The Achaemenid Empire In South Asia And Recent Excavations In Akra In Northwest Pakistan, Peter Magee, Cameron Petrie, Robert Knox, Farid Khan, Ken Thomas Oct 2005

The Achaemenid Empire In South Asia And Recent Excavations In Akra In Northwest Pakistan, Peter Magee, Cameron Petrie, Robert Knox, Farid Khan, Ken Thomas

Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Faculty Research and Scholarship

The impact of the Achaemenid annexation of northwestern Pakistan has remained a focus for archaeological research for more than a century. A lack of well-stratified settlements and a focus on artifacts that are not necessarily appropriate for assessing the effects of imperial control have until now obfuscated our understanding of this issue. In this article, we present the results of three seasons of excavations at Akra located in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. Although research was cut short in 2001 by global events, our preliminary results indicate that the relation;;hip between urbanism, trade, and the Achaemenid annexation was …

Using Incongruent Equilibrium Hydration Reactions To Model Latter-Stage Crystallization In Plutons: Examples From The Bell Island Tonalite, Alaska, J. S. Beard, P. C. Ragland, Maria Luisa Crawford Sep 2005

Using Incongruent Equilibrium Hydration Reactions To Model Latter-Stage Crystallization In Plutons: Examples From The Bell Island Tonalite, Alaska, J. S. Beard, P. C. Ragland, Maria Luisa Crawford

Geology Faculty Research and Scholarship

Models using hydration crystallization reactions (the reverse of dehydration melting reactions such as amph + qtz = px + melt) for the Bell Island pluton define incongruent equilibrium crystallization paths from hydrous + melt + pyroxene + Fe-Ti oxides + calcic andesine (30%-50% solid) to a solid tonalite consisting mostly of hornblende, lower temperature end of Bowen's discontinuous reaction series and apply it to natural samples. Hydration crystallization provides an alternative to crystal fractionation for explaining variations in pluton chemistry, especially the compositions of late plutonic melts. Another characteristic of hydration crystallization is that the reactions have the potential to …

Statistical Validation Of Mutual Information Calculations: Comparison Of Alternative Numerical Algorithms, C. J. Cellucci, Alfonso M. Albano, P. E. Rapp Jun 2005

Statistical Validation Of Mutual Information Calculations: Comparison Of Alternative Numerical Algorithms, C. J. Cellucci, Alfonso M. Albano, P. E. Rapp

Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship

Given two time series X and Y, their mutual information, I(X, Y)= I(Y, X), is the average number of bits of X that can be predicted by measuring Y and vice versa. In the analysis of observational data, calculation of mutual information occurs in three contexts: identification of nonlinear correlation, determination of an optimal sampling interval, particularly when embedding data, and in the investigation of causal relationships with directed mutual information. In this contribution a minimum description length argument is used to determine the optimal number of elements to use when characterizing the distributions of X and Y. However, even …

Adolescents' Behavior In The Presence Of Interparental Hostility: Developmental And Emotion Regulatory Influences, Marc S. Schulz, Robert J. Waldinger, Stuart T. Hauser, Joseph P. Allen Apr 2005

Adolescents' Behavior In The Presence Of Interparental Hostility: Developmental And Emotion Regulatory Influences, Marc S. Schulz, Robert J. Waldinger, Stuart T. Hauser, Joseph P. Allen

Psychology Faculty Research and Scholarship

Within-family covariation between interparental hostility and adolescent behavior across three interactions over a 2-year period was explored in a sample that included 37 typical adolescents and 35 adolescents recently hospitalized for psychiatric difficulties. More interparental hostility across the three interactions was associated with more adolescent hostility and more positive engagement (at a trend level) regardless of psychiatric background. Parent-to-child hostility in each interaction mediated the link for adolescent hostility but not for positive adolescent engagement. Emotion regulation capacities and age were linked to variability in adolescents' behavior in the presence of interparental conflict. In interactions with more interparental hostility, adolescents …


Childhood And Adolescent Neighborhood Effects On Adult Income: Using Siblings To Examine Differences In Ordinary Least Squares And Fixed-Effect Models, Thomas P. Vartanian, P. W. Buck Mar 2005

Childhood And Adolescent Neighborhood Effects On Adult Income: Using Siblings To Examine Differences In Ordinary Least Squares And Fixed-Effect Models, Thomas P. Vartanian, P. W. Buck

Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research Faculty Research and Scholarship

Using sibling data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this article examines the effects of child and adolescent neighborhood conditions on adult income. Estimates from fixed-effect models and ordinary least squares regression (OLS) models are compared at four stages of childhood development, with three important findings. First, OLS models that include extensive control variables do not necessarily overstate the effects of neighborhoods. Second, neighborhoods have both linear and nonlinear relationships with adult economic well-being. Third, neighborhoods exert effects on even the youngest children.

Cd-111 And Cd-113 Spin-Lattice Relaxation In Cdmoo4 By Paramagnetic Centers In The Absence Of Spin Diffusion, Peter A. Beckmann, Shi Bai, Cecil Dybowski Jan 2005

Cd-111 And Cd-113 Spin-Lattice Relaxation In Cdmoo4 By Paramagnetic Centers In The Absence Of Spin Diffusion, Peter A. Beckmann, Shi Bai, Cecil Dybowski

Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship

In an ongoing effort to understand the solid-state spin-lattice relaxation mechanism and its modulation for heavy-nuclei spin-1/2 systems like Pb-207 and Tl-203/Tl-205, we have serendipitously observed that the recovery of a saturated Cd-111 (or Cd-113) nuclear magnetization in CdMoO4 shows the three distinct time regions elucidated by Bodart [Phys. Rev. B 54, 15291 (1996)] when nuclear-spin relaxation is dominated by paramagnetic impurity relaxation in the complete absence of nuclear-spin diffusion.


Origin Of Pinning Enhancement In A Ferromagnet-Superconductor Bilayer, Marta Z. Cieplak, Xuemei Cheng, C. L. Chien, Hai Sang Jan 2005

Origin Of Pinning Enhancement In A Ferromagnet-Superconductor Bilayer, Marta Z. Cieplak, Xuemei Cheng, C. L. Chien, Hai Sang

Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship

Vortex pinning has been studied for the superconducting Nb film covering ferromagnetic Co/Pt multilayer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, in which the magnetization reversal proceeds via domain-wall motion. Large enhancement of pinning in the Nb film has been observed in the final stages of the reversal process, and we demonstrate that it is caused by residual uninverted dendrite-shaped magnetic domains.


Antisymmetric Magnetoresistance In Magnetic Multilayers With Perpendicular Anisotropy, Xuemei Cheng, S. Urazhdin, O. Tchernyshyov, C. L. Chien, V. I. Nikitenko, A. J. Shapiro, R. D. Shull Jan 2005

Antisymmetric Magnetoresistance In Magnetic Multilayers With Perpendicular Anisotropy, Xuemei Cheng, S. Urazhdin, O. Tchernyshyov, C. L. Chien, V. I. Nikitenko, A. J. Shapiro, R. D. Shull

Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship

While magnetoresistance (MR) has generally been found to be symmetric in applied field in nonmagnetic or magnetic metals, we have observed antisymmetric MR in Co/Pt multilayers. Simultaneous domain imaging and transport measurements show that antisymmetric MR is due to the appearance of domain walls that run perpendicular to both the magnetization and the current, a geometry existing only in materials with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. As a result, the extraordinary Hall effect gives rise to circulating currents in the vicinity of domain walls that contributes to the MR. The antisymmetric MR and extraordinary Hall effect have been quantitatively accounted for by …

The Value Of Pooling “Naive” Expertise, Marc S. Schulz, Robert J. Waldinger Jan 2005

The Value Of Pooling “Naive” Expertise, Marc S. Schulz, Robert J. Waldinger

Psychology Faculty Research and Scholarship

Comments on the article by D. Westen and J. Weinberger, which explored the benefits and limitations of clinical observation and judgment. Westen and Weinberger identify two categories of informants--clinicians and participants--but these categories could be expanded to include other observers who might have particular expertise or experience related to the phenomenon of interest. The type of expert best suited to provide observations depends on the type of expertise required. There are some domains, however, in which those with the greatest expertise are neither specially trained observers nor self-reporters but, rather, lay observers who have a native or learned ability to …
