Electrodermal correlates of the dexamethasone suppression test in unipolar and bipolar affective disorders
Creators: name: Williams, Karl Munro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: To determine whether depressed patients who suppress normally on the Dexamethasone Suppression Test (DST) differ electrodermally from depressed patients who do not suppress normally on the DST, the skin conductance of 27 unipolar and 9 bipolar (22 DST normal and 11 DST abnormal) depresslves and 15 normal controls was monitored during two experimental conditions. In the first of these conditions, subjects were exposed to 10, 85-dB, 1,000-Hz, 1-second tones after receiving instructions that were intended to minimize electrodermal responsiveness to the stimuli. In the second experimental condition, subjects were presented with 12, 105-dB, 1,000-Hz, 1-second tones. Half of these tones had a brief gap in the middle. The subjects were required to monitor the 105-dB tones carefully and to respond to the tones that contained a gap by pressing a foot pedal. No differences in electrodermal activity between the DST normal and the DST abnormal groups were detected. Moreover, no electrodermal differences between unipolar and bipolar patients and controls were found, and there was no correlation between severity of depression (as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory) and electrodermal activity. There were also no electrodermal differences between patients who were receiving antidepressant medications when tested and those who were not receiving such medication. Patients who exhibited signs and symptoms of psychomotor retardation were observed to have significantly lower levels of tonic conductance than those patients who had no signs or symptoms of psychomotor retardation or agitation. The sexes also differed, inasmuch as males emitted fewer phasic electrodermal responses to the tones that required the subject to press the foot pedal. Moreover, males habituated to the 105-dB tones faster than did females. A number of possibilities are raised in regard to the absence of electrodermal differences between normal controls and depressives. Two principal possibilities that are discussed are the overall psychomotor status of the present sample of depressives (mostly non-retarded) and the socioeconomic and educational status of the control sample (slightly above average). It is noted that future research should focus upon reliable demonstrations of electrodermal differences between depressives and controls. It is further recommended that a heterogeneous sample of normal controls be utilized in such research and that the psychomotor status of the depressed sample be assessed carefully and possibly controlled.

description: We investigate angular emission distributions of the 1s-photoelectrons of N$_2$ ionized by linearly polarized synchrotron radiation at $h ν=40$ keV. As expected, nondipole contributions cause a very strong forward-backward asymmetry in the measured emission distributions. In addition, we observe an unexpected asymmetry with respect to the polarization direction, which depends on the direction of the molecular fragmentation. In particular, photoelectrons are predominantly emitted in the direction of the forward nitrogen atom. This observation cannot be explained via asymmetries introduced by the initial bound and final continuum electronic states of the oriented molecule. The present simulations assign this asymmetry to a novel nontrivial effect of the recoil imposed to the nuclei by the fast photoelectrons and high-energy photons, which results in a propensity for the ions to break up along the axis of the recoil momentum. The results are of particular importance for the interpretation of future experiments at XFELs operating in the few tens of keV regime, where such nondipole and recoil effects will be essential.

description: We present a gauge-invariant and non-perturbative construction of the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model on the lattice, based on the lattice Dirac operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. Our construction covers all SU(2) topological sectors with vanishing U(1) magnetic flux and would be usable for a description of the baryon number non-conservation. In infinite volume, it provides a gauge-invariant regularization of the electroweak theory to all orders of perturbation theory. First we formulate the reconstruction theorem which asserts that if there exists a set of local currents satisfying cetain properties, it is possible to reconstruct the fermion measure which depends smoothly on the gauge fields and fulfills the fundamental requirements such as locality, gauge-invariance and lattice symmetries. Then we give a closed formula of the local currents required for the reconstruction theorem.

description: We present a systematic study of how vortices in superfluid films interact with the spatially varying Gaussian curvature of the underlying substrate. The Gaussian curvature acts as a source for a geometric potential that attracts (repels) vortices towards regions of negative (positive) Gaussian curvature independently of the sign of their topological charge. Various experimental tests involving rotating superfluid films and vortex pinning are first discussed for films coating gently curved substrates that can be treated in perturbation theory from flatness. An estimate of the experimental regimes of interest is obtained by comparing the strength of the geometrical forces to the vortex pinning induced by the varying thickness of the film which is in turn caused by capillary effects and gravity. We then present a non-perturbative technique based on conformal mappings that leads an exact solution for the geometric potential as well as the geometric correction to the interaction between vortices. The conformal mapping approach is illustrated by means of explicit calculations of the geometric effects encountered in the study of some strongly curved surfaces and by deriving universal bounds on their strength.

description: The current random access (RA) allocation techniques suffer from congestion and high signaling overhead while serving massive machine type communication (mMTC) applications. To this end, 3GPP introduced the need to use fast uplink grant (FUG) allocation in order to reduce latency and increase reliability for smart internet-of-things (IoT) applications with strict QoS constraints. We propose a novel FUG allocation based on support vector machine (SVM), First, MTC devices are prioritized using SVM classifier. Second, LSTM architecture is used for traffic prediction and correction techniques to overcome prediction errors. Both results are used to achieve an efficient resource scheduler in terms of the average latency and total throughput. A Coupled Markov Modulated Poisson Process (CMMPP) traffic model with mixed alarm and regular traffic is applied to compare the proposed FUG allocation to other existing allocation techniques. In addition, an extended traffic model based CMMPP is used to evaluate the proposed algorithm in a more dense network. We test the proposed scheme using real-time measurement data collected from the Numenta Anomaly Benchmark (NAB) database. Our simulation results show the proposed model outperforms the existing RA allocation schemes by achieving the highest throughput and the lowest access delay of the order of 1 ms by achieving prediction accuracy of 98 $\%$ when serving the target massive and critical MTC applications with a limited number of resources.

description: The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) operated successfully during a 100-hour flight from northern Sweden in June 2005 (BLAST05). As part of the calibration and pointing procedures, several compact sources were mapped, including solar system, Galactic, and extragalactic targets, specifically Pallas, CRL 2688, LDN 1014, IRAS 20126+4104, IRAS 21078+5211, IRAS 21307+5049, IRAS 22134+5834, IRAS 23011+6126, K3-50, W 75N, and Mrk 231. One additional source, Arp 220, was observed and used as our primary calibrator. Details of the overall BLAST05 calibration procedure are discussed here. The BLAST observations of each compact source are described, flux densities and spectral energy distributions are reported, and these are compared with previous measurements at other wavelengths. The 250, 350, and 500 um BLAST data can provide useful constraints to the amplitude and slope of the submillimeter continuum, which in turn may be useful for the improved calibration of other submillimeter instruments.

description: Automatic breast lesion segmentation in ultrasound helps to diagnose breast cancer, which is one of the dreadful diseases that affect women globally. Segmenting breast regions accurately from ultrasound image is a challenging task due to the inherent speckle artifacts, blurry breast lesion boundaries, and inhomogeneous intensity distributions inside the breast lesion regions. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated remarkable results in medical image segmentation tasks. However, the convolutional operations in a CNN often focus on local regions, which suffer from limited capabilities in capturing long-range dependencies of the input ultrasound image, resulting in degraded breast lesion segmentation accuracy. In this paper, we develop a deep convolutional neural network equipped with a global guidance block (GGB) and breast lesion boundary detection (BD) modules for boosting the breast ultrasound lesion segmentation. The GGB utilizes the multi-layer integrated feature map as a guidance information to learn the long-range non-local dependencies from both spatial and channel domains. The BD modules learn additional breast lesion boundary map to enhance the boundary quality of a segmentation result refinement. Experimental results on a public dataset and a collected dataset show that our network outperforms other medical image segmentation methods and the recent semantic segmentation methods on breast ultrasound lesion segmentation. Moreover, we also show the application of our network on the ultrasound prostate segmentation, in which our method better identifies prostate regions than state-of-the-art networks.

description: Understanding the formation of lead halide (LH) perovskite solution precursors is crucial to gain insight into the evolution of these materials to thin films for solar cells. Using density-functional theory in conjunction with the polarizable continuum model, we investigate 18 complexes with chemical formula PbX$_2$M$_4$, where X = Cl, Br, I and M are common solvent molecules. Through the analysis of structural properties, binding energies, and charge distributions, we clarify the role of halogen species and solvent molecules in the formation of LH perovskite precursors. We find that interatomic distances are critically affected by the halogen species, while the energetic stability is driven by the solvent coordination to the backbones. Regardless of the solvent, lead iodide complexes are more strongly bound than the others. Based on the charge distribution analysis, we find that all solvent molecules bind covalently with the LH backbones and that Pb-I and Pb-Br bonds lose ionicity in solution. Our results contribute to clarify the physical properties of LH perovskite solution precursors and offer a valuable starting point for further investigations on their crystalline intermediates.

description: One of the most widely used methods for eigenvalue computation is the $QR$ iteration with Wilkinson's shift: here the shift $s$ is the eigenvalue of the bottom $2\times 2$ principal minor closest to the corner entry. It has been a long-standing conjecture that the rate of convergence of the algorithm is cubic. In contrast, we show that there exist matrices for which the rate of convergence is strictly quadratic. More precisely, let $T_X$ be the $3 \times 3$ matrix having only two nonzero entries $(T_X)_{12} = (T_X)_{21} = 1$ and let $T_L$ be the set of real, symmetric tridiagonal matrices with the same spectrum as $T_X$. There exists a neighborhood $U \subset T_L$ of $T_X$ which is invariant under Wilkinson's shift strategy with the following properties. For $T_0 \in U$, the sequence of iterates $(T_k)$ exhibits either strictly quadratic or strictly cubic convergence to zero of the entry $(T_k)_{23}$. In fact, quadratic convergence occurs exactly when $\lim T_k = T_X$. Let $X$ be the union of such quadratically convergent sequences $(T_k)$: the set $X$ has Hausdorff dimension 1 and is a union of disjoint arcs $X^σ$ meeting at $T_X$, where $σ$ ranges over a Cantor set.

description: We explore the clustering properties of high redshift dark matter halos, focusing on halos massive enough to host early generations of stars or galaxies at redshift 10 and greater. Halos are extracted from an array of dark matter simulations able to resolve down to the "mini-halo" mass scale at redshifts as high as 30, thus encompassing the expected full mass range of halos capable of hosting luminous objects and sources of reionization. Halo clustering on large-scales agrees with the Sheth, Mo & Tormen halo bias relation within all our simulations, greatly extending the regime where large-scale clustering is confirmed to be "universal" at the 10-20% level (which means, for example, that 3sigma halos of cluster mass at z=0 have the same large-scale bias with respect to the mass distribution as 3sigma halos of galaxy mass at z=10). However, on small-scales, the clustering of our massive halos (> ~10^9 Msun/h) at these high redshifts is stronger than expected from comparisons with small-scale halo clustering extrapolated from lower redshifts. This implies "non-universality" in the scale-dependence of halo clustering, at least for the commonly used parameterizations of the scale-dependence of bias that we consider. We provide a fit for the scale-dependence of bias in our results. This study provides a basis for using extraordinarily high redshift galaxies (redshift ~10) as a probe of cosmology and galaxy formation at its earliest stages. We show also that mass and halo kinematics are strongly affected by finite simulation volumes. This suggests the potential for adverse affects on gas dynamics in hydrodynamic simulations of limited volumes, such as is typical in simulations of the formation of the "first stars", though further study is warranted.

The descent into Hell : an Elizabethan controversy
Creators: name: Stewart, Patricia Weightman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Protestant schism with Rome involved a rejection of Catholic beliefs about the nature of hell. As a result it was imperative that Protestants reinterpret)? a central article of Christian belief. This article was Christ's descent into hell which had long been accepted in the Apostles' Creed as having followed the death and burial of Christ. Debate about the meaning and purpose of Christ's descent grew in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The Protestant emphasis on the Word as the all important foundation of faith meant that the Scriptures and the Church Fathers were consulted to establish the meaning of the article. Original Greek and Hebrew texts of the Scriptures were analysed. Calvin had propounded a radically different interpretation of the article which some Englishmen accepted. Others employed "reason" to "prove" the validity of one interpretation or another. These different methods employed to ascertain the true interpretation of the article produced widely divergent results. The authorities of the Church of England were faced with disagreement and dissention which they were unable to subdue. As a result, by 1607 the Church was retreating from maintaining authority over the content of belief in this article. The theological inclination of Church authorities on this issue contradicts the views which some modern historians hold about the beliefs and motivations of these men. The debate also undermines the impression sometimes given of a solid, theologically stable, "Calvinist" Church in England.
Why could a new-born active region produce coronal mass ejections?

description: Solar active regions (ARs) are the main sources of flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). NOAA AR 12089, which emerged on 2014 June 10, produced two C-class flares accompanied by CMEs within five hours after its emergence. When producing the two eruptive flares, the total unsigned magnetic flux ($Φ_{\text{AR}}$) and magnetic free energy ($E_f$) of the AR are much smaller than the common CME-producing ARs. Why can this extremely small AR produce eruptive flares so early? We compare the AR magnetic environment for the eruptive flares to that for the largest confined flare from the AR. Besides the $Φ_{\text{AR}}$ and $E_f$, we calculate the ratio between the mean characteristic twist parameter ($α_{\text{FPIL}}$) within the flaring polarity inversion line (FPIL) region and $Φ_{\text{AR}}$, a parameter considering both background magnetic field constraint and non-potentiality of the core region, for the three flares. We find higher $α_{\text{FPIL}}/{Φ_{\text{AR}}}$ values during the eruptive flares than during the confined flare. Furthermore, we compute the decay index along the polarity inversion line, revealing values of 1.69, 3.45, and 0.98 before the two eruptive and the confined flares, respectively. Finally, nonlinear force-free field extrapolation indicates that a flux rope was repeatedly formed along the FPIL before eruptive flares, which ejected out and produced CMEs. No flux rope was found before the confined flare. Our research suggests that even a newly emerged, extremely small AR can produce eruptive flares if it has sufficiently weak background field constraint and strong non-potentiality in the core region.

description: Excerpts from the report: This study covers mobile mill services offered by 5 cooperatives—or in some cases branches of a cooperative—that were operating 12 mobile mills in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in 1958 and 1959. One association had seven branches operating eight mills; the other four associations each operated one mill. We also obtained information on time required to do the different operations in four of the mills during 1960. This study was undertaken primarily to assist cooperative feed dealers who have mobile feed mills in evaluating their mobile mill operations, and to provide those considering the purchase of mobile mills with information on desirable volumes, operating data, and practices essential for success. The more specific objectives of this study were: (1) To determine operating practices and policies of mobile mill operations; (2) to determine costs and returns of the mobile mill operations; and (3) to compare the efficiency of different methods of operating mobile feed mills.

description: Abstract

Corruption continues to be a serious problem in Jordan, and the part played by online newspapers in covering and framing corruption incidents greatly affects public opinion. This research sought to examine the coverage of corruption-related topics by Jordanian electronic newspapers during 2023 and 2024, emphasizing journalistic formats, contributors, types of corruption, and the degree of objectivity in their reporting. A content analysis approach was utilized to investigate three major news sources with different political leanings: Al-Rai (a state-run newspaper), Al-Sabeel (a political publication), and Ammon News (an independent private news platform). The results showed significant variations in reporting methods. Al-Rai mainly depended on articles, with most input from authors, while Al-Sabeel and Ammon News concentrated on news coverage and statistical information. In political corruption cases, "non-enforcement of laws" was the most commonly mentioned problem in all three newspapers. Coverage of economic corruption differed, as Al-Rai emphasized "misallocation of the state budget," whereas Al-Sabeel and Ammon News concentrated on "privatization." Likewise, the reporting on administrative corruption varied, as Al-Rai highlighted "nepotism," Al-Sabeel pointed out the "lack of compliance with official working hours," and Ammon News concentrated on "bribery." The research found that Jordanian online newspapers demonstrate varied methods of reporting on corruption, influenced by their political stances and editorial viewpoints. These differences emphasize the necessity for more balanced and thorough reporting to promote an informed public awareness of corruption in Jordan.

description: We argue that algebraic and combinatorial polytope mutations of Fano 3-folds can be identified with mass deformations of associated 2d (0,2) supersymmetric gauge theories realized by brane brick models. These are Type IIA brane configurations that realize a large family of 2d worldvolume theories on probe D1-branes at toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. We show that brane brick models that are related by mass deformations associated to algebraic and combinatorial polytope mutations of Fano 3-folds have mesonic moduli spaces with the same number of generators. We show that mesonic flavor charges of these generators form convex reflexive lattice polytopes that are dual to the toric diagrams of the Fano 3-folds. The generating function of mesonic gauge invariant operators, also known as the Hilbert series of the mesonic moduli space, appears to be identical for such brane brick models under a particular refinement originating from the U(1)_R charges in the brane brick model following the mass deformation.

description: Abstract

Corruption continues to be a serious problem in Jordan, and the part played by online newspapers in covering and framing corruption incidents greatly affects public opinion. This research sought to examine the coverage of corruption-related topics by Jordanian electronic newspapers during 2023 and 2024, emphasizing journalistic formats, contributors, types of corruption, and the degree of objectivity in their reporting. A content analysis approach was utilized to investigate three major news sources with different political leanings: Al-Rai (a state-run newspaper), Al-Sabeel (a political publication), and Ammon News (an independent private news platform). The results showed significant variations in reporting methods. Al-Rai mainly depended on articles, with most input from authors, while Al-Sabeel and Ammon News concentrated on news coverage and statistical information. In political corruption cases, "non-enforcement of laws" was the most commonly mentioned problem in all three newspapers. Coverage of economic corruption differed, as Al-Rai emphasized "misallocation of the state budget," whereas Al-Sabeel and Ammon News concentrated on "privatization." Likewise, the reporting on administrative corruption varied, as Al-Rai highlighted "nepotism," Al-Sabeel pointed out the "lack of compliance with official working hours," and Ammon News concentrated on "bribery." The research found that Jordanian online newspapers demonstrate varied methods of reporting on corruption, influenced by their political stances and editorial viewpoints. These differences emphasize the necessity for more balanced and thorough reporting to promote an informed public awareness of corruption in Jordan.

description: Many quintessence models possess scaling or attractor solutions where the fraction of dark energy follows the dominant component in previous epochs of the expansion, or phase transitions may happen close to matter-radiation equality time. A non-negligible early dark energy (EDE) fraction around matter-radiation equality could contribute to alleviate the $H_0$ tension. We constrain the EDE fraction using two approaches: first, we use a fluid parameterization that mimics the plateaux of the dominant components in the past. An alternative tomographic approach constrains the EDE density in binned redshift intervals. This allows us to reconstruct $Ω_{de}(z)$ before and after the decoupling of the CMB photons. We have employed Planck data 2018, the Pantheon supernovae of Type Ia (SNIa), galaxy clustering data, the prior on the absolute magnitude of SNIa by SH0ES, and weak lensing (WL) data from KiDS+VIKING-450 and DES-Y1. When we use a minimal parameterization mimicking the background plateaux, EDE has only a small impact on current cosmological tensions. The constraints on the EDE fraction weaken considerably when its sound speed is allowed to vary. By means of our binned analysis we put very tight constraints on the EDE fraction around the CMB decoupling time, $\lesssim 0.4\%$ at $2σ$ c.l. We confirm previous results that a significant EDE fraction in the radiation-dominated epoch (RDE) loosens the $H_0$ tension, but tends to worsen the $σ_8$ one. The presence of EDE in the matter-dominated era helps to alleviate this issue. When the SH0ES prior and WL data are considered in the fitting analysis in combination with data from CMB, SNIa and baryon acoustic oscillations, the EDE fractions are constrained to be $\lesssim 2.6\%$ in the RDE epoch and $\lesssim 1.5\%$ in the redshift range $z\in (100,1000)$ at $2σ$ c.l. The tensions remain at $\sim 2-3σ$ c.l.

description: As an alternative to traditional fault injection-based methodologies and to explore the applicability of modern machine learning algorithms in the field of reliability engineering, this paper proposes a systemic framework that explores gate-level netlist circuit abstractions to extract and exploit relevant feature representations in a low-dimensional vector space. A scalable feature learning method on a graphical domain called node2vec algorithm had been utilized for efficiently extracting structural features of the netlist, providing a valuable database to exercise a selection of machine learning (ML) or deep learning (DL) algorithms aiming at predicting fault propagation metrics. The current work proposes to model the gate-level netlist as a Probabilistic Bayesian Graph (PGB) in the form of a Graph Modeling Language (GML) format. To accomplish this goal, a Verilog Procedural Interface (VPI) library linked to standard simulation tools has been built to map gate-level netlist into the graph model. The extracted features have been used for predicting the Functional Derating (FDR) factors of individual flip-flops of a given circuit through Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) algorithms. The results of the approach have been compared against data obtained through first-principles approaches. The whole experiment was implemented on the features extracted from the 10-Gigabit Ethernet MAC IEEE 802.3 standard circuit.

description: We consider topological configurations of the magnetically coupled spinning stellar binaries (e.g., merging neutron stars or interacting star-planet systems). We discuss conditions when the stellar spins and the orbital motion nearly `compensate' each other, leading to very {\it slow} overall winding of the coupled magnetic fields; slowly winding configurations allow gradual accumulation of magnetic energy, that is eventually released in a flare when the instability threshold is reached. We find that this slow winding can be global and/or local. We describe the topology of the relevant space $\mathbb{F}=T^1S^2$ as the unit tangent bundle of the two-sphere and find conditions for slowly winding configurations in terms of magnetic moments, spins and orbital momentum. These conditions become ambiguous near the topological bifurcation points; in certain cases they also depend on the relative phases of the spin and orbital motions. In the case of merging magnetized neutron stars, if one of the stars is a millisecond pulsar, spinning at $\sim$ 10 msec, the global resonance $ω_1+ω_2= 2 Ω$ (spin-plus beat is two times the orbital period) occurs approximately a second before the merger; the total energy of the flare can be as large as $10\%$ of the total magnetic energy, producing bursts of luminosity $\sim 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Higher order local resonances may have similar powers, since the amount of involved magnetic flux tubes may be comparable to the total connected flux.

description: The controlled functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes with luminescent sp3-defects has created the potential to employ them as quantum-light sources in the near-infrared. For that, it is crucial to control their spectral diversity. The emission wavelength is determined by the binding configuration of the defects rather than the molecular structure of the attached groups. However, current functionalization methods produce a variety of binding configurations and thus emission wavelengths. We introduce a simple reaction protocol for the creation of only one type of luminescent defect in polymer-sorted (6,5) nanotubes, which is more red-shifted and exhibits longer photoluminescence lifetimes than the commonly obtained binding configurations. We demonstrate single-photon emission at room temperature and expand this functionalization to other polymer-wrapped nanotubes with emission further in the near-infrared. As the selectivity of the reaction with various aniline derivatives depends on the presence of an organic base we propose nucleophilic addition as the reaction mechanism.

description: We present a multi-wavelength study of embedded massive clusters in the nearby (3.9 Mpc) starburst galaxy NGC 4449 in an effort to uncover the earliest phases of massive cluster evolution. By combining high resolution imaging from the radio to the ultraviolet, we reveal these clusters in the process of emerging from their gaseous and dusty birth cocoons. We use Very Large Array (VLA) observations at centimeter wavelengths to identify young clusters surrounded by ultra-dense HII regions, detectable via their production of thermal free-free radio continuum. Ultraviolet, optical and infrared observations are obtained from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescope archives for comparison. We detect 39 compact radio sources towards NGC 4449 at 3.6 cm using the highest resolution (1.3") and sensitivity (RMS ~ 12 uJy) VLA image of the galaxy to date. We reliably identify 13 thermal radio sources and their physical properties are derived using both nebular emission from the HII regions and SED fitting to the stellar continuum. These radio detected clusters have ages < 5 Myr and stellar masses of order 10^4 Msun. The measured extinctions are quite low: 12 of the 13 thermal radio sources have Av < 1.5, while the most obscured source has Av ~ 4.3. By combining results from the nebular and stellar emission, we find an I-band excess that is anti-correlated with cluster age and an apparent mass-age correlation. Additionally, we find evidence that local processes such as supernovae and stellar winds are likely playing an important role in triggering the current bursts of star formation within NGC 4449.

description: Actinide elements produce a plethora of interesting physical behaviors due to the 5f states. This review compiles and analyzes progress in understanding of the electronic and magnetic structure of the 5f states in actinide metals. Particular interest is given to electron energy-loss spectroscopy and many-electron atomic spectral calculations, since there is now an appreciable library of core d -> valence f transitions for Th, U, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm. These results are interwoven and discussed against published experimental data, such as x-ray photoemission and absorption spectroscopy, transport measurements, and electron, x-ray, and neutron diffraction, as well as theoretical results, such as density-functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory.

Here we establish such a result for Gibbsian particle systems with two-body interaction, where the interesting cases of singular, hard-core and discontinuous interaction are included. We start with the special case of pure hard core repulsion in order to show how to treat hard cores in general.
