Own versus other standpoints in self-regulation: Developmental antecedents and functional consequences
An inner audience is an internal representation of other\u27s values, goals, and standards for the self (other standpoint on self). It contrasts with an internal representation of one\u27s own values, goals, and standards for the self (own standpoint on self). Using self-discrepancy theory (E. T. Higgins, see record 1987-34444-001) as a framework to integrate diverse psychological perspectives on this classic distinction, the authors consider the role of own versus other standpoints in self-regulation. They describe developmental shifts and socialization effects on the self-regulatory strength of own and other standpoints. Evidence that individual differences and sex differences in own versus other standpoints for self-regulation relate to different affective and interpersonal vulnerabilities is reviewed. The concepts of identification and introjection are empirically distinguished in a novel way, and therapeutic implications are discussed

Asymptotic high-energy behavior of hadronic total cross sections from lattice QCD
We will show how a universal and Froissart-like (i.e., of the kind "B log^2
s") hadron-hadron total cross section can emerge in QCD asymptotically at high
energy, finding indications for this behavior from the lattice. The functional
integral approach provides the natural setting for achieving this result, since
it encodes the energy dependence of hadronic scattering amplitudes in a single
elementary object, i.e., a proper correlation function of two Wilson loops.Comment: Talk given (by E. Meggiolaro) at the "48th Rencontres de Moriond on

Pushing the limits, episode 2: K2 observations of extragalactic RR Lyrae stars in the dwarf galaxy Leo IV
We present the first observations of extragalactic pulsating stars in the K2
ecliptic survey of the Kepler space telescope. Variability of all three RR
Lyrae stars in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo IV were successfully detected,
at a brightness of Kp~21.5 mag, from data collected during Campaign 1. We
identified one modulated star and another likely Blazhko candidate with periods
of 29.8+-0.9 d and more than 80 d, respectively. EPIC 210282473 represents the
first star beyond the Magellanic Clouds for which the Blazhko period and
cycle-to-cycle variations in the modulation were unambiguously measured.The
photometric [Fe/H] indices of the stars agree with earlier results that Leo IV
is a very metal-poor galaxy. Two out of three stars blend with brighter
background galaxies in the K2 frames. We demonstrate that image subtraction can
be reliably used to extract photometry from faint confused sources that will be
crucial not only for the K2 mission but for future space photometric missions
as well.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, accepted for publication in the Astrophysical

Improving the discovery potential of charged Higgs bosons at the Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider
We outline several improvements to the experimental analyses carried out at
Tevatron (Run 2) or simulated in view of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that
could increase the scope of CDF/D0 and ATLAS/CMS in detecting charged Higgs
bosonsComment: 6 pages, 4 figures, talk given at the `Seventh Workshop on High

The BMW Deep X-ray Cluster Survey
We briefly describe the main features of the Brera Multi-Wavelet (BMW) survey
of serendipitous X-ray clusters, based on the still unexploited ROSAT-HRI
archival observations. Cluster candidates are selected from the general BMW
catalogue of 20,000 sources based exclusively on their X-ray extension.
Contrary to common wisdom, a clever selection of the HRI energy channels allows
us to significantly reduce the background noise, thus greatly improving the
ability to detect low surface-brightness sources as clusters. The resulting
sample of ~250 candidates shows a very good sky coverage down to a flux
\~3x10^-14 erg/s/cm^2 ([0.5-2.0] keV band), i.e comparable to existing
PSPC-based deep survey, with a particularly interesting area of ~100 sq.deg.
around fluxes ~10^-13 erg/s/cm^2, i.e. where highly-luminous, rare systems at
z~0.6-1 can be detected. At the same time, the superior angular resolution of
the instrument should avoid biases against intrinsically small systems, while
easing the identification process (e.g. by spotting blends and AGN
contaminants). While about 20% of the candidates are already identified with
groups/clusters at z<0.3 on the DSS2 images, we have started a deep CCD imaging
campaign to observe all sources associated to "blank fields". First results
from these observations reveal a distant (z>0.5) bonafide cluster counterpart
for ~80% of the targets.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures; to appear in Proc. of the ESO/ECF/STSCI workshop
