Magic angle effects in the interlayer magnetoresistance of quasi-one-dimensional metals due to interchain incoherence
The dependence of the magnetoresistance of quasi-one-dimensional metals on
the direction of the magnetic field show dips when the field is tilted at the
so called magic angles determined by the structural dimensions of the
materials. There is currently no accepted explanation for these magic angle
effects. We present a possible explanation. Our model is based on the
assumption that, the intralayer transport in the second most conducting
direction has a small contribution from incoherent electrons. This incoherence
is modelled by a small uncertainty in momentum perpendicular to the most
conducting (chain) direction. Our model predicts the magic angles seen in
interlayer transport measurements for different orientations of the field. We
compare our results to predictions by other models and to experiment.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, Submitted To Phys. Rev.
Administrative Law—New Judicial Remedy Under APA
In Deering Milliken, Inc. v. Johnston, the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held that a district court had jurisdiction to enjoin a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board from proceeding with certain further hearings that the Board had ordered. The court of appeals decided that the plaintiff was not precluded from turning to the district court for protection of its rights, because there were no administrative remedies available

Reach the person behind the dementia: physical therapists' reflections and strategies when composing physical training
Dementia is a disease characterized by cognitive impairment and physical decline that worsens over time. Exercise is one lifestyle factor that has been identified as a potential means of reducing or delaying progression of the symptoms of dementia, maximizing function and independence. The purpose of this study was to explore physical therapists' (PTs) experiences and reflections on facilitating high-intensity functional exercise with older people living with dementia, in residential care home settings. The study used a qualitative design based on interviews, individually or in small groups, with seven PTs engaged as leaders in the training of older people with dementia. The interviews were analyzed with a modified Grounded Theory method with focus on constant comparisons. To increase trustworthiness the study used triangulation within investigators and member checking. The core category "Discover and act in the moment-learn over time" reflects how the PTs continuously developed their own learning in an iterative process. They built on previous knowledge to communicate with residents and staff and to tailor the high intensity training in relation to each individual at that time point. The category "Be on your toes" highlights how the PTs searched for sufficient information about each individual, before and during training, by eliciting the person's current status from staff and by interpreting the person's body language. The category "Build a bond with a palette of strategies" describes the importance of confirmation to build up trust and the use of group members and the room to create an interplay between exercise and social interaction. These findings highlight the continuous iterative process of building on existing knowledge, sharing and reflecting, being alert to any alterations needed for individuals that day, communication skills (both with residents and staff) and building a relationship and trust with residents in the effective delivery of high intensity functional exercise to older people living with dementia in care settings
The RHIC Zero Degree Calorimeter
High Energy collisions of nuclei usually lead to the emission of evaporation
neutrons from both ``beam'' and ``target'' nuclei. At the RHIC heavy ion
collider with 100GeV/u beam energy, evaporation neutrons diverge by less than
milliradians from the beam axis Neutral beam fragments can be detected
downstream of RHIC ion collisions (and a large aperture Accelerator dipole
magnet) if 4 mr but charged fragments in the same angular range
are usually too close to the beam trajectory.
In this 'zero degree' region produced particles and other secondaries deposit
negligible energy when compared with that of beam fragmentation neutrons.
The purpose of the RHIC zero degree calorimeters (ZDC's) is to detect
neutrons emitted within this cone along both beam directions and measure their
total energy (from which we calculate multiplicity). The ZDC coincidence of the
2 beam directions is a minimal bias selection of heavy ion collisions. This
makes it useful as an event trigger and a luminosity monitor\cite{baltz} and
for this reason we built identical detectors for all 4 RHIC experiments.
The neutron multiplicity is also known to be correlated with event geometry
\cite{appel} and will be used to measure collision centrality in mutual beam
int eractions.Comment: 18 pages, 12 figure
