  1. Abstract Are motivated students less likely to express negative achievement emotions in math, and how do teachers impact such academic beliefs? Guided by the situated expectancy-value theory and the control-value theory, this study is interested in how teacher support influences students’ negative affect in math through students’ perception of teacher support and students’ interest value (teacher-to-student transmission between and within classes). Thus, associations were modeled at the individual and classroom levels to investigate cross-level interactions. Using data from 1,429 students in grades 7–12 (49% males, 67% Hispanic Americans, 15% Asian Americans, 18% other racial/ethnic groups), cross-level indirect effects suggested an association of teacher-reported support for collaboration and cognitive support with decreasing negative affect through students’ perception of teacher support and students’ interest value. These associations were supported within but not between classes.

  3. A nuclear physics example of statistical bootstrap is used on the MARATHON nucleon structure function ratio data in the quark momentum fraction regions xB → 0 and xB → 1. The extrapolated F2 ratio as quark momentum fraction xB → 1 is Fn 2 F p 2 → 0.4 ± 0.05 and this value is compared to theoretical predictions. The extrapolated ratio when xB → 0 favors the simple model of isospin symmetry with the complete dominance of sea quarks at low momentum fraction. At high-xB, the proton quark distribution function ratio d/u is derived from the F2 ratio and found to be d/u → 1/6. Our extrapolated values for both the Fn 2 F p 2 ratio and the d/u parton distribution function ratio are within uncertainties of perturbative QCD values from quark counting, helicity conservation arguments, and a Dyson-Schwinger equation with a contact interaction model. In addition, it is possible to match the statistical bootstrap value to theoretical predictions by allowing two compatible models to act simultaneously in the nucleon wave function. One such example is nucleon wave functions composed of a linear combination of a quark-diquark state and a three-valence quark correlated state with coefficients that combine to give the extrapolated F2 ratio at xB = 1.
