    Full text link
    The effects of the anomalous contact terms are taken into account in tau to eta(eta')2pi nu decay. tau to 3pi nu is computed. Theoretical result agrees with data. It is the first time the anomalous vertex eta aa is tested. An a_{1} resonance is predicted in the final state. The decay rate of tau to eta'3pi nu is predicted.Comment: 15 pages, one latex file for the paper and one p-script file for the figur

    Following the genes: a framework for animal modeling of psychiatric disorders

    Get PDF
    The number of individual cases of psychiatric disorders that can be ascribed to identified, rare, single mutations is increasing with great rapidity. Such mutations can be recapitulated in mice to generate animal models with direct etiological validity. Defining the underlying pathogenic mechanisms will require an experimental and theoretical framework to make the links from mutation to altered behavior in an animal or psychopathology in a human. Here, we discuss key elements of such a framework, including cell type-based phenotyping, developmental trajectories, linking circuit properties at micro and macro scales and definition of neurobiological phenotypes that are directly translatable to humans

    Computer-Mediated Communication in the Workplace: Problems and Solutions

    Get PDF
    As workplace computer-mediated communication (CMC) rises, negative behaviors associated with toxic disinhibition effect (TDE) occur (Suler, 20014). Behaviors include bullying and flaming, which affect workplace productivity, and can lead to claims of hostile work environments. Laws shifting in favor of victims require managers and Human Resource staff to face these challenges. Potential solutions include policies designed to prevent the behaviors and CMC technologies such as videoconferencing and webcams to increase social presence and decrease dehumanization
