Supraspinal involvement in acupuncture analgesia
Creators: name: Yee, K.C.

description: Electroacupuncture (EA) on Zusanli (st. 36) and Shangjuxu (st. 38) (10 Hz, 1.0 ms) was found to produce a long-lasting inhibition of wide dynamic range neurones in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and to prolong the latency of the tail-flick reflex in the lightly anaesthetized rat. This inhibition was effectively produced at a stimulation intensity which excited only A13 fibres. The effects of EA were eliminated by cold-blocking the spinal cord rostral to the recording site suggesting a supraspinal involvement in the EA-induced inhibition of spinal cord nociceptive transmission. EA also facilitated the discharge of non-clock-like dorsal raphe neurones (NCL). Bilateral lesions of the ventrolateral tract (VLT), but not the dorsolateral funiculi (DLF), blocked this effect suggesting that the ascending arm of the loop is via the VLT. The descending arm is located in the DLF since bilateral lesions of the DLF blocked the effects of EA in the spinal cord. Evidence in the literature suggests that the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) may be involved in the above supraspinal loop as well as in an ascending inhibitory pathway to the nucleus parafascicularis (NPF). Examination of the DRN revealed three types of neurones: clock-like (CL), NCL and non-clock-like non-responding neurones (NCLN). The NCL neurones were excited by noxious and non-noxious natural peripheral stimuli as well as EA. The other neurones were non-responsive to these stimuli. NCL neurones of the DRN were also antidromically activated by 11 NPF stimulation indicating that the projection from the DRN to the NPF is direct. Stimulation of the DRN produced an inhibition of NPF neurones with sudden onset and offset and a duration correlated with the length of stimulation. EA also produced long-lasting inhibition of these cells. The inhibitory pathway from the DRN to the NPF, which is activated by EA and presumably mediated by NCL neurones, would appear to be serotonergic. The evidence for this is that the inhibition evoked by DRN stimulation or EA is enhanced by alaproclate, a 5-FIT uptake blocker, and blocked by 5,7-DHT, a 5-HT neurotoxic agent, or cyproheptadine, a serotonin antagonist.

description: Societal restrictions impact transgender individuals' ability to engage in occupations that match their internal gender identity preventing gender affirmation. The aim was to explore transgender individuals' perceived levels of gender congruence and life satisfaction. A cross-sectional survey with a nonprobability sample of transgender adults was used to provide a preliminary exploration of transgender individuals' gender congruence and life satisfaction using the Gender Congruence and Life Satisfaction and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF. When comparing the means of the physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains to the population norm, the respondents demonstrated statistically lower scores in all four domains of the WHOQOL-BREF. In both the WHOQOL-BREF and GCLS, the mean score in psychological health and life satisfaction were the lowest. Transgender individuals prioritize self-care activities, such as hairstyling, and body image to affirm internal gender identity. Occupational therapy can assist with supporting gender transition in several occupational contexts.

description: We present an example of a realistic Higgsless model that makes use of alternative $SU(2)_R$ assignments for the top and bottom quarks recently proposed by Agashe et al. which results in an enhanced custodial symmetry. Using these new representat ions reduces the deviations in the $Zb_\ell\bar{b}_\ell$ coupling to $\sim 4%$ for a wide range of parameters, while this remaining correction can also be eliminated by varying the localization parameter (bulk mass) for $b_r$.

description: A growing body of research has attended to the experiences of transgender and gender non-conforming (TGN) youth's gender identity development. However, practical and ethical concerns have impeded our ability to understand the experiences of TGN youth. Thus, the aim of this study was to utilize one-on-one semi-structured interviews to explore White American TGN adults' (N = 15) retrospective accounts of their gender identity development in childhood and adolescence. Findings demonstrate considerable heterogeneity in TGN adults' retrospective accounts of their gender identity development. However, TGN adults consistently highlighted the role of social (e.g. friends, family and teachers) and contextual (e.g. online, offline, educational and geographical) factors in their gender identity journeys. This study provides new insight into the role of social and contextual factors in TGN adults' retrospective accounts of their gender identity development, demonstrating the importance of continuing to examine these factors in gender diversity research.

description: In the present Master thesis we studied the effect of the BrØnsted and Lewis acid sites of various heterogenous catalytic materials, in the regioselective synthesis of 2-nitro and 2-alkoxy-3-aryl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. We conducted a thorough study and investigation of the acid sites that are present in different zeolites, zirconium dioxides and γ-Al2O3 and their direct effect in the synthesis reaction of 2-nitro-3-aryl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines starting with 2-aminopyridines 10 and functionalized β-nitrostyrenes 14. At the same time we specified the optimal conditions for the said reaction. The materials that showed the best catalytic behavior were the ones that had exclusively Lewis acid sites and the ones that had both BrØnsted and Lewis acid sites at an almost 1:1 analogy, such as γ-Al2O3 and zeolites H-USY(6) και H-BETA(12,5).A library of 2-nitro-3-aryl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines was successfully created via a reaction between 2-aminopyridines 10 and β-nitrostyrenes 14 with γ-Al2O3. We successfully synthesized 2-alkoxy-3-aryl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines from 2-nitro-3-aryl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines via a nucleophillic substitution reaction of the nitro-group by the alkoxy-group that was catalysed by γ-Al2O3

description: OBJECTIVE: To describe the lifetime prevalence of workplace harassment, physical violence and sexual assault against transgender and non-binary workers targeted due to their gender identity and to identify correlates of this workplace violence.
METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study used data from 4597 transgender or non-binary respondents from the 2008-2009 National Transgender Discrimination Survey. Respondents reported if they had ever experienced harassment, physical violence or sexual assault at work specifically because of their gender identity. We estimated the prevalence of each type of violence stratified by gender identity, race/ethnicity, age, educational attainment, history of working in the street economy (eg, sex industry, drug sales) and if people at work knew their gender identity.
RESULTS: Workplace violence was prevalent, with 50% of transgender and non-binary workers having ever experienced harassment, 7% physical violence and 6% sexual assault at work because of their gender identity. Harassment was common among all of these workers, but physical violence and sexual assault were more than twice as common among transfeminine and non-binary workers assigned male at birth, workers of colour, workers with low educational attainment and those who had ever worked in the street economy.
CONCLUSIONS: Transgender and non-binary workers commonly face violence at work because of their gender identity. Workplace violence prevention programmes should incorporate ways to prevent gender identity-based violence and facilitate channels for workers to report the occurrence of discrimination and violence.

description: Dynamic color modulation in the composite structure of graphene microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)- photonic crystal microcavity is investigated in this work. The designed photonic crystal microcavity has three resonant standing wave modes corresponding to the three primary colors of red (R), green (G) and blue (B), forming strong localization of light in three modes at different positions of the microcavity. Once graphene is added, it can govern the transmittance of three modes. When graphene is located in the abdomen of the standing wave, which has strong light absorption and therefore the structure's transmittance is lower, or when graphene is located in the node of the standing wave, it has weak light absorption and therefore the structure's transmittance is higher. Therefore, the graphene absorption of different colors of light can be regulated dynamically by applying voltages to tune the equilibrium position of the graphene MEMS in the microcavity, consequently realizing the output of vivid monochromatic light or multiple mixed colors of light within a single pixel, thus greatly improving the resolution. Our work provides a route to dynamic color modulation with graphene and provides guidance for the design and manufacture of ultrahigh resolution, ultrafast modulation and wide color gamut interferometric modulator displays.
From Invisibility to Inclusion: A Call to Action to Address COPD Disparities in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer+ Community.

description: COPD is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality both in the United States and worldwide. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer + (LGBTQ+) individuals (the plus sign indicates inclusion of people who are questioning, intersex, asexual, or who hold other gender/sex/romantic identities not specifically identified) have a higher rate of tobacco smoking, predisposing them to an increased risk of developing COPD. Despite this risk, the burden of COPD in LGBTQ+ individuals is not known. Moreover, there is limited focus on efforts to identify and reduce disease risk in this population. In this perspective, we present the results of a focused literature review of COPD in LGBTQ+ populations. We found only 8 studies that reported the prevalence of COPD in different subgroups of the LGBTQ+ population. All studies found an increased prevalence of COPD in the studied LGBTQ+ sub-groups compared to their heterosexual and/or cisgender counterparts. We propose a 3-pronged call to action to improve the care of LGBTQ+ people with COPD. First, we must improve awareness and education about COPD in the LGBTQ+ community through the effective development and dissemination of educational resources to LGBTQ+ people and their health care providers. Second, we call for prevention and intervention efforts through targeted tobacco cessation initiatives and case-finding via screening spirometry among symptomatic LGBTQ+ smokers. Finally, well-designed cohort studies are required to better characterize the COPD burden among LGBTQ+ populations. With targeted approaches in these 3 areas, we can improve the health of this vulnerable population, historically marginalized by current COPD research efforts.

description: The care and housing of transgender (TGD) incarcerated persons is a complex concern that is growing because of the increased recognition and diagnosis of gender dysphoria in society. To remain current in this evolving landscape, there have been updates to federal manuals and state guidelines regarding the medical care and housing of the TGD population. Since the publication by Glezer and colleagues in 2013, there has not been a comprehensive overview of current federal and state guidelines, and legal and other considerations on this topic. We provide an update with special consideration given to housing practices, safety, and access to care. A review of the literature shows that the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) standards and Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) requirements are not uniformly implemented and enforced on a state level. In fact, some states have policies that are in direct conflict with federal requirements. The safety and equitable treatment of both TGD and cisgender populations is an important topic that merits attention. As new challenges emerge, an increase in federal enforcement and consistency is needed to ensure the humane treatment and protection of TGD inmates.

description: The syndecans represent an ongoing research field focused on their regulatory roles in normal and pathological conditions. Syndecan's role in cancer progression becomes well-documented, implicating their importance in diagnosis and even proposing various cancer potential treatments. Thus, the characterization of the unbinding properties at the single molecules level will appeal to their use as targets for therapeutics. In our study, syndecan-1 and syndecan-4 were measured during the interaction with the vitronectin HEP II binding site. Our findings show that syndecans are calcium ion-dependent molecules that reveal distinct, unbinding properties indicating the alterations in heparin sulfate chain structure, possibly in the chain sequence or sulfation pattern. In that way, we suppose that HS chain affinity to ECM proteins may govern cancer invasion by altering syndecan ability to interact with cancer-related receptors present in the tumor microenvironment, thereby promoting the activation of various signaling cascades regulating tumor cell behavior.

description: We study the gravitational wave (GW) signal sourced by primordial turbulence that is assumed to be present at cosmological phase transitions like the electroweak and quantum chromodynamics phase transitions. We consider various models of primordial turbulence, such as those with and without helicity, purely hydrodynamical turbulence induced by fluid motions, and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence whose energy can be dominated either by kinetic or magnetic energy, depending on the nature of the turbulence. We also study circularly polarized GWs generated by parity violating sources such as helical turbulence. Our ultimate goal is to determine the efficiency of GW production through different classes of turbulence. We find that the GW energy and strain tend to be large for acoustic or irrotational turbulence, even though its tensor mode amplitude is relatively small at most wave numbers. Only at very small wave numbers is the spectral tensor mode significant, which might explain the efficient GW production in that case.

description: BACKGROUND: Data on the epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among transgender women (TGW) with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are limited.
METHODS: We analyzed baseline data collected from a cohort of adult TGW across 6 eastern and southern US cities between March 2018 and August 2020 (n = 1018). Participants completed oral HIV screening, provided self-collected rectal and urogenital specimens for chlamydia and gonorrhea testing, and provided sera specimens for syphilis testing. We assessed associations with ≥1 prevalent bacterial STI using modified Poisson regression.
RESULTS: Bacterial STI prevalence was high and differed by HIV status: 32% among TGW with HIV and 11% among those without HIV (demographic-adjusted prevalence ratio = 1.91; 95% confidence interval = 1.39-2.62). Among TGW without HIV, bacterial STI prevalence differed by geographic region, race and ethnicity, and gender identity, and was positively associated with reporting >1 sexual partner, hazardous alcohol use, homelessness, having safety concerns regarding transit to health care, and no prior receipt of gender-affirming health services. Among TGW with HIV, older age was inversely associated with bacterial STI.
CONCLUSIONS: TGW had a high prevalence of bacterial STIs. The prevalence and correlates of bacterial STI differed by HIV status, highlighting the unique needs and risks of TGW with and without HIV. Tailored interventions may reduce sexual health-related inequities.

description: Το φαινόμενο της παγκοσμιοποίησης επιτάχυνε την εμφάνιση της οικονομικής παγκοσμιοποίησης και διαμόρφωσε το οικονομικό φαινόμενο της απελευθέρωσης των αγορών διεθνώς. Οι κορεσμένες εγχώριες αγορές και ο αυξανόμενος διεθνής ανταγωνισμός κατέστησαν τη διεθνοποίηση μονόδρομο για τις επιχειρήσεις. Ως μια ιδιαίτερης σημασίας στρατηγική κίνηση διεθνοποίησης θεωρούνται οι εξαγωγές, γιατί εκτός από την αύξηση πωλήσεων και κερδών εξασφαλίζουν οικονομίες κλίμακας και κάνουν τη σύγχρονη επιχείρηση λιγότερο ευάλωτη στις διακυμάνσεις της εσωτερικής αγοράς. Οι εξαγωγές στην Ελλάδα όμως παραμένουν βασικό πρόβλημα της ελληνικής οικονομίας. Η ανάγκη αντιμετώπισης της οικονομικής κρίσης, όπως αυτή βιώνεται τα τελευταία χρόνια, επιβάλλει την ενίσχυση της εξωστρέφειας και της διεθνοποίησης των ελληνικών επιχειρήσεων, οι οποίες από επιλογή ή από ανάγκη στρέφονται πλέον προς τις εξαγωγές για να συνεισφέρουν στην ανάκαμψη της ελληνικής οικονομίας. Ένα από τα προϊόντα τα οποία αντιμετώπισαν τον σκληρό διεθνή ανταγωνισμό είναι και το ελαιόλαδο. Το ελαιόλαδο αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο βασικά συστατικά της μεσογειακής διατροφής και ένα από τα πλέον σημαντικά προϊόντα τα οποία διαθέτει η χώρα.

description: The phenomenon of globalization accelerated the emergence of economic globalization and shaped the economic phenomenon of liberalization of markets worldwide. Satisfied domestic markets and growing international competition have made internationalization an one-way business. International exports are considered as a key strategic internationalization because they save economies of scale in addition to increasing sales and profits and make modern businesses less vulnerable to fluctuations in the internal market. Exports to Greece remain a key problem for the Greek economy. The need to cope with the economic crisis, as experienced in recent years, calls for the expansion and internationalization of Greek businesses, which, by choice or by necessity, are now turning to exports to contribute to the recovery of the Greek economy. One of the products that faced tough international competition is olive oil. Olive oil is one of the most significant ingredients of the Mediterranean diet and one of the most important products our country has. Based on the above, but also due to the fact that Greece is one of the first in the ranking olive oil producing countries, the core of this diplomacy is the export activity of Greek olive oil

description: The fluctuations due to the clustering of color sources can explain the behaviour of the scaled multiplicity variance and transverse momentum fluctuations with centrality. They also predict a nonmonotonic behaviour with centrality for the multiplictiy associated to high pT events. The clustering of color sources gives rise to an increase in the long-range correaltions with centrality as well as to a supression at high centrality with respect to superposition model predictions.

description: Specific Aim: Provide an overview of the literature addressing major areas pertinent to pain in transgender persons and to identify areas of primary relevance for future research.
Methods: A team of scholars that have previously published on different areas of related research met periodically though zoom conferencing between April 2021 and February 2023 to discuss relevant literature with the goal of providing an overview on the incidence, phenotype, and mechanisms of pain in transgender patients. Review sections were written after gathering information from systematic literature searches of published or publicly available electronic literature to be compiled for publication as part of a topical series on gender and pain in the Frontiers in Pain Research.
Results: While transgender individuals represent a significant and increasingly visible component of the population, many researchers and clinicians are not well informed about the diversity in gender identity, physiology, hormonal status, and gender-affirming medical procedures utilized by transgender and other gender diverse patients. Transgender and cisgender people present with many of the same medical concerns, but research and treatment of these medical needs must reflect an appreciation of how differences in sex, gender, gender-affirming medical procedures, and minoritized status impact pain.
Conclusions: While significant advances have occurred in our appreciation of pain, the review indicates the need to support more targeted research on treatment and prevention of pain in transgender individuals. This is particularly relevant both for gender-affirming medical interventions and related medical care. Of particular importance is the need for large long-term follow-up studies to ascertain best practices for such procedures. A multi-disciplinary approach with personalized interventions is of particular importance to move forward.

description: Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, η επιστημονική κοινότητα έχει δώσει μεγάλη προσοχή στις εκρηκτικές κυκλογενέσεις ή μετεωρολογικές «βόμβες» οι οποίες είναι υφέσεις που βαθαίνουν με ασυνήθιστα γρήγορο ρυθμό. Η ακριβής ανάλυση και πρόγνωση αυτών των υφέσεων από τα επιχειρησιακά μοντέλα αποτελεί πρόκληση, ειδικά σε κλειστές θαλάσσιες περιοχές όπως η Μεσόγειος Θάλασσα. Η παρακάτω μελέτη εξετάζει μία περίπτωση εκρηκτικής κυκλογένεσης στο Ιόνιο πέλαγος στις 5,6 7 Φεβρουαρίου του 2012, χρησιμοποιώντας κυρίως τις επιχειρησιακές αναλύσεις του ECMWF (με οριζόντια χωρική διακριτoποίηση 0,125° x 0,125°) και παρατηρήσεις εδάφους. Το συγκεκριμένο σύστημα χαμηλών πιέσεων δημιούργησε σημαντικές κοινωνικοοικονομικές επιδράσεις στον Ελληνικό χώρο, προκαλώντας πολλές καταστροφές αλλά και δύο θανάτους. Ο σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι να ερευνήσει τις συνθήκες που συνέβαλαν στην εκρηκτική βάθυνση του συστήματος με την βοήθεια δεδομένων υψηλής ανάλυσης. Η ελάχιστη καταγεγραμμένη τιμή βαρομετρικής πίεσης ήταν 978.4hPa την στιγμή που ο ρυθμός βάθυνσης πλησίασε τα 1.8 Bergeron (14hPa/12ώρες). Βρέθηκε ότι το συγκεκριμένο σύστημα αναπτύχθηκε κάτω από την επίδραση ενός μεγάλου μήκους κύματος αυλώνα, μίας ανωμαλίας της δυναμικής Τροπόπαυσης, ενός ισχυρού μεγίστου του αεροχειμάρρου (jet-streak) το οποίο αύξησε τις τιμές της απόκλισης στην ανώτερη τροπόσφαιρα και ενός πολύ λεπτού στρώματος ξηρού αέρα επάνω από το οριακό στρώμα το οποίο δημιούργησε συνθήκες δυνητικής αστάθειας
description: During the last decades a lot of attention has been given to the explosive cyclones, or meteorological “bombs”, which are extra-tropical low pressure systems that deepen at an unusually rapid rate. The accurate analysis and prediction of these cyclones by the operational models is a challenge, especially in closed maritime regions such as the Mediterranean Sea. This study examines a case of explosive cyclogenesis in the Ionian Sea on 5th, 6th and 7th of February 2012, using mainly gridded ECMWF operational data (0.125°x 0.125° latitude - longitude) and surface observations. This cyclone had a high social and economic impact, causing two deaths and many damages on Greece. The aim of this study is to investigate the conditions that contributed to its rapid deepening and strong intensity through high resolution data analysis. Its minimum mean sea-level pressure was 978.4 hPa, while its deepening rate reached ~1.8 Bergeron (14 hPa/ 12 hours). It has been found that the system developed under the combined influence of a longwave trough, an anomaly of the dynamic tropopause, a strong jet-streak which induced divergence in the upper troposphere and a very dry and thin air layer, located above the boundary layer, which led to strong convective instability

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι να μελετήσει τις επιδράσεις ενός προγράμματος ενίσχυσης του αφηγηματικού γραπτού λόγου μαθητών Γ’ δημοτικού, βασισμένο στη θεωρία και πράξη της δημιουργικής γραφής, με έμφαση στους μαθητές που παρουσιάζουν υποεπίδοση, είτε λόγω ειδικών μαθησιακών δυσκολιών, είτε εξωγενών παραγόντων. Οι μαθητές αξιολογήθηκαν με στόχο να διαπιστωθεί το μαθησιακό τους προφίλ και να αποκλειστεί η σοβαρή νοητική καθυστέρηση, ενώ κατόπιν ομαδοποιήθηκαν με βάση το πηλίκο μαθησιακής τους επάρκειας, όπως αυτό προέκυψε από τη χορήγηση του DTLA -4, σε τρεις ομάδες. Στην πρώτη ομάδα ανήκουν οι μαθητές με χαμηλή και πολύ χαμηλή μαθησιακή επάρκεια, στη δεύτερη οι μαθητές με οριακή μαθησιακή επάρκεια και στην τρίτη οι μαθητές με φυσιολογική μαθησιακή επάρκεια. Στη συνέχεια σχεδιάστηκαν και πραγματοποιήθηκαν δεκαπέντε εργαστήρια δημιουργικής γραφής, στη διάρκεια των οποίων χρησιμοποιήθηκε ποικιλία οπτικοακουστικού υλικού. Τα παραγόμενα από τους μαθητές κείμενα συγκεντρώθηκαν, μελετήθηκαν και αξιολογήθηκαν ως προς τα δημιουργικά τους χαρακτηριστικά. Τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης αυτής δείχνουν βελτίωση στο γραπτό αφηγηματικό λόγο και των τριών ομάδων μαθητών. Ιδιαίτερα οι μαθητές με οριακή και χαμηλή μαθησιακή επάρκεια, φαίνεται πως στο πλαίσιο της γενικής τάξης, κατάφεραν να μειώσουν την απόστασή τους από τους υπόλοιπους μαθητές στο κομμάτι της γραπτής αφήγησης
description: The aim of the present research is to study in what extend a narrative writing programme improved the narrative writing skills of 3rd graders of a Public Primary school in Greece. The programme was based on the theory and practice of Creative Writing focusing on underperforming pupils due to special learning difficulties or extrinsic factors. The pupils were evaluated in order to assess their learning profile and to exclude any serious mental retardation. Then they were organized in three groups according to the quotient of their learning aptitude as it derived from DTLA-4. The first group consists of the pupils with low and very low learning efficiency. The second group consists of the pupils with borderline learning capacity and the third group with normal learning aptitude. Fifteen creative writing workshops were then designed and performed during which various audiovisual material was used. Pupil-produced texts were gathered, studied and evaluated for their creative features. The results of this study show improvement in the narrative writing of all pupils. Especially the border liners and the low achievers managed to cover the distance between them and the rest of the pupils
A retrospective exploration of the impact of group treatment on male batterers

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study explored the effects of a group therapy program on the male batterer's subjective perceptions of himself and his relationships. The four respondents voluntarily participated in twenty-four weeks of group therapy at a metropolitan family service agency. Qualitative, in-depth interviews were utilized three months post group participation. Grounded theory and the constant comparative method of data analysis were employed to generate preliminary themes and a beginning conceptual framework for further study. From the data analysis, a three stage change process emerged as representative of the respondents' perceptions. Results indicate that the group had a definite positive impact on the respondent's self-perception and his perceptions of relationships with significant others (family, partner, friends). Further, all of the respondents were redefining their masculinity such that it was no longer rigid and one-dimensional but shifted to being inclusive of expressing emotions and interacting respectfully with others. The information obtained on outcome of the group process for male batterers who complete therapy can be utilized by social workers in the field of family violence to modify and enhance current interventions utilized with this client population and to conduct further research with male batterers.

description: The exact ground state of four electrons in an arbitrary large two leg Hubbard ladder is deduced from nine analytic and explicit linear equations. The used procedure is described, and the properties of the ground state are analyzed. The method is based on the construction in r-space of the different type of orthogonal basis wave vectors which span the subspace of the Hilbert space containing the ground state. In order to do this, we start from the possible microconfigurations of the four particles within the system. These microconfigurations are then rotated, translated and spin-reversed in order to build up the basis vectors of the problem. A closed system of nine analytic linear equations is obtained whose secular equation, by its minimum energy solution, provides the ground state energy and the ground state wave function of the model.

Topological invariants of time-reversal-invariant band structures

description: The topological invariants of a time-reversal-invariant band structure in two dimensions are multiple copies of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant found by Kane and Mele. Such invariants protect the topological insulator and give rise to a spin Hall effect carried by edge states. Each pair of bands related by time reversal is described by a single $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant, up to one less than half the dimension of the Bloch Hamiltonians. In three dimensions, there are four such invariants per band. The $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariants of a crystal determine the transitions between ordinary and topological insulators as its bands are occupied by electrons. We derive these invariants using maps from the Brillouin zone to the space of Bloch Hamiltonians and clarify the connections between $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariants, the integer invariants that underlie the integer quantum Hall effect, and previous invariants of ${\cal T}$-invariant Fermi systems.

description: In a recent article, we constructed a hierarchy B_L of outer boundary conditions for Einstein's field equations with the property that, for a spherical outer boundary, it is perfectly absorbing for linearized gravitational radiation up to a given angular momentum number L. In this article, we generalize B_2 so that it can be applied to fairly general foliations of spacetime by space-like hypersurfaces and general outer boundary shapes and further, we improve B_2 in two steps: (i) we give a local boundary condition C_2 which is perfectly absorbing including first order contributions in 2M/R of curvature corrections for quadrupolar waves (where M is the mass of the spacetime and R is a typical radius of the outer boundary) and which significantly reduces spurious reflections due to backscatter, and (ii) we give a non-local boundary condition D_2 which is exact when first order corrections in 2M/R for both curvature and backscatter are considered, for quadrupolar radiation.

description: We demonstrate the arbitrary control of the density profile of a two-dimensional Bose gas by shaping the optical potential applied to the atoms. We use a digital micromirror device (DMD) directly imaged onto the atomic cloud through a high resolution imaging system. Our approach relies on averaging the response of many pixels of the DMD over the diffraction spot of the imaging system, which allows us to create an optical potential with arbitrary grey levels and with micron-scale resolution. The obtained density distribution is optimized with a feedback loop based on the measured absorption images of the cloud. Using the same device, we also engineer arbitrary spin distributions thanks to a two-photon Raman transfer between internal ground states.

description: We experimentally prepare a new type of continuous variable genuine four-partite entangled states, the quantum correlation property of which is different from that of the four-mode GHZ and cluster states, and which has not any qubit counterpart to be proposed at present. In the criterion inequalities for the full inseparability of the genuine four-partite entangled states, the amplitude and phase quadrature correlation variances totally consisting of three-party combination from the four entangled modes are involved. The measured correlation variances among the quadratures of the prepared entangled states satisfy the sufficient requirements for the full inseparability. The type of entangled states has especially potential application in quantum information with continuous quantum variables.
