description: We investigate the effect of a high frequency electromagnetic field with both of circularly and linearly polarization, on the emergence of quantum phases on thin topological insulators. Simultaneously, the influence of the system parameters (such as magnetic impurity, thickness engineering and structural inversion asymmetry of the potential) on emergence of topological phases is studied. We take our attention to the high frequency regime in which it is possible to consider an expansion for the Floquet Hamiltonian in terms of orders of 1/Ω. The topological invariants are determined and it is demonstrated that some phase transitions between quantum anomalous Hall insulator, quantum pseudospin Hall insulator, quantum spin Hall insulator and normal insulator can be induced by altering the aforementioned parameters of the system. To avoid heating process, tuning of the system parameters gives us the opportunity to observe these phase transitions at small intensities of light.

description: We study different one-parametric models of type Ia Supernova magnitude evolution on cosmic time scales. Constraints on cosmological and Supernova evolution parameters are obtained by combined fits on the actual data coming from Supernovae, the cosmic microwave background, and baryonic acoustic oscillations. We find that data prefer a magnitude evolution such that high-redshift Supernova are brighter than would be expected in a standard cosmos with a dark energy component. Data however are consistent with non-evolving magnitudes at the one-sigma level, except special cases. We simulate a future data scenario where SN magnitude evolution is allowed for, and neglect the possibility of such an evolution in the fit. We find the fiducial models for which the wrong model assumption of non-evolving SN magnitude is not detectable, and for which at the same time biases on the fitted cosmological parameters are introduced. Of the cosmological parameters the overall mass density has the strongest chances to be biased due to the wrong model assumption. Whereas early-epoch models with a magnitude offset ~z^2 show up to be not too dangerous when neglected in the fitting procedure, late epoch models with magnitude offset ~sqrt(z) have high chances to bias the fit results.

description: In this paper, I wish to highlight some of the main characteristics of the autobiographic writing by Glikl Hamel (1645-1724), a German Jewess who wrote her memories. She knows she is doing something that no woman has done before in Yiddish literature. She carefully mingles several literary genres, mixing stories with practical suggestions, proverbs, aphorism, parables, and elements of the so called Muser-literatur, books of moral behavior and instructions on how to be an observant Jew. The author was forty-five years old when she began to write, and her maturity is clearly present in the text, where she presents herself as well aware of what she wants to write, why and how. Glikl often relates about historical events. In particular here two examples are given, one about the relation with some Christian merchants, and the second about the impact of the news on Shabbetay Zevi, the false messiah, on her community.

description: We consider transport of dilute two-dimensional electrons, with temperature between Fermi and Debye temperatures. In this regime, electrons form a nondegenerate plasma with mobility limited by potential disorder. Different kinds of impurities contribute unique signatures to the resulting temperature-dependent Drude conductivity, via energy-dependent scattering. This opens up a way to characterize sample disorder composition. In particular, neutral impurities cause a slow decrease in conductivity with temperature, whereas charged impurities result in conductivity growing as a square root of temperature. This observation serves as a precaution for literally interpreting metallic or insulating conductivity dependence, as both can be found in a classical metallic system.

Fourth-order dynamics of the damped harmonic oscillator

description: It is shown that the classical damped harmonic oscillator belongs to the family of fourth-order Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillators. It follows that the solutions to the damped harmonic oscillator equation make the Pais-Uhlenbeck action stationary. Two systematic approaches are given for deriving the Pais-Uhlenbeck action from the damped harmonic oscillator equation, and it may be possible to use these methods to identify stationary action principles for other dissipative systems which do not conform to Hamilton's principle. It is also shown that for every damped harmonic oscillator $x$, there exists a two-parameter family of dual oscillators $y$ satisfying the Pais-Uhlenbeck equation. The damped harmonic oscillator and any of its duals can be interpreted as a system of two coupled oscillators with atypical spring stiffnesses (not necessarily positive and real-valued). For overdamped systems, the resulting coupled oscillators should be physically achievable and may have engineering applications. Finally, a new physical interpretation is given for the optimal damping ratio $ζ=1/\sqrt{2}$ in control theory.

description: We study the photon-dressed electronic band structure of topological insulator thin films which could be also doped doped by magnetic impurities in response to an off-resonance time-periodic electromagnetic field. The thin films irradiated by a circularly polarized light undergo phase transition, in a driven system made by and a fascinating feature of distinct phases emerges in the phase diagram depending on the parameters such as frequency, intensity and polarization of the light. As a particular case, quantum anomalous Hall insulator phase is induced purely by the light-induced mass term with no need to any external magnetic field or even magnetization arising from the doped-doping magnetic impurities. Moreover, a novel phase, quantum pseudo-spin Hall insulator, emerges in the phase diagram leading to anisotropic helical edge states with zero total Chern number. We verify these achievements in the phase diagrams are supported by numerical calculations for a nanoribbon of the thin film for which the edge mode behavior is observed at several points on the phase diagram. The emergence of the mentioned topological phases and the edge modes are further confirmed by both calculating the Hall conductivity by means of the Kubo formula and the Chern number of each band. The effect of light parameters on the Landau level fan diagram in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field indicates various topological phases occurring at higher Chern numbers.

description: Antisymmetric tensor fields are a compelling prediction of string theory. This makes them an interesting target for particle physics because antisymmetric tensors may couple to electromagnetic dipole moments, thus opening a possible discovery opportunity for string theory. The strongest constraints on electromagnetic dipole couplings would arise from couplings to electrons, where these couplings would contribute to Moller and Bhabha scattering. Previous measurements of Bhabha scattering constrain the couplings to $\tilde{M}_e m_C>7.1\times 10^4\,\mathrm{GeV}^2$, where $m_C$ is the mass of the antisymmetric tensor field and $\tilde{M}_e$ is an effective mass scale appearing in the electromagnetic dipole coupling.

description: Reef squids belong to a group reputed for polarization sensitivity, yet polarization patterns of reef squid have not been quantified in situ. To quantify polarization patterns from video polarimetric data, we developed a protocol to map two-dimensional polarization data onto squid-shaped three-dimensional tessellated surfaces. This protocol provided a robust data container used to investigate three-dimensional regions-of-interest, producing data lineouts derived from the squid's geometry. This protocol also extracted polarimeter and squid body orientations and the solar heading from polarization images. When averaged over the solar heading, the ventral midline gave a low degree of polarization (2.4 ± 5.3%), and the area between the ventral and flank midlines had higher values (9.0 ± 5.3%). This averaged data had a large discontinuity in the angle of polarization (AoP) at the mantle's ventral midline (64 ± 55°), with larger discontinuities measured on individual squid. Ray-tracing calculations demonstrated that the AoP pattern was not related to the squid's surface-normal geometry. However, the AoP followed virtual striation axes on the squid's surface oriented 24° to the squid's long axis, similar in angle (27°) to the striations of birefringent collagen fibres documented in other squid species’ skin.

description: Let $D$ denote the distance matrix for an $n+1$ point metric space $(X,d)$. In the case that $X$ is an unweighted metric tree, the sum of the entries in $D^{-1}$ is always equal to $2/n$. Such trees can be considered as affinely independent subsets of the Hamming cube $H_n$, and it was conjectured that the value $2/n$ was minimal among all such subsets. In this paper we confirm this conjecture and give a geometric interpretation of our result which applies to any subset of $H_n$.

description: This paper solves the two-sided version and provides a counterexample to the general version of the 2003 conjecture by Hadwin and Larson. Consider evaluations of linear matrix pencils $L=T_0+x_1T_1+\cdots+x_mT_m$ on matrix tuples as $L(X_1,\dots,X_m)=I\otimes T_0+X_1\otimes T_1+\cdots+X_m\otimes T_m$. It is shown that ranks of linear matrix pencils constitute a collection of separating invariants for simultaneous similarity of matrix tuples. That is, $m$-tuples $A$ and $B$ of $n\times n$ matrices are simultaneously similar if and only if the ranks of $L(A)$ and $L(B)$ are equal for all linear matrix pencils $L$ of size $mn$. Variants of this property are also established for symplectic, orthogonal, unitary similarity, and for the left-right action of general linear groups. Furthermore, a polynomial time algorithm for orbit equivalence of matrix tuples under the left-right action of special linear groups is deduced.

The Past and Present of Crime Research in Social Forces: How the Sociology of Crime Lost its Roots—And Found Them Again
Creators: name: Duxbury, Scott
Publisher: name: Oxford University Press (OUP)
Year: 2023

description:
The centennial of Social Forces provides an opportunity to examine change and stability in crime research in one of sociology’s oldest journals. Since the first issue of Social Forces in 1922, crime and punishment have transitioned from marginal topics subsumed under the umbrella of deviance studies to a central research area. This essay traces the intellectual development of crime research as captured in Social Forces’ pages and contrasts it with the growing independence of criminology as an academic field. To do so, I employ two analyses. First, I examine the topical classifications provided by Moody, Edelmann and Light (2022). Second, I expand upon these classifications by using structural topic models (STM) to detect clusters of crime research activity in Social Forces’ abstracts and group them into “eras” of crime research. The analysis reveals a circular development of crime research in Social Forces that reflects broader trends in the sociology of crime. 1 Themes of power, stratification, and punishment oriented early studies on crime. Research attention focused on inequality within the justice system, the effects of juvenile justice contact on criminal labeling and recidivism, and inequalities resulting from justice system contact. However, as crime rates rose throughout the Western world, Social Forces articles sought to explain the causes of crime and evaluate policies designed to cull the crime wave. In recent decades, persistent crime declines combined with growing concern with an oversized prison system have refocused attention on incarceration and its collateral consequences, especially for adolescent well-being and racial and class inequalities. In this way, crime research in Social Forces has returned to core themes of power and stratification that motivated early work in the sociology of crime. It has also distanced itself from individual etiology and policy studies that once dominated the journal’s pages and that continue to appear in specialist outlets.
Contesting Reports of Racism, Contesting the Rights to Assess
Creators: name: Zhang, Tianhao
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2023

description:
Analyzing a thread of online interaction, I apply conversation analysis and discursive psychology methods to explicate how experiences of racism are reported and contested by participants in interaction. The person reporting their experience of racism (the reporter) applies commonsense knowledge to assess the perpetrator's racist intent. Recipients of the report contest the reporter's rights to assess the perpetrator's intent while managing their lack of independent access to the reported encounter. In milder contestations, they cast doubt while avoiding assessing the situation themselves, which leads to negotiations over the accusation without contesting the correctness of the reporter's assessment. In aggravated contestations, recipients explicitly contest the reporter's assessment of the perpetrator, which leads to interactional breakdowns where moral culpabilities of both sides are implicated. Implications for understanding the moral difficulties involved in accusing racism, the interactional contingencies involved in responding to and contesting such accusations, and members’ understandings of racism are discussed.
Hyper‐Local Fear of Crime: Identifying Linguistic Cues of Fear in Crime Talk on Reddit
Creators: name: Wu, Qunfang

Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2023

description:
The fear of crime is an emotional response individuals have toward crime or the anticipation related to being the victim of crime. The increasing exposure to crime information presents considerable risks to people's psychological health and well‐being. Nevertheless, the fear of crime in online discourses is under‐researched despite abundant conversations about crime. This work presents a mixed‐methods study to comprehend how people disclose the fear of crime and what linguistic content or cues are associated with the fear. We gathered conversations about crime in the Baltimore subreddit. The content analysis revealed a necessity to differentiate between “experienced” and “expressive” fear of crime. The regression modeling identified strong factors related to the fear of crime, such as negative sentiment, objective expression, and first‐person pronouns. This work extends the conceptualization of the fear of crime in online discourses and suggests potential ways to detect the fear automatically.
Sub-Kolmogorov droplet dynamics in isotropic turbulence using a multiscale lattice Boltzmann scheme

description: The deformation and dynamics of a single droplet in isotropic turbulence is studied using a Lattice Boltzmann diffuse interface model involving exact boundary flow conditions to allow for the creation of an external turbulent flow. We focus on a small, sub-Kolmogorov droplet, whose scale is much smaller than the Kolmogorov length scale of the turbulent flow. The external flow field is obtained via pseudo-spectral simulation data describing the trajectory of a passive tracer in isotropic turbulence. In this way we combine the microscopic scale of the droplet and the macroscopic scale of the turbulent flow. The results obtained from this fully resolved model are compared to previous studies on sub-Kolmogorov droplet dynamics in isotropic turbulent flows, where an analytical model, which assumes the droplet shape to be an ellipsoid at all times, is used to describe the droplet deformation. Our findings confirm, that the hybrid pseudo-spectral Lattice Boltzmann algorithm is able to study droplet deformation and breakup in a regime well beyond the ellipsoidal approximation.
Trade as Villain: Belief in the American Dream and Declining Support for Globalization

Year: 2023

description:
Why has US commercial policy become increasingly politicized in the twenty-first century?We argue that this politicization reflects an interaction between elite rhetoric on unfair trade practices and American meritocratic values. As the twenty-first century progressed, elites increasingly argued that economic malaise was a result of predatory practices by US trading partners. This “trade is unfair” rhetoric resonated most strongly with meritocratic Americans: individuals who believed in principles of market fairness but also worried about future economic prospects. To evaluate the argument that trade policy frames resonate differently among Americans, we draw on data from several survey experiments as well as a large, original panel data set with repeat observations of the same individuals. Individuals who are most tied to the myth of the classic American Dream are the most likely to respond to a frame blaming unfair trade for America’s economic problems, and this contributes to rising antiglobalization sentiment.

The King’s Elder Brother: Forest King and “Political Imagination” in Southern Orissa

Year: 2010

description: Today, any traveller can make a “tribal tour” proposed by the local Tourist Offices of Orissa State in order to take snaps of Saora, Kond or Bondo “tribes” at their colourful weekly markets. Our common imaginary of tribes is the product of the 19th century perception, which needs to be clarified. With this aim in view, this communication will try, firstly, to trace a short history of the British gaze on the so-called ādivāsī ‘Indian tribes’, before proposing a renovated perspective on those groups. By using both ethnographical and historical sources of Southern Orissa, we will show here that the “tribes” of this particularly remote area were not so isolated from Hindu kingdoms, as commonly believed. Leaving aside British colonial categories (“tribes” versus “castes”), which so far have been adopted as socio-cultural tools to label those groups, we can find more complex relations by simply coming back to the local Indian categories. Once relocated in their historical and sociological context, even the myths offer rather clear data about the self-image of the people who invented them. By taking into consideration the practical politico-ritual frame of the kingdom, beyond the theoretical castes-hierarchy, this article will eventually throw light on the pre-colonial “political imagination” (Pollock 1993) or rhetoric of the Hindu kings about the tribes and their mythical ancestor.

“Minimal” and “Biased”: An Intersectional Analysis of Female Candidates’ Perceptions of Their Local News Coverage
Creators: name: Lorenz, Andrea
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2023

description:
This qualitative study analyzes the perceptions of US women political candidates about their local news coverage at a pivotal moment of change in both journalism and electoral politics. Through an intersectional approach, in-depth interviews with thirty-seven women who recently ran for office from 2016 to 2020 revealed findings in two areas of news research: local news declines and gender bias in political news. First, massive declines in local news capacities have trickled into local political communication, which, along with affordances of social media, point to a decline in relevance of local media to local campaigns. Second, participants perceived bias in their news coverage based on an identity intersecting with their gender, partisan affiliation, or both. Their experiences offered two potential ways forward for local news to reattain relevancy in local elections in countries of local news declines: through accountability journalism, and by diversifying staff to meet the needs of a diversifying electoral slate of candidates.

description: By analyzing the calculated baryon number susceptibility ratios ${χ_{1}^{B}}/{χ_{2}^{B}}$ and ${χ_{3}^{B}}/{χ_{1}^{B}}$ in two-flavor system via the Dyson-Schwinger equation approach of QCD, we determine the chemical freeze-out temperature and baryon chemical potential in cases of both thermodynamic limit and finite size. We calculate the center-of-mass energy dependence of the ${χ_{4}^{B}}/{χ_{2}^{B}}\, (κσ^{2})$ at the freeze-out line and find an excellent agreement with experimental data when taking into account the finite size effect. Our calculations indicate that the $κσ^{2}$ exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior in lower collision energy region. We also predict that the collision energy dependence of ${χ_{6}^{B}}/{χ_{2}^{B}}$ is nonmonotonic.

On spectroscopic phase-curve retrievals: H2 dissociation and thermal inversion in the atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-103 b

description: This work presents a re-analysis of the spectroscopic phase-curve observations of the ultra hot Jupiter WASP-103 b obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Spitzer Telescope. Traditional 1D and unified 1.5D spectral retrieval techniques are employed, allowing to map the thermal structure and the abundances of trace gases in this planet as a function of longitude. On the day-side, the atmosphere is found to have a strong thermal inversion, with indications of thermal dissociation traced by continuum H- opacity. Water vapor is found across the entire atmosphere but with depleted abundances of around 1e-5, consistent with the thermal dissociation of this molecule. Regarding metal oxide and hydrides, FeH is detected on the hot-spot and the day-side of WASP-103 b, but TiO and VO are not present in detectable quantities. Carbon-bearing species such as CO and CH4 are also found, but since their detection is reliant on the combination of HST and Spizer, the retrieved abundances should be interpreted with caution. Free and Equilibrium chemistry retrievals are overall consistent, allowing to recover robust constraints on the metallicity and C/O ratio for this planet. The analyzed phase-curve data indicates that the atmosphere of WASP-103 b is consistent with solar elemental ratios.

Separation of Transitions with Two Quantum Jumps from Cascades

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: We consider the general scenario of an excited level |i> of a quantum system that can decay via two channels: (i) via a single-quantum jump to an intermediate, resonant level |bar m>, followed by a second single-quantum jump to a final level |f>, and (ii) via a two-quantum transition to a final level |f>. Cascade processes |i> -> |bar m> -> | f> and two-quantum transitions |i> -> |m> -> |f> compete (in the latter case, |m> can be both a nonresonant as well as a resonant level). General expressions are derived within second-order time-dependent perturbation theory, and the cascade contribution is identified. When the one-quantum decay rates of the virtual states are included into the complex resonance energies that enter the propagator denominator, it is found that the second-order decay rate contains the one-quantum decay rate of the initial state as a lower-order term. For atomic transitions, this implies that the differential-in-energy two-photon transition rate with complex resonance energies in the propagator denominators can be used to good accuracy even in the vicinity of resonance poles.

This work is a departure from traditional historically oriented cross-cultural studies in that the entire mythologies, rather than motifs or tale-types, of peoples are compared. A pragmatic approach necessitated by the size of the corpora analyzed requires that the number of cultures be relatively small (eight were included in the analysis) and that the units of analysis be rudimentary (the word is the unit employed). The computer was used to determine the frequencies of all words in each corpus. Frequential analysis of the myth data was limited to three semantic areas: religion, social organization, and technology. Two correlation coefficients were employed. Spearman's Rho (a statistic which measures similarity of rank orderings) was tested and rejected in favor of a modified form of Robinson's Index of Agreement (a statistic which measures differences in percentage frequencies). Both the comparison of relative frequencies of individual words and the overall assessment of similarities in frequency through submission of correlation matrices to Smallest Space Analysis result in the recognition of two cultural groups: a Canadian Plateau group consisting of the Lillooet, Lower Thompson, and Upper Thompson corpora and an American Plateau group consisting of the Okanagon, Colville, Sanpoil, Kalispel, and Coeur d'Alene corpora. This division of the Interior Salish myth corpora into two geographically distinct groups coincides with previously observed cultural and linguistic classifications.
Yeats, Cuchulain e la fine del ciclo

description: In analysing two ‘Cuchulain plays’ by Yeats, this study highlights the central quality of modernism in On Baile’s Strand, where tragedy is deflated by farce and contaminated with low-mimetic style, and the full expression of despair is hindered by a Blind Man and a Fool, acting as spectators and providing an alternative view of existence. In The Death of Cuchulain the hero’s tragedy is revisited, thus haunting the final moments of his life. Yet again, Cuchulain is denied his tragic stature and is assigned a farcical death which diminishes his mythical figure. The ultimate stage of demythization is reached in Purgatory, a play with no Cuchulain, where an Old Man and a Boy reproduce the father-son struggle, with the former killing the latter. Yeats’s obsessive theme has come to an end. The annihilation of the Cuchulain myth and its central event, at the end of Yeats’s life, seems to be pointing to the end of all ideals in a final apocalypse devoid of any possible eternal return.

description: We present the characterization and calibration of the Slow-Scan observation mode of the Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) onboard the AKARI satellite. The FIS, one of the two focal-plane instruments on AKARI, has four photometric bands between 50--180 um with two types of Ge:Ga array detectors. In addition to the All-Sky Survey, FIS has also taken detailed far-infrared images of selected targets by using the Slow-Scan mode. The sensitivity of the Slow-Scan mode is one to two orders of magnitude better than that of the All-Sky Survey, because the exposure time on a targeted source is much longer. The point spread functions (PSFs) were obtained by observing several bright point-like objects such as asteroids, stars, and galaxies. The derived full widths at the half maximum (FWHMs) are ~30'' for the two shorter wavelength bands and ~40'' for the two longer wavelength bands, being consistent with those expected by the optical simulation, although a certain amount of excess is seen in the tails of the PSFs. The flux calibration has been performed by the observations of well-established photometric calibration standards (asteroids and stars) in a wide range of fluxes. After establishing the method of aperture photometry, the photometric accuracy for point-sources is better than +-15% in all of the bands expect for the longest wavelength.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate United States (US) radiation oncology (RO) program directors' (PDs) attitudes and practices regarding racial/ethnic diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to better understand potential effects on underrepresented in medicine (UIM) residents in RO. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A 28-item survey was developed using the validated Ethnic Harassment Experiences Scale and the Daily Life Experiences subscale, as well as input from DEI leaders in RO. The survey was institutional review board-approved and administered to RO PDs. PDs were provided with the American Association of Medical Colleges definition of UIM, that is, "Underrepresented in medicine means those racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population." Descriptive statistics were used in analysis. RESULTS: The response rate was 71% (64/90). Institutional Culture and Beliefs: 42% responded that they had a department DEI director. A minority (17%, n = 11) agreed "I believe that people from UIM backgrounds have equal access to quality tertiary education in the US." The majority (97%, n = 62) agreed "My program values residents from UIM backgrounds." Support and Resources: The majority (78%, n = 50) agreed "My program has resources in place to assist/provide support for resident physicians from UIM backgrounds." Interview and Recruitment: Most PDs (53%) had not taken part in activities aimed at recruiting UIM residents and 17% had interviewed no UIM applicants in the past 5 years for residency. Resident Experiences of Racism: 17% (n = 11) agreed "UIM residents in my program have reported incidents of racism to me," and 28% (n = 18) agreed "I believe that UIM residents in my program have been treated differently because of their race/ethnicity by faculty, staff, coresidents or patients." CONCLUSIONS: Most PDs reported that they did not believe that UIM residents were treated differently in their department because of their race/ethnicity, and only a minority had received reports of racial discrimination experienced by residents. These data contrast resident experiences and suggest a disconnect between DEI perceptions and resident experiences among US RO PDs that should be addressed through increased programmatic action and evaluation.

description: Hot stars are sources of X-ray emission originating in their winds. Although hydrodynamical simulations that are able to predict this X-ray emission are available, the inclusion of X-rays in stationary wind models is usually based on simplifying approximations. To improve this, we use results from time-dependent hydrodynamical simulations of the line-driven wind instability (seeded by the base perturbation) to derive the analytical approximation of X-ray emission in the stellar wind. We use this approximation in our non-LTE wind models and find that an improved inclusion of X-rays leads to a better agreement between model ionization fractions and those derived from servations. Furthermore, the slope of the L_x-L relation is in better agreement with observations, however the X-ray luminosity is underestimated by a factor of three. We propose a possible solution for this discrepancy.

L’Irlanda e i suoi simboli: W.B. Yeats lettore “occulto” di Giovanni Scoto l’Eriugena

description: La relazione tra il filosofo medievale Giovanni Scoto l’Eriugena e il
poeta modernista, drammaturgo e folklorista William Butler Yeats mostra un interessante paradosso. Da un lato, quello tra i due è un legame fondamentale, che si sostanzia sul tema dell’identità culturale irlandese, sul retroterra filosofico del Neoplatonismo, e sull’importanza della fantasia come strumento gnoseologico per la scoperta di un mondo absconditus; dall’altro lato, benché tali temi intridano in modo decisivo la Weltanschaung yeatsiana, il nome di Eriugena è assai scarsamente citato nelle sue pagine. Per comprendere la loro relazione, è dunque necessario procedere per legami indiretti e comparazioni teo- retiche. Scopo del presente saggio è osservare l’impianto neoplatonico dell’opera di Yeats, al fine di comprenderne l’affinità con l’Eriugena nel contesto dello sviluppo della cultura irlandese, mostrando la natura della connessione tra il filosofo e il poeta.

description:
The causes of racial and ethnic disparities in cancer risk and outcomes in the U.S. are complex and multifaceted and require an appreciation of the importance of understanding and addressing social determinants of cancer in a health equity approach to disease prevention and control in the U.S. This commentary pertains to 1 specific contributor to racial and ethnic health disparities; the link between obesity and cancer; which is a growing focus of oncology research and clinical care. Thirteen cancers are associated with overweight (BMI≥25 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI≥30 kg/m2): adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, breast, colon and rectum, gallbladder, kidneys, liver, meningioma, multiple myeloma, ovaries, pancreas, thyroid, upper stomach, and uterus.

description: We present measurements of B meson decays to the final states omegaK*, omegarho, and omega f_0, where K* indicates a spin 0, 1, or 2 strange meson. The data sample corresponds to 465x10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider at SLAC. B meson decays involving vector-scalar, vector-vector, and vector-tensor final states are analyzed; the latter two shed new light on the polarization of these final states. We measure the branching fractions for nine of these decays; five are observed for the first time. For most decays we also measure the charge asymmetry and, where relevant, the longitudinal polarization f_L.
