A theoretical investigation of motivational patterns in athletes
… predictions for effort, performance and intrinsic interest that have not received attention in the sport literature. The subjects were 436 male, high school basketball players who completed a questionnaire assessing player demographics, intrinsic interest, perceived ability and goal …

Two photon parametric conversion of Moessbauer gamma rays
… but, furthermore, it is a process of fundamental intrinsic interest in quantum electrodynamics. We first calculate the S matrix for the parametric process and obtain from this the differential cross section. We then discuss the signal sharpening which occurs for coherent parametric conversion near …

Search and characterization of pulsars in southern globular clusters: new methodologies and results from an S-band survey
… fields, and relativistic gravity. Beyond their intrinsic interest, pulsars serve as powerful tools for precision astrophysics. Their stable emission enables tests of fundamental physics, studies of stellar evolution, and probes of the interstellar medium and Galactic structure. Globular clusters …
