description: The objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the environmental efficiency and farm commercialisation in selected EU NMS (Bulgaria, Romania and Poland). Using a cross- section of agricultural households, environmental technical efficiency scores are calculated using hyperbolic distance function approach. The results indicate there is a negative relation between the increase in commercialisation of small farms and the production of negative externalities, like nitrogen surplus.

description: We present SO and SO2 observations in the region of the low mass protostar IRAS2/NGC1333. The East-West outflow originating from this source has been mapped in four transitions of both SO and SO2. In addition, CS observations published in the literature have been used. We compute the SO, SO2 and CS column densities and the physical conditions at several positions of the outflow using LTE and a non-LTE LVG approximations. The SO2/SO and CS/SO abundance ratios are compared with the theoretical predictions of a chemical model adapted to the physical conditions in the IRAS2 outflow. The SO2/SO abundance ratios are constant in the two lobes of the outflow whereas CS/SO is up to 6 times lower in the shocked gas of the East lobe than in the West one. The comparison with the chemical model allows us to constrain the age of the outflow produced by IRAS2 to >5e3yr. We find low densities and temperatures for the outflow of IRAS2 (< 1e6 cm-3 and >70 K) from SO and SO2 emission probably because the two molecules trace the cooled entrained material. The East lobe of the outflow shows denser gas compared to the West lobe. We also discuss some constraints on the depleted form of sulphur.

description: A sufficiently detailed breakdown of the economic interrelationships could be achieved on the basis of best available historical regional datasets. Therefore, the tables developed and described in this report provide a valuable input for further analysis. The Blue Economy sectors, however, will receive more detailed analysis and treatment in the process of further research. The main remaining data gap are centered around fishing and aquaculture activities. For coastal and maritime tourism, first suggestions have been made in this report. For fishing and aquaculture activities, all identified datasets did actually only report aggregated figures. This is understandable as, also in most of the regions considered in our project, the overall economic relevance of aquaculture activities remained rather low until now. However, In order to provide the Commission with reliable information on the economic significance of aquaculture activities, it would certainly be useful to encourage appropriate adaptations of contemporarily applied European economic statistical classification patterns in the course of regular revision work. While it remains for future research activities to establish a detailed statistical mapping of the economic activities in the aquaculture sector, all of the other relevant sectors selected by us could be well identified on the basis of available statistical information. Apart from Malta and Cyprus,32 the absence of a European obligation to deliver regional trade statistics on a regular basis made it necessary for us to carry out a time-consuming analysis of further available regional trade data for all islands to be examined. Apart from Malta and Cyprus: The non-availability of regionalized trade data thus calls any attempt to infer regional IOTs into question. In the process of modelling the climate change impacts on the selected islands’ blue economy sectors, the data base developed here will be increasingly refined. Therefore, the work reported here can be thought of a snapshot, which illustrates the difficulties encountered and first results but not yet the full picture.

description: Los insectos comestibles forman parte de los hábitos tradicionales de alimentación de México y el mundo, su preparación y consumo ha permanecido prácticamente igual durante siglos, pero en la actualidad, se observan cambios radicales debido, entre otras cosas a que se piensa que lo que cuenta es la cosmética de los alimentos de una manera predominante por lo cual se ha dejado de lado, además, con estos recursos naturales silvestres se tiene la posibilidad de iniciar grandes negocios al ser clasificados según el punto de vista occidental como “Alimentos exóticos”. La modificación de la apariencia y a la vez la conservación del valor cultural y el reconocimiento de la territorialidad de un producto, son factores de peso que permitirán la subsistencia y posterior aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales de las regiones. Tal es el caso del Escamol (huevos de hormiga- Liometopum apiculatum), insecto endémico de las inmediaciones de la cuenca de México, con el cual se pretende establecer las bases de reproducción -no en cautiverio- de una especie con gran demanda en el mercado gastronómico y que al paso del tiempo impulsará el desarrollo local de las regiones donde se produzca.

subject: Quality Differentiation
subject: Viability
subject: Traditional Farming

description: Despite special quality of the olive oil of Trás-os-Montes (TM), producers fail to create niche market and raise price commensurate with the high cost. Some local manufacturers made some attempts to establish special brands for their oil and the association of the local producers (AOTAD) made the required efforts to bring the product of the region under PDO, designated as Azeite de Trás-os-Montes DOP. Only a small part of the marketed product is sold under PDO (4%) and a fraction of which is sold under some brand till date. The cost structure of olive oil depends on multiple factors - the type of production system (traditional or intensive), plant variety, inclination of plots and productivity, among others. The harvesting cost in general represents more than 50 percent of the total costs. The massive increase of production with the use of intensive farming at lower unit cost in other regions has pulled down the overall market price making traditional farms unviable. For the modern super intensive farm unit cost is only one fourth of that of traditional farm. The issue is not of protecting an unviable traditional system from the competition of an intensive system, but of the realisation of the true value of a product that the market mechanism fails to accomplish. This kind of problem of adverse selection due incomplete/ asymmetric information in the market is often interpreted in terms of the ‘lemon effect’ or ‘Gresham’s Law’. It states that in the case of buyer failing to discriminate between the products of different qualities at the time of purchase, the producers of higher quality products cannot charge a premium price. Under these circumstances, if the cost of high quality product exceeds that of low quality product, the producers of the former cannot sustain in the market. This is precisely what happens with the good quality high cost olive oil of TM against the competition of the low quality low cost olive oil of some other places. As an exotic high quality product its characteristics must be described in most visible and attractive forms and search its niche market globally.
The centrality dependence of transverse energy and charged particle multiplicity at RHIC: Statistical model analysis

description: The transverse energy and charged particle multiplicity at midrapidity and their ratio are evaluated in a statistical model with the longitudinal and transverse flows for different centrality bins at RHIC at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=130$ and 200 GeV. Full description of decays of hadron resonances is applied in these estimations. The predictions of the model at the freeze-out parameters, which were determined independently from measured particle yields and $p_{T}$ spectra, agree qualitatively well with the experimental data. The observed overestimation of the ratio can be explained for more central collisions by the redefinition of $dN_{ch}/dη|_{mid}$.

The conflict over animal experimentation in Vancouver, 1950-1990
Creators: name: McMillan, Robert Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Since before the opening of the University of British Columbia medical school in 1950, a group of Vancouver citizens has contested the use of laboratory animals by local scientists. The resulting debate has consistently centered around questions of the cruelty and scientific value of animal experimentation. Although antivivisectionists received little coverage in Vancouver's decidedly pro-vivisectionist mainstream press between 1950 and 1980, they nevertheless caused Vancouver researchers to employ a number of tactics to foster a positive image of their animal care practices during this period. By the early 1980s, Vancouver antivivisectionists had succeeded in disseminating highly graphic descriptions of animals undergoing experimentation via local community newspapers, and in using direct action tactics to link these images with specific Vancouver laboratories. In response, medical researchers heightened their longstanding efforts to conceal their experimental practices from public view. The limited public visibility of the animal lab and the commonly held belief in the necessity of animal use for medical progress both helped to limit opposition to animal experimentation between 1950 and 1990, despite an increasingly widespread acknowledgement of the cruelty of this set of practices.

description: We present a numerical study of the λϕ^{4} model in three Euclidean dimensions, where the two spatial coordinates are non-commutative (NC). We first show the explicit phase diagram of this model on a lattice. The ordered regime splits into a phase of uniform order and a ``striped phase''. Then we discuss the dispersion relation, which allows us to introduce a dimensionful lattice spacing. Thus we can study a double scaling limit to zero lattice spacing and infinite volume, which keeps the non-commutativity parameter constant. The dispersion relation in the disordered phase stabilizes in this limit, which represents a non-perturbative renormalization. From its shape we infer that the striped phase persists in the continuum, and we observe UV/IR mixing as a non-perturbative effect.

description: En el SIAL los saberes haceres son un factor preponderante en la construcción de una inteligencia territorial para la valorización de los recursos locales. En un entorno sociocultural donde se producen continuos enlaces entre sus partes componentes, la transferencia, difusión y uso particular de conocimiento es considerado de modo general junto al movimiento de bienes, capital y trabajo, elementos clave en el proceso contemporáneo de integración global asociándolo con las nociones de progreso y desarrollo. Sus mecanismos de transmisión y aprendizaje, pueden asegurar su continuidad y potenciar su crecimiento reforzando el anclaje de los productos territoriales. Como objeto de aplicación del conocimiento, se propone estudiar la especie silvestre Rosa Mosqueta variedad Rubiginosa, una de las especies de plantas exóticas que habitan la zona andino-patagónica, de la República Argentina. A partir de la problemática en torno al recurso y su aprovechamiento, la presente comunicación tiene por objetivo plantear sobre la base de la descripción de la cadena productiva, desde la recolección del fruto hasta la comercialización de sus productos alimentarios y no alimentarios, sus relaciones con otras actividades y productos en la canasta de bienes complejos territorializados. Se propone: (1) Analizar los factores que contribuyeron y contribuyen a su anclaje territorial.(2) Identificar y caracterizar los actores que participan en el SIAL, sus saberes, funcionamiento del sistema técnico e innovación, como condicionantes de su característica de producto típico, en el contexto territorial, histórico y de mercado actual, sus fortalezas y debilidades. (3) Analizar la organización de los actores locales (estrategias individuales y colectivas) en relación al recurso y su aprovechamiento (4) Realizar propuestas de revalorización del recurso y de sus productos desde un proceso activador colectivo y participativo multi e interdisciplinario, para la diferenciación y valorización hacia la promoción del desarrollo territorial.

description: In situ observations of small asteroids show that surfaces covered by boulders and coarse terrain are frequent on such bodies. Regolith grain sizes have distributions on approximately mm and cm scales, and the behavior of such large grains in the very low-gravity environments of small body surfaces dictates their morphology and evolution. In order to support the understanding of natural processes (e.g., the recapturing of impact ejecta) or spacecraft-induced interactions (e.g., the fate of a small lander), we aim to experimentally investigate the response of coarse-grained target surfaces to very-low-speed impacts (below 2 m/s). We present the outcome of 86 low-speed impacts of a cm-sized spherical projectile into a bed of simulated regolith, composed of irregular mm- and cm-sized grains. These impacts were performed under vacuum and microgravity conditions. Our results include measurements for the projectile coefficient of restitution and penetration depth, as well as ejecta production, speed, and mass estimation. We find that impact outcomes include the frequent occurrence of projectile bouncing and tangential rolling on the target surface upon impact. Ejecta is produced for impact speeds higher than about 12 cm/s, and ejecta speeds scale with the projectile to target the grain size ratio and the impact speed. Ejected mass estimations indicate that ejecta is increasingly difficult to produce for increasing grain sizes. Coefficients of restitution of rebounding projectiles do not display a dependency on the target grain size, unlike their maximum penetration depth, which can be scaled with the projectile to target grain size ratio. Finally, we compare our experimental measurements to spacecraft data and numerical work on Hayabusa 2's MASCOT landing on the surface of the asteroid Ryugu.

A white dwarf-neutron star relativistic binary model for soft gamma-ray repeaters

Year: 2004

description: A scenario for SGRs is introduced in which gravitational radiation reaction effects drive the dynamics of an ultrashort orbital period X-ray binary embracing a high-mass donor white dwarf (WD) to a rapidly rotating low magnetised massive neutron star (NS) surrounded by a thick, dense and massive accretion torus. Driven by GR reaction, sparsely, the binary separation reduces, the WD overflows its Roche lobe and the mass transfer drives unstable the accretion disk around the NS. As the binary circular orbital period is a multiple integer number ($m$) of the period of the WD fundamental mode (Pons et al. 2002), the WD is since long pulsating at its fundamental mode; and most of its harmonics, due to the tidal interaction with its NS orbital companion. Hence, when the powerful irradiation glows onto the WD; from the fireball ejected as part of the disk matter slumps onto the NS, it is partially absorbed. This huge energy excites other WD radial ($p$-mode) pulsations (Podsiadlowski 1991,1995). After each mass-transfer episode the binary separation (and orbital period) is augmented significantly (Deloye & Bildsten 2003; Alécyan & Morsink 2004) due to the binary's angular momentum redistribution. Thus a new adiabatic inspiral phase driven by GR reaction starts which brings the binary close again, and the process repeats. This model allows to explain most of SGRs observational features: their recurrent activity, energetics of giant superoutbursts and quiescent stages, and particularly the intriguing subpulses discovered by BeppoSAX (Feroci et al. 1999), which are suggested here to be {\it overtones} of the WD radial fundamental mode (see the accompanying paper: Mosquera Cuesta 2004b).

description: Le but de cette étude est de proposer des axes de recherche en vue de renforcer, dans une perspective de développement durable, la transformation locale et la commercialisation d’un produit traditionnel vietnamien typique : le vermicelle de tolomane. Dans la province de Hung Yen, la transformation de vermicelle de tolomane est une activité artisanale et participe au folklore local des villages. Cette province compte plus d’un million d’habitants sur une superficie de quelque 923000 ha dont 60% de superficie agricole. Chaque travailleur agricole y dispose en moyenne de 0,1ha mais, avec l’urbanisation, le développement d’importantes infrastructures routières et de zones industrielles, la surface agricole disponible est en constante diminution. La province dispose néanmoins de beaucoup de produits agricoles transformables, localisés dans différents villages : plantes médicinales à Van Lam, à Van Giang ; produits des arbres fruitiers à Khoai Chau, le vermicelle de tolomane à Khoai Chau, le riz perlé et vermicelle de tolomane à Yen My... Si la plupart des produits sont exportés après transformation au Laos ou en Chine, il n’en va pas de même pour le vermicelle de tolomane dont le marché demeure exclusivement local. Des tubercules de canna aux farines et des farines aux vermicelles, les procédés de transformation sont transmis de génération en génération. Aujourd’hui, pour s’adapter à l’évolution récente de la demande en vermicelle blanc plutôt que du traditionnel vermicelle doré, certains utilisent des produits chimiques (permanganate de potassium, sulfite de sodium, acide sulfurique) afin de blanchir le produit en fin de transformation. Les pratiques de transformation mises en oeuvre, associées au non traitement des déchets posent des problèmes en termes de sécurité sanitaire et d’environnement. Dans une perspective de développement durable, il s’agira de proposer des pistes innovantes qui puissent être mises en synergie avec les savoir-faire locaux tant pour améliorer la qualité du produit que pour assurer des négociations commerciales équitables pour chaque acteur de la filière.

description: Galactic winds are essential to regulation of star formation in galaxies. To study the distribution and dynamics of molecular gas in a wind, we imaged the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 1482 in CO ($J=1\rightarrow0$) at a resolution of 1'' ($\approx100$ pc) using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. Molecular gas is detected in a nearly edge-on disk with a radius of 3 kpc and a biconical outflow emerging from the central 1 kpc starburst and extending to at least 1.5 kpc perpendicular to the disk. In the outflow, CO gas is distributed approximately as a cylindrically symmetrical envelope surrounding the warm and hot ionized gas traced by H$α$ and soft X-rays. The velocity, mass outflow rate, and kinetic energy of the molecular outflow are $v_\mathrm{w}\sim100~\mathrm{km~s^{-1}}$, $\dot{M}_\mathrm{w}\sim7~M_\odot~\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$, and $E_\mathrm{w}\sim7\times10^{54}~\mathrm{erg}$, respectively. $\dot{M}_\mathrm{w}$ is comparable to the star formation rate ($\dot{M}_\mathrm{w}/\mathrm{SFR}\sim2$) and $E_\mathrm{w}$ is $\sim1\%$ of the total energy released by stellar feedback in the past $1\times10^7~\mathrm{yr}$, which is the dynamical timescale of the outflow. The results indicate that the wind is starburst driven.

description: Fluctuations in environmental factors as well as various unfavorable situations induce physiological adaptation by influencing the activity of primary metabolic reactions such as photosynthesis, which is a major physiological process that determines plant growth and productivity. The properties of photosynthetic apparatus may contribute to a great extent to plant habitat separation and to adaptation to environment factors governing mechanisms for effective light energy utilization. The physiological properties of chloroplast membrane such as permeability, selectivity, etc., varied in dependence of environment conditions, resulting in changes in the physical orientation of membrane lipids and functional activity of thylakoids. The response of the cell in such cases is a series of quantitative and qualitative alterations in the lipid composition in order to restore the initial orientation and the physical properties of the membrane. The aim of this study was to investigate the structural-functional peculiarities of chloroplast membranes influenced by the specific environmental conditions in different natural habitats of some halophytic and glycophytic Lactuca species.
Reinventing spaces/reoccuring places : a re-examination of Grand Boulevard at Boulevard Park, North Vancouver
Creators: name: Suen, Jennie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores the design issues of place making within the context of a growing city that has a confined/restricted urban boundary. The challenge is to re-utilize urban space (such as existing roads, lot lines and open areas) to design significant spaces for the community at large. These spaces need to meld together existing layout with new and often more densified programs. This multilayering is a cost effective way for the city to grow and provides a richer, more sustainable environment for its inhabitants. New programs, at the same time, need to recognize the old, historical, and sometime sentimental significance of a place that reverberates within the existing population. The goal is to revitalize the fabric of city-to create vibrant, livable spaces that recognize and enhance the social, historic, sustainable, and economic welfare of a growing city and its inhabitants. Grand Boulevard and Boulevard Park, North Vancouver, British Columbia is one such challenge. Site inventory and analysis provide a platform for evaluating interventions into the cityscape that can maintain the unique and historical infrastructure of Grand Boulevard. A theoretical review of place making, through the ideas of memory and space, defines a design methodology based upon flexible reiterative social spaces for public interaction. The analysis and methodology come together in the design proposal for Grand Boulevard and the adjacent Boulevard Park. The proposal maintains the physical structure of the boulevard and park, while increasing program uses through the incorporation of a community complex and two major promenades. One promenade corresponds to the historic greenway of the Green Necklace which, at this time, the City of North Vancouver is reworking into its city fabric. The other promenade links the civic node of City Hall and Library to the community node of the Grand Boulevard neighbourhood. This design thesis brings together the physical and program structure of Grand Boulevard into a cohesive whole that provides rich spaces that not only can be utilized by the nearby neighbourhood inhabitants but also by the growing population of the City of North Vancouver.

description: Recently the importance of a comprehensive policy evaluation has been increasingly recognized by international organizations, e.g. the World Bank, OECD and FAO as well as especially by the EU. In particular, for agricultural policies of the second pillar a comprehensive evaluation is obligatory. However, presently applied evaluation techniques are clearly lagging behind the ambiguous evaluation targets set by the EU Commission. Given the fact that a comprehensive policy evaluation is a very complex methodological challenge this discrepancy is not really surprising. Thus, nowadays it is still fair to conclude that adequate evaluation tools applicable to EU rural development policies do not exist yet. In this context this paper derives microeconometric evaluation techniques which have been developed within the EU research project ADVANCED-EVAL to evaluate RD policy programmes. In particular, the methodological shortcomings of simple evaluation techniques currently applied to evaluate EU RD policy programmes are demonstrated via a comparison of empirical evaluation results of SAPARD policies in Slovakia derived from these simple EU techniques with evaluation results derived from advanced microeconometric methods, i.e. propensity score matching.

description: Hamilton's equations with noise and friction possess a hidden supersymmetry, valid for time-independent as well as periodically time-dependent systems. It is used to derive topological properties of critical points and periodic trajectories in an elementary way. From a more practical point of view, the formalism provides new tools to study the reaction paths in systems with separated time scales. A 'reduced current' which contains the relevant part of the phase space probability current is introduced, together with strategies for its computation.

description: The present study was aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity and pattern of variation throughout the ranges of polymorphic aggregate group C. biflorus in Bulgaria. For this purpose, samples from five Crocus L. species collected from 15 natural populations were assessed using ISSR molecular markers. Cluster dendrogram was created using the Wars’s method (PAST 4.03), then combined into a consensus tree using Consense (PHYLIP 3.69). Our results showed significant levels of genetic variation of the C. biflorus group corresponding with morphological diversity. Dendrogram showed that the samples of C. adamioides were in the group of C. biflorus but cannot be grouped with C. biflorus subsp. adamii. The previous analysis based on ITS sequences confirms that the population belongs to C. adamioides. The obtained data confirmed that C. chrysanthus was a separate taxon. The results also verified the genetic divergence of the C. cf. biflorus. The ISSR analysis showed the need for additional DNA-based methods for taxonomic revisions of the genus Crocus L.

description: We investigate the vibrational properties of VO2, particularly the low temperature M1 phase by first-principles calculations using the density functional theory as well as Raman spectroscopy. We perform the structural optimization using SCAN meta-GGA functional and obtain the optimized crystal structures for metallic rutile and insulating M1 phases satisfying all expected features of the experimentally derived structures. Based on the harmonic approximation around the optimized structures at zero temperature, we calculate the phonon properties and compare our results with experiments. We show that our calculated phonon density of states is in excellent agreement with the previous neutron scattering experiment. Moreover, we reproduce the phonon softening in the rutile phase as well as the phonon stiffening in the M1 phase. By comparing with the Raman experiments, we find that the Raman-active vibration modes of the M1 phase is strongly correlated with the V-V dimer distance of the crystal structure. Our combined theoretical and experimental framework demonstrates that Raman spectroscopy could serve as a reliable way to detect the subtle change of V-V dimer in the strained VO$_2$.

Li-Meng Yan in the spotlights with embarrassing questions to some world-renowned scientists and to expert virologists of the Pasteur Institute

description: Summary for the hurried reader : in this part 3 of chapter 8, we have deepened the initial work of Li-Meng Yan to demonstrate that she is indisputably right on two crucial issues that demonstrate the artificiality of SARS-Cov2. Firstly, we show that the three viruses : SARS-Cov2 (human), RaTG13 (bat) and Pan-Cov-GD (Pangolin-Cov-2020), supposedly from pangolin, share both the EcoRI and BsTEII restriction enzyme sites flanking the receptor binding motif (RBM) of their spike (S) protein. We show that at the end of 2019, the statistics on SARS-Like coronaviruses deposited in Genbank allowed for calculating the odds that this happens simultaneously, in 3 a priori unrelated natural viruses, as 1 chance in 5 billions. Thus, SARS-Cov2 and Pan-Cov-GD are directly related to RaTG13, a virus kept since 2013 at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Secondly, comparing the S protein ratio of synonymous versus non-synonymous mutations between the RaTG13/SARS-Cov2 supposed bat-to-human species crossing pair with the natural RsSHC014/SARS-Cov and Rs3367/SARS-Cov bat-to-human pairs, we demonstrate further the non-natural relationship between SARS-Cov2 and its closest parent RaTG13, pointing to a laboratory manipulation.

description: We present the broad-band UV through mid-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a sample of 72 spectroscopically-confirmed star-forming galaxies at z=2.30+/-0.3. Located in a 72 arcmin-squared field centered on the bright background QSO, HS1700+643, these galaxies were pre-selected to lie at z~2 based solely on their rest-frame UV colors and luminosities, and should be representative of UV-selected samples at high redshift. In addition to deep ground-based photometry spanning from 0.35-2.15 microns, we make use of Spitzer/IRAC data, which probes the rest-frame near-IR at z~2. The range of stellar populations present in the sample is investigated with simple, single-component stellar population synthesis models. Emphasizing stellar mass estimates, which are less subject to systematic uncertainties than other parameters, we find =10.32+/-0.51 for the sample. Allowing for the possibility of episodic star formation, we find that typical galaxies in our sample could contain up to three times more stellar mass in an old underlying burst than what was inferred from single-component modeling. In contrast, mass estimates for the most massive galaxies in the sample (M*>10^11 Msun) are fairly insensitive to the method used to model the stellar population. Galaxies in this massive tail, which are also the oldest objects in the sample, could plausibly evolve into the passive galaxies discovered at z~1.7 with near-IR selection techniques. In the general framework of hierarchical galaxy formation and mergers, which implies episodic star-formation histories, galaxies at high redshift may pass in and out of UV-selected and near-IR color-selected samples as they evolve from phases of active star formation to quiescence and back again (Abridged).

Running coupling constant and masses in QCD, the meson spectrum

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In line with some previous works, we study in this paper the meson spectrum in the framework of a second order quark-antiquark Bethe-Salpeter formalism which includes confinement. An analytic one loop running coupling constant alpha_s(Q), as proposed by Shirkov and Sovlovtsov, is used in the calculations. As for the quark masses, the case of a purely phenomenological running mass for the light quarks in terms of the c. m. momentum is further investigated. Alternatively a more fundamental expression m_P(Q) is introduced for light and strange quarks, combining renormalization group and analyticity requirements with an approximate solution of the Dyson-Schwinger equation. The use of such running coupling constant and masses turns out to be essential for a correct reproduction of the the light pseudoscalar mesons.

Resolving the large scale spectral variability of the luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H 0419-577: Evidence for a new emission component and absorption by cold dense matter

description: An XMM-Newton observation of the luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H 0419-577 in September 2002, when the source was in an extreme low-flux state, found a very hard X-ray spectrum at 1-10 keV with a strong soft excess below ~1 keV. Comparison with an earlier XMM-Newton observation when 1H 0419-577 was `X-ray bright' indicated the dominant spectral variability was due to a steep power law or cool Comptonised thermal emission. Four further XMM-Newton observations, with 1H 0419-577 in intermediate flux states, now support that conclusion, while we also find the variable emission component in intermediate state difference spectra to be strongly modified by absorption in low ionisation matter. The variable `soft excess' then appears to be an artefact of absorption of the underlying continuum while the `core' soft emission can be attributed to recombination in an extended region of more highly ionised gas. We note the wider implications of finding substantial cold dense matter overlying (or embedded in) the X-ray continuum source in a luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy.
