description: Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the promising radio access techniques for next generation wireless networks. Opportunistic multi-user scheduling is necessary to fully exploit multiplexing gains in NOMA systems, but compared with traditional scheduling, interrelations between users' throughputs induced by multi-user interference poses new challenges in the design of NOMA schedulers. A successful NOMA scheduler has to carefully balance the following three objectives: maximizing average system utility, satisfying desired fairness constraints among the users and enabling real-time, and low computational cost implementations. In this paper, scheduling for NOMA systems under temporal fairness constraints is considered. Temporal fair scheduling leads to communication systems with predictable latency as opposed to utilitarian fair schedulers for which latency can be highly variable. It is shown that optimal system utility is achieved using a class of opportunistic scheduling schemes called threshold based strategies (TBS). One of the challenges in temporal fair scheduling for heterogeneous NOMA scenarios - where only specific users may be activated simultaneously - is to determine the set of feasible temporal shares. In this work, a variable elimination algorithm is proposed to accomplish this task. Furthermore, an (online) iterative algorithm based on the Robbins-Monro method is proposed to construct a TBS by finding the optimal thresholds for a given system utility metric. Various numerical simulations of practical scenarios are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed NOMA scheduling in static and mobile scenarios.

Low-frequency admittance of quantized Hall conductors
Creators: name: Christen, T.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a current and charge conserving theory for the low frequency admittance of a two-dimensional electron gas connected to ideal metallic contacts and subject to a quantizing magnetic field. In the framework of the edge-channel picture, we calculate the admittance up to first order with respect to frequency. The transport coefficients in first order with respect to frequency, which are called emittances, determine the charge emitted into a contact of the sample or a gate in response to an oscillating voltage applied to a contact of the sample or a nearby gate. The emittances depend on the potential distribution inside the sample which is established in response to the oscillation of the potential at a contact. We show that the emittances can be related to the elements of an electro-chemical capacitance matrix which describes a (fictitious) geometry in which each edge channel is coupled to its own reservoir. The particular relation of the emittance matrix to this electro-chemical capacitance matrix depends strongly on the topology of the edge channels: We show that edge channels which connect different reservoirs contribute with a negative capacitance to the emittance. For example, while the emittance of a two-terminal Corbino disc is a capacitance, the emittance of a two-terminal quantum Hall bar is a negative capacitance. The geometry of the edge-channel arrangement in a many-terminal setup is reflected by symmetry properties of the emittance matrix. We investigate the effect of voltage probes and calculate the longitudinal and the Hall resistances of an ideal four-terminal Hall bar for low frequencies.

The branching fractions for the decays $B^+ \to ψ(2S) K^+$, $B^+ \to ψ(2S) K^*(892)^+$, $B^0 \to ψ(2S) K^0$, and $B^0 \to ψ(2S) K^*(892)^0$ are measured to be (7.8 +- 0.7 +- 0.9) 10^{-4}$, (9.2 +- 1.9 +- 1.2) 10^{-4}$, (5.0 +- 1.1 +- 0.6) 10^{-4}$, and (7.6 +- 1.1 +- 1.0) 10^{-4}$, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The first measurement of the longitudinal polarization fraction is extracted from the angular analysis of the $B \to ψ(2S) K^*(892)$ candidates: $Γ_L / Γ= 0.45 +- 0.11 +- 0.04 $. Our measurements of the decays $B^0 \to ψ(2S) K^0$ and $B^+ \to ψ(2S) K^*(892)^+$ are first observations.

description: While the development of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) safety applications based on Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) has been extensively undergoing standardization for more than a decade, such applications are extremely missing for Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs). Nonexistence of collaborative systems between VRUs and vehicles was the main reason for this lack of attention. Recent developments in Wi-Fi Direct and DSRC-enabled smartphones are changing this perspective. Leveraging the existing V2V platforms, we propose a new framework using a DSRC-enabled smartphone to extend safety benefits to VRUs. The interoperability of applications between vehicles and portable DSRC enabled devices is achieved through the SAE J2735 Personal Safety Message (PSM). However, considering the fact that VRU movement dynamics, response times, and crash scenarios are fundamentally different from vehicles, a specific framework should be designed for VRU safety applications to study their performance. In this article, we first propose an end-to-end Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) framework to provide situational awareness and hazard detection based on the most common and injury-prone crash scenarios. The details of our VRU safety module, including target classification and collision detection algorithms, are explained next. Furthermore, we propose and evaluate a mitigating solution for congestion and power consumption issues in such systems. Finally, the whole system is implemented and analyzed for realistic crash scenarios.

description: Redevelopment has the ability to revise a community’s concept of nature as well as its historical narrative. This thesis explores these revisions in one particular case study by focusing on the current redevelopment occurring along the banks of the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. This thesis first examines the historical background of the Anacostia River by looking at the various ways that capitalism has shaped it into its current state, as well as considering the redevelopment and environmental issues surrounding the river. This thesis then reviews plans, reports, websites, published literature, and blogs from multiple D.C. city agencies, development corporations, local nonprofit groups, and local residents. Through analyzing the rhetoric of these stakeholder groups and examining a specific redevelopment project currently occurring along the Anacostia River, this thesis aims to document real life examples of the ways that local history and the concept of nature have been reconstructed and repurposed by development. The remaking and rehabilitating of D.C.’s waterfront landscapes has greatly altered the original story of the Anacostia River and the very concept of nature, sometimes to such an extent that people in the local community understand the history and ecology of the area only as an imitation of the real thing.

description: Numerous challenges, complexities, and considerations are associated with delivering Special Education supports and services. To meet the needs of students with disabilities (SWDs) in a school setting, a multidisciplinary team needs to work together closely. To create a functional foundation for collaboration, membership should include a special education teacher, school administrator, and behavior specialist. Unfortunately, these three professionals often neglect to collaborate or coordinate services, which creates an imbalance of support and power. In addition to these team members, behavior specialists or Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are typically utilized in school settings, working with students identified exhibiting emotional and behavioral disabilities (EBD) among other disabilities. Although the techniques employed by BCBAs traditionally are used to address student behaviors, they can also be utilized to enhance staff performance through organizational behavior management (OBM). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the implications of OBM techniques used by education leaders, behavior analysts, and special education teachers within the public-school context. The study utilized a multiple baseline design across participants, with a sample size of five education support professionals (ESPs) within a school for students with EBD. This study utilized an intervention package of (a) positive reinforcement, (b) a token economy system, and (c) visual feedback to increase the percentage of positive praise delivered by ESPs to students. Additionally, this research explored if using applied behavior analysis (ABA) to modify staff behaviors indicated a relationship with student performance and perceptions from participants on this approach to increasing performance.

description: A quantum scar is a wave function which displays an high intensity in the region of a classical unstable periodic orbit. Saddle scars are states related to the unstable harmonic motions along the stable manifold of a saddle point of the potential. Using a semiclassical method it is shown that, independently of the overall structure of the potential, the local dynamics of the saddle point is sufficient to insure the general existence of this type of scars and their factorized structure is obtained. Potentially useful situations are identified, where these states appear (directly or in disguise) and might be used for quantum control purposes.

description: Subjective and psychophysiological emotional responses to music from two different cultures were compared within these two cultures. Two identical experiments were conducted: the first in the Congolese rainforest with an isolated population of Mebenzélé Pygmies without any exposure to Western music and culture, the second with a group of Western music listeners, with no experience with Congolese music. Forty Pygmies and 40 Canadians listened in pairs to 19 music excerpts of 29–99 s in duration in random order (eight from the Pygmy population and 11 Western instrumental excerpts). For both groups, emotion components were continuously measured: subjective feeling (using a two- dimensional valence and arousal rating interface), peripheral physiological activation, and facial expression. While Pygmy music was rated as positive and arousing by Pygmies, ratings of Western music by Westerners covered the range from arousing to calming and from positive to negative. Comparing psychophysiological responses to emotional qualities of Pygmy music across participant groups showed no similarities. However, Western stimuli, rated as high and low arousing by Canadians, created similar responses in both participant groups (with high arousal associated with increases in subjective and physiological activation). Several low-level acoustical features of the music presented (tempo, pitch, and timbre) were shown to affect subjective and physiological arousal similarly in both cultures. Results suggest that while the subjective dimension of emotional valence might be mediated by cultural learning, changes in arousal might involve a more basic, universal response to low-level acoustical characteristics of music.

description: In this work, we address the systematic biases and random errors stemming from finite step sizes encountered in diffusion simulations. We introduce the Effective Geometry Monte Carlo (EG-MC) simulation algorithm which modifies the geometry of the receiver. We motivate our approach in a 1D toy model and then apply our findings to a spherical absorbing receiver in a 3D unbounded environment. We show that with minimal computational cost, the impulse response of this receiver can be precisely simulated using EG-MC. Afterwards, we demonstrate the accuracy of our simulations and give tight constraints on the single free parameter in EG-MC. Finally, we comment on the range of applicability of our results. While we present the EG-MC algorithm for the specific case of molecular diffusion, we believe that analogous methods with effective geometry manipulations can be utilized to approach a variety of problems in other branches of physics such as condensed matter physics and cosmological large scale structure simulations.

Two photon decays of heavy vector mesons, $B^{*}\to Bγγ$,$D^{*}\to Dγγ$, and the possible determination of the $g_{B^{*}(D^{*})B(D)π}$ and $g_{B^{*}^0B^0γ}$ couplings

description: We study the novel decays $B^{*}\to Bγγ$ and $D^{*}\to Dγγ$ using the framework of the Heavy Meson Chiral Lagrangian (HM$χ$L) to leading order in chiral perturbation theory. The branching ratios of these decays are expressed in terms of the strong $g_{B^{*}(D^{*})B(D)π}$ and the electromagnetic $g_{B^{*}(D^*)B(D)γ}$ couplings, thus providing a possible tool for their determination. In the charm case, using the experimentally determined ratios $({D^*}^{0,+}\to Dπ)/({D^*}^{0,+}\to Dγ),$ we are able to express the branching ratio as a function of the strong coupling only. We thus find $1.6\times 10^{-6}0.6.$ The expected two-photon differential distributions are presented for both ${B^{*}}^{0} \to B^0 γγ$ and ${D^{*}}^{0}\to D^0γγ,$ for different values of the couplings involved.

description: In sonar array signal processing, one of the essential objectives is mitigating the effect of loud non-stationary interfering sources. The Dominant Mode Rejection adaptive beam- former is a beamformer that is often used to detect low powered signals in the presence of high power interferers. The DMR beamformer constructs its weights using a structured co- variance estimate which is obtained by doing the principal component analysis of the sample covariance matrix (SCM). Notch depth is a parameter which quantifies how well a beam- former can attenuate an interferer. In prior work, Buck and Wage developed an analytical model that predicts average DMR notch depth as a function of interferer strength and the number of snapshots available to estimate the eigendecomposition of the SCM [IEEE Stat. Sig. Proc. Workshop, 2012]. The DMR notch depth model is based on results from random matrix theory on the accuracy of the eigenvectors of the SCM. This thesis assesses the validity of the notch depth model using data recorded with a vertical line array during the 2010 Philippine Sea Experiment. In the PhilSea10 analysis the DMR beamformer removes loud mechanical vibration noise (array strum) from the data set. Results show good agreement with theory when the experimental data satisfies the assumptions of the model.

description: The purpose of this study is to look at Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop and investigate Cather's use of history as both a foundation and inspiration for her narrative. Cather uses several "historical" documents for the structure of her book, ranging from the biography of Father Joseph P. Machebeuf to the frescoes of St. Genevieve by the Puvis de Chavannes. It has also been commonly argued that Cather's representations of some historical figures in this narrative do not accurately reflect historical record. This study will examine Cather's representation of certain historical figures against the commonly held historical images of these persons. This study raises questions about the nature of both historical and literary interpretation and the relevance both have in relation to our reading of Cather's historical work.

description: We performed sensitive observations of the N15ND+(1-0) and 15NND+(1-0) lines toward the prestellar core L1544 using the IRAM 30m telescope. The lines are not detected down to 3 sigma levels in 0.2 km/s channels of around 6 mK. The non-detection provides the lower limit of the 14N/15N ratio for N2D+ of ~700-800, which is much higher than the elemental abundance ratio in the local ISM of ~200-300. The result indicates that N2 is depleted in 15N in the central part of L1544, because N2D+ preferentially traces the cold dense gas, and because it is a daughter molecule of N2. In-situ chemistry is unlikely responsible for the 15N depletion in N2; neither low-temperature gas phase chemistry nor isotope selective photodissociation of N2 explains the 15N depletion; the former prefers transferring 15N to N2, while the latter requires the penetration of interstellar FUV photons into the core center. The most likely explanation is that 15N is preferentially partitioned into ices compared to 14N via the combination of isotope selective photodissociation of N2 and grain surface chemistry in the parent cloud of L1544 or in the outer regions of L1544 which are not fully shielded from the interstellar FUV radiation. The mechanism is the most efficient at the chemical transition from atomic to molecular nitrogen. In other words, our result suggests that the gas in the central part of L1544 already went trough the transition from atomic to molecular nitrogen in the earlier evolutionary stage, and that N2 is currently the primary form of gas-phase nitrogen.

title: Communicating Hope about Societal Issues: The Case of Climate Change
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: Research indicates that news media coverage of climate change in the United States has emphasized the harms of warming more so than potential solutions (Hart & Feldman, 2014; O’Neill, Williams, Kurz, Wiersma, & Boykoff, 2015), or what is known as “the hope gap” (Upton, 2015). It is thus not surprising that many express a feeling of fatalism or helplessness in the face of climate change (Lorenzoni, Nicholson-Cole, & Whitmarsh, 2007). This dissertation develops a theory of hope as it pertains to social issues and applies it to climate change, based on appraisal theories of emotion (Lazarus, 1991b; Ortony, Clore, & Collins, 1988; Roseman, 1984), positing cognitive summative evaluations of a situation (appraisals) as precursors for emotion. I develop a more in-depth set of measures of the emotion of hope in response to climate change than previous researchers, based on how hope has been measured in contexts other than climate change. Two survey studies were employed to analyze hypotheses related to the antecedents, internal structure, and consequents of societal issue hope, including an embedded experiment in one survey employed to investigate hypotheses about message processing. Results support the validity of the measurement and conceptual approach, and provide support for some of the core theoretical claims, while challenging several other predictions and offering novel insights, such as identifying a sub-population of apparent stoic optimists who persist in feeling hopeful about climate change despite their intense skepticism that humanity will succeed in rising to the challenge.

description: In comparison with the accurate data on the on-top electron density n(0) in the proton-embedded electron gas with the density parameter r_s in the range 1-12 obtained by diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) simulations, we have successfully constructed an alternative form of the exchange-correlation energy functional in the density functional theory by imposing the constraint due to the cusp theorem on the well-known Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional. Although PBE does not, our functional, referred to as the cusp-corrected PBE (ccPBE), reproduces the DMC data on n(0) in the entire range of r_s.

description: We study the phase diagram of the three-dimensional SU(3)+adjoint Higgs theory with lattice Monte Carlo simulations. A critical line consisting of a first order line, a tricritical point and a second order line, divides the phase diagram into two parts distinguished by =0 and /=0. The location and the type of the critical line are determined by measuring the condensates and , and the masses of scalar and vector excitations. Although in principle there can be different types of broken phases, corresponding perturbatively to unbroken SU(2)xU(1) or U(1)xU(1) symmetries, we find that dynamically only the broken phase with SU(2)xU(1)-like properties is realized. The relation of the phase diagram to 4d finite temperature QCD is discussed.

description: Terrorism is an emerging and continuously growing worldwide threat, with numerous attacks over the last years. Mass transportation systems hold a unique position as possible targets for such attacks. Earlier detection of terrorists and potentially dangerous objects, tracking of detected individuals or situations and coordination of first responders, are critical actions that will mitigate the terrorism-related risks. PREVENT as an EU-funded initiative focuses on the identification of the commonly shared challenge of the practitioners in the field of transport security in European level for preempting attacks, following a progressive and iterative methodological approach. Within this chapter, the scenario-based framework developed and followed to conclude with the Common Challenge for the future procurement is further analyzed pinpointing the potential enhancement that will be offered to public transport operators. Based on the project results, a multidimensional roadmap of innovations and solutions is elaborated.

description: This paper examines the role congressional staffers play in orchestrating the voice of the Member of Congress through the crafting of press releases, letters, speeches, and other texts on his behalf. The author conducted an ethnographic study of the congressional office where she has worked for four years, examining how the staff writing team works collaboratively to generate the Congressman‟s public voice. The study explores the sources of authority in the writing process, particularly in a culture where writing on behalf of the Congressman has the power to determine and communicate public policy. It examines how staff writers orient first to the Congressman himself, then to various audiences and to each other. It argues that the writing process is significantly impacted by the power structures in the office, but that it also plays an important role in shaping power relationships among writers and between the Congressman and his staff. Finally, this study argues that the congressional voice has a significant impact on crafting and implementing public policy and that staffers, as orchestrators of this voice, have authority to shape policy decisions.

description: It is a well-known fact that all the statistical predictions of quantum mechanics on the state of any physical system represented by a two-dimensional Hilbert space can always be duplicated by a noncontextual hidden-variables model. In this paper, I show that, in some cases, when we consider an additional independent (unentangled) two-dimensional system, the quantum description of the resulting composite system cannot be reproduced using noncontextual hidden variables. In particular, a no-hidden-variables proof is presented for two individual spin-1/2 particles preselected in an uncorrelated state AB and postselected in another uncorrelated state aB, B being the same state for the second particle in both preselection and postselection.

description: Everybody knows that the Greenway, the privately-owned extension of the Dulles Access Road into Loudoun County, has not been paved with greenbacks for its sponsors. Since its opening at the end of September, 1995, the owners have been in seemingly constant refinancing negotiations with creditors and state authorities. Early in Greenway’s life a planned increase of its one-way toll from $1.75 to $2.00 was turned instead into a reduction to $1.00 for fear of driving down already low vehicle usage. Since then the toll has been raised in increments only to $1.50 by the end of last July. As late as March, 1997, revenue from tolls was sufficient only to cover operating expenses without reference to debt service.

description: Nanotechnology is the growing field of nanoscale materials, it is necessary to merge medicine and nanotechnology. The present study shows that if gold nanoparticles are plant mediated, they are cost-effective, rapid, and efficient. Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by using the Couroupita guianensis and they were characterized by using the FTIR, XRD, and SEM. Interestingly these plants mediated gold nanoparticles will be used in several applications of electronics, medical applications such as drug delivery, diagnostics, and treatments.
title: The Greatest Crusade: D-Day, the Press, and the Making of an American Narrative

description: ABSTRACT THE GREATEST CRUSADE: D-DAY, THE PRESS, AND THE MAKING OF AN AMERICAN NARRATIVE Stephen M. Rusiecki, Ph.D. George Mason University, 2020 Dissertation Director: Dr. Christopher C. Hamner This dissertation describes the process of how and why Americans developed on a single day—6 June 1944—a standing narrative of the World War II operation known as D-Day based upon a common, press-enabled, thematically framed narrative that has endured for more than seven decades. This study focuses on one central question: How did this early narrative of the D-Day landings, hastily though deliberately constructed in real time by America’s radio networks and newspapers, become the story of the war in the years and decades after World War II, dominating the imaginations and consciousness of Americans born long after the Invasion took place? Ultimately, this line of inquiry seeks to explain how America's collective understanding of D-Day—essentially the American D-Day story—was born. In order to answer this query, this project explores in detail the mechanics of precisely how radio broadcasts and newspapers in the 24-hour period surrounding 6 June 1944 gathered and then communicated facts, images, impressions, attitudes, and meaning that formed for all Americans nearly simultaneously a common narrative organized around four thematic frames. These four frames—the significance and scale of the operation, the sacralization of the event, the gifted and talented nature of the Allied senior leaders, and the purity and valor of the average American soldier—would remain fixed in the American consciousness for decades to come as evidenced by the appearance of this very same storyline over the decades, most notably in presidential speeches commemorating D-Day. By addressing the news-making process during D-Day, this study further explores what information was available to the press; how the press assigned meaning to, or perceived, that information; and what information remained unavailable to the press on 6 June 1944 due to censorship or procedural breakdowns caused by the friction of war. In the end, this study is about the process by which the print and broadcast media constructed a very specific storyline of D-Day in the moment, a narrative that elevated D-Day to a unique, and war-defining, status enjoyed by few events in American military history, such as the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War and the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War.
Numerical Study of the Spin-1 Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Chain with a Spin-1/2 Impurity

description: Low-lying excited states as well as the ground state of the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain with a spin-1/2 impurity are studied by means of a method of numerical diagonalization. The isotropic nearest-neighbor exchange coupling plus the uniaxial single-ion-type anisotropy energy is assumed for the host-system Hamiltonian. The energy differences between the ground state and the low-lying excited states, which appear in the Haldane gap, are estimated in the thermodynamic limit. The results are used to analyze the electron-spin-resonance experimental data on Ni(C$_2$H$_8$N$_2$)$_2$NO$_2$(ClO$_4$), abbreviated NENP, containing a small amount of spin-1/2 Cu$^{2+}$ impurities. It is found that in this system, the impurity-host $\bigl($Cu$^{2+}$-Ni$^{2+}$$\bigr)$ coupling is ferromagnetic and its magnitude is about 5$\,$\% of the magnitude of the host-host $\bigl($Ni$^{2+}$-Ni$^{2+}$$\bigr)$ coupling.

description: Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) has been extensively reported for applications of electrochemical energy storage, memristors, solar cells, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and electrochromic devices. The thermal properties of Nb2O5 play a critical role in device performance of these applications. However, very few studies on the thermal properties of Nb2O5 have been reported and a fundamental understanding of heat transport in Nb2O5 is still lacking. The present work closes this gap and provides the first study of thermal conductivity of amorphous Nb2O5 thin films. Ultralow thermal conductivity is observed without any size effect in films as thin as 48 nm, which indicates that propagons contribute negligibly to the thermal conductivity and that the thermal transport is dominated by diffusons. Density-function-theory (DFT) simulations combined with a diffuson-mediated minimum-thermal-conductivity model confirms this finding. Additionally, the measured thermal conductivity is lower than the amorphous limit (Cahill model), which proves that the diffuson model works better than the Cahill model to describe the thermal conduction mechanism in the amorphous Nb2O5 thin films. Additionally, the thermal conductivity does not change significantly with oxygen vacancy concentration. This stable and low thermal conductivity facilitates excellent performance for applications such as memristors.

description: A thorough verification of the distinct differences in the properties of quark and gluon jets is considered as one of the most instructive tests of the basic ideas of QCD. In the real life experiments such a comparison appears to be quite a delicate task and various subtle issues require further theoretical efforts. In this paper we discuss in detail the possibility to extract the theoretically adequate information from the particle multiplicity patterns in three-jet events in e+e- annihilation.

description: Utilizing common resources is always a dilemma for community members. While cooperator players restrain themselves and consider the proper state of resources, defectors demand more than their supposed share for a higher payoff. To avoid the tragedy of the common state, punishing the latter group seems to be an adequate reaction. This conclusion, however, is less straightforward when we acknowledge the fact that resources are finite and even a renewable resource has limited growing capacity. To clarify the possible consequences, we consider a coevolutionary model where beside the payoff-driven competition of cooperator and defector players the level of a renewable resource depends sensitively on the fraction of cooperators and the total consumption of all players. The applied feedback-evolving game reveals that beside a delicately adjusted punishment it is also fundamental that cooperators should pay special attention to the growing capacity of renewable resources. Otherwise, even the usage of tough punishment cannot save the community from an undesired end.

description: We propose a laser cooling scheme that allows to cool a single atom confined in a harmonic potential to the trap ground state $|0>$. The scheme assumes strong confinement, where the oscillation frequency in the trap is larger than the effective spontaneous decay width, but is not restricted to the Lamb-Dicke limit, i.e. the size of the trap ground state can be larger than the optical wavelength. This cooling scheme may be useful in the context of quantum computations with ions and Bose-Einstein condensation.
