Social and emotional components of book reading between caregivers and their toddlers in a high-risk sample
In this collective case study of caregiver behaviors with their toddlers, two-minute videotaped reading interactions were analyzed using a constant comparative method. Twenty-four caregiverātoddler dyads from a high-risk sample of children prenatally exposed to cocaine were selected from a larger sample because they represented the extremes of expressive language scores on the Reynell Expressive Language Quotient at 36 months, one year after the reading interactions. Caregivers in the high-scoring group shared control of the book and discourse, were āin tuneā with the childās needs and abilities, and answered their own questions to the children. This was in contrast to the behaviors of caregivers of the low-scoring children, who appeared unaware of the childās developmental needs in the interaction, particularly in their ability to respond to the questions posed. Implications of the results for future research on caregiver reading with young children are discussed
Electrostatic electron cyclotron instabilities near the upper hybrid layer due to electron ring distributions
A theoretical study is presented of the electrostatic electron cyclotron instability involving Bernstein modes in a magnetized plasma. The presence of a tenuous thermal ring distribution in a Maxwellian plasma decreases the frequency of the upper hybrid branch of the electron Bernstein mode until it merges with the nearest lower branch with a resulting instability. The instability occurs when the upper hybrid frequency is somewhat above the third, fourth, and higher electron cyclotron harmonics, and gives rise to a narrow spectrum of waves around the electron cyclotron harmonic nearest to the upper hybrid frequency. For a tenuous cold ring distribution together with a Maxwellian distribution an instability can take place also near the second electron cyclotron harmonic. Noise-free Vlasov simulations are used to assess the theoretical linear growth-rates and frequency spectra, and to study the nonlinear evolution of the instability. The relevance of the results to laboratory and ionospheric heating experiments is discussed
Profiles of Temperament and Perfectionism in High Ability College Students
Different physical, mental, and motivational outcomes for perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns indicate that individuals have different experiences of perfectionism. Although research has focused on parenting practices as a factor related to these differences, little research has examined the impact of temperamental differences on perfectionism. In the current study, 434 high ability undergraduate students completed perfectionism, adult temperament, and personality measures. Latent class analysis that examined the patterns among the relationships between self-oriented perfectionism, socially prescribed perfectionism, and four dimensions of adult temperament (negative affect, effortful control, extraversion, orienting sensitivity) revealed three distinct subgroups. Although the largest subgroup demonstrated patterns consistent with prior research on perfectionism (e.g., perfectionism associated with negative affect), two other subgroups revealed separate patterns that were inconsistent with prior research (e.g., one subgroup had negative relationships between negative affect and both types of perfectionism). Our results demonstrate that temperament may play an important role in explaining the heterogeneity among perfectionists

Water Entry of a Simple Harmonic Oscillator
When a blunt body impacts an air-water interface, large hydrodynamic forces
often arise, a phenomenon many of us have unfortunately experienced in a failed
dive or "belly flop." Beyond assessing risk to biological divers, an
understanding and methods for remediation of such slamming forces are critical
to the design of numerous engineered naval and aerospace structures. Herein we
systematically investigate the role of impactor elasticity on the resultant
structural loads in perhaps the simplest possible scenario: the water entry of
a simple harmonic oscillator. Contrary to conventional intuition, we find that
"softening" the impactor does not always reduce the peak impact force, but may
also increase the force as compared to a fully rigid counterpart. Through our
combined experimental and theoretical investigation, we demonstrate that the
transition from force reduction to force amplification is delineated by a
critical "hydroelastic" factor that relates the hydrodynamic and elastic
timescales of the problem
