There is a saying that theoretical constructions never go beyond experimental works in superconductor field. However, with recent year’s tremendous development of topological material, scientists realized that topological states of matter can actually be widespread, and hence the idea of topological superconductor became much more interesting and hence numerous theoretical works within the fram...

We developed a multidimensional coping inventory to assess the different ways in which people respond to stress. Five scales (of four items each) measure conceptually distinct aspects of problem-focused coping (active coping, planning, suppression of competing activities, restraint coping, seeking of instrumental social support); five scales measure aspects of what might be viewed as emotional-...

Americans age 12 or older experienced approximately 24.2 million violent and property victimizations in 2001 according to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Overall criminal victimizations included about 18.3 million property crimes (burglary, motor vehicle theft, and theft), 5.7 million violent crimes (rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault), and abo...

Abstract This collection of essays seeks to theorize the politics COVID-19 pandemic in international relations (IR). The contributions are driven by questions such as: How can theorizing help us understand these unsettled times? What kind crisis is this? shapes its politics? remains same and what has been or unsettling? In addressing questions, each participants considers we may already know ab...

In contrast to SPD matrices, few tools exist perform Riemannian statistics on the open elliptope of full-rank correlation matrices. The quotient-affine metric was recently built as quotient affine-invariant by congruence action positive diagonal space matrices had always been thought a homogeneous space. contrast, we view in this work Lie group and left-invariant metric. This unexpected new vie...
