PHENIX Direct Photons in 200 GeV p+p and Au+Au Collisions

description: We present the first positive direct photon results in Au+Au at sqrt{s_NN} = 200 GeV along with initial p+p results at the same energy. The p+p result is found to be consistent with NLO perturbative QCD predictions within its large uncertainties. In central Au+Au collisions, an excess over expected background as large as 200-300% is observed from p_T = 4-12 GeV/c. This large signal is shown to be consistent with the scaled pQCD photon prediction, together with suppression of meson background sources.

description: Walter Ling, MD, is Professor of Psychiatry and Founding Director of the Integrated Substance Abuse Programs (ISAP) at UCLA, one of the foremost substance abuse research groups in the United States and worldwide. He is board certified in neurology and psychiatry, is active in research and clinical work, and has been listed in "Best Doctors in America," "Best Doctors in the West," and "Best Doctors in Los Angeles." Dr. Ling's research in pharmacotherapy for opioid addiction provided pivotal information for the approval of levo-alpha acetyl methadol (LAAM), naltrexone, and buprenorphine. His research projects have included investigations of medications for the treatment of opioid, cocaine, methamphetamine, and cannabis use disorders, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, and treatment of pain in opioid-maintained patients. Dr. Ling has extended ISAP's research beyond the United States to Asia and the Middle East, and he has led or participated in international training efforts in 15 countries to advance addiction medicine and addiction research. As Principal Investigator of the Pacific Region Node of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Clinical Trial Network (CTN), Dr. Ling most recently completed a multi-site clinical trial using a medication combination of extended-release naltrexone with daily bupropion for the treatment of methamphetamine use disorders. This project used a novel stepped approach for and enhanced methods for confirming medication adherence including daily dosing videos captured with smartphones sent by study participants to the study team.

Slit Observations and Empirical Calculations for HII Regions

description: When analysing HII regions, a possible source of systematic error on empirically derived physical quantities is the limited size of the slit used for the observations. A grid of photoionization models was built through the Aangaba code varying the ionizing radiation spectrum emitted by a stellar cluster, as well as the gas abundance. The calculated line surface brightness was then used to simulate slit observations and to derive empirical parameters using the usual methods described in the literature. Depending on the fraction of the object covered by the slit, the parameters can be different from those obtained from observations of the whole object, an effect that is mainly dependent on the age of the ionizing stellar cluster. The low-ionization forbidden lines are more sensitive to the size of the area covered by the slit than the high-ionization forbidden lines or recombination lines. Regarding the temperature indicator T[OIII], the slit effects are small since this temperature is derived from [OIII] lines. On the other hand, for the abundance indicator R23, which depends also on the [OII] line, the slit effect is slightly higher. Therefore, the systematic error due to slit observations on the O abundance is low, being usually less than 10%, except for HII regions powered by stellar clusters with a relative low number of ionizing photons between 13.6 and 54.4 eV, which create a smaller O++ emitting volume. In this case, the systematic error on the empirical O abundance deduced from slit observations is more than 10% when the covered area is less than 50%.

description: Astronomical X-ray observatories with grazing incidence optics face the problem of pseudo-focusing of low energy protons from the mirrors towards the focal plane. Those protons constitute a variable, unpredictable component of the non X-ray background that strongly affects astronomical observations and a correct estimation of their flux at the focal plane is then essential. For this reason, we investigate how they are scattered from the mirror surfaces when impacting with grazing angles. We compare the non-elastic model of reflectivity of particles at grazing incidence proposed by Remizovich et al. (1980) with the few available experimental measurements of proton scattering from X-ray mirrors. We develop a semi-empirical analytical model based on the fit of those experimental data with the Remizovich solution. We conclude that the scattering probability weakly depends on the energy of the impinging protons and that the relative energy losses are necessary to correctly model the data. The model we propose assumes no dependence on the incident energy and can be implemented in particle transport simulation codes to generate, for instance, proton response matrices for specific X-ray missions. Further laboratory measurements at lower energies and on other mirror samples, such as ATHENA Silicon Pore Optics, will improve the resolution of the model and will allow us to build the proper proton response matrices for a wider sample of X-ray observatories.

description: Between 1980 and the mid-1990's, the earnings of American women and men became more equal. The narrowing of the earnings gap reflects a number of changes in women's life experiences (delayed marriage and childbearing, increased labor force participation, greater educational equity with men), as well as lower wages for men. This study presents a review and an appraisal of the advancement of women, especially nonmetropolitan women, during the 1980's and mid-1990's. High poverty rates among nonmetro women are cause for public policy concern. This report originated from a request to review the Draft Platform for Action for the Fourth U.N. World Conference on Women held in September 1995 in Beijing, China.

description: The Federal Medicare program provides subsidized health insurance for one in every seven Americans. Medicare covers a higher proportion of rural than urban residents because rural residents are more likely to be elderly or disabled persons entitled to benefits. The rapid growth of Medicare expenditures has prompted legislative proposals to control the increase in spending. This report finds that the proposals may have a greater effect on rural than urban communities due to the higher proportion of Medicare beneficiaries in rural areas.

description: Kenner C. Rice, PhD, is Chief, Drug Design and Synthesis Section at the NIH’s National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Senior Investigator and Branch Chief at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), and a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. Since joining the NIH in 1972, Dr. Rice has mentored more than 70 postdoctoral fellows from 20 countries, many of whom have gone on to prominent scientific positions in industry, government, and academia. He has authored or coauthored more than 600 published papers and has over 40 patents. Dr. Rice received his BS degree from the Virginia Military Institute in 1961. He then received his doctorate in organic chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1966, where he also conducted postdoctoral work. He conducted antimalarial research at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as an active duty member of the Army, and also was a senior scientist at Ciba-Geigy for three years, before joining the National Institute of Arthritis, Metabolism, and Digestive Diseases (now the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases) as a senior staff fellow in 1972. Dr. Rice moved to NIDA in 2006. Among Dr. Rice’s contributions spanning his long career are the development of the NIH Opiate Total Synthesis, which allows medical opiates to be produced synthetically in any quantity, offering opiate researchers independence from foreign sources of opium and providing insights for the development of new non-opioid drugs. Rice’s work also led to the discovery of an imaging agent for positron emission tomography (PET)— a medical imaging technique for study of biochemistry in living humans—that is now being used to study how opioid drugs work in the brain; and the development of medications that prevent cocaine self-administration in rhesus monkeys. These agents may be useful in treating cocaine and methamphetamine abuse in humans as well. Currently, no effective medication therapies exist for addiction to these stimulant drugs.

The authors ask why the UK National Curriculum in science almost entirely ignores them. Children and young people regularly come into contact with the language, concepts and implications of these theories through the media and through new technologies, and they are the basis of many contemporary scientific and technological developments. There is surely, therefore, an urgent need to include the concepts of '20th Century physics' within the curriculum.

description: Billy Martin, Ph.D., was chair of the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine’s Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the time of his death on June 9th, 2008. He was internationally renowned for his research in understanding addiction and drugs of abuse and how they affect the brain. Dr. Martin played a prominent role in developing the department’s reputation for landmark research in drugs of abuse. For more than 30 years, his primary focus was researching the effects of marijuana’s principal psychoactive ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. In the late 1970s, Martin was the first to show that most of the behavioral effects of marijuana were attributable to the compound THC, and his contributions to the study of cannabinoid receptors in the brain brought new life to what was once thought to be a dead-end field. In 1997, Martin was awarded a National Institutes of Health Method to Extend Research in Time (MERIT) Award for his work in understanding the effect of marijuana on the brain. Martin also was asked by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) to head an international program project grant on marijuana. Martin directed a team of prominent marijuana researchers from the United States and abroad in investigating anandamide, a naturally occurring marijuana-like substance in the brain. Martin served as director of VCU’s NIDA Center for Drug Abuse Research, which attracted more than $20 million in federal funding. In 1998, Martin was honored as a top contributor in science with a Virginia Top Scientist Award and received the VCU Distinguished Scholarship Award in 1996. He also was the first recipient of the Outstanding Inventor Award from the VCU Tech Transfer Office in recognition of his multiple patents based on his research. Martin was to receive the Nathan B. Eddy Award on June 15, the highest honor awarded by the College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD). He also was scheduled to receive the VCU Award for Excellence in the fall of 2008, the highest honor that VCU bestows on a faculty member.

Educational late effects among survivors of childhood cancer
Creators: name: McMillan, Amy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Increased survival rates of childhood cancer have meant a growing population of survivors within the education system. Although research suggests that survivors face educational difficulties, methodological shortcomings and lack of consensus have contributed to difficulties interpreting this literature. Moreover, there exists a paucity of literature objectively measuring survivors' educational outcomes, particularly achievement. In this population-based research, 782 survivors of childhood cancer from the BC cancer registry, and BC school system from 1995-2004, were age and gender-matched with a randomly selected control group of 8386 BC schoolchildren. Objective educational measures including Foundation Skills Assessments (FSAs), Provincial examinations, and special education designations from the BC Ministry of Education were compared between the survivor and control cohorts; potential disease-related risks among survivors were assessed. Survivors were significantly more likely than controls to have special education or physical disability designations and performed significantly more poorly on several FSAs. Notably, once survivors of central nervous system (CNS) tumours and leukemia were excluded from the analysis, there were no significant achievement differences. Survivors younger at diagnosis (<2 years) had higher educational achievement, despite having more hearing and visual impairments than survivors older at diagnosis ([Greater Than or Equal to] 5 years). Childhood cancer survivors appear at increased risk for special education utilization. In particular, survivors of leukemia and CNS tumours may be at increased risk for poor educational achievement and special education designations. It is important that potential adverse educational outcomes and associated risk factors be identified such that surveillance and appropriate interventions be provided to ensure survivors a successful educational experience.

description: In this paper we consider the power function of the classical F test for linear restrictions on the coefficients in a linear regression model with spherically symmetric disturbances when proxies are used in the place of unobservable regressors. We numerically evaluate the power function assuming multivariate Student-t (Mt) regression disturbances in a simple univariate regression model. Our results show the effects on the power function of the degrees of freedom of the Mt distribution and of the correlation between the omitted and the proxy variable.

description: We investigate how the transition from integrability to nonintegrability occurs by changing the parameters of the Hamiltonian of a Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain with defects. Randomly distributed defects may lead to quantum chaos. A similar behavior is obtained in the presence of a single defect out of the edges of the chain, suggesting that randomness is not the cause of chaos in these systems, but the mere presence of a defect.

We prove that if H_1 # H_2 comes from stabilizing a lower genus splitting of M_1 # M_2 then either H_1 or H_2 comes from stabilizing a lower genus splitting. If H_i and G_i are non-isotopic Heegaard surfaces in M_i, and H_i is unstabilized, then we show H_1 # H_2 is not isotopic to G_1 # G_2 in M_1 # M_2. The former result answers a question of C.

title: The primary structures and fabrics of the upper mantle and lower oceanic crust from ophiolite complexes
Creators: name: Bartholomew, Iain Douglas
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1984

description: The structures and textures of areas from the lower sequences of the Oman Ophiolite, the Troodos Ophiolite, Cyprus, and the Shetland Ophiolite have been studies in order to gain an understanding of the structural and kinematic history of the upper mantle and lowermost oceanic crust at accretionary margins. In all areas the mantle has similar petrological features. It is composed largely of harzburgite which is often compositionally banded into orthopyroxene-rich and olivine-rich segregation layers. Dunitic sheets and pods are common in some of the areas studied. They are highly variable in size and shape (up to 1 1/2km diameter in Troodos) and some contain concentrations of chromite ore. The mantle is strongly foliated in all areas, the foliations being defined by the alignment of chrome-spinel and orthopyroxene grains. The foliations cross-cut all the mantle petrological features except for a few late-stage dykes, and in some areas extend into the lowermost crustal cumulates. Lineations are sometimes measurable on the foliation planes. Emplacement of the different ophiolite sequences has caused only localised shearing and brittle faulting, these structures being clearly identifiable. from the primary, ocean-spreading related foliations. In some areas two primary foliations (S1 and S2) are measurable from the same outcrop. A detailed crystallographic and shape fabric analysis shows that they have,been formed by two different ductile shearing episodes. (D1 and D2). Both D1 and D2 are essentially simple shearing events. Individual olivine and orthopyroxene crystals deform by a combination of slip along discrete slip planes and by recrystallisation processes. In many specimens which have undergone D2 deformation, some olivine grains preserve a partially rotated relict D1 crystallographic orientation. Changes in the D2 shear sense form a shear folding pattern of the S1 planes. The shapes and orientations of the petrological features are strongly controlled by the intensity of D1 and D2 shearing. Both the D1 and D2 shearing events are the remnants of mantle asthenospheric flow at an oceanic spreading centre which have been fossilised into the lithospheric mantle at the asthenosphere-lithosphere boundary. This fossilisation occurs during the offaxis, dominantly horizontal, flow of the asthenosphere. A study of the orientations of the D1 and D2 shearing structures from the different areas shows that they have similar orientations within a single area but that their orientations are highly variable between areas. This can be related to the horizontal flow of mantle material away from diapiric uprise centres along a ridge-axis. The interaction between the diverging flow from an earlier diapiric centre (S1 planes) and those from a later centre (S2 planes) will cause the earlier flow lines to be deformed.

description: Two fundamental invariants attached to a projective variety are its classical algebraic degree and its Euclidean Distance degree (ED degree). In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of these two degrees of some Segre products and their dual varieties. We analyze the asymptotics of degrees of (hypercubical) hyperdeterminants, the dual hypersurfaces to Segre varieties. We offer an alternative viewpoint on the stabilization of the ED degree of some Segre varieties. Although this phenomenon was incidentally known from Friedland-Ottaviani's formula expressing the number of singular vector tuples of a general tensor, our approach provides a geometric explanation. Finally, we establish the stabilization of the degree of the dual variety of a Segre product $X\times Q_{n}$, where $X$ is a projective variety and $Q_n\subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ is a smooth quadric hypersurface.

description: We present near-IR imaging of a sample of the faint, hard X-ray sources discovered in the 2001 Chandra ACIS-I survey towards the Galactic Centre (GC) (Wang et al. 2002). These ~800 discrete sources represent an important and previously undetected population within the Galaxy. From our VLT observations of 77 X-ray sources, we identify candidate K-band counterparts to 75% of the Chandra sources in our sample. The near-IR magnitudes and colours of the majority of candidate counterparts are consistent with highly reddened stars, indicating that most of the Chandra sources are likely to be accreting binaries at or near the GC.

description: This paper considers regression models which are mis-specified through the omission of relevant regressors, and investigates some aspects of the power properties of the Goldfeld-Quandt test for homoscedasticity of the error variance in such cases. Attention focusses not on the full power function of the test, but on the locus of powers that emerges when, for a given departure from the null, different numbers of central observations are omitted in the construction of the test statistic. A well known rule of thumb regarding the optimal number of such observations is found to be questionable, whether the model is mis-specified or not. The form of the regressor data, and the sample size, are found to be important in governing these features of the test.

description: With purpose to investigate influence of magnetically non-active metal layers on the Faraday effect in multilayer Ferromagnetic/Normal metal films, dependences of the Faraday rotation angles of the light polarization plane on magnetic field have been studied in multilayer [Co/Cu] nanofilms. It was revealed that the Faraday rotation varies with thickness of the Cu layers. This dependence of the Faraday rotation on the Cu layer thickness consists of the monotonic component, namely a gradual rise of the angle with increase of the Cu layer thickness, and the non-monotonic one represented by two minima. The monotonic changes of the Faraday rotation were satisfactory described in frames of the effective medium method. Two minima are explained with the Co layers fragmentation due to influence of size electron quantization in the Cu layers on formation of Co clusters during deposition of the films.

description: The long wavelength diffusion coefficient of a critical fluid confined between two parallel plates separated by a distance L is strongly affected by the finite size. Finite size scaling leads us to expect that the vanishing of the diffusion coefficient as ξ^{-1} for ξ<>L. We show that this is not strictlytrue. There is a logarthmic scaling violation. We construct a Kawasaki like scaling function that connects the thermodynamic regime to the extreme critical (ξ>>L) regime.

description: We prove the achronal averaged null energy condition for general quantum field theories in the near horizon geometry of spherical extremal black holes (i.e. ${{\rm AdS}_2\times S^{d-2}}$), de Sitter and anti-de Sitter. The derivation follows from monotonicity of relative entropy after computing the modular hamiltonian of a null deformed region. For incomplete (but maximally extended) achronal null geodesics in ${\rm AdS}_2\times S^{d-2}$, we prove the positivity of a different light-ray operator for arbitrary CFTs. This agrees with a constraint recently derived for the Lorentzian cylinder.

Chiral Compactification on a Square

description: We study quantum field theory in six dimensions with two of them compactified on a square. A simple boundary condition is the identification of two pairs of adjacent sides of the square such that the values of a field at two identified points differ by an arbitrary phase. This allows a chiral fermion content for the four-dimensional theory obtained after integrating over the square. We find that nontrivial solutions for the field equations exist only when the phase is a multiple of π/2, so that this compactification turns out to be equivalent to a T^2/Z_4 orbifold associated with toroidal boundary conditions that are either periodic or anti-periodic. The equality of the Lagrangian densities at the identified points in conjunction with six-dimensional Lorentz invariance leads to an exact Z_8\times Z_2 symmetry, where the Z_2 parity ensures the stability of the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle.
