Taxation of Capital Gains in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada

We show that the discrete anomaly constraints governing popular non-Abelian symmetries of use in (e.g.) flavoured, supersymmetric, and dark matter model building typically subdivide into two classes differentiated by the simple restrictions they impose on the number of fields transforming under certain irreducible representations of the relevant groups. These constraints lead us both to generic conclusions for common Beyond-the-Standard-Model constructions (including rather powerful statements for Grand Unified theories) as well as to simplified formulae that can be rapidly applied to determine whether a given field and symmetry content suffers from gauge and gravitational anomalies

A Patient Centered Intervention to Promote Primary Care Based Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in patient\u27s age 25-74 in the world. Onset of disease is insidious and early intervention is the only way to reduce morbidity. On average only 60% of diabetic\u27s get an annual eye exam, but in the Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) that number is closer to 32%. This project sought to educate and encourage patients to take advantage of a new tele-medicine, primary care based diabetic retinopathy screening program starting at Brookfield Family Medicine (part of the WCHN).https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1479/thumbnail.jp

PRNG Random Numbers on GPU

Limited numerical precision of nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX and other GPUs requires careful implementation of PRNGs. The Park-Miller PRNG is programmed using G80’s native Value4f floating point in RapidMind C++. Speed up is more than 40. Code is available via ftp ftp://cs.ucl.ac.uk/genetic/gp-code/random-numbers/gpu park-miller.tar.g

Strengthening and Preserving Family is Essential to America\u27s Future

This editorial provides an overview of how the articles in this issue contextualize the wide-range of perceptions and practices that support (and sometimes undermine) family strengths. Data on the challenges facing today’s families are presented
