description: Genus CYCASIA, new genus Postocular bristles pale, but fine and slender, two supraorbital pairs of bristles, both reclinate, and three pairs of incurved infraorbitals; outer vertical bristles of moderate length and inner pair very long and erect, situated on short elevated bases; eye higher than long, face vertical; third antenna! segment not acute at apex above; arista short pubescent; proboscis short and stout. Presutural bristle strong; dorsocentral pair a little behind a line drawn between supra-alars; sternopleural, mesopleural, and pteropleural strong; scutellum slightly flattened, bare on disk, with four long bristles. Femora unspined; mid tibia with short posterior setulae and one stout apical ventral bristle; hind tibia with a series of anterodorsal setulae. First wing vein setulose from humeral cross vein to apex above, bare below; third vein with three or four setulae at base above, other veins bare; fourth vein slightly dipped down into discal cell before inner cross vein; cross vein closing anal cell almost erect, cell without an apical lower lobe. Fifth abdominal tergite of male as long as two preceding tergites combined, rounded in apical outline, with a pair of prominent glossy black discal bullae and a series of quite long marginal bristles. Genotype: Cycasia oculata, new species. This genus will not run down satisfactorily to any in Hendel's key to the genera of the family (Wien. ent. Zeitung, 33: 73, 1914). It undoubtedly belongs to the segregate or tribe Euribiini of Hendel's latest paper on the family (Die Fliegen der palaearktischen Region, 49, Trypetidae, 1927).

Dog visitation's impact on seniors' social support : comparing group and individual conditions
Creators: name: Burton, Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Introduction: Social support (SS) is an important determinant of senior health. Dogs are an underutilized modality for seniors’ SS promotion, and dog visitation programs are emerging to address this underutilization. Dogs impact SS in two ways according to the Social Support Theory, as an agent of SS (direct) or as a facilitator of SS (indirect). Purpose: To replicate naturalistic interventions to determine whether visiting dog programs positively impact SS, whether there are differences between individual and group conditions, and whether differences are primarily due to direct or indirect effects of dog visiting programs. Methodology: An exploratory quasi-experimental comparative intervention study design, with mixed methods, was utilized. The six-week intervention involved participants’ (n=8) exposure to a dog and its handler to measure the influence on participants’ perceived SS. Two conditions, group and individual, were compared to explore differences in visiting dog programs. Quantitative measurements of social support were taken at baseline, immediately post intervention, and at six weeks post intervention. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted throughout the intervention along with field notes. Six weeks following the intervention a focus group was held to determine longer-term effects. Quantitative data were analyzed using mixed measures ANOVA and qualitative data were analyzed using interpretive description. Results: Mixed measures ANOVA were not significantly different between conditions, over time, or over time between conditions. The main effect in the individual condition was indirect, that is, facilitation of interaction between participant and handler. The group condition formed the primary bond with the visiting dog during the intervention (direct), however the group was able to maintain a connection because of the program six weeks post intervention (indirect). Reminiscence emerged as an important component of the visitation program. Conclusion: The visiting dog program produced positive influence on participants. The lasting impact of the program was the impression left by the relationship built between participants and the visiting dog. Future studies should incorporate reminiscence into the research design to further investigate its influence.
The Commodified Aestheticization of the Chap

Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2019

description: The article critically addresses the contemporary British chap movement and its manifestations by contextualizing it in the cultural history of 20th- and 21st-male subcultures. The central point of this movement is an aestheticization of male identity. The movement’s preference for apparels from the Edwardian Period and the 1920s will be analysed in the light of theories about nostalgia, which include that nostalgia has radical potentials. The question asked in the article is if and to what extent the chap movement as a subculture is subversive and radical. The inherent contradictions of the movement between its subversive potentials and commodification of the gentleman concept have their release in the ironic, but real Chap Olympics event, and in the satirical style of the Chap Magazine and of its book publications. The website of the Chap Magazine is http://thechap.co.uk/.

Year: 2019

description: The article addresses authenticity and aestheticization in a context of coffee culture and branding. Coffee culture exemplifies an area with an increased focus on authenticity. Knowledge about origin, cultivation methods, processing, and type of coffee have become important dimensions in evaluating the authentic coffee experience and taste of coffee. At the same time, coffee brands strive to present unique and authentic coffee identities. Based on a textual/aesthetic analysis of a sample of images on Nespresso’s Danish website, the article examines the role of aestheticization in branding coffee as authentic. The article demonstrates the social semiotic concept of modality as a perspective to understand the ways in which authenticity and aestheticization are connected.

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2008

description: This thesis is related to the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The impact of a misaligned silicon tracking detector on the performance of b-quark-jet identification algorithms is studied. The development of a new algorithm which relies on the reconstruction of a secondary decay vertex inside the examined jet and which is almost insensitive to the degree of misalignment is discussed. Thus it is optimised for the initial data taking phase at the experiment.

description: The topic of the article is the current aestheticization of nocturnal darkness as a domain of experience economy. Here, the article will explore a tension between the framing of nocturnal darkness as an experience product and as a source of enchantment, i.e. of epiphanic experiences of the ‘astronomical sublime’. This conflictual status is theoretically explained through the concept of enchantment and its strong, but ambivalent relationship to the aestheticization of late modern society. During the article, the discussion will be supplemented and illuminated by analyses of how Danish dark sky sites frame natural darkness as a source of knowledge and wonder.

description: FAMILY OTITIDAE This is the family that until recently was called Ortalidae by authors, but, owing to the preoccupation of the generic name Ortalis in Ornithology, the name was changed to Otitidae. There are four genera of the family in the present collection, represented by five species. One of the species is widely distributed, being almost cosmopolitan, its saprophagous larval habits making it a ready subject for transportation in commercial vessels. All the others appear to be new to science, and possibly they are indigenous to Guam.

Nonlinear transport effects in mass separation by effusion

description: Generalizations of Onsager reciprocity relations are established for the nonlinear response coefficients of ballistic transport in the effusion of gaseous mixtures. These generalizations, which have been established on the basis of the fluctuation theorem for the currents, are here considered for mass separation by effusion. In this kinetic process, the mean values of the currents depend nonlinearly on the affinities or thermodynamic forces controlling the nonequilibrium constraints. These nonlinear transport effects are shown to play an important role in the process of mass separation. In particular, the entropy efficiency turns out to be significantly larger than it would be the case if the currents were supposed to depend linearly on the affinities.
Enhanced barrier performance of cellulosic wood fiber/filler network
Creators: name: Feng, Xianzhong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Cellulose is an abundant material, which is widely used in papermaking. It is both a biodegradable and sustainable material. However, its hydrophilic nature may limit its applications in specific and novel areas such as waterproof packaging and paper based microfluidics. In this thesis, three different routes are followed to render the surface of the paper superhydrophobic. First, chemical vapor-phase silanization is done on handsheets made from wood pulp with untreated kaolin clay and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) as fillers. The effect of fiber length, filler’s type, size, and concentration on the barrier performance of handsheets is shown. Secondly, mircofibrillated cellulose (MFC), which serves as reinforcement agent in paper, is employed as an additive to change the hydrophilic property of paper. MFC is silanized to obtain hydrophobicity before being dispersed into the pulp suspension. Then the resulting paper undergoes an additional silanization (post-treatment). The third approach involves depositing Janus clay particles on untreated paper. A Janus particle has a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic surface. Because clay particles are hydrophilic, they are treated to obtain hydrophobicity on one side, while the other side remains hydrophilic. An efficient method to obtain these types of particles is the formation of a Pickering emulsion. The study here, focuses on the determining the barrier properties of the prepared superhydrophobic or hydrophobic papers: wettability, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and air permeability. The handsheets with shorter fiber length, precipitated calcium carbonate, smaller filler size and lower filler content, were found to exhibit lower WVTR values. The water contact angle of handsheets loaded with fillers, Janus clay particles and hydrophobic MFC, was found to be 120~130°, 141° and 134~144° respectively.

description: Spiral arm properties of 46 galaxies in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) were measured at 3.6mu, where extinction is small and the old stars dominate. The sample includes flocculent, multiple arm, and grand design types with a wide range of Hubble and bar types. We find that most optically flocculent galaxies are also flocculent in the mid-IR because of star formation uncorrelated with stellar density waves, whereas multiple arm and grand design galaxies have underlying stellar waves. Arm-interarm contrasts increase from flocculent to multiple arm to grand design galaxies and with later Hubble types. Structure can be traced further out in the disk than in previous surveys. Some spirals peak at mid-radius while others continuously rise or fall, depending on Hubble and bar type. We find evidence for regular and symmetric modulations of the arm strength in NGC 4321. Bars tend to be long, high amplitude, and flat-profiled in early type spirals, with arm contrasts that decrease with radius beyond the end of the bar, and they tend to be short, low amplitude, and exponential-profiled in late Hubble types, with arm contrasts that are constant or increase with radius. Longer bars tend to have larger amplitudes and stronger arms.

description: We investigate the Mott transition in the anisotropic kagomé lattice Hubbard model using the cellular dynamical mean field theory combined with continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo simulations. By calculating the double occupancy and the density of states, we determine the interaction strength of the first-order Mott transition and show that it becomes small as the anisotropy increases. We also calculate the spin correlation functions and the single-particle spectrum, and reveal that the quasiparticle and magnetic properties change dramatically around the Mott transition; the spin correlations are strongly enhanced and the quasiparticle bands are deformed. We conclude that such dramatic changes are due to the enhancement of anisotropy associated with the relaxation of frustration around the Mott transition.

It has the frons entirely different, however, the ocelli being about one third of length from vertex to anterior margin instead of close to vertex, and the arrangement of the bristles is quite remarkable. There are three long, equally spaced bristles on each orbital margin, the anterior one close to the middle and the upper one at vertex, the middle one being a little behind the level of the posterior ocelli; a fourth pair of bristles that are much shorter, finer, and incurved (undoubtedly the inner vertical pair) is situated about one third of the distance from the vertical to the second bristle and closer together on the inner edge of the orbits; ocellars short, divergent. Frons slightly bulged upward in front, with many stiff erect black hairs. Eyes bare. Profile higher than long. Antennae about half the face length, third segment not over twice as long as wide, broadly rounded at apex, second segment with some long hairs at apex below, one or two of which extend beyond the apex of third segment; aristae short haired on entire length; facial foveae shallow and narrow; epistome slightly projecting; genal bristle present; postocular bristle lacking. Thorax with the following bristles: 1 humeral, 2 notopleurals, 1 supra-alar, 2 postalars, 1 pair of dorsocentrals, 1 pair of short prescutellar acrostichals, and 6 scutellars; disk of scutellum haired. \Ving fasciate with black, first and third veins setulose on their entire extent above, inner cross vein close to middle of the discal cell; first posterior cell not narrowed at apex, anal vein obsolete apically, cross vein closing anal cell almost straight.

description: We present results of a long-term spectroscopic monitoring program (since mid 2009) of Luminous Blue Variables with the new HERMES echelle spectrograph on the 1.2 m Mercator telescope at La Palma (Spain). We investigate high-resolution (R=80,000) optical spectra of two LBVs, P Cyg and HD 168607, the LBV candidates MWC 930 and HD 168625, and the LBV binary MWC 314. In P Cyg we observe flux changes in the violet wings of the Balmer Hα, Hβ, and He I lines between May and Sep 2009. The changes around 200 km/s to 300 km/s are caused by variable opacity at the base of the supersonic wind from the blue supergiant. We observe in MWC 314 broad double-peaked metal emission lines with invariable radial velocities over time. On the other hand, we measure in the photospheric S II λ5647 absorption line, with lower excitation energy of ~14 eV, an increase of the heliocentric radial velocity centroid from 37 km/s to 70 km/s between 5 and 10 Sep 2009 (and 43 km/s on 6 Apr 2010). The increase of radial velocity of ~33 km/s in only 5 days can confirm the binary nature of this LBV close to the Eddington luminosity limit. A comparison with VLT-UVES and Keck-Hires spectra observed over the past 13 years reveals strong flux variability in the violet wing of the Hα emission line of HD 168625, and in the absorption portion of the Hβ line of HD 168607. In HD 168625 we observe Hα wind absorption at velocities exceeding 200 km/s which develops between Apr and June 2010.

Introduced to zoology by illustrious teachers such as Umberto D’Ancona, Giuseppe Colosi and Umberto Pierantoni, he became one of the world’s leading experts on Oligochaeta of the 20th century. At the same time, inspired by the mentorship of Emanuele Padoa and Giuseppe Montalenti, he passionately cultivated the most diverse fields of life sciences: karyology and cytogenetics, biogeography, theoretical biology, evolution, biocybernetics, history and criticism of scientific thought, so much so that he is considered one of the fathers of modern Italian biology. This document contains all of Omodeo’s extant publications in these fields, while a comprehensive list of Omodeo’s contributions to the field of oligochaetology has been published in Zootaxa 5589(1), 33–67, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5589.1.6.

description: Aestheticization is a pervasive force in consumer culture (Featherstone 2002); it is central to the invention and reinvention of symbolic resources that structure current market economies (Reckwitz 2017). A recent example with a complex nexus of consumption, identity, politics and nostalgia, is the reinvention of ‘Nordicness’ and ‘The Nordic Lifestyle’, with sub-fields such as (New) Nordic Cuisine, (New) Nordic Design and (New) Nordic Cinema (Leer 2016, Andersen et al. 2019, Skou and Munch 2016). This paper investigates the aestheticization of ‘The Nordic Way of Life’ as commodified and marketed in the form of the magazine Oak - The Nordic Journal.

Detecting the drivers of divergence : identifying and estimating natural selection in threespine stickleback
Creators: name: Rennison, Diana Jessie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Differences in ecological factors between habitats drive evolutionary divergence and can lead to the generation of new species. While many studies provide evidence suggesting a given trait or genetic locus is adaptive few studies are able to elucidate the direct mechanisms responsible for differences in fitness. I use experimental and observational studies in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) to identify factors that have driven divergence and to disentangle the mechanisms by which differential fitness arises. To disentangle direct selection on a phenotype from selection on correlated characters encoded by its underlying gene, I applied statistical methods for the estimation of selection on correlated characters (Chapter 2). These data provided the first evidence of direct selection on the lateral plate phenotype and suggested that pleiotropy at the Ectodysplasin locus is likely an important factor driving the rapid and repeated evolution of armour phenotypes. Spectral sensitivity is thought to evolve to match features of the local light environment. Marine and freshwater threespine stickleback inhabit divergent light environments and therefore provide an opportunity to test the hypothesis of spectral matching. I surveyed the opsin gene expression and spectral sensitivity of multiple marine and freshwater populations to test this hypothesis (Chapter 3). While I find weak evidence for spectral matching, I do find evidence suggesting adaptive divergence of spectral sensitivity between populations inhabiting different light environments. Competition is widely appreciated to play a direct role in driving trait divergence; however, it can also have indirect effects mediated through differential exposure to predators. To test for the contribution of species interactions to phenotypic and genetic divergence I conducted an experiment that manipulated exposure of threespine stickleback to a predator, coastal ii cutthroat trout (Chapter 4). After one generation of differential exposure to trout there was evidence of phenotypic and genetic divergence between treatments. These results suggest that cutthroat trout are an important source of divergent selection between populations of threespine stickleback. These studies suggest that bony armour and visual sensitivity are locally adapted and that pleiotropy and genetic architecture likely play an important role in determining evolutionary trajectory during the adaptation of threespine stickleback to freshwater habitats.
Near-field radiative heat transfer and van der Waals friction between closely spaced graphene and amorphous SiO$_2$

description: We study the radiative heat transfer and the van der Waals friction between graphene and an amorphous SiO$_2$ substrate. We study the surface phonon-polaritons contribution to the low-field mobility as a function of temperature and of carrier density. We find that the electric current saturate at a high electric field, in agreement with experiment. The saturation current depends weakly on the temperature, which we attribute to the "quantum" friction between the graphene carriers and the substrate optical phonons. We calculate the frictional drag between two graphene sheets caused by van der Waals friction, and find that this drag can induce a high enough voltage which can be easily measured experimentally. We find that for nonsuspended graphene the near-field radiative heat transfer, and the heat transfer due to direct phononic coupling, are of the same order of magnitude at low electric field. The phononic contribution to the heat transfer dominates at high field. For large separation between graphene and the substrate the heat transfer is dominated by the near-field radiative heat transfer.

description: Binary mixtures of amphiphiles in solution can self-assemble into a wide range of structures when the two species individually form aggregates of different curvatures. In this paper, we focus on small, spherically-symmetric aggregates in a solution of sphere-forming amphiphile mixed with a smaller amount of lamella-forming amphiphile. Using a coarse-grained mean-field model (self-consistent field theory, or SCFT), we scan the parameter space of this system and find a range of morphologies as the interaction strength, architecture and mixing ratio of the amphiphiles are varied. When the two species are quite similar in architecture, or when only a small amount of lamella-former is added, we find simple spherical micelles with cores formed from a mixture of the hydrophobic blocks of the two amphiphiles. For more strongly mismatched amphiphiles and higher lamella-former concentrations, we instead find small vesicles and more complex micelles. In these latter structures, the lamella-forming species is encapsulated by the sphere-forming one. For certain interaction strengths and lamella-former architectures, the amount of lamella-forming copolymer encapsulated may be large, and the implications of this for the solubilization of hydrophobic chemicals are considered. The mechanisms behind the formation of the above structures are discussed, with a particular emphasis on the sorting of amphiphiles according to their preferred curvature.

description: Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function and let $A(f)$ denote the set of points that escape to infinity `as fast as possible' under iteration. By writing $A(f)$ as a countable union of closed sets, called `levels' of $A(f)$, we obtain a new understanding of the structure of this set. For example, we show that if $U$ is a Fatou component in $A(f)$, then $\partial U\subset A(f)$ and this leads to significant new results and considerable improvements to existing results about $A(f)$. In particular, we study functions for which $A(f)$, and each of its levels, has the structure of an `infinite spider's web'. We show that there are many such functions and that they have a number of strong dynamical properties. This new structure provides an unexpected connection between a conjecture of Baker concerning the components of the Fatou set and a conjecture of Eremenko concerning the components of the escaping set.

Come chiarisce sin dalle prime righe l'introduzione, l'obiettivo dell'opera non è né dare una definizione stringente di realismo né catalogare tutte le differenti modalità in cui, in letteratura, forme antirealistiche si sono opposte o intrecciate a quelle realistiche: questo non soltanto perché l'ambito è limitato al XX secolo, ma anche perché non viene imposta una prospettiva che permetta di inquadrare in un modello generale la dinamica tra le due forme di rappresentazione.

description: Taking into account noise from intrinsic ellipticities of source galaxies, in this paper, we study the peak statistics in weak-lensing convergence maps around clusters of galaxies and beyond. We emphasize how the noise peak statistics is affected by the density distribution of nearby clusters, and also how cluster-peak signals are changed by the existence of noise. These are the important aspects to be understood thoroughly in weak-lensing analyses for individual clusters as well as in cosmological applications of weak-lensing cluster statistics. We adopt Gaussian smoothing with the smoothing scale $θ_G=0.5\hbox{ arcmin}$ in our analyses. It is found that the noise peak distribution near a cluster of galaxies depends sensitively on the density profile of the cluster. For a cored isothermal cluster with the core radius $R_c$, the inner region with $R\le R_c$ appears noisy containing on average $\sim 2.4$ peaks with $ν\ge 5$ for $R_c= 1.7\hbox{ arcmin}$ and the true peak height of the cluster $ν=5.6$, where $ν$ denotes the convergence signal to noise ratio. For a NFW cluster of the same mass and the same central $ν$, the average number of peaks with $ν\ge 5$ within $R\le R_c$ is $\sim 1.6$. Thus a high peak corresponding to the main cluster can be identified more cleanly in the NFW case. In the outer region with $R_c

Antonio Castore, Il dialogo spezzato. Forme dell’incomprensione in letteratura
Creators: name: Bio, Mariangela
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Il testo propone un’esauriente disamina della letteratura che ha fatto dell’incomprensione elemento saliente del suo tessuto narrativo. Scorrevole, corposa, efficacemente dettagliata, la scrittura di Castore scivola fra i secoli e le ripartizioni di genere, declina i confini dei discorsi, affrontando i vicoli ciechi della significazione nei dialoghi interni all’opera letteraria.

Æstetik og æstetisering

Year: 2019

description: In this issue of Academic Quarter we present a number of different perspectives on the subject of Aestheticization. Our aim is that the present introduction may serve as a suitable frame of reference to the contributions. In order to obtain this, we have chosen a historical structure that takes its point of departure in the rise of philosophical aesthetics during early modernity, from Baumgarten, Kant to Hegel. The contributions of these philosophers on cognitive processes, the beauty of art and nature reflect the development of the modern individualistic subject and the rise of a modern bourgeois culture of education and good manners. In a further perspective, it seems that an emerging late modern culture is developing that breaks away from positions within classic philosophical aesthetics. Resent works of current philosophers and sociologists, among them Wolfgang Welsch, Gernot Böhme and Andreas Reckwitz point to the rise of an aesthetic economy that has given rise to a culture of singularity. I.e. a culture, where an academic middle-class, well-educated within new digital media, has adopted a life style where professional and personal success depends on your ability to stage yourself and your life successfully with unique objects and features. This has led to a general pursuit for culturally authentic objects, and therefore an increasing aestheticization of the world outside the world of art.

Total reflection and transmission by epsilon-near-zero metamaterials with defects
Creators: name: Xu, Yadong

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: In this work, we investigate wave transmission through an epsilon-near-zero metamaterial waveguide embedded with defects. We show that by adjusting the geometric sizes and material properties of the defects, total reflection and even transmission can be obtained, despite the impedance mismatch of epsilon-near-zero material with free space. Our work can greatly simplify the design of zero-index material waveguide applications by removing the dependence on permeability.

description: The aim of this case study based on action research was to show how the usage of a narrative-collaborative coaching approach, in a group setting of women aged 40-55, could help women to bridge the gap between action and knowledge concerning lifestyle changes. Furthermore, physical activity was utilized to create and strengthen group dynamics. The dominant narratives associated with lifestyle changes are presented as results of this study. The case study sheds light on important aspects to consider when wanting to change people’s way of living. The group setting has central impact in the process. Confronting and co-creating old and new realities in a group setting with like-minded individuals proved to enhance the understanding of oneself and possible ways of dealing with the experienced barriers. Given the short duration of the action research based case study period, more research is needed in order to investigate how sustainable the new co-created realities and lifestyle changes are.

Year: 2019

description: The article discusses the practice of dialectical questions in coaching and the associated basic methodological approaches that can be applied during coaching psychology work. The investigation concentrates on a description of three basic elements: 1) how to collect knowledge through questions 2) the importance of viewing knowledge from different angles in collaboration with the coachee, 3) to encourage the coachee to create a plan for future actions. Through a case study, a number of considerations related to dialectical questions are illustrated.

A First Constraint on the Thick Disk Scale Length: Differential Radial Abundances in K Giants at Galactocentric Radii 4, 8, and 12 kpc

description: Based on high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE spectrograph on the Magellan telescopes we present detailed elemental abundances for 20 red giant stars in the outer Galactic disk, located at Galactocentric distances between 9 and 13 kpc. The outer disk sample is complemented with samples of red giants from the inner Galactic disk and the solar neighbourhood, analysed using identical methods. For Galactocentric distances beyond 10 kpc, we only find chemical patterns associated with the local thin disk, even for stars far above the Galactic plane. Our results show that the relative densities of the thick and thin disks are dramatically different from the solar neighbourhood, and we therefore suggest that the radial scale length of the thick disk is much shorter than that of the thin disk. We make a first estimate of the thick disk scale-length of L_thick=2.0 kpc, assuming L_thin=3.8 kpc for the thin disk. We suggest that radial migration may explain the lack of radial age, metallicity, and abundance gradients in the thick disk, possibly also explaining the link between the thick disk and the metal-poor bulge.

description: The approximated energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the spherical Woods-Saxon effective potential in $D$ dimensions are obtained within the new improved quantization rule for all $l$-states. The Pekeris approximation is used to deal with the centrifugal term in the effective Woods-Saxon potential. The inter-dimensional degeneracies for various orbital quantum number $l$ and dimensional space $D$ are studied. The solutions for the Hulthén potential, the three-dimensional (D=3), the $% s$-wave ($l=0$) and the cases are briefly discussed.

Year: 2019

description: The Harter Self-Perception Profiles are anchored to a clear and validated theoretical framework and one of the most widespread used instruments. The purpose of this research was to conduct reliability studies of the Self-Perception Profile. The research assessed the psychometric properties of the instrument on a Danish sample from Copenhagen collecting scores on self-concept measures through five years. The results showed that the Danish version of this instrument is appropriate for individual assessments and in studies of self-concept. The research provided evidence of validity and reliability for this population. Furthermore it is discussed how psychometric tools might be used in coaching contexts

description: Cu(I) nanoparticles (NPs) on modified poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) was prepared via a facile procedure. In this regard the modified co-polymer (SMA) was initially synthesized from the reaction of poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) with 3-aminopyridine. Upon the treatment of CuI with SMA, Cu(I) NPs were immobilized on SMA. This immobilized Cu(I) NPs was fully characterized by FTIR, SEM and EDAX analysis methods. Moreover, the interaction of Cu cations with 3-aminopyridine modified SMI catalyst via density functional theory (DFT) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) computationally was studied. Our calculated results demonstrated that among 2,3 and 4 substituted aminopyridines for the modification of SMA, the 3-amnopyridine has the weakest ligand and Cu(I) interaction. However, the SMI image showed a suitable size of nanoparticles and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis showed a higher Cu content in comparison with those of 2 and 4-substituted pyridines. The catalytic activity and reusability of this nanocatalyst system of 3-substituded aminopyridines was examined in the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition via click reaction. The reactions proceeded smoothly leading to regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstitued 1,2,4-triazole derivatives in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. This heterogeneous catalytic system was separated easily by simple filtration and was reused without pre-activation at least in five runs without appreciable loss in its activity.

Il y a  aussi une particularité à Nancy dans ce plan d’extension généreux très différent des petits plans moins ambitieux qu’on voit en France à l’époque. C’est très intéressant.
