ARIADNE (Axion Resonant Interaction Detection Experiment): an NMR-Based Axion Search, Snowmass LOI
ARIADNE (Axion Resonant InterAction Detection Experiment): an NMR-based Axion Search, Snowmass LOI Andrew A. Geraci,∗ Aharon Kapitulnik, William Snow, Joshua C. Long, Chen-Yu Liu, Yannis Semertzidis, Yun Shin, and Asimina Arvanitaki (Dated: August 31, 2020) The Axion Resonant InterAction Detection Experiment (ARIADNE) is a collaborative effort to search for the QCD axion using techniques based on nuclear magnetic resonance. In the experiment, axions or axion-like particles would mediate short-range spin-dependent interactions between a laser-polarized 3He gas and a rotating (unpolarized) tungsten source mass, acting as a tiny, fictitious magnetic field. The experiment has the potential to probe deep within the theoretically interesting regime for the QCD axion in the mass range of 0.1- 10 meV, independently of cosmological assumptions. In this SNOWMASS LOI, we briefly describe this technique which covers a wide range of axion masses as well as discuss future prospects for improvements. Taken together with other existing and planned axion experi- ments, ARIADNE has the potential to completely explore the allowed parameter space for the QCD axion. A well-motivated example of a light mass pseudoscalar boson that can mediate new interactions or a “fifth-force” is the axion. The axion is a hypothetical particle that arises as a consequence of the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) mechanism to solve the strong CP problem of quantum chromodynamics (QCD)[1]. Axions have also been well motivated as a dark matter candidatedue to their \invisible" nature[2]. Axions can couple to fundamental fermions through a scalar vertex and a pseudoscalar vertex with very weak coupling strength. -
Early Adolescent Perceptions Regarding Sources of Sexual Health Information
EARLY ADOLESCENT PERCEPTIONS REGARDING SOURCES OF SEXUAL HEALTH INFORMATION By KYLEA K.

This age group represents a population open to learning more information about sexuality and signifies a developmental period where effective sexuality interventions may begin (Ott & Pfieffer, 2009; Grossman et al., 2014). Early adolescence is a critical period when adolescents’ initial views on sexuality are formed. Influencing early adolescent sexual health attitude and behaviors are many sources of information, including parents, peer groups, teachers, and media sources (Batchelor et al., 2004; Grossman et al., 2014; Sennott & Mollborn, 2011; Secor-Turner et al., 2011). Literature focusing on older adolescents (Mollborn & Sennott, 2015; Secor-Turner et al., 2011) may not adequately convey information that is relevant to early adolescents, as sexual health and informational needs may differ. -

All characters exist all at once all as one. The landscape in which the experience is set could be a metropolitan studio apartment, an AA meeting, a deep dream or a dead star (more chance of it being a karaoke booth tbh). The I in the text is collective, the time suggestive. The simultaneity of the four parts of the text can be portrayed any which way. Me to me: You have a responsibility towards your audience. Please keep all the ducks in a row! The ducks: 1 CAST OF CHARACTERS When reading this story out loud, please use the following voices: ELETTRA: fast-paced, sweet, melodic. LOTTE (V.O.): distant but sensitive, straight forward.

The 'Friend Zone': a World Away from Boyfriend-Dom
The ‘Friend Zone’: A world away from boyfriend-dom by: Joe Guerricabeitia Introduction Male/female relationships are by their very nature complicated. The innate desires of sexuality automatically bring forth considerations of attraction and desire. Both men and women have a tendency to size-up and categorize a person almost immediately based on their own rules of attraction, often without realization. Old adages about the importance of first impressions abound and in the world of relationships (big ‘R’ or small ‘r’) these are ever important. Assessments are made and labels applied. In contemporary American society this emphasis on first impressions and compatibility has played out in the ever-popular business of speed-dating. In this burgeoning multi-million dollar business, people actually pay to spend a kwality1 2-5 minutes with a person before pushing off and moving on to the next potential match. All of this in the name of love! In this author’s opinion such frivolity abounds in the world of relationships and yet such efforts point to the overwhelming desire, and simultaneous frustration in coupling up. The richest, smartest, most attractive and most powerful people often fail in these endeavors, so ¿how can we, as the millions of twenty-something’s in American society hope to fare any better? Especially, when we have much less time, money and other resources at our disposal. If I had the answer, I wouldn’t be sitting here, writing in a windowless, cinderblock laboratory, avoiding the work before me. Instead I would be enjoying the company of someone wonderful, all the while telling the world what I knew in the hope that more people could find that which is most often described as true love2. -
1 Chapter Title: the Amorality of Romantic
Chapter Title: The Amorality of Romantic Love Chapter Author: Arina Pismenny ORCID 0000-0001-8988-5121 [2021. Penultimate version of chapter in R. Fedock, M. Kühler, & R. Rosenhagen (Eds.), Love, Justice, and Autonomy: Philosophical Perspectives (pp. 23–42). Routledge. Consult published version to quote.] Abstract It has been argued that romantic love is an intrinsically moral phenomenon – a phenomenon that is directly connected to morality. The connection is elucidated in terms of reasons for love, and reasons of love. It is said that romantic love is a response to moral reasons – the moral qualities of the beloved. Additionally, the reasons that love produces are also moral in nature. Since romantic love is a response to moral qualities and a source of moral motivation, it is itself moral. This chapter aims to cast doubt on both these claims. By employing the model of emotional rationality it shows that a moralistic fallacy is committed when reasons for love are construed as moral. Reasons of love are also not essentially moral but rather of both moral and nonmoral kinds. Reasons of love are in part determined by cultural narratives and norms pertaining to love. Romantic love is not moral in nature. Morality is extrinsic to love. Keywords: morality, romantic love, emotions, rationality, reasons Introduction Philosophical discussions of romantic love1 are often concerned with its moral dimensions. Indeed, some leading accounts characterize it as an intrinsically moral phenomenon. This means either or both of two things: (1) when in love, we respond to the moral qualities of our beloveds, and (2) love is the primary motivation for treating our beloveds morally. -
Interaction of Quantitative Variables
Regression Including the Interaction Between Quantitative Variables The purpose of the study was to examine the inter-relationships among social skills, the complexity of the social situation, and performance in a social situation. Each participant considered their most recent interaction in a group of 10 or larger that included at least 50% strangers, and rated their social performance (perf) and the complexity of the situation (sitcom), Then, each participant completed a social skills inventory that provided a single index of this construct (soskil). The researcher wanted to determine the contribution of the “person” and “situation” variables to social performance, as well as to consider their interaction. Descriptive Statistics N Minimum Maximum Mean Std. Deviation SITCOM 60 .00 37.00 19.7000 8.5300 SOSKIL 60 27.00 65.00 49.4700 8.2600 Valid N (listwise) 60 As before, we will want to center our quantitative variables by subtracting the mean from each person’s scores. We also need to compute an interaction term as the product of the two centered variables. Some prefer using a “full model” approach, others a “hierarchical model” approach – remember they produce the same results. Using the hierarchical approach, the centered quantitative variables (main effects) are entered on the first step and the interaction is added on the second step Be sure to check the “R-squared change” on the Statistics window SPSS Output: Model 1 is the main effects model and Model 2 is the full model.

Theory and Experiment in the Analysis of Strategic Interaction
CHAPTER 7 Theory and experiment in the analysis of strategic interaction Vincent P. Crawford One cannot, without empirical evidence, deduce what understand- ings can be perceived in a nonzero-sum game of maneuver any more than one can prove, by purely formal deduction, that a particular joke is bound to be funny. Thomas Schelling, The Strategy of Conflict 1 INTRODUCTION Much of economics has to do with the coordination of independent decisions, and such questions - with some well-known exceptions - are inherently game theoretic. Yet when the Econometric Society held its First World Congress in 1965, economic theory was still almost entirely non-strategic and game theory remained largely a branch of mathematics, whose applications in economics were the work of a few pioneers. As recently as the early 1970s, the profession's view of game-theoretic modeling was typified by Paul Samuelson's customarily vivid phrase, "the swamp of n-person game theory"; and even students to whom the swamp seemed a fascinating place thought carefully before descending from the high ground of perfect competition and monopoly. The game-theoretic revolution that ensued altered the landscape in ways that would have been difficult to imagine in 1965, adding so much to our understanding that many questions whose strategic aspects once made them seem intractable are now considered fit for textbook treatment. This process was driven by a fruitful dialogue between game theory and economics, in which game theory supplied a rich language for describing strategic interactions and a set of tools for predicting their outcomes, and economics contributed questions and intuitions about strategic behavior Cambridge Collections Online © Cambridge University Press, 2006 Theory and experiment in the analysis of strategic interaction 207 against which game theory's methods could be tested and honed. -

(Through case study presentations) Learn how to best assess and differentiate between situations that involve behaviors defined as stalking or sexual harassment, and behaviors unique to individuals with ASD due to the challenges in the area of social communication and social interaction. Create an individualized plan to address cases involving inappropriate behaviors in relationships. Common myth and misconception “Individuals living with ASD are not interested in romantic relationships…” How do you feel about Romantic Relationships? Are romantic relationships something you have desired or picture for yourself? 1 10/10/2017 What we know about ASD and romantic relationships… Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder desire and seek relationships. Social communicational deficits often affect and pose challenges to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder to form and maintain healthy relationships. Due to social ineptness, caused by social communication and social interaction deficits, individuals with ASD may engage in inappropriate or intrusive dating behavior as an attempt to initiate interpersonal relationships, which can lead to serious consequences (Stoke & Newton,2004).
