    Theory of time-resolved photoelectron imaging: nonperturbative calculation for an internally converting polyatomic molecule

    No full text
    We present the first calculation of time-resolved photoelectron angular distributions for a polyatomic system. Our method takes rotations into exact account, treats the laser field nonperturbatively, and computes the electronic dynamics from first principles. Our results point to the information content of time-resolved photoelectron imaging observables and illustrate the role played by the field intensity.NRC publication: Ye

    Jacob of Sarug's Homily on Tamar (Gen 38)

    No full text
    This small volume contains an edition (from Vatican ms. 117) of Jacob of Sarug’s homily on Tamar (420 lines long). The full title is “On Tamar and on the Mystery of the Church.” The biblical narrative on which the poem is based (Gen 38) gives Jacob the opportunity to discuss various women in the early part of biblical history and in Jesus’ lineage, as well as the fact that a woman who is called a prostitute is in that lineage. Jacob explains how Scripture’s language is used in this regard

    Co-selection of Mercury and Multiple Antibiotic Resistances in Bacteria Exposed to Mercury in the Fundulus heteroclitus Gut Microbiome

    The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria is currently one of the most serious challenges to human health. To combat this problem, it is critical to understand the processes and pathways that result in the creation of antibiotic resistance gene pools in the environment. In this study we examined the effects of mercury (Hg) exposure on the co-selection of Hg and antibiotic resistant bacteria that colonize the gastrointestinal tract of the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), a small, estuarine fish. We examined this connection in two experimental systems: (i) a short-term laboratory exposure study where fish were fed Hg-laced food for 15 days and (ii) an examination of environmental populations from two sites with very different levels of Hg contamination. In the lab exposure study, fish muscle tissue accumulation of Hg was proportional to food Hg concentration (R2=0.99; p<0.0001). In the environmental study, fish from the contaminated site accumulated 3 fold more Hg compared to fish from the reference site (p<0.05). Further, abundance of the Hg resistance gene merA was more than 8 fold higher (p<0.0001) in DNA extracts of ingesta of fish from the contaminated site, suggesting adaptation to Hg. Finally, resistance to 3 or more antibiotics was more common in Hg resistant as compared to Hg sensitive bacterial colonies that were isolated from fish ingesta (p<0.001) demonstrating co-selection of Hg and antibiotic resistances. Together, our results highlight the possibility for the creation of antibiotic resistance gene pools as a result of exposure to Hg in contaminated environments.Peer reviewe

    Young African American fathers: an exploratory qualitative research study

    No full text
    This exploratory study examined the experiences of young (age 18-27) African American fathers and their transition into fatherhood. A qualitative analysis of ten interviews was completed using a grounded theory approach (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). For the past 15 years, academics, such as psychologists, social workers, anthropologists and economists, have paid close attention to fathers and issues related to fatherhood (Nelson, 2004). Such increased attention has resulted in greater government funding, the creation and sustaining of programs to support fathers’ transition to parenthood, and given rise to a national conversation about responsible fatherhood and healthy families. The media commonly engages in portraying African American fathers as “absent,” “non-residential,” “non-custodial,” “unavailable,” “non-married,” “irresponsible,” and “immature.” While this stereotype is not true for all African American families, demographic data reveal that the majority of African American children in contemporary society do not live in the same households as their biological fathers, or reside with them only periodically (Connor, 2004). Although households devoid of biological or legal fathers present are a growing concern across all ethnic groups in America, the situation is particularly alarming in the African American community (Deave & Johnson, 2008). This study explored the experiences and needs of young African American fathers and their transition into fatherhood. Participants related their experiences as fathers, identified who they turn for help, and described the parenting skills, if any, they had learned prior to becoming a parent. In addition, participants identified the topic areas they felt should be included in future fatherhood programs and what they enjoy most about parenting. Results from this study indicated various themes related to African American fathers’ experiences, such as peer and family support, preparation for fatherhood, positive advice for future fathers, unplanned parenthood, fatherhood involvement, and the definition of fatherhood. Implications for future research with regard to fathers, parenting programs, and mental health providers were also discussed.Psy. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Maurice Tamar Ingra

    Retelling the Story of Judah and Tamar in the Testament of Judah

    No full text
    Many Christians assume that Old Testament documents were  „Christianised. during the New Testament era, although the process predates the New Testament. This assumption may be premised on the lack of much information about how early Christians re-interpreted Old Testament stories to meet new trends of thinking during the Inter-Testament period. This paper, therefore, focuses on the story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38, which is retold in the Testament of Judah to discover the intentions and the worldviews of the author of the Testament of Judah. For the presupposition of this paper, the Testament of Judah will be studied as a Christian document. The other side of the debate that the Testaments are the works of a Jewish author is thus put aside at least for a while in this paper. This is because the Testaments look more like a Christian document than Jewish. As a result, the texts for comparison would be the LXX and the Greek version of theTestaments. The paper utilizes literary analyses of the two passages while it progresses through three main headings; the overall structure of the Testament of Judah, exegesis of the story of Judah and Tamar in both Genesis 38 and The Testament of Judah, an analysis of key characters and a summary of the significant differences between the two stories. The paper concludes that the world view of the author of the Testament thought of women as channels through which the devil overcomes man in battles of the mind, thereby, leading men into impurity. Hence, Bathshua and Tamar are thus presented as the „victimizers. while Judah is portrayed in the Testament as an old man who had gained experience with time whose strengths and weakness serve as example for his sons.  Keywords: Testament of Judah, Second Temple Judaism, Pseudepigrapha, Judah and Tamar, Retelling
