Splitting the Dirac equation: the case of longitudinal potentials
Creators: name: Okninski, Andrzej
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently, we have demonstrated that some subsolutions of the free Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau and the Dirac equations obey the same Dirac equation with some built-in projection operators. In the present paper we study the Dirac equation in the interacting case. It is demonstrated that the Dirac equation in longitudinal external fields can be also splitted into two covariant subequations.

Radicalization and Extremism
Creators: name: Au-Yong-Oliveira, Manuel
Publisher: name: ICIEMC Proceedings
Year: 2025

description: This article is focused on course 8 of the VirtuEU internationally funded Erasmus project. The topic is radicalization (and extremism). One has to understand where radicalization comes from to then be able to prevent it. When feeling distrust in national governments and when feeling excluded from decision-making processes (marginalized) violent and extremist groups may appear. Deradicalization is an objective, especially of youths in higher education. The process will hence involve educating for critical thinking, for deradicalization to occur. Certain political groups are gaining traction by appealing to woes felt by discontent groups in the EU democratic system. Increasing crime rates in Europe are being attributed to increasing migration levels in the EU and populist politicians are taking advantage of this to gain votes. Climate change, the energy crisis, and wars further undermine social stability in free democratic countries. VOSviewer analyses are performed in this article to increase awareness of certain keywords in the Scopus database literature. Radicalization AND “European Union”; and Deradicalization AND process; were the basis of two Scopus searches and subsequent bibliometric analyses undertaken. Exercises are also given herein for VirtuEU (or other) students to do and hence reflect on their daily lives and realities.

Towards specific inactivators of Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase
Creators: name: Yao, Yuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) trans-sialidase is thought to be an essential enzyme for infection by T. cruzi since sialic acid is needed for its nutrition and pathogenesis yet T. cruzi cannot biosynthesize sialic acid. The overall goal of this project is to identify a tight binding and specific inactivator of the T. cruzi trans-sialidase (TcTS). A library of mechanism-based inactivators of TcTS was synthesized based upon the known inactivator 9-azido-3-fluorosialyl fluoride (parent inactivator) by click chemistry with a series of alkynes in yields of 40-81%. Kinetic parameters for the clicked inactivators and its parent were determined using 5-acetamido-3,5-dideoxy-2-(4-trifluoromethylumbelliferyl)-D-glycero-α-D-galacto-non-2-ulopyranosonic acid as substrate. Inactivation parameters for the clicked inactivators were generally inferior to those of parent compound 9-azido-3-fluorosialyl fluoride. The substrate binding pocket of TcTS prefers non-polar moieties near the 9-position, especially aliphatic rings. It was also found that TcTS can tolerate negative charges better than positive charges at this position. These results suggest that improved reagents might incorporate moieties attached to C-9 through an amide or an ether linker rather than through a triazole.

description: Using the spherical geometry, we introduce a novel model to study excitons confined in a three-dimensional space, which offers unparalleled mathematical simplicity while retaining much of the key physics. This new model consists of an exciton trapped on the 3-sphere (i.e. the surface of a four-dimensional ball), and provides a unified treatment of Frenkel and Wannier-Mott excitons. Moreover, we show that one can determine, for particular values of the dielectric constant $ε$, the closed-form expression of the exact wave function. We use the exact wave function of the lowest bound state for $ε=2$ to introduce an intermediate regime which gives satisfactory agreement with \alert{the} exact results for a wide range of $ε$ values.

description: We use a generalized master equation (GME) formalism to describe the non-equilibrium time-dependent transport of Coulomb interacting electrons through a short quantum wire connected to semi-infinite biased leads. The contact strength between the leads and the wire is modulated by out-of-phase time-dependent potentials which simulate a turnstile device. We explore this setup by keeping the contact with one lead at a fixed location at one end of the wire whereas the contact with the other lead is placed on various sites along the length of the wire. We study the propagation of sinusoidal and rectangular pulses. We find that the current profiles in both leads depend not only on the shape of the pulses, but also on the position of the second contact. The current reflects standing waves created by the contact potentials, like in a wind musical instrument (for example a flute), but occurring on the background of the equilibrium charge distribution. The number of electrons in our quantum "flute" device varies between two and three. We find that for rectangular pulses the currents in the leads may flow against the bias for short time intervals, due to the higher harmonics of the charge response. The GME is solved numerically in small time steps without resorting to the traditional Markov and rotating wave approximations. The Coulomb interaction between the electrons in the sample is included via the exact diagonalization method. The system (leads plus sample wire) is described by a lattice model.

description: Boolean networks serve as discrete models of regulation and signaling in biological cells. Identifying the key controllers of such processes is important for understanding the dynamical systems and planning further analysis. Here we quantify the dynamical impact of a node as the probability of damage spreading after switching the node's state. We find that the leading eigenvector of the adjacency matrix is a good predictor of dynamical impact in the case of long-term spreading. This so-called eigenvector centrality is also a good proxy measure of the influence a node's initial state has on the attractor the system eventually arrives at. Quality of prediction is further improved when eigenvector centrality is based on the weighted matrix of activities rather than the unweighted adjacency matrix. Simulations are performed with ensembles of random Boolean networks and a Boolean model of signaling in fibroblasts. The findings are supported by analytic arguments from a linear approximation of damage spreading.

description: A number of representation schemes have been presented for use within learning classifier systems, ranging from binary encodings to neural networks. This paper presents results from an investigation into using discrete and fuzzy dynamical system representations within the XCSF learning classifier system. In particular, asynchronous random Boolean networks are used to represent the traditional condition-action production system rules in the discrete case and asynchronous fuzzy logic networks in the continuous-valued case. It is shown possible to use self-adaptive, open-ended evolution to design an ensemble of such dynamical systems within XCSF to solve a number of well-known test problems.

description: We investigate galactic-scale outflowing winds in 72 star-forming galaxies at z~1 in the Extended Groth Strip. Galaxies were selected from the DEEP2 survey and follow-up LRIS spectroscopy was obtained covering SiII, CIV, FeII, MgII, and MgI lines in the rest-frame ultraviolet. Using GALEX, HST, and Spitzer imaging, we examine galaxies on a per-object basis in order to understand both the prevalence of galactic winds at z~1 and the star-forming and structural properties of objects experiencing outflows. Gas velocities, measured from the centroids of FeII interstellar absorption lines, span the interval [-217, +155] km/s. We find that ~40% (10%) of the sample exhibits blueshifted FeII lines at the 1-sigma (3-sigma) level. We also measure maximal outflow velocities using the profiles of the FeII and MgII lines, and show that MgII frequently traces higher velocity gas than FeII. Quantitative morphological parameters derived from the HST imaging suggest that mergers are not a prerequisite for driving outflows. More face-on galaxies also show stronger winds than highly-inclined systems, consistent with the canonical picture of winds emanating perpendicular to galactic disks. Using star-formation rates calculated from GALEX data, and areas estimated from HST imaging, we detect a ~3-sigma correlation between outflow velocity and star-formation rate surface density, but only a weak (~1-sigma) trend between outflow velocity and star-formation rate. Higher resolution data are needed in order to test the scaling relations between outflow velocity and both star-formation rate and star-formation rate surface density predicted by theory.

description: In the search for a quantum theory of gravity it is crucial to find experimental access to quantum gravitational effects. Since these are expected to be very small at observationally accessible scales it is advantageous to consider processes with no tree-level contribution in the Standard Model, such as photon-photon scattering. We examine the implications of asymptotically safe quantum gravity in a setting with extra dimensions for this case, and point out that various near-future photon-collider setups, employing either electron or muon colliders, or even a purely laser-based setup, could provide a first observational window into the quantum gravity regime.

description: The Sun was an order of magnitude more luminous during the first few hundred thousand years of its existence, due in part to the gravitational energy released by material accreting from the Solar nebula. If Jupiter was already near its present mass, the planet's tides opened an optically-thin gap in the nebula. We show using Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations that sunlight absorbed by the nebula and re-radiated into the gap raised temperatures well above the sublimation threshold for water ice, with potentially drastic consequences for the icy bodies in Jupiter's feeding zone. Bodies up to a meter in size were vaporized within a single orbit if the planet was near its present location during this early epoch. Dust particles lost their ice mantles, and planetesimals were partially to fully devolatilized, depending on their size. Scenarios in which Jupiter formed promptly, such as those involving a gravitational instability of the massive early nebula, must cope with the high temperatures. Enriching Jupiter in the noble gases through delivery trapped in clathrate hydrates will be more difficult, but might be achieved by either forming the planet much further from the star, or capturing planetesimals at later epochs. The hot gap resulting from an early origin for Jupiter also would affect the surface compositions of any primordial Trojan asteroids.

description: Provided that a cohomological model for $G$ is known, we describe a method for constructing a basis for $n$-cocycles over $G$, from which the whole set of $n$-dimensional $n$-cocyclic matrices over $G$ may be straightforwardly calculated. Focusing in the case $n=2$ (which is of special interest, e.g. for looking for cocyclic Hadamard matrices), this method provides a basis for 2-cocycles in such a way that representative $2$-cocycles are calculated all at once, so that there is no need to distinguish between inflation and transgression 2-cocycles (as it has traditionally been the case until now). When $n>2$, this method provides an uniform way of looking for higher dimensional $n$-cocyclic Hadamard matrices for the first time. We illustrate the method with some examples, for $n=2,3$. In particular, we give some examples of improper 3-dimensional $3$-cocyclic Hadamard matrices.

Sowohl hinsichtlich der Implementationsstrategie (top-down vs. bottom-up) als auch im Hinblick auf das Fördermaterial (einfach vs. komplex) unterschieden sich die beiden Fördermaßnahmen deutlich voneinander. Zur Evaluation der Implementation kamen Lehrkräftebefragungen und Kompetenztestungen von Schüler*innen zum Einsatz. Zwei Stichproben von 100 bzw. 98 Lehrkräften wurden zu Begleitfaktoren der Leseförderung (Einstellungen, Selbstwirksamkeit, Wissen, Akzeptanz) und gewünschten Effekten (Wiedergabetreue, Nutzung) befragt. Im Rahmen einer Längsschnittuntersuchung an einer Stichprobe von N= 1054 Schüler*innen wurden Entwicklungen wesentlicher Facetten der Lesekompetenz (Leseverständnis, Leseflüssigkeit, Lesestrategien, Lesemotivation) betrachtet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen zunächst, dass eine breite Nutzung und positive Effekte in den beteiligten Verbünden nicht in dem gewünschten Maße resultieren. Dabei liegen zwischen den beiden Verbünden – trotz der unterschiedlichen Fördermaßnahmen – nur marginale Unterschiede vor. Analysen der Interkorrelationsmuster zu den Implementationsmerkmalen weisen darauf hin, dass eine erfolgreiche Implementation letztlich von einer hohen Passung zwischen Merkmalen auf Seiten der Maßnahme, der Lehrkraft und der schulischen Rahmenbedingungen abhängt. Implikationen für Forschung und Praxis werden abgeleitet.

Antibody-dependent infection enhancement, requirement of a single compound covering its all 4 serotypes, makes it difficult to produce a vaccine on prevention. Thus apart from preventing the disease with vector control, continuous studies are required for novel techniques to reduce the outcomes and complications of dengue fever and to prevent converting of DF to DHF.
 Objectives: To design a single centered, retrospective cohort study to evaluate the effect of papaya leaves (Carica papaya) to thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and lymphocytosis caused by dengue fever with respective to the recent Malaysian study on improving the thrombocytopenia of a DF patient within 40-48 hours upon administration of papaya.
 Method: A 16 year old NS1 positive, in-ward treating boy (n=1) has been orally administered with concentrated papaya leaf extract 5ml twice a day on day 6 of fever as a naturopathic supplement without any allopathic medical advice. The in-ward monitored components of his FBC were graphed against the time retrospectively.
 Results: It is noted that the gradient of the inversed curve of platelet count over time has decreased within 3 hours from the initial administration and by 48 hours the platelet count was increasing, reversing the inversion. The total WBC count also has started increasing and the developing neutropenia and lymphocytosis were improved by 48 hours upon administration. Also the patient did not develop DHF and recovered uneventfully without any ICU admissions.
 Conclusions: The improvement of the condition within above time frame could be due to various factors including natural host response with or without the foresaid supplement. But the above context depicts the capability of further research in deploying Carica papaya leaf extracts as a novel treatment on Dengue fever patients without causing any negative medical impact.

description: Lesestrategien sind bedeutsam, wenn Textaufgaben zu bearbeiten sind und die in der Aufgabe dargestellte Situation verstanden werden muss. Die Studie betrachtet die Vermittlung von Lesestrategien im Mathematikunterricht aus Sicht von Lehrkräften sowie Lernenden und untersucht, in welcher Relation die Sichtweisen stehen. Im Fokus stehen beide Perspektiven, um basierend auf vorliegenden Konvergenzen Aufschluss über Unterrichtsroutinen zu erhalten und angesichts zunehmender Heterogenität differenzielle Wahrnehmungen in der Gruppe der Lernenden zu ermitteln. 60 Lehrpersonen und 261 Lernende wurden zur Vermittlung von (meta-)kognitiven Lesestrategiearten, der Instruktionsweise bei der Strategievermittlung sowie zur Relevanz von Lesestrategien im Unterricht befragt. Während zwischen beiden Perspektiven Konvergenzen in der Wahrnehmung der Vermittlung kognitiver Lesestrategien sowie der Relevanz der Thematik bestehen, unterscheiden sie sich bezüglich der Vermittlung metakognitiver Lesestrategien sowie der Instruktionsweise. Zudem zeigt eine profilspezifische Betrachtung der Wahrnehmungen innerhalb der Lernenden, dass sie die Vermittlung von Lesestrategien im Mathematikunterricht in Abhängigkeit des Leseverständnisses differenziell einschätzen: Lernende mit schlechteren Leseverständniswerten nehmen die Vermittlung von Lesestrategien im Unterricht in höherem Maße wahr als die Lernenden mit besseren Leseverständniswerten.

description: Extra-dimensional scenarios have become widespread among particle and gravitational theories of physics to address several outstanding problems, including cosmic acceleration, the weak hierarchy problem, and the quantization of gravity. In general, the topology and geometry of the full spacetime manifold will be non-trivial, even if our ordinary dimensions have the topology of their covering space. Most compact manifolds are inhomogeneous, even if they admit a homogeneous geometry, and it will be physically relevant where in the extra-dimensions one is located. In this letter, we explore the use of both local and global effects in a braneworld scenario to naturally provide position-dependent forces that determine and stabilize the location of a single brane. For illustrative purposes, we consider the 2-dimensional hyperbolic horn and the Euclidean cone as toy models of the extra-dimensional manifold, and add a brane wrapped around one of the two spatial dimensions. We calculate the total energy due to brane tension and bending (extrinsic curvature) as well as that due to the Casimir energy of a bulk scalar satisfying a Dirchlet boundary condition on the brane. From the competition of at least two of these effects there can exist a stable minimum of the effective potential for the brane location. However, on more generic spaces (on which more symmetries are broken) any one of these effects may be sufficient to stabilize the brane. We discuss this as an example of physics that is neither local nor global, but regional.

description: Accreting Millisecond X-Ray Pulsars (AMXPs) are astrophysical laboratories without parallel in the study of extreme physics. In this chapter we review the past fifteen years of discoveries in the field. We summarize the observations of the fifteen known AMXPs, with a particular emphasis on the multi-wavelength observations that have been carried out since the discovery of the first AMXP in 1998. We review accretion torque theory, the pulse formation process, and how AMXP observations have changed our view on the interaction of plasma and magnetic fields in strong gravity. We also explain how the AMXPs have deepened our understanding of the thermonuclear burst process, in particular the phenomenon of burst oscillations. We conclude with a discussion of the open problems that remain to be addressed in the future.

description: We investigate the utility of the Tunable Filters (TFs) for obtaining flux calibrated emission line maps of extended objects such as galactic nebulae and nearby galaxies, using the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4-m GTC. Despite a relatively large field of view of OSIRIS (8'x8'), the change in the wavelength across the field (~80 Ang) and the long-tail of Tunable Filter (TF) spectral response function, are hindrances for obtaining accurate flux calibrated emission-line maps of extended sources. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that emission-line maps useful for diagnostics of nebula can be generated over the entire field of view of OSIRIS, if we make use of theoretically well-understood characteristics of TFs. We have successfully generated the flux-calibrated images of the nearby, large late-type spiral galaxy M101 in the emission lines of Halpha, [NII]6583, [SII]6716 and [SII]6731. We find that the present uncertainty in setting the central wavelength of TFs (~1 Ang), is the biggest source of error in the emission-line fluxes. By comparing the Halpha fluxes of HII regions in our images with the fluxes derived from Halpha images obtained using narrow-band filters, we estimate an error of ~11% in our fluxes. The flux calibration of the images was carried out by fitting the SDSS griz magnitudes of in-frame stars with the stellar spectra from the SDSS spectral database. This method resulted in an accuracy of 3% in flux calibration of any narrow-band image, which is as good as, if not better, to that is feasible using the observations of spectrophotometric standard stars. Thus time-consuming calibration images need not be taken. A user-friendly script under the IRAF environment was developed and is available on request.

All my relations : maintaining cultural connection for Aboriginal children in care
Creators: name: Nelson, Debra Sue
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: As a response to the persistent overrepresentation of Aboriginal children in out-of-home care, efforts are being made across Canada to develop models of child welfare practice that are consistent with Aboriginal cultural beliefs and practices, and which provide opportunities for ongoing cultural connection for children who have been separated from their families and/or communities. Although cultural continuity is associated with improved health and social outcomes, a majority of Aboriginal youth who are in the permanent care of government live in non-Aboriginal homes. Many of these young people live in in urban areas far away from their traditional territory, often with limited opportunity for connection to family or ancestral community. Efforts to provide culturally appropriate services, and to preserve and/or promote the cultural identity of Aboriginal children in care, can be a complex task in urban areas serving a diverse Aboriginal diaspora. This qualitative study examines how social workers at an urban, delegated, Aboriginal child welfare agency think about, negotiate, and implement agency policies and legislative mandates requiring that workers establish and preserve cultural connections for Aboriginal children and youth. Data was collected on the demographic and health characteristics of children and youth served by the Guardianship office at the agency, and in-depth interviews were conducted with fourteen Guardianship social workers. The analysis of the interviews illustrates social worker strategies for fostering cultural continuity, impediments to these efforts, and concrete programming suggestions. Although the ways in which workers understood and defined culture varied, a consistent theme was the complexity of efforts to balance children's inherent right to cultural connection with other developmental needs. Workers identified a lack of supportive family resources in general, and in Aboriginal communities in particular, as impediments to maintaining meaningful connections between children in out-of-home care and their families and communities. Recommendations from this study include: 1) Improvements in the recruitment, training and support of culturally competent caregivers; 2) Cultural programming developed for very young children; 3) Culturally appropriate services and programming that meets the needs of children and youth with Foetal Alcohol Effects and related disorders.
