1. Critical Thinking and Emotional Well-Being.

Author

Gratton, Claude

Abstract

Describes some pedagogical challenges of teaching critical thinking. Proposes one way of partly meeting them: the application of critical thinking skills to beliefs responsible for emotions. Suggests ways of introducing the topic of emotions in critical thinking courses, describes a project assigned to students, and provides a model of the project. (RS)

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 epidemics quickly propagated worldwide, sorting virus genomic variants in newly established propagules of infections. Stochasticity in transmission within and between countries or an actual selective advantage could explain the global high frequency reached by some genomic variants. Using statistical analyses, demographic reconstructions, and molecular dynamics simulations , we show that the globally invasive G614 spike variant i) underwent a significant demographic expansion in most countries not explained by stochastic effects nor by overrepresentation in clinical samples; ii) increases the spike S1/S2 furin-like site conformational plasticity (short-range effect), and iii) modifies the internal motion of the receptor-binding domain affecting its cross-connection with other functional domains (long-range effect). Our results support the hypothesis of a selective advantage at the basis of the spread of the G614 variant, which we suggest may be due to structural modification of the spike protein at the S1/S2 proteolytic site, and provides structural information to guide the design of variant-specific drugs.

Abstract

The branching fraction of the ψ(2S) decay into τ + τ - has been measured for the first time using the BES detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider. The result is B ττ =(2.710. 43±0.55)× 10 -3 , where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. This value, along with those for the branching fractions into e + e - and μ + μ - of this resonance, satisfy well the relation predicted by the sequential lepton hypothesis. Combining all these values with the leptonic width of the resonance, the total width of the ψ(25) is determined to be (252±37) keV. ©2002 The American Physical Society.

Abstract

The Beijing Spectrometer (BES) detector is a general purpose solenoid detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider in Beijing, China. The recent upgrade of the initial BES detector to the improved BES II detector is described. A new drift chamber, time-of-flight counter, luminosity monitor compatible with a low-β lattice was built as well as the vertex chamber.

Abstract

Using a sample of 3.8 M (Formula presented) events accumulated with the BES detector, the process (Formula presented) is studied. The angular distributions are compared with the general decay amplitude analysis of Cahn. We find that the dipion system requires some D wave amplitude, as well as S wave. On the other hand, the (Formula presented) relative angular momentum is consistent with being pure S wave. The decay distributions have been fit to heavy quarkonium models, including the Novikov-Shifman model. This model, which is written in terms of the parameter (Formula presented) predicts that D wave pions should be present. We determine (Formula presented) based on the joint (Formula presented) distribution. The fraction of D wave amplitude as a function of (Formula presented) is found to decrease with increasing (Formula presented) in agreement with the model. We have also fit the Mannel-Yan model, which is another model that allows D wave pions. © 2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract

The first measurement of (Formula presented) and an upper limit for (Formula presented) are determined from 22.3 (Formula presented) of (Formula presented) annihilation data at a c.m. energy of 4.03 GeV. The data were recorded by the Beijing Spectrometer (BES) at BEPC. A recoil charge method is applied to charm threshold data to determine the charge of the D meson in the recoil from (Formula presented) reconstructed (Formula presented) (Formula presented) mesons. The branching fractions (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) are determined from 10 events with a reconstructed D and a recoiling (Formula presented) In addition, a 90% C.L. upper limit of (Formula presented) is determined from a search for semileptonic decays of the (Formula presented) © 2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract

The cross section for charmed meson production at √s=4.03 and 4.14 GeV has been measured with the Beijing Spectrometer. The measurement was made using 22.3 pb-1 of e+e- data collected at 4.03 GeV and 1.5 pb-1 of e+e- data collected at 4.14 GeV. Inclusive observed cross sections for the production of charged and neutral D mesons and momentum spectra are presented. Observed cross sections were radiatively corrected to obtain tree level cross sections. Measurements of the total hadronic cross section are obtained from the charmed meson cross section and an extrapolation of results from below the charm threshold. ©2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract

In a sample of 7.8 million J/ψ decays collected in the Beijing Spectrometer, the process J/ψ→γη c is observed for five different η c decay channels: K + K - π + π - , π + π - π + π - , K±K S 0 π∓ (with K S 0 →π + π - ), φφ (with φ→K + K - ) and K + K - π 0 . From these signals, we determine the mass of η c to be 2976.6±2.9 ±1.3 MeV. Combining this result with a previously reported result from a similar study using ψ(2S)→γη c detected in the same spectrometer gives m ηc =2976.3±2.3±1.2 MeV. For the combined samples, we obtain Γ ηc =11.0±8.1±4.1 MeV. ©2000 The American Physical Society.

Abstract

The absolute inclusive branching fraction of (Formula presented) has been measured from data collected by the BES detector at a center-of-mass energy of 4.03 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 22.3 pb(Formula presented). At this energy, direct pair production (Formula presented) has been observed. We have selected (Formula presented) candidate events by reconstructing five hadronic decay modes (Formula presented), (Formula presented), (Formula presented), (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) and have searched for inclusive (Formula presented)’s in the recoiling (Formula presented). We observed three recoiling (Formula presented)’s in the 166.4 (Formula presented) 31.8 (Formula presented) candidate events, which leads to the absolute branching fraction (Formula presented) and (Formula presented). © 1998 The American Physical Society.

Abstract

A search is performed for the production of the (Formula presented) in (Formula presented) annihilation at a center-of-mass energy of 4.03 GeV using the BES detector operated at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC). The kinematic features of the reconstructed (Formula presented) signal are consistent with its being produced only in association with an energetic photon resulting from initial state radiation (ISR). Limits are placed on (Formula presented) production from the decay of unknown charmonia or metastable hybrids that might be produced in (Formula presented) annihilations at 4.03 GeV. Under the assumption that the observed cross section for (Formula presented) production is due entirely to ISR, the partial width (Formula presented) of the (Formula presented) is measured to be (Formula presented). © 1998 The American Physical Society.

15. Timers for Ordnance Symposium: Flutter Arming and Timing Mechanism for Fuzes

Abstract

The components in the conventional mechanical fuzing system for bombs include an arming vane to extract energy from the environment, high speed bearings to ensure proper rotational characteristics of the arming vanes, clutch or similar mechanism to sense a specific velocity threshold and a clock escapement or governor for proper delay arming of the fuze. This report is concerned with another mechanism that current exploratory development shows promise of accomplishing the same ends. The mechanism has the potential to become an inexpensive environmentally operated delay device that could effect a considerable savings if used on fin stabilized cluster bomblets. The operational basis of this arming mechanism is a controlled flutter phenomenon. A rectangular flat-plate oscillating member is pivoted about its midchord and has a spring member providing a restoring moment. Placed edgewise in a wind stream, the system is in unstable-stable equilibrium; at a predetermined air speed or above, aerodynamic lift on the flat plate overcomes the restoring moment and the oscillator vibrates.
