This unique event involves representative citizens, each acting as host to an Eagle Scout at a dinner at the Officer\u27s Club, March Air Force Base, at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, February 14-, 1967. It will mean a great deal to the Scout assigned to you, to get to know you personally and to have a man of your standing interested in knowing him, and you, yourself, will find it a delightful experience. The Eagle Scou sponsoring o to you will Scout you spo Committee has invited you to have the opportunity of ys and being in attendance at this dinner. The cost he dinner, taxes, and gratuities for yourself and the ticket is enclosed - your Eagle is being sent a ticket For your information, we sent each Eagle Scout a questionnaire, which he fills out, giving pertinent information concerning himself. Enclosed is the information about your Eagle Scout. Please phone him and make transportation arrangements An Eagle Scout, as you probably know, has achieved the highest rank in Scouting and in doing so has had to meet the requirements in twenty-one Merit Badge subjects including various physical accomplishments. They are young men who are trained in those qualifications that contribute to good citizenship and leadership. They deserve recognition and the simulus that comes through a representative citizen of the community showing an interest in them. Robert F. Worley, Major General, Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Headquarters Tactical Air Command, Langley AFB, Virginia will be the speaker, Gen. Worley was born in Riverside & became an Eagle Scout in Troop 7, Riverside, in June, 1934. l4**4> /^ UA^XA\/ i71 3 H t^ z^p RSSAp k*--*- <A^. Sincerely yours, EAGLE RECOGNITION DINNER COMMITTEE Ends.

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
Understanding co-operative R&D activity: evidence from four European countries
No full textThis paper investigates co-operative research activity by firms using data from
the 3rd Community Innovation Survey for four countries, France, Germany, Spain and the
UK. We build on the Cassiman and Veugelers (CV) (2002) study of Belgian manufacturing
firms, by incorporating information on the service sector, and considering the role of public
support in affecting firms’ decisions to co-operate. Our results support those in CV, in that
we find a positive relationship between the likelihood of undertaking co-operative R&D
and both incoming knowledge spillovers and the extent to which firms find strategic
methods important in appropriating the returns to innovative activity. We find that public
support is positively related to the probability of undertaking co-operative agreements
particularly with regard to the likelihood of co-operation with the research base. We find
some evidence, in particular for Spain, that firms carry out co-operative R&D to overcome
excessive perceived risks and financial constraints
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)

No full textForeign ownership and productivity: new evidence from the service sector and the R&D lab
No full textThis paper examines the relationship between foreign ownership and
productivity, paying particular attention to two issues neglected in the existing literature –
the role of multinationals in service sectors and the importance of R&D activity conducted
by foreign multinationals. We review existing theoretical and empirical work, which
largely focuses on manufacturing, before presenting new evidence using establishment level
data on production, service and R&D activity for the United Kingdom. We find that
multinationals play an important role in service sectors and that entry of foreign
multinationals by takeover is more prevalent than greenfield investment. We find that
British multinationals have lower levels of labour productivity than foreign multinationals,
but the difference is less stark in the service sector than in the production sector, and that
British multinationals have lower levels of investment and intermediate use per employee.
We also find that foreign-owned multinationals conduct a substantial amount of UK R&D.
We discuss the implications of these and other findings for the policy debate on incentives
to influence multinational firms’ location choices

Gravitational collapse of massless scalar field in f(R) gravity
No full textWe study the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of massless scalar matter field in asymptotic flat spacetime in the Starobinsky R-2 gravity, one specific model in the f(R) gravity. In the Einstein frame of f(R) gravity, an additional scalar field arises due to the conformal transformation. We find that in addition to the usual competition between gravitational energy and kinetic energy in the process of gravitational collapse, the new scalar field brought by the conformal transformation adds one more competing force in the dynamical system. The dynamical competition can be controlled by tuning the amplitudes of the initial perturbations of the new scalar field and the matter field. To understand the physical reasons behind these phenomena, we analyze the gravitational potential behavior and calculate the Ricci scalar at center with the change of initial amplitudes of perturbations. We find rich physics on the formation of black holes through gravitational collapse in f(R) gravity.NNSF of ChinaSCI(E)[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
