Abstract

The Data Quality Segment Database (DQSEGDB) software is a database service, backend API, frontend graphical web interface, and client package used by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), Virgo, GEO600 and the Kamioka Gravitational wave detector for storing and accessing metadata describing the status of their detectors. The DQSEGDB has been used in the analysis of all published detections of gravitational waves in the advanced detector era. The DQSEGDB currently stores roughly 600 million metadata entries and responds to roughly 600,000 queries per day with an average response time of 0.223 ms., Comment: 11 pages, 2 tables, 1 figure, submitted to SoftwareX

3. Influences on Teacher Efficacy of Preservice Music Educators

Author

Fisher, Ryan A., Summitt, Nancy L., Koziel, Ellen B., and Hall, Armand V.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that influence preservice music teacher efficacy. Participants in this study were undergraduate music education students (N = 124), a convenience sample taken from six mid-South university music education programs in the United States. To explore the factors influencing preservice music teacher efficacy, a survey was sent to participants. The survey consisted of demographic information (race, gender, classification, etc.), questions about the predictor variables, and the Preservice Music Teacher Efficacy Scale (PMTES). Multiple regression revealed that the predictor variables accounted for 38% (R[superscript 2] = 0.38; adjusted R[superscript 2] = 0.33) of the variance in the PMTES. Professional Disposition Scale score ([beta] = 0.35, p < 0.001) and Music Performance Efficacy Scale score ([beta] = 0.39, p < 0.001) contributed the greatest to the regression model. Based on these findings, music teacher education programs may consider implementing a type of professional disposition measurement throughout music education students' undergraduate education. The results also reinforce the importance of developing music performance skills as part of a music education program.

Author

Fisher, Ryan Austin, Summitt, Nancy L., and Koziel, Ellen B.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the voice change and voice part assignment of male middle school choir members. Volunteers (N = 92) were recruited from three public middle school choral programs (Grades 6-8). Participants were audio-recorded performing simple vocal tasks in order to assess vocal range and asked to share the music they were currently singing in class. Results revealed 23.91% of participants' voices could be categorized as unchanged, 14.13% as Stage 1, 3.26% as Stage 2, 10.87% as Stage 3, 26.09% as Stage 4, and 21.74% as Stage 5. The majority of sixth-grade participants were classified as unchanged or in Stage 1 of the voice change and the majority of eighth-grade participants were classified in Stages 4 to 5 of the voice change. Of the participants labeled "tenors" in their choir, over 60% were classified as either unchanged voices or in Stage 1 of the voice change.

5. A Comparison of Facial Muscle Activation for Vocalists and Instrumentalists

Author

Fisher, Ryan A., Hoult, Aubrey R., and Tucker, W. Steven

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the muscle activation of singers and instrumentalists while performing simple vocal exercises. Volunteer participants (N = 28) were undergraduate music majors and minors, with an equal number being vocalists and instrumentalists. Participants performed five vowel sounds (ah, eh, ee, oh, oo), while electromyography of the zygomaticus and masseter muscles was sampled at 1,000 Hz. A statistically significant multivariate analysis of variance effect was obtained and follow-up analyses of variance showed instrumentalists had more masseter muscle activation than vocalists when performing "eh" and "ee." Instrumentalists also had more zygomaticus muscle activation than vocalists when performing the "eh" vowel, but vocalists had more zygomaticus muscle activation when performing the "ah" vowel.

8. Effects of Age, Experience, and Instruction on Elementary Music Teacher Movement Self-Efficacy: A Pilot Study

Author

Fisher, Ryan and Rose, Paige

Abstract

As one of the recognized media of the Orff-Schulwerk method of music instruction, movement is fundamental to music specialists' teaching. It can embody the mantra of "sound before sign," and provide the means by which students experience the kinesthetic learning that is so natural to their musical development. Because there are multiple variables that may affect self-efficacy, it is important to discover their relationships in the field of music education, specifically as it relates to teachers' own movement development and confidence level. The purpose of this research was to measure the effects of age, experience, and instruction on elementary music teacher movement self-efficacy. This pilot study was designed to examine differences in the overall pretest scores of Level I and Level II participants. Volunteer participants (N = 23) in this study were enrolled in Level 1 (n = 14) or Level 2 (n = 9) of a two-week American Orff-Schulwerk Association (AOSA), approved training workshop held at a Southern university. Participants completed the Movement Self-Efficacy Scale for Elementary Music Teachers (MSES), a measure created by the researchers, before beginning the Orff workshop and immediately following the last movement class on the last day of the workshop (pre-test, posttest design). To determine whether Level I and Level II participants differed on the MSES pretest, a one-way, between subjects ANOVA was performed. A mixed ANOVA with repeated measures was calculated to examine the effects of instruction on Level 1 participants' movement self-efficacy, with between-subjects variables of teaching experience and age compared. Overall results indicate that the Level I participants had significantly lower movement self-efficacy than Level II participants upon entering Orff Schulwerk movement training. Results also indicate that Orff Schulwerk Level I movement instruction may significantly increase participants' movement self-efficacy. The increase in movement self-efficacy for Level II participants may not be as substantial due to the ceiling effect, or could be attributed to differences in the amount of instruction between levels. Results from this study also show that neither age nor years of experience appear to have an impact on movement self-efficacy results.

Abstract

We present constraints on cosmological and astrophysical parameters from high-resolution microwave background maps at 148 GHz and 218 GHz made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in three seasons of observations from 2008 to 2010. A model of primary cosmological and secondary foreground parameters is fit to the map power spectra and lensing deflection power spectrum, including contributions from both the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect and the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect, Poisson and correlated anisotropy from unresolved infrared sources, radio sources, and the correlation between the tSZ effect and infrared sources. The power ell^2 C_ell/2pi of the thermal SZ power spectrum at 148 GHz is measured to be 3.4 +\- 1.4 muK^2 at ell=3000, while the corresponding amplitude of the kinematic SZ power spectrum has a 95% confidence level upper limit of 8.6 muK^2. Combining ACT power spectra with the WMAP 7-year temperature and polarization power spectra, we find excellent consistency with the LCDM model. We constrain the number of effective relativistic degrees of freedom in the early universe to be Neff=2.79 +\- 0.56, in agreement with the canonical value of Neff=3.046 for three massless neutrinos. We constrain the sum of the neutrino masses to be Sigma m_nu < 0.39 eV at 95% confidence when combining ACT and WMAP 7-year data with BAO and Hubble constant measurements. We constrain the amount of primordial helium to be Yp = 0.225 +\- 0.034, and measure no variation in the fine structure constant alpha since recombination, with alpha/alpha0 = 1.004 +/- 0.005. We also find no evidence for any running of the scalar spectral index, dns/dlnk = -0.004 +\- 0.012., Comment: 26 pages, 22 figures. This paper is a companion to Das et al. (2013) and Dunkley et al.

11. A Comparison of Collegiate Ensemble Members' Preferences of Teacher Interpersonal Behaviors

Author

Royston, Natalie Steele and Fisher, Ryan A.

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine collegiate band, choir, and orchestra members' preferred teacher interpersonal behaviors. The sample (N = 705) was composed of band, choir, and orchestra members at six universities. Participants completed the Teacher Interaction Preference Questionnaire (TIPQ). Descriptive results showed that all sub-groups most preferred the dominant-cooperative (DC) behaviors, followed by submissive-cooperative (SC) behaviors, and least preferred the dominant-oppositional (DO) behaviors. Three one-way, between-subjects ANOVAs were used with ensemble type (band, choir, and orchestra) as the independent variable and the TIPQ category (DC, SC, DO) as the dependent variable. A main effect was found for ensemble on the TIPQ-SC category with band and choir participants having a significantly higher preference for submissive-cooperative teacher interactions than orchestra participants. These findings indicate that the use of a formative assessment tool could be valuable to the music teacher in gauging preferences and effectiveness in the music classroom.

12. Debating Assessment in Music Education

Author

Fisher, Ryan

Abstract

Music education organizations achieved a huge success in Texas several years ago when legislation declared music as a part of the core curriculum. Similarly, more recent national education legislation like No Child Left Behind has recognized music as a core curricular subject. Since that time, little has been done to assess music students to ensure a set of basic skills and knowledge is being achieved. While national and state music standards exist, these standards, in many cases, are not mandatory and merely serve as a guide or recommendations for music educators to follow. Other core subjects endure severe oversight and rigorous testing at the state and local levels to measure whether or not students are attaining minimum standards. Some music educators are pushing for national testing of music students to demonstrate that music has an academically measurable component. Yet other music educators are fearful that assessment of music education will have the same negative effects that other core subject high-stakes testing has had on schools. This article serves to discuss the current debate on national music assessment and to argue that music education's place in the core curriculum demands an increase in oversight through standardized music assessment of students in music education classes.

Abstract

We present a description of the data reduction and mapmaking pipeline used for the 2008 observing season of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). The data presented here at 148 GHz represent 12% of the 90 TB collected by ACT from 2007 to 2010. In 2008 we observed for 136 days, producing a total of 1423 hours of data (11 TB for the 148 GHz band only), with a daily average of 10.5 hours of observation. From these, 1085 hours were devoted to a 850 deg^2 stripe (11.2 hours by 9.1 deg) centered on a declination of -52.7 deg, while 175 hours were devoted to a 280 deg^2 stripe (4.5 hours by 4.8 deg) centered at the celestial equator. We discuss sources of statistical and systematic noise, calibration, telescope pointing, and data selection. Out of 1260 survey hours and 1024 detectors per array, 816 hours and 593 effective detectors remain after data selection for this frequency band, yielding a 38% survey efficiency. The total sensitivity in 2008, determined from the noise level between 5 Hz and 20 Hz in the time-ordered data stream (TOD), is 32 micro-Kelvin sqrt{s} in CMB units. Atmospheric brightness fluctuations constitute the main contaminant in the data and dominate the detector noise covariance at low frequencies in the TOD. The maps were made by solving the least-squares problem using the Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient method, incorporating the details of the detector and noise correlations. Cross-correlation with WMAP sky maps, as well as analysis from simulations, reveal that our maps are unbiased at multipoles ell > 300. This paper accompanies the public release of the 148 GHz southern stripe maps from 2008. The techniques described here will be applied to future maps and data releases., Comment: 20 pages, 18 figures, 6 tables, an ACT Collaboration paper

Abstract

We present constraints on cosmological parameters based on a sample of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich-selected galaxy clusters detected in a millimeter-wave survey by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. The cluster sample used in this analysis consists of 9 optically-confirmed high-mass clusters comprising the high-significance end of the total cluster sample identified in 455 square degrees of sky surveyed during 2008 at 148 GHz. We focus on the most massive systems to reduce the degeneracy between unknown cluster astrophysics and cosmology derived from SZ surveys. We describe the scaling relation between cluster mass and SZ signal with a 4-parameter fit. Marginalizing over the values of the parameters in this fit with conservative priors gives sigma_8 = 0.851 +/- 0.115 and w = -1.14 +/- 0.35 for a spatially-flat wCDM cosmological model with WMAP 7-year priors on cosmological parameters. This gives a modest improvement in statistical uncertainty over WMAP 7-year constraints alone. Fixing the scaling relation between cluster mass and SZ signal to a fiducial relation obtained from numerical simulations and calibrated by X-ray observations, we find sigma_8 = 0.821 +/- 0.044 and w = -1.05 +/- 0.20. These results are consistent with constraints from WMAP 7 plus baryon acoustic oscillations plus type Ia supernoava which give sigma_8 = 0.802 +/- 0.038 and w = -0.98 +/- 0.053. A stacking analysis of the clusters in this sample compared to clusters simulated assuming the fiducial model also shows good agreement. These results suggest that, given the sample of clusters used here, both the astrophysics of massive clusters and the cosmological parameters derived from them are broadly consistent with current models., Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures.

Abstract

We present measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope at 148 GHz and 218 GHz, as well as the cross-frequency spectrum between the two channels. Our results clearly show the second through the seventh acoustic peaks in the CMB power spectrum. The measurements of these higher-order peaks provide an additional test of the {\Lambda}CDM cosmological model. At l > 3000, we detect power in excess of the primary anisotropy spectrum of the CMB. At lower multipoles 500 < l < 3000, we find evidence for gravitational lensing of the CMB in the power spectrum at the 2.8{\sigma} level. We also detect a low level of Galactic dust in our maps, which demonstrates that we can recover known faint, diffuse signals., Comment: 19 pages, 13 figures. Submitted to ApJ.

Abstract

We present a new calibration method based on cross-correlations with WMAP and apply it to data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). ACT's observing strategy and map making procedure allows an unbiased reconstruction of the modes in the maps over a wide range of multipoles. By directly matching the ACT maps to WMAP observations in the multipole range of 400 < ell < 1000, we determine the absolute calibration with an uncertainty of 2% in temperature. The precise measurement of the calibration error directly impacts the uncertainties in the cosmological parameters estimated from the ACT power spectra. We also present a combined map based on ACT and WMAP data that has high signal-to-noise over a wide range of multipoles., Comment: Submitted to ApJ.

17. Freiligrath’s Gift: A Marxian Roadmap for the Climate Crisis

Abstract

The “very gist, the living soul, of Marxism” (per Lenin) is a concrete analysis of a concrete situation. Such a situation is the climate crisis: an exigent issue for humankind and nature. No longer the exclusive purview of scientists, it has emerged into the mainstream media, political debate, and real lives of those suffering periodic climatic catastrophes: the climate crisis is a labyrinthine global threat. It straddles capital, value, production, class, corporate power, geopolitics, and diplomacy. This paper provides a synthesis of certain writings by Karl Marx over 1844–75 (including his articulation of the public trust doctrine), several contemporary theorists in the Marxian tradition, and other radical voices as they relate to the climate crisis. It also features cameo appearances by topical literary figures, including Marx’s friend Ferdinand Freiligrath, whose serendipitous gift of G.W.F. Hegel’s Logic enhanced Marx’s draft manuscript Grundrisse and subsequent Captial. The paper argues that Marxian dialectics—with its dimensions of philosophy of internal relations, process of abstraction, and dialectical laws—is an appropriate tool for analyzing the climate crisis, particularly in light of the exigency’s interconnectedness. Frederick Engels—who defines dialectics as “the science of universal inter-connection”—writes, “[Marx] was the first to have brought to the fore again the forgotten dialectical method, its connection with Hegelian dialectics and its distinction from the latter, and at the same time to have applied this method.” The subject of dialectics, according to Bertell Ollman, is “change, all change, and interaction, all kinds and degrees of interaction” and the key problem addressed by dialectics is how to “think about change and interaction so as not to miss or distort the real changes and interactions that we know, in a general way at least, are there.” And, as John Berger writes, “Never before has the devastation caused by the pursuit of profit, as defined by capitalism, been more extensive than it is today. Almost everybody knows this. How then is it possible not to heed Marx who prophesied and analyzed the devastation?”

18. Effects of Conducting Plane on Band and Choral Musicians' Perceptions of Conductor and Ensemble Expressivity

Author

Silvey, Brian A. and Fisher, Ryan A.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether one aspect of conducting technique, the conducting plane, would affect band and/or choral musicians' perceptions of conductor and ensemble expressivity. A band and a choral conductor were each videotaped conducting 1-min excerpts from Morten Lauridsen's "O Magnum Mysterium" while using a high, medium, and low conducting plane. These six videos then were synchronized with an appropriately corresponding identical high-quality band or choral audio excerpt. College ensemble members (N = 120; band, n = 60; choral, n = 60) viewed all six videos and rated the expressivity of both the conductor and the ensemble. Through the use of a forced-choice task, they also provided one brief comment about either the conductor or the ensemble. Results indicated that conducting plane significantly affected ratings of both conductor and ensemble expressivity. A significant interaction was found between conducting plane (high, medium, and low) and ensemble type (band or choir audio excerpt heard) with regard to conductor expressivity ratings. Participants found the choir conductor conducting at the medium plane to be slightly more expressive than the band conductor conducting at the same plane. Conversely, participants rated the expressivity of the band conductor slightly higher than the choir conductor at both the high and low conducting planes. Participants' written comments were directed predominantly at the conductor rather than the ensemble, and the high-conducting-plane videos elicited the most negative comments.

19. The Effects of Vocal Register Use and Age on the Perceived Vocal Health of Male Elementary Music Teachers

Author

Fisher, Ryan A. and Scott, Julie K.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vocal register use and age on the perceived vocal health of male elementary music teachers. Participants (N = 160) consisted of male elementary music teachers from two neighboring states in the south-central region of the United States. Participants responded to various demographic questions and completed the Singing Voice Handicap Index-10. To examine the possible effects of vocal register use and age on the participants' vocal health, a two-way, between-subjects analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted. Vocal register use and age served as the independent variables with the Singing Voice Handicap Index-10 as the dependent variable. Results from the ANOVA revealed no main effect for vocal register use, F(2,147) = 2.20, p = 0.89, ?[superscript 2] = 0.03, or age, F(3,147) = 0.98, p = 0.41, ?[superscript 2] = 0.02. No statistically significant interaction was found.

20. The Impacts of the Voice Change, Grade Level, and Experience on the Singing Self-Efficacy of Emerging Adolescent Males

Author

Fisher, Ryan A.

Abstract

The purposes of the study are to describe characteristics of the voice change in sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade choir students using Cooksey's voice-change classification system and to determine if the singing self-efficacy of adolescent males is affected by the voice change, grade level, and experience. Participants (N = 80) consisted of volunteer sixth-grade, seventh-grade, and eighth-grade males enrolled in a public school choral program. Participants completed the Singing Self-Efficacy Scale for Emerging Adolescent Males (SSES). After completing the SSES, participants were individually audio-recorded performing simple vocal exercises to attain each boy's vocal range. Results revealed that 45% of sixth-grade participants, 48.15% of seventh-grade participants, and 87.88% of eighth-grade participants were classified as changing voices. Results of a three-way between-subjects ANOVA revealed no main effect for voice-change stage or grade level. A main effect was found for experience, favoring participants with 3 or more years of experience in choir. No statistically significant interactions were found.

Fisher, Ryan A.

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to compare the age of onset of the voice change in African American, White, and Hispanic male students, as well as to describe characteristics of the changing male voice in fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students, using Cooksey's maturation stages. Participants included volunteers from two urban elementary schools, five suburban elementary schools, one suburban middle school, and one urban middle school (African American n = 62, White n = 58, and Hispanic n = 77). Participants were recorded individually performing three ascending and three descending glissandi on an "ah" syllable. Results indicated that approximately 46% of fourth-grade participants, 62% of fifth-grade participants, and 67% of sixth-grade participants were classified as having changing voices. Results of a one-way, between-subjects ANOVA revealed no significant main effect for ethnicity, although a larger percentage of African American participants' voices were classified as changing voices as compared with those of Hispanic and White participants. The overall mean age of onset for participants in this study was approximately 11.20 years of age. (Contains 4 tables.)

Abstract

We present a new calibration method based on cross-correlations with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and apply it to data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). ACT's observing strategy and mapmaking procedure allows an unbiased reconstruction of the modes in the maps over a wide range of multipoles. By directly matching the ACT maps to WMAP observations in the multipole range of 400 < I < 1000, we determine the absolute calibration with an uncertainty of 2% in temperature. The precise measurement of the calibration error directly impacts the uncertainties in the cosmological parameters estimated from the ACT power spectra. We also present a combined map based on ACT and WMAP data that has a high signal-to-noise ratio over a wide range of multipoles.

Abstract

We report on 23 clusters detected blindly as Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) decrements in a 148 GHz, 455 deg (exp 2) map of the southern sky made with data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope 2008 observing season. All SZ detections announced in this work have confirmed optical counterparts. Ten of the clusters are new discoveries. One newly discovered cluster, ACT-CL 10102-4915, with a redshift of 0.75 (photometric), has an SZ decrement comparable to the most massive systems at lower redshifts. Simulations of the cluster recovery method reproduce the sample purity measured by optical follow-up. In particular, for clusters detected with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than six, simulations are consistent with optical follow-up that demonstrated this subsample is 100% pure, The simulations further imply that the total sample is 80% complete for clusters with mass in excess of 6 x 10(exp 14) solar masses referenced to the cluster volume characterized by 500 times the critical density. The Compton gamma-X-ray luminosity mass comparison for the 11 best-detected clusters visually agrees with both self-similar and non-adiabatic, simulation-derived scaling laws

Abstract

Catch‐and‐release ice angling is a popular recreational activity, but little is known about the postrelease behavior of fish in the winter. Cold water temperatures and an ambush hunting strategy may constrain Northern Pike Esox lucius, limiting their postrelease movements to a small area near the capture location. We used manual acoustic telemetry to track 15 Northern Pike ranging from 56 to 98.5 cm total length for up to 7 d after catch‐and‐release ice angling in Buffalo Pound Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada. All of the fish but one moved unexpectedly long distances of several km over the tracking period. For the fish that were tracked over all 7 d, path lengths traveled ranged from 1.4 to 18.4 km. The minimum daily distance traveled ranged from 0 to 4.6 km and varied significantly by tracking day; the fish moved shorter distances on day 4 postrelease. There was a significant interaction between fish size and day postrelease; larger fish moved shorter minimum daily distances and dispersed shorter distances from the release site over the first 2 d of tracking. In contrast, by 5 d after release, both the largest and smallest fish had dispersed the longest distances from the release site and intermediate‐sized fish dispersed the least. The cumulative path length traveled by day 5 of tracking did not reveal any significant size‐based patterns. Our study raises the possibility that relatively large movements may be common for Northern Pike in the winter despite cold water temperatures and their expected foraging behavior. In addition, postrelease behavior varies with fish size. Habitat and space requirements for Northern Pike in the winter can encompass much larger areas and more habitat features than has been previously envisioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We report on a new all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 475-2000 Hz and with a frequency time derivative in the range of [-1.0,+0.1]×10-8 Hz/s. Potential signals could be produced by a nearby spinning and slightly nonaxisymmetric isolated neutron star in our Galaxy. This search uses the data from Advanced LIGO's first observational run O1. No gravitational-wave signals were observed, and upper limits were placed on their strengths. For completeness, results from the separately published low-frequency search 20-475 Hz are included as well. Our lowest upper limit on worst-case (linearly polarized) strain amplitude h0 is ∼4×10-25 near 170 Hz, while at the high end of our frequency range, we achieve a worst-case upper limit of 1.3×10-24. For a circularly polarized source (most favorable orientation), the smallest upper limit obtained is ∼1.5×10-25. © 2018 American Physical Society.

Abstract

Common Grackles (Quiscalus quiscula) are experiencing a steep continent-wide population decline but are expanding in the prairie pothole region. From 2015-2020 we conducted a mark-recapture banding study to determine adult survival of Common Grackles near Edenwold, Saskatchewan. We used a Modified Australian crow trap to capture and band 313 grackles and recaptured 55 individuals a total of 75 times in subsequent years; a 22% recapture rate. We calculated an annual apparent adult survival of 69%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Graduate music education programs may also require evidence of your music teaching credentials and some require a minimum number of years of teaching experience to be eligible for their program. If you have strong writing skills and an inquisitive mind, music degrees with more of a theoretical, philosophical, or research-focused emphasis like music education or music history may couple well with your skills and passion. F or many, earning a bachelor's degree in music was a monumental achievement that required tremendous sacrifice, hard work, and perseverance. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Context. The Ara OB1a association is a nearby complex in the fourth Galactic quadrant where a number of young/embedded star clusters are projected close to more evolved, intermediate age clusters. It is also rich in interstellar matter, and contains evidence of the interplay between massive stars and their surrounding medium, such as the rim HII region NGC 6188. Aims. We provide robust estimates of the fundamental parameters (age and distance) of the two most prominent stellar clusters, NGC 6167 and NGC 6193, that may be used as a basis for studing the star formation history of the region. Methods. The study is based on a photometric optical survey (UBVIHα) of NGC 6167 and NGC 6193 and their nearby field, complemented with data from 2MASS-VVV, UCAC3, and IRAC-Spitzer in this region. Results. We produce a uniform photometric catalogue and estimate more robustly the fundamental parameters of NGC 6167 and NGC 6193, in addition to the IRAS 16375-4854 source. As a consequence, all of them are located at approximately the same distance from the Sun in the Sagittarius-Carina Galactic arm. However, the ages we estimate differ widely: NGC 6167 is found to be an intermediate-age cluster (20-30 Myr), NGC 6193 a very young one (1-5 Myr) with PMS, Hα emitters and class II objects, and the IRAS 16375-4854 source is the youngest of the three containing several YSOs. Conclusions. These results support a picture in which Ara OB1a is a region where star formation has proceeded for several tens of Myr until the present. The difference in the ages of the different stellar groups can be interpreted as a consequence of a triggered star formation process. In the specific case of NGC 6193, we find evidence of possible non-coeval star formation., Instituto de Astrofísica de La Plata, Facultad de Ciencias Astronómicas y Geofísicas

Abstract

We present a new calibration method based on cross-correlations with WMAP and apply it to data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). ACT's observing strategy and map making procedure allows an unbiased reconstruction of the modes in the maps over a wide range of multipoles. By directly matching the ACT maps to WMAP observations in the multipole range of 400 < ell < 1000, we determine the absolute calibration with an uncertainty of 2% in temperature. The precise measurement of the calibration error directly impacts the uncertainties in the cosmological parameters estimated from the ACT power spectra. We also present a combined map based on ACT and WMAP data that has high signal-to-noise over a wide range of multipoles., Submitted to ApJ. This is a companion to Das et al (2010) and Dunkley et al (2010)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of self-listening on self-evaluation accuracy. Twenty-six undergraduate musicians self-evaluated their individual performances of a musical excerpt. Volunteer participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. The experimental group members listened to the audio playback of their self-recorded performance before self-evaluating, while control group members did not. Both groups read information about self-evaluation before scoring their performances. Participants' self-evaluations were compared to the mean scores of a panel of expert judges to determine the accuracy of the selfevaluations. The panel of judges listened to the recordings of the individual performances before completing assessments. The participants and the judges used a researcher-modified version of the Woodwind Brass Solo Evaluation Form to assess the individual performances. Self-accuracy was calculated as the absolute difference between students' self-scores and the mean of the three judges' scores; a small absolute difference indicated high self-evaluation accuracy. For purposes of data analyses, the 2 groups (self-listening and nonlistening) served as the independent variable, and the total self-evaluation accuracy score served as the dependent variable. A one-way, between subjects ANOVA revealed no main effect for treatment group on total self-evaluation accuracy, F(1, 24) = 3.08, p = .09, η2 = .11. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
