Diagnosing vertical mixing in a two‐layer exchange flow
Creators: name: Pawlowicz, Rich
name: Farmer, David D.
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2011

description: Most classification schemes and analyses of estuarine and exchange flows use only salinity as a tracer. Temperatures are generally ignored. However, a proper understanding of the effects of surface heating can explain observed seaward changes in the slope of temperature-salinity correlations. A theory is proposed relating changes in temperature and salinity with transport and mixing parameters in a two-layer exchange flow. Results show that along-channel changes in the slope of T-S correlations are virtually independent of vertical mixing but are directly related to horizontal layer transport. Changes in the layer salinities can be related to various ratios of horizontal and vertical transports. Combining these two features of the theory permits a diagnostic determination of Lagrangian transport and mixing from standard hydrographic observations of layer temperature and salinity and an estimate of the surface heat input. The theory is applied to observations made through the spring/neap tidal cycle of mixing in Haro Strait, British Columbia. An edited version of this paper was published by AGU.

description: Urban heat island is one of the most important consequences of climate change in cities. Various factors accelerate temperature increase in urban surfaces. Widespread use of impermeable materials with high heat capacity; albedo and trapping of incoming solar radiation in urban structure which prevents reflection; reduction in cooling at night due to increased building heights; and changes in the complex urban geometry are among these factors. The aim of this study is to investigate the surface temperature of Tehran in a 30-year period (1984–2014). The required images and land surface temperature maps were prepared using a split-window algorithm on thermal bands of landsat images for four periods. All images had been taken at 11:00–14:00 in summer. Temperature factors were calculated for different neighborhoods, and two patterns were obtained. One pattern showed the formation of urban heat island in barren lands, large workshop areas, and areas with military land use, and the other one showed the formation of urban heat island in dense building population areas with limited green space. The results indicate an increase in the area of the regions with a higher temperature in the city. In 1984, the smallest area belonged to the above 48 °C temperature category (1.8 ha), while in 2014 the below 25 °C category had the smallest area (0 ha). It was observed that the area of the former category reached over 1740 ha in 2014. Neighborhood temperature factors show that 17 Shahrivar and Khajeh Nasir–Hoghoughi neighborhoods are the hottest neighborhoods in Tehran. The findings in this study may persuade urban managers scientifically to make preparations for changing the life style focusing on urban macro-scale planning which is a widely emerging issue resulted from recent effects on Tehran’s climate resilience. Considering the importance of urban planning priorities in urban ecosystem services, it is essential to make use of all urban elements and fill the empty gap between urban ecosystem services production and their consumption in the city by wise and smart urban management.

description: Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. In the UK, 75% of women who have breast cancer survive for at least 10 years after diagnosis, often after receiving surgical treatment, which can impact social, psychological, sexual and personal aspects of a patient’s life. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly being used within healthcare to ascertain patients’ views of their symptoms, functional status, and health related quality of life. Initially developed as a research tool, their use is spreading more widely into clinical areas including breast surgery. The PROM BREAST-Q is widely used globally, including in large scale national audits and studies in the UK and USA. The tool has been validated for assessments associated with both cancer and non-cancer breast surgery.
Despite the extensive use of the BREAST-Q tool, it is currently unclear how the assessment has been used to draw conclusions about clinical outcomes following breast surgery. Therefore, this scoping review aims to bridge this gap by summarising existing research on the clinical impact of BREAST-Q concerning the health outcomes of individuals who have undergone diverse types of breast surgery. Thus, this scoping review seeks to address the following two key objectives:
1. To map how BREAST-Q assessments have been used to draw conclusions about clinical outcomes in individuals who have undergone breast surgery.
2. To identify which clinical assessments are frequently paired with BREAST-Q, and how the relationship between these assessments been investigated and linked to clinical outcomes.

description: Integrar información procedente de registros polínicos cuaternarios y modelos de distribución
de especies (SDM) con objeto de obtener un mejor conocimiento de la distribución potencial pasada y
presente de Abies pinsapo y A. alba en la Península Ibérica. Cuantificar cómo de diferentes son los
requerimientos ecológicos de ambas especies a partir de los resultados del modelo de distribución y
discutir, junto al registro fósil, posibles solapamientos en el área de distribución de ambas especies durante
el periodo Cuaternario. Localización/ecosistema: La península Ibérica. Métodos: Datos de ocurrencia
del área de distribución actual de A. pinsapo y A. alba. Registro polínico fósil durante el Cuaternario en la
Península Ibérica. Bases de datos climáticas y topográficas implementadas en GIS. Modelos de
distribución de especies (Algoritmo MaxEnt). Resultados: Los resultados del SDM mostraron una
notable diferenciación entre los nichos de A. pinsapo y A. alba. El pinsapo aparece restringido a localidades
del extremo Sur y Este de la Cordillera Prebética y Bética con un clima mediterráneo, húmedo pero con
marcada estacionalidad; el abeto blanco muestra idoneidad en zonas montañosas del norte peninsular
(Cordillera Cantábrica, Pirineos y Sistema Ibérico) de clima templado y reducido estrés hídrico estival. El
área de distribución actual de ambas especies es notablemente inferior al área potencial generada por el
modelo. Por otro lado, el registro fósil también indica numerosas localidades en las que los bosques de
abeto estuvieron presentes en el Cuaternario pero no en la actualidad, y que podrían ser adecuadas en el
marco de medidas pro-activas de conservación. Conclusiones: El patrón espacial de distribución de los
abetos ibéricos en el pasado reciente (Cuaternario) coincide con el generado de forma independiente por
el SDM, para el área de distribución actual. El uso de SDMs se mostró adecuado para definir los factores
ambientales determinantes del rango de distribución actual de ambas especies y para identificar posibles
áreas refugio, las cuales han sido además confirmadas por el registro paleopalinológico.

description: En los últimos 30 años, la expansión de la horticultura intensiva bajo plástico en Almería
ha mejorado notablemente el panorama económico de esta región. Pero esta “revolución”
económica tiene otra cara menos amable: la ausencia de una ordenación territorial adecuada y
una ingente demanda de recursos (agua y suelo principalmente), que ha alterado drásticamente
el paisaje y están poniendo en serio aprieto el equilibrio ecológico del sureste árido ibérico.
Teniendo en cuenta la próxima construcción de instalaciones desaladoras de agua de mar en la
costa almeriense, el factor limitante “agua” dejará de serlo, por lo que se prevé un nuevo auge
en la construcción de invernaderos.
Como consecuencia directa, hábitats de pastizales efímeros xerofíticos (considerados de
conservación prioritaria por la Directiva Hábitats 92/43/CEE y algunos propuestos como LIC y
ZEPA) continuarán siendo fragmentados y destruidos, junto con las especies que albergan.
Entre estas, Linaria nigricans Lange (Scrophulariaceae de ciclo anual, protegida por la Ley
8/2003, de 28 de Octubre de Flora y Fauna Andaluza), ha sido escogida para el presente estudio
como especie marcadora de hábitats susceptibles de protección adicional frente a la expansión
de los invernaderos.
La utilización combinada de SIG y modelos predictivos de distribución (Bioclim,
Domain, ENFA, GARP y MaxEnt), aplicados tanto a invernaderos como a la especie
marcadora, permite analizar el estado del hábitat potencial de la especie marcadora y conocer
las áreas de máximo riesgo de ocupación del hábitat por invernaderos. Los resultados, aplicados
a un plan de gestión territorial pueden orientar hacia la resolución de problemas espaciales
derivados del conflicto existente entre desarrollo económico y conservación de la biodiversidad.

description: Canada hosted the Second Trilateral Physician Workforce Conference in Vancouver in November 1997. The themes for the conference included issues related to 'overservicing', 'primary care reform' and 'substitution'. The themes were considered to reflect the common priority issues and concerns confronting the three countries in the area of physician workforce planning. Physician workforce planning had again become a major issue, as some countries had begun to forecast physician shortages in the next few decades. Canada is at the centre of this debate, as its physician supply-per-capita figures have begun to decline recently after over 40 continuous years of (at times rapid) increase. Physician workforce planning and management requires the co-ordinated involvement of a number of stakeholders, and the participants were chosen to represent those organizations and interests that have to be part of the discussion to ensure continued dialogue and concerted action in Canada.

description: BACKGROUND:This scoping review aimed to investigate the literature on the anatomy of the psoas valley, an anterior depression on the acetabular rim, and propose a unified definition of the anatomical structure, describe its dimensions, anatomical variations and clinical implications. METHODS:A systematic computer search of EMBASE, PubMed and Cochrane for literature related to the psoas valley was undertaken using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Clinical outcome studies, prospective/retrospective case series, case reports and review articles that described the psoas valley and its synonyms were included. Studies on animals as well as book chapters were excluded. RESULTS:Of the 313 articles, the filtered literature search identified 14 papers describing the psoas valley and its synonyms such as iliopsoas notch, a notch between anterior inferior iliac spine and the iliopubic eminence, Psoas-U and anterior wall depression. Most of these were cross-sectional studies that mainly analyzed normal skeletal hips. In terms of anatomical variation, 4 different configurations of the anterior acetabular rim have been identified and it was found that the curved type was the most frequent while the straight type may be nonexistent. Additionally, the psoas valley tended to be deeper in males as compared with females. Several papers established the psoas valley, or Psoas-U in a consistent location at approximately 3 o'clock on the acetabular rim which may have implications with labral pathology. CONCLUSION:This review highlights the importance of the anatomy of the psoas valley which is a consistent bony landmark. The anatomy and the anatomical variations of the psoas valley need to be well-appreciated by surgeons involved in the management of young adults with hip pathology and also joint replacement surgeons to ensure appropriate seating of the acetabular component.

description: We study a nonlinear interferometer consisting of two consecutive parametric amplifiers, where all three optical fields (pump, signal and idler) are treated quantum mechanically, allowing for pump depletion and other quantum phenomena. The interaction of all three fields in the final amplifier leads to an interference pattern from which we extract the phase uncertainty. We find that the phase uncertainty oscillates around a saturation level that decreases as the mean number N of input pump photons increases. For optimal interaction strengths, we also find a phase uncertainty below the shot-noise level and obtain a Heisenberg scaling 1/N. This is in contrast to the conventional treatment within the parametric approximation, where the Heisenberg scaling is observed as a function of the number of down-converted photons inside the interferometer.

description: La pérdida y la fragmentación de los hábitats son algunas de las principales causas de amenaza
sobre la biodiversidad. Los ecosistemas áridos mediterráneos del sureste de la Península Ibérica
(España) contienen una excepcional concentración de especies y altos índices de endemismos.
Paisajes y vegetación han evolucionado con prácticas agrícolas y ganaderas tradicionales, pero
recientemente están siendo fuertemente modificados por distintos tipos de explotaciones y, por
tanto, están en peligro.
Linaria nigricans Lange es un endemismo del SE de España que ha sido catalogada como
“Vulnerable” (VU) y que caracteriza un hábitat específico, diverso y original, incluido en la
Directiva de Hábitats de la Unión Europea. Estudiamos la perdida de hábitat efectivo de Linaria
nigricans así como el efecto de la fragmentación, usando series de fotos aéreas tomadas en 1957,
1977, 1985, 1990 y 1999, junto con trabajos de campo realizados entre 2004 y 2005 (GPS y GIS).
Hemos monitorizado los cambios a largo plazo en las distintas poblaciones y evaluado el impacto
del turismo y del desarrollo agrícola no tradicional, que son causa principal de la fragmentación y
reducción de los hábitats naturales.
Siguiendo el ritmo actual de destrucción, en breves años se perderán algunas poblaciones y otras
quedarán muy mermadas. Nuestro estudio muestra que Linaria nigricans debe ser recalificada
como especie “En Peligro” (EN). Debido al deterioro, tanto de la especie como del hábitat, son
necesarias medidas urgentes para su conservación, como la aplicación de legislación vigente y la
implementación de un programa de manejo adecuado

description: We employ light-induced double Bragg diffraction of delta-kick collimated Bose-Einstein condensates to create three symmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers. They rely on (i) first-order, (ii) two successive first-order, and (iii) second-order processes which demonstrate the scalability of the corresponding momentum transfer. With respect to devices based on conventional Bragg scattering, these symmetric interferometers double the scale factor and feature a better suppression of noise and systematic uncertainties intrinsic to the diffraction process. Moreover, we utilize these interferometers as tiltmeters for monitoring their inclination with respect to gravity.
Structure and regeneration of old-growth stands in the engelmann spruce - subalpine fir zone
Creators: name: Klinka, Karel
Publisher: name: Forest Sciences Department, University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Old-growth stands are important for management, conservation, wildlife, recreation, and maintaining biological diversity in forested landscapes. However, we are lacking the information needed to adequately identify and characterize old-growth stands. This is especially true for high elevation, interior forests. The characterization of stand structure and regeneration pattern will help in the development of site-specific guidelines for identifying old growth stands and restoring some of the old-growth characteristics in managed stands. This pamphlet presents a synopsis of a study investigating stand structure and regeneration of old-growth stands in the Moist Cold Engelmann Spruce - Subalpine Fir (ESSFmc) Subzone near Smithers, B.C. The three stands selected for the study were located on zonal sites, each in different watersheds, and the stands were established after fire. The criteria used for selection were: i) absence of lodgepole pine, ii) presence of advanced regeneration, and iii) abundant snags and coarse woody debris. These stands were presumed to represent the old-growth stage of stand development or the final (climax) stage of secondary succession.

description: We present a detailed study of the effects of imperfect atom-optical manipulation in Bragg-based light-pulse atom interferometers. Off-resonant higher-order diffraction leads to population loss, spurious interferometer paths, and diffraction phases. In a path-dependent formalism, we study numerically various effects and analyze the interference signal caused by an external phase or gravity. We compare first-order single and double Bragg diffraction in retroreflective setups. In double Bragg diffraction, phase imperfections lead to a beating due to three-path interference. Some effects of diffraction phases can be avoided by adding the population of the outer exit ports of double diffraction.

description: Dark matter or violations of the Einstein equivalence principle influence the motion of atoms, their internal states as well as electromagnetic fields, thus causing a signature in the signal of atomic detectors. To model such new physics, we introduce dilaton fields and study the modified propagation of light used to manipulate atoms in light-pulse atom interferometers. Their interference signal is dominated by the matter’s coupling to gravity and the dilaton. Even though the electromagnetic field contributes to the phase, no additional dilaton-dependent effect can be observed. However, the light’s propagation in gravity enters via a modified momentum transfer and its finite speed. For illustration, we discuss effects from light propagation and the dilaton on different atom-interferometric setups, including gradiometers, equivalence principle tests, and dark matter detection.
Electrochemical processes of bio-analytical importance at micro- and nano-liquid | liquid interfaces

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2009

description: The work presented herein describes the voltammetric characterisation of arrays of miniaturised (either to the micro- or nano-scale) interfaces between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES), by ion transfer (IT) electrochemistry of the model tetraethylammonium cation (TEA+) via cyclic voltammetry, and the use of macro- and micro-scale ITIES as a novel approach to study the behaviour of, and improve the analytical sensitivity to, analytes of biological importance.

The organic phase was gellified with poly (vinyl chloride) to increase the mechanical stability of the microITIES arrays (confined within 100 micrometer deep silicon pores). IT of TEA+ revealed the liquid-organogel interface as essentially inlaid on the aqueous side of the micropore channel, the TEA+ diffusion coefficient reduced 9-fold in the organogel, and only microITIES array designs with sufficiently large pore-to-pore separations achieved steady-state behaviour. The microITIES arrays were characterised with TEA+ under hydrodynamic conditions and hydrodynamic voltammograms created for a mixture of oligopeptides. Using an organogel allowed implementation of voltammetric stripping techniques at the microITIES arrays greatly improving the detection limits and sensitivities for a selection of oligopeptides compared with those attained at the macroITIES.

The first reported use of geometrically regular solid-state nanopore arrays, fabricated in 100 nm thick Si3N4 membranes, to support nanoscale ITIES is presented. IT of TEA+ for a variety of nanoITIES array designs (in terms of pore radii, pore-to-pore separation, and array pore numbers) is outlined. The results suggest that nanoITIES arrays exhibiting overlapping diffusion zones behave as one mITIES.

The electrochemical response of hen-egg-white lysozyme at the macroITIES was dominated by the charge of lysozyme in the aqueous phase and the nature of the organic phase anion. It is proposed that lysozyme does not transfer across the ITIES itself but absorbs on the aqueous side of the ITIES facilitating the transfer of the organic anion.

la delimitación de ámbitos de actuación para los planes de conservación.
De las 108 especies consideradas inicialmente, solo 89 presentaron datos suficientes
para generar los modelos. De éstas, para 53 se consiguieron modelos aplicables, para
20 se obtuvieron modelos que hay que aplicar con precaución, y para 16 especies se
obtuvieron modelos no aplicables, que se deben descartar por su baja calidad.
En los apartados finales se discute la naturaleza de los posibles errores, y se des-
cribe la organización del material digital entregado.
Por último, es importante reseñar que toda la información digital generada está en
formatos que facilitan su integración en la REDIAM. Adicionalmente, mantendremos
copias debidamente documentadas de todos los datos en el Laboratorio de Ecología
del CEAMA.
Estimated decrease in productivity for pacific silver fir as elevation increases

description: When making decisions on which areas to harvest in a sustained yield, even-flow manner in mountainous areas such those in coastal British Columbia, it is important to know how timber productivity changes with elevation. This information allows foresters to decide at what elevation to start increasing the rotation age and to decide at what elevation sustainable harvesting becomes infeasible due to low productivity. Since Pacific silver fir (Abies amabilis Dougl. ex Forbes) has an elevation range that extends from sea level nearly to the tree line (0 m to approximately 1,650 m; from the Coastal Western Hemlock zone, through the Mountain Hemlock zone; to the lower limits of the Alpine Tundra zone), productivity-elevation relationships are especially important. To acquire quantitative measures of productivity decrease with increasing elevation a regression equation relating site index (the height of the dominant trees at a base age of breast height age of 50 years) to elevation in southern coastal BC was developed. In turn, we used this regression as an input into the height driven yield model named the Variable Density Yield Prediction model (VDYP). The use of the VDYP model allows the site index values to be translated into actual productivity measures (e.g., volume per hectare, mean annual increment at culmination age).

description: Teniendo en cuenta todo lo anterior, proponemos el diseño y desarrollo de un sistema que permita documentar modelos ambientales, indicando sus características principales (formato informático, objetivos, plataforma de ejecución, etc.), con objeto de facilitar su acceso y utilización por parte de los gestores y científicos. Esta propuesta tomará la forma de una aplicación informática modular y escalable que permitirá documentar y ejecutar dichos modelos en el entorno de la red corporativa de la Consejería de Medio Ambiente. De forma más concreta, los objetivos del proyecto son:
Diseñar un repositorio de modelos ambientales de interés para la gestión de los recursos naturales en el seno de la REDIAM.
Identificar y caracterizar con detalle iniciativas internacionales y nacionales que tengan objetivos similares a los planteados en este proyecto.
Catalogar, documentar e integrar en el repositorio anterior todos los modelos ambientales existentes y de interés elaborados en el contexto de la Consejería de Medio Ambiente y de la Universidad de Granada.
Durante el transcurso de los trabajos se llegó a un acuerdo entre la CMA y el CEAMA para sustituir el tercer objetivo por el siguiente: Avanzar en el diseño de procedimientos para que el repositorio de modelos pueda ejecutar con diversas modalidades los modelos que contenga.

description: Characterization of the grown cadmium oxalate single crystals is an essential requirement to describe, confront and explain their various properties. Cadmium oxalate trihydrate (CdC O ·3H O) single crystals suitable for the present investigation 2 4 2 were grown using controlled diffusion process in silica gels. Cadmium oxalate trihydrate crystal shows direct and indirect allowed optical transitions. If a beam of photons with hí > E falls on a crystal surface, there will be some predictable amount of absorption, g determined by intrinsic properties of the material. The ratio of transmitted to incident radiation intensity is expected to depend on impinging photon wavelength and thickness of the sample.The value of direct allowed band gap as E = 4.4 eV and indirect allowed g band gap as E = 4.24 eV.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Envisioning a Community Exemplar for Sustainability in and by ICT

description: We understand sustainability as a perspective on the performance of various kinds of systems that puts human well-being in the center of focus. Recognizing that information and communication technology (ICT) is shaping our modern society, there is a need to understand the impact of ICT on sustainability. On the one hand this can be achieved, for example, by extending classic software development approaches to cover sustainability issues. This can be coined sustainability in ICT. On the other hand, innovative ICT approaches offer the potential of directly addressing sustainability issues (sustainability by ICT). Within the ICT4S community, both perspectives are addressed. What is missing, is an overarching perspective that helps to identify interlinkages. In this contribution, we present the case of an online-shop selling ICT hardware products as an community exemplar. We exemplify the usefulness as an overarching example, by relating parts of our existing work on ICT sustainability to it: a process model of the sales process, as well as a representation of sustainability risks related to the sold ICT products. Additionally, we show how ICT4S papers from 2016 can be mapped to the exemplar. We conclude with presenting a community website, where we invite fellow researchers and practitioners to contribute to a growing wealth of sustainability insights.

description: The genus Delminichthys consists of allopatric species restricted to ephemeral watercourses in the karst fields of the left-bank (D. ghetaldii) and the right-bank (D. adspersus and D. jadovensis) Neretva River basin as well as in the Una River drainage (D. krbavensis). The first aim addressed questions of interspecies variation and phylogenetic relationships among Delminichthys based on time-calibrated analysis of cyt b mtDNA (cytochrome b) and COI mtDNA (cytochrome c subunit I) mitochondrial DNA genes. Species-specific haplogroups supported two mtDNA genes as suitable barcoding markers, while we additionally proposed character-based and genetic distance threshold-based delimitation of species. We confirmed that the Pliocene and Pleistocene refugium for freshwater species was the Neretva basin, promoting the diversification of the genus Delminichthys. Our second aim was to test the population structure of D. ghetaldii (Southern Dalmatian minnow) by performing an integrative study using molecular mtDNA data, linear and geometric morphometric data. We consider that the spatial aspects of the population genealogical structure of D. ghetaldii mirror the Pleistocene paleodrainages. The differentiated COI mtDNA clusters corresponding to the populations from Fatničko Polje+Dabarsko Polje and Ljubomirsko Polje+Konavosko Polje represent geographically discrete genetic entities, which should be addressed through conservation management.

description: Nowadays, two fundamental pillars of human existence are environmental protection and sustainable development. Governments and international organizations play an important role in this process. Without serious regional interactions and international cooperation, sustainability in development and environmental protection will not happen. Except for international interactions and global peace, sustainable development and development sustainability are not on their accurate paths. An effective method for natural resources and ecosystems conservation is environmental diplomacy. Therefore, environmental discussions are extremely important reasons for international convergence. Through convergence attitude, the international community can reach the global environmental conservation strategies. In this study, it is attempted to determine the international environmental law evolution and the governments’ roles in environmental challenges underlying the international convergence and legal fundamentals. It is concluded that, environmental threats and hazards resulted from illogical human act can be solved by international convergence, environmental conservation and global peace.

description: In a retroreflective scheme with an atom initially at rest, atomic Raman diffraction adopts some of the properties of Bragg diffraction due to additional couplings to off-resonant momenta. As a consequence, double Raman diffraction has to be performed in a Bragg-type regime, where the pulse duration is sufficiently long to suppress diffraction into spurious orders. Taking advantage of this regime, double Raman allows for resonant higher-order diffraction. We study theoretically the case of third-order diffraction and compare it to first order as well as a sequence of first-order Raman pulses giving rise to the same momentum transfer as the third-order pulse. Moreover, we demonstrate that interferometry is possible, and we investigate amplitude and contrast of a third-order double Raman Mach-Zehnder interferometer. In fact, third-order diffraction constitutes a competitive tool for the diffraction of ultracold atoms and interferometry based on large momentum transfer since it allows one to reduce the complexity of the experiment as well as the total duration of the diffraction process compared to a sequence, at the cost of higher pulse intensities.

Subjects: Geography

description: In this study the researcher tried to expose the connection between tourism and terrorism and overviewed the negative impact of terrorism on the arrival of both foreign and domestic tourists, which is the main objective of this study. The case study and the data presented in the paper approved the connection between terrorism in all its forms and tourism. The study indicated that tourism activities break down for a while due to terrorism but could not end. Tourism flourishes with the strong pace afterwards. Terrorism, which is unpredictable and which may take place at anytime and anywhere, has a major negative impact on tourism. Moreover, ideology plays a critical role in tourism. At the end of the study the researcher stipulated different recommendations concerning the subject of this study.
