Chemical and kinetic equilibrations via radiative parton transport
A hot and dense partonic system can be produced in the early stage of a
relativistic heavy ion collision. How it equilibrates is important for the
extraction of Quark-Gluon Plasma properties. We study the chemical and kinetic
equilibrations of the Quark-Gluon Plasma using a radiative transport model.
Thermal and Color-Glass-Condensate motivated initial conditions are used. We
observe that screened parton interactions always lead to partial pressure
isotropization. Different initial pressure anisotropies result in the same
asymptotic evolution. Comparison of evolutions with and without radiative
processes shows that chemical equilibration interacts with kinetic
equilibration and radiative processes can contribute significantly to pressure
isotropization.Comment: Presented at 24th International Nuclear Physics Conference

Methodology for Validating Building Energy Analysis Simulations
The objective of this report was to develop a validation methodology for building energy analysis simulations, collect high-quality, unambiguous empirical data for validation, and apply the validation methodology to the DOE-2.1, BLAST-2MRT, BLAST-3.0, DEROB-3, DEROB-4, and SUNCAT 2.4 computer programs. This report covers background information, literature survey, validation methodology, comparative studies, analytical verification, empirical validation, comparative evaluation of codes, and conclusions
GABI-Kat SimpleSearch: new features of the Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA mutant database
T-DNA insertion mutants are very valuable for reverse genetics in Arabidopsis thaliana. Several projects have generated large sequence-indexed collections of T-DNA insertion lines, of which GABI-Kat is the second largest resource worldwide. User access to the collection and its Flanking Sequence Tags (FSTs) is provided by the front end SimpleSearch (http://www.GABI-Kat.de). Several significant improvements have been implemented recently. The database now relies on the TAIRv10 genome sequence and annotation dataset. All FSTs have been newly mapped using an optimized procedure that leads to improved accuracy of insertion site predictions. A fraction of the collection with weak FST yield was re-analysed by generating new FSTs. Along with newly found predictions for older sequences about 20 000 new FSTs were included in the database. Information about groups of FSTs pointing to the same insertion site that is found in several lines but is real only in a single line are included, and many problematic FST-to-line links have been corrected using new wet-lab data. SimpleSearch currently contains data from ∼71 000 lines with predicted insertions covering 62.5% of the 27 206 nuclear protein coding genes, and offers insertion allele-specific data from 9545 confirmed lines that are available from the Nottingham Arabidopsis Stock Centre
Resilience to loss and chronic grief: A prospective study from preloss to 18-months postloss
The vast majority of bereavement research is conducted after a loss has occurred. Thus, knowledge of the divergent trajectories of grieving or their antecedent predictors is lacking. This study gathered prospective data on 205 individuals several years prior to the death of their spouse and at 6- and 18-months postloss. Five core bereavement patterns were identified: common grief, chronic grief, chronic depression, improvement during bereavement, and resilience. Common grief was relatively infrequent, and the resilient pattern most frequent. The authors tested key hypotheses in the literature pertaining to chronic grief and resilience by identifying the preloss predictors of each pattern. Chronic grief was associated with preloss dependency and resilience with preloss acceptance of death and belief in a just world. The death of a spouse is generally assumed to be one of the most stressful experiences that people encounter during the course of their lives (Holmes & Rahe, 1967). However, there are marked individual differences in how much and for how long people grieve (Bonanno & Kaltman, 1999, 2001; Wortman & Silver, 1989, 2001). In addition to what is assumed to be the typical or common reaction, an initial increase in depression that gradually subsides over time, several other patterns of grief have been discussed in the literature. These include prolonged or chronic grieving, the noticeable absence of grief symptoms, and delayed grief responses. Social and personality psychologists have become increasingly interested in these different trajectories, and how they compare with those observed for other marital transitions and othe
Social relationships of men at risk for AIDS
Survey data collected in 1984-85 from a community sample of 637 gay and bisexual men were used to determine the features of social relationships that were most conductive to changes in both psychological health and AIDS-related sexual risk behavior. Multiple regression analyses showed that both the perceived availability of social support and the absence of conflicts in the social network were related to improved psychological health. At the same time, the subjective experience of integration into social networks was associated with increased psychological distress, and validation (the experience of being accepted by others) was related to a higher level of risk activity. These findings are discussed in terms of the social relationships among community members that share a common stressor--in this case the shared problem of being at risk for AIDS.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/30825/1/0000487.pd
A lattice in more than two Kac--Moody groups is arithmetic
Let be an irreducible lattice in a product of n infinite irreducible
complete Kac-Moody groups of simply laced type over finite fields. We show that
if n is at least 3, then each Kac-Moody groups is in fact a simple algebraic
group over a local field and is an arithmetic lattice. This relies on
the following alternative which is satisfied by any irreducible lattice
provided n is at least 2: either is an S-arithmetic (hence linear)
group, or it is not residually finite. In that case, it is even virtually
simple when the ground field is large enough.
More general CAT(0) groups are also considered throughout.Comment: Subsection 2.B was modified and an example was added ther
