Diffraction-free beams.

Abstract: It was recently predicted that nondiffracting beams, with beam spots as small as a few wavelengths, can exist and propagate in free space. We report the first experimental investigation of these beams.

Overview of self-determination theory: An organismic-dialectical perspective.

Abstract: In the classical, Aristotelian, view of human development, people arc assumed to possess an active tendency toward psychological growth and integration. Endowed with an innate stT·h~ng to exercise and elaborate their interests, individuals tt:nd naturally to seck challenges, to discover new perspectives, and 10 actively internalize and transform cultural practices. By stretching thei.r capacities and expressing thei.r talents and propensities, people actualize their human potentials. Within this perspective, active growth is complemented by a tendency toward synthesis, organization, or relative unity of both knowledge and personality. Moreover, the integration of that which is experienced providt-s the basis for a coherent sense of selfa sense of wholeness, vitalit}\ and integrity. To the degree that individuals have attained a sense of self, they can act in accord "~th, or be "true" to, that seU: T his general view of an active, integrating organism with the potential to a.ct from a coherent sense of self can be found in psychodynamic and humanistic theories of personality and in cognitive theories of development. For example, psychoanalytic theorists posit inherent activity and a synthetic function of the ego (Freud, 1927; Nun berg, 1931; Meissner, 1981; White, 1963), and humani.~tic psyclJOlogists postulate an actualizing tendency (Angyal, 1963; Maslow, 1955; Rogers, 1963). Similarly, many cognitive d<:vclopmcntal theories emphasize an organizational or imcgrativc tendency as an endogenous feature of the organism, proposing that development is clmracterized by an overarching organization function through which new self-extensions are brought into coherence with other cognitive stmctures (Piagct, 1971; 'vVerncr, 1948).
