The current study evaluated the use of various behavioral measures of running away with regard to (a) the differential utility of interval- versus event-based measures, (b) the differential utility of rate versus duration measures, (c) the utility of correcting for occurrence opportunity, and (d) the influence of unit of analysis (i.e., single-subject vs. grouped data). Seven different baseline...

We report the serendipitous detection with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of a long and peculiar X-ray burst whose localization is consistent with one known X-ray burster (GRS 1747-312) and which occurred when that source was otherwise quiescent. The peculiar feature concerns a strong radius expansion of the neutron star photosphere, which occurred not within a few seconds from the start of th...

Abstract OB stars powering stellar bowshock nebulae (SBNe) have been presumed to large peculiar velocities. We measured velocities of SBN central assess their kinematics relative the general O-star population using Gaia EDR3 data for 267 and a sample 455 Galactic O derive projected v 2D . For subset each sample, we obtained new optical spectroscopy measure radial identify multiple-star systems....

We report a spectroscopic search for hypervelocity white dwarfs (WDs) that are runaways from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and related thermonuclear explosions. Candidates selected Gaia data with high tangential velocities blue colors. find six new runaways, including four stars radial (RVs) $>1000\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$ total space $\gtrsim 1300\,\rm km\,s^{-1}$. These most likely the surviving donors...

The article begins with the finding that studies on 'quilombos' in slave societies in the Americas have been relatively anodyne, not rarely placing in one sole category ('quilombos', 'cumbes', 'palenques', 'mainels', etc.) structures that might encompass anywhere from less than ten runaways, and last just weeks or months, or - as in the case of Palmares - bring together up to 11,000 'quilombola...

This paper presents lifetime and 12-month prevalence rates and comorbidity data for substance abuse disorders among homeless and runaway adolescents. Data are from baseline interviews of a longitudinal diagnostic study of 428 (187 males and 241 females) homeless and runaway adolescents aged 16 to 19 years (mean age = 17.4 year, SD = 1.05). The data were collected by full-time interviewers on th...

Parenthood is often thought of as a natural or instinctive process. With the birth of a baby, the parent is expected somehow to be fully equipped to raise a child with love and skill, Yet increasing awareness of the magnitude of such problems as child abuse and neglect, emotional disturbances in children, and adolescent pregnancies and runaways has forced the realization that parenthood is at b...

A new regime of runaway discharges has been observed in the TCABR tokamak. One of the most distinctive features of this regime is the e ect of plasma detachment from the limiter. This experimental fact can only be explained by the volume recombination, which requires a low-temperature plasma. The analysis of the energy and particle balance in the system plasma-relativistic runaway beam in TCABR...
