description: En el ámbito de las Ciencias Forenses se encuentra la Balística Identificativa, rama fundamental para el esclarecimiento de los delitos en los que ha participado un arma de fuego. A través del estudio de las señales que el arma transfiere a los elementos balísticos, los especialistas, con experiencia y formación, establecen una relación de identidad que permite identificar el arma.
 En el presente Trabajo Fin de Máster se plantea determinar si es posible utilizar un proyectil disparado con media carga de pólvora, o incluso un proyectil sin carga, para identificar un arma cotejándolo con un proyectil disparado a carga completa, un tema que despierta gran interés en el ámbito de la Balística Identificativa. Para ello se han comparado diferentes grupos de proyectiles disparados a distintos niveles de carga de pólvora (carga completa, media carga y sin carga), analizando los efectos que la reducción de la carga puede producir en las señales individuales de las estrías. El arma utilizada es una pistola semiautomática marca ASTRA, modelo 1921/400, del calibre 9 mm Largo.
 Los resultados obtenidos son de gran utilidad, pudiendo destacar que en la zona objeto de estudio se ha apreciado una mayor profundidad en las señales individuales de los proyectiles de media carga, además de presentar imperfecciones no apreciables en los proyectiles de carga completa. El proyectil sin carga de pólvora queda deformado en dicha zona sin posibilidad de cotejo. Este estudio permite afirmar que es posible identificar este arma a través de proyectiles con la carga de pólvora reducida.

description: Here we carry out a first-principles time-dependent calculation to investigate how fast electrons actually move under laser excitation and how large the electron transport affects demagnetization on the shortest time scale. To take into account the transport effect, we implement the intraband transition in our theory. In the bulk fcc Ni, we find the effect of the spin transport on the demagnetization is extremely small, no more than 1\%. The collective electron velocity in Ni is 0.4 $\rm Å/fs$, much smaller than the Fermi velocity, and the collective displacement is no more than 0.1 $\rm Å$. But this does not mean that electrons do not travel fast; instead we find that electron velocities at two opposite crystal momenta cancel each other. We follow the $Γ$-X line and find a huge dispersion in the velocities in the crystal momentum space. In the Fe/W(110) thin film, the overall demagnetization is larger than Ni, and the Fermi velocity is higher than Ni. However, the effect of the spin transport is still small in the Fe/W(110) thin film. Based on our numerical results and existing experimental findings, we propose a different mechanism that can explain two latest experimental results. Our finding sheds new light on the effect of ballistic transport on demagnetization.

Subjects: subject: Social Sciences - Sociology (5.4)
subject: NETWORK FORMATION GAME
subject: EXPERIMENTAL SOCIOLOGY

description: The dataset 'Individual Choices in Dynamic Networks' contains the outcome of an experiment on network formation, studying how social preferences play a role in networking relations actors make.

In total we ran 16 experimental sessions, each of them having between 9 and 15 subjects. Subjects were contacted using the Online Recruitment System for Economic Experiments (Greiner B (2004) The online recruitment system ORSEE 2.0 - A guide for the organization of experiments in economics. University of Cologne, Working Paper Series in Economics 10.)
A total of 227 subjects subscribed for one of the 16 sessions, of which 205 subjects participated. We allowed at most 16 registrations for each session and every registered subject who showed up in time participated.
Most subjects were students at Utrecht University from a wide range of disciplines, although non-student subjects also participated.

Units of analysis are:
-	Groups of subjects
-	Subject Decisions

Subjects were between 17 and 60 (mean age being 21.6), 68.3% female, and 78.5% Dutch.

The experiment was programmed using z-Tree (Fischbacher 2007).

For detailed information on the set-up of the experiment, the analysis and discussion, see the article 'VanDolderBuskens2014.pdf' in de folder Publication.

The set contains:

1) Experimental instructions in the folder titled "Instructions"
	This folder contains the instructions in both Dutch and English and for the four
	orderings that we employed in the experiment, making (2x4=) 8 sets of instructions
	overall.

2) Ztree treatment files in the folder titled "Treatments"
	This folder contains the ZTree files needed to run the experiment. Note that here,
	as with the instructions, there are four orderings leading to four sets of treatment
	files. The program itself is bilingual, so there is no need to have separate files
	for the Dutch or English version.

3) Dataset.dta contains the data used in the paper.
	We did not include a codebook, but rather described each variable in the variable
	label in the Stata data file. The dataset contains many variables that are not
	directly necessary for the analyses, but might be useful for other aims.

4) Analyses.do is the Stata dofile to generate the results presented in the paper.
	We have added annotations to help the reader understand what happens at each step.

The set contains original raw quantitative data.
The experiment has been conducted with X subjects.

Partner-specific Behavior in Social Networks: Coordination among Actors with Heterogeneous Preferences

subject: coordination game
subject: partner-specific behavior
subject: heterogeneous preferences
subject: social networks
subject: repeated interactions
subject: experiment

description: These data were gathered to study coordination games in which individuals have conflicting preferences. We propose the actors’ ability to vary behavior when interacting with different partners (partner-specific behavior) as a mechanism facilitating coordination in situations where actors have different preferences. We assume that actors are connected through a network and play coordination games with their neighbors in the network. Actors may or may not behave partner-specifically and actors’ preferences for outcomes in the game may differ. Both actors prefer coordination over miscoordination.
Actors are arranged on a network. If actors i and j are connected in the network, they play the coordination game. This network remains unchanged over the repeated game. Symmetric networks are used: all actors within one network have the same number of neighbors. The actors have global information regarding their own and the preferences of all other actors in the network and regarding the ability of actors to behave partner-specifically or not. Actors receive also information about the behavior of all actors in the network.
Subjects in our experiment played repeated coordination games for 20 periods among a group of four actors. They received points dependent on the decisions they made. At the end of the experiment, points were exchanged for monetary earnings. We distinguish three versions of the game. (1) Actors cannot behave partner-specifically, i.e. each actor has to choose the same behavior with all neighbors. (2) Actors can behave partner-specifically, i.e. each actor can differentiate behavior in interactions with different neighbors. (3) Actors can buy the ability to behave partner-specifically. We used different networks to create variance with respect to the heterogeneity in preferences within networks as well as the number of heterogeneous dyads in networks, while keeping the structural positions within networks constant.
The experiment was programmed and conducted with z-Tree software. Subjects were recruited amongst students
at Utrecht University. The total number of subjects is 144. There were 68 (47.2%) male subjects. The age of the subjects ranged from 18 to 56 with an average age of 24.
Results show that whether partner-specific behavior is disadvantageous or advantageous for coordination depends on the distribution of preferences in the network. Moreover, subjects seem unable to foresee when partner-specific behavior is disadvantageous, since they invest in partner-specific behavior also when this does not pay off.

description: Thermodynamics in the vicinity of a critical endpoint with nonclassical exponents $α$, $β$, $γ$, $δ$, $...$ is analyzed in terms of density variables (mole fractions, magnetizations, etc.). The shapes of the isothermal binodals or two-phase coexistence curves are found at andnear the endpoint for symmetric and nonsymmetric situations. The spectator- (or noncritical)-phase binodal at $T=T_{e}$ is characterized by an exponent $(δ+1)/δ$ $(\simeq 1.21)$ with leading corrections of relative order $1/δ$ $(\simeq 0.21)$, $θ_{4}/βδ$ $(\simeq 0.34)$ and $1 -(βδ)^{-1}$$(\simeq 0.36)$; in contrast to classical (van der Waals, mean field, $...$) theory, the critical endpoint binodal is singular with leading exponent $(1-α)/β$ $(\simeq 2.73)$ and corrections which are elucidated; the remaining, $λ$-line binodals also display the `renormalized exponent,' $(1-α)/β$ butwith more singular corrections. (The numerical values quoted here pertain to $(d=3)$-dimensional-fluid or Ising-type systems.)

Unimodular gravity theory with external sources in a Lorentz-symmetry breaking scenario

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: This paper is dedicated to the study of interactions between stationary field sources for the linearized unimodular gravity or WTDIFF theory in a model which exhibits Lorentz symmetry breaking due to the presence of the linearized topological Chern-Simons term in $3 + 1$ dimensions, where the Lorentz symmetry breaking is caused by a single background vector $v^μ$. Since the background vector is very tiny, we treat it perturbatively up to second order and we focus on physical phenomena which have no counterpart in standard WTDIFF theory. We consider effects related to field sources describing point-like particles and cosmic strings. We show that in a Lorentz violating scenario the interaction between external sources lead to numerically different results for linerarized Eintein-Hilbert (LEH) and WTDIFF theories, however both results are qualitatively similar and can be equalized after a rescaling of the Lorentz breaking source term which makes an experimental distinction impossible at leading order in pertubation theory as far as point particles and cosmic strings are concerned.

Testosterone Administration and Strategic Gambling in Poker Play

description: Testosterone has been associated with economically egoistic and materialistic behaviors, but -defensibly driven by reputable status seeking- also with economically fair, generous and cooperative behaviors. Problematically, social status and economic resources are inextricably intertwined in humans, thus testosterone’s primal motives are concealed. We critically addressed this issue by performing a placebo-controlled single-dose testosterone administration in young women, who played a game of bluff poker wherein concerns for status and resources collide.

We created a computerized version of a zero-sum (i.e. one player’s loss is the other player’s gain) two-person poker game based on the seminal work of Von Neumann and Morgenstern. The profit-maximizing strategy in this game is to mislead the other players by bluffing randomly (independent of strength of the hand), thus also when holding very poor cards (cold bluffing). The profit-maximizing strategy also dictates the players in this poker game to never call the other players’ bluffs. For reputable-status seeking these materialistic strategies are disadvantageous.

Twenty female volunteers (age range, 18-30) participated in this double-blind, crossover and within-subject study. Participants received a single dose of 0.5 mg sublingual testosterone in one session and placebo in the other session, with a 7-day latency between sessions. They received payment consisting of €10 as a fixed fee plus earnings depending on their performance in the poker game. We controlled for influences of hormonal change related to menstrual cycle by including only women who used single-phase contraceptives (with 0.15 mg levonorgestrel and 0.03 mg ethinylestradiol), and tested them during the 3-week period they were using these contraceptives, but not during menstruation. We exclusively recruited women because the parameters (quantity and time course) for inducing neurophysiological effects after a single sublingual administration of 0.5mg of testosterone are known in women but not in men.

description: In 1996 Lee, Osheroff and Richardson received the Nobel Prize for their 1971 discovery of superfluid helium 3 -- a discovery which opened the door to the most fascinating system known in condensed matter physics. The superfluid phases of helium 3, originating from pair condensation of helium 3 atoms, turned out to be the ideal test-system for many fundamental concepts of modern physics, such as macroscopic quantum phenomena, (gauge-)symmetries and their spontaneous breakdown, topological defects, etc. Thereby they enriched condensed matter physics enormously and contributed significantly to our understanding of various other physical systems, from heavy fermion and high-T_c superconductors all the way to neutron stars and the early universe. A pedagogical introduction is presented.

Multimedia artefacts and teaching-learning experiences relating to Summative Assessment Feedback (SAF) and student overall satisfaction
Creators: name: Luders, Errol
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2019

description: This exploratory intervention study presents a broad mapping of nursing students’ and lecturers’ opinions of different mediating multimedia artefacts (MMAs: online-written, audio and video), before and after the new artefacts introduction (intervention), about their teaching-learning experiences through Summative Assessment Feedback (SAF) effectiveness, efficiency, and transformation motives for their satisfaction. The study applied a mixed method of quasi-experimental design with an intervention, evaluated via an institution-wide student survey, followed by interviews with students and lecturers. Before the interventions, students’ unfamiliarity with audio and video artefacts in SAF leads them to prefer online-written artefact in the School. Statistical analysis of goals (variables) show that while easy access, usefulness, professionalism, mobile learning, clarity, and personalisation were the most popular for the use of online-written artefact in SAF respectively; the goals of “faster to learn, easier to remember, paying more attention and providing more information” were more popular for the video artefact. The audio artefact consistently ranked the lowest choice amongst students. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences for video artefact potential to improve student satisfaction in SAF amongst all goals. Following the MMAs’ actual use in summative OSCE assessment feedback, the students express their preference for the video artefact over online-written and audio. Lecturers suggest “seeing is believing” in OSCE assessment feedback. Therefore, visually salient online-written and video artefacts are perceived as more beneficial than audio for their students. Yet, as they propose SAF in essay types require “seeing in detail is believing”, they argue for contextualisation of different assessment types. Furthermore, video artefact in OSCE feedback provides better guidance, motivation, and important points with wider summaries, whereas online-written artefact facilitates detailed error corrections, standardisation, and justifying grades through linking rubrics. Nonetheless, these choices are affected by assessment rules, division of labour and software design elements, according to the CHAT-informed interviews with lecturers.

description: State of the art radial-velocity (RV) exoplanet searches are currently limited by RV signals arising from stellar magnetic activity. We analyze solar observations acquired over a 3-year period during the decline of Carrington Cycle 24 to test models of RV variation of Sun-like stars. A purpose-built solar telescope at the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher for the Northern hemisphere (HARPS-N) provides disk-integrated solar spectra, from which we extract RVs and $\log{R'_{\rm HK}}$. The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) provides disk-resolved images of magnetic activity. The Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) provides near-continuous solar photometry, analogous to a Kepler light curve. We verify that the SORCE photometry and HARPS-N $\log{R'_{\rm HK}}$ correlate strongly with the SDO-derived magnetic filling factor, while the HARPS-N RV variations do not. To explain this discrepancy, we test existing models of RV variations. We estimate the contributions of the suppression of convective blueshift and the rotational imbalance due to brightness inhomogeneities to the observed HARPS-N RVs. We investigate the time variation of these contributions over several rotation periods, and how these contributions depend on the area of active regions. We find that magnetic active regions smaller than $60 \ \rm Mm^2$ do not significantly suppress convective blueshift. Our area-dependent model reduces the amplitude of activity-induced RV variations by a factor of two. The present study highlights the need to identify a proxy that correlates specifically with large, bright magnetic regions on the surfaces of exoplanet-hosting stars.

description: Electrolyte gating is a powerful means for tuning the carrier density and exploring the resultant modulation of novel properties on solid surfaces. However, the mechanism, especially its effect on the oxygen migration and electrostatic charging at the oxide heterostructures, is still unclear. Here we explore the electrolyte gating on oxygen-deficient interfaces between SrTiO3 (STO) crystals and LaAlO3 (LAO) overlayer through the measurements of electrical transport, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. We found that oxygen vacancies (Ovac) were filled selectively and irreversibly after gating due to oxygen electromigration at the amorphous LAO/STO interface, resulting in a reconstruction of its interfacial band structure. Because of the filling of Ovac, the amorphous interface also showed an enhanced electron mobility and quantum oscillation of the conductance. Further, the filling effect could be controlled by the degree of the crystallinity of the LAO overlayer by varying the growth temperatures. Our results reveal the different effects induced by electrolyte gating, providing further clues to understand the mechanism of electrolyte gating on buried interfaces and also opening a new avenue for constructing high-mobility oxide interfaces.

description: We discuss a Lorentz covariant space-time uncertainty relation, which agrees with that of Karolyhazy-Ng-van Dam when an observational time period delta t is larger than the Planck time lp. At delta t < lp, this uncertainty relation takes roughly the form delta t delta x > lp^2, which can be derived from the condition prohibiting the multi-production of probes to a geometry. We show that there exists a minimal area rather than a minimal length in the four-dimensional case. We study also a three-dimensional free field theory on a non-commutative space-time realizing the uncertainty relation. We derive the algebra among the coordinate and momentum operators and define a positive-definite norm of the representation space. In four-dimensional space-time, the Jacobi identity should be violated in the algebraic representation of the uncertainty relation.

description: We study the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Kitaev-Heisenberg (KJ) model in a two-leg ladder. Without a Heisenberg interaction, the Kitaev phase in the ladder model has Majorana fermions with local Z$_2$ gauge fields, and is usually described as a disordered phase without any order parameter. Here we prove the existence of a non-local string order parameter (SOP) in the Kitaev phase which survives with a finite Heisenberg interaction. The SOP is obtained by relating the Kitaev ladder, through a non-local unitary transformation, to a one-dimensional $XY$ chain with an Ising coupling to a dangling spin at every site. This differentiates the Kitaev phases from other nearby phases including a rung singlet. Two phases with non-zero SOP corresponding to ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic Kitaev interactions are identified. The full phase diagram of the KJ ladder is determined using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group methods, which shows a striking similarity to the KJ model on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice.

description: We present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the extended simple point charge (SPC/E) model of water to investigate thethermodynamic and dynamic properties of stretched and supercooled water. We locate the liquid-gas spinodal, and confirm that the spinodal pressure increases monotonically with $T$, supporting thermodynamic scenarios for the phase behavior of supercooled water involving a ``non-reentrant'' spinodal. The dynamics at negative pressure show a minimum in the diffusion constant $D$ when the density is decreased at constant temperature, complementary to the known maximum of $D$ at higher pressures. We locate the loci of minima of $D$ relative to the spinodal, showing that the locus is inside the thermodynamicaly metastable regions of the phase-diagram. These dynamical results reflect the initial enhancement and subsequent breakdown of the tetrahedral structure and of the hydrogen bond network as the density decreases.

description: We study a homopolymer model of a protein chain, where each monomer carries a dipole moment. To mimic the geometry of the peptidic bond, these dipoles are constrained to be locally perpendicular to the chain. The tensorial character of the dipolar interaction leads naturally to a (tensorial) liquid crystal-like order parameter. For non chiral chains, a mean field study of this model shows that a classical $θ$ collapse transition occurs first; at lower temperature, nematic order sets in. For chiral chains, an anisotropic (tensorial) collapse transition may occur before the $θ$ temperature is reached: the ordered phase can be described as a ``compact phase of secondary structures'', and possesses great similarities with the liquid crystal blue phases.

Juicio de Scope

description: EXTRACTO DE LA INVESTIGACIÓN DE "LA ANTOLOGÍA DE LA EUGENESIA": El Juicio de Scope o “Monkey Trials” no fue más que un truco publicitario. El movimiento eugenésico internacional fue beneficiario de esta maniobra. Algunas de las figuras influyentes detrás del impulso continúan siendo ampliamente conocidas. Sin embargo, sus vínculos con el lobby eugenésico y, por extensión, las opiniones explícitamente promotoras de la supremacía blanca presentes en los pasajes del libro que constituyen el centro de la controversia, no son de dominio público. Resulta increíble que no se haya indagado debidamente en este aspecto de este famoso juicio. Considere las implicaciones: varias generaciones de jóvenes estadounidenses se les inculcaron los conceptos impartidos a las Juventudes Hitlerianas de la Alemania nazi.

description: These data were gathered to study six-person Prisoner’s Dilemmas (PDs) in which subjects endogenously decide whether to implement a peer punishment institution in their group and whether the punishment institution, if implemented, implies more or less severe punishments. We consider PDs with perfect information on other subjects’ previous behavior, and PDs in which subjects observe each other’s behavior with noise.
In the experiment, subjects participated in series of six-person PD games with endogenous punishment institutions. In half of the sessions, the PD with noise was employed, while in the other half, subjects participated in the PD without noise. Subjects were informed on whether and how noise was implemented. Payoffs were presented as points that were translated into monetary earnings at the end of a session. Throughout each session, subjects were randomly re-matched in different groups of six after every interaction. Subjects interacted for 40 periods in the PD.
The experiment was programmed using z-Tree (Fischbacher 2007) and conducted at the ELSE laboratory at Utrecht University. Subjects were recruited using the online recruiting system ORSEE (Greiner 2004). 156 subjects participated in total: 78 in the noise condition and 78 in the condition without noise (41% male, 85% students, 30% economics students). Subjects earned €12.50 on average (minimum of €7.50, maximum of €15.50).
The data show that without noise, the majority of groups choose a punishment institution with severe punishments, while with noise most groups do not implement a punishment institution. Both with and without noise, cooperation and earnings increase when a punishment institution is implemented, especially with opportunities for severe punishments. However, subjects in the noise condition perceive lower earnings under severe punishments than under the other options. Also, with noise, observing that cooperators are punished, discourages subjects from implementing a punishment institution in subsequent interactions.

description: This data set contains the results of a laboratory experiment within the framework of Public Good Games. Subjects played Public Goods Games with opportunities for punishment or reward that was implemented either by an individual, a majority, or unanimously.
A total number of 184 student subjects participated in the experiment (32% male; 34% economics major). Both the majority and unanimity sessions comprised 64 subjects in total, while 56 subjects were in a session which was held in the individual condition. The experiment comprised three parts, each with different settings and rules, thus varying conditions of group composition, ways of rewarding and punishments.  The experiment was programmed using z-Tree (Fischbacher 2007) and conducted at the ELSE laboratory of Utrecht University. Subjects were recruited using the online recruiting system ORSEE (Greiner 2004). Twelve sessions were held, four in each experimental condition of which two with reward first and two with punishment first.  Units of analysis are:  1) Groups of subjects 2) Subject Decisions.
The data show that for both punishment and reward, contribution levels are higher in the individual than the majority condition, and higher under majority than unanimity. Moreover, often majority agreement or unanimity was not reached on punishments or rewards.

Quaternionic metrics from harmonic superspace : lagrangian approach and quotient construction

description: Starting from the most general harmonic superspace action of self-interacting Q^+ hypermultiplets in the background of N=2 conformal supergravity, we derive the general action for the bosonic sigma model with a generic 4n dimensional quaternionic-Kahler (QK) manifold as the target space. The action is determined by the analytic harmonic QK potential. We find out this action to have two flat limits. One gives the hyper-Kahler sigma model with a 4n dimensional target manifold, while another yields a conformally invariant sigma model with 4(n+1) dimensional hyper-Kahler target. We work out the harmonic superspace version of the QK quotient construction and use it to give a new derivation of QK extensions of Taub-NUT and Eguchi-Hanson metrics. We analyze in detail the geometrical and symmetry structure of the second metric. The QK sigma model approach allows us to reveal the enhancement of its isometry group to SU(3) or SU(2,1) at the special relations between its parameters : the Einstein constant and the "mass".

description: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) make an ideal one-dimensional (1D) material platform for the exploration of exotic physical phenomena under extremely strong quantum confinement. The 1D character of electrons, phonons and excitons in individual CNTs features extraordinary electronic, thermal and optical properties. Since the first discovery, they have been continuing to attract interest in various disciplines, including chemistry, materials science, physics, and engineering. However, the macroscopic manifestation of such properties is still limited, despite significant efforts for decades. Recently, a controlled vacuum filtration method has been developed for the preparation of wafer-scale films of crystalline chirality-enriched CNTs, and such films immediately enable exciting new fundamental studies and applications. In this review, we will first discuss the controlled vacuum filtration technique, and then summarize recent discoveries in optical spectroscopy studies and optoelectronic device applications using films prepared by this technique.

description: Network motif analysis is a useful tool for the investigation of complex networks. We study the profiles of tetradic motifs in horizontal visibility graphs (HVGs) converted from multifractal binomial measures, fractional Gaussian noises, and heartbeat rates. The profiles of tetradic motifs contains the spatial information (visibility) and temporal information (relative magnitude) among the data points in the corresponding time series. For multifractal binomial measures, the occurrence frequencies of the tetradic motifs are determined, which converge to a constant vector $(2/3,0,8/99,8/33,1/99,0)$. For fractional Gaussian noises, the motif occurrence frequencies are found to depend nonlinearly on the Hurst exponent and the length of time series. These findings suggest the potential ability of tetradic motif profiles in distinguishing different types of time series. Finally, we apply the tetradic motif analysis to heartbeat rates of healthy subjects, congestive heart failure (CHF) subjects, and atrial fibrillation (AF) subjects. Different subjects can be distinguished from the occurrence frequencies of tetradic motifs.

description: We construct a model that predicts the statistical properties of spike trains generated by a sensory neuron. The model describes the combined effects of the neuron's intrinsic properties, the noise in the surrounding, and the external driving stimulus. We show that the spike trains exhibit universal statistical behavior over short times, modulated by a strongly stimulus-dependent behavior over long times. These predictions are confirmed in experiments on H1, a motion-sensitive neuron in the fly visual system.

description: In a recent letter (PRL 84, 3930 (2000)) Nakhmedov et al. claimed that the Van Hove singularity at $ε=0$ in the density of states (DoS) of the two-dimensional crystal with half-filled tight-binding band survives the addition of substitutional impurities. This derivation suffers from several inconsistencies. We resolve them and show that the DoS at the band center is finite, as one might naively expect.
