Thedesignanduseof a new device for increasing low level Alpha counting efficiency of the standard AN/PDR-56 Alpha Particle Meter is described. Directions for its construction, list of materials required, photographs and diagrams are furnished. The practical application of shipboard utilization of such a device is pointed out. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION This report was completed in partial fulfi...

Cortisone acetate (Long & Miles, 1950) and hydro. cortisone (Long & Spensley, 1954) depress sensitivity to tuberculin in guinea pigs. This desensitization does not occur in guinea pigs mildly deficient in ascorbic acid, and is thought to be associated with the oxidation of ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid. There appears to exist an antagonism between corticosteroid desensitizing agents and...

We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the light-quark connected contribution to window observables associated with leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization anomalous magnetic moment muon, ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\mathrm{HVP},\mathrm{LO}}$. employ MILC Collaboration's isospin-symmetric QCD gauge-field ensembles, which contain four flavors dynamical highly improved staggered quarks lattice s...

Resting state functional connectivity reveals intrinsic, spontaneous networks that elucidate the functional architecture of the human brain. However, valid statistical analysis used to identify such networks must address sources of noise in order to avoid possible confounds such as spurious correlations based on non-neuronal sources. We have developed a functional connectivity toolbox Conn ( ww...

ion, and substitution is simple: fun replace_term (u,new) t = if t=u then new else case t of Fun(a,ts) => Fun(a, map (replace_term(u,new)) ts) | _ => t; fun abstract t = let fun abs i (Pred(a,ts)) = Pred(a, map (replace_term (t, Bound i)) ts) | abs i (Conn(b,As)) = Conn(b, map (abs i) As) | abs i (Quant(q,b,A)) = Quant(q, b, abs (i+1) A) in abs 0 end; fun subst_bound t = let fun subst i (Pred(a...

We give a soft geometric proof of the classical result due to Conn stating that a Poisson structure is linearizable around a singular point (zero) at which the isotropy Lie algebra is compact and semisimple.
