The transition into adulthood for children with a severe intellectual disability: :
                    parents??? views

This is an accepted manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in International Journal of Developmental Disabilities on 3 April 2017, available online at doi: https://doi.org/10.1080/20473869.2016.1138598.Objectives: This study used the grounded theory to explore parents??? views of the transition into adulthood of their child with a severe intellectual disability. The study also sought to explore the processes that parents engage in for making psychological adjustments, to appreciate their role during this transition. This study is imperative for developing a psychologically informed theory that can be understood by both parents and clinicians. Methods: Twelve parents of 11 children with a severe intellectual disability were recruited for interview from charitable organizations accessed by parents (e.g. Mencap). Data collection used a combination of open-ended structured questions and non-directed probing. NVivo 10 software was used to assist the grounded theory coding and analysis process. Results: The analysis developed five processes that parents engaged in during their child???s transition into adulthood: ???defining adulthood???, ???noticing adult development???, ???perceiving barriers to adulthood???, ???worrying,??? and ???making psychological adjustments???. Common to these was seen to be a core process of ???making comparisons with perceived ???norms??????. Contrasting findings are critically discussed alongside extant literature. Additionally, a transition model of parents??? views and adjustments is proposed, grounded in the study findings. Conclusions: Parents engage in a series of interactional processes throughout the transition trajectory, which are likely to influence how they make adjustments. Clinical interventions could challenge parent perceptions; encourage peer support; embrace systemic ways of working with parents through their child???s transition into adulthood; and use the presented model to help parents understand their experiences and any adjustment-related problems
A versatile and reliably re-usable ultra-high vacuum viewport.

We present a viewport for use in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) based upon the preflattened solder seal design presented in earlier work [ Cox et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 74, 3185 (2003) ]. The design features significant modifications to improve long term performance. The windows have been leak tested to less than 10−10 atm cm3/s. From atom number measurements in an optical dipole trap loaded from a vapor cell magneto-optical trap inside a vacuum chamber accommodating these viewports, we measure a trap lifetime of 9.5 s suggesting a pressure of around 10−10 Torr limited by background rubidium vapor pressure. We also present a simplified design where the UHV seal is made directly to a vacuum pipe
Does service employees’ appearance affect the healthiness of food choice?

This is the authors' accepted and refereed manuscript to the articleDerived from previous research on social influence on food consumption and social comparison theory, this article examines the effect of service employees’ appearance on consumers’ food choice using an experimental study, involving a video manipulation and eye-tracking technique. The video shows a menu being proffered by a waitress whose degree of apparent healthiness varies (healthy, overweight, unhealthy lifestyle). The menu contains both healthy and unhealthy meal alternatives. The analysis of participants’ eye movements demonstrated that exposure to the overweight employee did not stimulate greater (i.e., earlier or longer) attention to unhealthy meal alternatives, whereas exposure to the employee who displayed an unhealthy lifestyle did. These findings have social and managerial implications: The postulated stigma according to which the presence of overweight others encourages unhealthy eating appears questionable. Service providers that might secretly hire according to body weight have no grounds to do so. In contrast, employees signaling an unhealthy lifestyle through their style choices prompt patrons to pay more attention to unhealthy meal alternatives. Food service providers might want to take this factor into consideration and actively manage the aspects that can be altered by simple measures.1, O
Salivary cortisol and testosterone responses to high intensity cycling before and after an 11-day intensified training period

This study examined salivary cortisol and testosterone responses to two, different high-intensity, ~30-min cycles separated by 2 h rest before and after an 11-day intensified training period. Twelve recreationally active, healthy males completed the study. Saliva samples were collected before, immediately after and 30 min after both bouts with salivary cortisol and testosterone concentrations assessed. Compared with pre-training blunted exercise-induced salivary cortisol, testosterone and cortisol/testosterone responses to both bouts post-training were observed (P < 0.05 for all). Comparing pre- with posttraining the absolute exercise-induced salivary cortisol, testosterone and cortisol/testosterone decreased from 11.1 to 3.1 and 7.0 to 4.4 nmol · L−1 (cortisol), from 407 to 258 and from 473 to 274 pmol · L−1 (testosterone) and from 12 to 4 and 7 to 5 (cortisol/testosterone) for the first and second bouts, respectively (P < 0.05). No differences in the pre- and post-training rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and heart rate (HR) responses during the cycles or times to fatigue were found (P > 0.05). Fatigue and Burnout scores were higher post- compared with pre-training (P < 0.05). These high-intensity exercise bouts can detect altered hormonal responses following intensified training. This test could assess an athlete’s current hormonal status, reductions in salivary cortisol and testosterone responses suggestive of increased fatigue
Line-driven disc wind models with an improved line force

The definitive version is available at www.blackwell-synergy.com. Copyright Blackwell Publishing DOI : 10.1046/j.1365-8711.1999.02935.xWe describe an efficient method of calculating the radiation pressure due to spectral lines, including all the terms in the velocity gradient tensor. We apply this method to calculate the two-dimensional, time-dependent structure of winds from luminous disks. Qualitative features of our new models are very similar to those we calculated including only the dominant terms in the tensor (Proga, Stone & Drew 1998, hereafter PSD). In particular, we find that models which displayed unsteady behaviour in PSD are also unsteady with the new method, and gross properties of the winds, such as mass- loss rate and characteristic velocity are not changed by the more accurate approach. The largest change caused by the new method is in the disk-wind opening angle: winds driven only by the disk radiation are more polar with the new method while winds driven by the disk and central object radiation are typically more equatorial. In the closing discussion, we provide further insight into the way the geometry of the radiation field and consequent flow determines the time properties of the flow
MicroRNA-155 Is Required for Effector CD8(+) T Cell Responses to Virus Infection and Cancer.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the function of several immune cells, but their role in promoting CD8(+) T cell immunity remains unknown. Here we report that miRNA-155 is required for CD8(+) T cell responses to both virus and cancer. In the absence of miRNA-155, accumulation of effector CD8(+) T cells was severely reduced during acute and chronic viral infections and control of virus replication was impaired. Similarly, Mir155(-/-) CD8(+) T cells were ineffective at controlling tumor growth, whereas miRNA-155 overexpression enhanced the antitumor response. miRNA-155 deficiency resulted in accumulation of suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) causing defective cytokine signaling through STAT5. Consistently, enforced expression of SOCS-1 in CD8(+) T cells phenocopied the miRNA-155 deficiency, whereas SOCS-1 silencing augmented tumor destruction. These findings identify miRNA-155 and its target SOCS-1 as key regulators of effector CD8(+) T cells that can be modulated to potentiate immunotherapies for infectious diseases and cancer
First evidence for the annihilation decay mode B+→D+sφ

Evidence for the hadronic annihilation decay mode B+→D+sϕ is found with greater than 3σ significance. The branching fraction and CP asymmetry are measured to be B(B+→D+sϕ)= 1.87+1.25−0.73(stat)±0.19(syst)±0.32(norm))×10−6,ACP(B+→D+sϕ) =−0.01±0.41(stat)±0.03(syst). The last uncertainty on B(B+→D+sϕ) is from the branching fractions of the B+→D+sD¯¯¯0 normalization mode and intermediate resonance decays. Upper limits are also set for the branching fractions of the related decay modes B+(c)→D+(s)K∗0,B+(c)→D+(s)K¯¯¯∗0 and B+c→D+sϕ , including the result B(B+→D+K∗0)<1.8×10−6 at the 90% credibility level
Precise predictions for h_a --> h_b h_c decays in the complex MSSM

Complete one-loop results for the decay widths of neutral Higgs bosons (h_a)
into lighter neutral Higgs bosons (h_b, h_c) are presented for the MSSM with
complex parameters. The results are obtained in the Feynman-diagrammatic
approach, taking into account the full dependence on the spectrum of
supersymmetric particles and all complex phases of the supersymmetric
parameters. The genuine triple-Higgs vertex contributions are supplemented with
two-loop propagator-type corrections, yielding the currently most precise
prediction for this class of processes. The genuine vertex corrections turn out
to be very important, yielding a large increase of the decay width compared to
a prediction based on the tree-level vertex. The new results are used to
analyse the impact of the experimental limits from the LEP Higgs searches on
the parameter space with a very light MSSM Higgs boson. It is found that a
significant part of the parameter space of the CPX benchmark scenario exists
where channels involving the decay h_2 --> h_1 h_1 have the highest search
sensitivity, and the existence of an unexcluded region with M_{h_1} \approx 45
GeV is confirmed.Comment: 16 pages, minor corrections, version accepted in Physics Letters
Learning about the strongly interacting symmetry-breaking sector at the LHC

In the present work we study the predictions for WZ and ZZ production at the LHC with the Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian (EChL) approach. Our analysis will be focused on the less favored case from the experimental point of view, in which the predictions for the gauge bosons scattering amplitudes are considered in the low energy range where, by construction of the low energy approach, they reveal no resonant behavior. The study includes the complete set of amplitudes for all the polarization states of the initial and/or final gauge bosons and makes no use of the Equivalence Theorem. We express the results in terms of the range of values of the chiral parameters that will be accessible at the LHC
Global and regional burden of first-ever ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke during 1990-2010 : findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

Funding: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.Background: The burden of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke varies between regions and over time. With differences in prognosis, prevalence of risk factors, and treatment strategies, knowledge of stroke pathological type is important for targeted region-specific health-care planning for stroke and could inform priorities for type-specific prevention strategies. We used data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010) to estimate the global and regional burden of first-ever ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke during 1990-2010.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe
Intelligence and negation biases on the Conditional Inference Task: a dual-processes analysis

This article was published in the journal Thinking and Reasoning [© Taylor and Francis]. The definitive version is available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13546783.2014.897254We examined a large set of conditional inference data compiled from several previous studies and asked three questions: How is normative performance related to intelligence? Does negative conclusion bias stem from Type 1 or Type 2 processing? Does implicit negation bias stem from Type 1 or Type 2 processing? Our analysis demonstrated that rejecting denial of the antecedent and affirmation of the consequent inferences was positively correlated with intelligence, while endorsing modus tollens inferences was not; that the occurrence of negative conclusion bias was related to the extent of Type 2 processing; and that the occurrence of implicit negation bias was not related to the extent of Type 2 processing. We conclude that negative conclusion bias is, at least in part, a product of Type 2 processing, while implicit negation bias is not
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the $Z$ boson pair production
  at the LHC in Randall Sundrum model

The first results on next-to-leading order QCD corrections to production of
two $Z$ bosons in hadronic collisions in the extra dimension model of Randall
and Sundrum are presented. Various kinematical distributions are obtained to
order $\alpha_s$ in QCD by taking into account all the parton level
subprocesses. We estimate the impact of the QCD corrections on various
observables and find that they are significant. We also show the reduction in
factorization scale uncertainty when ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ effects are included.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
Singularities on the boundary of the stability domain near 1:1 resonance

We study the linear differential equation x' = Lx in 1:1 resonance. That is,
x in R^4 and L is a 4 by 4 matrix with a semi-simple double pair of imaginary
eigenvalues (ib,-ib,ib,-ib). We wish to find all perturbations of this linear
system such that the perturbed system is stable. Since linear differential
equations are in one to one correspondence with linear maps we translate this
problem to gl(4,R). In this setting our aim is to determine the stability
domain and the singularities of its boundary. The dimension of gl(4,R) is 16,
therefore we first reduce the dimension as far as possible. Here we use a
versal unfolding of L ie a transverse section of the orbit of L under the
adjoint action of Gl(4,R). Repeating a similar procedure in the versal
unfolding we are able to reduce the dimension to 4. A 3-sphere in this
4-dimensional space contains all information about the neighborhood of L in
gl(4,R). In this 3-sphere the boundary of the stability domain is a surface
with singularities: transverse self-intersections, Whitney umbrellas and an
intersection of self-intersections where the surface has a self-tangency.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figure
A Rainich-like approach to the Killing-Yano tensors

The Rainich problem for the Killing-Yano tensors posed by Collinson
\cite{col} is solved. In intermediate steps, we first obtain the necessary and
sufficient conditions for a 2+2 almost-product structure to determine the
principal 2--planes of a skew-symmetric Killing-Yano tensor and then we give
the additional conditions on a symmetric Killing tensor for it to be the square
of a Killing-Yano tensor.We also analyze a similar problem for the conformal
Killing-Yano and the conformal Killing tensors. Our results show that, in both
cases, the principal 2--planes define a maxwellian structure. The associated
Maxwell fields are obtained and we outline how this approach is of interest in
studying the spacetimes that admit these kind of first integrals of the
geodesic equation.Comment: 19 pages, 0 figure
Measurement of the longitudinal and transverse cross-section in e^+e^-
  annihilation at sqrt(s)=35-44 GeV

An investigation of the polar angle distribution of charged hadrons is
presented using data taken by the JADE experiment at the PETRA e^+e^- collider
at centre-of-mass energies of 35 and 44 GeV. From fits to the polar angle
distribution the longitudinal, sigma_L, and transverse, sigma_T, cross-section
relative to the total hadronic are determined at an average energy scale of
36.6 GeV. The results are sigma_L/sigma_tot = 0.067 +/- 0.013,
sigma_T/sigma_tot = 0.933 -/+ 0.013 where total errors are given and the
results are exactly anti-correlated. Using the next-to-leading order QCD
prediction for the longitudinal cross-section, the value alpha_S(36.6 GeV) =
0.150 +/- 0.025 of the strong coupling constant is obtained in agreement with
the world average value of alpha_S evolved to an energy scale of 36.6 GeV.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX2e, 5 .eps-files included, pennames.sty included,

Search for the B_c Meson in Hadronic Z^0 Decays

A search for decays of the B_c meson was performed using data collected from
1990-1995 with the OPAL detector on or near the Z peak at LEP. The decay
channels B_c^+ -> J/psi pi^+, B_c^+ -> J/psi a_1^+ and B_c^+ -> J/psi ell^+ nu
were investigated, where ell denotes an electron or a muon. Two candidates are
observed in the mode B_c^+ -> J/psi pi^+, with an estimated background of (0.63
+/- 0.20) events. The weighted mean of the masses of the two candidates is
(6.32 +/- 0.06) GeV/c^2, which is consistent with the predicted mass of the B_c
meson. One candidate event is observed in the mode B_c^+ -> J/psi ell^+ nu with
an estimated background of (0.82 +/- 0.19) events. No candidate events are
observed in the B_c^+ -> J/psi a_1^+ decay mode, with an estimated background
of (1.10 +/- 0.22) events. Upper bounds at the 90% confidence level are set on
the production rates for these processes.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, uses a4p.sty, 6 eps figures included, submitted to

Critical properties of the Antiferromagnetic \RP2$ model in three
  dimensions

We study the behavior of the antiferromagnetic RP$^2$ model in $d=3$. The
vacuum structure is analyzed in the critical and low temperature regions,
paying special attention to the spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern. Near the
critical point we observe a full breakdown of the O(3) symmetry of the action.
Several methods for computing critical exponents are compared. We conclude that
the most solid determination is obtained using a measure of the correlation
length. Corrections-to-scaling are parameterized, yielding a very accurate
determination of the critical coupling and a 5\% error measure of the related
exponent. This is used to estimate the systematic errors due to finite-size
effects.Comment: 31 pages, 10 postscript figure
Prospects of `Topologically Unquenched QCD' from a study of the
  analogous importance sampling method in the massive Schwinger model

I give a quick summary of my proposal for simulating an improvement on
quenched QCD with dynamical fermions which interact with the gluon
configuration only via the topological index of the latter. It amounts to
include only the topological part of the functional determinant into the
measure, thereby absorbing a correction factor into the observable. I discuss
the prospects of this concept from a study in the massive $N_f$-flavour
Schwinger model, where the correction factor is indeed found to be of order
$O(1)$.Comment: contribution to LATTICE99, 3 pages, LaTeX with 3 figures,

Detection, size, measurement and structural analysis limits for the
  2MASS, UKIDSS-LAS & VISTA VIKING surveys

The 2MASS, UKIDSS-LAS and VISTA VIKING surveys have all now observed the GAMA
9hr region in the $K_s$ band. Here we compare the detection rates, photometry,
basic size measurements, and single-component GALFIT structural measurements
for a sample of 37,591 galaxies. We explore the sensitivity limits where the
data agree for a variety of issues including: detection, star-galaxy
separation, photometric measurements, size and ellipticity measurements, and
S\'{e}rsic measurements. We find that 2MASS fails to detect at least 20% of the
galaxy population within all magnitude bins, however for those that are
detected we find photometry is robust ($\pm$ 0.2 mag) to 14.7 AB mag and
star-galaxy separation to 14.8 AB mag. For UKIDSS-LAS we find incompleteness
starts to enter at a flux limit of 18.9 AB mag, star-galaxy separation is
robust to 16.3 AB mag and structural measurements are robust to 17.7 AB mag.
VISTA VIKING data is complete to approximately 20.0 AB mag and structural
measurements appear robust to 18.8 AB mag.Comment: 16 pages, 15 figures, 7 tables. Accepted for publication in

The role of Glauber Exchange in Soft Collinear Effective Theory and the
  Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov Equation

In soft collinear effective theory (SCET) the interaction between high energy
quarks moving in opposite directions involving momentum transfer much smaller
than the center-of-mass energy is described by the Glauber interaction operator
which has two-dimensional Coulomb-like behavior. Here, we determine this
$n$-$\bar{n}$ collinear Glauber interaction operator and consider its
renormalization properties at one loop. At this order a rapidity divergence
appears which gives rise to an infrared divergent (IR) rapidity anomalous
dimension commonly called the gluon Regge trajectory. We then go on to consider
the forward quark scattering cross section in SCET. The emission of real soft
gluons from the Glauber interaction gives rise to the Lipatov vertex. Squaring
and adding the real and virtual amplitudes results in a cancelation of IR
divergences, however the rapidity divergence remains. We introduce a rapidity
counterterm to cancel the rapidity divergence, and derive a rapidity
renormalization group equation which is the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov
Equation. This connects Glauber interactions with the emergence of Regge
behavior in SCET.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
Four species neutrino oscillations at $\nu$-Factory: sensitivity and
  CP-violation

The prospects of measuring the leptonic angles and CP-odd phases at a {\em
neutrino factory} are discussed in the scenario of three active plus one
sterile neutrino. We consider the $\nu_\mu \raw \nu_e$ LSND signal. Its
associated large mass difference leads to observable neutrino oscillations at
short ($\sim 1$ km) baseline experiments. Sensitivities to the leptonic angles
down to $10^{-3}$ can be easily achieved with a 1 Ton detector. Longer baseline
experiments ($\sim 100$ km) with a 1 Kton detector can provide very clean tests
of CP-violation especially through tau lepton detection.Comment: 15 pages, LaTeX2e, 14 eps files, use package epsfi
Variational Perturbation Theory for Summing Divergent Non-Borel-Summable
  Tunneling Amplitudes

We present a method for evaluating divergent non-Borel-summable series by an
analytic continuation of variational perturbation theory. We demonstrate the
power of the method by an application to the exactly known partition function
of the anharmonic oscillator in zero spacetime dimensions. In one spacetime
dimension we derive the imaginary part of the ground state energy of the
anharmonic oscillator for {\em all negative values of the coupling constant
$g$, including the nonanalytic tunneling regime at small-$g$. As a highlight of
the theory we retrieve from the divergent perturbation expansion the action of
the critical bubble and the contribution of the higher loop fluctuations around
the bubble.Comment: Author Information under
