First Measurement Of The Jet Cross Section In Polarized p+p Collisions At GeV
We present preliminary measurements of the inclusive jet cross section in the
transverse momentum region 5<<50 GeV/\textit{c} from 0.2 of
polarized p+p data at =200 GeV. The data were corrected for detector
inefficiency and resolution using PYTHIA events processed through a full GEANT
simulation. The measured jet cross section agrees well with NLO pQCD
calculations over seven orders of magnitude. These "proof of principal"
measurements pave the way for ongoing analyses of the higher statistics (
3 ) data sample from the 2005 RHIC run.Comment: Proceedings from PANIC 200
Explicit isogeny descent on elliptic curves
In this note, we consider an l-isogeny descent on a pair of elliptic curves
over Q. We assume that l > 3 is a prime. The main result expresses the relevant
Selmer groups as kernels of simple explicit maps between finite- dimensional
F_l-vector spaces defined in terms of the splitting fields of the kernels of
the two isogenies. We give examples of proving the l-part of the Birch and
Swinnerton-Dyer conjectural formula for certain curves of small conductor.Comment: 17 pages, accepted for publication in Mathematics of Computatio
A Naturalistic Study of the Associations between Changes in Alcohol Problems, Spiritual Functioning and Psychiatric Symptoms
The study evaluated how spiritual and religious functioning (SRF), alcohol-related problems, and psychiatric symptoms change over the course of treatment and follow-up. Problem drinkers (n = 55, including 39 males and 16 females) in outpatient treatment were administered questionnaires at pretreatment, posttreatment, and follow up, which assessed two aspects of SRF (religious well-being and existential well-being), two aspects of alcohol misuse (severity and consequences), and two aspects of psychiatric symptoms (depression and anxiety). Significant improvements in SRF, psychiatric symptoms and alcohol misuse were observed from pretreatment to follow-up. Although SRF scores were significantly correlated with psychiatric symptoms at all three time points, improvement in the former did not predict improvement in the latter. When measured at the same time points, SRF scores were not correlated with the measures of alcohol misuse. However, improvement in SRF (specifically in existential well-being) over the course of treatment was predictive of improvement in the alcohol misuse measures at follow-up. These results suggest that the association between SRF, emotional problems, and alcohol misuse is complex. They further suggest that patients who improve spiritual functioning over the course of treatment are more likely to experience improvement in drinking behavior and alcohol-related problems after treatment has ended.

How and Why lslamophobia is tied to English Nationalism but not to Scottish Nationalism
Muslim minorities throughout Europe are under threat of collateral damage from the Blair/Bush \u27War on Terror.\u27 In Scotland they also have to cope with the added possibility that Scottish nationalism might develop an \u27ethnic\u27 as well as a \u27civic\u27 dimension. But is Scottish nationalism part of the problem or part of the solution? Paradoxically, Muslims are under less pressure in Scotland than in England, despite Scotland\u27s move over recent decades--psychologically as well as institutionally--towards nationalism

X-ray Signatures of Circumnuclear Gas in AGN
X-ray spectra of AGN are complex. X-ray absorption and emission features
trace gas covering a wide range of column densities and ionization states. High
resolution spectra show the absorbing gas to be outflowing, perhaps in the form
of an accretion disk wind. The absorbing complex shapes the form of the X-ray
spectrum while X-ray reverberation and absorption changes explain the spectral
and timing behaviour of AGN. We discuss recent progress, highlighting some new
results and reviewing the implications that can be drawn from the data.Comment: Proceedings of the conference "Suzaku 2011, Exploring the X-ray

Pionic Color Transparency
We use a semi-classical approximation to investigate the effects of color
transparency on pion electroproduction reactions. The resulting reduced nuclear
interactions produce significant, but not dominating, differences with the
results of conventional distorted-wave, Glauber-type treatments at kinematics
accessible to Jefferson Laboratory. Nuclear effects that could mimic the
influence of color transparency are also discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
Random harmonic analysis program, L221 (TEV156). Volume 1: Engineering and usage
A digital computer program capable of calculating steady state solutions for linear second order differential equations due to sinusoidal forcing functions is described. The field of application of the program, the analysis of airplane response and loads due to continuous random air turbulence, is discussed. Optional capabilities including frequency dependent input matrices, feedback damping, gradual gust penetration, multiple excitation forcing functions, and a static elastic solution are described. Program usage and a description of the analysis used are presented
