description: We report the discovery of diffuse far-infrared and far-ultraviolet emission projected near the interacting pair NGC4435/4438, in the Virgo cluster. This feature spatially coincides with a well known low surface-brightness optical plume, usually interpreted as tidal debris. If extragalactic, this stream would represent not only one of the clearest examples of intracluster dust, but also a rare case of intracluster molecular hydrogen and large-scale intracluster star formation. However, the ultraviolet, far-infrared, HI and CO emission as well as the dynamics of this feature are extremely unusual for tidal streams but are typical of Galactic cirrus clouds. In support to the cirrus scenario, we show that a strong spatial correlation between far-infrared and far-ultraviolet cirrus emission is observed across the center of the Virgo cluster, over a scale of several degrees. This study demonstrates how dramatic Galactic cirrus contamination can be, even at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths and at high galactic latitudes. If ignored, the presence of diffuse light scattered by Galactic dust clouds could significantly bias our interpretation of low surface-brightness features and diffuse light observed around galaxies and in clusters of galaxies.

Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of adsorbed species
Creators: name: Pelman, Alan Irwin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Electron paramagnetic resonance techniques have been used to investigate the nature and possible effects of adsorption of gaseous species on several adsorbents, in particular several synthetic zeolites, at temperatures from 77°K upwards. Analysis of the spectra obtained has been aided through computer simulation of the various spectra and comparison of these to the actual observed spectra. The molecule chlorine dioxide ( C10₂ ) has been studied in various low temperature matrices but little has been published for C10₂ in the adsorbed state. An attempt was made to find an adsorbent such that an inert matrix might be approximated, to give a base from which to make comparisons. To this end, adsorbents including silica gel, synthetic zeolites 13X, 10X, 4A, 5A, Na-mordenite and H-mordenite were investigated. The results vary between those from silica gel, where spectra yielding EPR parameters similar to other matrices were obtained, to those from 13X where it was evident that two distinct adsorption sites of the C10₂ were present. In the 13X as in the other synthetic zeolites, EPR parameters markedly different from other studies were found and were attributed to the intense electrostatic fields present in these zeolites. Results obtained at room temperature for these adsorbents ranged from C10₂ molecules freely rotating in the cages of the zeolites to other molecules having hindered rotations. Nitrogen dioxide ( NO₂ ) was also investigated with a view to finding similar interactions. Although changes as marked as for C10₂ compared to other studies were not observed, the synthetic zeolite H-mordenite yielded spectra closely approximating those obtained in solid N₂O₄ matrices. It is proposed the NO₂ molecules are caged in the numerous side pockets emanating from the main channels in this zeolite and are effectively isolated from other NO₂ molecules. The resulting spectra are strikingly more resolved than those obtained using other adsorbents and enabled accurate computer simulations to be made. The adsorption of nitric oxide ( NO ) produced an effect not found with the other molecules. A new species was formed from a reaction of the NO with H-mordenite and could not be removed at room temperature, indicating a strong bond to the surface. The new species does not contain nitrogen as identical spectra were obtained from adsorption of ¹⁴NO and ¹⁵NO. Attempts to observe spectra which could be assigned to the difluoroamino radical from adsorption of tetrafluorohydrazine were unsuccessful. The spectra observed were assigned to a species having no hyperfine structure and an anisotropic g tensor.
title: A Comparative Study of MMPI Variables and Their Relationship to Successful Alcoholic Rehabilitation

description: This study was designed to determine whether the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory could successfully predict the outcome of rehabilitative treatment given 84 racially mixed male alcoholics having a mean age of 42.2 years who were admitted to the Wyoming State Hospital between September 1, 1965, and September 1, 1966. The subjects were given the MMPI before receiving 16 weeks of treatment consisting of education, group and individual psychotherapy, alcoholics anonymous, routine "ward treatment," disulfiram (antibuse), special ward unit, and special program without ward. After their release from hospital, the subjects were evaluated yearly for five years by relatives, employers, and themselves concerning vocational and familial responsibilities, sobriety, AA attendance, and drinking.
Multiple regression analysis, a multivariate statistical technique was utilized to analyze the data from a systematic follow-up questionnaire. At the end of five years 32 of the original 84 subjects could be located. The study concluded that the MMPI cannot be used to predict successful treatment of alcoholics at Wyoming State Hospital.

description: Linguistics is a comprehensive topic studied by many linguists. Based on their scientific and practical opinions, many linguists gave different definitions, taking into account the dependence of other sciences on linguistics, their similarities and differences. It is defined as linguomethodology in some scholars’ work. However, there is a huge difference between linguodidactics and linguomethodology. Both of  terms play a crucial role in  improving  foreign languages pronunciation, it is essential to investigate  phonetics and its articulatory difficulties.

description: The interpretation of X-ray detections from Herbig Ae/Be stars is disputed as it is not clear if these intermediate-mass pre-main sequence stars are able to drive a dynamo and ensuing phenomena of magnetic activity. Alternative X-ray production mechanisms, related to stellar winds, star-disk magnetospheres, or unresolved late-type T Tauri star companions have been proposed. In a series of papers we have been investigating high-resolution X-ray Chandra images of Herbig Ae/Be and main-sequence B-type stars to test the T Tauri hypothesis by spatially resolving known visual companions from the primaries. Here we report on six as yet unpublished Chandra exposures from our X-ray survey of Herbig stars. The target list comprises six Herbig stars with known cool companions, and three further A/B-type stars that are serendipitously in the Chandra field-of-view. In this sample we record a detection rate of 100%, i.e. all A/B-type stars display X-ray emission at levels of log(L_x/L_bol) ~ -5...-7. The analysis of hardness ratios confirms that HAeBe's have hotter and/or more absorbed X-ray emitting plasma than more evolved B-type stars. Radiative winds are ruled out as exclusive emission mechanism on basis of the high X-ray temperatures. Confirming earlier results, the X-ray properties of Herbig Ae/Be stars are not vastly different from those of their late-type companion stars (if such are known). The diagnostics provided by the presently available data leave open if the hard X-ray emission of Herbig stars is due to young age or indicative of further coronally active low-mass companion stars. In the latter case, our detection statistics imply a high fraction of higher-order multiple systems among Herbig stars.

Integration theories and self-rating : the application of cognitive algebra to schema theory
Creators: name: Cumming, Steven Ronald
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: An experiment was conducted to investigate the appropriateness of Anderson's (1981) averaging integration model to self-rating. This model would enable simultaneous estimation of the extremity (or position) and importance (or weight) of those self-schemata involved in a given rating task (Markus, 1977). It was hypothesised that the averaging model of integration could be described geometrically as predictive of a \city-block\" metric such that estimates of proximity (self-descriptiveness of adjective-qualifier pairs) consist of summed estimates of the proximities of each component of the stimulus item to a constant comparitor point. Geometrically this model therefore predicts that movement through the space in which rating takes place is horizontal and vertical but never diagonal. This model is contrasted with a euclidean metric in which ratings are predicted from the square root of the summed squared proximities. Stimulus items consisted of pairs of adjectives each qualified by one of six adverbs.There were two Adjective Type conditions (Abstract Concrete) and three Instructional Sets yielding a 6 (qualifier of first adjective) X 6 (qualifier of second adjective) X 2 (adjective type) within-subject factorial design with Instructional Set as a between groups factor. Data were visual-analog ratings from 0 (not at all like me) to 100 (exactly like me). These were subject to a range of model fitting procedures intended to 'identify convergence with the averaging and euclidean models including Median Polish (Tukey 1975) IMSL iteration procedures and residuals ANOVA (Anderson 1982). Results indicate that neither the averaging nor the euclidean models satifactorally predicted the ratings obtained as the data departs significantly from each. Of the two models however the euclidean model shows superior fit to the data. It is suggested that the results may be consistent with a differential-weight averaging model (Anderson 1982) although evidence to his conclusion is secondary."

description: Radio astrometry of nearby, low-mass stars has the potential to be a powerful tool for the discovery and characterization of planetary companions. We present a Very Large Array survey of 172 active M dwarfs at distances of less than 10 pc. Twenty nine stars were detected with flux densities greater than 100 microJy. We observed 7 of these stars with the Very Long Baseline Array at milliarcsecond resolution in three separate epochs. With a detection threshold of 500 microJy in images of sensitivity 1 sigma ~ 100 microJy, we detected three stars three times (GJ 65B, GJ896A, GJ 4247), one star twice (GJ 285), and one star once (GJ 803). Two stars were undetected (GJ 412B and GJ 1224). For the four stars detected in multiple epochs, residuals from the optically-determined proper motions have an rms deviation of ~0.2 milliarcseconds, consistent with statistical noise limits. Combined with previous optical astrometry, these residuals provide acceleration upper limits that allow us to exclude planetary companions more massive than 3-6 M_Jup at a distance of ~1 AU with a 99% confidence level.

title: A Proposed Method of Student Selection Using a Biographical Inventory as an Adjunctive Predictive Criterion
Creators: name: Orme, Jeffrey Scott
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether or not the use of a biographical inventory would be a feasible and viable adjunctive means of making more accurate predictions of student success in programs of upper-division and graduate study in speech pathology and audiology. During the past years, biographical inventories have been found to be predictive of creativity, performance as a military officer, performance in varied occupations, and academic performance. It was hypothesized that a biographical inventory could be developed which, when used in conjunction with the existing academic predictors of Grade Point Average and Graduate Records Examination scores, would add to the established selection instruments. As a means of identifying and distinguishing among several levels of competency of students, a student evaluation form was constructed and validated. Items cores from a 257 item biographical inventory were correlated with scores obtained from the student evaluation form and a 52 item biographical inventory for speech pathology and audiology students was developed. Admissions criteria data, student evaluation form scores and biographical inventory scores were placed in two step-wise multiple regression equations and analyzed statistically. Results indicate that biographical factors appear to be of importance to undergraduate success in programs of speech and hearing therapy. Student success in the more rigorous programs of graduate study appears to depend much more on academic ability. Disparate results indicate that the use of a biographical inventory as an adjunctive academic predictor should be approached with caution until further studies can be conducted.

title: Transfer of Stimulus Control By Temporal Fading
Creators: name: Steele, David Allan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: The present study was designed to analyze the transfer of stimulus control in temporal fading procedures. Several aspects of temporal fading procedures were manipulated including sources of inhibitory stimulus control, delays of reinforcement, and rates of increase in the temporal parameter of a fading procedure. In Experiment I, previous research producing transfer of stimulus control in a temporal fading procedure was directly replicated and controls were implemented for the operation of inhibition. The results showed that inhibitory stimulus control is not necessary in order to produce a transfer as participants with neutral stimulus backgrounds also transferred from one dimension to another without errors. However, positive stimulus backgrounds in the fading procedure prohibited the participants from achieving an errorless transfer of discrimination learning. In Experiment II, a fixed trial duration was employed with a constant and equal delay of reinforcement for both new and original stimulus dimensions. In this condition, participants did not transfer from one dimension to another with up to 30-second delays. Control participants were yoked to participants exposed to delayed and fading procedures to examine response latencies under delayed reinforcement for a simultaneous discrimination. There were no discernible response patterns under this condition except that participants continued to emit relatively short response latencies with a 40-second delay of reinforcement. In Experiment III, the effects of different steps of temporal fading on transfer were examined. The results showed that as the step of delay increased (10 sec. per trial), subjects transferred earlier in the fading series. Also, subjects with extremely low steps of delay (.1 sec. per trial) tended to remain with the original stimulus dimension. Experiments I through III demonstrated the necessity of either inhibitory or neutral stimulus backgrounds, differential delays of reinforcement correlated with each stimulus dimension, and relatively rapid increments in delay of the original stimulus dimension to obtain transfers of stimulus control in temporal fading procedures. When excitatory stimulus backgrounds were employed, or no differential delay of reinforcement was present, or the delay of the original stimulus dimension increased slowly, errorless transfers were not obtained.
Overall, the results indicate that temporal fading procedures are a reliable, although complexly controlled, means of obtaining transfer between two stimulus dimensions.
title: The Development of Inventory Items to Measure Response Differences of Delinquent and Nondelinquent Youths
Creators: name: Kirk, Lionn Dean
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: This study was designed to refine and validate a 160-item self-report instrument which drew its items from personality theories and from clinical practice related to delinquency. The aim was to estimate the usefulness of items descriptive of delinquent behavior by testing their reliability and discriminative power.
There were two objectives. First: to test a set of items for their power to discriminate delinquent from non-delinquent responses which referred to delinquent and nondelinquent behavior. Second, to validate the power of the selected set of items to discriminate delinquent from non-delinquent youths in a second mixed group. Both objectives were realized in that significantly discriminating items emerged, which when administered to a second group, correctly classified 80% of the tested youths.
The subjects in this study were youths who were selected as delinquents (n = 125) and nondelinquents (N = 125). The items used in the measuring instrument were collected over a period of several. years and based on theoretic al and clinical resources. Selected items referred to family togetherness, family supportiveness, limit-setting and behavior consequences, self-esteem and success, and school functioning.
The results of the study provide a set of items which may be administered to help describe dis social behavior. The items may be used to educate parents, other adults, and students in recognizing some psycho-social behaviors related to interpersonal social behavior.
title: Nonidentity Matching-to-Sample with Retarded Adolescents: Stimulus Equivalences and Sample-Comparison Control
Creators: name: Stromer, Robert
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: In Experiment 1, four subjects were trained to match two visual samples (A) and their respective nonidentical visual comparisons (B); i.e., A-B matching. During nonreinforced test trials, all subjects demonstrated stimulus equivalences within the context of sample-comparison reversibility (B-A matching): When B stimuli were used as samples, appropriate responding to A comparisons occurred. A-B and B-A matching persisted given novel stimuli as alternate comparisons. However, the novel comparisons were consistently selected in the presence of nonmatching stimuli: i.e., during trials comprised of a novel comparison, an A or B sample from one stimulus class, and an "incorrect" comparison from the other, B or A stimuli respectively. In Experiment 2, three groups of subjects were trained under three different mediated transfer paradigms (e.g., A-B, C-B matching). Tests for reversibility (e.g., B0A, B0C matching) and mediated transfer (e.g., A-C, C-A matching)evinced stimulus equivalences for 11 of 12 subjects. The 11 subjects also matched the mediated equivalences given novel comparisons; whereas, they selected the novel comparisons when combined with nonmatching stimuli. Overall, the demonstrated stimulus equivalences favor a concept learning interpretation of non-identity matching-to-sample. Additionally, the trained and mediated matching relations were comprised of complementary sets of S+ and S- rules: Any stimulus of a given class used as a sample designated both the "correct" and "incorrect" comparisons.

description: The massive post-Main Sequence star W243 in the galactic starburst cluster Westerlund 1 has undergone a spectral transformation from a B2Ia supergiant devoid of emission features in 1981 to an A-type supergiant with a rich emission-line spectrum by 2002/03. We used VLT/UVES and VLT/FLAMES to obtain high-resolution spectra on six epochs in 2003/04 (UVES) and ten epochs in 2008/09 (FLAMES). These spectra are used alongside other VLT/FLAMES and NTT/EMMI spectra to follow the evolution of W243 from 2002 to 2009. W243 displays a complex, time-varying spectrum with emission lines of Hydrogen, Helium and Lyman-pumped metals, forbidden lines of Nitrogen and Iron, and a large number of absorption lines from neutral and singly-ionized metals. Many lines are complex emission/absorption blends. The LBV has a current temperature of ~8500K (spectral type A3Ia+), and displays signs of photospheric pulsations and weak episodic mass loss. Nitrogen is highly overabundant, with Carbon and Oxygen depleted, indicative of surface CNO-processed material and considerable previous mass-loss, although current time-averaged mass-loss rates are low. The emission-line spectrum forms at large radii, when material lost by the LBV in a previous mass-loss event is ionized by an unseen hot companion. Monitoring of the near-infrared spectrum suggests that the star has not changed significantly since it finished evolving to the cool state, close to the Humphreys-Davidson limit, in early 2003.

The ecology and biogeography of Athrotaxis D. Don.
Creators: name: Cullen, Philip J.
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The coniferous tree species Athrotaxis cupressoides and Athrotaxis selaginoides and a probable hybrid, A. laxifolia, form the genus Athrotaxis, which is endemic to Tasmania. These species are found in a wide range of cool temperate rainforest, subalpine scrub, and alpine heath communities in central, western, and southern Tasmania. Athrotaxis species are slow growing, extremely long lived, and very fire sensitive. The floristic composition, site characteristics, and demographic structure of Athrotaxis populations were investigated at 57 rainforest and subalpine scrub stands dominated by either A. cupressoides or A. selaginoides. The distribution of A. cupressoides largely coincides with those areas occupied by trees where extreme frosts are most common. In areas where both species occur, A. cupressoides is more likely to be found at higher altitudes or in cold valley bottoms. Subsequent trials demonstrated that A. cupressoides seedlings are more frost resistant than A. selaginoides seedlings. Field observations and preliminary experimental investigations indicated that neither differences in drought resistance nor tolerance to waterlogging are important in determining the relative distributions of these two species. For both species seed dispersal is restricted to areas within a few tens of metres of parent trees, except when seeds fall into flowing water. The demographic structure of Athrotaxis populations is strongly related to the floristic composition of the communities in which they are found. A. selaginoides relies on gap formation or catastrophic disturbance for regeneration opportunities in forests dominated by evergreen species (thamnic and callidendrous rainforests). However, in forests containing a high proportion of the deciduous tree, Nothofagus.gunnii, (implicate rainforests) and in subalpine scrub communities A. selaginoides regenerates continuously. A. cupressoides regenerates continuously in open montane rainforests, often by producing root suckers. This species is also capable of regeneration following catastrophic disturbance. However, stands of A. cupressoides on the Central Plateau of Tasmania have no, or low, numbers of seedling sized individuals. Trials suggest that this regeneration failure is due to grazing by both introduced and native mammals. In undisturbed thamnic and implicate rainforests the species cannot regenerate successfully. Demographic structure and floristic composition of these communities indicates that they are seral stages in a succession from open montane to thamnic and implicate communites without A. cupressoides. It is probable that the colder conditions and a higher incidence of catastrophic disturbance during full glacial and interstadial climates would have been advantageous to Athrotaxis species. However, the loss of Athrotaxis populations and lack of regeneration in many cases must be attributed to the activites of Europeans in Tasmania and not to an inability to survive under the present climate.

Sleeping Venus without Amor
Creators: name: Lovecky, Katharina
Publisher: name: Belvedere Research Journal
Year: 2023

description: In 1826, Johann Baptist von Lampi the Younger created Venus Sleeping on a Day Bed, a painting that would undergo a considerable reworking. After its acquisition by the Imperial Picture Gallery in 1828, large areas of the background were overpainted in black, as revealed by investigations carried out by the Belvedere’s restoration and conservation department in 2022. Through this extensive overpainting, the original figure of the winged Amor—and with it, an important compositional element—was lost. In this paper, I will first situate the original motif of the sleeping Venus with Amor in the earlier pictorial tradition. I will then use archive material to establish the date of this large-scale intervention in the painting. With the help of further case studies, I will show that overpainting was a common practice in the nineteenth century. Finally, I will use historical discussions of the painting to show how the overpainting resulted in a new yet erroneous interpretation of Venus Sleeping on a Day Bed as a hidden portrait of one of Napoleon’s lovers, subsequently becoming a topos of local Salzburg history.

description: We use low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study different orientations of single-layer graphene sheets on Ir(111). The most-abundant orientation has previously been characterized in the literature. Using selective-area LEED we find three other variants, which are rotated 14, 18.5 and 30 degrees with respect to the most common variant. The about 30-degree-rotated structure is also studied by STM. We propose that all 4 variants are moire structures that can be classified using simple geometric rules involving periodic and quasi-periodic structural motifs. In addition, LEEM reveals that linear defects form in the graphene sheets during cooling from the synthesis temperature. STM shows that these defects are ridges, suggesting that the graphene sheets delaminate locally as the Ir substrate contracts.

Chased reliefs crafted from solid silver are mounted on ebony-veneered panels with ivory accentuating the moldings that frame the pictorial fields. This restrained material palette conjures a vision of the Virgin Immaculate and results in a display of silver on a monumental scale. In contrast to the Archduke’s extensive Kunst- and Wunderkammer at nearby Ambras Castle, the altarpiece has received relatively little scholarly attention. Drawing from diverse fields such as theology, botany, and music, this paper delves into the altarpiece's material and pictorial complexity and discusses the multifaceted layers of meaning that underpin the creation of this remarkable work. Considered within the context of the sepulchral chapel, hierarchies of matter, color, and space convey the Virgin’s singular status and her role as primary intercessor. Jesuit thought and new patterns of Marian devotion, not least under the influence of Peter Canisius, play a pivotal role in this context, which is framed against the backdrop of Habsburg piety and Counter-Reformation efforts.

The altarpiece meaningfully embodies the theme of the Virgin Mary as mirror of virtue, in the tradition of speculum sine macula (a mirror without stain). At the same time, the silver’s tendency to tarnish and blacken draws parallels to the ambiguous tensions and complexities surrounding her immaculacy and theological beauty. This study also highlights the slippage between artistic practice and the broader context of Tyrolean silver mining and minting activity. At a time when the value of coined silver was becoming uncertain and its purity questioned, the altarpiece’s tarnished materiality demonstrates the degree to which moral and material virtue were subject to negotiation and open to ambiguous interpretation. Therefore, this paper also illuminates and investigates period concepts of material immaculacy, purity, and preciousness, which stand at the intersection of theological ideals, financial motivations, and artistic ambition.

The ecological biogeography of Callitris vent. in Tasmania
Creators: name: Harris, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Callitris rhomboidea and Callitris oblonga have a parapatric distribution in Eastern Tasmania. C. rhomboidea occurs on the East Coast and C. oblonga is mainly confined to a few coastal and inland river valleys between Launceston and the East Coast. C. rhomboidea is capable of continuous gap-phase regeneration. Natural stands are often multi-aged but even-aged cohorts often reflect burning. C. oblonga regenerates after fire or after mechanical damage to cone bearing branches (usually during floods). It is therefore an episodic regenerator which does not appear to regenerate continuously in the absence of exogenous disturbance. The two species are ecologically differentiated by frost tolerance, waterlogging and shade tolerance. C. oblonga is more tolerant of frost and waterlogging but C. rhomboidea still occupies a very wide ecological amplitude, although it possibly has a competitive advantage on the driest sites. C. oblonga is well adapted to a riparian and floodplain niche, a distribution which is reinforced by the higher fire frequency in non riparian habitats. Hybrids between the two taxa are rare because timing of their peak pollen release is asynchronous. Climatically suitable areas apparently occur for both species beyond their present range but a temperature reduction during the Last Glacial may have limited C. rhomboidea to the east of the Eastern Tiers and C. oblonga to a small glacial refuge within the northern part of the Eastern Tiers. Expansion beyond these palaeogeographically determined limits has been retarded by the slow overland migration rates of both species, and by the onset of anthropogenic burning. Limited post-glacial dispersal of C. oblonga has been aided by downstream spread of propagules. An increase in fire frequency with the arrival of Aboriginal man about 30,000 years ago may have not only constrained the expansion of Callitris but also caused the extinction of C. rhomboidea in the far north east of Tasmania. A further increase in burning from the early nineteenth century, has caused a decline in the extent of Callitris. Frequent burning has forced C. rhomboidea into fire protected habitats such as cliffs, deep gullies and rocky knolls, and C. oblonga into areas protected by anastomosing channels, cut off meander loops or rocky benches and cliffs. Prior to human colonisation of the \Tasmanian peninsula\" C. rhomboidea was probably found on more xeric sites in juxtaposition with rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest on other sites. Frequent burning is hypothesised to have caused a shift in forest patterns. C.oblonga is inadequately reserved. Management of the species should aim to protect the most upstream stands which provide sources of propagules for downstream habitats. C. oblonga conservation would be helped by fire prevention enrichment planting and weed control. C. rhomboidea is adequately reserved but fire frequency should be reduced throughout its range and outlying stands especially on islands should be reserved and protected."

Oxygen consumption, circadian rhythmicity and sleep
Creators: name: Fraser, Geoffrey J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Oxygen consumption is lower during sleep than relaxed wakefulness. However, there is disagreement as to the particular metabolic changes which produce the difference. The present study assessed (i) the contribution of sleep, circadian cycle and the specific dynamic action effect of the evening meal, to the fall in metabolic rate during the sleep period. (ii) the effects of sleep stage on oxygen consumption which had been suggested by previous researchers, and (iii) the effect of body movement arousals on oxygen consumption. Five subjects were tested for a total of nine nights under three conditions in a repeated measures design. Subjects were confined to bed throughout their usual sleep period, but were allowed to go to sleep 0, 3 or 6 hours following their usual time for lights out. Oxygen consumption was measured in all conditions for the half hour before and after each of the times for lights out and then throughout the sleep period following lights out. The results demonstrated that changes in energy expenditure during the sleep period are a function of both sleep and circadian cycle. In this study the contribution of the components was approximately equal. However, the effect of sleep was rapid, with oxygen consumption values reaching an asymptote within fifteeen minutes of sleep onset, while the effect of circadian cycle was constant over the assessment period. No evidence was found implicating the specific dynamic action effect of the evening meal in the reduction in sleep period metabolic rate. The results of previous studies can be interpreted as being due to the combined effect of circadian and sleep influences, and not to specific differences in metabolic rate between separate sleep stages. These would appear to be artifactual. In addition, the period of metabolic disturbance following a movement arousal was shown to be longer than that suggested by previous researchers.

description: We review the current status of small x resummation of evolution of parton distributions and of deep-inelastic coefficient functions. We show that the resummed perturbative expansion is stable, robust upon different treatments of subleading terms, and that it matches smoothly to the unresummed perturbative expansions, with corrections which are of the same order as the typical NNLO ones in the HERA kinematic region. We discuss different approaches to small x resummation: we show that the ambiguities in the resummation procedure are small, provided all parametrically enhanced terms are included in the resummation and properly matched.
