Light-Front Nuclear Physics: Mean Field Theory for Finite Nuclei

description: A light-front treatment for finite nuclei is developed from a relativistic effective Lagrangian (QHD1) involving nucleons, scalar mesons and vector mesons. We show that the necessary variational principle is a constrained one which fixes the expectation value of the total momentum operator $P^+$ to be the same as that for $P^-$. This is the same as minimizing the sum of the total momentum operators: $P^-+P^+$. We obtain a new light-front version of the equation that defines the single nucleon modes. The solutions of this equation are approximately a non-trivial phase factor times certain solutions of the usual equal-time Dirac equation. The ground state wave function is treated as a meson-nucleon Fock state, and the meson fields are treated as expectation values of field operators in that ground state. The resulting equations for these expectation values are shown to be closely related to the usual meson field equations. A new numerical technique to solve the self-consistent field equations is introduced and applied to $^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca. The computed binding energies are essentially the same as for the usual equal-time theory. The nucleon plus momentum distribution (probability for a nucleon to have a given value of $p^+$) is obtained, and peaks for values of $p^+$ about seventy percent of the nucleon mass. The mesonic component of the ground state wave function is used to determine the scalar and vector meson momentum distribution functions, with a result that the vector mesons carry about thirty percent of the nuclear plus-momentum. The vector meson momentum distribution becomes more concentrated at $p^+=0$ as $A$ increases.

description: Purpose: To analyze the air density dependence of the response of the new SourceCheck 4pi ionization chamber, manufactured by PTW. Methods: The air density dependence of three different SourceCheck 4pi chambers was studied by measuring 125I sources. Measurements were taken by varying the pressure from 746.6 to 986.6hPa in a pressure chamber. Three different HDR 1000 Plus ionization chambers were also analyzed under similar conditions. A linear and a potential-like function of the air density were fitted to experimental data and their achievement in describing them was analyzed. Results: SourceCheck 4pi chamber response showed a residual dependence on the air density once the standard pressure and temperature factor was applied. The chamber response was overestimated when the air density was below that under normal atmospheric conditions. A similar dependence was found for the HDR 1000 Plus chambers analyzed. A linear function of the air density permitted a very good description of this residual dependence, better than with a potential function. No significant variability between the different specimens of the same chamber model studied was found. Conclusion: The effect of overestimation observed in the chamber responses once they are corrected for the standard pressure and temperature may represent a non-negligible ~4% overestimation in high altitude cities as ours (700 m AMSL). This overestimation behaves linearly with the air density in all cases analyzed.

description: The dynamics of fission has been studied by solving Euler-Lagrange equation with dissipation generated through one and two body nuclear friction. The average kinetic energies of the fission fragments, prescission neutron multiplicities and the mean energies of the prescission neutrons have been calculated and compared with experimental values and they agree quite well. A single value of friction coefficient has been used to reproduce the experimental data for both symmetric and asymmetric splitting of the fissioning systems over a wide range of masses and excitation energies. It has been observed that a stronger friction is required in the saddle to scission region as compared to that in the ground state to saddle region.

description: We study a geometric variational problem for sets in the plane in which the perimeter and a regularized dipolar interaction compete under a mass constraint. In contrast to previously studied nonlocal isoperimetric problems, here the nonlocal term asymptotically localizes and contributes to the perimeter term to leading order. We establish existence of generalized minimizers for all values of the dipolar strength, mass and regularization cutoff and give conditions for existence of classical minimizers. For subcritical dipolar strengths we prove that the limiting functional is a renormalized perimeter and that for small cutoff lengths all mass-constrained minimizers are disks. For critical dipolar strength, we identify the next-order $Γ$-limit when sending the cutoff length to zero and prove that with a slight modification of the dipolar kernel there exist masses for which classical minimizers are not disks.

 Abstract Neratinib (Nerlynx®) is an oral, irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (HER1), HER2 and HER4. Neratinib therapy for 12 months significantly reduced the risk of invasive disease recurrence or death relative to placebo at both 2 and 5 years post-randomization in the pivotal ExteNET trial in women with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer who had completed adjuvant trastuzumab. Subgroup analyses showed that patients with hormone receptor (HRc)-positive disease derived greater benefit with neratinib than patient with HRc-negative disease, and patients who initiated neratinib within 1 year of completing trastuzumab had better outcomes than those who started treatment 1–2 years after trastuzumab. This led to the approval of neratinib in the EU as extended adjuvant therapy for patients with early-stage hormone receptor (HRc)-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer and who are © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018
Enhancement of zonal flow damping due to resonant magnetic perturbations in the background of an equilibrium $E \times B$ sheared flow

description: Using a parametric interaction formalism, we show that the equilibrium sheared rotation can enhance the zonal flow damping effect found in Ref. [M. Leconte and P.H. Diamond, \emph{Phys. Plasmas} 19, 055903 (2012)]. This additional damping contribution is proportional to $(L_s/L_V)^2 \times δB_r^2 / B^2$, where $L_s/L_V$ is the ratio of magnetic shear length to the scale-length of equilibrium $E \times B$ flow shear, and $δB_r / B$ is the amplitude of the external magnetic perturbation normalized to the background magnetic field.

Horizontal Tau air showers from mountains in deep valley. Traces of UHECR neutrino tau

description: Ultra High Energy (UHE) Tau neutrino may lead to a very peculiar imprint in future underground $Km^3$ detectors in water and ice as well as in air: rarest secondary tau tracks and decay which may exceed the muon ones. Indeed Bremsstrahlung at high energy lead to longer tracks for heavier leptons. Radiation lenght grows nearly with the square of the lepton mass. Indeed electrons are too light and their trace in matter (liquid or rock) is negligible (tens of centimeters); muons are much better observed, while tau are too short life time and too short range to be found. However, because relativistic time expansion, UHE tau traces in matter, above $10^{17} eV$, are relativistically boosted overcoming the corresponding muon tracks, already bounded by bremsstrahlung logarithmic regime. The tau crossing for Kms in water or ice may be confused with common muon tracks; their tau decay may be misunderstood as muonic catastrophic bremsstrahlung interactions. To economize UHE tau discovery, we suggest to look the tau decay in air into the deep valleys mountains, like Canyons or deep in excavation mines where horizontal air showers induce fluorescent or Cerenkov lights. The mountain valley width screens from horizontal secondary muons. The valley height increases the solid angle view. The horizontal air Kms-size gap offer a strong discriminator to filter UHE muons against tau. Tens event a year at PeV (W resonance peak) energies in $Km^3$ excavation gap should be observable . Hunting air shower in the night toward high mountains in Canyons or in a deep excavation may be the best and cheapest way to discover UHE neutrinos, either born by electron anti neutrino scattering on electrons at PeV energies, or by direct tau neutrino possibly relic of muonic flavour oscillation even at EeV energies.

description: An anti-bacterial filter was developed using poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers using electrospinning method blended with silver nanoparticles (AgNO3) of varying weight percentages of filler. Polypropylene (PP) non-woven substrate was used as base material for collecting the nanofibers. It also acted as a barrier to protect the fibers. UV-visible spectroscopy and fourier transform infra red spectroscopy confirmed the uniform dispersion of silver nanoparticles throughout the nanofibers. The experiment was designed using Box–Behnken statistical tool through three different variables namely, PP non-woven sheets (GSM), electrospinning time (hours), concentration of silver (wt%) in 15 runs. Surface morphology was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed for the analyses of mass decomposition of the material. Bacterial filtration efficiency and anti-bacterial activity studies were tested against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli for both PVDF + 0 wt% Ag fibers and PVDF-Ag nanofibers. This research shows the bacterial filtration efficiency for the prepared PVDF-Ag nanofibers as 99.86%. The prepared nanofilter was shown providing greater possibilities towards the application for clean air management. © Copyright 2019 American Association for Aerosol Research

publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 2008

description: Instructions to forget presented information are often given and it is necessary to further understand how those involved can be affected by what is called "directed forgetting". The purpose of the current study was to investigate if a video stimuli would produce directed forgetting using the list method and a recognition style test. In addition, viewing live motion events has been suggested to be a more relevant modality to examine directed forgetting and thus another purpose of the current study was to utilize video stimuli to create a more valid assessment of this phenomenon. Participants (N=181) were selected through the use of convenience sampling to participate in the current study. They viewed a video and then were instructed to either remember or forget this first video. They were then presented with a second video which was identical except for 8 specific manipulations. All participants completed a recognition test which included a confidence assessment for either the first or second video. The first hypothesis that participants who were instructed to forget a video and remember a second video would have lower recognition accuracy for the first video compared to those instructed to remember both videos, thus producing the directed forgetting phenomenon was not supported. Also, the hypothesis that participants who were instructed to forget the first video would have better recognition accuracy for the second video then those instructed to remember both videos was not supported. Finally, the hypothesis that participants who were instructed to forget the first video would have lower confidence in their answers on the first video and higher confidence on the second video compared to the remember groups who would have higher confidence on both videos was also not supported. Limitations and future directions are addressed.

description: The radiative transfer equation models the interaction of radiation with scattering and absorbing media and has important applications in various fields in science and engineering. It is an integro-differential equation involving time, space and angular variables and contains an integral term in angular directions while being hyperbolic in space. The challenges for its numerical solution include the needs to handle with its high dimensionality, the presence of the integral term, and the development of discontinuities and sharp layers in its solution along spatial directions. Its numerical solution is studied in this paper using an adaptive moving mesh discontinuous Galerkin method for spatial discretization together with the discrete ordinate method for angular discretization. The former employs a dynamic mesh adaptation strategy based on moving mesh partial differential equations to improve computational accuracy and efficiency. Its mesh adaptation ability, accuracy, and efficiency are demonstrated in a selection of one- and two-dimensional numerical examples.

description: A total of 25 algal blooms were observed during three separate surveys of the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario, conducted during August 2010, September 2010 and September 2011. Here we define algal blooms based on the direct measurement of phytoplankton biomass (>3 g m−3) and not proxy measures such as chlorophyll a. In this chronically eutrophic embayment, we observed 8 diatom blooms (Aulacoseira spp.), 7 cyanobacteria blooms (Dolichospermum, Gloeotrichia, Microcystis, etc.) and 10 more that were mixtures of both taxa. At the cyano-bloom sites, ≈50% or more of the total biomass was composed of species known to be toxigenic. High rates of primary production (40 – 160 mg C m−3 h−1) by the larger algal size classes (>20 μm and 2–20 μm) indicated that there were few constraints on photosynthesis during bloom events (both diatom and cyanobacteria). Productivity to biomass quotients were considerably higher for filamentous algal forms (>9 for both diatoms and cyanobacteria) compared to colonial cyanobacteria (<5) suggesting that filamentous algae are more photosynthetically efficient. Our findings showed the observed algal blooms to be diverse and dynamic entities; management strategies need to recognize the unique characteristics of individual bloom events. Moreover, long term research and monitoring programs are necessary for the application of adaptive management strategies in order to address persistent ecosystem stressors like eutrophication.

description: This manuscript describes the synthesis of magnetic composite adsorbents which consist of carbon matrix and magnetic nanoparticles. The carbon matrix originated from simultaneous decomposition and activation of two different precursors, namely glucose and sucrose. KOH and ZnCl2 were used as the activating agents. The inclusion of carbon-encapsulated iron nanoparticles in the course of the synthesis process resulted in mobile composite adsorbents which can be easily separated. The structural features of carbon-encapsulated iron nanoparticles make the developed composite resistant to aggressive corrosion agents. The adsorption performance of the composites was studied in the removal of phenolic compounds from aqueous solutions.

The Monte Carlo code PENELOPE was used to estimate the overall correction factor $f_{\rm c,Q}$ of these chambers for electron beams with nominal energies ranging between 6 and 22 MeV, corresponding to a Varian Clinac 2100 C/D. A $^{60}$Co beam was used as reference quality ${\rm Q}_0$. Also eight monoenergetic electron beams reproducing the quality index $R_{50}$ of the Clinac beams were considered. The $k_{Q,Q_{0}}$ factors were calculated as the ratio between $f_{\rm c,Q}$ and $f_{{\rm c,Q}_0}$. Those obtained for the NE2571 ionization chamber show a nice agreement with those calculated by Muir and Rogers with EGSnrc. As it occurred to other ionization chambers analyzed in previous works, the $k_{{\rm Q,Q}_0}$ factors found for the monoenergetic beams are larger (smaller) than those corresponding to the Clinac beams at low (high) $R_{50}$ values, the differences being slightly above $0.5\%$. Finally, the $k_{{\rm Q,Q}_0}$ factors obtained in the case of the NE2571A chamber are systematically ~0.5% below those of its predecessor chamber, the NE2571.

description: We calculate the rate of production of W+Upsilon and Z+Upsilon at the Tevatron. We find the cross sections at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV to be roughly 450 pb for W+Upsilon and 150 pb for Z+Upsilon. The dominant production mechanism involves the binding of a color-octet b-bbar pair into a P-wave bottomonium state which subsequently decays into Upsilon. The purely leptonic decay modes of Upsilon, W, and Z provide signatures with small backgrounds. In Run I of the Tevatron, the number of events in the purely leptonic decay channels before allowing for detector acceptances and efficiencies should be about 500 for W+Upsilon and about 60 for Z+Upsilon. We conclude that W+Upsilon events may be observable in the Run I data.

description: L'entretien a été enregistré dans le service maternité de l’hôpital Calmette (Phnom-Penh, Cambodge), auprès d’un père de 32 ans qui travail dans une société de services de plongée sous-marine en Thaïlande, le cinquième jour après la naissance de son premier enfant. L’enregistrement débute par des questions sur les connaissances du père à propos du colostrum. L’informateur explique qu’il ne sait pas exactement ce que c’est mais qu’il en a déjà entendu parler à travers des publicités dans les médias (télévision). Il confie à l'informatrice que c’est son premier enfant et qu'il n'a pas d'expériences avec les enfants. Il aborde son nouveau rôle de père et le soutien qu’il va apporter à sa femme le temps qu’elle se rétablisse de sa césarienne. Il aborde le coût financier de la césarienne et l’aide de sa famille pour payer le séjour à l’hôpital. L'informateur explique à l'enquêtrice qu’il n’a pas d’opinion concernant le lait artificiel. Cependant, il précise que les boîtes sont chères pour leur situation financière. Il pense que le lait maternel est meilleur. Il confie que sa femme n’a pas assez de lait maternel pour l’instant et que sa belle-sœur a pris l'initiative de lui acheter une boîte de lait artificiel, en complément en attendant la montée de lait. Il raconte à l’enquêtrice pourquoi il a choisi de quitter le dispensaire pour faire accoucher sa femme à la maternité de l’hôpital Calmette. Il aborde ensuite le retour de la famille à la maison. Il se confie ensuite sur son emploi, en Thaïlande et la difficulté de voir sa famille. Il qualifie ce choix de travailler en Thaïlande comme un sacrifice volontaire pour sa famille. L’enquêtrice revient ensuite sur des questions sur le colostrum. L’informateur lui raconte qu’il pense avoir pris le colostrum de sa mère nourrisson car il n'y avait pas de lait artificiel. Il se confie sur son bonheur de devenir père. Il aborde également le fait qu’il faut faire attention au "toas" (des dangers pour la maman à éviter) pour éviter que sa femme ne tombe malade. Il raconte également qu'avec son travail en Thaïlande, il peut demander un congé de paternité pour s’occuper sa femme et de son enfant. Il explique les avantages de l’allaitement en précisant qu’il sait que le don de colostrum est important. Il a remarqué que son enfant semble plus rassasié avec le biberon de lait artificiel qu’avec le lait maternel. L'enquête se termine sur l'utilisation du lait du commerce et les boîtes de lait artificiel.

description: Pheidole ambigua new species
Types Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard.
etymology L ambigua, uncertain, doubtful.
diagnosis A medium-sized member of the tristis group, similar to amata, celaena, fera, germaini, peruviana, rutilana, schwarzmaieri, vomer, and possibly the same as bruchi of Argentina, on the basis of resemblance of the minor (major syntypes of bruchi could not be located in the Forel collection at the time of study). The paratype minor of ambigua differs from a syntype minor of bruchi in its more abundant pilosity, lighter color, and foveolate promesonotal dorsum. Otherwise, ambigua is distinguished within the tristis group by the following combination of traits.
Major: anterior two-thirds of dorsum of head carinulate, remainder smooth and shiny; carinulae on rest of body limited to anterior strip of pronotal dorsum; humerus in dorsal-oblique view moderately prominent and lobose; postpetiole from above diamond-shaped. Minor: pilosity sparse; propodeal spines reduced to denticles; promesonotal profile in dorsal-oblique view smoothly convex; occiput narrowed, with a nuchal collar.
Measurements (mm) Holotype major: HW 1.54, HL 1.74, SL 0.78, EL 0.18, PW 0.72.
Paratype minor: HW 0.56, HL 0.62, SL 0.74, EL 0.40, PW 0.36.
color Major: light reddish yellow.
Minor: body light yellowish brown, appendages yellow.
range Known only from the type locality.

description: The decay mode B -> rho pi is currently studied as a channel allowing, in principle, to measure without ambiguities the angle alpha of the unitarity triangle. It is also investigated by the CLEO Collaboration where a branching ratio larger than expected for the decay mode B+/- -> rho0 pi+/- has been found. We investigate the role that the B* and B(0+) resonances play in these analyses.

description: We introduce two classes of novel color superalgebras of $ \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 $ grading. This is done by realizing members of each in the universal enveloping algebra of the ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric extension of the conformal Galilei algebra. This allows us to upgrade any representation of the super conformal Galilei algebras to a representation of the $ \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 $ graded algebra. As an example, boson-fermion Fock space representation of one class is given. We also provide a vector field realization of members of the other class by using a generalization of the Grassmann calculus to $ \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 $ graded setting.

feasibility trial

description: Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the commonest primary malignant brain tumour in adults and effective treatment options are limited. Combining local chemotherapy with enhanced surgical resection using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) could improve outcomes. Here we assess the safety and feasibility of combining BCNU wafers with 5-ALA-guided surgery. Methods We conducted a multicentre feasibility study of 5-ALA with BCNU wafers followed by standard-of-care chemoradiotherapy (chemoRT) in patients with suspected GBM. Patients judged suitable for radical resection were administered 5-ALA pre-operatively and BCNU wafers at the end resection. Post-operative treatment continued as per routine clinical practice. The primary objective was to establish if combining 5-ALA and BCNU wafers is safe without compromising patients from receiving standard chemoRT. Results Seventy-two patients were recruited, sixty-four (88.9%) received BCNU wafer implants, and fifty-nine (81.9%) patients remained eligible following formal histological diagnosis. Seven (11.9%) eligible patients suffered surgical complications but only two (3.4%) were not able to begin chemoRT, four (6.8%) additional patients did not begin chemoRT within 6 weeks of surgery due to surgical complications. Eleven (18.6%) patients did not begin chemoRT for other reasons (other toxicity (n = 3), death (n = 3), lost to follow-up/withdrew (n = 3), clinical decision (n = 1), poor performance status (n = 1)). Median progression-free survival was 8.7 months (95% CI: 6.4–9.8) and median overall survival was 14.7 months (95% CI: 11.7–16.8). Conclusions Combining BCNU wafers with 5-ALA-guided surgery in newly diagnosed GBM patients is both feasible and tolerable in terms of surgical morbidity and overall toxicity. Any potential therapeutic benefit for the sequential use of 5-ALA and BCNU with chemoRT requires further investigation with improved local delivery technologies.

description: A model of competition between complete fusion and quasifission channels in fusion of two massive nuclei is extended to include the influence of dissipative effects on the dynamics of nuclear fusion. By using the multidimensional Kramers-type stationary solution of the Fokker-Planck equation, the fusion rate through the inner fusion barrier in mass asymmetry is studied. Fusion probabilities in symmetric 90Zr+90Zr, 100Mo+100Mo, 110Pd+110Pd, 136Xe+136Xe, almost symmetric 86Kr+136Xe and 110Pd+136Xe reactions are calculated. An estimation of the fusion probabilities is given for asymmetrical 62Ni+208Pb, 70Zn+208Pb, 82Se+208Pb, and 48Ca+244Pu reactions used for the synthesis of new superheavy elements.

description: We evaluated the association between short-term change in body mass index (BMI) and breast density during a 1 year weight-loss intervention (Manchester, UK). We included 65 premenopausal women (35–45 years, ≥7 kg adult weight gain, family history of breast cancer). BMI and breast density (semi-automated area-based, automated volume-based) were measured at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years after study entry (1 year post intervention). Cross-sectional (between-women) and short-term change (within-women) associations between BMI and breast density were measured using repeated-measures correlation coefficients and multivariable linear mixed models. BMI was positively correlated with dense volume between-women (r = 0.41, 95%CI: 0.17, 0.61), but less so within-women (r = 0.08, 95%CI: −0.16, 0.28). There was little association with dense area (between-women r = −0.12, 95%CI: −0.38, 0.16; within-women r = 0.01, 95%CI: −0.24, 0.25). BMI and breast fat were positively correlated (volume: between r = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.69, 0.84, within r = 0.58, 95%CI: 0.36, 0.75; area: between r = 0.74, 95%CI: 0.63, 0.82, within r = 0.45, 95%CI: 0.23, 0.63). Multivariable models reported similar associations. Exploratory analysis suggested associations between BMI gain from 20 years and density measures (standard deviation change per +5 kg/m2 BMI: dense area: +0.61 (95%CI: 0.12, 1.09); fat volume: −0.31 (95%CI: −0.62, 0.00)). Short-term BMI change is likely to be positively associated with breast fat, but we found little association with dense tissue, although power was limited by small sample size.

description: We present a new pulsar wind nebula (PWN) model solving both advection and diffusion of non-thermal particles in a self-consistent way to satisfy the momentum and energy conservation laws. Assuming spherically symmetric (1--D) steady outflow, we calculate the emission spectrum integrating over the entire nebula and the radial profile of the surface brightness. We find that the back reaction of the particle diffusion modifies the flow profile. The photon spectrum and the surface brightness profile are different from the model calculations without the back reaction of the particle diffusion. Our model is applied to the two well-studied PWNe 3C 58 and G21.5-0.9. By fitting the spectra of these PWNe, we determine the parameter sets and calculate the radial profiles of X-ray surface brightness. For both the objects, obtained profiles of X-ray surface brightness and photon index are well consistent with observations. Our model suggests that particles escaped from the nebula significantly contribute to the gamma-ray flux. A $γ$-ray halo larger than the radio nebula is predicted in our model.
