The purpose of the present study was to extend a study by Yukhymenko-Lescroart and Sharma (2019,“The Relationship Between Faculty Members’ Passion for Work and Well-Being”) to test the relationship between passion for work and well-being using a…

A mathematical model was developed to study the voltage behavior of LixNi0.5Mn1.5O4(LNMO) electrode at particle scale. The phase transition process of Li1 → Li0.5 → Li1 in spinel LNMO was modeled by Avrami equation, which was incorporated into…

The voltage behavior of the LixNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) electrode was studied in this work. A thin-layer LNMO electrode was prepared for testing in a coin cell format where lithium metal was used as the counter electrode. A series of charge and discharge…

"This reader-friendly exploration of the primary forces relevant to punishment—poverty and political powerlessness—highlights the necessity for humane alternatives to our current incarceration binge. This provocative overview looks at the business of…

Creation of a classroom environment safe enough for students to expess their perspectives, hear classmates views and engage in classroom dialogue remains a major challenge in social work teaching. Intergroup dialogue and Theatre of the Oppressed are…

β-N-methyl-amino-L-alanine (BMAA) in the presence of bicarbonate (HCO3−) undergoes structural modifications generating two carbamate species, α-carbamate and β-carbamate forms of BMAA. The chemical structure of BMAA and BMAA-carbamate adducts…

Many-body physics poses one of the greatest challenges to science in the 21st century. Still more daunting is the problem of accurately calculating the properties of quantum many-body systems in the strongly correlated regime. Cold atomic gases…

This paper begins with a survey of some applications of Khovanov homology to low-dimensional topology, with an eye toward extending these results to sl(n) homologies. We extend Levine-Zemke’s ribbon concordance obstruction from Khovanov homology to…

We extend the well-known characterizations of convergence in the spaces lp (1 ≤ p < ∞) of p-summable sequences and c0 of vanishing sequences to a general characterization of convergence in a Banach space with a Schauder basis and obtain as instant…

Purpose Throughout the last decade, a number of empirical studies have assessed the effectiveness of body-worn cameras (BWCs) among law enforcement agencies across the United States. The purpose of this paper is to examine officers' perceptions…

Background: Patient education is associated with reduced hospital readmission rates, lower patient anxiety, and improvement in quality of life. Although nursing students report feeling ill-prepared and less confident in educating their patients in…

The Gaussian normal bases (GNBs) recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the five binary extension fields of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), are self-dual. Multiplication, is a complex, and…

We construct nonassociative quasi-stationary solutions describing deformations of Schwarzschild black holes, BHs, to ellipsoid configurations, which can be black ellipsoids, BEs, and/or BHs with ellipsoidal accretion disks. Such solutions are defined…

A recursive foot is one in which a foot is embedded inside another foot of the same type: e.g., iambic (iaσ(iaσσ́)) or trochaic (tr(trσ́σ)σ). Recent work has used such feet to model stress systems with full or partial ternary rhythm, in which stress…

This study investigates how adolescents growing up in a rapidly globalizing Thai city psychologically manage local and global values when considering their envisioned futures. Qualitative analysis of interviews conducted with 20 (16-18 years old)…

Ideas about quantum gravity often postulate that at some high energy/momentum scale there will be a fixed, minimal length. Such a minimal length can be phenomenologically investigated by modifying the usual Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation-ship,…

In quantum gravity it is generally thought that a modified commutator of the form [(x) over cap, (p) over cap] = ih(1 + beta p(2)) is sufficient to give rise to a minimum length scale. We test this assumption and find that different pairs of modified…

In quantum gravity it is generally thought that a modified commutator of the form [xˆ,pˆ]=iħ(1+βp2) is sufficient to give rise to a minimum length scale. We test this assumption and find that different pairs of modified operators can lead to the same…

Current approaches to quantum gravity suggest there should be a modification of the standard quantum mechanical commutator, [x^,p^]=iℏ. Typical modifications are phenomenological and designed to result in a minimal length scale. As a motivating…
