The expansion of school “choice” (i.e., voucher) programs, which subsidize private school tuition with taxpayer funds, has sparked debate over their fiscal impact. An EdChoice report claims these subsidies save taxpayers money since per-pupil voucher costs are typically lower than public school spending. However, its estimate of how many students...
Wind direction observations are instrumental weather records that hold promise for improving historical weather reanalyses and extending them deeper into the past. Two methods are developed for assimilating wind direction observations. The first uses a linear observation model with Gaussian additive error, and is thus amenable to use in...
The first measurements of the Fourier coefficients (V n) of the azimuthal distributions of chargedhadrons emitted from photon-proton (γp) interactions are presented. The data are extracted from68.8 nb−1 of ultra-peripheral proton-lead (pPb) collisions at √sNN = 8.16 TeV using the CMS detector.The high energy lead ions produce a flux of...
Thank you for choosing Open Chemistry Online for your pursuit of chemistry knowledge! My name is Dr.Alex Saltzman and I look forward to walking you through chemistry’s unique view of the world.New for version 2 is the deployment of the course into a Canvas cartridge (import as “CommonCartridge 1.x Package”)....
This paper reports measurements of two-pionfemtoscopic correlations in Be+Be collisions at a beammomentum of 150A GeV/c (energy available in the center-of-mass system for nucleon pair √sNN = 16.84 GeV) by theNA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS accelerator. Theobtained momentum space correlation functions can be welldescribed by a Lévy distributed source...
Energetic electrons have been frequently observed during magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail. The acceleration process of the energetic electrons is not fully understood. In this paper, we select for a detailed study a case of energetic electron acceleration from the earlier reported interval of turbulent magnetic reconnection in Earth's...
Deep observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed an emerging population of red pointlike sources that could provide a link between the postulated supermassive black hole seeds and observed quasars. In this work, we present a JWST/NIRSpec spectrum from the JWST Cycle 1 UNCOVER Treasury survey of...
This data repository contains immunostained fluorescent images of porcine valve interstitial cells seeded on soft and stiff hydrogels which promote a quiescent fibroblast and activated myofibroblast phenotype, respectively. In addition, this repository contains immunostained fluorescent images of valve interstitial cells seeded on soft hydrogels and treated with the compound bpV(HOpic)...
The Fordham Institute published a report analyzing several perceived threats to educational opportunities for high-achieving students, contending that these threats come from those who are overly concerned about “equity” and seek to undermine programs designed for these students. It argues for expanding targeted programs, including what it calls “readiness grouping.”...
The double bass, with its substantial size, thick strings, and awkward weight distribution, presents ergonomic challenges for bassists. These features make it difficult to maneuver and can put individuals into uncomfortable positions, especially while performing in the extremities of the instrument. Comfortable, full body engagement is required to achieve a...
