description: Lüscher's formula relates the elastic scattering phase shifts to the two-particle energy levels in a finite cubic box. The original formula was obtained for elastic scattering of two massive spinless particles in the center of mass frame. In this paper, we consider the case for the scattering of a spin 1/2 particle with a spinless particle in multi-channel scattering. A generalized relation between the energy of two particle system and the scattering matrix elements is established. We first obtain this relation using quantum-mechanics in both center-of-mass frame and in a general moving frame. The result is then generalized to quantum field theory using methods outlined in Ref. \cite{Hansen:2012tf}. We verify that the results obtained using both methods are equivalent up to terms that are exponentially suppressed in the box size.

description: We present measurements of pion elliptic flow ($v_2$) in Au+Au collisions at $\sNN =$ 200, 62.4, 39, 27 and 19.6 GeV, as a function of event-by-event charge asymmetry ($A_{\pm}$), based on data from the STAR experiment at RHIC. We find that $π^-$ ($π^+$) elliptic flow linearly increases (decreases) with charge asymmetry for most centrality bins and for all the beam energies under study. The slope parameter ($r$) from $v_2(A_\pm)$ difference between $π^-$ and $π^+$ shows a centrality dependency similar with the calculations with Chiral Magnetic Wave. The measurements of charge separation with respect to the reaction plane in search of Local Parity Violation and Chiral Magnetic Effect are also presented for Au+Au collisions at $\sNN =$ 200, 62.4, 39, 27, 19.6, 11.5 and 7.7 GeV, and for U+U collisions at 193 GeV.

description: Background:Although evaluations of breast cancer screening programs frequently estimate quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) losses by stage, other breast cancer characteristics influence treatment and vary by mode of detection – i.e. whether the cancer is detected through screening (screen-detected), between screening rounds (interval-detected) or outside screening (community-detected). Here, we estimate the association between early-stage invasive breast cancer (ESIBC) characteristics and treatment-related QALY losses. Methods:Using clinicopathological and treatment information from 675 women managed for ESIBC, we estimated the average five-year treatment-related QALY loss by detection group. We then used regression analysis to estimate the extent to which known cancer characteristics and the detection mode, are associated with treatment and treatment-related QALY losses. Results:Community-detected cancers had the largest QALY loss (0.76 QALYs [95% CI 0.73;0.80]), followed by interval-detected cancers (0.75 QALYs [95% CI 0.68;0.82]) and screen-detected cancers (0.69 QALYs [95%CI 0.67;0.71]). Adverse prognostic factors more common in community-detected and interval-detected breast cancers (large tumours, lymph node involvement, high grade) were largely associated with QALY losses from mastectomies and chemotherapy. Receptor-positive subtypes, more common in screen-detected cancers, were associated with QALY losses related to endocrine therapy. Conclusions:The associations between ESIBC characteristics and treatment-related QALY losses should be considered when evaluating breast cancer screening and treatment strategies.

description: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of sequences starting with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), afatinib and osimertinib, for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive (Exon 19 deletion or L858R) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), stages IIIB – IV in Colombia. A partitioned survival model was designed, using information from global and progression-free survival curves. For first and second-generation TKI, second line treatment was assumed according to the presence of T790M mutation to define the use of osimertinib or chemotherapy. The cost of the states without progression and post-progression was estimated using the base case approach, identified through consultation with clinical experts. The cost of treatment starting with afatinib in the first line was of 222,247 USD (1 USD = 3171.99 COP) and produced 1.36 QALYs. The strategy with afatinib was dominant with respect to that of first line TKI (227,289 USD and 1.34 QALY). The strategy with osimertinib resulted in more QALYs and higher costs, with ICERs of 35,062 USD, exceeding the current willingness to pay threshold for Colombia. Treatment starting with afatinib in the first line is dominant with respect to the strategy with first line TKI. The ICER of osimertinib sequence exceeds the threshold when compared with afatinib one.

description: A compact formula for the stress tensor inside a self-gravitating, triaxial ellipsoid in an arbitrary rotation state is given. It contains no singularity in the incompressible medium limit. The stress tensor and the quality factor model are used to derive a solution for the energy dissipation resulting in the damping (short axis mode) or excitation (long axis) of wobbling. In the limit of an ellipsoid of revolution, we compare our solution with earlier ones and show that, with appropriate corrections, the differences in damping times estimates are much smaller than it has been claimed. This version implements corrections of misprints found in the MNRAS published text.

description: Objectives: To estimate the clinical and economic burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in established (EST) and emerging markets (EMG). Methods: Three systematic literature reviews were conducted in MEDLINE and Embase to capture all relevant publications reporting 1) the epidemiology of T2D and complications in T2D and 2) the economic burden of T2D and associated complications. Results: In total, 294 studies were included in this analysis. Evidence indicates a high and increasing overall prevalence of T2D globally, ranging up to 23% in EMG markets and 14% in EST markets. Undiagnosed cases were higher in EMG versus EST markets (up to 67% vs 38%), potentially due to a lack of education and disease awareness in certain regions, that could lead to important clinical and economic consequences. Poor glycemic control was associated with the development of several complications (e.g. retinopathy, cardiovascular diseases and nephropathy) that increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. Direct costs were up to 9-fold higher in patients with vs without T2D-related complications. Conclusions: The burden of T2D, related complications and inherent costs are higher in emerging versus established market countries. This review explores potential strategies to reduce costs and enhance outcomes of T2D treatment in developing countries.

description: Evidence is limited for comparative psychometric properties between EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D. Therefore, this study compared psychometric properties between those instruments using value sets from Thailand, England, and the UK in the general Thai population. A total of 1,200 participants were recruited. The agreement level was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland–Altman plots. Convergent validity with SF-12v2 was assessed by Spearman’s rho correlations. Known-group validity compared discriminant activity and sensitivity between groups. Responsiveness was assessed using standardized effect sizes (SES) and standardized response mean (SRM). Agreement between SF-6D and Thai (ICCs = 0.51) and English (ICCs = 0.52) EQ-5D-5L index scores was good. The physical functioning demonstrated moderate to strong and moderate correlations with Thai (r = 0.50) and English (r = 0.46) EQ-5D-5L index scores, whereas SF-6D index scores strongly correlated with role emotion (r = 0.81). EQ-5D-5L was better than SF-6D at discrimination and sensitivity for gender, age, education level, household income, and number of diseases. The SF-6D was more responsive than the EQ-5D-5L for the worsened group. Both SF-6D and EQ-5D-5L are valid among the general Thai population. Further studies should reinvestigate responsiveness and determine their impacts on economic analyses among patient groups.

description: Following the earlier studies on embedded unitary ensembles generated by random two-body interactions [EGUE(2)] with spin SU(2) and spin-isospin SU(4) symmetries, developed is a general formulation, for deriving lower order moments of the one- and two-point correlation functions in eigenvalues, that is valid for any EGUE(2) and BEGUE(2) ('B' stands for bosons) with $U(Ω) \otimes SU(r)$ embedding and with two-body interactions preserving $SU(r)$ symmetry. Using this formulation with $r=1$, we recover the results derived by Asaga et al [Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) 297, 344 (2002)] for spinless boson systems. Going further, new results are obtained for $r=2$ (this corresponds to two species boson systems) and $r=3$ (this corresponds to spin 1 boson systems).

description: SARAS is a correlation spectrometer purpose designed for precision measurements of the cosmic radio background and faint features in the sky spectrum at long wavelengths that arise from redshifted 21-cm from gas in the reionization epoch. SARAS operates in the octave band 87.5-175 MHz. We present herein the system design arguing for a complex correlation spectrometer concept. The SARAS design concept provides a differential measurement between the antenna temperature and that of an internal reference termination, with measurements in switched system states allowing for cancellation of additive contaminants from a large part of the signal flow path including the digital spectrometer. A switched noise injection scheme provides absolute spectral calibration. Additionally, we argue for an electrically small frequency-independent antenna over an absorber ground. Various critical design features that aid in avoidance of systematics and in providing calibration products for the parametrization of other unavoidable systematics are described and the rationale discussed. The signal flow and processing is analyzed and the response to noise temperatures of the antenna, reference termination and amplifiers is computed. Multi-path propagation arising from internal reflections are considered in the analysis, which includes a harmonic series of internal reflections. We opine that the SARAS design concept is advantageous for precision measurement of the absolute cosmic radio background spectrum; therefore, the design features and analysis methods presented here are expected to serve as a basis for implementations tailored to measurements of a multiplicity of features in the background sky at long wavelengths, which may arise from events in the dark ages and subsequent reionization era.

description: Over the last few years, the number of known eclipsing radio millisecond pulsar systems in the Galactic field has dramatically increased, with many being associated with Fermi gamma-ray sources. All are in tight binaries (orbital period < 24 hr) with many being classical "black widows" which have very low mass companions (companion mass Mc << 0.1 Msol) but some are "redbacks" with low mass (Mc ~ 0.2 - 0.4Msol) companions which are probably non-degenerate. These latter are systems where the mass transfer process may have only temporarily halted, and so are transitional systems between low mass X-ray binaries and ordinary binary millisecond pulsars. Here we review the new discoveries and their multi-wavelength properties, and briefly discuss models of shock emission, mass determinations, and evolutionary scenarios.

description: Background Protein domain ranking is a fundamental task in structural biology. Most protein domain ranking methods rely on the pairwise comparison of protein domains while neglecting the global manifold structure of the protein domain database. Recently, graph regularized ranking that exploits the global structure of the graph defined by the pairwise similarities has been proposed. However, the existing graph regularized ranking methods are very sensitive to the choice of the graph model and parameters, and this remains a difficult problem for most of the protein domain ranking methods. Results To tackle this problem, we have developed the Multiple Graph regularized Ranking algorithm, MultiG- Rank. Instead of using a single graph to regularize the ranking scores, MultiG-Rank approximates the intrinsic manifold of protein domain distribution by combining multiple initial graphs for the regularization. Graph weights are learned with ranking scores jointly and automatically, by alternately minimizing an ob- jective function in an iterative algorithm. Experimental results on a subset of the ASTRAL SCOP protein domain database demonstrate that MultiG-Rank achieves a better ranking performance than single graph regularized ranking methods and pairwise similarity based ranking methods. Conclusion The problem of graph model and parameter selection in graph regularized protein domain ranking can be solved effectively by combining multiple graphs. This aspect of generalization introduces a new frontier in applying multiple graphs to solving protein domain ranking applications.

description: We study relation between stochastic quantization and holographic Wilsonian renormalization group flow. Considering stochastic quantization of the boundary on-shell actions with the Dirichlet boundary condition for certain $AdS$ bulk gravity theories, we find that the radial flows of double trace deformations in the boundary effective actions are completely captured by stochastic time evolution with identification of the $AdS$ radial coordinate `$r$' with the stochastic time '$t$' as $r=t$. More precisely, we investigate Langevin dynamics and find an exact relation between radial flow of the double trace couplings and 2-point correlation functions in stochastic quantization. We also show that the radial evolution of double trace deformations in the boundary effective action and the stochastic time evolution of the Fokker-Planck action are the same. We demonstrate this relation with a couple of examples: (minimally coupled)massless scalar fields in $AdS_2$ and U(1) vector fields in $AdS_4$.

description: Background: This study aims to present an overview and critical appraisal of all previous studies comparing costs and outcomes of the different modes of fixation in total hip arthroplasty (THA). A secondary aim is to provide conclusions regarding the most cost-effective mode of implant fixation per gender and age-specific population in THA, based on high quality studies. Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs) comparing different modes of implant fixation in THA. Analysis of results was done with solely CEAs that had a high methodological quality. Results: A total of 12 relevant studies were identified and presented, of which 5 were considered to have the methodological rigor for inclusion in the analysis of results. These studies found that either cemented or hybrid fixation was the most cost-effective implant fixation mode for most age- and gender-specific subgroups. Conclusion: Currently available well performed CEAs generally support the use of cemented and hybrid fixation for all age-groups relevant for THA and both genders. However, these findings were mainly based on a single database and depended on assumptions made in the studies’ methodology. Issues discussed in this paper have to be considered and future work is needed.

description: We propose the concept of adaptable processes as a way of overcoming the limitations that process calculi have for describing patterns of dynamic process evolution. Such patterns rely on direct ways of controlling the behavior and location of running processes, and so they are at the heart of the adaptation capabilities present in many modern concurrent systems. Adaptable processes have a location and are sensible to actions of dynamic update at runtime; this allows to express a wide range of evolvability patterns for concurrent processes. We introduce a core calculus of adaptable processes and propose two verification problems for them: bounded and eventual adaptation. While the former ensures that the number of consecutive erroneous states that can be traversed during a computation is bound by some given number k, the latter ensures that if the system enters into a state with errors then a state without errors will be eventually reached. We study the (un)decidability of these two problems in several variants of the calculus, which result from considering dynamic and static topologies of adaptable processes as well as different evolvability patterns. Rather than a specification language, our calculus intends to be a basis for investigating the fundamental properties of evolvable processes and for developing richer languages with evolvability capabilities.

This system can be viewed as a nonlinear extension of the celebrated model introduced by Landau and Zener. We show how the nonlinear system may appear from different physical models. We focus our attention on the large time behavior of the solution. We show the existence of a nonlinear scattering operator, which is reminiscent of long range scattering for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, and which can be compared with its linear counterpart.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The functional renormalization group equation with a compactly supported smooth (CSS) regulator function is considered. It is demonstrated that in an appropriate limit the CSS regulator recovers the optimized one and it has derivatives of all orders. The more generalized form of the CSS regulator is shown to reduce to all major type of regulator functions (exponential, power-law) in appropriate limits. The CSS regulator function is tested by studying the critical behavior of the bosonized two-dimensional quantum electrodynamics in the local potential approximation and the sine-Gordon scalar theory for d<2 dimensions beyond the local potential approximation. It is shown that a similar smoothing problem in nuclear physics has already been solved by introducing the so called Salamon-Vertse potential which can be related to the CSS regulator.

description: Background: The aim of this study is to assess treatment patterns and pharmaco-utilization in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in Italy. Methods: A retrospective analysis using administrative databases of six Local Health Units was performed. All adult patients with PsA diagnosis and ≥1 prescription for biologic/targeted-synthetic (b/ts) disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) from January 2010 to March 2017 were included. The date of first b/tsDMARD prescription was defined index-date. Follow-up lasted 1-year post index-date. Patients without b/tsDMARDs prescription pre index-date were defined bionaïve. Results: Of the 1,056 patients included, 33% received adalimumab, 30% etanercept, 10% golimumab, 9% secukinumab, 7% infliximab, 6% ustekinumab, 4% certolizumab, and 1% apremilast. During follow-up, persistence with b/tsDMARDs was observed in 79.8% of patients, 10.8% switched therapies, dose change occurred in 15.8% of patients, 47.4% received an add-on. Among bionaïve patients (n = 591), 67.0% were persistent with b/tsDMARDs, 10.1% switched therapy, 14.5% required a dose change and 45.8% an add-on. Discontinuation was observed in 10.6% of total PsA population and in 24.8% of bionaïve patients. Conclusion: This analysis provided insights on drug utilization patterns for PsA in an Italian real-world setting. Our results show that treatment regimen changes occur in a high proportion of PsA patients.

description: Background: Obesity is associated with increased societal costs, primarily due to its comorbidities. The objective of this study was to estimate the 3-year attributable societal costs of the first event of cardiovascular comorbidities among people with obesity. Methods: We used an incidence-based cohort study based on Danish national registries. Attributable costs of each event were calculated as the difference between costs of individuals with an event and costs incurred by matched controls. Results: We identified 58,597 individuals with a diagnosis of obesity. On average, 2,038 individuals were diagnosed annually with one or more than ten cardiovascular comorbidities between 2007 and 2013. The 3-year attributable societal costs (health-care costs plus productivity loss) for patients of working age ranged from 8,164 EUR for other ischemic heart disease to 32,203 EUR for hemorrhagic stroke. In the incidence year, costs were mainly driven by health-care costs, while productivity loss and income transfer payments were the primary drivers in subsequent years. Conclusion: The onset of obesity-related cardiovascular comorbidities affected health-care costs and work ability to an extent where sick pay and disability pension were required. Our study demonstrates the need to intensify obesity and cardiovascular disease risk factor management to prevent costly and debilitating obesity-related comorbidities.

description: Background: Alpha-2 agonists are added to local anesthetic agents to extend the duration of peripheral nerve blocks. Objective: We evaluated the effect of combining dexmedetomidine with levobupivacine with respect to duration of motor and sensory block and duration of analgesia. In our study, while the onset time of both sensory and motor blocks were shortened in the drug group, the duration of analgesia was significantly prolonged. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients of ASA grade I or II aged between 18-60 years, posted for elective upper limb surgeries were enrolled for a prospective, randomized, double-blind study. Patients were divided into two groups, the control group B and the study group BD. In group B (n = 30), 30 ml of 0.325% levobupivacaine; and in group BD (n = 30), 30 ml of 0.325% levobupivacaine + 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine were given for ultrasound guided supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Duration of motor and sensory block and time to first rescue analgesia were recorded. Results: Demographic profile and surgical characteristics were similar in both groups. The onset times for sensory and motor blocks were significantly shorter in BD group (p < 0.05), while the duration of sensory and motor blocks and duration of analgesia (DOA) was significantly longer in BD group. Heart rate level and SBP and DBP levels in group BD were significantly lower 15-20 min after block (p< 0.05). Bradycardia was observed in two patients in the group BD. No other adverse effects were observed in either of the groups. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine added as an adjuvant to levobupivacaine for supraclavicular brachial plexus block significantly shortens the onset time and prolongs the duration of sensory and motor blocks and duration of analgesia.

description: We propose a top and bottom seesaw model with partial composite top and bottom quarks. Such composite quarks and topcolor gauge bosons are bound states from supersymmetric strong dynamics by Seiberg duality. Supersymmetry breaking also induces the breaking of topcolor into the QCD gauge coupling. The low energy description of our model reduces to a complete non-minimal extension of the top seesaw model with bottom seesaw. The non-minimal nature is crucial for Higgs mixings and the appearance of light Higgs fields. The Higgs fields are bound states of partial composite particles with the lightest one compatible with a 125 GeV Higgs field which was discovered at the LHC.

description: O relacionamento humano a cada dia que passa, ganha inúmeros contornos, cada qual com suas diferenças e nuances. O ser humano na busca da mantença de sua espécie, algo estritamente animal, possui no casamento algo que possibilita seu êxito. Assim, se vê que o instituto da separação conjugal, é algo que ainda nos toma certo tempo em debate, pois começa no momento mais frágil da pessoa, quando o amor pelo outro se esvai. Portanto, na busca por tornar esse processo, que é muito doloroso a ambas as partes que dele participam, inclusive atingindo terceiros, no caso os possíveis filhos do esfacelado casal, que o Direito vem tomando novos contornos, o que possibilita o surgimento, como por exemplo, da separação extrajudicial ou administrativa, que ocorrerá em determinados casos, possibilitando o fim do relacionamento de forma mais rápida, e por conseqüência, menos dolorosas.

description: We report the results from a 2011 Suzaku observation of the nearby low-ionization BAL quasar/ULIRG Markarian 231. These data reveal that the X-ray spectrum has undergone a large variation from the 2001 XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX observations. We interpret this finding according to a scenario whereby the X-ray continuum source is obscured by a two-component partial-covering absorber with NH ~10^22 and ~10^24 cm^-2, respectively. The observed spectral change is mostly explained by a progressive appearance of the primary continuum at <10 keV due to the decrease of the covering fraction of the denser absorption component. The properties of the X-ray obscuration in Mrk 231 match well with those of the X-ray shielding gas predicted by the theoretical models for an efficient radiatively-driven acceleration of the BAL wind. In particular, the X-ray absorber might be located at the extreme base of the outflow. We measure a 2-10 keV luminosity of L(2-10) = 3.3 x 10^43 erg s^-1 for the 2011 data set, i.e. an increase of 30% with respect to the 2001 value.

Spazializzare la transizione come processo sociale, tecnico ed ecologico: il caso della Corona verde di Roma est

description: Diversi approcci alla transizione ecologica convergono verso la necessità di definire la sostenibilità su scala locale, concentrandosi sull’azione trasformativa, al tempo stesso conflittuale e cooperativa, delle iniziative dal basso. La tesi sostenuta è che questo processo può derivare da una ricombinazione in una prospettiva multiscalare tra transizione verde e digitale. Le riflessioni articolate nel contributo nascono da una ricerca-azione che promuove l’uso di ‘tecnologie civiche’ per consentire alle reti sociali esistenti di sviluppare i processi di co-creazione per valorizzare una rete ecologica urbana, portando a un radicale cambiamento del modello di sviluppo locale. Ne consegue che solo un processo di ‘deframmentazione’ sociale può portare a un processo di ‘deframmentazione’ ecologica, e che questo deve avvenire attraverso una riconfigurazione dal basso, abilitata dalle nuove tecnologie, dei modelli relazionali, insediativi e produttivi.

description: On 27 October 2016, the Extended Composition of the Appeal Chamber of the GC rendered the judgment in ECB v. Cerafogli. The judgment is particularly important because the GC intervenes again on the conditions of admissibility of staff cases. With this judgment, the GC confirmed a new exception to the rule of correspondence between the complaint and the application, holding that this rule must not be applied to a plea of illegality, which may then be raised for the first time before the EU judges. The GC's reasoning is based on the nature of the plea of illegality. The division of jurisdiction between the judges and the administration means that only the judges have the power to come to a finding of illegality of an act and, thus, the rule of correspondence, which is founded on the need to guarantee the aim of the pre-litigation procedure, which is the amicable settlement of disputes, would be worthless.

description: Tremendous growth in the demand for wireless applications such as streaming audio/videos, Skype and video games require high data rate irrespective of user's location in the cellular network. However, the Quality of Service (QoS) of users degrades at the cell boundary. Relay enhanced multi-hop cellular network is one of the cost effective solution to improve the performance of cell edge users. Optimal deployment of Fixed Relay Nodes (FRNs) is essential to satisfy the QoS requirement of edge users. We propose new schemes for channel partitioning and FRN placement in cellular networks. Path-loss, Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) experienced by users, and effects of shadowing have been considered. The analysis gives more emphasis on the cell-edge users (worst case scenario). The results show that these schemes achieve higher system performance in terms of spectral efficiency and also increase the user data rate at the cell edge.

Subjects: Child psychological abuse

high conflict separation
divorce' parental alienation

description: Parental Alienation is a serious mental condition that professionals who work with children, adolescents and adults should know. Parental Alienation is to be found mainly in situations of high conflict separation and divorce, however it exists also in some other contexts. In this article two case examples are presented. The first case example shows parental alienation in a high conflict divorce situation, the second demonstrates institutionally induced parental alienation as a consequence of wrong child sexual abuse accusations by a mentally ill neighbour. Although about thousand three hundred professional articles, book chapters and books, and also empirical studies, exist meanwhile (see website https://ckm. vumc.org/pasg) from all over the world there is still not enough awareness of Parental Alienation in professional practise. Parental Alienation is a child protection issue and the child protection authorities and the courts have to act accordingly.

description: States supported by chaotic open quantum systems fall into two categories: a majority showing instantaneous ballistic decay, and a set of quantum resonances of classically vanishing support in phase space. We present a theory describing these structures within a unified semiclassical framework. Emphasis is put on the quantum diffraction mechanism which introduces an element of probability and is crucial for the formation of resonances. Our main result are boundary conditions on the semiclassical propagation along system trajectories. Depending on whether the trajectory propagation time is shorter or longer than the Ehrenfest time, these conditions describe deterministic escape, or probabilistic quantum decay.

description: Recently, a new viewpoint on the classical c-boundary in Mathematical Relativity has been developed, the relations of this boundary with the conformal one and other classical boundaries have been analyzed, and its computation in some classes of spacetimes, as the standard stationary ones, has been carried out. In the present paper, we consider the notion of isocausality given by García-Parrado and Senovilla, and introduce a framework to carry out isocausal comparisons with standard stationary spacetimes. As a consequence, the qualitative behavior of the c-boundary (at the three levels: point set, chronology and topology) of a wide class of spacetimes, is obtained.
