An Outside Educator Views Michigan\u27s Legal Education from the Inside
Harold J. Spaeth is a Michigan State University political science professor who has attracted considerable attention for his computer predictions of the outcomes of U.S. Supreme Court cases. Over the past seven years, his predictions are said to have had an accuracy rate of more than 93 percent. Spaeth\u27s approach is to analyze the voting records of justices to determine personal attitudes and other factors influencing their decisions. He says these voting records are usually more revealing than legal theories which may mask the underlaying motivations in the particular judgment. A U-M law student since the summer of 1979, the 50-year-old professor says a law degree will assist my future writing and research, and better equip me to do consulting work for attorneys who try cases before the Supreme Court.
In the summer of 1979, after 25 years behind a podium, I became a student at the Law School. Call it role reversal with a vengeance. Now, 14 months and 45 credits later, some observations on the producers, products, and processes of legal education at the University of Michiga
Voyager en France
In this lesson, students view a video that describes the most often used modes of transportation in France. Students then discuss the similarities and differences between travel in the US and travel in France
Analytical description of spin-Rabi oscillation controlled electronic transitions rates between weakly coupled pairs of paramagnetic states with S=1/2
We report on an analytical description of spin-dependent electronic
transition rates which are controlled by a radiation induced spin-Rabi
oscillation of weakly spin-exchange and spin-dipolar coupled paramagnetic
states (S=1/2). The oscillation components (the Fourier content) of the net
transition rates within spin-pair ensembles are derived for randomly
distributed spin resonances with account of a possible correlation between the
two distributions that correspond to the two individual pair partners. The
results presented here show that when electrically or optically detected Rabi
spectroscopy is conducted under an increasing driving field B_ 1, the Rabi
spectrum evolves from a single resonance peak at s=\Omega_R, where
\Omega_R=\gamma B_1 is the Rabi frequency (\gamma is the gyromagnetic ratio),
to three peaks at s= \Omega_R, s=2\Omega_R, and at low s<< \Omega_R. The
crossover between the two regimes takes place when \Omega_R exceeds the
expectation value \delta_0 of the difference of the Zeeman energies within the
pairs, which corresponds to the broadening of the magnetic resonance lines in
the presence of disorder caused by hyperfine field or distributions of Lande
g-factors. We capture this crossover by analytically calculating the shapes of
all three peaks at arbitrary relation between \Omega_R and \delta_0. When the
peaks are well-developed their widths are \Delta s ~ \delta_0^2/\Omega_R.Comment: 10 page, 5 figure
Are depressive symptoms linked to a reduced pupillary response to novel positive information?:An eye tracking proof-of-concept study
Introduction:Depressive symptoms have been linked to difficulties in revising established negative beliefs in response to novel positive information. Recent predictive processing accounts have suggested that this bias in belief updating may be related to a blunted processing of positive prediction errors at the neural level. In this proof-of-concept study, pupil dilation in response to unexpected positive emotional information was examined as a psychophysiological marker of an attenuated processing of positive prediction errors associated with depressive symptoms.Methods: Participants (N = 34) completed a modified version of the emotional Bias Against Disconfirmatory Evidence (BADE) task in which scenarios initially suggest negative interpretations that are later either confirmed or disconfirmed by additional information. Pupil dilation in response to the confirmatory and disconfirmatory information was recorded. Results: Behavioral results showed that depressive symptoms were related to difficulties in revising negative interpretations despite disconfirmatory positive information. The eye tracking results pointed to a reduced pupil response to unexpected positive information among people with elevated depressive symptoms. Discussion: Altogether, the present study demonstrates that the adapted emotional BADE task can be appropriate for examining psychophysiological aspects such as changes in pupil size along with behavioral responses. Furthermore, the results suggest that depression may be characterized by deviations in both behavioral (i.e., reduced updating of negative beliefs) and psychophysiological (i.e., decreased pupil dilation) responses to unexpected positive information. Future work should focus on a larger sample including clinically depressed patients to further explore these findings.</p
Electrical Detection and Magnetic-Field Control of Spin States in Phosphorus-Doped Silicon
Electron paramagnetic resonance of ensembles of phosphorus donors in silicon
has been detected electrically with externally applied magnetic fields lower
than 200 G. Because the spin Hamiltonian was dominated by the contact hyperfine
term rather than by the Zeeman terms at such low magnetic fields, superposition
states and
were formed
between phosphorus electron and nuclear spins, and electron paramagnetic
resonance transitions between these superposition states and or states are observed clearly. A
continuous change of and with the magnetic field was
observed with a behavior fully consistent with theory of phosphorus donors in
silicon.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Biology and therapy of fibromyalgia. Evidence-based biomarkers for fibromyalgia syndrome
Researchers studying fibromyalgia strive to identify objective, measurable biomarkers that may identify susceptible individuals, may facilitate diagnosis, or that parallel activity of the disease. Candidate objective measures range from sophisticated functional neuroimaging to office-ready measures of the pressure pain threshold. A systematic literature review was completed to assess highly investigated, objective measures used in fibromyalgia studies. To date, only experimental pain testing has been shown to coincide with improvements in clinical status in a longitudinal study. Concerted efforts to systematically evaluate additional objective measures in research trials will be vital for ongoing progress in outcome research and translation into clinical practice
