description: A systematic study of NaxCoO2 (x=0.50 - 0.90) and NaxCoO2 yH(D)2O (x=0.26 - 0.42, y=1.3) has been performed to determine phase stability and the effect of hydration on the structural and superconducting properties of this system. We show that a careful control of the Na deintercalation process and hydration dynamics is possible in single crystals of this system. Furthermore, we give experimental evidence that the dependence of the superconducting transition temperature on Na content is much weaker than reported earlier. Implications of this effect for the understanding of the superconducting phase diagram are discussed.

Who Confines Quarks? - On Non-Abelian Monopoles and Dynamics of Confinement

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The role non-Abelian magnetic monopoles play in the dynamics of confinement is discussed by examining carefully a class of supersymmetric gauge theories as theoretical laboratories. In particular, in the so-called $r$-vacua of softly broken ${N}=2$ supersymmmetric $SU(n_c)$ QCD, the Goddard-Olive-Nuyts-Weinberg monopoles appear as the dominant low-energy effective degrees of freedom. Even more interesting is the physics of confining vacua which are deformations of nontrivial superconformal theories. We argue that in such cases, occurring in the $r= {n_f \over 2}$ vacua of $SU(n_c)$ theories or in all of confining vacua of $USp(2n_c)$ or $SO(n_f)$ theories with massless flavors, a new mechanism of confinement involving strongly interacting non-Abelian magnetic monopoles is at work.

description: An operant conditioning procedure for assessing gustatory sensory capacity in the rat was used to examine the effects of zinc depletion on the detection and discrimination of tastants. Initially, animals were separated into three groups with comparable serum zinc concentrations. Each animal was then tested for NaCl threshold and on a two-tastant discrimination task prior to, during, and after zinc depletion or paired feeding with supplemental zinc control procedures. The groups were maintained on a zinc-free food diet and drinking water was supplemented with 100 ppm zinc ion per day in the pre- and posttreatment phases. During the zinc manipulation phase, zinc supplement was withdrawn or reduced to 5 ppm zinc ion per day for the zinc-deprived groups or maintained for the control zinc groups. NaCl thresholds increased more than 8- and 22-fold from pre- to posttreatment in the moderately and severely zinc-depleted groups, respectively, but remained unchanged in controls. In comparison to controls, the moderately and severely zinc-depleted groups made more total errors on the two-tastant discrimination task. After 26 days of zinc repletion, detection thresholds and discrimination accuracy did not improve in the experimental groups. Analysis of plasma zinc samples after 24 days of zinc depletion indicated significantly decreased mean serum zinc content ((mu)g/dl) in the moderately (60) and severely (38) zinc-depleted groups, as compared to controls (101). Twenty-seven days of zinc repletion did not significantly increase serum zinc ((mu)g/dl) content in the former moderately (69) and severely (42) zinc-depleted groups. These results demonstrate that zinc depletion leads to altered taste function.

description: In this paper an efficient and reliable method for stochastic yield estimation is presented. Since one main challenge of uncertainty quantification is the computational feasibility, we propose a hybrid approach where most of the Monte Carlo sample points are evaluated with a surrogate model, and only a few sample points are reevaluated with the original high fidelity model. Gaussian Process Regression is a non-intrusive method which is used to build the surrogate model. Without many prerequisites, this gives us not only an approximation of the function value, but also an error indicator that we can use to decide whether a sample point should be reevaluated or not. For two benchmark problems, a dielectrical waveguide and a lowpass filter, the proposed methods outperform classic approaches.

description: We report comprehensive Raman-scattering measurements on a single crystal of double-perovskite Nd2ZnIrO6 in temperature range of 4-330 K, and spanning a broad spectral range from 20 cm-1 to 5500 cm-1. The paper focuses on lattice vibrations and electronic transitions involving Kramers doublets of the rare-earth Nd3+ ion with local C1 site symmetry. Temperature evolution of these quasi-particle excitations have allowed us to ascertain the intricate coupling between lattice and electronic degrees of freedom in Nd2ZnIrO6. Strong coupling between phonons and crystal-field excitation is observed via renormalization of the self-energy parameter of the phonons i.e. peak frequency and line-width. The phonon frequency shows abrupt hardening and line-width narrowing below ~ 100 K for the majority of the observed first-order phonons. We observed splitting of the lowest Kramers doublets of ground state (4I9/2) multiplets i.e. lifting of the Kramers degeneracy, prominently at low-temperature (below ~ 100 K), attributed to the Nd-Nd/Ir exchange interactions and the intricate coupling with the lattice degrees of freedom. The observed splitting is of the order of ~ 2-3 meV and is consistent with the estimated value. We also observed a large number of high-energy modes, 46 in total, attributed to the intra-configurational transitions between 4f3 levels of Nd3+ coupled to the phonons reflected in their anomalous temperature evolution.

description: We have demonstrated several inexpensive methods which can be used to measure the deflection angles of prisms with microradian precision. The methods are self-referenced, using various reversals to achieve absolute measurements without the need of a reference prism or any expensive precision components other than the prisms under test. These techniques are based on laser interferometry and have been used in our lab to characterize parallel-plate beamsplitters, penta prisms, right angle prisms, and corner cube reflectors using only components typically available in an optics lab.

THE AMERICAN TECHNOCRACY MOVEMENT: A CASE STUDY IN THE HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT

description: The intent of this inquiry is to provide an interpretative framework for understanding the nature and implications of the economic doctrine of the American Technocracy movement. The significance of Technocracy within the history of economic thought, in our opinion, has been addressed in a peripheral and superficial fashion. It has not been satisfactorily addressed in the literature from the perspective of the history of economic thought as viewed within the evolution of modern capitalist society. The approach must suited for this purpose is the sociology of knowledge. The specific model chosen to examine the dialectic between socio-economic reality and socio-economic thought is based on Jurgen Habermas' formulation of knowledge-guiding human interests, and the concept of legitimation. This method addresses historically the manner in which these knowledge-guiding human interests are either suppressed or given expression according to the dynamic of socio-economic conditions, determining at the same time the potential effect on human freedom. By exposing the American Technocracy movement under this light, the model proves to be of substantial heuristic value. The economic theory and ideology of Technocracy reflect the complete dominance of the technical interest at the expense of the practical and emancipatory interests in steering knowledge. All of Technocracy's articulations--philosophical, methodological, theoretical and practical, represent the guidance of social knowledge by the technical interest. This study will help clarify why at times the socio-economic problem is conceived predominantly in technocratic fashion, as principally a physical, technical, or engineering problem. The desire to suppress the practical interest and steer social knowledge strictly in accordance with the natural scientific method seems to arise during legitimation crisis. Socio-economic transformation generates political instability and thus brings into question the dominant or overarching meaning system. When uncertainty emerges concerning the validity of social norms and values--the organizing principles that function to hold society together, the whole system is threatened with chaos and there is a search for the appropriate instrumental means and values to restore order. Technocracy is an extreme example of this effort to control and manipulate that appears during the interwar period.

description: This study was conducted to survey constituencies of the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) for their opinions of the perceived and preferred importance of NCAVC goals; to determine the statistical significance of the differences for selected goal areas by the role of the respondents; and to interpret the findings for their implications for NCAVC planning. The five selected goal areas were Research/Development, Consultation Services, Computer Engineering Services, Public Service, and Social Criticism/Activism. Data were elicited through the National Center Goals Inventory, an instrument developed by the researcher and modeled after the Institutional Goals Inventory with permission of Educational Testing Service. It consisted of seventy-eight items spread throughout fifteen goals areas. The study population was twenty-five FBI administrators, twenty-five NCAVC faculty and staff, and twenty-five FBI National Academy police students. Means and discrepancies were rank ordered. Tests for statistical significance were performed for the selected goal areas. The results indicated support of goal areas. Data Collection/Analysis, Consultation Services, and Research/Development were particularly important on both "Is" and "Should Be" ratings. Social Criticism/Activism was least important on both ratings, followed by Freedom/Intellectual Environment and Center Personnel Development. NCAVC Purpose and Administration goal areas had high importance for "Should Be" ratings. Significant differences were found between administrators and student-users on Consultation Services for the "Is" ratings, between student-users and administrators on Public Service, and between student-users versus administrators and faculty-staff on social Criticism/Activism for the "Should Be" ratings. Conclusions were that NCAVC constituencies agreed all goal areas are important and put most emphasis on goals impacting investigation of violent crime. NCAVC planners should take rating extremes, discrepancies, and areas of consensus into account. Goals should be reviewed to make them operational and adaptable to change. Future researchers should examine the feasibility of formulating goal inventories for service institutions and businesses.

The theory of multiple Andreev reflections, adapted from superconducting weak links, leads to a nonlinear dependence of the dc current on pressure bias. In arrays of pinholes one has to take into account oscillations of the texture at the Josephson frequency. The associated radiation of spin waves from the junction leads to an additional dissipative current at small biases, in quantitative agreement with measurements.

description: We propose a novel method in that quark-gluon tagging of the jets emitted as initial state radiation (ISR) can boost searches of invisible Higgs from gluon fusion processes against irreducible electroweak vector boson productions. While quark ISR typically takes up a dominant portion than gluon in the background processes mainly by frequent quark-gluon initiated hard scatterings at the LHC, gluon ISR portion in the gluon fusion can be significantly larger in the central region of detector. Focusing on invisible Higgs searches using jet substructure variables capturing the new features, we demonstrate that Higgs from gluon fusion constrains invisible Higgs decays the most, over vector boson fusion traditionally known as the most constraining, and the limit on the branching ratio is significantly improved. We summarize with emphasizing that our method has wider implications in search for new resonances from gluon fusion processes.

We calculate the eigenvalues of all Neumann matrices for all scale dimensions s, both for matter and ghosts, including fractional s which we use to regulate the difficult s=0 limit. We find that s=1 eigenfunctions just acquire a p term, and x gets replaced by the midpoint position.

SOVIET PERSPECTIVES ON THE ROLE OF CONGRESS IN U.S. FOREIGN POLICY: THEORETICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR THE STUDY OF SOVIET FOREIGN POLICY AND U.S.-SOVIET RELATIONS (UNITED STATES)
Creators: name: Huber, Robert T.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study traces the development of Soviet attitudes toward the role of Congress in U.S. foreign policy. It also examines the importance of those attitudes for the study of Soviet foreign policy and conduct of U.S.-Soviet relations. There are currently three competing models of Soviet foreign policy. The totalitarian model sees Soviet foreign policy reflecting an all-encompassing ideology and a Party monopoly of power. Consumed with globally establishing communist regimes and requiring an external American threat, the model sees little prospect for improvement in U.S.-Soviet relations. No policy inputs are relevant other than those initiated by the highest Party leadership. The pluralist model regards Soviet foreign policy as resulting from informed debate among foreign policy institutions. The model assumes significant inputs below the top leadership level and learning experiences from abroad. As such, possible improvement in U.S.-Soviet relations through mutually-reinforcing policies is postulated. In the corporatist model, Soviet foreign policy is determined by the need for system maintenance. Policy inputs are acknowledged but inputs must serve political stability. Conservative objectives, backed by military power, are sought by cautious actors. Consensus policy outcomes are clearly the norm. Fundamental improvements in U.S.-Soviet relations are unlikely. The study evaluates existing models through examination of an unresearched area of Soviet foreign policy considerations. The writing of Soviet scholars on Congress' diverse role in U.S. foreign policy is detailed, as are relations between the Soviet Embassy and Congress, the treatment given Congressional delegations visiting the Soviet Union, and the attitudes of the Soviet leadership. In conclusion, the study argues that the pluralist model has the widest explanatory capability for Soviet scholarship on Congress and foreign policy, but that on some issues the totalitarian model offers the best explanation. In foreign policy institutions, behavior predicted by the corporatist model prevails. Attitudes of the Soviet leadership reflect all three models, although the degree of leadership understanding of Congressional powers is growing. Finally, the study emphasizes that Congress is receiving increasing Soviet attention as a powerful foreign policy institution, making Congress an effective consideration in the way superpower relations are conducted in both Washington and Moscow.

title: Plant plasmalemma structure: an immunological approach
Creators: name: Norman, Paul Michael
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1986

description: Clonal hybridomas were generated which secreted monoclonal antibodies reactive with a crude membrane preparation from Nicotiana glutinosa suspension culture cells. Antibody secretion was assessed by a radioimmunoassay using such membranes as substrate. A number of the monoclonal antibodies recognised epitopes expressed on the external face of the plasmalemma of N. glutinosa suspension culture derived protoplasts, as assessed by immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. A second, non-overlapping set of antibodies recognised epitopes on the exterior face of the cell wall of intact cells, whilst a third group showed neither reactivity, and was postulated to recognise epitopes expressed within the cell. Western blotting and immunoprecipitation analyses identified antibodies recognising a number of proteins including several plasmalemma glycoproteins. The recognised epitopes were periodate sensitive, and so probably in carbohydrate moieties. Immunoaffinity chromatography of a detergent extract of plant cells allowed purification of a plasmalemma glycoprotein. This was subjected to amino acid analysis, and used to raise polyclonal antisera and further monoclonal antibodies. Deglycosylation of a partially purified detergent extract of N. glutinosa cells suggested that this plasmalemma glycoprotein consists of a 50 kd molecular weight core protein, which is extensively and heterogeneously glycosylated, raising its apparent molecular weight to 130-230 kd. The plasmalemma glycoprotein was used as an antigenic marker for plasmalemma derived vesicles resolved on sucrose density gradients, and for heterokaryons in protoplast fusions. Similarities between the plasmalemma glycoprotein and arabinogalactan proteins are discussed.

Using combinatorial identities, they are presented as a series expansion in the dilatation and momentum generators. These twists interpolate between two simple Jordanian twists. For an expansion of a family of twists $\mathcal{F}_{L,u}$, we also show directly that the 2-cocycle condition reduces to previously proven identities.

description: In a broad range of fields it may be desirable to reuse a supervised classification algorithm and apply it to a new data set. However, generalization of such an algorithm and thus achieving a similar classification performance is only possible when the training data used to build the algorithm is similar to new unseen data one wishes to apply it to. It is often unknown in advance how an algorithm will perform on new unseen data, being a crucial reason for not deploying an algorithm at all. Therefore, tools are needed to measure the similarity of data sets. In this paper, we propose the Data Representativeness Criterion (DRC) to determine how representative a training data set is of a new unseen data set. We present a proof of principle, to see whether the DRC can quantify the similarity of data sets and whether the DRC relates to the performance of a supervised classification algorithm. We compared a number of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data sets, ranging from subtle to severe difference is acquisition parameters. Results indicate that, based on the similarity of data sets, the DRC is able to give an indication as to when the performance of a supervised classifier decreases. The strictness of the DRC can be set by the user, depending on what one considers to be an acceptable underperformance.

A HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
Creators: name: Reese, James Thomas
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The history of law enforcement in the United States spans three-and-a-half centuries. In its earliest days, law enforcement amounted essentially to the efforts of citizens who volunteered to provide watchman-type duties in their colonies. Their ventures were not complicated. As the need for law enforcement increased in America, corollary growth in its nature and scope followed. A general theme is apparent in this growth; that is, law enforcement developed from simple, uncomplicated functions involving little stress to complex and stressful endeavors requiring highly trained personnel. The earliest involvement of behavioral scientists in the law enforcement field appeared to be about 1916 in the selection of police candidates. They were employed part-time to do psychological testing. Subsequently, the assistance of behavioral scientists expanded to include providing operational help in such matters as hostage negotiation, criminal personality profiling, domestic crisis intervention, crime scene analysis, and counseling with police officers regarding personal problems inherent in police work. These early efforts seemed to come together in 1968 when the Los Angeles, California, Police Department hired a full-time psychologist, thereby giving formal recognition of their importance. Some feel that this event marked the birth of police psychology as a specialty within the field of psychology. Police psychology developed notably thereafter. This development is marked by a steady increase in the number of police departments employing full-time and/or part-time psychologists, the growing number of conferences and symposia wherein police psychologists share their successes and failures in the law enforcement setting, and the recognition by the American Psychological Association of police psychology, in 1982, by designating a special section of an affiliate for psychologists who work in law enforcement. These developments are evidence that psychological services in law enforcement organizations in the United States have become an essential component of contemporary law enforcement programs.

description: Vehicle non-exhaust emissions are a major component of particle matter, including the direct wear of tires, brakes, road, and the resuspension of deposited particles. It is suggested that resuspended PM (RPM) emissions can be at the same magnitude or even larger than combustion emissions in urban centers. Factors affecting RPM can be included in four categories: road characteristics, traffic condition, land use, and meteorology. In order to study and evaluate these influencing factors, road dust less than 10 micrometers (RD10) was collected in 41 sites across Bogotá. The sampling points had diverse characteristics. RD10 levels varied between 1.0 and 45.8 mg/m2 with an average of 8.9 ± 8.4 mg/m2. Lower RD10 values were observed when vegetation density was high, pavement condition good, driving speeds fast and construction activities absent. On the contrary, RD10 increased under heavy-duty traffic influence and dry conditions. Among dust mitigation measures, management of land-use variables could be as important as traffic control and road maintenance. Implications: This study documented for the first time in Latin America dust loadings less than 10 micrometers, information that can be used to estimate resuspended particle matter emissions in the region. The influence of meteorology, traffic characteristics, road condition, and land-use variables was analyzed and quantified. The management of land-use variables could be as important as traffic control and road maintenance for road dust mitigation. Further research interests are discussed.

description: Absolute measurements of the differential cross section for elastic electron-proton scattering were made in the range of momentum transfer from Q('2) = 2.9 to 31.3 (GeV/c)('2) using an electron beam at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The data span six orders of magnitude in cross section. Combined statistical and systematic uncertainties in the cross section measurements ranged from 3% at low Q('2) to 19% at high Q('2). These data have been used to extract values of either the proton magnetic form factor G(,M)('p)(Q('2)) or Dirac form factor F(,1)('p)(Q('2)) under the assumption that the electric form factor G(,E)('p)(Q('2)) follows the scaling relation G(,E)('p)(Q('2)) = G(,M)('p)(Q('2))/(mu)(,p). The results at high momentum transfer are in rough agreement with the logarithmic falloff of Q('4)F(,1)('p) expected from leading twist predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD). An improved treatment is given for evaluating the argument of the running strong coupling constant (alpha)(,s)(Q('2)) in each QCD diagram, resulting in improved agreement of the leading twist predictions with the data at high Q('2).
title: Radicals in English education, 1960-1980: A critical study
Creators: name: Wright, Nigel Philip
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: This is an interdisciplinary critical review of the radical movement in English education (schools) in the 1960s and 1970s. The term 'radical’ is defined and the contributing historical currents are analysed. The distinguishing features of this radicalism are identified. There is a descriptive history of 19 radical teachers' groups, of the school students movement and of the other groups which campaigned for radical changes in education. The ideas and strategies of these groups are examined and discussed. As examples of radical practice, the 14 free schools which were established in the 1970s are described. The phenomenon of free schooling is investigated under six headings: philosophy; the free school and the community: structures; the place of free schools in society; libertarian non-intervention; and the strategy of free schooling. Twelve 'radical dilemmas' are identified - issues on which the radicals were unable to reach agreement and which rendered the radical movement a multi-dimensional tendency rather than a unified political movement. The ideas put forward by the radicals are critically examined in two case studies: one a study of the experience of White Lion Street Free School; the other a study of radical theories of learning. In each case it is suggested that there are flaws in radical thinking which point to a need for more rigorous theoretical work. Certain themes which were under-developed by radicals are identified. The significance of the radical movement is assessed, and proposals are made for further research. An appendix lists all the criticisms made of schooling by the radicals in this period. The bibliography includes a comprehensive list of all the radical literature published in this period.

description: This study traces the development of Soviet attitudes toward the role of Congress in U.S. foreign policy. It also examines the importance of those attitudes for the study of Soviet foreign policy and conduct of U.S.-Soviet relations. There are currently three competing models of Soviet foreign policy. The totalitarian model sees Soviet foreign policy reflecting an all-encompassing ideology and a Party monopoly of power. Consumed with globally establishing communist regimes and requiring an external American threat, the model sees little prospect for improvement in U.S.-Soviet relations. No policy inputs are relevant other than those initiated by the highest Party leadership. The pluralist model regards Soviet foreign policy as resulting from informed debate among foreign policy institutions. The model assumes significant inputs below the top leadership level and learning experiences from abroad. As such, possible improvement in U.S.-Soviet relations through mutually-reinforcing policies is postulated. In the corporatist model, Soviet foreign policy is determined by the need for system maintenance. Policy inputs are acknowledged but inputs must serve political stability. Conservative objectives, backed by military power, are sought by cautious actors. Consensus policy outcomes are clearly the norm. Fundamental improvements in U.S.-Soviet relations are unlikely. The study evaluates existing models through examination of an unresearched area of Soviet foreign policy considerations. The writing of Soviet scholars on Congress' diverse role in U.S. foreign policy is detailed, as are relations between the Soviet Embassy and Congress, the treatment given Congressional delegations visiting the Soviet Union, and the attitudes of the Soviet leadership. In conclusion, the study argues that the pluralist model has the widest explanatory capability for Soviet scholarship on Congress and foreign policy, but that on some issues the totalitarian model offers the best explanation. In foreign policy institutions, behavior predicted by the corporatist model prevails. Attitudes of the Soviet leadership reflect all three models, although the degree of leadership understanding of Congressional powers is growing. Finally, the study emphasizes that Congress is receiving increasing Soviet attention as a powerful foreign policy institution, making Congress an effective consideration in the way superpower relations are conducted in both Washington and Moscow.

description: We investigated the feasibility of quantum-correlation measurements in nuclear physics experiments. In a first approach, we measured spin correlations of singlet-spin (1S0) proton pairs, which were generated in 1H(d,2He) and 12C(d,2He) nuclear charge-exchange reactions. The experiment was optimized for a clean preparation of the 2He singlet state and offered a 2pi detection geometry for both protons in the exit channel. Our results confirm the effectiveness of the setup for theses studies, despite limitations of a small data sample recorded during the feasibility studies.

Classical defocussing of world lines -- Cosmological Implications

description: We have extended our result on defocussing of world lines [1] by modifying gravity in the early epoch by a 5-d theory with scalar $ψ(r)$. The acceleration term in the Raychaudhuri equation has been shown to be positive for flat FRW metric. The scalar $ψ(r)$ satisfies a non-linear differential equation which is solved. Though singular, the acceleration term turns out to be finite. With this, the equations for the Hubble parameter H(t) and the scale factor $a(t)$ are obtained. These are analyzed using 'fixed point analysis'. Without the scalar field, the age of the universe is finite showing a beginning of the universe and with out bounce. With the contribution of the scalar included, the age of the universe is shown to be infinite, thereby resolving the singularity. The scale factor $a(t)$ exhibits classical bounce, the bounce being proportional to the effect of the scalar field. The effect of the 5-d gravity in the early universe is to cause defocussing of the world lines, give infinite age of the universe thereby resolving the big bang singularity and classical bounce for the FRW scale factor.

description: The history of law enforcement in the United States spans three-and-a-half centuries. In its earliest days, law enforcement amounted essentially to the efforts of citizens who volunteered to provide watchman-type duties in their colonies. Their ventures were not complicated. As the need for law enforcement increased in America, corollary growth in its nature and scope followed. A general theme is apparent in this growth; that is, law enforcement developed from simple, uncomplicated functions involving little stress to complex and stressful endeavors requiring highly trained personnel. The earliest involvement of behavioral scientists in the law enforcement field appeared to be about 1916 in the selection of police candidates. They were employed part-time to do psychological testing. Subsequently, the assistance of behavioral scientists expanded to include providing operational help in such matters as hostage negotiation, criminal personality profiling, domestic crisis intervention, crime scene analysis, and counseling with police officers regarding personal problems inherent in police work. These early efforts seemed to come together in 1968 when the Los Angeles, California, Police Department hired a full-time psychologist, thereby giving formal recognition of their importance. Some feel that this event marked the birth of police psychology as a specialty within the field of psychology. Police psychology developed notably thereafter. This development is marked by a steady increase in the number of police departments employing full-time and/or part-time psychologists, the growing number of conferences and symposia wherein police psychologists share their successes and failures in the law enforcement setting, and the recognition by the American Psychological Association of police psychology, in 1982, by designating a special section of an affiliate for psychologists who work in law enforcement. These developments are evidence that psychological services in law enforcement organizations in the United States have become an essential component of contemporary law enforcement programs.
