Some examples of Mahler measures as multiple polylogarithms
The Mahler measures of certain polynomials of up to five variables are given
in terms of multiple polylogarithms. Each formula is homogeneous and its weight
coincides with the number of variables of the corresponding polynomial.Comment: 21 pages, 1 figur
Mahler measure of some n-variable polynomial families
The Mahler measures of some n-variable polynomial families are given in terms
of special values of the Riemann zeta function and a Dirichlet L-series,
generalizing the results of \cite{L}. The technique introduced in this work
also motivates certain identities among Bernoulli numbers and symmetric
functions
Tempered Fermions in the Hybrid Monte Carlo Algorithm
Parallel tempering simulates at many quark masses simultaneously, by changing
the mass during the simulation while remaining in equilibrium. The algorithm is
faster than pure HMC if more than one mass is needed, and works better the
smaller the smallest mass is.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Combined proceedings for Lattice 97, Edinburgh

Remarks on Form Factor Bounds
Improved model independent upper bounds on the weak transition form factors
are derived using inclusive sum rules. Comparison of the new bounds with the
old ones is made for the form factors h_{A_1} and h_V in B -> D* decays.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, title changed and typos corrected for journal

Coping and Emotional Intelligence in Women with a History of Eating Disordered Behavior
Eating disorders pose a serious problem in our society. Studies have found that there is a negative correlation between eating disorders and emotional coping mechanisms, a factor of emotional intelligence (EI). This study was designed to discover if women who have a history of eating disorders resemble women who report no current or past history of eating disorders and women with current eating problems. Participants included 157 college females. It was found that women who reported a history of eating problems resembled the control group on most measures
Making science count in government
Science is an essential component of policy-making in most areas of government, but the scientific community does not always understand its role in this process.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe
