description: Experimental studies of microdosimetry in therapeutic ion beams have been performed using several detectors. The differences among them lie on the shapes, the site sizes, and the material. Coin-shaped solid-state detectors made of silicon or diamond with thickness varying from 0.3 to 10 microns, as well as proportional counters with spherical and cylindrical sensitive volumes filled with tissue-equivalent gas are the microdosimeters used in therapeutic proton and carbon-ion beams. One goal of microdosimetry in the clinical environment is providing repeatable specification of the radiation quality of the radiation field. A methodology should be developed to provide, independently from the heterogeneous information collected with the different detectors, a detector-independent specification of the radiation quality. Historically the specification of the radiation quality is provided either, in terms of Linear Energy Transfer (LET) or in terms of lineal energy, y. First this study focuses on identifying the correlation between the distributions of LET and the lineal energy spectra as well as the correspondence between their mean values calculated in frequency and in dose. The evaluation is based on the method of LET analysis described by Kellerer making the adaptation to the peculiarities of the therapeutic ion-beam where the pristine irradiation is unidirectional and made of a single type of mono-energetic ions. The second objective of this study is to interpret the spectrum collected by a slab and estimate what the spectrum would be if it was collected by a detector different in shape, material, or size. An example confirms the method starting from the simulated lineal energy spectrum obtained for carbon ions in a slab detector of graphite and converting it to the spectruma that would be obtained in the same radiation field for spherical, cylindrical, and slab detector made of water.

description: The role of early childhood educators in actively creating the conditions for children’s concept formation was examined in a traditional early childhood program. Framed by cultural-historical theory of child development, a unique teacher-researcher methodology was used to research the educator’s practice. An educational experiment using a Conceptual Playworld model was implemented to examine the role of the educator when creating imaginary situations with children as play partner. The educator’s role was found to involve a range of educator-child interactions, using drama and emotion, to intentionally engage children in conceptual thinking. The research contributes to play pedagogy and provides insight into the need for professional development underpinned by a new theoretical understanding of child development.

description: Die klimatischen Waldgrenzen in den Hochgebirgen der Erde sind wärmemangelbedingte Höhengrenzen, die sich im Zuge des Klimawandels in höhere Lagen verschieben werden, sofern nicht-thermische Standortsfaktoren dies nicht verhindern. Empirische Untersuchungen aus vielen Hochgebirgen zeigen bisher einen Anstieg, in vielen Fällen jedoch auch eine weitgehende Persistenz dieser Höhengrenzen. Die heterogenen Reaktionsmuster lassen sich grob nach Waldgrenztypen und –formen gliedern, eine hohe Responsvariabilität weisen jedoch auch physiognomisch vergleichbare Formen wie diffuse Waldgrenzen oder solche mit Krummholzgürtel auf. Zur Erklärung müssen die vielfältigen Interaktionen zwischen der Klimaerwärmung als globale/regionale Einflussgröße und den Komplexen der abiotischen und biotischen Standortsfaktoren sowie anthropogener Einflüsse bzw. deren Wechselwirkungen auf lokaler Ebene herangezogen werden. Alpine treelines under climate change - How to explain heterogeneous response patterns? Climatic treelines in the world’s high mountains are altitudinal limits caused by heat deficiency. They will shift to higher elevations in the course of climate change, unless not prevented by non-thermal site factors. Empirical studies from many high mountain ranges have so far shown a treeline advance, but in many cases also a distinct persistence of treeline elevations. These heterogeneous response patterns can be roughly classified according to treeline types and forms, however, physiognomically comparable treeline forms such as diffuse treelines or those with a krummholz belt still show high response variability. In order to explain inconsistent response patterns, many-faceted interactions between global warming as a global/regional input variable and the complexes of abiotic and biotic site factors as well as anthropogenic influences and their interrelationships at the local level have to be analysed

description: Magnetic damping is a key metric for emerging technologies based on magnetic nanoparticles, such as spin torque memory and high-resolution biomagnetic imaging. Despite its importance, understanding of magnetic dissipation in nanoscale ferromagnets remains elusive, and the damping is often treated as a phenomenological constant. Here we report the discovery of a giant frequency-dependent nonlinear damping that strongly alters the response of a nanoscale ferromagnet to spin torque and microwave magnetic field. This novel damping mechanism originates from three-magnon scattering that is strongly enhanced by geometric confinement of magnons in the nanomagnet. We show that the giant nonlinear damping can invert the effect of spin torque on a nanomagnet leading to a surprising current-induced enhancement of damping by an antidamping torque. Our work advances understanding of magnetic dynamics in nanoscale ferromagnets and spin torque devices.

description: Die Höhenstufen des Klimas und der Vegetation der inneren Tropen werden am Beispiel des Páramo de Papallacta in der Ostkordillere Ecuadors dargestellt. Diese Landschaft unterliegt seit dem Höhepunkt der letzten Eiszeit einem ständigen Wandel, sowohl durch die natürlichen Klimafluktuationen als auch durch den Eingriff des Menschen in den Naturhaushalt. Anhand historischer Dokumente wird aufgezeigt, dass die Landschaft hier vor der menschlichen Besiedlung bis zur potenziellen Waldgrenze (ca. 4.100 m) vollständig mit Wald bedeckt war. Die heute mosaikartig verteilten Waldinseln in einer offenen Grasfläche (Graspáramo) zwischen 3.700 und 4.100 m dokumentieren mit ihren scharfen Rändern den Einfluss des Feuers. Die derzeitigen globalen Veränderungen der Temperatur und der Niederschläge bleiben auch für die Menschen in den Tropen nicht ohne Konsequenz. Ihre Einwirkungen spiegeln sich sichtbar im Rückgang der tropischen Gletscher wider, die seit Anfang der 1980er Jahre zu beobachten sind. Sie sind eine wichtige Quelle zur Wasserversorgung der Landwirtschaft und der Menschen in den Metropolen in den Anden. Vegetation and climate change in the Eastern Cordillera of Ecuador the example of the Páramo de Papallacta: The elevational levels of climate and vegetation of the inner tropics are demonstrated using the Páramo de Papallacta in the Eastern Cordillera of Ecuador as an example. Since the peak of the last ice age, this landscape has been subject to constant change, both due to natural climate fluctuations and due to human interventions. Historical documents show that the former landscape was completely covered with forest up to the potential forest line (approx. 4,100 m) before human settlement. The forest islands within the grass páramo between 3,700 and 4,100 m, which are distributed today in a mosaic style, document the influence of fire by their sharp canopy margins. The current global changes in temperature and precipitation are not without consequences for people in the tropics. Their effects are visibly reflected in the decline of tropical glaciers that have been observed since the early 1980s. Those are an important source of water for agriculture and people in the metropolises in the Andes.

description: This thesis examined the cellular gene responses in the intestinal epithelial cells infected with different isolates of Giardia duodenalis parasite during a short-term infection. A hallmark of Giardia infection includes diarrhoea and abdominal pain associated with pathological changes to the surface of the gastrointestinal digestive tract. The results identified and described a significant number of genes that have an important role in several cellular mechanisms in response Giardia, such as immune responses, dysfunction of epithelial cell-cell junctions and host cell death. This work provided a comprehensive insight into G. duodenalis-induced early host gene responses.

description: Neutron star mergers (NSMs) eject energetic sub-relativistic dynamical ejecta into the circumbinary media. As analogous to supernovae and supernova remnants, the NSM dynamical ejecta are expected to produce non-thermal emission by electrons accelerated at a shock wave. In this paper, we present expected radio and X-ray signals by this mechanism, taking into account non-linear diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) and magnetic field amplification. We suggest that the NSM has a unique nature as a DSA site, where the seed relativistic electrons are abundantly provided by the decays of r-process elements. The signal is predicted to peak at a few 100 - 1,000 days after the merger, determined by the balance between the decrease of the number of seed electrons and the increase of the dissipated kinetic energy due to the shock expansion. While the resulting flux can ideally reach to the maximum flux expected from near-equipartition, the available kinetic energy dissipation rate of the NSM ejecta limits the detectability of such a signal. It is likely that the radio and X-ray emission are overwhelmed by other mechanisms (e.g., an off-axis jet) for an observer placed to a jet direction (i.e., for GW170817). On the other hand, for an off-axis observer, to be discovered once a number of NSMs are identified, the dynamical ejecta component is predicted to dominate the non-thermal emission. While the detection of this signal is challenging even with near-future facilities, this potentially provides a robust probe of the creation of r-process elements in NSMs.

description: In the N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, we consider the higher order anomalous dimensions gamma_L(g) of purely gluonic operators Tr(F^L) where F is a component of the self-dual field strength. We propose compact closed expressions depending parametrically on L that reproduce the prediction of Bethe Ansatz equations up to five loop order, including transcendental dressing corrections. The size dependence follows a simple pattern as the perturbative order is increased and suggests hidden relations for these special operators.

description: An atlas of deep, wide-field R-band CCD images of a complete sample of distant, X-ray-selected clusters of galaxies is presented. These clusters are the 41 most distant (z>= 0.15) and most X-ray luminous (Lx >= 2x10**44 erg\s-1) clusters in the Einstein Observatory Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) catalog that are observable from Mauna Kea (delta > -40 deg). The sample spans a redshift range of 0.15 <= z < 0.81 and includes at least 2 and possibly as many as 6 rich clusters with z>0.5. For the most part, the data are of superior quality, with a median seeing of 0''.8 FWHM and coverage of at least 1 Mpc X 1 Mpc in the cluster frame (Ho=50; q0=1/2). In addition, we update the available optical, X-ray and radio data on the entire EMSS sample of 104 clusters. We outline the cluster selection criteria in detail, and emphasize that X-ray-selected cluster samples may prove to be more useful for cosmological studies than optically selected samples. The EMSS cluster sample in particular can be exploited for diverse cosmological investigations, as demonstrated by the detection of evolution in the X-ray luminosity function previously reported, and more recently by the discovery of a large number of gravitationally lensed images in these clusters.

description: We present a study of the dust-to-gas ratios in five nearby galaxies NGC 628 (M74), NGC 6503, NGC 7793, UGC 5139 (Holmberg I), and UGC 4305 (Holmberg II). Using Hubble Space Telescope broad band WFC3/UVIS UV and optical images from the Treasury program LEGUS (Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey) combined with archival HST/ACS data, we correct thousands of individual stars for extinction across these five galaxies using an isochrone-matching (reddening-free Q) method. We generate extinction maps for each galaxy from the individual stellar extinctions using both adaptive and fixed resolution techniques, and correlate these maps with neutral HI and CO gas maps from literature, including The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) and the HERA CO-Line Extragalactic Survey (HERACLES). We calculate dust-to-gas ratios and investigate variations in the dust-to-gas ratio with galaxy metallicity. We find a power law relationship between dust-to-gas ratio and metallicity, consistent with other studies of dust-to-gas ratio compared to metallicity. We find a change in the relation when H$_2$ is not included. This implies that underestimation of $N_{H_2}$ in low-metallicity dwarfs from a too-low CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor $X_{CO}$ could have produced too low a slope in the derived relationship between dust-to-gas ratio and metallicity. We also compare our extinctions to those derived from fitting the spectral energy distribution (SED) using the Bayesian Extinction and Stellar Tool (BEAST) for NGC 7793 and find systematically lower extinctions from SED-fitting as compared to isochrone matching.

description: In order to find hyperparameters for a machine learning model, algorithms such as grid search or random search are used over the space of possible values of the models hyperparameters. These search algorithms opt the solution that minimizes a specific cost function. In language models, perplexity is one of the most popular cost functions. In this study, we propose a fractional nonlinear programming model that finds the optimal perplexity value. The special structure of the model allows us to approximate it by a linear programming model that can be solved using the well-known simplex algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to use optimization techniques to find perplexity values in the language modeling literature. We apply our model to find hyperparameters of a language model and compare it to the grid search algorithm. Furthermore, we illustrating that it results in lower perplexity values. We perform this experiment on a real-world dataset from SwiftKey to validate our proposed approach.
Improving Huntington’s Disease Education for New Staff in a Voluntary Mental Health Facility

description: Huntington’s Disease (HD) is rare neuro-degenerative disease that affects over 700 people in Ireland with a further 9,000 requiring information, support and care. Given the rarity of HD it appears that more education for healthcare professionals is needed. Without this education, people with HD may not receive the high quality care they require. Using the DMAIC framework for quality improvement (QI), this project investigated the need for HD education for healthcare staff in a voluntary mental health service in Dublin. Utilising QI tools such as driver and swim lane diagrams, a fishbone diagram and staff survey, the primary drivers leading to lack of specific HD education were identified. The result of the staff survey highlighted that 92% (N=25) of respondents ‘Strongly agreed’ and ‘Agree’ that, there is a need for HD education for staff and only 24% ‘Strongly agreed’ that they received appropriate HD training and education for caring for patients with HD. The staff induction process was identified as a potential implementation area to address this problem. The QI plan proposes to introduce three improvement strategies to the induction process: online access to HD videos and other resources, the provision of original HD leaflets and HD caregiver handbooks published by Huntington’s disease Association of Ireland, and finally to provide a HD presentation during the staff induction process. As a result, it is hoped that if staff can understand how care unfolds in HD, they could be better equipped to address patients’ needs. Therefore, providing best practice and care to patients in this facility.

Improving Adherence to the European Society of Cardiology’s 24-Hour to Coronary Angiogram Guideline

description: Abstract: Healthcare accessibility in Ireland is the worst in Europe. The project site (north Dublin teaching hospital), had over 700 Emergency Department (ED) Non-ST- Elevated Myocardial Infarctions (NSTEMIs) in 2017. These NSTEMI's were associated with increased times to Coronary Angiogram (CA), when compared to the European Society of Cardiology's (ESC) 24-hour to CA guideline. Increased time to CA is associated with increased mortality. Using Lean Six Sigma (LSS) tools within the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control) Quality Improvement (QI) model, the root causes of increased times to CA times were identified. One cause found was the use of non- high-sensitive troponin bloods to aid diagnosis of an NSTEMI. Process flow timing was analysed using patient data and value stream mapping. Results demonstrated 35% compliance with the ESC's 24-hour to CA guideline for high-risk NSTEMIs. The project site is bringing high-sensitive troponin blood analysis into practice. Analysis of a driver diagram resulted in a proposal of a National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and ESC high-sensitive troponin protocol for triage to aid adherence to the ESC's 24-hour to CA guideline. When compared to non-high- sensitive troponin bloods taken in triage, high sensitive troponin bloods taken in triage allows for earlier diagnosis of an NSTEMI. Many strategies are also proposed to aid achieving adherence to the high-sensitive troponin protocol e.g. displaying the protocol on the projects site's smart-phone application. Some expected outcomes include: decreased time to CA and decreased patient complications. Some proposed control methods include data re-measurement and patient surveys.

description: The paradigm of graphene transistors is based on the gate modulation of the channel carrier density by means of a local channel gate. This standard architecture is subject to the scaling limit of the channel length and further restrictions due to access and contact resistances impeding the device performance. We propose a novel design, overcoming these issues by implementing additional local gates underneath the contact region which allow a full control of the Klein barrier taking place at the contact edge. In particular, our work demonstrates the GHz operation of transistors driven by independent contact gates. We benchmark the standard channel and novel contact gating and report for the later dynamical transconductance levels at the state of the art. Our finding may find applications in electronics and optoelectronics whenever there is need to control independently the Fermi level and the electrostatic potential of electronic sources or to get rid of cumbersome local channel gates.

description: Family Quality of life is a sense of group well-being of a family. This PhD investigated parent perspectives of having a child with disability and its influence on their family quality of life. It also investigated the relationships between family quality of life, disability-related supports and parent occupations. Findings highlighted that increased caregiving impacts parental health, and being able to work. Disability-related supports are considered helpful. Parents use a positive outlook to feel good about their family quality of life. Despite feeling positive, the demands of caregiving get harder as the child gets older, and parents worry about the future.

description: We discuss the Stückelberg-Peterman extended renormalization group equations in perturbative QCD, which express the invariance of physical observables under renormalization-scale and scheme-parameter transformations. We introduce a universal coupling function that covers all possible choices of scale and scheme. Any perturbative series in QCD is shown to be equivalent to a particular point in this function. This function can be computed from a set of first-order differential equations involving the extended beta functions. We propose the use of these evolution equations instead of perturbative series for numerical evaluation of physical observables. This formalism is free of scale-scheme ambiguity and allows a reliable error analysis of higher-order corrections. It also provides a precise definition for $Λ_{\overline{\rm MS}}$ as the pole in the associated 't Hooft scheme. A concrete application to $R(e^+e^- \to {\rm hadrons})$ is presented.

Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The proposed quality improvement (QI) project aims to improve the prescription of antibiotics in acute exacerbations of COPD. The literature states that there is overprescription of antibiotics in AECOPD. Data was collected to review the management of AECOPD in an emergency department in Dublin. The management of patients admitted with AECOPD, over a set period of time, was reviewed with a detailed focus on the prescription of antibiotics in patients with no infiltrate on chest x-ray. Results from the data collection showed that there was overprescription of antibiotics in this population in accordance to Beaumont AECOPD guidelines. Quality improvement tools such as the fishbone diagram and DMAIC were used to identify the route causes and identify improvement measures that could be put in place. The results of the data collection has led to the development of a QI plan that targets both the healthcare professional and the patient. This QI project aims to improve the prescription of antibiotics in AECOPD.

description: We argue that recent measurements on both the superfluid density and the optical conductivity of high-quality LSCO films can be understood almost entirely within the theory of disordered BCS d-wave superconductors. The large scattering rates deduced from experiments are shown to arise predominantly from weak scatterers, probably the Sr dopants out of the CuO$_2$ plane, and correspond to significant suppression of $T_c$ relative to a pure reference state with the same doping. Our results confirm the "conventional" viewpoint that the overdoped side of the cuprate phase diagram can be viewed as approaching the BCS weak-coupling description of the superconducting state, with significant many-body renormalization of the plasma frequency. They suggest that, while some of the decrease in $T_c$ with overdoping may be due to weakening of the pairing, disorder plays an essential role.

description: Gallbladder disease is one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal presentations in the adult population across the developed world. The gold standard procedure for cholecystitis in Ireland is an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), which primarily is carried out as an inpatient procedure, with minimal day surgeries being performed. Using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control) model for Quality Improvement (QI), this dissertation investigates the waiting times for patients undergoing LC by a single general consultant in a hospital in North Dublin. A variety of tools were utilised including, process flow maps, stakeholder analysis, fishbone diagrams and driver diagrams to identify the root causes of the long waiting lists. The results indicate that the average waiting time for patients is 14.7 months and 100% of these surgeries are carried out as an inpatient procedure. Studies have shown that day surgery LC is a safe and effective alternative when adequate organisation and measures are in place. However, there remains uncertainty in this area with regard to which patients meet the eligibility criteria. Multiple factors influence this eligibility criteria including ASA grade, BMI, co- morbidities and age, but there is no set checklist established and implemented in practice in the Irish Healthcare System. This QI project plan proposes the introduction of an eligibility criteria checklist to identify a patient’s suitability for day surgery, for implementation by a general surgical team. The expected outcome is an increase in the number of day surgeries, with an ultimate long-term goal of decreasing waiting times for patients.
Supersymmetry breakdown for an extended version of the Nicolai supersymmetric fermion lattice model

description: Sannomiya-Katsura-Nakayama have recently studied supersymmetry breakdown for an extension of the Nicolai supersymmetric fermion lattice model. This model called the extended Nicolai model is parameterized by an adjustable constant $g\in \mathbb{R}$ in its defining supercharge, and satisfies ${\cal{N}}=2$ supersymmetry. We show that for any non-zero $g$ the extended Nicolai model breaks supersymmetry dynamically, and the energy density of any homogeneous ground state (that breaks supersymmetry) is strictly positive.

Reducing the Waiting List for New Referrals to the ENT Outpatient Department
Creators: name: Crowley, Jana
Publisher: name: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Lengthy outpatient waiting lists are a global healthcare concern affecting most hospital specialities, including in Ireland. The result is a delay in treatment and suboptimal outcomes for newly referred patients. Simultaneously, patients requiring long-term follow-up care exist amid this overburdened system. Data collection showed that in December 2017, 3,944 patients were waiting for a first time appointment within the ENT service of a large urban teaching hospital in Dublin. Of these, 766 were waiting to be seen by just one consultant and a total of 399 were waiting for more than 52 weeks. Of the 882 patients who were seen by the consultant between January and December 2017, only 252 were new referrals. These figures highlight the large proportion of return patients attending ENT outpatient services. This quality improvement project plan concentrates on an effort to improve waiting times for new patients by the creation of a non-physician-led ‘microsuction clinic’, which aims to streamline patients requiring regular care within the ENT department. Quality improvement tools including a driver diagram and an Ishikawa diagram were used to establish the root of the problem. With guidance of the DMAIC framework, the anticipated result could be a 46% reduction in the number of patients waiting more than twelve months, within one year of the projects implementation. Simultaneously, return patients could benefit from improved continuity of care and faster access to outpatient follow-up appointments.

description: Gletschervorfelder werden als einmalige Freilandlaboratorien bezeichnet, in denen die schrittweise Ansiedlung von Organismen von Null an beobachtet werden kann. Zahlreiche abiotische und biotische Faktoren sind entscheidend für die erste Besiedelung durch Pflanzen. Unter den biotischen Faktoren spielt vor allem der verfügbare Artenpool eine entscheidende Rolle und die Distanz zu den Samenquellen. Von den abiotischen Bedingungen dürften die Korngröße des Substrats und die damit korrelierte Wasserspeicherkapazität entscheidend sein. Die Geschwindigkeit der Erstbesiedelung scheint sich in Zeiten des Klimawandels zu erhöhen. Bereits nach ein bis zwei, spätestens drei Jahren nach dem Eisfreiwerden stellen sich Gefäßpflanzen und Moose ein. Die steigenden Temperaturen fördern das Höherwandern der Gefäßpflanzen und damit dürfte sich nicht nur die Geschwindigkeit, sondern auch der Verlauf der Primärsukzession verändern. Plants colonize new areas: Primary succession on glacier forelands: Glacier forelands are excellent field laboratories to study the colonization of organisms from zero onwards. Numerous abiotic and biotic factors are decisive for the first establishment of plants. Within the biotic factors, the available gene pool and the distance of the seed source play an essential role. Among the abiotic conditions, grain size of the substrate and the correlated water capacity are crucial. The speed of colonization seems to be enhanced due to climate warming. One to two years, at the latest three years after glacier retreat, the first vascular plants and bryophytes are present. The increasing temperatures favour the migration of plant species to higher elevations, thus not only the speed but also the course of the primary succession are expected to change.
Positive gravitational subsystem energies from CFT cone relative entropies

description: The positivity of relative entropy for spatial subsystems in a holographic CFT implies the positivity of certain quantities in the dual gravitational theory. In this note, we consider CFT subsystems whose boundaries lie on the lightcone of a point $p$. We show that the positive gravitational quantity which corresponds to the relative entropy for such a subsystem $A$ is a novel notion of energy associated with a gravitational subsystem bounded by the minimal area extremal surface $\tilde{A}$ associated with $A$ and by the AdS boundary region $\hat{A}$ corresponding to the part of the lightcone from $p$ bounded by $\partial A$. This generalizes the results of arXiv:1605.01075 for ball-shaped regions by making use of the recent results in arXiv:1703.10656 for the vacuum modular Hamiltonian of regions bounded on lightcones. As part of our analysis, we give an analytic expression for the extremal surface in pure AdS associated with any such region $A$. We note that its form immediately implies the Markov property of the CFT vacuum (saturation of strong subadditivity) for regions bounded on the same lightcone. This gives a holographic proof of the result proven for general CFTs in arXiv:1703.10656. A similar holographic proof shows the Markov property for regions bounded on a lightsheet for non-conformal holographic theories defined by relevant perturbations of a CFT.

description: We use X-ray tomography to investigate the translational and rotational dynamical heterogeneities of a three dimensional hard ellipsoids granular packing driven by oscillatory shear. We find that particles which translate quickly form clusters with a size distribution given by a power-law with an exponent that is independent of the strain amplitude. Identical behavior is found for particles that are translating slowly, rotating quickly, or rotating slowly. The geometrical properties of these four different types of clusters are the same as those of random clusters. Different cluster types are considerably correlated/anticorrelated, indicating a significant coupling between translational and rotational degrees of freedom. Surprisingly these clusters are formed already at time scales that are much shorter than the $α-$relaxation time, in stark contrast to the behavior found in glass-forming systems.

description: We propose a generalized way to formally obtain the gauge invariance of the kinetic part of a field Lagrangian over which a gauge transformation ruled by an $SU(n)_{U} \otimes SU(m)_{V}$ coupling symmetry is applied. As an illustrative example, we employ such a formal construction for reproducing the standard model Lagrangian. This generalized formulation is supposed to contribute for initiating the study of gauge transformation applied to generalized $SU(n)_{U} \otimes SU(m)_{V}$ symmetries as well as for complementing an introductory study of the standard model of elementary particles.
