description: We have performed a Monte Carlo study of the classical XY-model on two-dimensional Sierpinski gaskets of several cluster sizes. From the dependence of the helicity modulus on the cluster size we conclude that there is no phase transition in this system at a finite temperature. This is in agreement with previous findings for the harmonic approximation to the XY-model on Sierpinski gasket and is analogous to the absence of finite temperature phase transition for the Ising model on fractals with a finite order of ramification.

Integrating Multiple Sources of Data to Inform Cancer Interventions: a Case Study with Arab Americans

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation engaged multiple Arab American (ArA) community stakeholders to define cancer-related needs and barriers in the ArA community in Chicago, and in turn guide the development of acceptable, culturally-congruent cancer interventions. First, I conducted a scoping review of the cancer intervention literature with ArAs to examine outcome and implementation characteristics and identify gaps and opportunities for future research. I also engaged in community-based participatory research (CBPR) with a community-based organization to assess their community’s cancer-related priorities through focus groups, and subsequently develop a responsive cancer intervention. Finally, I conducted interviews with ArA community stakeholders to explore their perceptions of ArA cancer survivors’ needs and acceptable interventions. As a whole, this dissertation revealed that although multilevel cancer interventions across the cancer control continuum are needed to effectively address cancer disparities with ArAs, existing cancer interventions have disproportionality focused on individual-level determinants of cancer detection. Findings also suggest that a community-academic partnership grounded in CBPR was a feasible and acceptable approach to generate and integrate locally-relevant community and academic data to inform a multi-component cancer intervention. Finally, perspectives of multiple ArA stakeholders (e.g., cancer survivors, caregivers, healthcare providers, community leaders, faith-based leaders) captured the multilevel needs experienced by ArA cancer survivors, as well as acceptable multilevel interventions to address these needs. Overall, this dissertation generated opportunities to develop and test acceptable cancer interventions with the ArA community in Chicago. Addressing the cancer needs of ArAs will require tackling fundamental research barriers unique to this population, including funding and community engagement challenges. For example, ArAs should be considered a health disparity population by the National Institutes of Health to increase funding availability and incentivize research with this understudied population. To achieve this long-term goal, academic researchers should engage in equitable partnerships with local ArA communities to generate nuanced, locally-relevant data, as well help make the case for funding allocation to address their unique needs. Simultaneously, the dynamics and successes of these partnerships should be documented. Additionally, academic researchers should support community-based advocacy efforts to recognize ArAs as separate from Whites, to achieve the mutually beneficial goal of visibility and representation.

description: The polarized antiquark distributions in the proton can be measured by studying spin asymmetries in vector boson production in longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions. The STAR and PHENIX experiments at BNL RHIC have reported first observations of single spin asymmetries in $W^\pm$-production most recently. We compute the QCD corrections to single and double spin asymmetries, taking account of the leptonic decay of the $W^\pm$ boson and of restrictions on the kinematical acceptance of the detectors. The QCD corrections have only a small impact on the asymmetries, such that a reliable extraction of the polarized antiquark distributions can be envisaged once more precise measurements are made.

description: For measuring the temporal profile of the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) an experimental setup based on electro-optical spectral decoding (EOSD) is currently being implemented. The EOSD technique allows single-shot, phase-sensitive measurements of the far-field radiation on a turn-by-turn basis at rates in the MHz range. Therefore, the resulting THz radiation from the dynamics of the bunch evolution, e.g. the microbunching, can be observed with high temporal resolution. This far-field setup is part of the distributed sensor network at KARA. Additionally to the information acquired from the near-field EOSD spectral decoding and the horizontal bunch profile monitor, it enables to monitor the longitudinal phase-space of the bunch. In this contribution, the characterization of the far-field setup is summarized and its implementation is discussed.

description: Since the recent results of direct detection experiments at low mass, many authors have revisited the case of light (1 -10) GeV WIMPs. In particular, there have been a few attempts to explain the results from the DAMA/LIBRA, CDMS and/or CoGeNT experiments by invoking neutralinos lighter than 15 GeV. Here we show that in the MSSM, such light particles are completely ruled out by the TEVATRON limits on the mass of the pseudoscalar Higgs. On the contrary, in the NMSSM, we find that light neutralinos could still be viable candidates. In fact, in some cases, they may even have an elastic scattering cross section on nucleons in the range that is needed to explain either the DAMA/LIBRA, CoGeNT or CDMS recent results. Finally, we revisit the lowest limit on the neutralino mass in the MSSM and find that neutralinos should be heavier than ~28 GeV to evade present experimental bounds.

Cysteine Proteases as Therapeutic Targets for Neurodegenerative Diseases

description: The calpain-cathepsin hypothesis (CCH) predicates elevation of calpain-1 (CAPN1) and cathepsin-B (CTSB) as an underlying mechanism in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and ischemic stroke. The hypothesis is supported by studies with small molecule inhibitors, such as NYC-438, that reduce cognitive deficits in AD mouse models. Though they display efficacy, NYC-438, a nonselective CAPN1/CTSB inhibitor and selective CAPN1 inhibitors reported in the literature exhibit poor brain bioavailability. We hypothesized that the CCH could account for dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and, in particular, brain endothelial cell (BEC) dysfunction. To test this theory and further characterize selective vs nonselective targeting of CAPN1 vs CTSB, we developed selective small molecule inhibitors, and characterized their neuroprotective efficacy in in vitro ischemia-reperfusion injury and neuroinflammatory attenuation in an in vivo mTBI mouse model of oxidative-stress (OS). Various inhibition strategies provided the expected dose-dependent neuroprotection in primary neurons and mitigated the post-mTBI neuroinflammatory surge seen in the OS-mice. Furthermore, we revealed that our in vivo model presents with significant BBB-dysfunction, evidenced by increased sodium fluorescein extravasation and MMP-9 as well as loss in tight junction protein and eNOS. These effects were mitigated by a single injection of our inhibitors 24 hours post trauma. We then isolated BECs from WT and OS mice and saw enhanced susceptibility in the OS-BECs after ischemia-reperfusion injury, suggesting a role for oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in exacerbating CAPN1/CTSB mediated BBB damage. BECs from WT and OS mice provide a platform to assess the role of CCH in cell viability and tight junction proteins, and provides support for targeting CAPN1/CTSB in protecting the BBB, either in early life trauma, such as TBI, or in ADRD itself. This work establishes CCH inhibition as a potential prophylactic therapeutic strategy to protect the neurovascular unit.

description: To produce small-scale high-field undulators for table-top free electron lasers (FELs), compact designs have been proposed using high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes, which show both large critical current densities and high critical magnetic fields with a total tape thickness of about 50 μm and a width of up to 12 mm. Instead of winding coils, a meander structure can be laser-scribed directly into the superconductor layer, guiding the current path on a quasi-sinusoidal trajectory. Stacking pairs of such scribed tapes allows the generation of the desired sinusoidal magnetic fields above the tape plane, along the tape axis. Two practically feasible designs are presented, which are currently under construction at KIT: A coil concept wound from a single structured tape with a length of 15 m, which is a progression of a design that has been presented already in the past, as well as a novel stacked and soldered design, made from 25 cm long structured tapes, soldered in a zig-zag-pattern. In this contribution the designs are briefly recapped and the experimental progress is presented.

description: In the $2$-dimensional $n$-body problem, $n\ge 3$, in spaces of constant curvature, $κ\ne 0$, we study polygonal homographic solutions. We first provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of these orbits and then consider the case of regular polygons. We further use this criterion to show that, for any $n\ge 3$, the regular $n$-gon is a polygonal homographic orbit if and only if all masses are equal. Then we prove the existence of relative equilibria of non-equal masses on the sphere of curvature $κ>0$ for $n=3$ in the case of scalene triangles. Such triangular relative equilibria occur only along fixed geodesics and are generated from fixed points of the sphere. Finally, through a classification of the isosceles case, we prove that not any three masses can form a triangular relative equilibrium.

It’s hip to unzip : open land communes and their neighbours in northern California, 1966-1979
Creators: name: Miller, John Stuart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: This essay considers the histories of two countercultural, back-to-the-land communes located in northern California: Siskiyou County’s Black Bear Ranch and Sonoma County’s Morning Star Ranch. Both of these communes were highly influenced by the concept of Open Land, according to which anyone may freely live in a given space, particularly those individuals rejected or alienated by urban modernity. I examine the ways in which these communes related to and were shaped by their rural neighbours, as well as the local state, asserting the importance of the surrounding community in effecting events at each commune. I argue that positive relations with neighbours determined the continued viability of these communes, and that these positive relations in turn required a compromise of original founding principles including Open Land. I further uncover the changing perceptions rural people held of hippie communards, and contextualize the back-to-the-land ideal within broader American traditions of frontier settlement and reinvention.

description: We probe the limits of nonlinear wave spreading in disordered chains which are known to localize linear waves. We particularly extend recent studies on the regimes of strong and weak chaos during subdiffusive spreading of wave packets [EPL {\bf 91}, 30001 (2010)] and consider strong disorder, which favors Anderson localization. We probe the limit of infinite disorder strength and study Fröhlich-Spencer-Wayne models. We find that the assumption of chaotic wave packet dynamics and its impact on spreading is in accord with all studied cases. Spreading appears to be asymptotic, without any observable slowing down. We also consider chains with spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearity which give further support to our findings and conclusions.

description: FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- und Test-Experiment) at KIT is a compact linac-based test facility for novel accelerator technology and a source of intense THz radiation. FLUTE is designed to provide a wide range of electron bunch charges from the pC- to nC-range, high electric fields up to 1.2 GV/m, and ultra-short THz pulses down to the fs-timescale. The electrons are generated at the RF photoinjector, where the electron gun is driven by a commercial titanium sapphire laser. In this kind of setup the electron beam properties are determined by the photoinjector, but more importantly by the characteristics of the laser pulses. Spatial light modulators can be used to transversely and longitudinally shape the laser pulse, offering a flexible way to shape the laser beam and subsequently the electron beam, influencing the produced THz pulses. However, nonlinear effects inherent to the laser manipulation (transportation, compression, third harmonic generation) can distort the original pulse. In this paper we propose to use machine learning methods to manipulate the laser and electron bunch, aiming to generate tailor-made THz pulses. The method is demonstrated experimentally in a test setup.

description: We consider the security of the BB84, six-state and SARG04 quantum key distribution protocols when the eavesdropper doesn't have access to a quantum memory. In this case, Eve's most general strategy is to measure her ancilla with an appropriate POVM designed to take advantage of the post-measurement information that will be released during the sifting phase of the protocol. After an optimization on all the parameters accessible to Eve, our method provides us with new bounds for the security of six-state and SARG04 against a memoryless adversary. In particular, for the six-state protocol we show that the maximum QBER for which a secure key can be extracted is increased from 12.6% (for collective attacks) to 20.4% with the memoryless assumption.

Protection Of Whistleblowers In The Nigerian Workplace With Reference To The Whistleblowing Regulatory Frameworks In The United Kingdom And United States
Creators: name: Nwoha, Onyeka
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Whistleblowers in the workplace play a critical role in exposing wrongdoing by virtue of their proximity and access to information. The presence of a statutory framework that protects whistleblowers from potential victimisation and provides clear communication procedures and channels for reporting wrongdoing can be a valuable tool for encouraging whistleblowers to come forward with legitimate disclosures.At present, there is no statutory framework in the form of a stand-alone whistleblower protection law that provides legal protection for whistleblowers in both the public and private sectors in Nigeria. This thesis argues that there is a need for a timely statutory intervention by means of a detailed statutory regime for whistleblower protection. This thesis critically examines how whistleblowers can be effectively protected if the Nigerian legislature decides to pass a whistleblowing protection law in Nigeria. The thesis explores the current position of whistleblowers and questions the effectiveness of the current piecemeal frameworks in Nigeria. The discussion also undertakes an extensive analysis of past whistleblowing protection bills with the aim of appreciating the considerations that informed the development of legislation for the protection of whistleblowers.The UK and US acted on the lessons learned from the scandals which they experienced in various sectors of their economy by formulating and implementing comprehensive whistleblowing protection laws to encourage the disclosure of wrongdoing and provide legal protection for whistleblowers. The thesis employs a comparative analysis and proposes that cogent lessons can be drawn from the UK and US whistleblowing regulatory frameworks which can be adapted to fit into the Nigerian context to provide whistleblowers with legal protection. In examining the approach to be adopted, the thesis provides valuable insights on the enforceability and practicability of the proposed initiatives for encouraging disclosures and protecting whistleblowers in the Nigerian workplace.

Classical radiation by free-falling charges in de Sitter spacetime

description: We study the classical radiation emitted by free-falling charges in de Sitter spacetime coupled to different kinds of fields. Specifically we consider the cases of the electromagnetic field, linearized gravity and scalar fields with arbitrary mass and curvature coupling. Given an arbitrary set of such charges, there is a generic result for sufficiently late times which corresponds to each charge being surrounded by a field zone with negligible influence from the other charges. Furthermore, we explicitly find a static solution in the static patch adapted to a charge (implying no energy loss by the charge) which can be regularly extended beyond the horizon to the full de Sitter spacetime, and show that any other solution decays at late times to this one. On the other hand, for non-conformal scalar fields the inertial observers naturally associated with spatially flat coordinates will see a non-vanishing flux far from the horizon, which will fall off more slowly than the inverse square of the distance for sufficiently light fields (m^2 + ξR < 5H^2/4) and give rise to a total integrated flux that grows unboundedly with the radius. This can be qualitatively interpreted as a consequence of a classical parametric amplification of the field generated by the charge due to the time-dependent background spacetime. Most of these results do not hold for massless minimally coupled scalar fields, whose special behavior is analyzed separately.

description: We investigate the level-density $σ(x)$ and level-spacing distribution $p(s)$ of random matrices $M=AF\neq M^{\dagger}$ where $F$ is a (diagonal) inner-product and $A$ is a random, real symmetric or complex Hermitian matrix with independent entries drawn from a probability distribution $q(x)$ with zero mean and finite higher moments. Although not Hermitian, the matrix $M$ is self-adjoint with respect to $F$ and thus has purely real eigenvalues. We find that the level density $σ_F(x)$ is independent of the underlying distribution $q(x)$, is solely characterized by $F$, and therefore generalizes Wigner's semicircle distribution $σ_W(x)$. We find that the level-spacing distributions $p(s)$ are independent of $q(x)$, are dependent upon the inner-product $F$ and whether $A$ is real or complex, and therefore generalize the Wigner's surmise for level spacing. Our results suggest $F$-dependent generalizations of the well-known Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) and Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) classes.

Trying to Stand Out: Analysis of "Extracurricular" Activities Of Otolaryngology Residency Applicants

description: Medical students strategically engage in extracurricular activities outside the formal curriculum to distinguish themselves from peers and improve their candidacy for a residency program. This study explores longitudinal characteristics and prevalence of these activities reported by applicants to competitive Canadian OTL-HNS residency across time. A retrospective, descriptive study was designed to review specific sections of the curriculum vitae of applicants to OTL-HNS programs in Canada. These sections were self-reported, and included research productivity, involvement in volunteer and leadership activities, membership in associations, and honours / awards granted. Analysis of the results relied on descriptive statistics. Between 2013 to 2017, a total of 267 applicants reported a median of 12.6 research publications, 9.6 volunteer activities, 6 leadership activities, 6 association memberships and 9.8 honours / awards. At least one applicant every year reported having over 46 publications, and over 32 honours/ awards. Applicants were younger over time, with proportions of applicants over 30 years old decreasing from 56% in 2013 to 9% in 2017. Medical students applying to Canadian OTL-HNS residency programs are reporting consistently high rates of extracurricular activities. As students pursue becoming the “ideal” candidate with unobtainable and unsustainable qualifications, residency selection committees have difficulty in differentiating between quality applicants. We urge key stakeholders to challenge and rethink the current application process, to broaden the selection criteria, and to adapt a more holistic assessment of medical students aligned with residency goals and expectations toward competency.

description: Zufriedenheit spielt eine zentrale Rolle bei der Evaluation des „Gelingens“ von Leben. Dies spiegelt sich auch in der Literatur zu Bildung und Erwerbstätigkeit wider, die immer wieder Determinanten von Zufriedenheit in diesen fundamentalen Lebensbereichen identifizieren will. Selten wird dabei jedoch die Verbindung von Bildung und Erwerbstätigkeit selbst zugrunde gelegt, eine Lücke, der sich diese Arbeit für den spezifischen Fall deutscher Hochschulabsolvent*innen widmet. Anhand von Daten des Absolventenpanels 2009 des Deutschen Zentrums für Hochschul- und Wissenschaftsforschung (DZHW) werden mit Strukturgleichungsmodellen Teilbereiche der Zufriedenheit mit Studium und Beruf gefunden und deren Zusammenhang beleuchtet. Diese Untersuchung erfolgt im Bewusstsein um die Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheiten in Studium und Beruf und untersucht dementsprechend den weiteren Zusammenhang mit Bildungshintergrund, Migrationshintergrund und Geschlecht. Die Analysen zeigen einerseits, dass sich die Zufriedenheit mit dem Studium auf die Zufriedenheit mit dem Beruf auswirkt und zum anderen Personen abhängig von ihrem Bildungshintergrund und Geschlecht unterschiedlich zufrieden mit verschiedenen Dimensionen von Studium und Beruf sind. Für Personen mit Migrationshintergrund kann ein solcher Zusammenhang nicht ausgeschlossen werden.
description: Satisfaction is a central factor of the evaluation of the “good life” which can also be observed in the literature regarding education and work in which it is often deemed necessary to indicate determinants of satisfaction with both. However, it is only seldom the case that researchers investigate the connection of satisfaction with education and work satisfaction itself. This paper, therefore, wants to examine the association of satisfaction with studies and with the employment for German higher education graduates. For this end, data of the Graduate Panel 2009 by the German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science (DZHW) are used and the method of structural equation modelling employed. Since there are substantial processes of reproduction of social inequality known in both education and work in general additional attention is given to the examination of differences based of educational background, migration background and gender. The analyses show that satisfaction with studies indeed influences satisfaction with employment. Furthermore, differences in satisfaction with some factors of satisfaction based on educational background and gender are observed, while differences based on migration background cannot be ruled out entirely.

description: Colloidal particles provide an efficient mean of building multiple scale structured materials from colloidal dispersions. In this Brief Report, we account for experimental evidence on the formation of a colloidal cluster array at a three-phase contact line. We study the influence of low frequency external alternating electric fields on a diluted colloidal dispersion opened to the air. We focus on the cluster formation and their evolution in the meniscus by measuring characteristic times and lengths. We observe that the clusters are separated by a well-defined length and that, in our experimental conditions, they survive between five a fifteen minutes. These new results could be of technological relevance in building tailored colloidal structures in non-patterned substrates.

Quantum Number Density Asymmetries Within QCD Jets Correlated With Lambda Polarization
Creators: name: Sivers, Dennis

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The observation of jets in a variety of hard-scattering processes has allowed the quantitative study of perturbative quantum chromodynamics (PQCD) by comparing detailed theoretical predictions with a wide range of experimental data. This paper examines how some important, nonperturbative, facets of QCD involving the internal dynamical structure of jets can be studied by measuring the spin orientation of Lambda particles produced in these jets. The measurement of the transverse polarization for an individual Lambda within a QCD jet permits the definition of spin-directed asymmetries in local quantum number densities in rapidity space (such as charge, strangeness and baryon number densities) involving neighboring hadrons in the jet. These asymmetries can only be generated by soft, nonperturbative dynamical mechanisms and such measurements can provide insight not otherwise accessible into the color rearrangement that occurs during the hadronization stage of the fragmentation process.

Fatigue of Unidirectional Fiber Composite and Static Strength of its Components. Simplified Daniels-Epsilon Sequence

description: A simple method is proposed for obtaining such a description of the average fatigue curve (and residual static strength) of a unidirectional fiber composite (UFC), which is directly related to the parameters of the static strength distribution of its components (SSDC), which are the longitudinal items bearing the main longitudinal load. This description makes it possible to predict changes in the fatigue life of the UFC when the SSDC changes. The method is based on a Daniels_epsilon_sequence (DeS), which is a modification of Daniels_sequence (DS) which takes into account the short-term damaging effects of one separate cycle of fatigue loading. Here we use a specific version of it in which the number of components of a critical link of UFC is equal to infinity. We call this version as simplified DeS. The concept of a DeS_fatigue equivalent distribution (DeS_FED) of local static strength of LI is introduced. The DS the calculations of fatigue life using the DeS_FED coinside with the test data. The simplified DeS model studied in this article should be used for preliminary analysis of the mean SN curve. For the more detailed analysis should be used the models considered by author some earlier which include the use of the theory of Markov processes and the Monte Carlo method, which allows modeling and statistical aspects of the problems under consideration, but require much more time-consuming calculations. At the end of the paper a numerical example of processing the fatigue test data and prediction a new fatigue life at some SSDC changes are given.

Examining the impact of nurse practitioner-led group medical visits for patients with chronic conditions in primary care
Creators: name: Housden, Laura Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The aging Canadian population, increasing incidence of chronic conditions, and rising healthcare costs have contributed to concerns that the current healthcare system may not meet healthcare needs. Canada has sought innovative ways to meet patients’ healthcare needs through reforms such as group medical visits (GMVs) and care by nurse practitioners (NPs). While studies have shown that care with NPs and GMVs is effective, there is limited evidence examining how NPs engage in innovative care delivery. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of NP-led GMVs for patients with chronic conditions in primary care. This study used multiple methods, including a systematic review and meta- analysis and a multisite case study (N=3). The systematic review and meta-analysis included studies published between 1947 and 2012 for patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes who attended GMVs. Of the 94 studies identified, 13 met final inclusion criteria. Group medical visits had a positive effect on clinical and patient-reported outcomes, with significant reductions in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c reduction −0.46%, 95% confidence interval −0.80% to −0.31%). The case study consisted of two cases where NPs were using GMVs and one where NPs were not using GMVs. Open-ended interviews with patients (N=12), providers (N=14) and 10 hours of direct observation were completed. Analysis of the data suggests that GMVs facilitated an environment that was patient centered, interprofessional and increased patients’ confidence managing chronic conditions. Furthermore, the processes of care within the GMVs disrupted power differentials in primary care, between patients and providers and amongst healthcare providers. Yet, these same power differentials constrained NPs’ ability to adopt GMVs, with NPs indicating that they had limited agency to diffuse healthcare innovations. Unique contributions of this study were a systematic review and meta-analysis of GMVs among those with diabetes and new knowledge on how power differentials influence the diffusion of innovations in primary care. These findings demonstrate that GMVs provide opportunities to meet clinical, team-based, and patient-centered healthcare objectives. Ongoing research that considers the context of practice environments, power differentials, and conditions that limit NPs ability to diffuse healthcare innovative is needed.
Short-range force detection using optically-cooled levitated microspheres

description: We propose an experiment using optically trapped and cooled dielectric microspheres for the detection of short-range forces. The center-of-mass motion of a microsphere trapped in vacuum can experience extremely low dissipation and quality factors of $10^{12}$, leading to yoctonewton force sensitivity. Trapping the sphere in an optical field enables positioning at less than 1 $μ$m from a surface, a regime where exotic new forces may exist. We expect that the proposed system could advance the search for non-Newtonian gravity forces via an enhanced sensitivity of $10^5-10^7$ over current experiments at the 1 $μ$m length scale. Moreover, our system may be useful for characterizing other short-range physics such as Casimir forces.

description: We construct a four-generation MSSM with rank-4 Yukawa matrices from intersecting D6 branes on a T^6/(Z_2 x Z_2) orientifold. The Yukawa matrices obtained provide an example of Flavor Democracy (FD), where the Yukawa couplings are all nearly equal. Mass hierarchies may then be generated by slight perturbations away from FD. We find that it is possible to obtain hierarchical masses for the quarks and leptons of each generation and mixings between them. In addition, the tree-level gauge couplings are unified at the string scale. Finally, we also construct similar models with one, two, and three generations in which the rank of the Yukawa matrices is equal to the number of generations in each model.

On new variational principles as alternatives to the Palatini method

description: A variational principle was recently suggested by Goenner, where an independent metric generates the spacetime connection. It is pointed out here that the resulting theory is equivalent to the usual Palatini theory. However, a bimetric reformulation of the variational principle leads to theories which are physically distinct from both the metric and the metric-affine ones, even for the Einstein-Hilbert action. They are obtained at a decoupling limit of C-theories, which contain also other viable generalizations of the Palatini theories.
