Reply to Comment on "Reevaluation of the parton distribution of strange quarks in the nucleon"
A Comment on the recently published reevaluation of the polarization-averaged
parton distribution of strange quarks in the nucleon using final data on the
multiplicities of charged kaons in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering is
reviewed. Important features of the comparison of one-dimensional projections
of the multidimensional HERMES data are pointed out. A test of the
leading-order extraction of xS(x) using the difference between charged-kaon
multiplicities is repeated. The results are consistent with leading-order
predictions within the uncertainties in the input data, and do not invalidate
the earlier extraction of xS(x).Comment: Reply Comment to arXiv:1407.372
Calculations of Energy Losses due to Atomic Processes in Tokamaks with Applications to the ITER Divertor
Reduction of the peak heat loads on the plasma facing components is essential
for the success of the next generation of high fusion power tokamaks such as
the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) 1 . Many present
concepts for accomplishing this involve the use of atomic processes to transfer
the heat from the plasma to the main chamber and divertor chamber walls and
much of the experimental and theoretical physics research in the fusion program
is directed toward this issue. The results of these experiments and
calculations are the result of a complex interplay of many processes. In order
to identify the key features of these experiments and calculations and the
relative role of the primary atomic processes, simple quasi-analytic models and
the latest atomic physics rate coefficients and cross sections have been used
to assess the relative roles of central radiation losses through
bremsstrahlung, impurity radiation losses from the plasma edge, charge exchange
and hydrogen radiation losses from the scrape-off layer and divertor plasma and
impurity radiation losses from the divertor plasma. This anaysis indicates that
bremsstrahlung from the plasma center and impurity radiation from the plasma
edge and divertor plasma can each play a significant role in reducing the power
to the divertor plates, and identifies many of the factors which determine the
relative role of each process. For instance, for radiation losses in the
divertor to be large enough to radiate the power in the divertor for high power
experiments, a neutral fraction of 10-3 to 10-2 and an impurity recycling rate
of netrecycle of ~ 10^16 s m^-3 will be required in the divertor.Comment: Preprint for the 1994 APSDPP meeting, uuencoded and gzipped

Evidence-based practice: A matrix for predicting phonological generalization
This paper describes a matrix for clinical use in the selection of phonological treatment targets to induce generalization, and in the identification of probe sounds to monitor during the course of intervention. The matrix appeals to a set of factors that have been shown to promote phonological generalization in the research literature, including the nature of error patterns, implicational universals, developmental norms, and stimulability. A case study of a child with a phonological disorder is presented to illustrate how the matrix may be utilized in evidence-based practice. The matrix serves as a demonstration of how the translation of research to practice may be accomplished.National Institutes of Health DC00433, RR7031K, DC00076, DC001694 (PI: Gierut)This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics on April-May 2010, available online: http://wwww.tandfonline.com/10.3109/02699200903532490
Dismembered: Native Disenrollment and the Battle for Human Rights
While the number of federally recognized Native nations in the United States are increasing, the population figures for existing tribal nations are declining. This depopulation is not being perpetrated by the federal government, but by Native governments that are banishing, denying, or disenrolling Native citizens at an unprecedented rate. Since the 1990s, tribal belonging has become more of a privilege than a sacred right. Political and legal dismemberment has become a national phenomenon with nearly eighty Native nations, in at least twenty states, terminating the rights of indigenous citizens.The first comprehensive examination of the origins and significance of tribal disenrollment, Dismembered examines this disturbing trend, which often leaves the disenrolled tribal members with no recourse or appeal. At the center of the issue is how Native nations are defined today and who has the fundamental rights to belong. By looking at hundreds of tribal constitutions and talking with both disenrolled members and tribal officials, the authors demonstrate the damage this practice is having across Indian Country and ways to address the problem.https://scholarship.richmond.edu/bookshelf/1328/thumbnail.jp
