A recent experiment located the lowest 2+ state in 20Mg and discovered that the corresponding 2+, T = 2 state in 20F does not fit expectations of the isobaric multiplet mass equation without a d term.We have calculated the energies of the ground and 2+ states in 20Mg and the 2+ in 20F in a potential model, using shell-model spectroscopic factors. We conclude that this important 20F state has li...

The biological origins of automated patterns of human interaction are explored. Automated patterns of interaction are distinguished from deliberate patterns. Automated patterns consist of two particular types: stimulation regulation and emotional responsiveness. Evidence for the biological origins of these patterns is obtained by studying the early interactions of infants and neonates, surveyin...

The covalent bond, a difficult concept to define precisely, plays a central role in chemical predictions, interventions, and explanations. I investigate the structural conception of the covalent bond, which says that bonding is a directional, submolecular region of electron density, located between individual atomic centers and responsible for holding the atoms together. Several approaches to c...

sequence submissions becoming standard fare. Some scientists, however, are doing a messy job of their GenBank submission because they are in a hurry to get a GenBank accession number so that they can publish their sequence data in an academic journal (proof of GenBank submission is required by most publishers). The irony is that the GenBank entry for a given nucleotide sequence is often more im...

AIM To systematically review the evidence on the effectiveness of motor interventions for infants from birth to 2 years with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy or at high risk of it. METHOD Relevant literature was identified by searching journal article databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, Web of Knowledge, and PEDro). Selection criteria included infants between the ages of birth and 2 yea...

In this review essay Stanton Wortham explores how philosophy of education should both turn inward, engaging with concepts and arguments developed in academic philosophy, and outward, encouraging educational publics to apply philosophical approaches to educational policy and practice. He develops his account with reference to two recent ambitious projects: The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Ed...

We derive empirical many-body potentials for noble-metal alloy systems in the framework of the FinnisSinclair model [Philos. Mag. A 50, 45 (1984)] which is based on a second-moment approximation to the tight-binding density of states for transition metals [F. Cyrot, J. Phys. Chem. Solids 29, 1235 (1968)]. The most important extension of the model is a simple incorporation of interspecies intera...

I have examined the B(E2)’s in 12Be connecting the first 2+ state to the first two 0+ states. I find that they can be understood in the simple model that has been successful for a variety of other observables in this nucleus, but only if the 2+ state has an excited-core component. Disciplines Physical Sciences and Mathematics | Physics Comments Fortune, H. T. (2012). B(E2) Values in 12Be and Co...

There are few countries in the world where television is thought to be fulfilling its potential for the communication of culture and the illumination of public affairs: least of all is it doing so in new and small nations. Yet there is a tendency for people In each country to think that their problems are indigenous problems, that television is much better elsewhere. In some countries it is ass...
