Notes on Contemporary Indian Identity
Creators: name: Giordano, Fedora
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2009

description: This essay offers a survey of Native American positions in the American patchwork. Taking as a starting point contemporary American politics and the possibility of multiracial identification in the U.S. Census, it surveys the contemporary discussion by Native American writers and scholars on “Men made of words,” “postindians,” “paracolonialism,” invented Indians, real Indians, and Indians as “signatures of assent,” foregrounding the complex negotiations involved in definitions and self-definitions of Indian identity.

description: We present HST/COS high S/N observations of the z = 0.32566 multi-phase absorber towards 3C263. The COS data shows absorption from H I, O VI, C III, N III, Si III and C II. The Ne VIII in this absorber is detected in the FUSE spectrum. The low and intermediate ions are kinematically aligned with each other and H I and display narrow line widths of 6 km/s. The O VI lines are kinematically offset by 12 km/s from the low ions and are a factor of four broader. All metal ions except O VI and Ne VIII are consistent with an origin in gas photoionized by the extragalactic background radiation. The bulk of the observed H I is also traced by this photoionized medium. The carbon abundance in this gas phase is near-solar. The O VI and Ne VIII favor an origin in collisionally ionized gas at T = 5.2 x 10^5 K. The H I absorption associated with this warm absorber is a BLA marginally detected in the COS spectrum. This warm gas phase has total hydrogen column density of N(H) ~ 3 x 10^19 which is 2 dex higher than what is traced by the photoionized gas. Simultaneous detection of O VI, Ne VIII and BLAs in an absorber can be a strong diagnostic of gas with temperature in the range of 10^5 - 10^6 K corresponding to the warm phase of the WHIM or shock-heated gas in the extended halos of galaxies.

description: Collective low lying levels of light and medium Xenon isotopes are deduced from the Generalized Bohr Hamiltonian (GBH). The microscopic seven functions entering into the GBH are built from a deformed mean field of the Woods-Saxon type. Theoretical spectra are found to be close to the ones of the experimental data taking into account that the calculations are completely microscopic, that is to say, without any fitting of parameters.

description: Introduction: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, health professionals showed high rates of fear and work stress.Purpose: The main purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship of work stress and fear of COVID-19 with caring behaviors, while also examining their correlation with the demographic and professional characteristics of nurses.Material and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a sample of 90 nurses working at the Panarkadian General Hospital of Tripoli 'The Evangelistria'.Three research instruments were used for data collection, which was conducted online: (1) the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS), (2) the Caring Behaviors Inventory (CBI) and (3) the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S).Results: There was no effect of fear and work stress on caring behaviors.25% of changes in work stress are explained by changes in fear.The dimension of fear received a mean value of 17.15 (SD 6.18), which is characterized as low (scale 7-35), the dimension of work stress received a mean value of 2.46 (SD 0.70)and is characterized as moderate to high (scale 0- 4), while caring behaviors received an average value of 5.14 (SD 0.48) which is considered high (scale 1-6).Fear of COVID-19 is greater among nurses aged 18-30, nurses with 0-10 years of experience, and nurses with flexible hours.Work stress is more intense in nurses aged 41-50 and nurses with 11-20 years of experience.Female nurses report higher levels of caring behaviors than male nurses.Conclusions:The fear of COVID-19 experienced by nurses has a significant effect on increasing their work stress.There was no effect of fear and work stress on caring behaviors.Specific demographic and occupational characteristics of nurses are associated with enhanced levels of fear and job stress and reduced levels of caring behaviors. Keywords: Fear of COVID-19, work stress, caring behaviors, nurses.

description: A novel Penning trap tower consisting of five compensated cylindrical Penning traps is developed for the PENTATRAP mass spectrometer at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg, Germany. An analytical expression for the electrostatic potential inside the trap tower is derived to calculate standard Penning trap properties like the compensation of anharmonicities and an orthogonal geometry of the trap electrodes. Since the PENTATRAP project described in the preceding article aims for ultra high-precision mass-ratio measurements of highly charged ions up to uranium, systematic effects for highly charged ions inside the trap tower are considered for the design process as well. Finally, a limit due to remaining anharmonic shifts at large amplitudes is estimated for the resulting geometry, which is important for phase-sensitive measurements of the reduced cyclotron frequency of the ions.

description: Berufspraktische Studienelemente wie Praktika stellen ein zentrales Element der Ausbildung von Lehrpersonen dar – und zwar sowohl bezüglich ihrer Relevanz als auch hinsichtlich der Ressourcen, die dafür eingesetzt werden. Von den Lehramtsstudierenden selbst werden Studienelemente mit Praxisbezug als besonders bedeutsam und ertragreich bewertet (Arnold et al., 2014). Trotz dieser unbestrittenen Relevanz von Praktika und anderen Praxisgefäßen ist über Gelingensfaktoren von praxissituierten Lernprozessen aber erst wenig bekannt (König & Rothland, 2018). Einige Studien geben zwar Hinweise, dass die Qualität von Mentoring und Unterrichtsbesprechungen für das Lernen der Studierenden im Praxisfeld bedeutsam sind (Futter, 2016; Kreis, 2012; Kreis & Staub, 2011, 2013). Aber diese Studien erfolgen bislang mehrheitlich aus allgemeindidaktischer Perspektive und kaum aus fachdidaktischer und noch weniger aus einer interdisziplinären Sicht heraus, in der sich allgemeindidaktische und fachdidaktische Anliegen und Forschungstraditionen zur gemeinsamen Bearbeitung relevanter Forschungsfragen zur berufspraktischen Ausbildung verbinden. Bisher kaum beleuchtet ist auch die Frage, welche Rolle die fachlich-fachdidaktische Expertise der Mentor*innen für die systematische Nutzung von Lerngelegenheiten der Studierenden in der Unterrichtsbesprechung spielen. Dies erstaunt insbesondere auch vor dem Hintergrund, dass Studierende im Praxisfeld mit verschiedenen Akteur*innen über ihren Unterricht – auch im Fach Mathematik – sprechen. Mit diesen offenen Fragen befasst sich die interdisziplinär angelegte SNFStudie „Lerngelegenheiten für Lehrstudierende im sozialen Netzwerk Praxisfeld aus allgemein- und mathematikdidaktischer Perspektive (Dia-MaNt)“ (Laufzeit: 07/2021–06/2025) (Kreis & Brunner, 2019).

description: There are two standard ways of peeling an orange: either cut the skin along meridians, or cut it along a spiral. We consider here the second method, and study the shape of the spiral strip, when unfolded on a table. We derive a formula that describes the corresponding flattened-out spiral. Cutting the peel with progressively thinner strip widths, we obtain a sequence of increasingly long spirals. We show that, after rescaling, these spirals tends to a definite shape, known as the Euler spiral. The Euler spiral has applications in many fields of science. In optics, the illumination intensity at a point behind a slit is computed from the distance between two points on the Euler spiral. The Euler spiral also provides optimal curvature for train tracks between a straight run and an upcoming bend. It is striking that it can be also obtained with an orange and a kitchen knife.

description: The main focus of this analysis is the insofar-ignored presence of Italian performers in Hollywood cinema before the Second World War and its interaction with the Yiddish stage. These two cultures, while showing manifest similarities in their natural interaction to please popular audiences, mixing high and low, tragic and comic styles, naturalism and expressive gestures, experienced in this period unexpected encounters. Without trying to be systematic, points of contact, minor coincidences, and tangential moments involving Italian and Jewish performers on the American stage and screen are traced by citing (virtual) film clips from some of Hollywood’s great films.

The proof combines work by the Japanese school on "irreducibility" of the Painleve equations, with the trichomoty theorem for strongly minimal sets in differentially closed fields.

Identities in Critical Times

Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2009

description: This introductory essay explores the potential of the patchwork trope –– and President Barack Obama’s use of it –– to represent U.S. identity and culture at the critical turn of the twenty-first century. It argues that not only does the sense of crisis running through U.S. contemporary society deeply affect the structure of U.S. racial and ethnic relations but also that it can better be understood when considered in relation to an analogous sentiment prevalent in American society at the beginning of the modernist twentieth century, when the ‘melting pot’ metaphor was created. The essay correlates literary and social representations of interracial/interethnic relationships at the turn of the two centuries and the ‘melting pot’ and ‘patchwork’ metaphors. It also highlights how critics, artists, and politicians, while criticizing the ‘American Myth’ of Manifest Destiny, turn once more to imagination to revive the myth of the United States as the land of possibility.

description: Context: The Kepler space mission is reaching continuous observing times long enough to start studying the fine structure of the observed p-mode spectra. Aims: In this paper, we aim to study the signature of stellar evolution on the radial and p-dominated l=2 modes in an ensemble of red giants that show solar-type oscillations. Results: We find that the phase shift of the central radial mode (eps_c) is significantly different for red giants at a given large frequency separation (Dnu_c) but which burn only H in a shell (RGB) than those that have already ignited core He burning. Even though not directly probing the stellar core the pair of local seismic observables (Dnu_c, eps_c) can be used as an evolutionary stage discriminator that turned out to be as reliable as the period spacing of the mixed dipole modes. We find a tight correlation between eps_c and Dnu_c for RGB stars and no indication that eps_c depends on other properties of these stars. It appears that the difference in eps_c between the two populations becomes if we use an average of several radial orders, instead of a local, i.e. only around the central radial mode, Dnu to determine the phase shift. This indicates that the information on the evolutionary stage is encoded locally, in the shape of the radial mode sequence. This shape turns out to be approximately symmetric around the central radial mode for RGB stars but asymmetric for core He burning stars. We computed radial modes for a sequence of RG models and find them to qualitatively confirm our findings. We also find that, at least in our models, the local Dnu is an at least as good and mostly better proxy for both the asymptotic spacing and the large separation scaled from the model density than the average Dnu. Finally, we investigate the signature of the evolutionary stage on the small frequency separation and quantify the mass dependency of this seismic parameter.

description: We present a new algorithm for computing the electromagnetic fields of currents inside and outside of finite current sources, for arbitrary time variations in the currents. Unexpectedly, we find that our solutions for these fields are free of the concepts of differential calculus, in that our solutions only involve the currents and their time integrals, and do not involve the time derivatives of the currents. As examples, we give the solutions for two configurations of current: a planar solenoid and a rotating spherical shell carrying a uniform charge density. For slow time variations in the currents, we show that our general solutions reduce to the standard expressions for the fields in classic magnetic dipole radiation. In the limit of extremely fast turn-on of the currents, we show that for our general solutions the amount of energy radiated is exactly equal to the magnetic energy stored in the static fields a long time after current creation. We give three associated problem statements which can be used in courses at the undergraduate level, and one problem statement suitable for courses at the graduate level. These problems are of physical interest because: (1) they show that current systems of finite extent can radiate even during time intervals when the currents are constant; (2) they explicitly display transit time delays across a source associated with its finite dimensions; and (3) they allow students to see directly the origin of the reaction forces for time-varying systems

Exploring the Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres through in vitro gene editing and the study of soft tissue sarcomas
Creators: name: Sommer, Aurora
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The majority of cancers reactivate telomerase to maintain their telomere length but a minority (10 to 15%) utilize an alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway, which involves a specialized form of homologous recombination. The CTC1/STN1/TEN1 (CST) complex plays multiple roles in telomerase-expressing cells but its role in ALT remains poorly studied. As there is more than one mechanism by which telomeres can be lengthened in ALT, the requirement for CST was investigated in three separate ALT cell lines. Using CRISPR/Cas9 to target STN1, knock-out clones were generated: loss of STN1 had little impact on cellular proliferation and had an effect only on one ALT-associated marker, C-circles, but in a cell line-dependent manner.Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) display a higher frequency of ALT than most other cancers; as part of our sarcoma study, DNA from non-metastatic STSs was analysed. The proportion of ALT positive tumours in our cohort was in keeping with that observed in previous studies. Little correlation between ALT status and clinical characteristics was found. Looking for signs of genomic instability, evidence of telomere fusions was found in both ALT negative and ALT positive leiomyosarcomas. Drug sensitivity tests were performed by collaborators on tumour samples, with preliminary data suggesting that drugs used for the treatment of other malignancies could be of potential benefit for STS patients.There are currently no biomarkers to monitor disease recurrence in STS patients. Small quantities of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can be found in the blood of cancer patients; the potential of ctDNA as a biomarker was therefore investigated. Using targeted Next Generation Sequencing (tNGS), ctDNA was only detected in 10% of patients. Taken together with previous results from the study, this suggests that ctDNA might be of limited use as a biomarker in non-metastatic STS patients.

description: This study was done to systematically review human clinical trials using stem cell therapy to treat black triangle in relation to success. A black triangle is described as a visible triangular space that is located cervical to the interproximal contact that is not filled by the gingival tissue architecture. This condition developed as a result of interproximal soft tissue loss which can either be due to periodontal disease, orthodontic treatment, abnormal shape and crown of the tooth, trauma, mechanical and chemical causes. The presence of a black triangle does not only compromises the aesthetic condition of the mouth related to appearance especially if it occurs at the anterior region but can also cause phonetic difficulties and food impaction. These consequences will lead to reduced oral health-related quality of life where problems arise in terms of maintaining good oral hygiene, speech, function and aesthetic appearance. Therefore, it is important to manage this condition in order to improve the quality of life and maintain the longevity of the dentition.

Τα κρυπτονομίσματα και το DeFi φέρνουν στην παγκόσμια κοινότητα μία νέα κατηγορία ψηφιακών περιουσιακών στοιχείων και μία διαφορετική οπτική στον τρόπο χρηματοδότησης, και προτείνουν ένα καινούργιο πλήρες χρηματοοικονομικό οικοσύστημα. Αυτή η διπλωματική εργασία παρουσιάζει και αναλύει αυτόν τον νέο τρόπο χρηματοδότησης και διαμεσολάβησης στις αγορές των κρυπτονομισμάτων που στοχεύει να απαλλάξει τους χρήστες και τους επενδυτές από τους μεσάζοντες του τραπεζικού συστήματος, αλλά και να μειώσει το κόστος και το χρόνο των συναλλαγών. Συνοψίζοντας η συμβολή της παρουσιάζεται στα παρακάτω σημεία: • Παρέχει μια συνολική επισκόπηση σε ένα ανεξάρτητο και αυτόνομο οικοσύστημα που στηρίζει την λειτουργία του στα κρυπτονομίσματα και σε νέα αυτοματοποιημένα πρωτόκολλα. • Απαντά στα ερωτήματα που εγείρονται με την είσοδο των κρυπτονομισμάτων στην παγκόσμια οικονομία για το πώς ορίζονται, πώς ταξινομούνται, πώς ρυθμίζονται και εν τέλη πώς δημιουργούν το οικοσύστημα της αποκεντρωμένης χρηματοδότησης. • Εξετάζει τα οικονομικά κίνητρα που ενσωματώνονται σε αυτά τα πρωτόκολλα και παρουσιάζει το τρέχον τοπίο των κρυπτονομισμάτων και των κύριων εφαρμογών DeFi. • Αναλύει την συμπεριφορά των κρυπτονομισμάτων μεμονωμένα και στο σύνολο τους, καθώς επίσης και το σύνολο των προκλήσεων και των κινδύνων που αφορούν αυτή την νέα τεχνολογία. • Εξετάζεται και τεκμηριώνεται η ανεξαρτησία του οικοσυστήματος DeFi με την χρήση μεθόδων συσχέτισης κρυπτονομισμάτων με παραδοσιακούς χρηματοοικονομικούς δείκτες. • Τέλος, στην εν λόγω διπλωματική αναλύονται μηχανισμοί αποκεντρωμένης χρηματοδότησης, οι οποίοι μπορούν να εξυπηρετήσουν την οικονομία, όπως αποκεντρωμένων ανταλλαγών και συναλλαγών κρυπτογράφησης σε αγορές δανεισμού και δανειοδότησης. Ωστόσο γίνεται σαφές ότι οι οικονομικές δυνάμεις που επιτρέπουν στους μεσάζοντες να κατέχουν την ισχύ στην αγορά στον παραδοσιακό χρηματοοικονομικό τομέα, εξακολουθούν να υπάρχουν στον κόσμο του DeFi, εδώ αναφέρονται ως φάλαινες. Δεν είναι ξεκάθαρο αν οι δεσμοί μεταξύ των παραδοσιακών χρηματοοικονομικών και DeFi αυξηθούν στο μέλλον, ωστόσο το DeFi θα μπορούσε να συμβάλει σημαντικά στην δημιουργία ενός σύγχρονου υβριδικού μοντέλου χρηματοδότησης και να συνεισφέρει στην διαχείριση του συστημικού κινδύνου.
Repression in the Early Republic
Creators: name: Sioli, Marco
Publisher: name: RSAJournal

description: Using recent biographies of John Adams and the acquisition of Redex, Historical American Newspapers online, by the Library of the Università degli Studi di Milano, this essay explores the political history of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 and the role of the American leadership in the implementation of these laws. Those policies derived from Adams’s experience and political judgment, but at same time they were strongly supported by Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton. Both feared a state of anarchy in the early American republic, but these acts against publishers, congressmen, and simple farmers were seen by the common people as a conspiracy against the young democracy. Considering two examples of people who suffered persecution—Benjamin Franklin Bache, grandson of Benjamin Franklin, charged with seditious behavior for his activities as a printer, and Congressman Albert Gallatin, a foreign-born French Swiss who settled in western Pennsylvania, charged as an illegal alien – the essay shows clearly the politics of exclusion orchestrated by the Federalist party, as well as the use of force to suppress Fries’s Rebellion in Eastern Pennsylvania, which splintered the Federalist party and fractured the presidential cabinet. In the end the Alien and Sedition Acts misjudged the “genius” of the American people, ushering the Federalists out of power.

The Reception of Cooper's “The Bravo”
Creators: name: Scannavini, Anna
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2008

description: The first book of Cooper’s European trilogy, The Bravo, directly engages problems of democracy, taking eighteenth-century Venice as a setting, and the Venetian government of that time as an instance of tyranny. Although the novel was actually aimed at comparing systems of government, investigating the dangers of oligarchic and mass mediatic power in a republic, it was received in Italy as bearing directly on the Italian situation. The choice of Venice, in particular, was resented as an attack on the memories of the Venetian independent republican rule. On the background of contemporary reception, the essay offers a parallel reading of the Venetian reviews that appeared immediately after the novel’s publication, and of the destructive article that “Cassio” famously devoted to The Bravo in the New York American. In both cases, it is argued, the agenda and political claims of the reviewers interpose themselves – although with diverse motivations and argumentations – in the reading of the novel, focusing too closely on somewhat marginal aspects. As a result, the overall structure of the book is partly devoid of content. The essay concludes by pointing out that such neglect could be a reaction to the text’s indeterminacy as to its reference in the real world.

"Chief Seattle" versus Sherman Alexie
Creators: name: Mariani, Giorgio
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2008

description: By juxtaposing the legendary figure of Chief Seattle to Sherman Alexie’s scathing remarks on the myth of the “ecological Indian,” the essay explores different ways of thinking about the relationship between Indians and the environment. The underlying argument is that there is no conclusive, stable, unalterable “Indian” perspective on the vexed question of how to best make use of reservations’ lands and natural resources. American Indian literature may be an important inspirational force in struggles to preserve the environment both on and off the reservation, but the question of what may be the distinctive contribution of an ecocritical American Indian literature to the functioning of native sovereignty remains unsettled

description: The infrared spectra of many galactic and extragalactic objects are dominated by emission features at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 11.2 μm. The carriers of these features remained a mystery for almost a decade, hence the bands were dubbed the unidentified infrared (UIR) bands. Since the mid-80's, the UIR bands are generally attributed to the IR fluorescence of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon molecules (PAHs) upon absorption of UV photons -- the PAH hypothesis. Here we review the progress made over the past 25 years in understanding the UIR bands and their carriers.

description: The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect at filling factor v = 5/2 has recently come under close scrutiny, as it may possess quasi-particle excitations obeying nonabelian statistics, a property sought for topologically protected quantum operations. Yet, its microscopic origin remains unidentified, and candidate model wave functions include those with undesirable abelian statistics. Here we report direct measurements of the electron spin polarization of the v = 5/2 FQH state using resistively detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). We find the system to be fully polarized, which unambiguously rules out the most-likely abelian contender and thus lends strong support for the v = 5/2 state being nonabelian. Our measurements reveal an intrinsically different nature of interaction in the first-excited Landau level underlying the physics at v = 5/2.

description: Ausgehend von Grundüberlegungen zu einer Kritischen Theorie des Antisemitismus werden Unterschiede von Rassismus und Antisemitismus skizziert, Gegenkonzepte zu antisemitischen Reaktionsweisen diskutiert und Ausprägungen des Antisemitismus in der politischen Rechten und Linken beschrieben. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden zentrale Varianten des Antizionismus als geopolitische Reproduktion des Antisemitismus analysiert und in ihrer Genese in der Zeit vor der israelischen Staatsgründung dargestellt. Der islamische Antisemitismus wird überblicksartig hinsichtlich historischer und gegenwärtiger islamistischer Akteure wie der Muslimbruderschaft und des „Islamischen Staates“ untersucht, um davon ausgehend den aktuellen Antisemitismus des iranischen Regimes anhand der Reaktionen der Führung in Teheran auf die Covid 19-Pandemie zu illustrieren. Die durch das iranische Regime geschaffene, aus der Kombination eines eliminatorischen Antizionismus mit dem Streben nach der Technologie der Massenvernichtung resultierende spezifische Bedrohungssituation wird als eine zentrale Herausforderung für eine praktische Kritik des Antisemitismus ausgewiesen, um abschließend eine Antisemitismusforschung einzufordern, die jegliche Ausprägung des globalen Antisemitismus umfasst und in der Lage ist, eine Gewichtung der Gefahren vorzunehmen, die von den jeweiligen antisemitischen Akteuren in aktuellen politischen Konstellationen ausgehen.

description: The Li abundances of the two components of the very metal-poor ([Fe/H]=-2.5) double-lined spectroscopic binary G166-45 (BD+26 2606) are determined separately based on high resolution spectra obtained with the Subaru Telescope High Dispersion Spectrograph and its image slicer. From the photometric colors and the mass ratio the effective temperatures of the primary and secondary components are estimated to be 6350+/-100K and 5830+/-170K, respectively. The Li abundance of the primary (A(Li)=2.23) agrees well with the Spite plateau value, while that of the secondary is slightly lower (A(Li)=2.11). Such a discrepancy of the Li abundances between the two components is previously found in the extremely metal-poor, double-lined spectroscopic binary CS22876-032, however, the discrepancy in G166-45 is much smaller. The results agree with the trends found for Li abundance as a function of effective temperature (and of stellar mass) of main-sequence stars with -3.0

Nelson models with variable coefficients arise when one replaces in the usual Nelson model the flat Minkowski metric by a static metric, allowing also the boson mass to depend on position. We study the removal of the ultraviolet cutoff.

Central Asian Brahmi palaeography: the relationships among the Tocharian, Khotanese, and old Turkic Gupta scripts

description: It has been assumed that Tocharian and Khotanese Brahmi writing were not related and that both systems arose through Indian missionary activity. But since the Central Asians had been Buddhist for at least 500 years, it is here maintained that the introduction and transmission of the Brahmi were strictly indigenous developments. It is suggested that two cultural events happening in India influenced the Khotanese to relinquish Kharosthi script and the Gandhari Prakrit .. as the media of administration and religion: the supercedence of the Kharo??ihI by the Brahmi, and the evolution of a hybrid form of Sanskrit as the lingua franca of Buddhism. In order to prove and illustrate the relationships among the Central Asian Brahmi scripts, use is made not only of character morphology but also of orthographic principles. An examination of the Turkic Brahmi reveals it to have been the intermediary between the Khotanese Formal and the Tocharian Slanting Gupta.. The dual function of the diaeresis in Tocharian as vowel and virama marking is shown to be the result of immitation of the Turks. Similarly, the parallel dual function of the Tocharian 'doublets' as vowel and virama indicators is also demonstrated as having had a Turkic (and Khotanese) origin.

description: The high precision parity violating electron scattering experiments PREX and QWEAK are sensitive to radiative corrections. In this paper we introduce the PREX experiment that measures the neutron radius of $^{208}$Pb and discuss coulomb distortion corrections. We then discuss dispersion corrections for QWEAK that aims to measure the weak charge of the proton.

Ergodic infinite group extensions of geodesic flows on translation surfaces

description: We show that generic infinite group extensions of geodesic flows on square tiled translation surfaces are ergodic in almost every direction, subject to certain natural constraints. Recently K. Frcaczek and C. Ulcigrai have shown that certain concrete staircases, covers of square-tiled surfaces, are not ergodic in almost every direction. In contrast we show the almost sure ergodicity of other concrete staircases. An appendix provides a combinatorial approach for the study of square-tiled surfaces.

description: QCD-based scaling arguments predict the predominance of longitudinal over transverse electroproduction of pions by terms $\propto Q^2$. However, data from JLAB, Cornell and DESY, covering a wide kinematical range $1 < Q^2 < 11\, {\rm GeV}^2$ and $2\, {\rm GeV} < W < 4\, {\rm GeV}$, do not show this expected behavior. At the same time standard descriptions of pion-electroproduction on nucleons have given a very good description of the longitudinal components of the cross sections. However, these very same models have failed grossly in describing the transverse component. We discuss here a common solution to these two problems by considering the contributions of high-lying ($W > 2$ GeV) nucleon resonances to pion production. The coupling strengths and form factors are obtained through hadron-parton duality. We show that an excellent description of data in a wide range of electron energies and four-momentum transfers can be obtained in such a model.

Das ‚andere’ Europa - Die Konstruktion nationaler Identität im 19. Jahrhundert und der orientalisierte Körper der ‚Spanierin’

description: Die Vorstellung der ‚maja‘, der jungen, sinnlichen spanischen Arbeiterfrau aus einfachen Verhältnissen, kursierte in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts als Ideal erotisch-‚anderer‘ Weiblichkeit in ganz Europa. In der Figur der ‚maja‘ verschmelzen dabei Vorstellungen traditionell iberischer Weiblichkeit, der ‚gitanas‘ und Flamenco-Tänzerinnen aus Andalusien sowie der ‚Orientalin‘ Nordafrikas. Der Süden Spaniens kann im Bild der Maja so die gesamte Nation vertreten; die ‚maja‘ avanciert zur nationalen Allegorie. Der Artikel behandelt das komplexe Wechselspiel von Adaption einer Außenperspektive auf die eigene Identität und Konstruktion von Nation über das allegorisierte Bild einer jungen Frau einerseits und die Mythisierung dieses Bildes in der Rezeption außerhalb Spaniens andererseits. Einzelne Elemente einer solchen feminisierten und sexualisierten Vorstellung der spanischen Nation werden differenziert betrachtet und deren Rezeptions-Kontexte analysiert und anhand von Gemälden, Fotografien und populären Bildern nachvollzogen.

description: We report on previously unobserved inter-system degeneracies in two-component equal-mass Fermi gases with interspecies zero-range interactions under isotropic harmonic confinement. Over the past 10 years, two-component Fermi gases consisting of $n_1$ spin-up and $n_2$ spin-down atoms with interspecies zero-range interactions have become a paradigm for modeling condensed matter systems, nuclear matter and neutron matter. We show that the eigen energies of the $(n_1+1,n_2-1)$ system are degenerate with the eigen energies of the $(n_1,n_2)$ system for any s-wave scattering length $a_s$, including infinitely large, positive and negative $a_s$. The existence of the inter-system degeneracies is demonstrated explicitly for few-body systems with $n_1+n_2=4, 5$ and 6. The degeneracies and associated symmetries are explained within a group theoretical framework.
