The proton spin sum rule chiral bag prediction, an update
We reevaluate a quark model prediction using the new QCD evolution function
calculated to the 3 loop order and conclude that this model compares favorably
with the new experimental results.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures available by request, give fax numbe
Q^2-Evolution of Nucleon's Chiral-Odd Twist-3 Structure Function: h_L(x,Q^2)
We investigate the -evolution of the chiral-odd spin-dependent parton
distribution relevant for the polarized Drell-Yan processes.
The results are obtained in the leading logarithmic order in the framework of
the renormalization group and the standard QCD perturbation theory. We
calculate the anomalous dimension matrix for the twist-3 operators for
in the one-loop order. The operator mixing among the relevant twist-3 operators
including the operators proportional to the QCD equations of motion is treated
properly in a consistent scheme. Implications for future experiments are also
discussed.Comment: HUPD-9419, Latex file, 21 pages, 7 figures available on reques
A lattice calculation of the nucleon's spin-dependent structure function g_2 revisited
Our previous calculation of the spin-dependent structure function g_2 is
revisited. The interest in this structure function is to a great extent
motivated by the fact that it receives contributions from twist-two as well as
from twist-three operators already in leading order of 1/Q^2 thus offering the
unique possibility of directly assessing higher-twist effects. In our former
calculation the lattice operators were renormalized perturbatively and mixing
with lower-dimensional operators was ignored. However, the twist-three operator
which gives rise to the matrix element d_2 mixes non-perturbatively with an
operator of lower dimension. Taking this effect into account leads to a
considerably smaller value of d_2, which is consistent with the experimental
data.Comment: 25 pages, 11 figure
Deuteron Electroweak Disintegration
We study the deuteron electrodisintegration with inclusion of the neutral
currents focusing on the helicity asymmetry of the exclusive cross section in
coplanar geometry. We stress that a measurement of this asymmetry in the quasi
elastic region is of interest for an experimental determination of the weak
form factors of the nucleon, allowing one to obtain the parity violating
electron neutron asymmetry. Numerically, we consider the reaction at low
momentum transfer and discuss the sensitivity of the helicity asymmetry to the
strangeness radius and magnetic moment. The problems coming from the finite
angular acceptance of the spectrometers are also considered.Comment: 30 pages, Latex, 7 eps figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.C e-mail:

Leading and higher twists in the proton polarized structure function at large Bjorken x
A phenomenological parameterization of the proton polarized structure
function has been developed for x > 0.02 using deep inelastic data up to ~ 50
(GeV/c)**2 as well as available experimental results on both photo- and
electro-production of proton resonances. According to the new parameterization
the generalized Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rule is predicted to have a
zero-crossing point at Q**2 = 0.16 +/- 0.04 (GeV/c)**2. Then, low-order
polarized Nachtmann moments have been estimated and their Q**2-behavior has
been investigated in terms of leading and higher twists for Q**2 > 1
(GeV/c)**2. The leading twist has been treated at NLO in the strong coupling
constant and the effects of higher orders of the perturbative series have been
estimated using soft-gluon resummation techniques. In case of the first moment
higher-twist effects are found to be quite small for Q**2 > 1 (GeV/c)**2, and
the singlet axial charge has been determined to be a0[10 (GeV/c)**2] = 0.16 +/-
0.09. In case of higher order moments, which are sensitive to the large-x
region, higher-twist effects are significantly reduced by the introduction of
soft gluon contributions, but they are still relevant at Q**2 ~ few (GeV/c)**2
at variance with the case of the unpolarized transverse structure function of
the proton. Our finding suggests that spin-dependent correlations among partons
may have more impact than spin-independent ones. As a byproduct, it is also
shown that the Bloom-Gilman local duality is strongly violated in the region of
polarized electroproduction of the Delta(1232) resonance.Comment: revised version to appear in Phys. Rev. D; extended discussion on the

The effectiveness of different explicit vocabulary-teaching strategies on learnersâ retention of technical and academic words
The effectiveness of explicit instruction, within the context of strategy development in learners, has been widely accepted for several years. However, the methods used within explicit vocabulary instruction are varied and comparatively few studies have directly compared methods. This study investigates the type of instruction (in a visual or written context) as well as the timing of the activity (before or after the main activity). Seventy Arabic learners of English were tested in a 2*2 design. Results showed a positive effect for pre-teaching vocabulary in a visual condition. We conclude that this pre-emptive multimodal approach heightens the learnersâ ability to notice vocabulary items thus providing an effective strategy to increase vocabulary intake
Strange Hadronic Loops of the Proton: A Quark Model Calculation
Nontrivial sea effects have their origin in the low- dynamics
of strong QCD. We present here a quark model calculation of the contribution of
pairs arising from a {\it complete} set of OZI-allowed strong
hadronic loops to the net spin of the proton, to its charge radius,
and to its magnetic moment. The calculation is performed in an ``unquenched
quark model" which has been shown to preserve the spectroscopic successes of
the naive quark model and to respect the OZI rule. We speculate that an
extension of the calculation to the nonstrange sea will show that most of the
``missing spin" of the proton is in orbital angular momenta.Comment: revtex, 34 pages, 4 figure
