Race matters: whether we know it, or like it, or not: implicit racial attitudes and their effect on accounting-based, balanced scorecard performance evaluations
One of the dominant themes in critical accounting theory over the past two decades has to do with the relation between the construction of human identities and accounting discourse and practices. Though with strong antecedents in Marxist –inspired critique of ideology, genealogical studies (e.g., Miller & O’Leary, 19XX), deconstructive studies (e.g., Shearer & Arrington, 19XX), and critical-rational studies (e.g., Power & Laughlin, 19XX) are examples of different theoretical and methodological ways to probe the constructive force of accounting over human identity and subjectivity. This paper offers a fourth approach grounded in social-cognitive concerns with ways in which implicit attitudes, or more broadly tacit habits of mind, enhance our tendencies to let rationally irrelevant criteria (like race, gender, and class) influence our evaluation of others. The paper reports on the results of an empirical, lab-based study of balanced scorecard evaluations and bonus allocations where race is a treatment effect and where the well-established tenets of Implicit Association Testing (IAT) are used to reveal that there are, indeed, propensities to unwillingly let racial prejudice enter into our accounting-based evaluations of others. These tendencies are more pronounced for some dimensions of the balanced scorecard than they are for others
Momentum Transfer Dependence of Nuclear Transparency from the Quasielastic ^(12)C(e, e'p) Reaction
The cross section for quasielastic ^(12)C(e,e’p) scattering has been measured at momentum transfer Q^2=1, 3, 5, and 6.8 (GeV/c)^2. The results are consistent with scattering from a single nucleon as the dominant process. The nuclear transparency is obtained and compared with theoretical calculations that incorporate color transparency effects. No significant rise of the transparency with Q^2 is observed
Neutron Structure Functions
Neutron structure functions can be extracted from proton and deuteron data
and a representation of the deuteron structure. This procedure does not require
DIS approximations or quark structure assumptions. We find that the results
depend critically on properly accounting for the Q^2 dependence of proton and
deuteron data. We interpolate the data to fixed Q^2, and extract the ratio of
neutron to proton structure functions. The extracted ratio decreases with
increasing x, up to x \approx 0.9, while there are no data available to
constrain the behavior at larger x.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figure
Evidence for virtual Compton scattering from the proton
In virtual Compton scattering an electron is scattered off a nucleon such that the nucleon emits a photon. We show that these events can be selected experimentally, and present the first evidence for virtual Compton scattering from the proton in data obtained at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The angular and energy dependence of the data is well described by a calculation that includes the coherent sum of electron and proton radiation
Asymptotic estimation of some multiple integrals and the electromagnetic deuteron form factors at high momentum transfer
A theorem about asymptotic estimation of multiple integral of a special type
is proved for the case when the integrand peaks at the integration domain
bound, but not at a point of extremum. Using this theorem the asymptotic
expansion of the electromagnetic deuteron form factors at high momentum
transfers is obtained in the framework of two-nucleon model in both
nonrelativistic and relativistic impulse approximations. It is found that
relativistic effects slow down the decrease of deuteron form factors and result
in agreement between the relativistic asymptotics and experimental data at high
momentum transfers.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figur
Measurement of the EMC Effect in the Deuteron
We determined the structure function ratio RdEMC=Fd2/(Fn2+Fp2) from recently published Fn2/Fd2 data taken by the BONuS experiment using CLAS at Jefferson Lab. This ratio deviates from unity, with a slope dRdEMC/dx=−0.10 ± 0.05 in the range of Bjorken x from 0.35 to 0.7, for invariant mass W\u3e1.4 GeV and Q2\u3e1 GeV2 . The observed EMC effect for these kinematics is consistent with conventional nuclear physics models that include off-shell corrections, as well as with empirical analyses that find the EMC effect proportional to the probability of short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations
All electromagnetic form factors
The electromagnetic form factors of spin-1/2 particles are known, but due to
historical reasons only half of them are found in many textbooks. Given the
importance of the general result, its model independence, its connection to
discrete symmetries and their violations we made an effort to derive and
present the general result based only on the knowledge of Dirac equation. We
discuss the phenomenology connected directly with the form factors, and spin
precession in external fields including time reversal violating terms. We apply
the formalism to spin-flip synchrotron radiation and suggest pedagogical
projects.Comment: Latex, 22 page
Aero-Thermal Calibration of the NASA Glenn Icing Research Tunnel (2004 and 2005 Tests)
A full aero-thermal calibration of the NASA Glenn Icing Research Tunnel was completed in 2004 following the replacement of the inlet guide vanes upstream of the tunnel drive system and improvement to the facility total temperature instrumentation. This calibration test provided data used to fully document the aero-thermal flow quality in the IRT test section and to construct calibration curves for the operation of the IRT. The 2004 test was also the first to use the 2-D RTD array, an improved total temperature calibration measurement platform
