description: Novel energy-storage solutions are necessary for the transition from fossil to renewable energy sources. Auspicious candidates are so-called molecular solar thermal (MOST) systems. In our study, we investigate the surface chemistry of a derivatized norbornadiene/quadricyclane molecule pair. By using suitable push–pull substituents, a bathochromic shift of the absorption onset is achieved, allowing a greater overlap with the solar spectrum. Specifically, the adsorption and thermally induced reactions of 2-carbethoxy-3-phenyl-norbornadiene/quadricyclane are assessed on Pt(111) and Ni(111) as model catalyst surfaces by synchrotron radiation-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Comparison of the respective XP spectra enables the distinction of the energy-rich molecule from its energy-lean counterpart and allows qualitative information on the adsorption motifs to be derived. Monitoring the quantitative cycloreversion between 140 and 230 K spectroscopically demonstrates the release of the stored energy to be successfully triggered on Pt(111). Heating to above 300 K leads to fragmentation of the molecular framework. On Ni(111), no conversion of the energy-rich compound takes place. The individual decomposition pathways of the two isomers begin at 160 and 180 K, respectively. Pronounced desorption of almost the entire surface coverage only occurs for the energy-lean molecule on Ni(111) above 280 K; this suggests weakly bound species. The correlation between adsorption motif and desorption behavior is important for applications of MOST systems in heterogeneously catalyzed processes.

description: This paper discusses a comprehensive Data Engineering Full Stack Framework for implementing Generative AI (GenAI) in financial risk management. We examine the challenges, propose solutions, and explore the application of various data tools directly relevant to the integration of GenAI in financial risk. In particular, we highlight how GenAI is transforming financial risk management by utilizing deep learning models to generate synthetic data for stress testing, anomaly detection, and risk modeling. We explore full-stack big data frameworks such as Apache Spark, Trino, Kubernetes, AWS SageMaker, and Databricks for scaling GenAI model deployment. Additionally, the paper provides a literature review on AI and GenAI applications in Trino, emphasizing query performance, optimization techniques, and AI-driven analytics. We investigate the bidirectional synergy between Trino and GenAI—how AI enhances Trino’s capabilities and how Trino facilitates advanced AI workloads. Key contributions include insights into Trino's scalability, AI-powered query execution, and the trade-offs between generative models and computational efficiency. Furthermore, we discuss deployment strategies leveraging AWS, Kubernetes, and Apache Spark for scalable risk computation. This paper also reviews the latest advancements in Azure-based AI agents and Kubernetes orchestration for AI/ML workloads, categorizing developments in agentic workflows, AI/ML orchestration, and AI-driven DevOps. Most of the work we have cited is very recent and less than 12 months old.

description: The present work is aimed to formulate nanoemulgel of crisaborole (CB) and evaluate its effectiveness against 2,4-Di-nitrochlorobenzene induced (DNCB) atopic dermatitis (AD) in mice. AD is a chronic inflammation of the skin affecting the quality of life. CB is a topical PDE4 inhibitor marketed as a 2% ointment. It however, possesses poor aqueous solubility. An o/w nanoemulsion shall exhibit an enhanced therapeutic effect owing to the increased solubility of CB and an augmented skin penetration. The addition of a gelling agent to form a nanoemulgel further provides ease of application to the patients. Nanoemulsion was prepared by aqueous titration method using caproyl PGMC, cremophore EL and propylene glycol as the oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant respectively. The formulations were characterized by their size, zeta potential and polydispersity index (PDI). 1% Carbopol 934 was used as the gelling agent to formulate nanoemulgel comprising of optimized nanoemulsion (NE 9). Ex vivo skin permeation of the CB nanoemulgel was compared with the CB ointment. Its therapeutic effect was evaluated in Balb/c mice. NE 9 comprised 7.49% oil, 37.45% Smix (1:3) and water 55.06%. Its particle size, PDI and zeta potential were 15.45 ± 5.265 nm, 0.098 and -17.9 ± 8.00 mV respectively. The nanoemulgel exhibited 3-fold higher permeation flux as compared to the ointment. In vivo studies demonstrated that the nanoemulgel provided better therapeutic effect than the ointment. We can thereby conclude that nanoemulgel formulation can be a successful drug delivery strategy for enhancing the therapeutic effect of CB.

description: The Galactic Centre (GC) has experienced a high degree of recent star-forming activity, as evidenced by the large number of massive stars currently residing there. The relative abundances of chemical elements in the GC may provide insights into the origins of this activity. Here, we present high-resolution $H$-band spectra of two Red Supergiants in the GC (IRS~7 and VR~5-7), and in combination with spectral synthesis we derive abundances for Fe and C, as well as other $α$-elements Ca, Si, Mg Ti and O. We find that the C-depletion in VR~5-7 is consistent with the predictions of evolutionary models of RSGs, while the heavy depletion of C and O in IRS~7's atmosphere is indicative of deep mixing, possibly due to fast initial rotation and/or enhanced mass-loss. Our results indicate that the {\it current} surface Fe/H content of each star is slightly above Solar. However, comparisons to evolutionary models indicate that the {\it initial} Fe/H ratio was likely closer to Solar, and has been driven higher by H-depletion at the stars' surface. Overall, we find $α$/Fe ratios for both stars which are consistent with the thin Galactic disk. These results are consistent with other chemical studies of the GC, given the precision to which abundances can currently be determined. We argue that the GC abundances are consistent with a scenario in which the recent star-forming activity in the GC was fuelled by either material travelling down the Bar from the inner disk, or from the winds of stars in the inner Bulge -- with no need to invoke top-heavy stellar Initial Mass Functions to explain anomalous abundance ratios.

description: We present a novel solution to the nature and formation of the initial state of the Universe. It derives from the physics of a generally covariant extension of Matrix theory. We focus on the dynamical state space of this background independent quantum theory of gravity and matter, an infinite dimensional, complex non-linear Grassmannian. When this space is endowed with a Fubini--Study-like metric, the associated geodesic distance between any two of its points is zero. This striking mathematical result translates into a physical description of a hot, zero entropy Big Bang. The latter is then seen as a far from equilibrium, large fluctuation driven, metastable ordered transition, a ``freezing by heating'' jamming transition. Moreover, the subsequent unjamming transition could provide a mechanism for inflation while rejamming may model a Big Crunch, the final state of gravitational collapse.

description: Antibiotic resistance and the ability to form biofilms of Enterococcus faecalis have compromised the choice of therapeutic options, which triggered the search for new therapeutic strategies, such as the use of phage endolysins and antimicrobial peptides. However, few studies have addressed the synergistic relationship between these two promising options. Here, we investigated the combination of the phage endolysin Ply2660 and the antimicrobial peptide LL-37 to target drug-resistant biofilm-producing E. faecalis. In vitro bactericidal assays were used to demonstrate the efficacy of the Ply2660–LL-37 combination against E. faecalis. Larger reductions in viable cell counts were observed when Ply2660 and LL-37 were applied together than after individual treatment with either substance. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the Ply2660–LL-37 combination could lead to severe cell lysis of E. faecalis. The mode of action of the Ply2660–LL-37 combination against E. faecalis was that Ply2660 degrades cell wall peptidoglycan, and subsequently, LL-37 destroys the cytoplasmic membrane. Furthermore, Ply2660 and LL-37 act synergistically to inhibit the biofilm formation of E. faecalis. The Ply2660–LL-37 combination also showed a synergistic effect for the treatment of established biofilm, as biofilm killing with this combination was superior to each substance alone. In a murine peritoneal septicemia model, the Ply2660–LL-37 combination distinctly suppressed the dissemination of E. faecalis isolates and attenuated organ injury, being more effective than each treatment alone. Altogether, our findings indicate that the combination of a phage endolysin and an antimicrobial peptide may be a potential antimicrobial strategy for combating E. faecalis.

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: With the development of the Internet and technology, the traditional market has become an electronic market, opening new horizons for trading. The Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) e-commerce has been growing rapidly and more businesses have used the e-commerce for selling and buying goods or services. For example, the plastic e-marketplaces allow companies to search the product and then contact with other companies electronically. The content of this dissertation is divided into three parts. The first part designs and implements negotiation agents, which allow traders to exchange electronic messages in a multi-agent system. The negotiation agent support the Estimated Reserved Price Range (ERPR) for the buyer in decision-making, based on the buying conditions. The second part covers a consortium agent, which allows SMEs to make purchasing consortiums by applying a Modified Knapsack Problem Algorithm. The consortium agent is implemented to eliminate the broker agent in a multi-agent system. The third part combines both the consortium and the negotiation agents for SMEs. Those three parts are demonstrated by a series of simulations to show the results: 1) the efficiency difference between negotiation and non-negotiation trading, 2) the efficiency difference between the Modified knapsack Algorithm Consortium (MKPAC) and the Exactly Match Consortium (EMC), 3) the efficiency difference between the SME with negotiation and consortium combined and a market which has no negotiation nor consortium.

description: We show that a combination of linear absorption spectroscopy, hyper-Rayleigh scattering, and a theoretical analysis using sum rules to reduce the size of the parameter space leads to a prediction of the two-photon absorption cross-section of the dye AF455 that agrees with two-photon absorption spectroscopy. Our procedure, which demands self-consistency between several measurement techniques and does not use adjustable parameters, provides a means for determining transition moments between the dominant excited states based strictly on experimental characterization. This is made possible by our new approach that uses sum rules and molecular symmetry to rigorously reduce the number of required physical quantities.

description: A comprehensive mechanistic study on the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed photoenolization/Diels–Alder (PEDA) reaction of acid fluorides was performed in the framework of (time-dependent) density functional theory ((TD)-DFT). The 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) during photoenolization of an ortho-toluoyl azolium salt was found to be feasible via, first, singlet excitation and photoenolization, and then, after crossing to the triplet manifold, populating a biradical dienol which allows for the formation of two ortho-quinodimethane (o-QDM) isomers due to a low rotational barrier. The (Z)-isomer is mostly unproductive through sigmatropic rearrangement back to the starting material while the (E)-isomer reacts in a subsequent concerted Diels–Alder reaction likely as the deprotonated dienolate. The experimentally observed diastereoselectivity is correctly predicted by theory and is determined by a more favorable endo trajectory in the cycloaddition step. These findings demonstrate that ortho-toluoyl azolium species exhibit similar photophysical properties as structurally related benzophenones, highlighting the unique ability of the NHC organocatalyst to transiently alter the excited state properties of an otherwise photoinactive carboxylic acid derivative, thereby expanding the scope of classical carbonyl photochemistry.

description: In 2008, researchers at HP Labs published a paper in {\it Nature} reporting the realisation of a new basic circuit element that completes the missing link between charge and flux-linkage, which was postulated by Leon Chua in 1971. The HP memristor is based on a nanometer scale TiO$_2$ thin-film, containing a doped region and an undoped region. Further to proposed applications of memristors in artificial biological systems and nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM), they also enable reconfigurable nanoelectronics. Moreover, memristors provide new paradigms in application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). A significant reduction in area with an unprecedented memory capacity and device density are the potential advantages of memristors for Integrated Circuits (ICs). This work reviews the memristor and provides mathematical and SPICE models for memristors. Insight into the memristor device is given via recalling the quasi-static expansion of Maxwell's equations. We also review Chua's arguments based on electromagnetic theory.

description: We theoretically analyze non-local electron transport in multi-terminal normal-metal-superconductor-normal-metal (NSN) devices in the presence of an external ac voltage bias. Our analysis reveals a number of interesting effects, such as, e.g., photon-assisted violation of balance between crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) and elastic cotunneling (EC). We demonstrate that at sufficiently small (typically subgap) frequencies of an external ac signal and at low temperatures the non-local conductance of the NSN device turns negative implying that in this regime CAR contribution to the non-local current dominates over that of EC. Our predictions can be directly tested in future experiments.

description: Background: Gemcitabine is an effective single-agent chemotherapy used in advanced stages of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). However, gemcitabine used in the current standard regimen is frequently associated with adverse events (AE), such as an increased risk for myelosuppression and severe infections. Objectives: We investigated in this retrospective study the effect of low-dose gemcitabine in pretreated advanced-stage CTCL and in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasia (BPDCN) regarding overall response (OR), progression-free survival (PFS), and AE. Material and Methods: A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted on 64 CTCL and BPDCN patients treated with gemcitabine in average absolute dosage of 1,800 mg/m(2) per cycle, which is 50% lower compared to standard dosage of 3,600 mg/m(2) per cycle (1,200 mg/m² day 1, 8, 15). Evaluation of response to therapy and AE was done 4-6 weeks after the sixth cycle. Results: OR was 62% with 11% demonstrating a complete response. The median time of PFS was 12 months and median time to next treatment was 7 months. Only 3/63 patients showed serious side effects, e.g., port infection or acute renal failure. Almost 73% of the patients experienced minor to moderate side effects (CTCAE grade 0-2). Fatigue (27.2%), fever (22.7%), and mild blood count alteration (18.2%) were the most common AE. Conclusions: This retrospective analysis supports the use of low-dose gemcitabine therapy in CTCL, demonstrating with 62% OR and PFS of 12 months an almost identical response rate and survival as compared to the standard dose therapy reported in previous studies but with a significantly improved safety profile and tolerability.

description: We theoretically investigate the interaction of a single quantum dipole with the modes of a fiber-coupled semiconductor waveguide. Through a combination of tight modal confinement and phase-matched evanescent coupling, we predict that approximately 70 % of the dipole's emission can be collected into a single mode optical fiber. Calculations further show that the dipole strongly modifies resonant light transmission through the system, with over an order of magnitude change possible for an appropriate choice of fiber-waveguide coupler geometry.

description: Given the high rate of alcoholism throughout history, its effects on the fetus may have existed for millennia. But, the claim that Greeks and Romans were aware of fetal alcohol syndrome rests on incorrect citations. From 1725, maternal alcohol consumption was associated with retarded fetal growth and neurological anomalies. From 1809, scientists followed Lamarck's theory that the disorders parents acquire during their lifetime are passed on to their offspring. Fetal effects were thought to be inherited mainly from the father. During the 19th century, parental alcoholism became associated with malformations. In 1915, Ballantyne distinguished genetic influence via germ cells from toxin's effect on the embryo. Fetal alcohol syndrome was characterized by Rouquette [Influence de la toxicomanie alcoolique parentale sur le developpement physique et psychique des jeunes enfants] in 1957 and Lemoine et al. [Ouest Medical. 1968;21:476-482] in 1968 as consisting of 4 features: (A) facial anomalies (narrow forehead, retracted upper lip, and cupped ears), (B) severe growth retardation (prenatal and postnatal), (C) malformations (limbs, cardiac, and visceral), and (D) central nervous system anomalies (hyperexcitability and mental retardation). But, their studies, written in French, remained disregarded. In 1973, Jones et al. [Lancet. 1973;302:999-1001] reported "the first association between maternal alcoholism and aberrant morphogenesis in the offspring." The history of fetal alcohol syndrome reveals shortcomings in citation practice. Alleged quotations remained unverified, non-English publications neglected, and short quotations taken out of context. Prejudiced by religious and abstinence groups, reports on alcohol damage to the unborn were fraught with emotions, moralizing, social implications, and presentism, the interpretation of past events with present knowledge.

description: Microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants in agricultural soil, whereas their effects on the rhizosphere microbial ecosystems and biogeochemical nitrogen cycles during plant growth remain unknown. Here, a 70-day greenhouse experiment was carried out with black and fluvo-aquic soil to evaluate the influence of polyamide (PA), polyethylene (PE), polyester (PES), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs on the bacterial communities and functions in the soybean rhizosphere. The PA treatment consistently affected the rhizobacterial alpha diversity in the fluvo-aquic soil at soybean vegetative and reproductive growth stages, whereas the PE, PES, and PVC treatments had a short-term effect on the bacterial alpha diversity. At two growth stages, 6 and 23 biomarkers were consistently abundant in the PA treatment in the black soil and fluvo-aquic soil, respectively, and order Rhizobiales was found to be a biomarker for PA MPs contamination in both soils. Additionally, PA treatment decreased bacterial network complexity and tightness, whereas the effects of the PE, PES, and PVC on bacterial co-occurrence patterns varied depending on the soil types. Furthermore, PES and PVC treatments inhibited ammonification processes in the soybean rhizosphere, and PE could temporarily inhibit ammonia oxidation and denitrification processes according to the variations of N-cycling gene abundances. These effects on soil N-cycling also varied with soil types and soybean growth stages. This study provides profound information for understanding of MPs residues on the assembly of the soybean rhizosphere communities and function during plant development.

description: In a new branch of quantum computing, information is encoded into coherent states, the primary carriers of optical communication. To exploit it, quantum bits of these coherent states are needed, but it is notoriously hard to make superpositions of such continuous-variable states. We have realized the complete engineering and characterization of a qubit of two optical continuous-variable states. Using squeezed vacuum as a resource and a special photon subtraction technique, we could with high precision prepare an arbitrary superposition of squeezed vacuum and a squeezed single photon. This could lead the way to demonstrations of coherent state quantum computing.

description: We review the usual account of the phenomena of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB), pointing out the common misunderstandings surrounding the issue, in particular within the context of quantum field theory. In fact, the common explanations one finds in this context, indicate that under certain conditions corresponding to the situation called SSB, the vacuum of the theory does not share the symmetries of the Lagrangian. We explain in detail why this statement is incorrect in general, and in what limited set of circumstances such situation could arise. We concentrate on the case of global symmetries, for which we found no satisfactory exposition in the existing literature, and briefly comment on the case of gauge symmetries where, although insufficiently publicized, accurate and complete descriptions exist. We briefly discuss the implications for the phenomenological manifestations usually attributed to the phenomena of spontaneous symmetry breaking, analyzing which might be affected by our analysis and which are not. In particular we describe the mass generation mechanism in a fully symmetric scheme (i.e., with a totally symmetric vacuum), and briefly discuss the implications of this analysis to the problem of formation of topological defects in the early universe.

description: Reactions of [Re(NPhF)Cl3(PPh3)2] ({NPhF}2− = p-fluorophenylimide) with a variety of alkyl and aryl isocyanides have been studied. Different reactivity patterns and products have been obtained depending on the steric and electronic properties of the individual ligands. This involves the formation of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 exchange products of Re(V) with the general formulae mer-[Re(NPhF)Cl3(PPh3)(isocyanide)] and cis- or trans-[Re(NPhF)Cl3(isocyanide)2]. The stability of the obtained products is correlated with the substitution pattern of the isocyanide ligands. The products have been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods, including IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry. The use of partially fluorinated starting materials and ligands allows the modulation of the solubilities of the starting materials and the products as well as the monitoring of the reactions by means of 19F NMR. The attachment of the CF3 or F substituent on the isocyanides gives control over the steric bulk and the electronic properties of the ligands and, thus, their reactivity.

description: We consider a supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics. This is obtained by adding Myers and mass terms to the dimensional reduction of 4d N=1 super Yang-Mills theory to one dimension. Using this model we construct 4d N=1 super Yang-Mills theory in the planar limit by using the Eguchi-Kawai equivalence. The same matrix quantum mechanics is also used to provide a nonperturbative formulation of 4d N=1 super Yang-Mills theory on noncommutative space.

description: We investigate electron and phonon transport through edge disordered zigzag graphene nanoribbons based on the same methodological tool of nonequilibrium Green functions. We show that edge disorder dramatically reduces phonon thermal transport while being only weakly detrimental to electronic conduction. The behavior of the electronic and phononic elastic mean free paths points to the possibility of realizing an electron-crystal coexisting with a phonon-glass. The calculated thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) values qualify zigzag graphene nanoribbons as a very promising material for thermoelectric applications.

description: The enormous increase of popularity and use of the WWW has led in the recent years to important changes in the ways people communicate. An interesting example of this fact is provided by the now very popular social annotation systems, through which users annotate resources (such as web pages or digital photographs) with text keywords dubbed tags. Understanding the rich emerging structures resulting from the uncoordinated actions of users calls for an interdisciplinary effort. In particular concepts borrowed from statistical physics, such as random walks, and the complex networks framework, can effectively contribute to the mathematical modeling of social annotation systems. Here we show that the process of social annotation can be seen as a collective but uncoordinated exploration of an underlying semantic space, pictured as a graph, through a series of random walks. This modeling framework reproduces several aspects, so far unexplained, of social annotation, among which the peculiar growth of the size of the vocabulary used by the community and its complex network structure that represents an externalization of semantic structures grounded in cognition and typically hard to access.
The efficacy of language rehabilitation therapy: a meta-analytic review of traumatic brain injury and stroke cognitive rehabilitation literature
Creators: name: Miklos, Zachary
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: This meta-analysis evaluated 10 studies of language rehabilitation and recovery that were conducted after a patient endured a traumatic brain injury or stroke. The primary purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the overall effect size across these studies and to assess the significance of this aggregate effect size. Results indicated a significant effect size in the control conditions (r = .3, p < .05) in which patients received no rehabilitative therapy. A significant effect size was also present in the intervention conditions (r = .4, p < .05). Results showed that language rehabilitation therapies are effective therapeutic interventions, with significant improvements being shown above and beyond what could attributed to the passage of time.

Saudi international students in the U.S. and the wish to stay
Creators: name: Mansour, Maha
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2014

description: Do Saudi students in the U.S. wish to stay in the U.S. after they have completed their studies, and for how long? The purpose of this exploratory study was to answer this question and to investigate the relationships between the U.S. migration wishes of Saudi international students in the U.S. and a number of background social demographic and personality factors. Using a survey and interviews, data were collected from 367 Saudi international students in the U.S. Descriptive data are given with the results of a logistical regression analysis and qualitative analysis of interview data. Statistical findings show that some personality variables, background demographic and family relationship variables, quality of experience in the U.S., and place perception variables are related to the length of time students wish to stay in the U.S. An analysis of interview data suggests that additional family relationship variables might also be important.

Horace Walpole and the new taste for Gothic
Creators: name: Hatch, Ronald Barry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The aim of this paper is to examine Horace Walpole's contribution to the reawakening taste for Gothic in the eighteenth century and to relate his curiously ephemeral art forms to the broad historical development of the Gothic. No attempt has been made, except in an incidental way, to treat the initial flourishing of Gothic architecture; that the reader has at least a passing acquaintance with the architecture of the Middle Ages is assumed. Instead, the emphasis has been placed upon the Gothic survival of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; as Gothic architecture was virtually eclipsed during this period, many readers may feel that this emphasis is unwarranted. However, some study of the Gothic architecture in these two centuries is necessary in order to understand how and why the Gothic took the turn it did in the eighteenth century. Chapter one is a collection of evidence to show that, despite opinion otherwise, Gothic architecture did survive as a potent force. Chapter two then proceeds to discuss Walpole's creation of Strawberry Hill and to show how the attitudes and skills of previous generations helped to mould its form. The conclusion reached is that Strawberry Hill, while Gothic in design, lacked most of the medieval Gothic spirit; that Walpole was in fact using the Gothic for a new purpose. Chapter three is again a collection of evidence, this time a survey of the prevailing trends in "Gothic" literature before Walpole. In a sense, chapter four is the culmination of this discussion of the Gothic, since here the attempt is made to show how Walpole's Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto, was at once clearly in the earlier traditions of a classical interpretation of Gothic, and also a forerunner of an entirely new conception of Gothic. Walpole's influence upon later writers and his indebtedness to neo-Gothicizers is made clear by juxtaposing Walpole against the later school of Gothic novelists. To avoid a repetitious summary, some attempt has been made to characterize the essential differences existing between Walpole's Gothic and that of medieval artists by linking Walpole's creations with the rococo. An equation of eighteenth century Gothic with the rococo is of course foolish, and this was never contemplated; rather, the hope was to show that much of the spirit which stimulated Walpole's artistry is also endemic to the rococo. The eighteenth century Gothic, in particular Walpole's contribution, was actually a Gothic-rococo.

description: A theory of the anomalous and spin Hall effects, based on the space distribution of the current densities, is presented. Spin-orbit coupling gives rise to a space separation of the mass centers, as well as a current density separation of the quasiparticle states having opposite group velocities. It is shown that this microscopic property is essential for existence of both Hall effects.
