New Exploration in the Chitral Valley, Pakistan: An Extension of the Gandharan Grave Culture
NoNew survey in the Chitral Valley has doubled the number of recorded Gandharan Grave culture sites in the region and extended their geographical range. The numbers and location of sites indicates that the Gandharan Grave culture was well established in the Chitral valley, suggesting that the valley may have been central to this cultural development, rather than marginal
The impact of support for imports on food security in Indonesia
This study on the impact of import support on food security was conducted in eight developing countries -including Indonesia- that were facing food insecurity and were recipients of subsidized exports and food aid. In Indonesia, the analysis of import flows in comparison with overall production and consumption data led to the selection of the three import substitute commodities, soybean, sugar and milk, that were the focus of this study. The objective of the study was to provide an analysis of the national impact of export support measures on food security, by taking into account their impact on the producers and consumers of the three commodities.IMPORTS, EXPORTS, FOOD, ECURITY, SOYBEANS, SUGAR, MILK, FOOD AID, Agricultural and Food Policy, Crop Production/Industries, Food Security and Poverty, International Relations/Trade, Production Economics,
Maxwell's Equations in a Uniformly Rotating Dielectric Medium and the Wilson-Wilson Experiment
This note offers a conceptually straightforward and efficient way to
formulate and solve problems in the electromagnetics of moving media based on a
representation of Maxwell's equations in terms of differential forms on
spacetime together with junction conditions at moving interfaces. This
framework is used to address a number of issues that have been discussed
recently in this journal about the theoretical description underlying the
interpretation of the Wilson-Wilson experiment.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figure
Fastab: Solving the Pitch to Notation Problem
I have always been frustrated with the length of time necessary to notate a piece of music. Computers have simplified so many other aspects of our lives, it seems that they should be able to simplify this task as well. In fact, there are already two distinct ways that engineers have attempted to attack this problem. The first analyzes the waveform generated by microphone input and relies on Fourier Analysis and other similar methods. The other examines the analog signal generated by a electric guitar-like pickup placed beneath the strings. The method used by Fastab relies much less on the musical properties of an instrument. Instead, Fastab records where and when the fingers and pick contact the instrument using digital electronics and microprocessor technology. Fastab provides a solution to the pitch to notation problem which is cheaper and more accurate than any other device available today
A hermeneutic phenomenological study of/in transformation : an embodied and creative exploration of therapeutic change through psychophonetics psychotherapy
A review of recent literature on therapeutic change reveals a growing body of research which focuses on what works from the client’s point of view in facilitating positive change. This longitudinal study addresses the need for further research into the meanings of therapeutic change itself, especially as lived from the client’s perspective
Maximal violation of Bell inequalities by position measurements
We show that it is possible to find maximal violations of the CHSH-Bell
inequality using only position measurements on a pair of entangled
non-relativistic free particles. The device settings required in the CHSH
inequality are done by choosing one of two times at which position is measured.
For different assignments of the "+" outcome to positions, namely to an
interval, to a half line, or to a periodic set, we determine violations of the
inequalities, and states where they are attained. These results have
consequences for the hidden variable theories of Bohm and Nelson, in which the
two-time correlations between distant particle trajectories have a joint
distribution, and hence cannot violate any Bell inequality.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
Sex differences in intimate relationships
Social networks have turned out to be of fundamental importance both for our
understanding human sociality and for the design of digital communication
technology. However, social networks are themselves based on dyadic
relationships and we have little understanding of the dynamics of close
relationships and how these change over time. Evolutionary theory suggests
that, even in monogamous mating systems, the pattern of investment in close
relationships should vary across the lifespan when post-weaning investment
plays an important role in maximising fitness. Mobile phone data sets provide
us with a unique window into the structure of relationships and the way these
change across the lifespan. We here use data from a large national mobile phone
dataset to demonstrate striking sex differences in the pattern in the
gender-bias of preferred relationships that reflect the way the reproductive
investment strategies of the two sexes change across the lifespan: these
differences mainly reflect women's shifting patterns of investment in
reproduction and parental care. These results suggest that human social
strategies may have more complex dynamics than we have tended to assume and a
life-history perspective may be crucial for understanding them.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, contains electronic supplementary materia
