description: We derive non-linear recursion equation for the leading infrared logarithms (LL) in four dimensional sigma-model with fields on an arbitrary Riemann manifold. The derived equation allows one to compute leading infrared logarithms to essentially unlimited loop order in terms of geometric characteristics of the Riemann manifold. We reduce the solution of the SU(oo) principal chiral field in arbitrary number of dimensions in the LL approximation to the solution of very simple recursive equation. This result paves a way to the solution of the model in arbitrary number of dimensions at N-->oo

description: Motivated by the unabating interest in the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic model on the Kagome lattice, we investigate the energetics of projected Schwinger boson (SB) wave functions in the $J_1$--$J_2$ model with antiferromagnetic $J_2$ coupling. Our variational Monte Carlo results show that Sachdev's $Q_1=Q_2$ SB ansatz has a lower energy than the Dirac spin liquid for $J_2\gtrsim 0.08 J_1$ and the ${\bf q=0}$ Jastrow type magnetically ordered state. This work demonstrates that the projected SB wave functions can be tested on the same footing as their fermionic counterparts.

How accurate is the local-duality model for the pion elastic form factor?
Creators: name: Balakireva, Irina
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the accuracy of the pion form factor, obtained with a local-duality version of dispersive sum rules. To probe this accuracy, we make use of a potential model, where the exact form factor may be calculated from the solution of the Schroedinger equation and confronted with the local-duality form factor. The deviation between these quantities is found to be below 20% in the region of momentum transfers Q > 2 - 3 GeV, independently of the specific form of the confining potential. We argue that the local-duality model for elastic form factors in QCD has at least this level of accuracy.

Numerical convergence in self-gravitating disc simulations: initial conditions and edge effects

description: We study the numerical convergence of hydrodynamical simulations of self-gravitating accretion discs, in which a simple cooling law is balanced by shock heating. It is well-known that there exists a critical cooling time scale for which shock heating can no longer compensate for the energy losses, at which point the disc fragments. The numerical convergence of previous results of this critical cooling time scale was questioned recently using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). We employ a two-dimensional grid-based code to study this problem, and find that for smooth initial conditions, fragmentation is possible for slower cooling as the resolution is increased, in agreement with recent SPH results. We show that this non-convergence is at least partly due to the creation of a special location in the disc, the boundary between the turbulent and the laminar region, when cooling towards a gravito-turbulent state. Converged results appear to be obtained in setups where no such sharp edges appear, and we then find a critical cooling time scale of ~ 4 $Ω^{-1}$, where $Ω$ is the local angular velocity.

Pas de rhetorique sans musique: Aspects d'une rhétorique "non classique" en Amazonie
Creators: name: Gasché, Jorge

description: C'est par ces mots-là que commence la Rhétorique d'Aristote. De toute évidence, Aristote fait ici appel au sens commun, quand il affirme que "tout le monde, dans une certaine mesure, essaie de combattre et de soutenir une raison, de défendre et d'accuser." En le disant, il pouvait compter sur l'acquiescement de tous ses lecteurs contemporains. Et aujourd'hui, nous-mêmes lui donnons facilement raison, car combattre et soutenir, défendre et accuser nous semblent des actions courantes au sein de nos pratiques quotidiennes. Il aurait pu y ajouter "louer et blâmer", sans que cela contrevienne à la constatation générale, et nous aurions ainsi eu, d'entrée, le panorama complet des trois genres rhétoriques: le délibératif (ou politique), le judiciaire et le démonstratif (ou épidictique), avec leurs orientations temporelles vers le futur, le passé et le présent. Donc, en nous situant dans le sens commun et dans la pratique de tout le monde: tous, nous discutons entre nous le pour et le contre à propos de ce qu'il y aura de mieux à faire, nous imputons un méfait à tel parent, ami ou voisin, en vue d'un acte accompli, ou, au contraire, nous le défendons quand il est attaqué et nous sommes d'un avis contraire, et nous montrons notre admiration ou notre dépréciation, notre approbation ou notre critique, face à telle ou telle personne, en la faisant valoir dans le présent.

Why visualization? : task abstraction for analysis and design
Creators: name: Brehmer, Matthew Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Why do people visualize data? People visualize data either to consume or produce information relevant to a domain-specific problem or interest. Visualization design and evaluation involves a mapping between domain problems or interests and appropriate visual encoding and interaction design choices. This mapping translates a domain-specific situation into abstract visualization tasks, which allows for succinct descriptions of tasks and task sequences in terms of why data is visualized, what dependencies a task might have in terms of input and output, and how the task is supported in terms of visual encoding and interaction design choices. Describing tasks in this way facilitates the comparison and cross-pollination of visualization design choices across application domains; the mapping also applies in reverse, whenever visualization researchers aim to contextualize novel visualization techniques. In this dissertation, we present multiple instances of visualization task abstraction, each integrating our proposed typology of abstract visualization tasks. We apply this typology as an analysis tool in an interview study of individuals who visualize dimensionally reduced data in different application domains, in a post-deployment field study evaluation of a visual analysis tool in the domain of investigative journalism, and in a visualization design study in the domain of energy management. In the interview study, we draw upon and demonstrate the descriptive power of our typology to classify five task sequences relating to visualizing dimensionally reduced data. This classification is intended to inform the design of new tools and techniques for visualizing this form of data. In the field study, we draw upon and demonstrate the descriptive and evaluative power of our typology to evaluate Overview, a visualization tool for investigating large text document collections. After analyzing its adoption by investigative journalists, we characterize two abstract tasks relating to document mining and present seven lessons relating to the design of visualization tools for document data. In the design study, we demonstrate the descriptive, evaluative, and generative power of our typology and identify matches and mismatches between visualization design choices and three abstract tasks relating to time series data. Finally, we reflect upon the impact of our task typology.
Returning to our medicines : decolonizing and indigenizing mental health services to better serve Indigenous communities in urban spaces
Creators: name: Fellner, Karlee Dawn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: While mental health services continue to make efforts toward greater cultural sensitivity, research, education, and practice in these fields remain grounded primarily in Western Eurosettler principles that have been applied in colonization. Addressing the dearth of culturally relevant and appropriate research in Indigenous mental health, the current project applied isîhcikêwin – the author’s Indigenist nehiyaw-otipemisiwak (Cree/Métis) research paradigm to address the question: How can mental health services (be shaped so as to) better serve Indigenous peoples living in urban spaces? isîhcikêwin is based in the author’s lived experiences as a mobile nehiyaw-otipemisiwak woman who is an oskâpêwis (helper) and participant in traditional ceremonies. This framework draws on Wilson’s (2008) conceptualization of research as ceremony alongside the work of other Indigenous scholars (e.g., Archibald, 2008; Castellano, 2000; Graveline, 2000; Holmes, 2000; Kovach, 2009; Marsden, 2005; Smith, 1999). Following isîhcikêwin ethics and protocols, the author had conversations with sixteen Indigenous mental health professionals and hosted a talking circle. The author used Indigenous holistic meaning making in coming to understand iyinisiwak (knowledge holders’) perspectives, weaving together the stories of iyinisiwak, her interpretive synthesis of their knowledges, and her own personal narratives. The findings comprise a decolonizing framework that is presented as a braid of sweetgrass consisting of three strands: (a) what isn’t working in mental health service provision, (b) restor(y)ing approaches to wellness as ways forward in Indigenous health service provision, and (c) how services can make these transformations. Findings address how approaches to Indigenous wellness in urban spaces may be transformed through the adaptation and application of a medicine bundle framework that incorporates community-based perspectives on love, good relationships, Indigenous knowledges, living a good life, responsibility, identity and belonging, and land. These findings include critical implications for researchers, educators, theorists, practitioners, policy-makers, and other stakeholders whose work involves an aim to contribute to healing and wellness with Indigenous communities. Consistent with isîhcikêwin, the current dissertation alternates between a scripted dialogue and a conversational style with the reader. This form of representation honours the voices of the author and iyinisiwak, and contributes to research that is congruent with isîhcikêwin from conception to completion.

description: Eigenvectors of stress-energy tensor (the source in Einstein's equations) form privileged bases in description of the corresponding space-times. When one or more of these vector fields are rotating (the property well determined in differential geometry), one says that the space-time executes this rotation. Though the rotation in its proper sense is understood as that of a timelike congruence (vector field), the rotation of a spacelike congruence is not a less objective property if it corresponds to a canonical proper basis built of the just mentioned eigenvectors. In this last case, we propose to speak on pseudo-rotation. Both properties of metric, its material sources, and space-time symmetries are considered in this paper.

description: Using FE analysis, this work fully devoted to added masses determination of the plate in infinite liquid in the case of different movements. Various forms and sizes of the plate are considered. The problem consists of two parts: first is studying of the plate motion in liquid as rigid; second is studying of the plate vibrations in its own modes, fixed with a hard screen and contacting with liquid by one side. The condition observance of liquid environment continuity leads to the Laplace equation, which is solved by using numerical approach. Finite element analysis of steady state problem is performed for added masses determination using thermal analogy. A compact analytical solution of the two considered problems is presented. The results of finite element analysis and corresponding analytical results of the problems are compared for the case of infinite liquid environment. doi: 10.18720/MPM.4112019_19

description: The dynamics of particle, event, and apparent horizons in FLRW space are discussed. The apparent horizon is trapping when the Ricci curvature is positive. This simple criterion coincides with the condition for the Kodama-Hayward apparent horizon temperature to be positive, and also discriminates between timelike and spacelike character of the apparent horizon. We discuss also the entropy of apparent cosmological horizons in extended theories of gravity and we use the generalized 2nd law to discard an exact solution of Brans-Dicke gravity as unphysical.

description: Gravitational billiards provide an experimentally accessible arena for testing formulations of nonlinear dynamics. We present a mathematical model that captures the essential dynamics required for describing the motion of a realistic billiard for arbitrary boundaries. Simulations of the model are applied to parabolic, wedge and hyperbolic billiards that are driven sinusoidally. Direct comparisons are made between the model's predictions and previously published experimental data. It is shown that the data can be successfully modeled with a simple set of parameters without an assumption of exotic energy dependence.

Es besteht darin, dass das zweite Cu- bitalspatium im Anfange durchaus leer ist, wiihrend wir bei alien Aeschniden und Agrioniden dasselbe gleichforuiig von Queradern durchschnitten linden. In Betreff der allgemeinen Schilderung miissen wir bei Burmeister zwei Funkte von Bedeutung streichen. Seine Angabe, dass die Libellen niemals eine Legescheide zeigen, fullt fort, denn Uracis (Burmeister’s L. iinbuta und L. fustigiata gehbren hierher) zeigt eine deutliche Legescheide. Seine An­ gabe,,,die Augen sind immer auf dem Scheitel zusammengewach- sen”, ist unrichtig, denn bei Diastatops (L. pullata und L. ob­ scura Burnt.) sind dieselben durch einen breiten Zwischenraum getrennt. Ueberhaupt bleiben bei alien Libellen die Augen ei- gentlich immer getrennt, nur ist allerdings der zwischenliegende Theil des Kopfskelets mitunter ungemein schmal. Durch Ent- fernung der Augen kann man sich leicht hiervon uberzeugen. Die nur den Libellen eigenthumliche Bildung des Dreiecks der Oberflugel und seine Verbindung mit der Postcosta ist nament- lich von Burmeister richtig erkannt und als bedentend hervor- gehoben. Rambur theilt die hierher gehorigen Arten in zwolf Gattun­ gen ein, Burmeister in zwei, von denen die erste Epophthalmia den vier letzten Gattungen Rambur’s entspricht. Burmeister’s Eintheilung halte ich fur durchaus gerecht- fertigt, und weiche nnr darin von ihm ab, dass ich seine Gattung zu Unterfamilien erhebe. Burmeister’s Epophthalmia bezeichne ich, da jener Name mit dem Raffinesques fur eine Fischgattung collidirt, als Cordnlidae.

description: A method for analysing the risk of taking a too low reserve level by use of Chain Ladder method is developed. We give an answer to the question of how much safety loading in terms of the Chain Ladder standard error has to be added to the Chain Ladder reserve in order to reach a specified security level in loss reserving. This is an important question in the framework of integrated risk management of an insurance company. Furthermore we investigate the relative bias of Chain Ladder estimators. We use Monte Carlo simulation technique as well as the collective model of risk theory in each cell of run-off table. We analyse deviation between Chain Ladder reserves and Monte Carlo simulated reserves statistically. Our results document dependency on claim number and claim size distribution types and parameters.

description: Let $a, \ b \ (b \geq a)$ and $n \ (n \geq 2)$ be nonnegative integers and let $\mathcal{T}(a,b,n)$ be the set of such generalised tournaments, in which every pair of distinct players is connected at most with $b$, and at least with $a$ arcs. In \cite{Ivanyi2009} we gave a necessary and sufficient condition to decide whether a given sequence of nonnegative integers $D = (d_1, d_2,..., d_n)$ can be realized as the out-degree sequence of a $T \in \mathcal{T}(a,b,n)$. Extending the results of \cite{Ivanyi2009} we show that for any sequence of nonnegative integers $D$ there exist $f$ and $g$ such that some element $T \in \mathcal{T}(g,f,n)$ has $D$ as its out-degree sequence, and for any $(a,b,n)$-tournament $T'$ with the same out-degree sequence $D$ hold $a\leq g$ and $b\geq f$. We propose a $Θ(n)$ algorithm to determine $f$ and $g$ and an $O(d_n n^2)$ algorithm to construct a corresponding tournament $T$.
The spell of riddles among the Witoto
Creators: name: Gasché, Jorge
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2013

description: The Witoto of the Colombian and Peruvian Amazon possess a class of sung dances known as eeikɨ, a term the Witoto themselves translate as “riddle” or “enigma” (Spanish adivinanza). By means of this type of song, the invited dancers invite the “festival owners” (rafue naanɨ) – men belonging to the patrilineage of the head of the hosts, and their associates – to approach the circle and guess what the words of the song allude to. The youngest men generally make the first attempts to find a solution. Each time they fail, the leader of the singing dancers repeats the song with his companions providing the chorus, sometimes adding a few words to indicate the road to the solution. But ultimately the challenge is posed to the festival owner himself, whose knowledge is put on trial and who must prove himself to be a “true father”, in possession of the knowledge appropriate to his role as festival owner. Throughout the preparation and celebration of the festival, he represents the Father-Creator, the Father of all humankind, represented in turn by all the festival’s participants, who are called urukɨ - a collective noun related to urue, “child”. The German ethnographer Konrad Theodor Preuss, who was collecting Witoto mythology in 1914, also penned a commentary on the uuikɨ festival, “Festival of the Ball”, in which riddles were sung. His informant relates the following concerning the festival’s function and its riddles.

The analysis delves into cognitive bias theory, consumer psychology, and decision models, highlighting the psychological mechanisms that influence the choices of managers and marketers. Through theoretical exploration, this article aims to provide a solid foundation for understanding key concepts of behavioral economics in the context of business decisions. It provides a conceptual framework for reflection and discussion on the potential application of these concepts in management and marketing.
Attachment, alexithymia, gender, and emotional disclosure : an interactional investigation
Creators: name: O'Loughlin, Julia Iman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Emotional disclosure—verbal communication of emotional experiences—reduces emotional distress and positively impacts interpersonal relationships. Consequently, concealing emotions has been shown to negatively impact physical and psychological health. Previous research has shown that people with attachment avoidance orientation, and people with alexithymia, limit their use of emotional disclosure as a means of affect regulation. Little research however, has been conducted to determine if alexithymia mediates the negative relation between attachment avoidance and emotional disclosure. Additionally, there is little research evaluating the moderating effect of gender on the relation between attachment avoidance and alexithymia. Presently, we investigated if alexithymia mediated the negative relation between attachment avoidance and emotional disclosure. Secondarily, we evaluated whether gender moderated the positive relation between attachment avoidance and alexithymia. Participants were Mechanical Turk workers (N = 178) who completed measures of attachment orientation, alexithymia, and generalized emotional disclosure tendencies. Our primary hypothesis was supported: alexithymia partially mediated the relation between attachment avoidance and emotional disclosure. Our secondary hypothesis was also supported: gender moderated the relation between attachment avoidance and alexithymia in that the relation was stronger for male participants compared to female participants. Implications for theory and counselling psychology practice will be discussed.

description: We study the effect of explicit CP violation in the Higgs sectors of the MSSM in the di-photon decay of the lightest CP-mixed Higgs state. Further it is shown that the gluon fusion production mechanism along with the di-photon decay enhances CP-violating effects for a large set of suitably chosen parameter values.

description: Como el tema, sobre el cual les voy a exponer hoy, nunca ha sido parte de mis investigaciones personales, me limitaré en esta conferencia a compilar informaciones e interpretaciones recientes y a sacar unas conclusiones sobre qué pueden significar estas interpretaciones recientes del darwinismo para la comprensión de la situación social y su futuro en la Amazonía. En esta última parte, sí, entrarán resultados de investigaciones recientes que realizó un pequeño equipo de investigadores, bajo mis orientaciones, en el IIAP en el marco de un proyecto llamado “Sociodiversidad”, que, este año, se ha constituido en un programa institucional del IIAP.
Local scales on curves and surfaces

description: In this paper, we extend our previous work on the study of local scales of a function to studying local scales on curves and surfaces. In the case of a function f, the local scales of f at x is computed by measuring the deviation of f from a linear function near x at different scales t's. In the case of a d-dimensional surface E, the analogy is to measure the deviation of E from a d-plane near x on E at various scale t's. We then apply the theory of singular integral operators on E to show useful properties of local scales. We will also show that the defined local scales are consistent in the sense that the number of local scales are invariant under dilation.
Characterizing the impact of type-2 diabetes on cortical sensorimotor pathways in chronic stroke : a multimodal neuroimaging study
Creators: name: Ferris, Jennifer

description: Individuals with type-2 diabetes have an increased incidence of ischemic stroke, and experience higher rates of disability after stroke than non-diabetics. Recent research suggests that type-2 diabetes has adverse effects on neuronal integrity and function, however, to date very little work has examined the interactions of diabetes with chronic stroke recovery. The goal of the present thesis is to address this gap in the literature by employing multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to examine the impact of type-2 diabetes on the integrity of surviving sensorimotor neural tissue in individuals with chronic hemiparesis as a result of ischemic stroke. We employ volumetric MRI, diffusion tractography, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to explore the structure of motor and sensory cortex grey matter and white matter projections. We found individuals with chronic stroke and diabetes had lower regional cortical thickness in primary somatosensory cortex, and primary and secondary motor cortices. Contralesional primary and secondary motor cortex thicknesses were negatively related to motor outcomes of the paretic upper-limb in the diabetes group. MRS revealed stroke survivors with diabetes had bilaterally reduced creatine levels in sensorimotor cortex. Diabetes status did not impact gross cortical volumes, white matter volumes, or white matter microstructure in projections from the primary motor and sensory cortex. These results suggest that type-2 diabetes alters cerebral metabolic function, which may result in thinning to sensorimotor grey matter. This work provides preliminary evidence for differential profiles of cerebral recovery from stroke in individuals with diabetes. Given the worldwide increase in the prevalence of diabetes it is critical that we examine the mechanisms of increased post-stroke disability in type-2 diabetes to inform targeted therapies for this population.

description: This paper considers the robust and efficient implementation of Gaussian process regression with a Student-t observation model. The challenge with the Student-t model is the analytically intractable inference which is why several approximative methods have been proposed. The expectation propagation (EP) has been found to be a very accurate method in many empirical studies but the convergence of the EP is known to be problematic with models containing non-log-concave site functions such as the Student-t distribution. In this paper we illustrate the situations where the standard EP fails to converge and review different modifications and alternative algorithms for improving the convergence. We demonstrate that convergence problems may occur during the type-II maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation of the hyperparameters and show that the standard EP may not converge in the MAP values in some difficult cases. We present a robust implementation which relies primarily on parallel EP updates and utilizes a moment-matching-based double-loop algorithm with adaptively selected step size in difficult cases. The predictive performance of the EP is compared to the Laplace, variational Bayes, and Markov chain Monte Carlo approximations.
Witoto Rhetoric Culture

description: By describing and analyzing a witoto discourse, I intend to grasp the specific properties of a "rhetoric" at stake in a society which is distinct and different from ours. Being cautious towards an ethno-sufficient attitude which is always at risk, I contrast the witoto rhetoric with the one with which we are intimate in our own cultural tradition. Only then, building on this genuinely ethnographic work — anchored in observable data –— shall we proceed to enrich our reflection stuff, our reference corpus, on the basis of which we shall have to broaden or to review our traditional interpretative conceptual frame. Only by acknowledging a socio-cultural alterity (to be explored) do we discover new realities. Our position and our intention thus opposes the comparative rhetoric of G.A. Kennedy. In a culturally diverse corpus of discourse, he identifies the categories of classical western rhetoric and he assimilates the discourse universe of the entire world to phenomena we already know and which proceed from our cultural tradition. I problematize the interpretation of discoursive facts, of facts of rhetoric, always by relating them with the culture that produces them. I adopt this method so as to let the culture appear in its specificity and to let the rhetoric appear as a specific product emerging from a given way of life.
Breakdown of kT-factorization and J/Psi production in dA collisions

description: In spite of the sweeping coherence effects in high energy hadron and nuclei collisions, $k_T$-factorization can be recovered for the inclusive gluon production in $pA$ collisions at the leading logarithmic order. In open charm production at RHIC $k_T$-factorization holds numerically with about 10-20% accuracy. This allows to extrapolate the cold nuclear matter effect observed in light and charm meson production in $dA$ collisions to that in $AA$ ones. Unlike the open charm, the breakdown of factorization in $J/ψ$ production is severe. Indeed, already at the lowest order in gluon density the main contribution to the inclusive cross section is proportional to the square of gluon density in the nucleus. As a consequence, one cannot infer the cold nuclear matter effect on $J/ψ$ production in $AA$ collisions from that in $dA$. We present the calculation of $J/ψ$ multiplicity in the framework of the CGC (color glass condensate)/saturation and show that it agrees with the experimental data.

description: Using first-principles calculations, we systematically study the adsorption behavior of a single molecular H$_{2}$O on the Be(0001) surface. We find that the favored molecular adsorption site is the top site with an adsorption energy of about 0.3 eV, together with the detailed electronic structure analysis, suggesting a weak binding strength of the H$_{2}$O/Be(0001) surface. The adsorption interaction is mainly contributed by the overlapping between the $s$ and $p_{z}$ states of the top-layer Be atom and the molecular orbitals 1$b_{1}$ and 3$a_{1}$ of H$_{2}$O. The activation energy for H$_{2}$O diffusion on the surface is about 0.3 eV. Meanwhile, our study indicates that no dissociation state exists for the H$_{2}$O/Be(0001) surface.

When Foul Play Seems Fair: Dishonesty as a Response to Violations of Just Deserts

description: We investigate the norm of just deserts and its effect on honesty. Just deserts is an essential norm in a market society, and honesty is an important factor in economic and
social exchange. In particular, we analyze what happens when the social distributive rules betray the reasonable expectation that who deserves more will obtain a larger payoff. Using a formal-theoretic framework—equity theory—we explore the nexus between the perception of just deserts and honesty, combining cross-national survey (WVS)
evidence and data from two laboratory experiments—conducted in the United States and Italy—to study whether violations of the principle of just deserts contribute to an increased tolerance for or an engagement in dishonest and corrupt acts. We find convergent evidence that violation of the just deserts norm results in a greater propensity toward self-serving dishonesty, and that this effect is distinct from the effect of inequality.
Both the survey and experimental results also indicate that sensitivity to violations of the just deserts norm vary cross-nationally. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of our results for theories of distributive justice and multiple equilibria in societal levels of honesty.

description: The Solar Radiospectrograph of the University of Athens (ARTEMIS-IV) is in operation at the Thermopylae Satellite Communication Station since 1996. The observations extend from the base of the Solar Corona (650 MHz) to about 2 Solar Radii (20 MHz) with time resolution 1/10-1/100 sec. The instruments recordings, being in the form of dynamic spectra, measure radio flux as a function of height in the corona; our observations are combined with spatial data from the Nancay Radioheliograph whenever the need for 3D positional information arises. The ARTEMIS-IV contribution in the study of solar radio bursts is two fold- Firstly, in investigating new spectral characteristics since its high sampling rate facilitates the study of fine structures in radio events. On the other hand it is used in studying the association of solar bursts with interplanetary phenomena because of its extended frequency range which is, furthermore, complementary to the range of the WIND/WAVES receivers and the observations may be readily combined. This reports serves as a brief account of this operation. Joint observations with STEREO/WAVES and LOFAR low frequency receivers are envisaged in the future.
