Verzeichnet bei Heyne (ca. 1869-1883), Bl. 2v. Ehemals Teil der Handschrift UB Basel O II 14; eindeutig zuordenbar aufgrund kodikologischer Merkmale (Format, Anlage der Seite, Bindungslöcher); O II 14 als Druckvorlage für Heinrich Petris 1534 erschienene Ausgabe "Rabani Mauri Moguntinensis archiepiscopi commentaria in Hieremiam prophetam" (VD16 B 3784) verwendet, heute aber nur mehr fragmentarisch erhalten; es fehlen: Einband (nur mehr lose Lagen), Anfang, Schluss, einiges dazwischen; der fragmentarische Zustand offenbar der Verwendung als Druckvorlage geschuldet (vgl. Beschreibung O II 14); nach dem Kauf der Druckerei Petri im frühen 17. Jahrhundert durch die Familie Faesch fand O II 14 Eingang in die Sammlung des Remigius Faesch (Museum Faesch); in Faeschs eigenem Katalog seiner Sammlung, Bl. 158v, noch als "Rabanus Maurus in Jeremiam", in Hubers, Bl. 1r, und Hänels, Sp. 656, Verzeichnissen nur mehr als "Fragmenta libri cuiusdam theologici argumenti forte patris ecclesiastici, satis antiquo charactere exarata" angeführt; wahrscheinlich hatte Faesch die Handschrift, wenngleich nach ihrer Verwendung als Druckvorlage wohl ohne Einband und in Form loser Lagen, aber trotzdem, was den Inhalt angeht, noch vollständig oder zumindest in einem Zustand, der Autor und Werk noch klar erkennen liess, vorliegen; irgendwann danach, werden die jetzt fehlenden Teile, darunter das hier vorliegende Verzeichnis, abhandengekommen sein.

description: We propose a spin current diode which can work even in a small applied bias condition (the linear-response regime). The prototypal device consists of a hornlike electron waveguide with Rashba spin-orbit interaction, which is connected to two leads with different widths. It is demonstrated that when electrons are incident from the narrow lead, the generated spin conductance fluctuates around a constant value in a wide range of incident energy. When the transport direction is reversed, the spin conductance is suppressed strongly. Such a remarkable difference arises from spin-flipped transitions caused by the spin-orbit interaction.

description: General circulation models are often used to explore exoclimate parameter spaces and classify atmospheric circulation regimes. Models are tuned to give reasonable climate states for standard test cases, such as the Held-Suarez test, and then used to simulate diverse exoclimates by varying input parameters such as rotation rates, instellation, atmospheric optical properties, frictional timescales and so on. In such studies, there is an implicit assumption that the model which works reasonably well for the standard test case will be credible at all points in an arbitrarily wide parameter space. Here, we test this assumption using the open-source general circulation model THOR to simulate atmospheric circulation on tidally locked Earth-like planets with rotation periods of 0.1 to 100 days. We find that the model error, as quantified by the ratio between physical and spurious numerical contributions to the angular momentum balance, is extremely variable across this range of rotation periods with some cases where numerical errors are the dominant component. Increasing model grid resolution does improve errors but using a higher-order numerical diffusion scheme can sometimes magnify errors for finite-volume dynamical solvers. We further show that to minimize error and make the angular momentum balance more physical within our model, the surface friction timescale must be smaller than the rotational timescale.

Perceptions of Critical Thinking in Post Secondary Educational Research
Creators: Raina Stephens
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

The following is a review of existing literature on faculty perceptions, understandings, and definitions of Critical Thinking (CT) within a post-secondary context. CT is an ill-defined concept and individual understandings can be shaped by ontological or epistemological positions, as well as institutional and structural pressures. This paper explores researcher’s explicit and implicit conceptualizations of CT through a process informed by critical discourse analysis. The findings show a little homogeneity of CT understanding among either researchers or their participants. I conclude that more nuanced and subjective perceptions of CT are needed among post-secondary faculty and researchers because of the incredibly complex nature of the construct.

Self-similar cosmologies in 5D: spatially flat anisotropic models
Creators: name: de Leon, J. Ponce
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the context of theories of Kaluza-Klein type, with a large extra dimension, we study self-similar cosmological models in 5D that are homogeneous, anisotropic and spatially flat. The "ladder" to go between the physics in 5D and 4D is provided by Campbell-Maagard's embedding theorems. We show that the 5-dimensional field equations $R_{AB} = 0$ determine the form of the similarity variable. There are three different possibilities: homothetic, conformal and "wave-like" solutions in 5D. We derive the most general homothetic and conformal solutions to the 5D field equations. They require the extra dimension to be spacelike, and are given in terms of one arbitrary function of the similarity variable and three parameters. The Riemann tensor in 5D is not zero, except in the isotropic limit, which corresponds to the case where the parameters are equal to each other. The solutions can be used as 5D embeddings for a great variety of 4D homogeneous cosmological models, with and without matter, including the Kasner universe. Since the extra dimension is spacelike, the 5D solutions are invariant under the exchange of spatial coordinates. Therefore they also embed a family of spatially {\it inhomogeneous} models in 4D. We show that these models can be interpreted as vacuum solutions in braneworld theory. Our work (I) generalizes the 5D embeddings used for the FLRW models; (II) shows that anisotropic cosmologies are, in general, curved in 5D, in contrast with FLRW models which can always be embedded in a 5D Riemann-flat (Minkowski) manifold; (III) reveals that anisotropic cosmologies can be curved and devoid of matter, both in 5D and 4D, even when the metric in 5D explicitly depends on the extra coordinate, which is quite different from the isotropic case.

Local prediction of turning points of oscillating time series

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For oscillating time series, the prediction is often focused on the turning points. In order to predict the turning point magnitudes and times it is proposed to form the state space reconstruction only from the turning points and modify the local (nearest neighbor) model accordingly. The model on turning points gives optimal prediction at a lower dimensional state space than the optimal local model applied directly on the oscillating time series and is thus computationally more efficient. Monte Carlo simulations on different oscillating nonlinear systems showed that it gives better predictions of turning points and this is confirmed also for the time series of annual sunspots and total stress in a plastic deformation experiment.

description: In this article mixed CuInP$_2$(S$_x$Se$_{1-x}$)$_6$ crystals were investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy (20 Hz - 3 GHz). The complete phase diagram has been obtained from these results. The phase diagram of investigated crystals is strongly asymmetric - the decreasing of ferroelectric phase transition temperatures in CuInP$_2$(S$_x$Se$_{1-x}$)$_6$ is much more flat with small admixture of sulphur then with small admixture of selenium. In the middle part of the phase diagram (x=0.4-0.9) the dipolar glass phase has been observed. In boundary region between ferroelectric order and dipolar glass disorder with small amount of sulphur (x=0.2-0.25) at low temperatures the nonergodic relaxor phase appears. The phase diagram was discussed in terms of random bonds and random fields.

description: The Bianchi IX cosmological model is analyzed in a generalized uncertainty principle framework. The Arnowitt-Deser-Misner reduction of the dynamics is performed and a time-coordinate, namely the volume of the Universe, naturally arises. Such a variable is treated in the ordinary way while the anisotropies (the physical degrees of freedom) are described by a deformed Heisenberg algebra. The analysis of the model (passing through Bianchi I and II) is performed at classical level by studying the modifications induced on the symplectic geometry by the deformed algebra. We show that, the Universe can not isotropize because of the deformed Kasner dynamics, the triangular allowed domain is asymptotically stationary with respect to the particle (Universe) and its bounces against the walls are not interrupted by the deformed effects. Furthermore, no reflection law can be in general obtained since the Bianchi II model is no longer analytically integrable. This way, the deformed Mixmaster Universe can be still considered a chaotic system.

description: We present time-series VLT spectroscopy and NTT photometry of the cataclysmic variable SDSS J220553.98+115553.7, which contains a pulsating white dwarf. We determine a spectroscopic orbital period of 82.825 +/- 0.089 min from velocity measurements of the Halpha emission line. A period analysis of the light curves reveals a dominant periodicity at 44.779 +/- 0.038 min which is not related to the spectroscopic period. However, the light curves do not exhibit a variation at any frequency which is attributable to GW Lib type pulsations, to a detection limit of 5 mmag. This non-detection is in contrast to previous studies which have found three pulsation frequencies with amplitudes of 9 to 11 mmag at optical wavelengths. Destructive interference and changes to the thermal properties of the driving layer in direct response to accretion can be ruled out as causes of the non-detection. Alternatively, it is feasible that the object has cooled out of the instability strip since a previous (unobserved) dwarf nova superoutburst. This would be the first time this behaviour has been seen in a cataclysmic variable pulsator. Another possibility is that changes in the surface characteristics, possibly induced by accretion phenomena, have modified the surface visibility of the pulsation modes. Further observations, particularly improved constraints on the timescale for changes in the mode spectrum, are needed to distinguish among possible explanations.

Quantum-like model for unconscious-conscious interaction and emotional coloring of perceptions and other conscious experiences

description: Quantum measurement theory is applied to quantum-like modeling of coherent generation of perceptions and emotions and generally for emotional coloring of conscious experiences. In quantum theory, a system should be separated from an observer. The brain performs self-measurements. To model them, we split the brain into two subsystems, unconsciousness and consciousness. They correspond to a system and an observer. The states of perceptions and emotions are described through the tensor product decomposition of the unconscious state space; similarly, there are two classes of observables, for conscious experiencing of perceptions and emotions, respectively. Emotional coloring is coupled to quantum contextuality: emotional observables determine contexts. Such contextualization reduces degeneration of unconscious states. The quantum-like approach should be distinguished from consideration of the genuine quantum physical processes in the brain (cf. Penrose and Hameroff). In our approach the brain is a macroscopic system which information processing can be described by the formalism of quantum theory.

description: Globally, cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality, with an estimated 18.1 million cancer cases, 10 million deaths, and 1.9 million new cases diagnosed in 2020 (Sung et al., 2021). However, during the past several decades, cancer survival has improved such that 82% of children and >2/3 of adults diagnosed with cancer will survive beyond five years (World Health Organization (WHO) - Childhood Cancer, 2021). Skeletal muscle atrophy and fibrosis are long-term adverse effects experienced by 80% of cancer survivors for which there is no available therapy (Paulino, 2004). These long-term consequences are related to the toxicity from the cancer treatment, leading to alterations in skeletal muscle function which can lead to comorbidities and increased mortality among cancer survivors (Paulino, 2004; Williams et al., 2016). Thus, novel approaches to address the long-term effects of cancer therapy on skeletal muscle are critically needed. Exercise training is a potential non-pharmacological strategy that improves common cancer- and treatment-related side effects (Mustian et al., 2012). Specifically, exercise programs that combine resistance and endurance training (RET) have been shown to improve muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness in cancer survivors (Tong et al., 2020). The mechanisms responsible for these effects remain unknown. The remarkable plasticity of skeletal muscle relies primarily on muscle stem (satellite) cells (MuSCs) (Lepper et al., 2011) that are regulated, in part, by muscle-resident stromal cells (Bentzinger et al., 2013). These different stromal cell types, including: vascular endothelial cells (ECs), immune cells, and mesenchymal progenitors, also known as fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs), create the muscle stem cell niche (Yin et al., 2013). FAPs possess a dual role as they are involved in skeletal muscle maintenance and regeneration by secreting pro-myogenic trophic factors (Biferali et al., 2019; Joe et al., 2010; Uezumi et al., 2010; Wosczyna et al., 2019), but also contribute to fibrotic and fatty tissue accumulation in chronic degenerative conditions (Uezumi et al., 2010). The divergent features of FAPs highly depend on signals they receive from their microenvironment (Giuliani et al., 2021); however, FAP's contribution to cancer treatment-induced muscle pathology in cancer survivors remains unknown. The overall objective of this thesis is to begin to develop an understanding of the role of FAPs in cancer treatment-induced muscle pathology and to determine if RET represents an effective therapy to prevent the long-term muscle defects of juvenile cancer plus therapy.
Capital gains and surplus stripping
Creators: name: Salvatori, Peter E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines recent legislative developments in tax avoidance law, dealing specifically with surplus stripping and capital gains bailouts. Surplus stripping consists in the avoidance of the second level of tax on corporate source income normally exigible when dividends are paid to shareholders. Surplus, or dividend-stripping, is the taxpayer's response to the double taxation of corporate earnings and has accordingly been practiced in Canada since the 1926 revision of the Income War Tax Act, 1917, first introduced this scheme for the taxation of corporations and their shareholders. As a result of changes to the Income Tax Act in 1977, the scope of surplus stripping operations was greatly limited and subsequent legislation moved to block the few remaining perceived abuses. Capital gains strips or bailouts represent a much less long-standing problem for the fiscal authorities, being established upon the imaginative combination of statutory rules and results, some of which were passed into law as recently as 1977. Capital gains strips import the abolition of capital gains tax at the corporate level and can effectively provide individuals with unlimited deferral of tax upon the realization of appreciated capital property. Thus, capital gains strips, while perhaps not precipitating a serious loss of revenue to the fisc, undermine the principle of equity, a cornerstone of tax reform. Whereas surplus stripping operations have been curtailed (principally by the elimination of the incentive to engage in them) the government has only very recently moved to eradicate capital gains avoidance with complicated and as yet untested legislation. The present study deals with;each of the two types of avoidance activities mentioned in the preceding paragraphs. The first chapter traces the evolution of dividend-stripping in Canada from its beginnings to the time of the enactment of the most recent legislative provisions designed to combat it. These are analysed and commented in the second and third chapters of the thesis. The fourth and fifth chapters present an interjurisdictional comparison, investigating surplus stripping activities and the corresponding efforts of the fiscal authorities to combat them in Great Britain and in the United States respectively. The sixth through to the eighth chapters deal in a similar fashion with capital gains stripping. The new Canadian rules are deployed and critically evaluated. Capital gains stripping practices in the United States and Great Britain respectively are then studied along with the related anti-avoidance legislation.

description: To explore the effect of environment on star-formation and morphological transformation of high-redshift galaxies, we present a robust estimation of localized galaxy overdensity using a density estimator within the Bayesian probability framework.The maps of environmental overdensity at $0.5< z< 2.5$ are constructed for the five CANDELS fields. In general, the quiescent fraction increases with overdensity and stellar mass. Stellar mass dominates the star formation quenching for massive galaxies, while environmental quenching tends to be more effective for the low-mass galaxies at $0.5< z < 1$. For the most massive galaxies ($M_* > 10^{10.8} M_{\odot}$), the effect of environmental quenching is still significant up to $z \sim 2.5$. No significant environmental dependence is found in the distributions of Sérsic index and effective radius for SFGs and QGs separately. The primary role of environment might be to control the quiescent fraction. And the morphological parameters are primarily connected with star formation status. The similarity in the trends of quiescent fraction and Sérsic index along with stellar mass indicates that morphological transformation is accompanied with star formation quenching.

description: Low energy ion-beam sputtering of GaSb results in self-organized nanostructures, with the potential of structuring large surface areas. Characterisation of such nanostructures by optical methods is studied and compared to direct (local) microscopic methods. The samples consist of densely packed GaSb cones on bulk GaSb, approximately 30, 50 and 300 nm in height, prepared by sputtering at normal incidence. The optical properties are studied by spectroscopic ellipsometry, in the range 0.6-6.5 eV, and with Mueller matrix ellipsometry in the visible range, 1.46-2.88 eV. The optical measurements are compared to direct topography measurements obtained by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Good agreement is achieved between the two classes of methods when the experimental optical response of the short cones (<55 nm) is inverted with respect to topological surface information via a graded anisotropic effective medium model. The main topological parameter measured was the average cone height, but estimates of typical cone shape and density (in terms of volume fractions) were also obtained. The graded anisotropic effective medium model treats the cones as a stack of concentric cylinders (discs) of non-increasing radii. Optical methods are shown to represent a valuable characterization tool for nanostructured surfaces, in particular when large coverage area is desirable. Due to the fast and non-destructive properties of optical techniques, they may readily be adapted to in-situ configurations.

description: Using first-principles density functional calculations, we study the electronic and magnetic properties of ferromagnetic insulating double-perovskite compound La2NiMnO6, which has been reported to exhibit interesting magnetic field sensitive dielectric anomaly as a function of temperature. Our study reveals existence of very soft infra-red active phonons that couple strongly with spins at the Ni and Mn sites through modification of the super-exchange interaction. We suggest that these modes are the origin for observed dielectric anomaly in La2NiMnO6.

description: Current cyber-physical systems (CPS) are expected to accomplish complex tasks. To achieve this goal, high performance, but unverified controllers (e.g. deep neural network, black-box controllers from third parties) are applied, which makes it very challenging to keep the overall CPS safe. By sandboxing these controllers, we are not only able to use them but also to enforce safety properties over the controlled physical systems at the same time. However, current available solutions for sandboxing controllers are just applicable to deterministic (a.k.a. non-stochastic) systems, possibly affected by bounded disturbances. In this paper, for the first time we propose a novel solution for sandboxing unverified complex controllers for CPS operating in noisy environments (a.k.a. stochastic CPS). Moreover, we also provide probabilistic guarantees on their safety. Here, the unverified control input is observed at each time instant and checked whether it violates the maximal tolerable probability of reaching the unsafe set. If this probability exceeds a given threshold, the unverified control input will be rejected, and the advisory input provided by the optimal safety controller will be used to maintain the probabilistic safety guarantee. The proposed approach is illustrated empirically and the results indicate that the expected safety probability is guaranteed.

description: A comprehensive theory of electron spin resonance (ESR) for a Luttinger liquid (LL) state of correlated metals is presented. The ESR measurables such as the signal intensity and the line-width are calculated in the framework of Luttinger liquid theory with broken spin rotational symmetry as a function of magnetic field and temperature. We obtain a significant temperature dependent homogeneous line-broadening which is related to the spin symmetry breaking and the electron-electron interaction. The result crosses over smoothly to the ESR of itinerant electrons in the non-interacting limit. These findings explain the absence of the long-sought ESR signal of itinerant electrons in single-wall carbon nanotubes when considering realistic experimental conditions.

description: The laser alignment system of the ZEUS microvertex detector is described. The detector was installed in 2001 as part of an upgrade programme in preparation for the second phase of electron-proton physics at the HERA collider. The alignment system monitors the position of the vertex detector support structure with respect to the central tracking detector using semi-transparent amorphous-silicon sensors and diode lasers. The system is fully integrated into the general environmental monitoring of the ZEUS detector and data has been collected over a period of 5 years. The primary aim of defining periods of stability for track-based alignment has been achieved and the system is able to measure movements of the support structure to a precision around $10 μ$m.

description: The authors present an impedance-matched reduced version of acoustic cloaking whose mass is in a reasonable range. A layered cloak design with isotropic material is also proposed for the reduced cloak.

description: The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of the propagation of a sequence of plasma knots in laboratory conditions and the astrophysical environment. The physical and geometric parameters of the simulation have been chosen close to the parameters of the PF-3 facility (Kurchatov Institute) and the jet of the star RW Aur. We found that the low-density region formed after the first knot propagation plays an important role for collimation of the subsequent ones. Assuming only the thermal expansion of the subsequent emissions, qualitative estimates of the time taken to fill this area with the surrounding matter and the angle of jet scattering have been made. These estimates are consistent with observations and results of our modeling.

description: Within the framework of the minimal non-minimal supersymmetric standard model (MNMSSM) with tadpole terms, CP violation effects in the Higgs sector are investigated at the one-loop level, where the radiative corrections from the loops of the quark and squarks of the third generation are taken into account. Assuming that the squark masses are not degenerate, the radiative corrections due to the stop and sbottom quarks give rise to CP phases, which trigger the CP violation explicitly in the Higgs sector of the MNMSSM. The masses, the branching ratios for dominant decay channels, and the total decay widths of the five neutral Higgs bosons in the MNMSSM are calculated in the presence of the explicit CP violation. The dependence of these quantities on the CP phases is quite recognizable, for given parameter values.

title: Canadian Utility Wood Pellet Exports Are Shifting from Europe to Asia

description: Canada is the third largest global exporter of utility wood pellets1 (wood pellets), a biomass product burned
for commercial scale electricity generation or cogeneration. Between 2012 (the first calendar year wood
pellets were assigned their own HS subheading) and 2022, Canada’s wood pellet exports more than
doubled to 3.5 million metric tons(mt). This growth was driven by both supply (Canada’s immense forested
land and extensive timber harvesting) and demand (wood pellet combustion incentivization polices of
destination countries) factors. In 2012, most Canadian wood pellet exports went to the European Union,
especially to the then-member, the United Kingdom. Recently, however, Canadian wood pellet exports
have shifted to Japan and South Korea. Intriguingly, ownership of Canadian wood pellet production and
exports is increasingly dominated not by Canadian-headquartered companies, but by Drax, a UK utility.

description: The transition of soluble proteins into insoluble aggregates underlies many neurodegenerative disorders. While disorders vary with respect to age of onset, disease phenotype, prognosis and the identity of the involved proteins, the irreversible transition to a thermodynamically stable amyloid state has been strongly implicated in all of them. Amyloids have been studied for over 160 years and much work has gone into the study of amyloid morphology and assembly. Despite extensive experimentation, information regarding the structures of amyloid nuclei, and therefore the initiation of amyloid formation and therefore the defining event underlying many neurodegenerative diseases, has eluded researchers. Biophysical models show that, in fact, the direct visualization of the high-energy, transient amyloid nucleus would be predicted to be incredibly difficult if not impossible. Additionally, due to the lack of sequence complexity in many of these peptides, bioinformatic prediction of amyloidogenic proteins or regions is exceedingly error prone. At the extreme of this lack of sequence complexity is the polyglutamine expansion underlying Huntingtin’s Disease (HD). We utilized a high-throughput cytometric platform for the analysis of amyloid nucleation barriers in living cells to systematically dissect the nucleus of polyglutamine expansions. We probed how geometry relating to the primary structure of the polypeptide could affect the transition of these disordered regions by introducing amino acids at regular spacings. Using rational mutagenesis, we found that simple rules relating to glutamine spacing had predictable results on amyloid nucleation. These results supported molecular dynamics free energy simulations of rationally designed nuclei. These results provide more context for the prediction of potential amyloidogenic proteins which could be implicated in disease.

description: The lattice dynamics of LaFeAsO_{1-x}F_{x} (x=0, 0.1) and PrFeAsO_{1-y} (y~0.1) are investigated using inelastic x-ray scattering and ab-initio calculation. Measurements of powder samples provide an approximation to the phonon DOS, while dispersion is measured from a single crystal of PrFeAsO_{1-y}. A model that agrees reasonably well with all of the data at room temperature is built from results of ab-initio calculations by softening the strength of the Fe-As bond by 30%.

An Algorithm For Photometric Identification Of Transiting Circumbinary Planets

description: Transiting planets manifest themselves by a periodic dimming of their host star by a fixed amount. On the other hand, light curves of transiting circumbinary (CB) planets are expected to be neither periodic nor to have a single depth while in transit. These propertied make the popular transit finding algorithm BLS almost ineffective so a modified version of BLS for the identification of CB planets was developed - CB-BLS. We show that using this algorithm it is possible to find CB planets in the residuals of light curves of eclipsing binaries that have noise levels of 1% and more - quality that is routinely achieved by current ground-based transit surveys. Previous searches for CB planets using variation of eclipse times minima of CM Dra and elsewhere are more closely related to radial velocity than to transit searches and so are quite distinct from CB-BLS. Detecting CB planets is expected to have significant impact on our understanding of exoplanets in general, and exoplanet formation in particular. Using CB-BLS will allow to easily harness the massive ground- and space- based photometric surveys in operation to look for these hard-to-find objects.

Phantom stars and topology change

description: In this work, we consider time-dependent dark energy star models, with an evolving parameter $ω$ crossing the phantom divide, $ω=-1$. Once in the phantom regime, the null energy condition is violated, which physically implies that the negative radial pressure exceeds the energy density. Therefore, an enormous negative pressure in the center may, in principle, imply a topology change, consequently opening up a tunnel and converting the dark energy star into a wormhole. The criteria for this topology change are discussed, in particular, we consider the Morse Index analysis and a Casimir energy approach involving quasi-local energy difference calculations that may reflect or measure the occurrence of a topology change. We denote these exotic geometries consisting of dark energy stars (in the phantom regime) and phantom wormholes as phantom stars. The final product of this topological change, namely, phantom wormholes, have far-reaching physical and cosmological implications, as in addition to being used for interstellar shortcuts, an absurdly advanced civilization may manipulate these geometries to induce closed timelike curves, consequently violating causality.

description: The present paper deals to the quintom model of dark energy. We introduce a first-order formalism, which shows how to relate the potential that specifies the scalar field model to Hubble parameter. Reviewing briefly the quintom scenario of dark energy, we present a general procedure to solve the equations of motion for quintom model driven by a couple scalar fields with first-order differential equations.
