description: The localization length has been derived for one-dimensional bi-layered structures with random perturbations in the refractive indices for each type of layers. Main attention is paid to the comparison between conventional materials and those consisting of mixed right-hand and left-hand materials. It is shown that the localization length is described by the universal expression for both cases. The analytical results are confirmed by numerical simulations.

title: An Implementation Study of Nonsecure Residential Juvenile Sex Offender Programs in Utah
Creators: name: Miller, Katrina Holgate
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: An inventory, the Juvenile Sex Offender Program Provider Implementation Tool (JSSOPIT), was constructed from guidelines stipulated by the Network on Juveniles Offending Sexually (NOJOS), Medicaid, and the Utah Department of Human Services. Seven nonsecure residential programs for juvenile sex offenders in Utah were evaluated with the JSSOPPIT for implementation in six areas: (a) target population, (b) intake criteria and procedures, (c) treatment constellation, (d) supervision, (e) aftercare, and (f) staff qualifications and training. Favorable implementation was found in several areas, including an appropriate risk level in the target population ; youths' understanding of treatment goals, treatment regimen, and physical environment; and availability of continuum of care. Unfavorable implementation was found in the area of intake criteria , treatment goal coverage, and tracking recidivism. Results are discussed in terms of the group and individual programs.

description: We consider K_l2 decays to the order O(α). We perform a matching calculation, using a specific model with vector meson dominance in the long distance part and the parton model in the short distance part. By considering the dependence on the matching scale and the hadronic parameters, and by comparing with the leading model independent predictions, we scrutinize the model dependence of the results.
Longitudinal flow between cylinders in square and triangular arrays
Creators: name: Galloway, Leslie Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Friction factors have been determined experimentally for longitudinal flow of water and various aqueous solutions of polyethylene glycol between regular enclosed arrays of cylinders. Two different geometries were investigated: a 4 × 4 square array enclosed by a square duct and a 19-rod equilateral triangular array enclosed by a hexagonal duct. Four different pitch-to-diameter ratios were studied in each geometry. These covered a range of 1.07 to 2.00 in the square array and 1.11 to 2.06 in the triangular array. No spacers were used in the rod bundle. The Reynolds number range investigated was approximately 2.5 to 40,000 (equivalent diameter based on total wetted perimeter). The fully developed friction factors for all eight arrays were correlated by the Nikuradse equation for smooth round tubes when the Reynolds number exceeded 10,000 and when the equivalent diameter, used in both the Reynolds number and the friction factor, was taken as four times the hydraulic raduis based on total wetted perimeter. In laminar flow no equivalent diameter was found that would consolidate the results of all eight arrays. Deviations from the laminar flow theory of Sparrow and Loeffler for infinite arrays could be consistently accounted for by the wall effect in the present study. The critical Reynolds number for each array ranged between 90 and 450 (equivalent diameter based on total perimeter) and the transition from laminar to turbulent flow appeared to extend over a large Reynolds number range. Friction factors in both laminar and turbulent flow were apparently established in a very short distance from the entrance to the rod bundle, since no entrance effect was detected, even as close as 9.6 total equivalent diameters from the entrance. Local friction factors were also measured in the entrance and fully developed region of a round smooth tube with a sharp-edged entrance. The Reynolds number range covered was 394 to 77,000. The inside tube diameter, determined by forcing the fully developed laminar flow friction factors to fit Poiseuille's equation, was in excellent agreement with the measured diameter, and the fully developed turbulent flow friction factor results, based on the computed diameter, were in good agreement with Nikuradse's equation for a smooth round tube. The Newtonian behavior of the polyethylene glycol solutions over all rates of shear encountered in the present study was thus established. Good agreement was also obtained between the local laminar flow friction factors, measured in the entrance region of the tube, and those predicted theoretically by Langhaar for a rounded entrance. In turbulent flow, the friction factor became fully developed within 50 tube diameters of the entrance.

description: It is important to investigate the factors contributing to continued use of methamphetamines (METH) considering the recent rise in psychostimulant deaths in the United States and health risks. While previous research has characterized specific responses to METH, such as increases in blood pressure and elevated mood, the current study aims to implement a multi-dimensional approach assessing behavioral reward related task responses, subjective questionnaire responses, and physiological blood pressure reads to understand the neurochemical basis of METH administration (20mg) in 51 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 35. We examined correlations comparing these three measures predicting the drug responses to be related to distinct underlying processes, dopaminergic and noradrenergic respectively. We found upon METH administration, participants experienced positive subjective responses, increased cardiovascular activity, and alterations in cognitive processes inducing a greater willingness to exert effort for reward. Our hypothesis was partially supported with marginally positive associations between subjective ratings and task-related responses. There were inconsistencies in the relationship between subjective ratings and blood pressure reads, with one questionnaire (Drug Effects Questionnaire), demonstrating a positive association, and another (euphoric measure) failing to demonstrate a relationship. Surprisingly, the behavioral reward-related task and blood pressure reads demonstrated a positive association. Based on these results, we conclude that the underlying processes associated with METH responses in drug taking behavior are not dissociable.

description: It is shown that the interference between  pp ̅->J/Ψ e^+e^- and pp ̅->e^+e^- can be measured with good accurancy at Fermilab. Therefore the phase of the strong decay amplitude of the J/Ψ with respect to the proton magnetic form factor will be obtained. There are hints, from J/Ψ->nn ̅ and other J/Ψ decays, of an unexpected ~90° phase.
On the Fraction of Star Clusters Surviving the Embedded Phase

description: In this paper we derive ages and masses for 276 clusters in the merger galaxy NGC 3256. This was achieved by taking accurate photometry in four wavebands from archival HST images. Photometric measurements are compared to synthetic stellar population (SSP) models to find the most probable age, mass and extinction. The cluster population of NGC 3256 reveals an increase in the star formation rate over the last 100 million years and the initial cluster mass function (ICMF) is best described by a power law relation with slope $α= 1.85 \pm 0.12$. Using the observed cluster population for NGC 3256 we calculate the implied mass of clusters younger than 10 million years old, and convert this to a cluster formation rate over the last 10 million years. Comparison of this value with the star formation rate (SFR) indicates the fraction of stars found within bound clusters after the embedded phase of cluster formation, $Γ$, is $22.9% \pm^{7.3}_{9.8} $ for NGC 3256. We carried out an in-depth analysis into the errors associated with such calculations showing that errors introduced by the SSP fitting must be taken into account and an unconstrained metallicity adds to these uncertainties. Observational biases should also be considered. Using published cluster population data sets we calculate $Γ$ for six other galaxies and examine how $Γ$ varies with environment. We show that $Γ$ increases with the star formation rate density and can be described as a power law type relation of the form $Γ(%) = (29.0\pm{6.0}) Σ_{SFR}^{0.24\pm0.04} (\msol yr^{-1} kpc^{-2})$.

description: Interkulturelles Lernen ergibt sich nicht allein aus der multinationalen Zusammensetzung einer Schulklasse. Es bedarf eines Bewusstseins über unterschiedliche Wahrnehmungsmuster, die oft subtiler sind, als es einfache nationale Klassifizierungen vermuten lassen. Für diese Wahrnehmungsmuster, die sowohl aus kultureller Prägung als auch aus gemeinsamen Sozialisationserfahrungen (zum Beispiel in der Schule) entstehen, gilt es bewusst zu sensibilisieren. Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, wie der Deutschunterricht mit interkultureller Sprachdidaktik Heterogenität als positiven Faktor für das sprachliche Lerngeschehen nutzen kann und den Erwerb interkultureller Kompetenzen ermöglicht. Die Szenariendidaktik, die dafür Wege eröffnet, steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrages. Aus den hier skizzierten Parametern und Aufgaben ergeben sich nicht nur neue, motivierende Lernwege für die Schüler, sondern auch neue, spannende Anforderungen an die Lehrer im Hinblick auf ihre Rolle und ihr Lehrverständnis.
title: Language, Play, and Toy Sharing in Infancy

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: Toy sharing between 97 Infants and their mothers was used to measure shared reference, mother and infant attention-directing strategies, and maternal and infant responsiveness. The association of toy sharing with early language and symbolic play was assessed. Infants were videotaped in a 10-minute free-play session at 11 months. Videotapes were coded for frequency of toy exchanges and level of infant symbolic play. Language was assessed at both 11 and 14 months. Maternal responsiveness to infant-initiated toy exchanges was positively related to symbolic play at 11 months. Maternal responsiveness was also related to Productive, Receptive, and Total Language scores at 14 months. Symbolic play at 11 months and language at 11 and 14 months were associated, suggesting underlying cognitive abilities associated with language and play development. Results support the notion that shared reference, maternal responsiveness, and underlying infant cognitive abilities are important components of a context where scaffolding of language and symbolic play can occur.

description: Im Beitrag wird die Position vertreten, dass jeder Unterricht Sprachunterricht ist. Die sprachliche Förderung von Schülerinnen und Schülern mit Zweitsprache Deutsch ist daher Aufgabe aller Fachlehrkräfte. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Kompetenzen zur Bewältigung dieser Aufgabe in einem fächerübergreifenden Ausbildungssegment Deutsch als Zweitsprache in der Erstausbildung für Lehrer vermittelt werden sollten. Dabei wird auf drei zentrale Kompetenzbereiche fokussiert: Berücksichtigung und Unterstützung lernersprachlicher Entwicklungsprozesse; Förderung bildungssprachlicher Kompetenzen als Basis fachlichen Lernens; Reflexion schulsprachlicher Normalitätserwartungen vor dem Hintergrund von Spracherwerbsbiographien mehrsprachiger Schülerinnen und Schülern. Zudem sind elementare linguistische Kenntnisse als unverzichtbares Handwerkszeug für professionelles Handeln in den umrissenen Kompetenzbereichen vorauszusetzen.

description: An new concept to get high current pulses by transmission lines has been developed. Utilizing two 50 W transmission lines and a fast transistor to switch on the circuit, a rectangular current pulse without the reduction to a half of its intensity has been obtained. 8 m long transmission lines were charged up to 1 kV. They yielded a current pulse of 20 A, 500 V of maximum voltage. Similar set up opens applications in the field of high current short pulse generators.

description: This research explored the association between positive employment outcome (getting a job above poverty wage) and several intake variables for women in transition. The variables (self-esteem, anxiety and/or depression, pretreatment change, family functioning, community/social support, and counseling and assertiveness classes) were identified from the literature for their probable association with positive employment outcome. The intervention of taking an assertiveness class was statistically associated with positive employment outcome. The other variables appear to be linked to positive employment outcome in the direction hypothesized, although none of them reached statistical significance.
The demographic variables of family size and employment status at intake were significantly associated with positive employment outcome. A discriminant analysis indicated that women with larger family size and greater self-esteem who are unemployed and take an assertiveness class were more likely to experience positive employment outcome.
“The Doors of Immorality Were Set Wide Open by State Authority”: Violence Against Indigenous Women in the Jacksonian Southeast, 1830-1840
Creators: name: Iati, Noelle Marie
Publisher: name: Essays in History
Year: 2022

description: This paper looks at the role of sexual violence in the removal of Native nations in what is now the American Southeast during the nineteenth century. I contend that gender violence played a pivotal role in Indian removal and that local, state, and federal governments all actively deployed sexual assault and other forms of gendered terror as methods of removing Indigenous peoples to reservations in Oklahoma. Removal, enabled by sexual violence, opened Indigenous lands to settlement and resource exploitation for the purpose of acquiring wealth and power for both individuals and the state itself. Through the lens of critical Indigenous feminist studies and utilizing the theories of Indigenous woman scholars, I have made connections between historical violence and the current crisis of violence against Indigenous women, girls, queer, trans, and two spirit people, and, in particular, their abduction and murder, colloquially known as MMIWGQ2ST. While my research is oftentimes quite dark, I highlight the survivance of Indigenous women and girls and the hope on the horizon for decolonization, justice, and healing.

description: Children who develop more prosocial behaviors tend to be more competent socially than those children who develop fewer prosocial behaviors. Group games are especially effective in the facilitation of prosocial behaviors. This study compared the number of prosocial or positive behaviors and negative behaviors displayed during cooperatively and competitively structured game treatments using the Observational Checklist and the Teacher Checklist. We controlled for possible differences in teacher nuturance through the Caregiver Interaction Scale. Participants included 20 boys and 19 girls (mean age = 4 years 7.3 months) enrolled in one of two classes at Utah State University s Adele and Dale Young Child Development Lab.
There were no statistically significant effects of treatment found according to The Teacher Checklist; however, statistically significant differences in positive and negative behaviors were found on The Observational Checklist across treatment conditions. Specifically, after cooperative games, positive behaviors were higher than expected while negative behaviors were lower than expected. During competitive games, positive behaviors were lower than expected and negative behaviors were higher than expected. When the two factors on The Teacher Checklist, Aggression and Immaturity, were analyzed, no statistically significant relationships were found.
title: A Replication and Validation Study of Methods for Calculating Self-Conception Disparity

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Self-esteem has been defined by James as a ratio of one's successes to one's pretensions. There are two formulas which have been utilized to calculate self-conception disparity. These formulas are the subtraction-absolute value formula and the ratio formula, which was derived from James. Stuart compared and contrasted these two formulas utilized to calculate self-conception disparity. The purpose of this study was to replicate the work of Stuart, utilizing the same construct scales and statistical methodology, adding to the Moos Family Environment Scale, and taking into account the age and gender of the respondent. The results of this study indicate, as the two formulas are compared, there isa difference in the amount of variance accounted for when the age and gender of the subject are taken into consideration.
Two of the concerns that have been identified as a result of this study are 1) in relationship to the construct-related scales which were utilized int his study, are the two disparity formulas measuring the females and in each age group?; and 2) why did age and gender have such an impact on the amount of variance accounted for between the two formulas for calculating self-conception disparity?
Two component fluidization.
Creators: name: LeClair, Brian Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Studies were made of the distribution of components, when two materials are fluidized in a liquid. The hypothesis tested was that the distribution of material is a function of the bulk density difference of the component beds. The component bed having the greatest bulk density will occupy the bottom of the total bed. It is possible for the bulk density of one material to be greater than the other at low velocities, and less than the other at high velocities. At some intermediate condition the bulk density difference between the two beds must be zero. This situation, called the inversion point, produces homogeneous mixing of the two components. Mixtures of two materials for which an inversion was predicted by the stated hypothesis were tested. In the intermediate and turbulent flow regions inversions did not occur because macroscopic mixing destroyed the bulk density gradients being established. However, in the laminar flow region, where mixing was negligible, inversions did occur. The quality of the inversion was affected as follows. For a sharp clear inversion of the two materials at the predicted velocity, the diameter ratio of the two groups of particles must be much greater than one and the density ratio (corrected for buoyancy) of the two groups of particles must be much less than one. Also of importance is the absolute density (corrected for buoyancy) of the particles. Particle size distribution also appeared to strongly affect the quality of the inversion. These distributions set up balk density gradients within the single component beds. This appeared to cause mixing of the two components and in some cases even formation of the two inverted beds before the predicted inversion velocity was reached. The prediction of the bed expansion of mixtures was also studied. A correlation was developed on the assumption that each component of the mixture could be treated separately. The overall expansion thus would be the sum of the expansions of the individual components. There was very good agreement between values predicted by this method and experimental data. The method predicted expansion well for all degrees of mixing of the two components, but did not predict well when one of the components was near its minimum porosity for fluidization. The empirical equations of Richardson and Zaki (4) for single component liquid fluidization expansions were checked. The values of the index "n" Obtained from experimental data agreed within ± 5% of those calculated using the correlations. The equation developed by Richardson and Zaki for determining the free settling velocity of a single particle from extrapolated expansion data gave results which were within ± 15% of those obtained using the standard drag coefficient-Reynolds number plot for an isolated sphere.

description: We study the disk emission component hidden in the single-peaked Broad Emission Lines (BELs) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We compare the observed broad lines from a sample of 90 Seyfert 1 spectra taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with simulated line profiles. We consider a two-component Broad Line Region (BLR) model where an accretion disk and a surrounding non-disk region with isotropic cloud velocities generate the simulated BEL profiles. The analysis is mainly based in measurements of the full widths (at 10%, 20% and 30% of the maximum intensity) and of the asymmetries of the line profiles. Comparing these parameters for the simulated and observed H$α$ broad lines, we {found} that the hidden disk emission {may} be present in BELs even if the characteristic {of two peaked line profiles is} absent. For the available sample of objects (Seyfert 1 galaxies with single-peaked BELs), our study indicates that, {in the case of the hidden disk emission in single peaked broad line profiles}, the disk inclination tends to be small (mostly $i<25^\circ$) and that the contribution of the disk emission to the total flux should be smaller than the contribution of the surrounding region.

description: Alterations in HPA-axis and autonomic nervous system activity have been associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) development and maintenance and are potentially associated with trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) outcomes. We examined the role of salivary cortisol (sCort) and alpha-amylase (sAA) in PTSD and TF-CBT outcomes in German Armed Forces service members (N = 100). Participants categorized as PTSD patients (n = 39), previously deployed healthy controls (n = 33), and nondeployed healthy controls (n = 28) provided diurnal profiles of sCort and sAA; PTSD patients provided samples before, immediately after, and 3 months after an internet-based TF-CBT intervention. No group differences emerged regarding total daily sCort and sAA output or daily slopes, ps = .224–.897, fs = 0.05–0.24. Participants with PTSD demonstrated a significantly attenuated sCort awakening response compared to deployed, p = .021, d = 0.59, but not nondeployed controls, p = .918, d = 0.08. Moreover, a significantly steeper sAA awakening response emerged in PTSD patients, p = .034, d = 0.67, and deployed controls, p = .014, d = 0.80, compared to nondeployed controls. From pretreatment to posttreatment (n = 21) and posttreatment to follow-up (n = 14), stable sCort, ps = .282–.628, fs = 0.34–0.49, and sAA concentrations, ps = .068–.758, fs = 0.24–1.13 paralleled a nonsignificant treatment effect. Both PTSD and trauma exposure were associated with alterations in awakening responses, but further investigation is needed to determine whether the observed correspondence remains when PTSD symptoms significantly decline.

Year: 1993

description: Young children's perceptions of their parents have been shown to affect responses to parents, and to be relevant in personality development and self-esteem. Typically, research examining children's perceptions of their parents focused on children from intact families. Yet, with the frequent occurrence of divorce in our society, and the trauma and lifestyle changes often associated with marital dissolution, it is possible that children's perceptions of their parents may also change.
This study compared two groups of preschool children's perceptions of their parents. Forty - two children (23 males, 19 females) came from two parent, first marriage families. Thirty-two children (16 males, 16 females) were from divorced single parent households.
Children were visited in their homes and asked to respond to nine questions in the areas of parental relationships, mother role, and father role. Children's responses were coded, using a 17-category coding scheme.
Factor analyses reflected children's perceptions of both traditional and nontraditional parental roles. The developmental level of the children and marital status of parents had the most influence on the children's perceptions of parental relationships. Children from the married sample viewed father's role in a more contemporary and diverse way in comparison to the single sample. Both samples (married and divorced) viewed mother in similar traditional roles. Results can be interpreted in the context of family lifestyles and symbolic interaction theory.

title: Time Allocations of Children in Single-Parent Urban Utah Families to Selected Household Tasks
Creators: name: Kingsford, Susan Wilde
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1991

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate how selected factors are related to the time children in single parent families spend in the household tasks of meal preparation; dishwashing; shopping; housecleaning; maintenance of home, yard, car and pets and nonphysical care of family members.
The data for this study were collected from 89 female headed single-parent/ two-child households in the greater metropolitan Salt Lake City 1Utah area. Time use data were collected for mothers and their children between the ages of 6 and 17. There were 178 children in the 89 families , of which 150 were in the specified age range.
It was not possible to select a random sample for this study. Thus, to reflect a random sample of singleparent/ two-child urban Utah households, data were weighted using standard weighting procedures and 1980 census figures.
Two instruments were used to collect data from respondents, a time diary and a questionnaire. Research that has examined children in single-parent households has compared their time allocations to those of children in two-parent households. There has been no research that has specifically examined variations in the time spent by children in single-parent families that could be related to their household work.
Multiple regression was used to analyze the relationship between a child's age, gender, birth order, gender of sibling, mother's time in paid work and school attendance, household income, season of the year, household equipment and certain household conditions with the amount of time children of single-parent families spent in the six selected household tasks.
This study found that children of single-parent families spent varying amounts of time on household tasks depending on the task, age of the child, gender of the child, gender of the sibling, mother's time in paid work and school attendance, household income, season of the year, household equipment and certain household conditions.

description: Sprachenlernen ist seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr nur Aufgabe von Kindern, Jugendlichen und Studierenden; im Rahmen der beobachtbaren Flexibilisierung von Berufs- und Lebensverläufen – und nicht zuletzt in der demografisch konstatierten „alternden Gesellschaft“ werden fremde Sprachen vermehrt auch im Laufe des gesamten Erwachsenenalters gelernt. Zudem lernen Menschen auch nach der Phase der Berufstätigkeit im höheren Alter fremde Sprachen: Die Gründe hierfür sind vielfältig, meist jedoch sind es Reiseaktivitäten oder der Anspruch sinnvoller Freizeitgestaltung. Je fortgeschrittener das Alter des Sprachenlernenden, umso vielfältiger und auch wichtiger sind die Vorerfahrungen, die der Lerner im Laufe seines Lebens gesammelt bzw. nicht gesammelt hat. Sie bestimmen – neben Modifikationen in der Informationsverarbeitung – den Lernprozess wesentlich mit. Insofern ist es wichtig, als Lehrender in den entsprechenden Kontexten nicht nur über die einerseits individuellen (Sprachlern-)Biografien, sondern auch über die generationen- bzw. kohortenspezifischen Bildungskonditionen von Lerngruppen informiert zu sein. Hierfür bietet Fred Karls Einführung in die Generationen- und Altenarbeit eine sehr informative und auch für Nicht-Altersforscher gut lesbare Grundlage.
title: Family Naming Practices and Intergenerational Kinship Affiliations

description: The study of naming practices has captured the interest of researchers in a variety of related disciplines. Studies of names and naming have led to a body of literature suggesting that naming practices are infused with meaning and reflect emotional ties between family members.
This study examined four research hypotheses related to family naming practices in an intergenerational sample of Mormon women. Ninety women f rom three generations of 30 families participated in the study. Through telephone interviews, each woman completed a survey designed to gather information about sources of children's names, kinship affiliations, and religiosity.
The information gathered from the surveys was analyzed using three statistical analyses : descriptive statistics, the chi square test of significance , and multiple regression. Data analyses indicated that there were no significant differences in naming practices in this group and that naming practices were similar across generations. Analyses of the relationship between family closeness and naming indicated that there was no significant relationship between closeness to the family of origin and naming for family members. However, closeness to the family of procreation was found to be inversely related to naming for relatives. Both of the religiosity items --level of church activity and frequency of church attendance for both husbands and wives--were found to be inversely related to naming children for relatives.
Further data analyses revealed that child gender was the factor that contributed most heavily to whether or not children were named for relatives .

description: Ovarian cancer is one of the most challenging diseases in gynecologic oncology. The presentation of frequent recurrences requires the establishment and further development of therapy standards for this patient group. Surgery is crucial in the therapy of patients with primary ovarian cancer, and the postoperative residual tumor mass is the most relevant clinical prognostic factor. The surgical management of recurrent disease is still subject to an emotional international discussion. Only a few prospective clinical trials focused on the effects of surgery in relapsed ovarian cancer have been published. The available data show improvements in the prognosis due to complete cytoreduction in the setting of recurrence. However, the selection of eligible patients is the essential issue. Therefore, the establishment of reliable predictive factors for complete tumor resection as well as a definition of the group of patients who might profit from this approach remains a field for research. Further randomized trials designed to develop and incorporate operative standards for recurrent ovarian cancer should follow.

description: The scenario of heavy quark meson spectroscopy underwent recently a major revolution, after the observation of BABAR and CLEO, confirmed by BELLE, of D_sJ L=1 excited states, and by further evidences by SELEX. These experimental results have cast doubts on the incarnations of the ideas of Heavy Quark Effective Theory in heavy quark spectroscopy. I shall review the status of  experimental data,  discuss implications and sketch an outlook.

description: The primary purpose of the Fermilab Recycler Ring Transverse Digital Damper System is to prevent instabilities due to high phase space densities of the cooled antiproton beam. The system was designed to facilitate Beam Transfer Function measurements using a signal analyzer connected to auxiliary system ports for timing and diagnostic purposes. The Digital Damper System has the capability for both open and closed loop measurements. The Beam Transfer Function provides direct measurement of the machine impedance, and beam and lattice parameters such as betatron tune and chromaticity. An overview of the technique is presented along with analysis and results from open and closed loop measurements in the Fermilab Recycler Ring.

description: Background: The unmonitored use of complementary medicine in patients with cancer can be associated with an increased risk of safety-related issues, such as lower adherence to conventional cancer therapies. Training oncology physicians to advise their patients about the effectiveness and safety of these therapies could improve this situation. Methods: The objective of this study was to develop and pretest a consultation framework that has high potential to be widely implemented. The framework comprises: 1) a systematically developed and tested, manualized, guided consultation; and 2) blended learning training (e-learning and communication skills training workshop) to upskill oncology physicians in advising their patients on complementary and integrative medicine (CIM). For this implementation study, mixed methods were used to develop the manual (literature review, consensus procedure, pilot testing) and the training (questionnaires and interviews with oncology physicians and patients with cancer and an examination of the skills in a setting with standardized patients). Results: The training was tested with 47 oncology physicians from across Germany. The manual-guided consultation (context: general information on the setting and communication techniques; inform: consultation duration and content; capture: previous CIM use; prioritize: focus on consultation; advise: evidence-based CIM recommendations; discuss, advise, accept, or advise against other CIM; concretize advice: summary and implementation; and monitor: documentation) was considered suitable. The structure and time frame (maximum, 20 minutes) of the consultation as well as the training were feasible and well accepted. Conclusions: The current study demonstrates that the KOKON-KTO framework (a German acronym for Competence Network for Complementary Medicine - Consultation Training for Oncology Physicians) is suitable for training oncology physicians. Its implementation can lead to better physician-patient communication about CIM in cancer.

description: Dieser Beitrag möchte einen vergleichenden Einblick in die Wahrnehmungen und Einstellungen 13- bis 15-jähriger deutscher Schüler gegenüber Großbritannien vor und nach einer schulischen Exkursion geben. Eine quantitative Studie mit der Stichprobengröße n = 79 wurde 2007 und 2008 an zwei Gymnasien durchgeführt und erbrachte die folgenden Ergebnisse: Die Schüler haben bereits vor ihrer Reise einen großen Wissensumfang über Großbritannien sowie ein lebendiges und reichhaltiges Landesbild. Die Reise selbst führt zu stärker affektiv beeinflussten Bildern und Perzeptionen Großbritanniens und der Briten sowie zu einem Abbau von Stereotypen in einer Gruppe und zu ihrem Ausbau in der anderen. Zusammenfassend schätzen sowohl Schüler als auch Lehrer die Exkursion als erfolgreich in Hinblick auf erweiterte kulturelle Kenntnisse, erhöhte sprachliche Motivation und wachsendes Interesse ein.

description: The purpose of this study is to provide a descriptive evaluation of Jordan School District's riskline as a step toward assessing the effectiveness of education - sponsored suicide risklines. The riskline received over 1000 calls from mid 1988 to mid 1989 for a variety o f problem areas. Demographics and risk assessment f or the c alls relating to suicide are presented and evaluated . The findings indicate that risk assessment is independent of all variables considered except the age of the counselor and the grade o f the caller . The number of calls is independent of every variable considered except the grade level of the caller, the sex of t he caller, and the person in whose behalf the caller is calling. Approximately 59% of the calls with the grade recorded came from people beyond high school age, 75% of the calls came from females, and 55% of the calls came from people stating that they were calling for someone other than themselves.
Risk assessment was found to be related to the age of the counselor and the grade of the caller with the call s assessed as "high risk" coming from those beyond high school age and assessed by older counselors. The number of calls was found to be related to the grade and sex of the caller, as well as the person in whose behalf the caller was calling. Higher numbers of calls came from those beyond high school age, from females, and from people stating that they were calling in behalf of someone other than themselves.
