Internal Jet Structure in Dijet Production in Deep-Inelastic Scattering
The internal jet structure in dijet production in deep-inelastic scattering
is measured with the H1 detector at HERA. Jets with transverse energies
E(T,breit) > 5 GeV are selected in the Breit frame employing kt and cone jet
algorithms in the kinematic region of squared momentum transfers of 10 < Q^2 <
120 GeV^2 and x-Bjorken values of 0.0002 < x < 0.008. Jet shapes and subjet
multiplicities are measured as functions of a resolution parameter. The
corrected data are well described by QCD models. It is observed that jets are
more collimated with increasing transverse jet energies and decreasing
pseudo-rapidities, i.e. towards the photon direction. Comparisons with OPAL
data show that jet shapes of jets measured in photon-photon collisions are very
similar to those measured in ep collisions.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in the proceedings of 7th

The mediatization of second-order elections and party launches: UK television news reporting of the 2014 European Union campaign
Using the United Kingdom as a case study to explore the degree to which news about a second-order election is mediatized, this comparative content analysis examines television news coverage of the 2014 European Union elections. Evidence of mediatization was stronger on the most commercially driven bulletins, with an overwhelming emphasis on the game frame and a more interpretive approach than the most public serviceâorientated broadcaster (the BBC). However, qualitative analysis revealed that the BBC pursued a more mediatized form of journalism. Developing a close textual analysis of how broadcasters reported party campaign launchesârepresenting what we call key âmediatized momentsââwe argue that a more qualitative approach to assessing media and political logics can complement comparative quantitative studies about mediatized politics
An Observational Study of Social Interaction Skills and Behaviors in Cornelia de Lange, Fragile X and Rubinstein-Taybi Syndromes
We directly assessed the broader aspects of sociability (social enjoyment, social motivation, social interaction skills and social discomfort) in individuals with Cornelia de Lange (CdLS), fragile X (FXS) and Rubinstein-Taybi syndromes (RTS), and their association with autism characteristics and chronological age in these groups. Individuals with FXS (pâ< 0.01) and RTS (pâ< 0.01) showed poorer quality of eye contact compared to individuals with CdLS. Individuals with FXS showed less person and more object attention than individuals with CdLS (pâ< 0.01). Associations between sociability and autism characteristics and chronological age differed between groups, which may indicate divergence in the development and aetiology of different components of sociability across these groups. Findings indicate that individuals with CdLS, FXS and RTS show unique profiles of sociability
âThe Much Wished-For Shoreâ: Nationalism and Utopianism in New Zealand Literature: 1817-1973.
This thesis examines the relationship between utopianism and nationalism in New Zealand literature between 1817 and 1973. My research utilises the definition of both the utopia and the nation as âimaginedâ or âimaginaryâ communities (to use Benedict Anderson and Phillip Wegnerâs terms), in demonstrating how they function as interdependent concepts in colonial New Zealand literature. Specifically, my research focuses on how a dominant discourse of PÄkehÄ nationalism is influenced by the desires of colonial settlement. There is an identifiable tradition in which New Zealand is imagined as a utopian space with an ambivalence towards modernity. The settler nation is defined subjectively by different authors, retaining, however, a tradition of excluding groups which are not compatible with the authorsâ utopian projections. This exclusion may be based on race, gender, class, political views or other categorisations. I view this tradition as a dialectic of changing desires and utopian visions, based on changing historical contexts, but always engaged with the central attempt to speculate the possibilities that New Zealand holds as a utopia for Anglocentric settlement. The thesis is divided into four chapters, each based on the comparison of two texts from a certain period. The first chapter compares two texts of early nineteenth century British settlement, J.L. Nicholasâ Narrative of Voyage to New Zealand (1817) and E.J. Wakefieldâs Adventure in New Zealand (1845). The second chapter examines Samuel Butlerâs Erewhon (1872) and Julius Vogelâs Anno Domini 2000 (1889). The third chapter focuses on Robin Hydeâs Wednesdayâs Children (1936) and John Mulganâs Man Alone (1939). My final chapter argues that the end of this mode of writing is signalled by Smithâs Dream (1971 rev. 1973) by C.K. Stead and Intensive Care (1970) by Janet Frame, which demonstrate a changing approach to the tradition. After this point, other postcolonial voices emerge and the attempted homogeneity of settler utopianism is disrupted
Soft Gluon Resummation for Polarized Deep-inelastic Production of Heavy Quarks
We present the threshold resummation for the cross section of heavy quark
production in polarized deep-inelastic scattering to next-to-leading
logarithmic accuracy and in single-particle inclusive kinematics. We expand our
resummed result in alpha_s to next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order
and study the impact of these higher order corrections on the charm structure
function g_1 in the kinematical range accessible to the HERMES and COMPASS
experiments.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, latex, minor change
Self-similar Bianchi type VIII and IX models
It is shown that in transitively self-similar spatially homogeneous tilted
perfect fluid models the symmetry vector is not normal to the surfaces of
spatial homogeneity. A direct consequence of this result is that there are no
self-similar Bianchi VIII and IX tilted perfect fluid models. Furthermore the
most general Bianchi VIII and IX spacetime which admit a four dimensional group
of homotheties is given.Comment: 5 pages, Latex; One reference and minor clarifications added. To
