Abstract

Abstract This article presents the potential of a combined analysis of the JUNO and KM3NeT/ORCA experiments to determine the neutrino mass ordering. This combination is particularly interesting as it significantly boosts the potential of either detector, beyond simply adding their neutrino mass ordering sensitivities, by removing a degeneracy in the determination of ∆ m 31 2 $$ {m}_{31}^2 $$ between the two experiments when assuming the wrong ordering. The study is based on the latest projected performances for JUNO, and on simulation tools using a full Monte Carlo approach to the KM3NeT/ORCA response with a careful assessment of its energy systematics. From this analysis, a 5σ determination of the neutrino mass ordering is expected after 6 years of joint data taking for any value of the oscillation parameters. This sensitivity would be achieved after only 2 years of joint data taking assuming the current global best-fit values for those parameters for normal ordering.

Abstract

Abstract New developments in liquid scintillators, high-efficiency, fast photon detectors, and chromatic photon sorting have opened up the possibility for building a large-scale detector that can discriminate between Cherenkov and scintillation signals. Such a detector could reconstruct particle direction and species using Cherenkov light while also having the excellent energy resolution and low threshold of a scintillator detector. Situated deep underground, and utilizing new techniques in computing and reconstruction, this detector could achieve unprecedented levels of background rejection, enabling a rich physics program spanning topics in nuclear, high-energy, and astrophysics, and across a dynamic range from hundreds of keV to many GeV. The scientific program would include observations of low- and high-energy solar neutrinos, determination of neutrino mass ordering and measurement of the neutrino CP-violating phase $$\delta $$ δ , observations of diffuse supernova neutrinos and neutrinos from a supernova burst, sensitive searches for nucleon decay and, ultimately, a search for neutrinoless double beta decay, with sensitivity reaching the normal ordering regime of neutrino mass phase space. This paper describes Theia, a detector design that incorporates these new technologies in a practical and affordable way to accomplish the science goals described above.

Abstract

Wayne Velicer is remembered for a mind where mathematical concepts and calculations intrigued him, behavioral science beckoned him, and people fascinated him. Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin on March 4, 1944, he was raised on a farm, although early influences extended far beyond that beginning. His Mathematics BS and Psychology minor at Wisconsin State University in Oshkosh, and his PhD in Quantitative Psychology from Purdue led him to a fruitful and far-reaching career. He was honored several times as a high-impact author, was a renowned scholar in quantitative and health psychology, and had more than 300 scholarly publications and 54,000+ citations of his work, advancing the arenas of quantitative methodology and behavioral health. In his methodological work, Velicer sought out ways to measure, synthesize, categorize, and assess people and constructs across behaviors and time, largely through principal components analysis, time series, and cluster analysis. Further, he and several colleagues developed a method called Testing Theory-based Quantitative Predictions, successfully applied to predicting outcomes and effect sizes in smoking cessation, diet behavior, and sun protection, with the potential for wider applications. With $60,000,000 in external funding, Velicer also helped engage a large cadre of students and other colleagues to study methodological models for a myriad of health behaviors in a widely applied Transtheoretical Model of Change. Unwittingly, he has engendered indelible memories and gratitude to all who crossed his path. Although Wayne Velicer left this world on October 15, 2017 after battling an aggressive cancer, he is still very present among us.

Abstract

We present the calibration strategy for the 20 kton liquid scintillator central detector of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). By utilizing a comprehensive multiple-source and multiple-positional calibration program, in combination with a novel dual calorimetry technique exploiting two independent photosensors and readout systems, we demonstrate that the JUNO central detector can achieve a better than 1% energy linearity and a 3% effective energy resolution, required by the neutrino mass ordering determination.

Abstract

This paper describes the design, construction principles and operations of the distillation and stripping pilot plants tested at the Daya Bay Neutrino Laboratory, with the perspective to adapt these processes, system cleanliness and leak-tightness standards to the final full scale plants to be used for the purification of the liquid scintillator of the JUNO neutrino detector. The main goal of these plants is to remove radio impurities from the liquid scintillator while increasing its optical attenuation length. Purification of liquid scintillator will be performed with a system combining alumina oxide, distillation, water extraction and steam (or N 2 gas) stripping. Such a combined system will aim at obtaining a total attenuation length greater than 20 m @430 nm, and a bulk radiopurity for 238U and 232Th in the 10−15 ÷ 10−17 g/g range. The pilot plants commissioning and operation have also provided valuable information on the degree of reliability of their main components, which will be particularly useful for the design of the final full scale purification equipment for the JUNO liquid scintillator. This paper describes two of the five pilot plants since the Alumina Column, fluorescent material mixing and the Water Extraction plants are being developed by the Chinese part of the collaboration.

Abstract

The CRESST-III experiment which is dedicated to low-mass dark matter search uses scintillating CaWO$_4$ crystals operated as cryogenic particle detectors. Background discrimination is achieved by exploiting the scintillating light signal of CaWO$_4$ and by a novel active detector holder presented in this paper. In a test setup above ground, a nuclear-recoil energy threshold of $E_{th}=(190.6\pm5.2)$eV is reached with a 24g prototype detector, which corresponds to an estimated threshold of $\sim$50eV when being operated in the low-noise CRESST cryostat. This is the lowest threshold reported for direct dark matter searches. For CRESST-III phase 1, ten such detector modules were installed in the cryostat which have the potential to improve significantly the sensitivity to scatterings of dark matter particles with masses down to $\sim$0.1GeV/c$^2$., 12 pages, 5 figures

Abstract

Electron antineutrinos are detected in organic liquid scintillator based neutrino experiments by means of the inverse beta decay, producing both a positron and a neutron. The positron may form a bound state together with an electron, called positronium (Ps). The longer-lived spin state of Ps, orthopositronium (o-Ps) has a lifetime of about 3 ns in organic liquid scintillators (LS). Its formation changes the time distribution of photon emission, which affects positron reconstruction algorithms and allows the application of pulse shape discrimination (PSD) to distinguish electron from positron events. In this work we measured the lifetime τ 2 and formation probability I 2 of o-Ps in the linear alkylbenzene (LAB) based LS of the JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) experiment including wavelength shifters, obtaining τ 2 = 2 . 98 ns ± 0 . 05 ns and I 2 = 44 % ± 3 % . We are using a novel type of setup, which allows for additional means of background suppression compared to commonly used PALS (positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy) measurement setups.

Abstract

In this work we investigate the reflectivity of highly reflective multilayer polymer foils used in the CRESST experiment. The CRESST experiment searches directly for dark matter via operating scintillating CaWO$_4$ crystals as targets for elastic dark matter-nucleon scattering. In order to suppress background events, the experiment employs the so-called phonon-light technique which is based on the simultaneous measurement of the heat signal in the main CaWO$_4$ target crystal and of the emitted scintillation light with a separate cryogenic light detector. Both detectors are surrounded by a highly reflective and scintillating multilayer polymer foil to increase the light collection efficiency and to veto surface backgrounds. While this study is motivated by the CRESST experiment, the results are also relevant for other rare event searches using scintillating cryogenic bolometers in the field of the search of dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$). In this work a dedicated experiment has been set up to determine the relative reflectivity at 300 K and 20 K of three multilayer foils ("VM2000", "VM2002", "Vikuiti") produced by the company 3M. The intensity of a light beam reflected off the foil is measured with a CCD camera. The ratio of the intensities at 300 K and 20 K corresponds to the relative reflectivity change. The measurements performed in this work show no significant change in the reflectivity with temperature for all foils studied., Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures

Abstract

Abstract Peach allergy is among the most frequent food allergies in the Mediterranean area, often eliciting severe anaphylactic reactions in patients. Due to the risk of severe symptoms, studies in humans are limited, leading to a lack of therapeutic options. This study aimed to develop a peach allergy mouse model as a tool to better understand the pathomechanism and to allow preclinical investigations on the development of optimized strategies for immunotherapy. CBA/J mice were sensitized intraperitoneally with peach extract or PBS, using alum as adjuvant. Afterwards, extract was administered intragastrically to involve the intestinal tract. Allergen provocation was performed via intraperitoneal injection of extract, measuring drop of body temperature as main read out of anaphylaxis. The model induced allergy-related symptoms in mice, including decrease of body temperature. Antibody levels in serum and intestinal homogenates revealed a Th2 response with increased levels of mMCPT-1, peach- and Pru p 3-specific IgE, IgG1 and IgG2a as well as increased levels of IL-4 and IL-13. FACS analysis of small intestine lamina propria revealed increased amounts of T cells, neutrophils and DCs in peach allergic mice. These data suggest the successful establishment of a peach allergy mouse model, inducing systemic as well as local gastrointestinal reactions.

Subjects
Statistical hypothesis testing
Abstract

The classic edition of What If There Were No Significance Tests? highlights current statistical inference practices. Four areas are featured as essential for making inferences: sound judgment, meaningful research questions, relevant design, and assessing fit in multiple ways. Other options (data visualization, replication or meta-analysis), other features (mediation, moderation, multiple levels or classes), and other approaches (Bayesian analysis, simulation, data mining, qualitative inquiry) are also suggested.The Classic Edition's new Introduction demonstrates the ongoing relevance of the topic and the charge to move away from an exclusive focus on NHST, along with new methods to help make significance testing more accessible to a wider body of researchers to improve our ability to make more accurate statistical inferences. Part 1 presents an overview of significance testing issues. The next part discusses the debate in which significance testing should be rejected or retained. The third part outlines various methods that may supplement significance testing procedures. Part 4 discusses Bayesian approaches and methods and the use of confidence intervals versus significance tests. The book concludes with philosophy of science perspectives.Rather than providing definitive prescriptions, the chapters are largely suggestive of general issues, concerns, and application guidelines. The editors allow readers to choose the best way to conduct hypothesis testing in their respective fields. For anyone doing research in the social sciences, this book is bound to become'must'reading. Ideal for use as a supplement for graduate courses in statistics or quantitative analysis taught in psychology, education, business, nursing, medicine, and the social sciences, the book also benefits independent researchers in the behavioral and social sciences and those who teach statistics.

Abstract

Here, we examine the distribution, habitat use, and migratory destinations of North Pacific humpback whales wintering off Central America. Coastal boat surveys were conducted off Costa Rica and Panama between 1996 and 2003. In 1999, a broader survey was conducted along most of Central America. Over 23,000 km were surveyed, with the greatest effort off southern Costa Rica. We made 191 sightings of 320 individual humpback whales. Whales were seen between 14°N and 8°N, making this the most southerly of the North Pacific wintering areas. Encounters included singles, adult pairs, singers, and mother/calf pairs. Mother/calf pairs accounted for 27% of all groups sighted, which is one of the highest sighting rates reported among North Pacific wintering areas. Sixty percent of sightings occurred in depths

Abstract

Two studies examined the relationship between precollegiate advanced/enriched educational experiences and adult accomplishments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In Study 1, 1,467 13-year-olds were identified as mathematically talented on the basis of scores 500 (top 0.5%) on the math section of the Scholastic Assessment Test; subsequently, their developmental trajectories were studied over 25 years. Particular attention was paid to high-level STEM accomplishments with low base rates in the general population (STEM PhDs, STEM publications, STEM tenure, STEM patents, and STEM occupations). Study 2 retrospectively profiled the adolescent advanced/enriched educational experiences of 714 top STEM graduate students (mean age 25), and related these experiences to their STEM accomplishments up to age 35. In both longitudinal studies, those with notable STEM accomplishments manifested past histories involving a richer density of advanced precollegiate educational opportunities in STEM (a higher “STEM dose”) than less highly achieving members of their respective cohorts. While both studies are quasi-experimental, they suggest that for mathematically talented and academically motivated young adolescents, STEM accomplishments are facilitated by a rich mix of precollegiate STEM educational opportunities that are designed to be intellectually challenging, even for students at precocious developmental levels. These opportunities appear to be uniformly important for both sexes.

Abstract

This paper extends results on the distribution of the Fisher transform of the correlation coefficient (Fisher, 1921). Approaches to obtain exact moments of the Fisher transform for both null and non-null correlations are presented. We extend the classic series expansion formulae of Hotelling (1953) for the moments of the Fisher transform. These results are considered in the context of quadratic functions of the Fisher transform. Some applications of these results are discussed in the context of correlational hypothesis tests and confidence intervals, and a Monte Carlo experiment is used to demonstrate how application of these results impact the small sample performance of select tests on correlations.

Abstract

We examined the incidence of rake mark scars from killer whales Orcinus orca on the flukes of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae throughout the North Pacific to assess geo- graphic variation in predation pressure. We used 3650 identification photographs from 16 wintering or feeding areas collected during 1990 to 1993 to determine conservative estimates in the percentage of whales with rake mark scarring. Dramatic differences were seen in the incidence of rake marks among regions, with highest rates on wintering grounds off Mexico (26 vs. 14% at others) and feed- ing areas off California (20 vs. 6% at others), 2 areas between which humpback whales migrate. Although attacks are rarely witnessed, the prevalence of scars demonstrates that a substantial por- tion of animals are attacked, particularly those that migrate between California and Mexico. Our data also suggest that most attacks occur at or near the wintering grounds in the eastern North Pacific. The prevalence of attacks indicates that killer whale predation has the potential to be a major cause of mortality and a driving force in migratory behavior; however, the location of the attacks is inconsis- tent with the hypothesis that animals migrate to tropical waters to avoid predation. Our conclusion is that, at least in recent decades, attacks are made primarily on calves at the wintering grounds; this contradicts the hypothesis that killer whales historically preyed heavily on large whales in high- latitude feeding areas in the North Pacific.

Abstract

We examined the underwater behavior of blue whales using a suction-cup-attached video-imaging instrument (Crittercam). We made 13 successful deployments (defined as tag duration of >15 min and successful recovery of the tag and data) totaling 19 hours of Crittercams on blue whales off California and in the Sea of Cortez from spring through fall (26 February to 30 September) between 1999 and 2003. Whale diving depth and behavior varied widely by region and period, although deployments on different individuals in the same area and period often showed very similar feeding behavior. One deployment extending into night showed a diurnal shift in diving behavior with progressively shallower feeding dives as it became dark, with shift to shallow, apparently non-feeding dives during the night. Data and video from tags demonstrated that the characteristic series of vertical movements blue whales make at depth are lunges into dense aggregations of krill. These krill were visible streaming by the camera immediately before these lunges and more clearly when the whales' forward motion stopped as a result of the lunge. The progression of events leading up to and during the lunge could be documented from the head movement of whales and occasional views of the expanding throat pleats or lower jaw, and by changes in flow noise past the tag, indicating a rapid deceleration. One set of deployments in the Southern California Bight revealed consistent feeding at depths of 250-300 m, deeper than has been previously reported for blue whales. A loud blue whale vocalization was heard on only one deployment on a male blue whale in an interacting trio of animals.

Abstract

Certain populations of killer whales Orcinus orca feed primarily or exclusively on marine mammals. However, whether or not baleen whales represent an important prey source for killer whales is debatable. A hypothesis by Springer et al. (2003) suggested that overexploitation of large whales by industrial whaling forced killer whales to prey-switch from baleen whales to pin- nipeds and sea otters, resulting in population declines for these smaller marine mammals in the North Pacific and southern Bering Sea. This prey-switching hypothesis is in part contingent upon the idea that killer whales commonly attack mysticetes while they are in these high-latitude areas. In this study, we used photographic and sighting data from long-term studies of baleen whales in 24 regions worldwide to determine the proportion of whales that bear scars (rake marks) from killer whale attacks, and to examine the timing of scar acquisition. The results of this study show that there is con- siderable geographic variation in the proportion of whales with rake marks, ranging from 0% to >40% in different regions. In every region, the great majority of the scars seen were present on the whales' bodies when the animals were first sighted. Less than 7% (9 of 132) of scarred humpback whales with multi-year sighting histories acquired new scars after the first sighting. This suggests that most killer whale attacks on baleen whales target young animals, probably calves on their first migration from low-latitude breeding and calving areas to high-latitude feeding grounds. Overall, our results imply that adult baleen whales are not an important prey source for killer whales in high latitudes, and therefore that one of the primary assumptions underlying the Springer et al. (2003) prey-switching hypothesis (and its purported link to industrial whaling) is invalid.

Barrett’s (2007) article on “adjudging model fit” raises some important issues concerning the use of global fit indices to justify weak structural equation models, and recommends prohibition of future use of such indices. In this commentary, I critique Barrett’s presentation, and show that his recommendations are (a) unnecessarily regressive, and (b) likely to be ignored. Then I suggest a constructive alternative in line with the spirit of his concerns.

Abstract

Phage kappa of Seratia marcescens was treated with different mutagens to induce thermoconditional clear plaque-mutants. 176 mutants obtained were analysed by crosses and found to be located in clear plaque-region III. Two types resembling the mutants t2 and t1 of phage lambda were identified. Lysogens for the mutant 126 can be induced by heat and even by cold whereas they are scarcely inducible by uv. Nevertheless, a 126 prophage like a uv inducible ct 163 prophage can be sensitized to thermoinduction by short preirradiation if the cells are incubated for 30 to 45 min between uv exposure and heating. With ct 163 this time corresponds to the minimum extension of latent period after uv induction compared with infection at low moi. A mutant of clear plaque-region II, c154, shows an inverted thermoconditional behaviour forming clear plaques at 30 degrees C and turbid plaques due to lysogenization at 37 degrees C.

Abstract

Trait–State–Occasion (TSO) covariance models represent an important advance in methods for studying the longitudinal stability of latent constructs. Such models have only been examined under fairly restricted conditions (e.g., having only 2 tau-equivalent indicators per wave). In this study, Monte Carlo simulations revealed the effects of having 2 versus 3 indicators per wave and relaxing the within-wave tau equivalence. These modifications were examined under conditions that varied with regard to the within-wave trait variance and the cross-wave stability of occasion influences. In general, the TSO model performed well (i.e., few convergence problems or out-of-range parameter estimates) under most of these conditions; however, the likelihood of improper solutions increased when only 2 indicators were used per wave, when factor loadings were small, when the proportion of trait variance was either very high or very low, and when the occasion factor was highly stable. Based on these findings, recom...

Abstract

There is a common need in astroparticle experiments such as direct dark matter detection, 0{\nu}\b{eta}\b{eta} (double beta decay without emission of neutrinos) and Coherent Neutrino Nucleus Scattering experiments for light detectors with a very low energy threshold. By employing the Neganov-Luke Effect, the thermal signal of particle interactions in a semiconductor absorber operated at cryogenic temperatures, can be amplified by drifting the photogenerated electrons and holes in an electric field. This technology is not used in current experiments, in particular because of a reduction of the signal amplitude with time which is due to trapping of the charges within the absorber. We present here the first results of a novel type of Neganov-Luke Effect detector with an electric field configuration designed to improve the charge collection within the semiconductor., Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Journal of Low Temperature Physics

The latent trait-state-error model (TSE) and the latent state-trait model with autoregression (LST-AR) represent creative structural equation methods for examining the longitudinal structure of psychological constructs. Application of these models has been somewhat limited by empirical or conceptual problems. In the present study, Monte Carlo analysis revealed that TSE models tend to generate improper solutions when N is too small, when waves are too few, and when occasion factor stability is either too large or too small. Mathematical analysis of the LST-AR model revealed its limitation to constructs that become more highly auto-correlated over time. The trait-state-occasion model has fewer empirical problems than does the TSE model and is more broadly applicable than is the LST-AR model.

Abstract

Structural equation modeling is one of the most widely used statistical techniques in the social sciences, especially psychology. Its popularity and complexity have spawned a large number of “user-friendly” computer programs, training seminars, introductory textbooks, edited volumes, and an internet discussion group (SEMNET). A review of several introductory textbooks and an edited volume raises disturbing questions about the interplay between commercial development, statistical theory, and “practical” statistical education in this field.

Abstract

Hayduk and Glaser (2000) asserted that the most commonly used point estimate of the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation index of fit (Steiger & Lind, 1980) has two significant problems: (a) The frequently cited target value of. 05 is not a stable target, but a "sample size adjustment"; and (b) the truncated point estimate Rt = max(R, 0) effectively throws away a substantial part of the sampling distribution of the test statistic with "proper models," rendering it useless a substantial portion of the time. In this article, I demonstrate that both issues discussed by Hayduk and Glaser are actually not problems at all. The first "problem" derives from a false premise by Hayduk and Glaser that Steiger (1995) specifically warned about in an earlier publication. The second so-called problem results from the point estimate satisfying a fundamental property of a good estimator and can be shown to have virtually no negative implications for statistical practice.

Abstract

From 1986 to 1996 we examined the reproductive rates, calving rates, and reproductive histories of mature females as part of photo-identification studies of humpback whales that feed off California, Oregon, and Washington during summer and fall. Annual reproductive rates were measured by two methods: proportion of all whales that were calves based on sightings (0.6%-5.9% per year, mean = 3.6%, SD = 1.6) and based on individually identified animals (1.1%-8.0% per year, mean = 4.1%, SD = 1.8). The reproductive rate based on sightings varied significantly by year (G test, P < 0.001), region (G test, P < 0.001), and by month (G test, P < 0.05). Seventy-nine sexually mature females were identified with 97 calves out of a total of 844 known individuals over the 11 -yr study. Mother-calf separation on the feeding grounds was recorded in several instances. The apparent reproductive rates of this population are considerably lower than rates of 4%-15% reported from other feeding areas for this species. Out estimates are likely biased downward because this population has been increasing at about 5% per year. Calves may have been missed due to early weaning and because of out sampling from small boats late in the season. We also found evidence of geographic segregation of mother-calf pairs within out large study area. Despite these factors, we conclude the reproductive rate of this population appears to be lower than has been reported in other areas.

Abstract

The migratory destinations of humpback whales that feed off California. Oregon and Washington were determined using photo-identification. Fluke photographs of 594 individuals were taken between 1981 and 1992 and compared to collections from 9 wintering regions in the North Pacific: Ogasawara (162) and Okinawa (17) islands of Japan; the Big Island and Maui (634 for both) and Kauai (384) of Hawaii; the Revillagigedo Archipelago (450), the mainland coast (383) and Baja Peninsula (471) of Mexico; and Central America (31). A total of 160 matches were found to 6 central and eastern North Paclfic wintering regions, with most from Central America, Baja, and mainland Mexico. Of whales identified off Central America, 84 % were resighted off California-Washington, this high rate of interchange suggests that whales in these tropical waters appear to be comprised entirely of animals from the California-Washington feeding aggregation. Humpback whales seen off Central America were reslghted disproportionately off southern California while those from mainland ~Vexico tended to be seen off northern California-Washington. From 157 same-season migratory transits documented, the shortest were 29 d to Baja and 56 d to Costa Rica and the longest distance was 5322 km. Of the California-Washington whales with known sex, the proportion of males identified at a wintering region was significantly higher than females (2.2:1, p < 0.05).

Abstract

Two special genes carried in pairs by the native prophages y and psi of Serratia marcescens HY, with functionally rather similar counterparts each, were assigned to restriction fragments and tested for homology. The y genes any and sky, as well as the psi genes anp and skp, are specifically activated by infection of HY cells with kappa phage. The kappa genes exerting this effect are tay for y and tap for psi. By means of tay and tap mutants, insertions of phage Mu DNA in the relevant parts of y and psi prophage, respectively, could be discovered. These insertions and subsequent deletions of Mu were the basis of our studies. The use of Mu was made possible by the isolation of an HY variant giving appropriate plaques with Mu particles of the G(-) type. In the case of another HY variant, Mu plaque formation depended on the presence of a host range mutation isolated by its ability to allow plaque formation on E. coli C, an indicator only for G(-) particles. Unexpectedly, this HY strain was an indicator of both G(-) and G(+) particles, but unfortunately had become adsorption resistant to y and psi. As an accessory result, it provided evidence for a second restriction/modification system. In both cases the O-specific polysaccharides were reduced. The main results of our paper concerning the two pairs of y and psi genes are as follows: the orders any-sky and anp-skp correspond with each other in y and psi; the sky gene, just as the skp gene, lies near one prophage end. However, despite the similarity in function and order, these genes are not homologous, in contrast to any and anp, which are at least partially homologous. The homologous regions of y and psi amount to only about 0.5 kbp. Another observation was that bacteria with a Mu insertion near the skp end of psi prophage were no longer cured of psi when infected with kappa tay-l, in contrast to the efficient curing observed with an ordinary psi prophage.

Generalization of the Steiger‐Lind root mean square error of approximation fit indexes and interval estimation procedure to models based on multiple independent samples is discussed. In this article, we suggest an approach that seems both reasonable and workable, and caution against one that definitely seems inappropriate.

Abstract

In the late 1970s, 563 intellectually talented 13-year-olds (identified by the SAT as in the top 0.5% of ability) were assessed on spatial ability. More than 30 years later, the present study evaluated whether spatial ability provided incremental validity (beyond the SAT’s mathematical and verbal reasoning subtests) for differentially predicting which of these individuals had patents and three classes of refereed publications. A two-step discriminant-function analysis revealed that the SAT subtests jointly accounted for 10.8% of the variance among these outcomes ( p < .01); when spatial ability was added, an additional 7.6% was accounted for—a statistically significant increase ( p < .01). The findings indicate that spatial ability has a unique role in the development of creativity, beyond the roles played by the abilities traditionally measured in educational selection, counseling, and industrial-organizational psychology. Spatial ability plays a key and unique role in structuring many important psychological phenomena and should be examined more broadly across the applied and basic psychological sciences.

Abstract

Nearly 70 years ago, eminent mathematician Edwin Bidwell Wilson attended a dinner at Harvard where visitor Charles Spearman discussed the "two-factor theory" of intelligence and his just-released book The Abilities of Man. Wilson, having just discovered factor indeterminacy, attempted to explain to Spearman and the assembled guests that Spearman's two-factor theory might have a non-uniqueness problem. Neither Spearman nor the guests could follow Wilson's argument, but Wilson persisted, first through correspondence, later through a series of publications that spanned more than a decade, involving Spearman and several other influential statisticians in an extended debate. Many years have passed since the Spearman-Wilson debates, yet the fascinating statistical, logical, and philosophical issues surrounding factor indeterminacy are very much alive. Equally fascinating are the sociological issues and historical questions surrounding the way indeterminacy has periodically vanished from basic textbooks on factor analysis. In this article, I delineate some of these historical-sociological issues, and respond to a critique from some recent commentators on the history of factor indeterminacy.

Abstract

The usual discordant U/Pb zircon age patterns for intrusives in orogenic belts impede and exact determination of the time of emplacement. They are the product of multiple overprinting and of the presence of inherited zircon. Dating of monophase zircons crystallized during a single event may yield higher age resolution and results that are easier to interpret. During magma crystallization, zircon is generated over a range of PTX conditions, whereas rock-forming minerals grow under more limited conditions and their relative ages can be determined petrographically. Zircons formed during earlier stages of magma crystallization and included in such mineral constituents are shielded from subsequent reactions outside the carrier mineral. Following partial melting of the protolith or xenolith assimilation, newly crystallizing rock-forming minerals may include zircon xenocrysts as individual grains. Using this insight and to facilitate the analysis of monophase zircons included in petrogenetically defined constituent minerals, we have introduced additional steps in the mineral separation procedure. We found the effort worthwhile in that the magmatic zircons extracted from plagioclase yielded the most concordant intrusive ages, in contrast to zircons from microcline or from the interstices. Also, inherited zircons occurring as individual grains in magmatic feldspar appear to have preserved some rudimentary morphology and a less disturbed radiogenic Pb composition, which allows us to distinguish provenance from discrete protoliths. We were thus able to resolve small but structurally supported age differences between two groups of Variscan intrusives in the central Swiss Alps. We obtained 299.4 ± 1.2 Ma for the crystallization age of the granite-gneiss in the Gotthard massif with inherited zircons that suggest generation from Late Proterozoic (∼ 735 Ma) and Mid-Proterozoic (∼ 1760 Ma) protoliths. The massive leucocratic granites on the margin of the granite-gneiss yielded an intrusive age of 294.3 ± 1.1 Ma with an inherited grain implying a source of Caledonian vintage.

Abstract

Core Affect is a state accessible to consciousness as a single simple feeling (feeling good or bad, energized or enervated) that can vary from moment to moment and that is the heart of, but not the whole of, mood and emotion. In four correlational studies (Ns = 535, 190, 234, 395), a 12-Point Affect Circumplex (12-PAC) model of Core Affect was developed that is finer grained than previously available and that integrates major dimensional models of mood and emotion. Self-report scales in three response formats were cross-validated for Core Affect felt during current and remembered moments. A technique that places any external variable into the 12-PAC showed that 29 of 38 personality scales and 30 of 30 mood scales are significantly related to Core Affect, but not in a way that revealed its basic dimensions.
