A Comparison of Human Energy Fields Among Children, Youth, Adults, & Dahn Masters
While concepts and investigations of human energy fields have been developed for centuries, there has been little systematic work comparing the fields of children, adolescents, and adults. In addition, general fields have had little comparison between average adults and those participating in an intense practice that may affect the field. Using the GDV machine, this research compared small groups of children, adolescents, average adults, and Dahn Hak Masters on measures of 20 basic aspects of the human energy fields, including the seven chakras. Differences were found in seven of the 13 field parameters as well as all seven measures of the chakras. The largest fields occurred with the Dahn Masters while children had the highest entropy (communication with the environment). Difference on chakras showed children to be the most open while adults were the most shut down. The means for Dahn Masters were more consistent with those for children and adolescents than other adults, suggesting that changes in the field with age may be different when people do extensive work that affects the field. Further research is required to verify these preliminary results and test additional questions raised by this study

Importance of Non-Linear Couplings in Fusion Barrier Distributions and Mean Angular Momenta
The effects of higher order coupling of surface vibrations to the relative
motion on heavy-ion fusion reactions at near-barrier energies are investigated.
The coupled channels equations are solved to all orders, and also in the linear
and the quadratic coupling approximations. It is shown that the shape of fusion
barrier distributions and the energy dependence of the average angular momentum
of the compound nucleus can significantly change when the higher order
couplings are included. The role of octupole vibrational excitation of ^{16}O
in the ^{16}O + ^{144}Sm fusion reaction is also discussed using the all order
coupled-channels equations.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, To be published in the Proceedings of the FUSION

A search for starlight reflected from HD 75289 b
We have used a doppler tomographic analysis to conduct a deep search for the
starlight reflected from the planetary companion to HD 75289. In 4 nights on
VLT2/UVES in January 2003, we obtained 684 high resolution echelle spectra with
a total integration time of 26 hours. We establish an upper limit on the
planet's geometric albedo p < 0.12 (to the 99.9% significance level) at the
most probable orbital inclination i ~ 60 degrees, assuming a grey albedo, a
Venus-like phase function and a planetary radius R_p = 1.6 R_Jup. We are able
to rule out some combinations of the predicted planetary radius and atmospheric
albedo models with high, reflective cloud decks.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, MNRAS accepted 12 Oct 200
A SHORT-TERM LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF ENERGY FIELDS IN INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN
The purpose of this longitudinal observacional study of infant's and children's energy fields was ro explore the nature and development of the human energy field (HEF) during infancy and early childhood. Previous studies of the liEF have focused primarily on adults, with only inferences on the field during early development. Only one study has actually measured liEF during childhood. Therefore, the intention of this study was ro develop an approach ro observation with quantitative and qualitative analysis using repeated observations of subjects over a twOyear period. Initially, the sample (N ~ 19) consisted of three age groups of approximately 6, 30, and 54-month-old children. During the third wave of data, seven more infants were added to the sample ro increase confidence in findings across ages. In the first explorarory study, coding was devised to help extrapolate information, which might lead to a different understanding of developing human energy fields in children. Literature was reviewed of the liEF of adults combined with traditional observational methods used for studying children ro develop this research. Observations were conducted of liEF using three independent coders, a systematic coding form, and video documentation. The observations were conducted approximately one year apart. The first observation primarily was conducted live, and the second and third observations were taken from videotape of the children. For each observation, three observers independently completed the coding form, with the same observers completing forms for the second and third wave of data. These results are based in all three waves where there was agreement between at least two of the three observers. Using all three waves, the coding was entered inro the computer to conduct some basic quantitative comparisons in addition ro the qualitative analysis. Consistently, density of [he field and width of the field were inversely related ro the amount of light or translucency in the field. In addition, it was found that density was strongly correlated to the amount of energy in the field and the velocity, as was the width of the field. Shapes also were correlated wi th other shapes observed in the field, but only the ring and overall quality of the field were correlated with age. These findings are discussed in terms of other work on children and future work needed in this area
INCORPORATING HUMAN ENERGY FIELDS INTO FAMILY RESEARCH AND THERAPY
The study of family interactions has a long tradition from different disciplines and methodologies, but one area ignored is the investigation of human energy fields (HEFs). While the concept has been around for centuries, only recently has it been utilized in Western contemporary practice. Combining emotional expression, family processes, and HEF perspectives, this study was developed to investigate the relationship between emotional expression and HEF interactions in relation to reported closeness between parents and adolescents. The methodology was designed to analyze self-report and observational data on 56 dyads and triads within two-parent families with a high school adolescent. The data were analyzed in terms of simple correlations and a step-wise regression. The findings are discussed along with implications for further research and therapy with adolescents and families

A Comment on Zero-brane Quantum Mechanics
We consider low energy, non-relativistic scattering of two Dirichlet
zero-branes as an exercise in quantum mechanics. For weak string coupling and
sufficiently small velocity, the dynamics is governed by an effective U(2)
gauge theory in 0+1 dimensions. At low energies, D-brane scattering can
reliably probe distances much shorter than the string scale. The only length
scale in the quantum mechanics problem is the eleven dimensional Planck length.
This provides evidence for the role of scales shorter than the string length in
the weakly coupled dynamics of type IIA strings.Comment: 9 pages, harvmac, improved treatment of 2+1 proble
Aging and Holography
Aging phenomena are examples of `non-equilibrium criticality' and can be
exemplified by systems with Galilean and scaling symmetries but no time
translation invariance. We realize aging holographically using a deformation of
a non-relativistic version of gauge/gravity duality. Correlation functions of
scalar operators are computed using holographic real-time techniques, and agree
with field theory expectations. At least in this setup, general aging phenomena
are reproduced holographically by complexifying the bulk space-time geometry,
even in Lorentzian signature.Comment: 1 pdf figur
