Abstract

The World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology recently released new recommendations for the design of fecal egg count (FEC) reduction tests for livestock. These provide suggestions as to the number of animals to be sampled and the minimum number of eggs that must be counted to produce statistically meaningful results.

2. Heart Disease Management by Women: Does Intervention Format Matter?

Author

Clark, Noreen M., Janz, Nancy K., Dodge, Julia A., Lin, Xihong, Trabert, Britton L., Kaciroti, Niko, Mosca, Lori, Wheeler, John R., and Keteyian, Steven

Abstract

A randomized controlled trial of two formats of a program (Women Take PRIDE) to enhance management of heart disease by patients was conducted. Older women (N = 575) were randomly assigned to a group or self-directed format or to a control group. Data regarding symptoms, functional health status, and weight were collected at baseline and at 4, 12, and 18 months. The formats produced different outcomes. At 18 months, the self-directed format was better than the control in reducing the number (p = 0.02), frequency (p = 0.03), and bothersomeness (p = 0.02) of cardiac symptoms. The self-directed format was also better than the group format in reducing symptom frequency of all types (p = 0.04). The group format improved ambulation at 12 months (p = 0.04) and weight loss at 18 months (p = 0.03), and group participants were more likely to complete the program (p = 0.05). The availability of different learning formats could enhance management of cardiovascular disease by patients.

5. Grade Retention: Current Decision-Making Practices and Involvement of School Psychologists Working in Public Schools

Author

Schnurr, Britton L., Kundert, Deborah K., and Nickerson, Amanda B.

Abstract

Research examining student outcomes (e.g., achievement, adjustment) after grade retention reveals that it does not result in long-term improvements for students; however, grade retention continues to be used as an intervention. The purpose of this study was to examine retention decision-making practices, as well as school psychologists' knowledge, beliefs, and opinions regarding retention. Actual and ideal roles of school psychologists in grade retention decisions were also examined. Participants included 250 school psychologists randomly selected from the membership of the National Association of School Psychologists. Results revealed that the decision to retain is a subjective one, typically made by a team. Responding school psychologists did not support retention and found the research moderately applicable to practice. However, most school psychologists indicated that they were not centrally involved in decision making. Findings also revealed a desire among school psychologists for increased involvement in developing and/or implementing programs aimed at improving performance and consulting on the effects of retention.

Abstract

The ideal superconductor provides a pristine environment for the delicate states of a quantum computer: because there is an energy gap to excitations, there are no spurious modes with which the qubits can interact, causing irreversible decay of the quantum state. As a practical matter, however, there exists a high density of excitations out of the superconducting ground state even at ultralow temperature; these are known as quasiparticles. Observed quasiparticle densities are of order 1~$\mu$m$^{-3}$, tens of orders of magnitude larger than the equilibrium density expected from theory. Nonequilibrium quasiparticles extract energy from the qubit mode and induce discrete changes in qubit offset charge, a potential source of dephasing. Here we show that a dominant mechanism for quasiparticle poisoning in superconducting qubits is direct absorption of high-energy photons at the qubit junction. We use a Josephson junction-based photon source to controllably dose qubit circuits with millimeter-wave radiation, and we use an interferometric quantum gate sequence to reconstruct the charge parity on the qubit island. We find that the structure of the qubit itself acts as a resonant antenna for millimeter-wave radiation, providing an efficient path for photons to generate quasiparticle excitations. A deep understanding of this physics will pave the way to realization of next-generation superconducting qubits that are robust against quasiparticle poisoning and could enable a new class of quantum sensors for dark matter detection., Comment: 13 pages, 11 figures, 3 tables

21. Social power in the classroom: student attributions for compliance

Author

Abstract

This study assessed university students' attributions for compliance after envisioning their instructors attempting to influence them through the use of social power. Differences in student attributions were hypothesized based on student gender, region of residence within the United States, and class standing (i.e., lower vs. upper division). Participants (N = 326) completed a modified version of Raven, Schwarzwald, and Koslowsky's (1998) Interpersonal Power Inventory. The power dynamic between teachers and students differs from that of a more traditional supervisor--subordinate relationship. Support was not obtained for the hypothesis regarding student gender, while full support was obtained for the hypotheses regarding region of residence and class standing. Implications for instructors are discussed, as well as implications for future social power research.

Abstract

A new survey and spatial analysis enables the author to argue that inland examples of Easter Island's famous stone statues were not in transport to the coast but mark out ancient territories proposed by ethnologist Katherine Routledge in 1919. Keywords: Easter Island, statues, tracks, spatial analysis, territories, Introduction Polynesia's easternmost landmass, Rapa Nui (Easter Island), has attracted archaeological interest for more than a century. Although territoriality and monumental statuary have been addressed extensively in the past, spatial [...]

Abstract

For over a century, authorities have recognized cultural and psychological benefits of preserving national parks and wilderness areas. Yet, with increases in visitation and mechanized travel, air and noise pollution are intruding more and more into preserved natural areas. Psychological research shows that humans can detect very low levels of these pollutants in natural and laboratory settings, that air and noise pollution detract from the enjoyment of the visitor experience, and that people place a high value on naturally quiet, pollution-free settings. This article discusses how psychological research is essential for a more complete understanding of the value and the influence of both visibility and quiet surroundings with a focus on applied, field--based research in national parks and wilderness areas. The article concludes with recommendations for future directions in research in these areas and argues that implications of psychological research results should be addressed in the natural resource policy-making process. Keywords: visibility; noise effects; recreation; environmental stress
