In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 85, 052508 (2012)], Gidopoulos and Lathiotakis discuss difficulties in solving the optimized effective potential (OEP) equation in a finite basis. We show that these difficulties are resolved by choosing basis sets that fulfill a balance condition. In particular, the nonanalyticity of the finite-basis OEP equation disappears in basis-set convergence. In connectio...

This informal report gives an update on our most recent activities on the DARPA PCES project. We summarize how we have realized to date the milestones established in our original PCES proposal (Section 2). We describe our initial efforts to recast our work in form that can be directly leveraged in the Boeing Boldstroke OEP and discuss how this initial effort has been received by the Boeing Bold...

The idea of microgrid, smart grid, and virtual power plant (VPP) is being developed to resolve the challenges climate change in 21st century, ensure use renewable energy electrical grid. For increasing demand for electricity, raising public consciousness about reducing carbon emission, microgrid established which transformed into a or grid with blessing modern communication systems, intelligenc...

Parental feeding practices reflecting coercive control are related to children's later eating behaviors, but the mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood. This study examined the relationships between recalled childhood experiences of parental pressure to eat and restriction and current food preoccupation, dieting, and emotional eating in a racially diverse sample of college...

When making placement decisions for juvenile offenders, court officers often consider the types of charges listed against them. We examined the pattern of offenses charged to residents of 7 types of placements in 1 county in Pennsylvania over a period of 2 years. Consistent, predictable patterns were found across placements, with more restrictive placements assigned to juveniles with more sever...

Family and personal factors that might be related to the development of food selection and eating patterns have not been well studied in children. The aim of this study was to examine whether such psychosocial factors differ in girls from four culturally diverse Girl Scout troops and how these factors are associated with dietary intakes. The social measures and dietary assessments were all obta...

We conducted a review of the peer-reviewed literature focused on conducting community health needs assessments and highlighted the necessary steps to conduct a community health needs assessment in a rural community. From the literature review, we identified three steps necessary— establishing partnerships, using a mixed methods approach, and disseminating results—to successfully conduct a needs...

In theory, usability work is an important and wellintegrated activity in developing software. In practice, however, collaboration on improving usability is ridden with challenges relating to conflicting professional goals, tight project schedules, and unclear usability findings. We study those challenges through 16 interviews with software developers, usability experts, and project managers. Fo...

statement of the problem: exposure to patients’ blood and body fluids would prone the dental students to the risk of blood borne infections. several studies have shown a high prevalence of these exposures in dental settings particularly in developing countries. however, few studies have evaluated the epidemiology of these exposures in dental students in iran. purpose: to assess the epidemiology...
