description: Solar filaments often erupt partially. Although how they split remains elusive, the splitting process has the potential of revealing the filament structure and eruption mechanism. Here we investigate the pre-eruption splitting of an apparently single filament and its subsequent partial eruption on 2012 September 27. The evolution is characterized by three stages with distinct dynamics. During the quasi-static stage, the splitting proceeds gradually for about 1.5 hrs, with the upper branch rising at a few kilometers per second and displaying swirling motions about its axis. During the precursor stage that lasts for about 10 min, the upper branch rises at tens of kilometers per second, with a pair of conjugated dimming regions starting to develop at its footpoints; with the swirling motions turning chaotic, the axis of the upper branch whips southward, which drives an arc-shaped EUV front propagating in the similar direction. During the eruption stage, the upper branch erupts with the onset of a C3.7-class two-ribbon flare, while the lower branch remains stable. Judging from the well separated footpoints of the upper branch from those of the lower one, we suggest that the pre-eruption filament processes a double-decker structure composed of two distinct flux bundles, whose formation is associated with gradual magnetic flux cancellations and converging photospheric flows around the polarity inversion line.

description: We consider a Schrödinger quantum dynamics for the gravitational field associated to a FRW spacetime and then we solve the corresponding eigenvalue problem. We show that, from a phenomenological point of view, an Evolutionary Quantum Cosmology overlaps the Wheeler-DeWitt approach. We also show how a so peculiar solution can be inferred to describe the more interesting case of a generic cosmological model.

description: Wicks are the main component of Loop Heat Pipe systems, whereby coolant liquid flow through their porous structure. They are usually formed by a primary wick to produce liquid transportation by capillary force, and a secondary wick that is continuously wetted by the liquid coolant. Traditionally, the two wicks are manufactured separately and subsequently joined, thereby creating an interface that reduces the liquid transfer efficiency. In order to overcome this situation, a gradient porous wick is proposed and successfully manufactured through the freeze-casting method in a single operation. The influence of two different dispersant agents, KD4 and stearic acid was studied on the processing parameters, final pore size and morphology, and capillarity performances. A variate of gradient porosity was obtained by applying a diverse thermal gradient and solidification front velocity during directional solidification. The rheological characterisation of the camphene-based NiO suspensions was performed using a rotational viscometer. The final pore size and morphology were characterised by Optical Microscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, and X-ray computed tomography. The use of stearic acid improves the particle stabilisation and generates pore enlargement with an equiaxed pore structure, while commercial dispersant KD4 shows a dendritic pore morphology at lower thermal gradient.

description: This article defines the ‘zero text’ as a text that is completely absent(ed) and is replaced by its own paratext. Such a text is a pure statement, the content of which is constituted by its context, presentation, and authorship (or performance), as well as the form of the ‘zero text’ itself. The political potential of the ‘zero text’ under an authoritarian regime becomes apparent, for instance, in the famous joke about Rabinovich handing out blank pamphlets in Red Square, but it can also be seen in the literalization of folkloric motifs in a number of protest demonstrations in post-Soviet Russia. The origin of these demonstrations can be traced to ‘zero texts’ used in the poetic avant-garde (“Poem of the End” by Vasilisk Gnedov, for example) and in neo- or post-avant-garde practices from the second half of the 20th century – in particular, those associated with names like Alexander Kondratov and Dmitriy A. Prigov, whose work actualized the political semantics of the ‘missing text.’
Racing to better bone health! A 6-month calcium and vitamin D randomised controlled trial in young male jockeys

description: The aim of this study was to establish whether calcium and vitamin D supplementation would improve bone properties of young male jockeys, who have been found to have compromised bone health. This is the first randomised controlled trial to examine the efficacy of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in improving bone properties in a highly vulnerable, young athletic, weight-restricted population. Results indicate the beneficial effects of supplementation on bone properties in as little as six months. Whilst the study size is small, this intervention appears promising as a strategy for improving bone health in young athletes in weight-restricted sports.

description: Prediction problems from spectra are largely encountered in chemometry. In addition to accurate predictions, it is often needed to extract information about which wavelengths in the spectra contribute in an effective way to the quality of the prediction. This implies to select wavelengths (or wavelength intervals), a problem associated to variable selection. In this paper, it is shown how this problem may be tackled in the specific case of smooth (for example infrared) spectra. The functional character of the spectra (their smoothness) is taken into account through a functional variable projection procedure. Contrarily to standard approaches, the projection is performed on a basis that is driven by the spectra themselves, in order to best fit their characteristics. The methodology is illustrated by two examples of functional projection, using Independent Component Analysis and functional variable clustering, respectively. The performances on two standard infrared spectra benchmarks are illustrated.

description: Nelle riflessioni di questo testo vengono illustrati alcuni nodi teorici che hanno un ruolo centrale nel dibattito filosofico e teologico sul pluralismo religioso. Si tratta, sostanzialmente, di dare ragione della diversità religiosa, ma ciò non dovrebbe equivalere ad «averne ragione», ma a riconoscere la condizione di un'alterità irriducibile. Il requisito, allora, del dialogo interreligioso non starebbe nel recupero di un elemento comune, una sorta di «genere» sotteso a ciascuna religione, ma nella messa in gioco e nella custodia di una distanza che chiede di non essere valicata.

description: Increasing observational evidence gathered especially in X-rays and gamma-rays during the course of the last few years support the notion that Supernova remnants (SNRs) are Galactic particle accelerators up to energies close to the ``knee'' in the energy spectrum of Cosmic rays. This review summarises the current status of VHE gamma-ray observations of SNRs. Shell-type as well as plerionic type SNRs are addressed and prospect for observations of these two source classes with the upcoming GLAST satellite in the energy regime above 100 MeV are given.

Desiderio desideravi di papa Francesco

description: L'articolo offre una presentazione breve e non esaustiva della lettera apostolica di papa Francesco, Desiderio desideravi, sulla formazione liturgica del popolo di Dio. Una premessa colloca il lettore nel solco del cammino ecclesiale cogliendo come chiesa e sinodo hanno nella liturgia la loro forma, il principio della missione, la fonte della comunione e il sostegno per il cammino. Nella fedeltà al concilio e nella comunione della chiesa, l'autore esorta a verificare se la nostra ritualità sia rispettosa dei criteri che hanno ispirato la sua riforma e se non scoraggi la partecipazione di molti battezzati. La lettera di Francesco non si occupa del carattere giuridico della celebrazione, né l'affronta principalmente con questa preoccupazione. Il ripristino dell'unica espressione della lex orandi del Rito Romano è la sola norma ribadita in tutta la sua forza ecclesiologica. L'invito è ad assumere l'atteggiamento contemplativo che meglio si addice alla natura della liturgia. Il fine è riscoprire il dono straordinario della Pasqua. La liturgia ci fa accedere a tale dono con stupore, senza cedere all'abitudine. Si scorre il testo della lettera apostolica, evidenziando come la bellezza del mistero pasquale domandi una seria formazione che aiuti tutti a recuperare l'eloquenza di simboli e di azioni rituali, che non necessitino tanto di spiegazioni quanto di autenticità. Per garantire la formazione alla liturgia e ancor più la formazione dalla liturgia, l'autore afferma con decisione — come già il papa nella lettera e prima di lui R. Guardini, tra i più grandi formatori — la necessità di riscattarsi, a tutti i livelli, da quell'analfabetismo dell'uomo moderno che non sa più leggere i simboli, quasi non ne sospetta nemmeno l'esistenza.

description: Possible existence of topologically protected surface in samarium hexaboride has created a strong need for investigations allowing to distinguish between properties coming from the surface states and those originating in the (remaining) bulk. Studies of SmB6 thin films represent a favorable approach allowing well defined variations of the bulk volume that is not affected by surface states. Moreover, thin films are highly desirable for potential technology applications. However, the growth of SmB6 thin films is accompanied by technology problems, which are typically associated with maintaining the correct stoichiometry of samarium and boron. Here we present feasibility study of SmB6 thin film synthesis by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) from a single stoichiometric SmB6 target. As proved by Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS), we succeeded to obtain the same ratio of samarium and boron in the films as that in the target. Thin films revealing characteristic electrical properties of (crystalline) SmB6 were successfully deposited on MgO, sapphire, and glass-ceramics substrates, when the substrates were kept at temperature of 600$^\circ$ C during the deposition. Performed electrical resistance studies have revealed that bulk properties of the films are only slightly affected by the substrate. Our results indicate that PLD is a suitable method for complex and intensive research of SmB6 and similar systems.

description: Concurrent model synchronization is the task of restoring consistency between two correlated models after they have been changed concurrently and independently. To determine whether such concurrent model changes conflict with each other and to resolve these conflicts taking domain- or user-specific preferences into account is highly challenging. In this paper, we present a framework for concurrent model synchronization algorithms based on Triple Graph Grammars (TGGs). TGGs specify the consistency of correlated models using grammar rules; these rules can be used to derive different consistency restoration operations. Using TGGs, we infer a causal dependency relation for model elements that enables us to detect conflicts non-invasively. Different kinds of conflicts are detected first and resolved by the subsequent conflict resolution process. Users configure the overall synchronization process by orchestrating the application of consistency restoration fragments according to several conflict resolution strategies to achieve individual synchronization goals. As proof of concept, we have implemented this framework in the model transformation tool eMoflon. Our initial evaluation shows that the runtime of our presented approach scales with the size of model changes and conflicts, rather than model size.

description: A lateral array of ferromagnetic tunnel junctions is used to inject and detect non-equilibrium quasi-particle spin distribution in a superconducting strip made of Al. The strip width and thickness is kept below the quasi particle spin diffusion length in Al. Non-local measurements in multiple parallel and antiparallel magnetic states of the detectors are used to in-situ determine the quasi-particle spin diffusion length. A very large increase in the spin accumulation in the superconducting state compared to that in the normal state is observed and is attributed to a diminishing of the quasi-particle population by opening of the gap below the transition temperature.

description: We present a study of the effects of clumping on the emergent spectral energy distribution (SED) from dusty supernova (SN) shells illuminated by a diffuse radiation source distributed throughout the medium. (...) The fully 3D radiation transport problem is solved using a Monte Carlo code, MOCASSIN, and we present a set of models aimed at investigating the sensitivity of the SEDs to various clumping parameters. We find that, contrary to the predictions of analytical prescriptions, the combination of an optical and IR observational data set is sufficient to constrain dust masses even in the case where optically thick clumps are present. Using both smoothly varying and clumped grain density distributions, we obtain new estimates for the mass of dust condensed by the Type II SN 1987A by fitting the optical and infrared spectrophotometric data of Wooden et al. (1993) at two epochs (day 615 and day 775). (...) From our numerical models we derive dust masses for SN 1987A that are comparable to previous analytic clumped graphite grain mass estimates, and at least two orders of magnitude below the 0.1-0.3 Msol that have been predicted to condense as dust grains in primordial core collapse supernova ejecta. This low condensation efficiency for SN 1987A is in contrast to the case of SN 2003gd, for which a dust condensation efficiency as large as 0.12 has recently been estimated. (Abridged)

description: A subset $A$ of a semigroup $S$ is called a $chain$ ($antichain$) if $xy\in\{x,y\}$ ($xy\notin\{x,y\}$) for any (distinct) elements $x,y\in S$. A semigroup $S$ is called ($anti$)$chain$-$finite$ if $S$ contains no infinite (anti)chains. We prove that each antichain-finite semigroup $S$ is periodic and for every idempotent $e$ of $S$ the set $\sqrt[\infty]{e}=\{x\in S:\exists n\in\mathbb N\;\;(x^n=e)\}$ is finite. This property of antichain-finite semigroups is used to prove that a semigroup is finite if and only if it is chain-finite and antichain-finite. Also we present an example of an antichain-finite semilattice that is not a union of finitely many chains.

description: The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship of perceived autonomy support by the exercise instructor with changes in exercise identity over time based on self-determination theory. Participants were 202 physically active men and women (14 to 63 years) who participated in group-based exercise classes. The participants completed the Exercise Identity Scale in two different time points two months apart, a perceived autonomy support by the exercise instructor scale, the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale and the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2. Linear regression analysis revealed a positive relationship between changes in exercise identity and identified regulation (beta = 0.23, p < .001). That is, greater levels of identified regulation positively predicted exercise identity change. The findings supported Ryan and Deci’s (2003) contention regarding the role of self-determined behavioral regulations in the process of identity assimilation to the self

The facial expression of pain in infants: developmental changes and individual differences
Creators: name: Lilley, Christine Megan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of the study was to examine the role of the negative emotionality dimension of temperament as a factor underlying individual differences in the facial expression of pain in infants. It was also of interest to identify developmental changes in the facial expression of pain during the first two years of life, both in the overall degree of pain expressed and individual facial actions. Subjects were infants undergoing routine immunization injections, which are administered at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 18 months of age. Consequently, the five age groups were compared. Temperament was assessed via a parent report questionnaire. A hand-held video camera was used to record the reactions of infants undergoing inoculation. The infants’ facial reactions, as captured on videotape, were scored by trained coders using two systems: (1) the Neonatal Facial Coding System (NFCS), a brief measure limited to actions relation to pain, and (2) Baby FACS, a comprehensive system with categories for all possible facial actions. The coders scored three 10-second segments for each infant in order t o capture a baseline, the infant’s immediate reaction, and a recovery period. The results of the study did not confirm a relationship between temperament and a pain summary score derived by principal components analysis. This finding was unexpected. The need for further investigation of the stability of individual differences in the pain response and the impact of situational factors was discussed. The investigation of developmental changes revealed some differences in the degree of pain expressed by infants in different age groups. During the baseline and immediate reaction to injection, 2-month old infants displayed more distress than 4- month old infants and 6-month old infants, but not more than 12- or 18-month old infants. During the recovery period, 6-month old infants and 18-month old infants displayed more distress than 4- month old infants. No other differences were significant. While these results require replication, they are suggestive of a drop in the degree of pain expressed around the age of 4 months. Possible reasons for such a pattern were discussed, with attention paid to the development of inhibitory mechanisms and the impact of other negative emotions such as anger and anxiety. Age-related changes in the occurrence of individual actions were also identified. The results of the present study suggest that clinicians assessing pain in infants be aware of developmental changes such that they compare their charges to infants of the same age.

description: We apply direct frequency-comb spectroscopy, in combination with precision cw spectroscopy, to measure the ${\rm 4s4p} ^3P_1 \to {\rm 4s5s} ^3S_1$ transition frequency in cold calcium atoms. A 657 nm ultrastable cw laser was used to excite atoms on the narrow ($γ\sim 400$ Hz) ${\rm 4s^2} ^1S_0 \to {\rm 4s4p} ^3P_1$ clock transition, and the direct output of the frequency comb was used to excite those atoms from the ${\rm 4s4p} ^3P_1$ state to the ${\rm 4s5s} ^3S_1$ state. The resonance of this second stage was detected by observing a decrease in population of the ground state as a result of atoms being optically pumped to the metastable ${\rm 4s4p} ^3P_{0,2}$ states. The ${\rm 4s4p} ^3P_1 \to {\rm 4s5s} ^3S_1$ transition frequency is measured to be $ν= 489 544 285 713(56)$ kHz; which is an improvement by almost four orders of magnitude over the previously measured value. In addition, we demonstrate spectroscopy on magnetically trapped atoms in the ${\rm 4s4p} ^3P_2$ state.

description: We present a new, ambitious survey performed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the 9.3 deg$^2$ Boötes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. The wide field probes a statistically representative volume of the Universe at high redshift. The Chandra Deep Wide-Field Survey exploits the excellent sensitivity and angular resolution of Chandra over a wide area, combining 281 observations spanning 15 years, for a total exposure time of 3.4 Ms, and detects 6891 X-ray point sources down to limiting fluxes of $4.7\times10^{-16}$, $1.5\times10^{-16}$, and $9\times10^{-16}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, in the $0.5-7$ keV, $0.5-2$ keV, and $2-7$ keV bands, respectively. The robustness and reliability of the detection strategy is validated through extensive, state-of-the-art simulations of the whole field. Accurate number counts, in good agreement with previous X-ray surveys, are derived thanks to the uniquely large number of point sources detected, which resolve $65.0 \pm 12.8\%$ of the cosmic X-ray background between $0.5-2$ keV and $81.0 \pm 11.5\%$ between $2-7$ keV. Exploiting the wealth of multi-wavelength data available on the field, we assign redshifts to $\sim 94\%$ of the X-ray sources, estimate their obscuration and derive absorption-corrected luminosities. We provide an electronic catalog containing all the relevant quantities needed for future investigations.

Risedronate in the treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Retrospective review of practice and outcomes in a large paediatric metabolic bone unit
Creators: name: Lawrence, Neil
name: Arundel, Paul
name: Bishop, Nick
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description:
We retrospectively reviewed records of current patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) to identify those on risedronate, doses used and effects of treatment. BMD changes over time were calculated as difference between measurement before risedronate and at one year (including measurements -3-0m and 10-14m after starting risedronate, respectively).

Risedronate use has increased in our unit, principally as a substitute for pamidronate in later childhood. Weight-adjusted dose correlated with age, probably due to the preparation available. Doses used and L2-4 BMD increases are consistent with published studies. We believe there is a place for risedronate in the management of children with OI.

description: Belief propagation (BP) is well-known as a low complexity decoding algorithm with a strong performance for important classes of quantum error correcting codes, e.g. notably for the quantum low-density parity check (LDPC) code class of random expander codes. However, it is also well-known that the performance of BP breaks down when facing topological codes such as the surface code, where naive BP fails entirely to reach a below-threshold regime, i.e. the regime where error correction becomes useful. Previous works have shown, that this can be remedied by resorting to post-processing decoders outside the frame- work of BP. In this work, we present a generalized belief propagation method with an outer re-initialization loop that successfully decodes surface codes, i.e. opposed to naive BP it re- covers the sub-threshold regime known from decoders tailored to the surface code and from statistical-mechanical mappings. We report a threshold of 17% under independent bit-and phase-flip data noise (to be compared to the ideal threshold of 20.6%) and a threshold value of 14% under depolarizing data noise (compared to the ideal threshold of 18.9%), which are on par with thresholds achieved by non- BP post-processing methods.

description: We demonstrate two key components for optical quantum information processing: a bright source of heralded single photons; and a bright source of entangled photon pairs. A pair of pump photons produces a correlated pair of photons at widely spaced wavelengths (583 nm and 900 nm), via a $χ^{(3)}$ four-wave mixing process. We demonstrate a non-classical interference between heralded photons from independent sources with a visibility of 95%, and an entangled photon pair source, with a fidelity of 89% with a Bell state.

description: Backgrouond: Looking for, processing and acting on protocol deviations are an important part of ensuring good trial conduct.There are definitions of protocol deviations in the ICH Good Clinical Practice series but there is little practical advice on the process for protocol deviations. 

Methods and Results: Using semi-structured discussions between 5 CTUs in the UK and a CRO in Kenya, we developed a protocol deviation framework 

Summary: We hope this framwork will improve protocol deviation process and efficiency. It will also serve as a launchpad for further research on the collection, processing and relevant action for protocol deviations.

description: In this paper, the dimension-free Harnack inequality is proved for the associated transition semigroups to a large class of stochastic evolution equations with monotone drifts. As applications, the ergodicity, hyper-(or ultra-)contractivity and compactness are established for the corresponding transition semigroups. Moreover, the exponential convergence of the transition semigroups to invariant measure and the existence of a spectral gap are also derived. The main results are applied to many concrete stochastic evolution equations such as stochastic reaction-diffusion equations, stochastic porous media equations and the stochastic p-Laplace equation in Hilbert space.

description: Let $X$ be a Banach holomorphic function space on the unit disk. A linear polynomial approximation scheme for $X$ is a sequence of bounded linear operators $T_n:X\to X$ with the property that, for each $f\in X$, the functions $T_n(f)$ are polynomials converging to $f$ in the norm of the space. We completely characterize those spaces $X$ that admit a linear polynomial approximation scheme. In particular, we show that it is NOT sufficient merely that polynomials be dense in $X$.
Dependence of the orbital modulation of X-rays from 4U 1820-303 on the accretion rate

description: We report the discovery, using RXTE data, of a dependence of the X-ray orbital modulation depth on the X-ray spectral state in the ultracompact atoll binary \source. This state (measured by us by the position on the X-ray colour-colour diagram) is tightly coupled to the accretion rate, which, in turn, is coupled to the phase of the 170-d superorbital cycle of this source. The modulation depth is much stronger in the high-luminosity, so-called banana, state than in the low-luminosity, island, state. We find the X-ray modulation is independent of energy, which rules out bound-free X-ray absorption in an optically thin medium as the cause of the modulation. We also find a significant dependence of the offset phase of the orbital modulation on the spectral state, which favours the model in which the modulation is caused by scattering in hot gas around a bulge at the disc edge, which both size and the position vary with the accretion rate. Estimates of the source inclination appear to rule out a model in which the bulge itself occults a part of an accretion disc corona. We calculate the average flux of this source over the course of its superorbital variability (which has the period of 170 d), and find it to be fully compatible with the model of accretion due to the angular momentum loss via emission of gravitational radiation. Also, we compare the dates of all X-ray bursts observed from this source by BeppoSAX and RXTE with the RXTE light curve, and find all of them to coincide with deep minima of the flux, confirming previous results based on smaller samples.

A perspective on urban waterfront redevelopment in the Pacific Rim
Creators: name: Hewson, Willian David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Once thriving Pacific Rim urban waterfronts are now abandoned, their functions left obsolete by technological changes and industrial shifts. Formerly the economic heartbeat of the city, these properties again have the potential to revitalize the economies of cities and to solve 20th century social problems. Urban waterfronts are being redeveloped to address not only local and regional problems but to serve national interests as well. The process of achieving an appropriate balance of land uses to attain these goals is costly, complex and controversial. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the process of waterfront development in the Pacific Rim. The objectives are: (1) to examine the economic, technological, social and political forces that shaped the Pacific Rim urban waterfront; (2) to evaluate the public policies, goals and objectives, and the effectiveness of the planning process, management structure, and development strategies used to achieve these objectives and goals; (3) to examine the effectiveness of involving the community in the planning process; and, (4) to evaluate the management structure and planning process. This study was conducted through an extensive literature review; site visits to Sydney, Brisbane, Newcastle, San Francisco and Vancouver; personal interviews; a comprehensive analysis of planning and development documentation, government publications, and articles in newspapers, professional magazines, journals and marketing brochures. The primary conclusions of this study are: (1) community involvement in the planning process at the earliest possible stages is vital; (2) the public planning and approval process is protracted, cumbersome, expensive, inflexible and inefficient; (3) the planning department must take control and assume the leadership role in the process; (4) there are four fundamental land use components to all urban waterfront development: commercial and retail, residential, parks and open space, cultural and community benefits; (5) the three most critical requirements of urban waterfront development are public access, open space and housing; (6) affordable and social housing is a key ingredient; (7) the trend for financing community amenities and public infrastructure is to have the developer pay; (8) the unique character and heritage of the waterfront needs to be examined before making decisions to remove waterfront structures; and (9) development goals and objectives must be established through a collaborative planning process to reflect the community needs. Otherwise the project will fail.
La riforma liturgica nella chiesa ortodossa
Creators: name: Keramidas, Dimitrios
Publisher: name: Apulia Theologica

description: La chiesa ortodossa è generalmente apprezzata per la sua ricchezza rituale e per la sua profonda considerazione della liturgia. Non a caso, si preferisce parlare di «teologia liturgica» bizantina più che di «teologia della liturgia». Per gli ortodossi, la liturgia non è solo una pratica rituale, ma lo stesso essere chiesa, la realizzazione della chiesa in quanto corpo di Cristo, icona della Trinità e anticipazione del regno di Dio. L'ortodossia contemporanea si è interessata al tema della riforma liturgica, argomento tanto attuale quanto ecumenico, considerando la presenza di simili movimenti in altri contesti cristiani. Questo articolo vuole proporre un breve excursus sullo sviluppo della liturgia bizantina, per evidenziare come essa sia sempre stata una reazione della chiesa a concrete circostanze intra-ecclesiali ed extra-ecclesiali. Come si vedrà, il tema del rinnovamento liturgico ha interessato gli ortodossi sia a livello di singoli approfondimenti che di «programmi» di riforma liturgica, riflessioni che possono oggi servire come una piattaforma di confronto ecumenico.

description: In this work we present the first beyond closure calculation for the neutrinoless double beta decay ($0νββ$) of $^{76}$Ge to the first $2^+$ states of $^{76}$Se. The isospin symmetry restored Quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) method with the CD-Bonn realistic force is adopted for the nuclear structure calculations. We analyze the structure of the two nucleon mechanism nuclear matrix elements, and estimate the uncertainties from the nuclear many-body calculations. We find $g_{pp}$ plays an important role for the calculations and if quenching is included, suppression for the transition matrix element $M_λ$ is found. Our results for the transition matrix elements are about one order of magnitude larger than previous projected Hatree-Fock-Boglyubov results with the closure approximation.

description: We analyze the problem of approximating a smooth quantum waveguide with a quantum graph. We consider a planar curve with compactly supported curvature and a strip of constant width around the curve. We rescale the curvature and the width in such a way that the strip can be approximated by a singular limit curve, consisting of one vertex and two infinite, straight edges, i.e. a broken line. We discuss the convergence of the Laplacian, with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the strip, in a suitable sense and we obtain two possible limits: the Laplacian on the line with Dirichlet boundary conditions in the origin and a non trivial family of point perturbations of the Laplacian on the line. The first case generically occurs and corresponds to the decoupling of the two components of the limit curve, while in the second case a coupling takes place. We present also two families of curves which give rise to coupling.
