Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs):Policies and Practices for Prevention and Intervention
Programs and policies outlined below have been shown to address risk and protective factors for ACEs within family, relationship, community and social environments. They provide examples of cross-sector strategies that can contribute to increased child well-being in New Mexico by supporting stable, safe and nurturing relationships

Testing models with non-minimal Higgs sector through the decay t->q+WZ
We study the contribution of charged Higgs boson to the rare decay of the top
quark t->q+WZ (q=d,s,b) in models with Higgs sector that includes doublets and
triplets. Higgs doublets are needed to couple charged Higgs with quarks,
whereas the Higgs triplets are required to generate the non-standard vertex HWZ
at tree-level. It is found that within a model that respect the custodial SU(2)
symmetry and avoids flavour changing neutral currents by imposing discrete
symmetries, the decay mode t->b+WZ, can reach a branching ratio of order
0.0178, whereas the decay modes t->(d,s)+WZ, can reach a similar branching
ratio in models where flavour changing neutral currents are suppressed by
flavour symmetries.Comment: Typeset using REVTEX and EPSF, 5 pag, 2 figure

Hydrogen slush density reference system
A hydrogen slush density reference system was designed for calibration of field-type instruments and/or transfer standards. The device is based on the buoyancy principle of Archimedes. The solids are weighed in a low-mass container so arranged that solids and container are buoyed by triple-point liquid hydrogen during the weighing process. Several types of hydrogen slush density transducers were developed and tested for possible use as transfer standards. The most successful transducers found were those which depend on change in dielectric constant, after which the Clausius-Mossotti function is used to relate dielectric constant and density
Inducing charges and currents from extra dimensions
In a particular variant of Kaluza-Klein theory, the so-called induced-matter
theory (IMT), it is shown that any configuration of matter may be geometrically
induced from a five-dimensional vacuum space. By using a similar approach we
show that any distribution of charges and currents may also be induced from a
five-dimensional vacuum space. Whereas in the case of IMT the geometry is
Riemannian and the fundamental equations are the five-dimensional Einstein
equations in vacuum, here we consider a Minkowskian geometry and the
five-dimensional Maxwell equations in vacuum.Comment: 8 pages. Accepted for publication in Modern Physics Letters

The Luminosity Function of Low-Redshift Abell Galaxy Clusters
We present the results from a survey of 57 low-redshift Abell galaxy clusters
to study the radial dependence of the luminosity function (LF). The dynamical
radius of each cluster, r200, was estimated from the photometric measurement of
cluster richness, Bgc. The shape of the LFs are found to correlate with radius
such that the faint-end slope, alpha, is generally steeper on the cluster
outskirts. The sum of two Schechter functions provides a more adequate fit to
the composite LFs than a single Schechter function. LFs based on the selection
of red and blue galaxies are bimodal in appearance. The red LFs are generally
flat for -22 < M_Rc < -18, with a radius-dependent steepening of alpha for M_Rc
> -18. The blue LFs contain a larger contribution from faint galaxies than the
red LFs. The blue LFs have a rising faint-end component (alpha ~ -1.7) for M_Rc
> -21, with a weaker dependence on radius than the red LFs. The dispersion of
M* was determined to be 0.31 mag, which is comparable to the median measurement
uncertainty of 0.38 mag. This suggests that the bright-end of the LF is
universal in shape at the 0.3 mag level. We find that M* is not correlated with
cluster richness when using a common dynamical radius. Also, we find that M* is
weakly correlated with BM-type such that later BM-type clusters have a brighter
M*. A correlation between M* and radius was found for the red and blue galaxies
such that M* fades towards the cluster center.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ, 16 pages, 4 tables, 24 figure
