description: Το αντικείμενο της παρούσας ανακοίνωσης είναι η μελέτη της εθνικής ταυτότητας των νέων που ανήκουν σε δύο νεανικές υποκουλτούρες, της punk και της skinhead. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας, που προέκυψαν μέσω της ανάλυσης περιεχομένου των στίχων νεανικών συγκροτημάτων, τα οποία ανήκουν στις δύο υποκουλτούρες, κατέδειξαν ότι οι δύο ομάδες έχουν ακραίες ιδεολογικές θέσεις και ιδιάζουσες ταυτότητες. Τα άτομα που ανήκουν στην punk υποκουλτούρα αντιδρούν απέναντι στις δομές της σύγχρονης κοινωνίας, δεν δέχονται την ύπαρξη των εθνών και αισθάνονται ότι δεν ανήκουν σε καμία πατρίδα. Οι αναρχικοί punks φαίνεται να μην έχουν αίσθηση της ελληνικότητάς τους, αφού δεν την τοποθετούν σε καμία αναφορά ως κομμάτι της οντότητάς τους. Επιπλέον, εναντιώνονται σε κάθε έκφραση συντηρητισμού, θρησκευτικού παροξυσμού, σεξισμού, ομοφοβίας, ρατσισμού, ξενοφοβίας και εθνικισμού. Από την άλλη μεριά, η ακροδεξιά υποκουλτούρα των skinheads πρεσβεύει εντελώς διαφορετικές πεποιθήσεις όσον αφορά στην πατρίδα και το έθνος. Σ’ αυτήν την περίπτωση μιλάμε για άτομα που αγαπούν την πατρίδα τους και αφιερώνουν τη ζωή τους για την υπεράσπισή της. Είναι «περήφανοι στρατιώτες της εργατικής τάξης», εθνικιστές, ρατσιστές και σεξιστές. Η εθνική ταυτότητα, όπως διαπιστώθηκε, κατέχει ίσως τον πιο σημαντικό ρόλο στην εξέλιξη της ατομικής ταυτότητας και προσωπικότητας ενός ακροδεξιού skinhead.
description: The current research studies the national identity of young people that take part in the subcultures of punk and nationalist skinheads. The method of research was context analysis in the lyrics of songs of bands that belong to these two subcultures. Results showed that young punks refuse to accept the structures of modern society and believe that there is no such thing as nations. They are anarchists and, as a result, they claim that they don’t feel that they are Greek and belong to Greece or any other country. Also, according to the results, punks seem to resist in conservatism, religion, sexism, racism, nationalism and homophobia. On the other hand, during the research, it was proved that, right-wing skinheads love their country and nation and are willing to defend them at any cost, even by sacrificing their own lives. Nationalist skinheads present their selves as “proud soldiers of the working class” and their ideology includes racism, sexism, homophobia and of course nationalism. In this case, it was proved that national identity plays the most important role in the development of the personal identity of a nationalist skinhead.

Εξίσου σημαντική ήταν η σύνδεση του συνολικού του έργου με τις πολιτικές συνθήκες και αλλαγές που έζησε η χώρα του και η επίδραση που έχει ασκήσει αυτή η εμπειρία στη συνολική καλλιτεχνική του δημιουργία. Η θεατρική του πορεία χωρίστηκε σε τρεις περιόδους από τις οποίες η πρώτη αφορά στη συνεργασία του με την Junction Avenue Theater Company, η δεύτερη με τη Handspring Puppet Theater Company και η τρίτη περίοδος τις πιο πρόσφατες παραγωγές του για την όπερα. Από κάθε μία περίοδο επιλέχθηκαν και εξετάστηκαν τα πιο χαρακτηριστικά κατά την προσωπική μου άποψη έργα, καταλήγοντας τελικά στο συμπέρασμα, πως οι δύο αυτές διαφορετικές μορφές έκφρασης δεν αποτελούν δύο ξεχωριστά κεφάλαια της δουλειάς του, αλλά ανατροφοδοτούν και αλληλοσυμπληρώνουν η μία την άλλη.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the multifaceted theatrical work of the South African artist William Kentridge and the attempt to connect it with his parallel work as a visual artist. Equally important was the connection of his total work with the political conditions and transitions that have happened in his country and the impact that these finally had on his creativity and expression as an artist. His theatrical process was divided in three periods. The first regards to his collaboration with the Junction Avenue Theater Company, the second with the Handspring Puppet Theater Company and the third period to his most recent opera productions. I chose to examine the most significant, according to my personal opinion, works from each period and resulted to the conclusion that the two different art forms William Kentridge uses cannot be separated. On the contrary they feedback and complement one another.

description: We analyze the stability and magnetic properties of infinite zigzag atomic chains of a large number of late third, fourth and fifth-row transition metal atoms, as well as of the Group IV elements Si, Ge, Sn and Pb. We find that zigzag chains of third- and fourth-row elements are not stable, while those made of Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, W, Os, Ir, Pt and Au are. These results correlate well with known data in Mechanically Controllable Break Junction experiemnts (MCBJE). We therefore conjecture that the stability of an infinite chain is at least a necessary condition for the formation of a finite sized one in MCBJE. We therefore predict that Sn and Os, and possibly W and Pb chains may be found in those experiments. We also find that the bonds in Hg chains are extremely soft. We finally show that the magnetic moments and anisotropies of Ir and Pt chains show a non-trivial behavior.

description: We consider strongly degenerate parabolic operators of the form \[ \mathcal{L}:=\nabla_X\cdot(A(X,Y,t)\nabla_X)+X\cdot\nabla_Y-\partial_t \] in unbounded domains \[ Ω=\{(X,Y,t)=(x,x_{m},y,y_{m},t)\in\mathbb R^{m-1}\times\mathbb R\times\mathbb R^{m-1}\times\mathbb R\times\mathbb R\mid x_m>ψ(x,y,t)\}. \] We assume that $A=A(X,Y,t)$ is bounded, measurable and uniformly elliptic (as a matrix in $\mathbb R^{m}$) and concerning $ψ$ and $Ω$ we assume that $Ω$ is what we call an (unbounded) Lipschitz domain: $ψ$ satisfies a uniform Lipschitz condition adapted to the dilation structure and the (non-Euclidean) Lie group underlying the operator $\mathcal{L}$. We prove, assuming in addition that $ψ$ is independent of the variable $y_m$, that $ψ$ satisfies an additional regularity condition formulated in terms of a Carleson measure, and additional conditions on $A$, that the associated parabolic measure is absolutely continuous with respect to a surface measure and that the associated Radon-Nikodym derivative defines an $A_\infty$-weight with respect to the surface measure.

description: The task of Monte Carlo simulation of the evolution of the parton distributions in QCD and of constructing new parton shower Monte Carlo algorithms requires new way of organizing solutions of the QCD evolution equations, in which quark-gluon transitions on one hand and quark-quark or gluon-gluon transitions (pure gluonstrahlung) on the other hand, are treated separately and differently. This requires certain reorganization of the iterative solutions of the QCD evolution equations and leads to what we refer to as a hierarchic iterative solutions of the evolution equations. We present three formal derivations of such a solution. Results presented here are already used in the other recent works to formulate new MC algorithms for the parton-shower-like implementations of the QCD evolution equations. They are primarily of the non-Markovian type. However, such a solution can be used for the Markovian-type MCs as well. We also comment briefly on the relation of the presented formalism to similar methods used in other branches of physics.

Books in teaching science in a kindergarten classroom: a study of one teacher
Creators: name: Tan, Seck Cher
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study investigated one teacher's use of children's literature and trade books in teaching science in her Kindergarten classroom during one school year. The study was guided by two questions: 'How does a teacher make use of books in her Kindergarten science programme?' and 'Why does she use books in the way(s) she does?' A qualitative case study research methodology was employed in this investigation. The collected data consisted of field notes written from observations of the classroom activities and transcribed from in-depth interviews with the teacher. Related documents such as samples of one child's class work, parent newsletters written by the teacher and weekly newsletters from the Kindergarten were also collected. The teacher used books to teach both science content and process skills directly and indirectly. Books were used to teach science content directly by introducing science concepts, giving information and teaching vocabulary, and indirectly by assisting visualisation and providing simulation ideas. Books were also used to teach science process skills directly by guiding children's observation and self exploration; and indirectly by engaging children in scientific behaviours and providing opportunities for engaging children in scientific discourse. This teacher had two underlying beliefs which supported her use of books in the classroom. One, a personal conviction that books supported science learning. Two, a practical intention of attracting children to explore a given activity.

description: Tajweed is a set of rules to read the Quran in a correct Pronunciation of the letters with all its Qualities, while Reciting the Quran. which means you have to give every letter in the Quran its due of characteristics and apply it to this particular letter in this specific situation while reading, which may differ in other times. These characteristics include melodic rules, like where to stop and for how long, when to merge two letters in pronunciation or when to stretch some, or even when to put more strength on some letters over other. Most of the papers focus mainly on the main recitation rules and the pronunciation but not (Ahkam AL Tajweed) which give different rhythm and different melody to the pronunciation with every different rule of (Tajweed). Which is also considered very important and essential in Reading the Quran as it can give different meanings to the words. In this paper we discuss in detail full system for automatic recognition of Quran Recitation Rules (Tajweed) by using support vector machine and threshold scoring system

description: Aims. We present molecular line observations of the southwestern part of the IC 348 young cluster, and we use them together with NIR and mm continuum data to determine the distribution of dense gas, search for molecular outflows, and analyze the ongoing star formation activity in the region. Methods. Our molecular line data consists of C18O(1--0) and N2H+(1--0) maps obtained with the FCRAO telescope at a resolution of about 50'' and CO(2--1) data obtained with the IRAM 30m telescope at a resolution of 11''. Results. The dense gas southwest of IC 348 is concentrated in two groups of dense cores, each of them with a few solar masses of material and indications of CO depletion at high density. One of the core groups is actively forming stars, while the other seems starless. There is evidence for at least three bipolar molecular outflows in the region, two of them powered by previously identified Class 0 sources, while the other one is powered by a still not well characterized low-luminosity object. The ongoing star formation activity is producing a small stellar subgroup in the cluster. Using the observed core characteristics and the star formation rate in the cluster we propose that that similar episodes of stellar birth may have produced the subclustering observed in the halo of IC 348.

description: Similar to black-hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) transients, hysteresis-like state transitions are also seen in some neutron-star X-ray binaries (NSXRBs). Using a method based on wavelets and lightcurves constructed from archival RXTE observations, we extract a minimal timescale over the complete range of transitions for 4U 1608-52 during the 2002 and 2007 outbursts and the 1999 and 2000 outbursts for Aql X-1. We present evidence for a strong positive correlation between this minimal timescale and a similar timescale extracted from the corresponding power spectra of these sources.

For the first time, we formulate here the first principle of biology in a mathematical form and present some of its applications of primary importance.

Στο πλαίσιο της παρούσας διατριβής, έγινε προσπάθεια να διαπιστωθεί η αναγκαιότητα ύπαρξης των γεωργών αυτών για τις κοινωνίες της υπαίθρου, να αναγνωριστούν και να διερευνηθούν τα κοινωνικοοικονομικά χαρακτηριστικά τους και ο ρόλος τους. Για το σκοπό αυτό πραγματοποιήθηκε δειγματοληπτική έρευνα, σε 250 γεωργούς της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας, προκειμένου να κατηγοριοποιηθούν σε διακριτές συστάδες, ανάλογα με τον βαθμό «ηγετικότητας» τους, και μια σειρά άλλων κύριων χαρακτηριστικών. Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα της ανάλυσης, το μεγαλύτερο μέρος των γεωργών αποτελούν οι «ουραγοί γνώμης» και οι «γεωργοί που θεωρούν τον εαυτό τους ως γνωμοηγήτορα» ενώ, μικρότερο ποσοστό αποτελούν οι «γεωργοί που πιστεύουν ότι διαθέτουν ορισμένα ηγετικά γνωρίσματα» και ελάχιστοί αποτελούν τους πραγματικούς «γνωμοηγήτορες».
description: It is well known that in every rural area there is a relatively small proportion of farmers that has a significant influence on others and often enjoys a special response and respect. Actually, their leadership is usually informal as they do not have an institutional role in their local community. In the present article, an attempt is made to determine the necessity of such groups in rural communities, to recognize the «opinion leaders» and to explore the socio-economic characteristics and their role. For this purpose a survey was employed in 250 farmers in Western Macedonia, so that we can stratify them in distinct clusters, depending on the level of leadership of each farmer and additionally an attempt is made to investigate the main features in each cluster, which account for this distinction. According to the results of analysis, the majority of farmers are the «opinion laggards» and the «farmers who consider themselves as opinion leader» while a smaller percentage are the «farmers who believe that they have some leadership traits» and only few of them are the real «opinion leaders».

description: Phonon-phonon anharmonic effects have a strong influence on the phonon spectrum; most prominent manifestation of these effects are the softening (shift in frequency) and broadening (change in FWHM) of the phonon modes at finite temperature. Using Raman spectroscopy, we studied the temperature dependence of the FWHM and Raman shift of $\mathrm{E_{2g}^1}$ and $\mathrm{A_{1g}}$ modes for single-layer and natural bilayer MoS$_2$ over a broad range of temperatures ($8 < $T$ < 300$ K). Both the Raman shift and FWHM of these modes show linear temperature dependence for $T>100$ K, whereas they become independent of temperature for $T<100$ K. Using first-principles calculations, we show that three-phonon anharmonic effects intrinsic to the material can account for the observed temperature-dependence of the line-width of both the modes. It also plays an important role in determining the temperature-dependence of the frequency of the Raman modes. The observed evolution of the line-width of the A$_{1g}$ mode suggests that electron-phonon processes are additionally involved. From the analysis of the temperature-dependent Raman spectra of MoS$_2$ on two different substrates -- SiO$_2$ and hexagonal boron nitride, we disentangle the contributions of external stress and internal impurities to these phonon-related processes. We find that the renormalization of the phonon mode frequencies on different substrates is governed by strain and intrinsic doping. Our work establishes the role of intrinsic phonon anharmonic effects in deciding the Raman shift in MoS$_2$ irrespective of substrate and layer number.
Lubicon Lake First Nation concept of education
Creators: name: Cardinal, Maisie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This paper describes the concept of traditional education. Educators define traditional education as a way of life, spirituality, an act of love, wholistic, language, and culture. In economics, children learn by observing a skill like setting a snare and then actually snaring something, like a rabbit. This paper includes a history of the Lubicon Lake First Nation, history of the first Indian Mission and Northland School Division. It concludes with the idea that now is the time to develop a unique Lubicon Lake First Nation approach to education. This idea means that the First Nation school has the chance to develop their own system in conjunction with mainstream curriculum, but would include appropriate cultural concepts such as language, native spirituality and history.

description: Rather than using wooden sticks to simulate the breakage of trees in high winds as in most research, we employed fresh samples with branches and leaves to certify the crucial role played by the tree crown. By using the blowdown wind tunnel with a maximum wind speed of 60 m/s, we purposely reduce the number of leaves and show that the drag force will drop by as much as two thirds when half pruned. Based on real observations, we model the leaf by an open and full cone in the presence of light and strong wind, and calculate how their corresponding cross-sectional area and drag force vary with wind speed. Different power-law relations are predicted and confirmed by experiments for these properties before and after the formation of a full cone. Compared to the empirical value of 1/3 and 3/4, our simple model gave 2/5 and 2/3 for the power-law exponent of cross-sectional area at low and high winds. Discrepancy can be accounted for by including further details, such as the reorientation of open cones and the movement of branches.

description: The main objective of this postgraduate thesis, which was prepared in the framework of the postgraduate program “Psychopedagogics of Inclusion: a school for all” in the direction of Special Educational Needs is to explore the relation between self-efficacy and burnout among the resource room educators serving in Greek elementary schools, a relation which has yet not been adequately examined by the researchers and poses thrilling research questions. The self-referential, psychosocial construct of self-efficacy in its various facets and burnout syndrome, characterized by feelings of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment, as well as the concept of stress which can lead to burnout or put a further emotional burden on the burnt-out teacher are presented and analyzed extensively in this thesis. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on the impact of demographics such as gender and professional experience on the manifestation of self-efficacy and burnout and pursues a comparison between teachers of the general class and the resource room as regards the two crucial notions of burnout and self-efficacy. For the aims of this research, two original scales for the measurement of burnout and self-efficacy were constructed, based on the international research bibliography and the existent predominant scales.

description: We study extensions of the standard model with additional colored scalar fields which can couple directly to quarks. Natural suppression of flavor changing neutral currents implies minimal flavor violation, and fixes the scalars to transform as (8,2)_1/2 under the SU(3) X SU(2) X U(1) gauge symmetry. We explore the phenomenology of the standard model with one additional (8,2)_1/2 scalar, and discuss how this extension can modify flavor physics and the Higgs boson production rate at the LHC. Custodial SU(2) symmetry can be implemented for the octet scalars since they transform as a real color representation. Additional weak scale degrees of freedom needed for gauge unification are discussed.

description: It has been known for a long time that some red giants in globular clusters exhibit large star-to-star variations in the abundances of light elements that are not exhibited by field giants. This fact can be taken as evidence that the extra mixing mechanism(s) that operate in globular cluster giants may be consequences of star-star interactions in the dense stellar environment. In order to constrain the extra mixing mechanism(s), we study the influence of helium enrichment along the red giant branch (RGB) on the evolution of stars through the horizontal branch. Three possible modes of helium enrichment are considered, associated with close encounters of stars in the globular clusters. We show that as a consequence of the variations in the core mass as well as in the total mass due to mass loss, the color of horizontal branch models are distributed over almost all range of horizontal branch. The results are discussed in relation to the scenario for the origin of the abundance anomalies and for the effects on the morphology of horizontal branch. We argue that the star-star interactions can explain not only the source of angular momentum of rapid rotation but also provide a mechanism for the bimodal distribution of rotation rates in some globular clusters. We also propose the time elapsed from the latest core collapse phase during the gravo-thermal oscillations as the second parameter to explain the variations in HB morphology among the globular clusters.

description: Αφετηρία της παρούσας έρευνας αποτελεί το γεγονός ότι ελάχιστες έρευνες έχουν ασχοληθεί με την εξερεύνηση της θέσης της ξένης γλώσσας ως πόρου, καθώς και των πρακτικών εκμάθησης και επικοινωνίας οι οποίες κατακτώνται στο σύγχρονο επικοινωνιακό τοπίο από την οπτική μιας λιγότερο ομιλούμενης γλώσσας, όπως της ελληνικής στη Σερβία. Αυτό μας παρώθησε να ασχοληθούμε ερευνητικά με το συγκεκριμένο θέμα, προκειμένου να γίνουν προτάσεις για το σύγχρονο κοινωνικά ενήμερο γλωσσοδιδακτικό πρόγραμμα το οποίο λαμβάνει υπόψη τον κοινωνικό-οικονομικό περίγυρο στον οποίο διεξάγεται η διδασκαλία. Η εργασία εξετάζει σε επίπεδο τοπικό και κοινωνικό το στάτους της ελληνικής γλώσσας ως λιγότερο ομιλούμενης ξένης γλώσσας στη Σερβία στην τριτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση και συγκεκριμένα σε δύο τριτοβάθμια ιδρύματα, το Κέντρο ξένων γλωσσών του Πανεπιστημίου του Νις και τη Φιλολογική Σχολή του Πανεπιστημίου Βελιγραδίου. Για τις ανάγκες της συνδυάστηκε η ποιοτική και ποσοτική μέθοδος με τη χρήση ερωτηματολογίων που διανεμήθηκαν στους φοιτητές. Με άλλα λόγια οι αλλαγές που έχουν συντελεστεί σε επίπεδο τοπικό ερμηνεύονται μέσα από το πρίσμα των θεωριών για τη διδασκαλία της δεύτερης γλώσσας και τα δεδομένα από τις ευρύτερες κοινωνικο-οικονομικές αλλαγές στο πλαίσιο της παγκοσμιοποίησης.
description: The smallest number of researches has been dealing with the issue of the significance of a foreign language as a source, as well as the learning and communication practices being acquired in the modern communication scape from the lesser used language point of view, as Greek language in Serbia. This was the motiv for researching the specific subject, in order to make suggestions for the modern socially informed language teaching program that takes into account the social-economic environment in which teaching takes place. The present paper examines the Greek language status on a local and social level as a lesser used foreign language in the higher education in Serbia, more specifically in the Nis Univeristy Foreign Language Center and the Belgrade University Faculty of Philology. For the research purposes quality and quantity method were combined, using the questionnaires that were distributed to the students. In other words changes that have taken place on the local level have been interpreted through the second language teaching theories as well as through the data from the broader social- economic changes under globalisation.

description: We present an analogy between the classic Gambler's Ruin problem and the thermally-activated dynamics in periodic Brownian ratchets. By considering each periodic unit of the ratchet as a site chain, we calculated the transition probabilities and mean first passage time for transitions between energy minima of adjacent units. We consider the specific case of Brownian ratchets driven by Markov dichotomous noise. The explicit solution for the current is derived for any arbitrary temperature, and is verified numerically by Langevin simulations. The conditions for vanishing current and current reversal in the ratchet are obtained and discussed.

description: Ο John Locke στο έργο του An Essay Concerning Human Understanding πραγματεύεται τη φύση, την πηγή, τα όρια και τη βεβαιότητα της γνώσης καθώς και τη σχέση που συνδέει το Υποκείμενο (νους) με το γνωστικό Αντικείμενο. Επιδιώκει να προσεγγίσει τα ζητήματα αυτά απαλλαγμένος από τη Σχολαστική παράδοση και τις Μεταφυσικές ερμηνείες και απορρίπτει την έμφυτη γνώση. Διαμορφώνει τη θεωρία του βασιζόμενος στις ιδέες που λειτουργούν ως διαμεσολαβητικοί παράγοντες ανάμεσα στον αισθητό κόσμο και την ανθρώπινη αντίληψη, αποτελούν το μοναδικό αντικείμενο του νου και τελικά, οδηγούν στη γνώση. Παράλληλα οι αναπαραστατικές θεωρίες για τη γνώση υποστηρίζουν πως το Υποκείμενο δεν έχει ποτέ αντίληψη του Αντικειμένου της γνώσης άμεσα αλλά το μόνο που γνωρίζει ο ανθρώπινος νους είναι τα είδωλα των αισθητών πραγμάτων που εντυπώνονται στην ψυχή. Η κοινή αυτή τοποθέτηση οδήγησε στην άποψη πως η γνωσιοθεωρία του John Locke αποτελεί μία αναπαραστατική θεωρία για τη γνώση. Όμως το μοντέλο της αναπαράστασης και της εμπειριοκρατίας γενικότερα αδυνατεί να δώσει τις ολοκληρωμένες απαντήσεις που αναζητά ο Locke γύρω από το ζήτημα τόσο της απόλυτης βεβαιότητας της γνώσης όσο και της ύπαρξης του εξωτερικού κόσμου. Για το λόγο αυτό αναγκάζεται να παρεκκλίνει από τα αυστηρά πλαίσια του εμπειρισμού και του αναπαραστατικού μοντέλου που αρχικά ακολουθεί και τελικά υιοθετεί μια μορφή ενορατικής αντίληψης του ανθρώπινου νου.
description: John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding discusses the nature, source, limits and certainty of knowledge as well as the relationship between the Subject (mind) with the Object of knowledge. It seeks to address these issues free from Scholastic Tradition and Metaphysic interpretations and rejects innate knowledge. He formulates his theory based on ideas that serve as mediating factors between the sensible world and human perception, constitute the mind’s sole object and eventually lead to knowledge. Representative theories of knowledge also claim that there never is a direct perception of the Object of knowledge by the Subject but rather the only thing the human mind can know is images of the sensible things which are imprinted in the soul. This common position led to the belief that John Locke’ theory of knowledge is a representative one. But the model of representation and empiricism in general fails to provide Locke with the integrated answers he is seeking as to the absolute certainty of knowledge and the existence of the external world. Consequently he is forced to diverge from the strict context of empiricism and representative model he originally followed and eventually to adopt a form of innate perception of human thinking.

description: Reproductive toxicity refers to the harmful effects that chemicals or physical agents can have on the reproductive systems of both males and females, as well as on developing offspring. Female rats are frequently used as a model in these studies because their physiology closely mirrors that of humans. Additionally, their genetic consistency, short reproductive cycles, and cost-effectiveness make them an ideal choice for research. By using this model, scientists can explore how different substances may affect fertility and fetal development. These studies play a crucial role in assessing the risks posed by pharmaceuticals, environmental toxins, and other substances that could potentially impact reproductive health.
Electric dipole response of low-lying excitations in the two-neutron halo nucleus $\boldsymbol{^{29}}$F

description: The neutron-rich $^{28,29}$F isotopes have been recently studied via knockout and interaction cross-section measurements. The $2n$ halo in $^{29}$F has been linked to the occupancy of $pf$ intruder configurations. We investigate bound and continuum states in $^{29}$F, focusing on the $E1$ response of low-lying excitations and the effect of dipole couplings on nuclear reactions. $^{29}\text{F}$ ($^{27}\text{F}+n+n$) wave functions are built within the hyperspherical harmonics formalism, and reaction cross sections are calculated using the Glauber theory. Continuum states and $B(E1)$ transition probabilities are described in a pseudostate approach using the analytical THO basis. The corresponding structure form factors are used in CDCC calculations to describe low-energy scattering. Parity inversion in $^{28}$F leads to a $^{29}$F ground state characterized by 57.5% of $(p_{3/2})^2$ intruder components, a strong dineutron configuration, and an increase of the matter radius with respect to the core radius of $ΔR=0.20$ fm. Glauber-model calculations for a carbon target at 240 MeV/nucleon provide a total reaction cross section of 1370 mb, in agreement with recent data. The model produces also a barely bound excited state corresponding to a quadrupole excitation. $B(E1)$ calculations into the continuum yield a total strength of 1.59 e$^2$fm$^2$ up to 6 MeV, and the $E1$ distribution exhibits a resonance at $\approx$ 0.85 MeV. Results using a standard shell-model order for $^{28}$F lead to a considerable reduction of the $B(E1)$ distribution. The four-body CDCC calculations for $^{29}\text{F}+^{120}\text{Sn}$ around the Coulomb barrier are dominated by dipole couplings, which totally cancel the Fresnel peak in the elastic cross section. These results are consistent with a two-neutron halo and may guide future experimental campaigns.

description: Using analytic arguments and a suite of very high resolution (10^3 Msun per particle) cosmological hydro-dynamical simulations, we argue that high redshift, z ~ 10, M ~ 10^8 Msun halos, form the smallest `baryonic building block' (BBB) for galaxy formation. These halos are just massive enough to efficiently form stars through atomic line cooling and to hold onto their gas in the presence of supernovae winds and reionisation. These combined effects, in particular that of the supernovae feedback, create a sharp transition: over the mass range 3-10x10^7 Msun, the BBBs drop two orders ofmagnitude in stellar mass. Below ~2x10^7 Msun, galaxies will be dark with almost no stars and no gas. Above this scale is the smallest unit of galaxy formation: the BBB. A small fraction (~100) of these gas rich BBBs fall in to a galaxy the size of the Milky Way. Ten percent of these survive to become the observed LG dwarf galaxies at the present epoch. Those in-falling halos on benign orbits which keep them far away from the Milky Way or Andromeda manage to retain their gas and slowly form stars - these become the smallest dwarf irregular galax ies; those on more severe orbits lose their gas faster than they can form stars and become the dwarf spheroidals. The remaining 90% of the BBBs will be accreted. We show that this gives a metallicity and total stellar mass consistent with the Milky Way old stellar halo (abridged).

description: We study supercooled dynamics in quantum hard-sphere liquid using quantum mode-coupling formulation. In the moderate quantum regime, classical cage effects lead to slower dynamics compared to strongly quantum regime, where tunneling overcomes classical caging, leading to faster relaxation. As a result, the glass transition critical density can become significantly higher than for the classical liquids. Perturbative approach is used to solve time dependent quantum mode-coupling equations to study in detail the dynamics of the supercooled liquid in moderate quantum regime. Similar to the classical case, relaxation time shows power-law increase with increasing density in the supercooled regime. However, the power-law exponent is found to be dependent on the quantumness; it increases linearly as the quantumness is increased in the moderate quantum regime.
