Nonperturbative Vertices in Supersymmetric Quantum Electrodynamics
We derive the complete set of supersymmetric Ward identities involving only
two- and three- point proper vertices in supersymmetric QED. We also present
the most general form of the proper vertices consistent with both the
supersymmetric and U(1) gauge Ward identities. These vertices are the
supersymmetric equivalent of the non supersymmetric Ball-Chiu vertices.Comment: seventeen pages late
Photometric and spectroscopic gamma-ray observations of solar transient phenomena using long duration balloons
A program currently in progress to conduct extended duration spectroscopic and photometric observation of solar X-ray phenomena from balloons is described. High photometric sensitivity to weak hard X-ray bursts is attained using a 600 sq cm array of phoswich scintillators. High spectral resolution for stronger bursts is available from an array of planar germanium detectors. These instruments are carried in a novel balloon gondola dssigned for the 15 to 20 day float durations available through using conventional zero pressure balloons in the radiation controlled (RACOON) mode
Exact properties of Frobenius numbers and fraction of the symmetric semigroups in the weak limit for n=3
We generalize and prove a hypothesis by V. Arnold on the parity of Frobenius
number. For the case of symmetric semigroups with three generators of Frobenius
numbers we found an exact formula, which in a sense is the sum of two
Sylvester's formulaes. We prove that the fraction of the symmetric semigroups
is vanishing in the weak limit
Prevalence of disordered eating, eating disorders and risk of low energy availability in professional, competitive and recreational female athletes based in the United Kingdom
Eating disorders (ED), disordered eating (DE) and low energy availability (LEA) can be detrimental to health and performance. Previous studies have independently investigated the prevalence of ED, DE or LEA; however, few combined methods have identified risk within female athletes. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of ED, DE and LEA in UK-based female athletes and investigate whether associations exist between age, competition level and primary sport.The Female Athlete Screening Tool (FAST) and Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) were used in a cross-sectional study design. A total of 112 responses eligible for analysis were received. A total of 16%, 44% and 53% of female athletes were at risk of ED (FAST:>94), DE and LEA, respectively. Competition level (recreational, competitive or professional athletes; fishers, p ≤ 0.05) influenced and was a predictor of FAST (R2= 0.076, F(1,110) = 10.067, p ≤ 0.05, variance inflation value; VIF = 1.0) whereas age influenced (age: H(2) = 13.128, p ≤ 0.05), and was a predictor (R2 = 0.144, F(2,109) = 9.170, p ≤ 0.05, VIF = 1.0) of LEAF-Q. A positive correlation was observed between FAST and LEAF-Q scores (R = 0.496, p ≤ 0.05). Age and competition level may be predicting risk factors of ED/DE and LEA within female athletes; however, further research is required to support the findings of this present study
The Lightest Pseudo-Goldstone Boson at Future e+e- Colliders
In a class of models of dynamical symmetry breaking not ruled out by the
available data, the lightest neutral pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson P0 contains
only down-type techniquarks and charged technileptons. Its mass scale is
naturally determined by the b-quark and therefore it is likely to be light. As
the presence of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons in models of dynamical symmetry
breaking is a quite general feature, the search of the P0 at colliders is an
interesting opportunity of putting limits on or discovering a dynamical
electroweak symmetry breaking scenario. In this note we discuss the prospects
for discovering and studying the P0 at future e+e- and gamma-gamma colliders.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures, LaTeX (epsfig), Proceedings of the Second

Perfect category-graded algebras
In a perfect category every object has a minimal projective resolution. We
give a criterion for the category of modules over a categorygraded algebra to
be perfect.Comment: A sufficient condition is replaced by a criterion. Several references
added. 17 page
Soiling experiment
The losses that occur annually to our farmers from the drying up of their pastures in July, August, and September, induced us to grow a few acres of green feed, and ascertain to what extent such feed, of different kinds, can be had from an acre of land; how much a cow requires of each kind, and the effect of such feeding on quantity and quality of milk, compared with well watered, well shaded, good blue grass pastures.
Our dairies are mostly idle because the cows have gone dry. and the cows have gone dry because their pastures have failed and provision was not made on a large majority of farms to furnish them with something on which they could give milk. A succession of dry summers has regularly shortened our pastures, and made cows unprofitable, when all the elements of growth are present except moisture, or an arrangement of different crops sown at different times so that some one may always be at its best for cutting for green feed
CFT fusion rules, DHR gauge groups, and CAR algebras
It is demonstrated that several series of conformal field theories, while
satisfying braid group statistics, can still be described in the conventional
setting of the DHR theory, i.e. their superselection structure can be
understood in terms of a compact DHR gauge group. Besides theories with only
simple sectors, these include (the untwisted part of) c=1 orbifold theories and
level two so(N) WZW theories. We also analyze the relation between these models
and theories of complex free fermions.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX2
Adding Soft-Skills to the Hard Target of Adequacy: The Case for Rearticulation Based on a Multifocal Analysis
The purpose of this study is to expand the definition of adequacy by adding soft skills as a measure of school productivity. The singular focus on academic standards inherent in education policy has prevented scholars from seeing the concept of adequacy through myriad perspectives and has contributed to a resegregation of schools. Education policy includes legal, historical, and political perspectives; research inquiries must accommodate these multiple foci. This study made use of multifocal analysis to investigate the development of the concept of adequacy in South Carolina. Conclusions suggest an expanded definition of adequacy has potential for addressing school financing policy, but also for making historical, political and legal contributions to educational and economic policies aimed at repurposing schools
