Coulomb energy calculations for the lowest 0+ , T = 2 state in A = 16 nuclei allow tight constraints on the masses of the lowest 1/2+ , T = 3/2 state in 15O and 15F, and of the 0+ , T = 2 state in 16F.

The Pierre Auger Observatory, recently completed, has been operational since 2004. As a hybrid experiment, it allows for a wide range of measurements of UHECR-induced extensive air showers (EAS), including measurements of the EAS particle content on ground which is sensitive to high-energy hadronic interactions. We present the results of several independent measurements of the EAS muon content ...

We use a weak-coupling procedure and results of a shell-model calculation to compute the two-proton separation energy of 19Mg. Our result is at the upper end of the previous range, but 19Mg is still bound for single proton decay to 18Na. We also calculate the 2p decay width.

Hybridity has become a master trope across many spheres of cultural research, theory, and criticism, and one of the most widely used and criticized concepts in postcolonial theory. This article begins with a thorough review of the interdisciplinary scholarship on hybridity. Then it revisits the trope of hybridity in the context of a series of articles on cultural globalization published in the ...

‘Agency in The God of Small Things?’ Surprise may well be readers’ first reaction to this thought as they recall the series of relentless tragic events that befall the chief characters of this novel. To commence this seemingly unjustified mission, I shall consider the kind and scale of agency one finds in Roy’s political writings. I adopt this procedure because Roy herself, in an interview with...

A child with many symptoms of trisomy 22 syndrome is described. The child showed a 46,XY/47,XY,+22 chromosome constitution. This is the first reported case of a trisome 22 phenotype with such a mosaic karyotype.
