The structure of students' emotions experienced during a mathematical achievement test

Several models have been developed in order to categorize the numerous expressions that people use in order to describe their emotional experiences. The focus of the present study is on one of these theoretical classifications proposed by Pekrun (1992) specifically concerning emotions which are directly related to learning and achievement in mathematics. In his model, emotions are classified according to their valence (positive vs. negative) and their level of activation. In testing the assumptions of this model, we investigated students' enjoyment, anxiety, anger and boredom experienced before, during, and after the completion of a math test. Correspondence analyses which were used to generate a graphical illustration of structural interrelationships between these emotions provide empirical support for the theoretical classification.     

Partially Classical States of a Boson Field

Employing positive-definiteness arguments we analyse Boson field states, which combine classical and quantum mechanical features (signal and noise), in a constructive manner. Mathematically, they constitute Bauer simplexes within the convex, weak-*-compact state space of the C*-Weyl algebra, defined by a presymplectic test function space (smooth one-Boson wave functions) and are affinely homeomorphic to a state space of a classical field. The regular elements are expressed in terms of weak distributions (probability premeasures) on the dual test function space. The Bauer simplex arising from the bare vacuum is shown to generalize the quantum optical photon field states with positive P-functions.     

Synthesis of 5‐phenyl‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridines and 5‐phenyl‐6,7,8,9‐tetrahydro‐5H‐pyrido[3,2‐c]azepines as potential D1 receptor ligands

A new access to 5‐phenyl‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridines 25a‐28a (n=1) and 5‐phenyl‐6,7,8,9‐tetrahydro‐5H‐pyrido[3,2‐c]azepines 25b‐28b (n=2) has been developed by first preparing the functional pyridine moiety followed by intramolecular cyclization forming the partially reduced ring.     

Discovery of a new long-lived isomeric state in 125Ce

A new long-lived isomeric state in the near proton dripline nucleus ¹²⁵Ce has been identified with Schottky mass spectrometry at GSI. The excitation energy E ^* = 103(12)keV and the decay time of 193(1)s have been obtained from a single stored fully ionized ^125m Ce⁵⁸⁺ ion. The data implies an E3 transition and a 1/2⁺ assignment for the spin of the isomer.     

A note on the reflection principle for the biharmonic equation and the Stokes system

In this note, we discuss the reflection principle of the Stokes system in a half space for the threedimensional case, and of the biharmonic equation. Admitting different boundary conditions, we use the reflection principle to prove uniqueness of solutions of the Stokes system or the biharmonic equation in weightedLq-spaces
