description: Biomechanics of the skin is an important subject in skin research. It has been studied for many decades involving various technologies and methods to characterize and quantify mechanical properties of the skin under different in vivo conditions. The present EEMCO paper reviews the current rel-evant information, providing practical orientation to researchers dedicated to in vivo assessment of biomechanics of skin and its annexes. We discuss the available non-invasive instruments, including their principles and variables. A correspondence between the descriptors nomenclature proposed by Agache and the designation for the suction-based standard instruments is proposed. The addressed properties include skin softness/stiffness, firmness, elasticity, elastic and viscoelastic properties, extensibility, resilience, anisotropy, acoustical shock wave hardness, friction (in relation to topographic properties), thickness, fiber/stress mechanics (bending, cyclic, tensile, fatigue, or torsion), and hardness. We provide the relation of these properties to biomechanical descriptors and in some cases to SI units. Practical guidance for the proper use of these instruments, limitations, and possible interpretations are provided, while discussing the meaning of descriptive or "phenomenological" variables. For studies intended to quantify the effect of an intervention with regard to mechanical properties, we recommend a minimum of 30-40 participants, based on normal distribution of the data sets. Some important limitations are recognized, including the lack of standardization of procedures and calibration of instruments, which compromises the relevance and real nature of the descriptors/parameters obtained with these devices. The present work highlights an approach to a better practice and a science-supported biomechanical assessment of human skin, hair, and nails.

description: The performance enhancements observed in various models of continuous quantum thermal machines have been linked to the buildup of coherences in a preferred basis. But, is this connection always an evidence of `quantum-thermodynamic supremacy'? By force of example, we show that this is not the case. In particular, we compare a power-driven three-level continuous quantum refrigerator with a four-level combined cycle, partly driven by power and partly by heat. We focus on the weak driving regime and find the four-level model to be superior since it can operate in parameter regimes in which the three-level model cannot, it may exhibit a larger cooling rate, and, simultaneously, a better coefficient of performance. Furthermore, we find that the improvement in the cooling rate matches the increase in the stationary quantum coherences exactly. Crucially, though, we also show that the thermodynamic variables for both models follow from a classical representation based on graph theory. This implies that we can build incoherent stochastic-thermodynamic models with the same steady-state operation or, equivalently, that both coherent refrigerators can be emulated classically. More generally, we prove this for any N-level weakly driven device with a `cyclic' pattern of transitions. Therefore, even if coherence is present in a specific quantum thermal machine, it is often not essential to replicate the underlying energy conversion process.

A Border-crossing Pedagogy to Disrupt LGBTIQ+ Bullying and Violence in Schools
Creators: name: Townsin, Louise
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2019
Subjects: Education

description: Many primary, secondary and tertiary educators need support to engage in inclusive pedagogical practices that challenge homophobia, transphobia and heteronormativity. We present a border-crossing pedagogy (BCP) designed to assist English language arts educators in translating knowledge into action to demolish deeply engrained anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and intersex (LGBTIQ+) bigotry, discrimination and violence. This model is timely given the rise in anti-LGBTIQ+ bigotry as governments pass LGBT-inclusive hate crime laws, executive orders prohibiting LGBT discrimination and marriage equality. We illustrate how the BCP can be used to explore affordances and barriers located in the English curriculum, and beyond, to teach about diverse genders and sexualities, positively recognising and affirming LGBTIQ+ identities.

description: Die Diagnose Glaukom führt zur Einleitung therapeutischer Schritte; im Regelfall Beginn einer antiglaukomatösen Tropfenapplikation oder einer chirurgischen Intervention. Die klinischen Leitlinien (European Glaucoma Society EGS Guidelines 4th Ed.) empfehlen aktuell Therapieansätze zur Augeninnendruckreduktion als wichtigstem Risikofaktor der Glaukom- Progression. Mit der Entwicklung minimal-invasiver Operationsverfahren kann eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit zur effektiven Drucksenkung mit Erhalt der Lebensqualität in milden bis moderaten primären und sekundären Offenwinkelglaukomen den Patienten angeboten werden. Sie können dem Patienten sowohl als nächster Schritt bei insuffizienter Tropfentherapie als auch bei aus persönlichen Gründen abgelehnter antiglaukomatöser Therapie offeriert werden, bevor bulbuseröffnende, filtriende Verfahren eingesetzt werden müssen. Zusätzlich rückt ein neuroprotektiver Therapieansatz immer stärker in den Vordergrund. In den letzten 25 Jahren wurde noch einmal systematisch aufgearbeitet, dass das Glaukom als eine neurodegenerative Erkrankung durch Apoptose der retinalen Ganglienzellen und deren Axone zu definieren ist. Es liegt sowohl eine neuronale Degeneration im visuellen Signalweg als auch eine zerebrale diffuse Diffusionsstörung vor. Eine rein drucksenkende Therapie ist daher nicht immer imstande, die Progression eines Sehnervschadens langfristig aufzuhalten. Neuroprotektive Wirkstoffe entstammen nicht einer biochemischen Familie, sondern sind Faktoren aus unterschiedlichen Signalkaskaden mit anti-oxidativen, anti-inflammatorischen und anti-Protein aggregierenden Eigenschaften. Vielversprechende Ergebnisse der in vivo Tiermodellstudien zeigen eine signifikante neuroprotektive Wirkung von Curcumin und Coq10 auf die retinale Ganglionzelle. Zusammenfassend steckt der Einsatz neuroprotektiver Wirkstoffe in den Kinderschuhen. Trotz vieler in vivo Tiermodell-Studien erleben wir erst den Beginn der Translation der Neuroprotektiva auf den Menschen.

description: Development of newer methods for the synthesis of Benzoxazoles has of greater interest due to their wide range of biological activities and pharmaceutical importance. We herein report a facile and general method for the synthesis of 2-substituted Benzoxazoles via copper catalyzed intramolecular C-O cross-coupling of 2-haloanilides. A combination of CuI (5 mol%), 2,2'-bipyridine (10 mol%), Cs2CO3 (2 equiv.) in DMF solvent with 4 Å molecular sieves at 140 °C, illustrated the scope for tuning the reactivity of 2-haloanilides toward the selective formation of a series of 2-alkyl benzoxazole derivatives in moderate to good yields. This is the first systematic study using CuI/2,2'-Bipyridine as the catalytic system for the synthesis of 2-substituted Benzoxazoles. The outcome of the reaction was found to be significantly influenced by the aromatic and amide substituents of 2-haloanilides.

description: The cross-section of (quasi-)elastic large-angle electron-positron scattering at high energies is calculated. Radiative corrections of the orders O(α^2 L^2) and O(α^2 L), besides pure two-loop box contributions, are explicitly calculated. In the second order we considered the following sources of corrections: 1) Virtual photonic corrections coming from squares of 1-loop level amplitudes and their relevant interferences (vertex-type and box-type Feynman diagrams). 2) Double soft photon emission and one-loop corrections to single soft photon emission. The results are presented in an analytical form.

description: To understand the impact of urbanization process on heavy metals (HMs) (distribution, sources and risks) in soil in different land-use types, we collected soil samples from 38 sites in Zhengzhou, China, and divided them into industrial, residential and agricultural areas. Various indices, including single factor pollution index (Pi), Nemerow pollution index (PN) and geo-accumulation index (Igeo) were used to analyze the pollution levels of HMs. The results showed that the average concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Cr and Mn were 30.26 mg/kg, 0.31 mg/kg, 18.26 mg/kg, 85.85 mg/kg, 76.76 mg/kg and 211.13 mg/kg, respectively. Additionally, Pb, Zn and Cr were the main pollutants and showed serious pollution levels in three land-use types. Remarkably the pollution level of Pb was particularly prominent in industrial areas due to individual sampling points. Then, the principal component analysis (PCA) showed that Pb and Mn came from traffic and natural sources (34.14%), Cd and Zn from metal smelting (28.11%), Cr and Cu from the use of pesticides and fertilizers (17.57%). Furthermore, geographic information system (GIS) and potential ecological risk index (Eri) were employed to analyze the risk of HMs. Among them, the Eri value of Cd in the industrial area was shown to be 55.5, which reached moderate pollution. Moreover, Cd has the highest contribution to risk index (RI) among all soil types. The order of RI was industrial area > residential area > agricultural area, which would contribute to the future regional planning of Zhengzhou.

description: We present the results of a study of the AGN density in a homogeneous and well-studied sample of 167 bona fide X-ray galaxy clusters ($0.110^{42}$ erg cm$^{-1}$) in bright cluster galaxies, up to $6r_{500}$ radius. To study the mass dependence and the evolution of the AGN population, we further divided the sample into low- and high-mass clusters and two redshift bins (0.1-0.28 and 0.28-0.5). We detect a significant excess of X-ray AGNs, at the 95% confidence level, in low-mass clusters between $0.5r_{500}$ and 2$r_{500}$, which drops to the field value within the cluster cores ($r<0.5r_{500}$). In contrast, high-mass clusters present a decreasing AGN fraction towards the cluster centres. The high AGN fraction in the outskirts is caused by low-luminosity AGNs. It can be explained by a higher galaxy merging rate in low-mass clusters, where velocity dispersions are not high enough to prevent galaxy interactions and merging. Ram pressure stripping is possible in the cores of all our clusters, but probably stronger in deeper gravitational potentials. Compared with previous studies of massive or high-redshift clusters, we conclude that the AGN fraction in cluster galaxies anti-correlates strongly with cluster mass. The AGN fraction also increases with redshift, but at the same rate with the respective fraction in field galaxies.

BPS bound states, supermembranes, and T-duality in M-theory

description: This is an introductory review on the eleven-dimensional description of the BPS bound states of type II superstring theories, and on the role of supermembranes in M-theory. The first part describes classical solutions of 11d supergravity which upon dimensional reduction and T-dualities give bound states of NS-NS and R-R p-branes of type IIA and IIB string theories. In some cases (e.g. (q_1,q_2) string bound states of type IIB string theory), these non-perturbative objects admit a simple eleven-dimensional description in terms of a fundamental 2-brane. The BPS excitations of such 2-brane are calculated and shown to exactly match the mass spectrum for the BPS (q_1,q_2) string bound states. Different 11d representations of the same bound state can be used to provide inequivalent (T-dual) descriptions of the oscillating BPS states. This permits to test T-duality beyond perturbation theory and, in certain cases, to evade membrane instabilities by going to a stable T-dual representation. We finally summarize the results indicating in what regions of the modular parameter space a supermembrane description for M-theory on R^9 x T^2 seems to be adequate.

description: For the first time, the densities and diversity of microorganisms developed on ocean gliders were investigated using flow cytometry and Illumina MiSeq sequencing of 16S and 18S rRNA genes. Ocean gliders are autonomous buoyancy-driven underwater vehicles, equipped with sensors continuously recording physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Microbial biofilms were investigated on unprotected parts of the glider and surfaces coated with base, biocidal and chitosan paints. Biofilms on the glider were exposed to periodical oscillations of salinity, oxygen, temperature, pressure, depth and light, due to periodic ascending and descending of the vehicle. Among the unprotected surfaces, the highest microbial abundance was observed on the bottom of the glider’s body, while the lowest density was recorded on the glider’s nose. Antifouling paints had the lowest densities of microorganisms. Multidimensional analysis showed that the microbial communities formed on unprotected parts of the glider were significantly different from those on biocidal paint and in seawater.

description: An efficient heterogeneous copper(I)-catalyzed three-component tandem cyclization of ketoxime acetates, aldehydes, and activated methylene compounds has been developed that proceeds smoothly in DMSO at 120 °C by using an 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl-modified MCM-41-bound copper(I) bromide [MCM-41-2N-CuBr] as the catalyst, delivering a variety of polysubstituted pyridines in good to high yields. The heterogenized copper(I) catalyst can be readily obtained via a simple preparative procedure from commercially available and inexpensive reagents, and reused more than seven times without any apparent drop in its catalytic efficiency.

description: It is well-known that the dominant late time behavior of waves propagating on a Schwarzschild spacetime is a power-law tail; tails for other spacetimes have also been studied. This paper presents a systematic treatment of the tail phenomenon for a broad class of models via a Green's function formalism and establishes the following. (i) The tail is governed by a cut of the frequency Green's function $\tilde G(ω)$ along the $-$~Im~$ω$ axis, generalizing the Schwarzschild result. (ii) The $ω$ dependence of the cut is determined by the asymptotic but not the local structure of space. In particular it is independent of the presence of a horizon, and has the same form for the case of a star as well. (iii) Depending on the spatial asymptotics, the late time decay is not necessarily a power law in time. The Schwarzschild case with a power-law tail is exceptional among the class of the potentials having a logarithmic spatial dependence. (iv) Both the amplitude and the time dependence of the tail for a broad class of models are obtained analytically. (v) The analytical results are in perfect agreement with numerical calculations.

description: Extensions provide useful additional functionality for web browsers, but are also an increasingly popular vector for attacks. Due to the high degree of privilege extensions can hold, extensions have been abused to inject advertisements into web pages that divert revenue from content publishers and potentially expose users to malware. Users are often unaware of such practices, believing the modifications to the page originate from publishers. Additionally, automated identification of unwanted third-party modifications is fundamentally difficult, as users are the ultimate arbiters of whether content is undesired in the absence of outright malice. To resolve this dilemma, we present a fine-grained approach to tracking the provenance of web content at the level of individual DOM elements. In conjunction with visual indicators, provenance information can be used to reliably determine the source of content modifications, distinguishing publisher content from content that originates from third parties such as extensions. We describe a prototype implementation of the approach called OriginTracer for Chromium, and evaluate its effectiveness, usability, and performance overhead through a user study and automated experiments. The results demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in the ability of users to identify unwanted third-party content such as injected ads with modest performance overhead.

description: We study effects of SUSY particle decouplings on a quasi fixed point (QFP) of Yukawa coupling. From renormalization group analysis it is shown that if the SUSY breaking scale $M_S$ is large ($\simg 1$TeV), effects of decoupling of Higgsinos and squarks raise the top Yukawa QFP. This tendency is enhanced in most cases of non-universal SUSY breaking. For the case of $M_S\siml 1$TeV, the decoupling of gluinos lowers $m_t^{\rm QFP}$. We checked some parameter dependencies for the top Yukawa QFP. The bottom-top Yukawa unified case is also studied. When top quark mass is measured more precisely, some patterns of soft mass spectra could be excluded if rather large initial top Yukawa coupling is realized by underlying theory.

description: Background: Gastrointestinal angiodysplasias (GIAD) bleeding and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) are increasing health problems. Somatostatin analogues have been proposed as rescue therapy, but data for lanreotide are scarce. Objective: To determine the efficacy, safety and resource saving of long-acting lanreotide for GIAD and OGIB. Methods: Retrospective study including adults with GIAD bleeding or OGIB and lanreotide treatment for at least 6 consecutive months. Demographics, comorbidities and treatments were collected. Anaemia and health resource consumption were analysed and compared between the year before and three years after starting lanreotide. Complete response was defined as a lack of new blood transfusion or endovenous iron dose need. Results: Twenty-seven patients (mean age 76.8 years) were included, 63% taking anticoagulants/antiplatelets. The bleeding was attributable to angiodysplasia in 85.2%, of whom half had multi-site lesions. Lanreotide was administered for a median of 27.1 months. During follow-up of up to 3 years (mean 32.5 months), 18.5% of patients achieved complete response and around 60% a 50% reduction of health resource consumption. Haemoglobin values improved (p = .007), while admission time, blood/iron infusions, and the number of endoscopies decreased significantly (p Conclusion: Long-term treatment with lanreotide significantly improves anaemia and decreases health resource consumption in patients with recurrent GIAD bleeding or OGIB.

The UK national health system (NHS) introduced the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) program in 2007, which provides nationwide, community-based intervention to tackle common mental disorders (CMDs). All IAPT services systematically collect longitudinal patient data at every appointment resulting in the biggest standardised data resource on mental health care provision in the world. AIMS Address the key determinants of outcome in IAPT and establish the associations between ethnicity, social function and psychological treatment outcomes. Test the potential of the WSAS as an additional outcome metric. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted to identify predictors of psychotherapy outcomes for CMDs. These were tested in a large retrospective IAPT cohort (N=78,986) by using multivariate logistic regression models. The statistical associations of the predictor variables, and specifically in ethnic subgroups, with Recovery and Reliable Improvement as the main outcomes were reported. The work and social adjustment scale (WSAS) score was tested as a novel outcome metric using a real change index (RCI) approach for improvement to calculate Reliable WSAS Improvement. FINDINGS Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) status is negatively associated with treatment outcomes. Adjusting the models for confounding factors such as initial morbidity, social function and occupation results in a weaker association for most ethnic groups. Some patients achieved improved social function despite not reaching treatment outcome targets for anxiety and depression. CONCLUSIONS Negative confounders for treatment outcomes are disproportionately reported in BME patients, suggesting multiple disadvantages associated with ethnicity. Improving social function is in itself an important aim of treatment and the Reliable WSAS Improvement is a derived variable that could work well as an additional outcome measure.

Include Me Out: In-Browser Detection of Malicious Third-Party Content Inclusions

description: Modern websites include various types of third-party content such as JavaScript, images, stylesheets, and Flash objects in order to create interactive user interfaces. In addition to explicit inclusion of third-party content by website publishers, ISPs and browser extensions are hijacking web browsing sessions with increasing frequency to inject third-party content (e.g., ads). However, third-party content can also introduce security risks to users of these websites, unbeknownst to both website operators and users. Because of the often highly dynamic nature of these inclusions as well as the use of advanced cloaking techniques in contemporary malware, it is exceedingly difficult to preemptively recognize and block inclusions of malicious third-party content before it has the chance to attack the user's system. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to achieving the goal of preemptive blocking of malicious third-party content inclusion through an analysis of inclusion sequences on the Web. We implemented our approach, called Excision, as a set of modifications to the Chromium browser that protects users from malicious inclusions while web pages load. Our analysis suggests that by adopting our in-browser approach, users can avoid a significant portion of malicious third-party content on the Web. Our evaluation shows that Excision effectively identifies malicious content while introducing a low false positive rate. Our experiments also demonstrate that our approach does not negatively impact a user's browsing experience when browsing popular websites drawn from the Alexa Top 500.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The properties of the QCD partition function at finite chemical potential are studied within the instanton liquid model. It is shown that the density dependence of the quark-induced instanton-antiinstanton (I-A) interaction leads to the formation of topologically neutral I-A pairs ('molecules'), resulting in a first order chiral phase transition at a critical chemical potential $μ_q^c\simeq 310$ MeV. At somewhat higher densities ($μ_q\ge360$ MeV), the quark Fermi surface becomes instable with respect to diquark condensation (Cooper pairs) generating BCS-type energy gaps of order 50 MeV.

Advancing practice for people with low back pain in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through exploring the clinical pathway and patients' characteristics
Creators: name: Aldera, Mai Abdulltif
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a complex health problem affecting people in all countries. There is great heterogeneity between patients with LBP, suggesting the inadequacy of the “one-size-fits-all” approach. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the current management of LBP does not consider this heterogeneity and so may not be optimal. Aim: The thesis intends to advance knowledge to inform the subsequent development of new approaches to delivering back pain services by exploring the following issues: (i) LBP prevalence in the Saudi Arabian population; (ii) existing clinical pathways for patients with LBP in the KSA; (iii) psychosocial, disability and fatigue characteristics of patients with LBP; and (iv) healthcare professionals (HCPs) perspectives on advancing practice in the light of the evidence. Methods: A sequential exploratory mixed methods design was adopted, involving (i) systematic literature review, (ii) two cross-sectional studies; survey (participants; n= 600 patients with LBP and 100 HCPs), and assessment questionnaires (participants n= 300 LBP patient), and (iii) focus group study targeted at a HCPs. Results: In young adults, LBP prevalence was 64-89%. KSA’s clinical pathways for LBP revealed no specific first line of contact, no systematic optimization of appropriate expert resource at the right time and in the right place; minimal planning; and low adherence to evidence-based practice. Regarding patient with LBP characteristics, disability, fatigue, and psychological distress were positively correlated with LBP. Finally, HCPs recommend addressing strategic workforce management deficits, adopting a stratified model of care, and developing practical experience in using this model of care. In addition, facilitators and barriers to advancing practice through a stratified model for LBP were identified. Conclusion: A strategic action plan for advancing practice for LBP in the KSA was proposed. The plan focuses on scalable HCP training, reconfiguration of primary care services, emphasis on patient self-management and education, healthcare system simplification through interdepartmental communication, and implementation of a hybrid interdisciplinary and stratified model of care.

description: Here, we report significant pressure-modulate optoelectronic properties of NiPS3. Upon compression, NiPS3 exhibited a photocurrent increase of five orders of magnitude over the initial value. Interestingly, when NiPS3 was finally decompressed to ambient conditions, the photocurrent could maintain a two-order-of-magnitude enhancement. In addition, the spectral response range was extended to the near-infrared spectral range (up to 1650 nm) under high pressure. Raman and XRD measurements and theoretical calculations revealed significant enhancement in both interlayer and intralayer interactions during compression, leading to a remarkable modulation of the optoelectronic properties. By applying pressure, giant enhancement of photocurrent and tunable spectral response range were achieved in NiPS3, which provides a potential way to modify the optoelectronic properties for materials.
Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz of the Homogeneous Sine-Gordon models

description: We apply the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz to investigate the high energy behaviour of a class of scattering matrices which have recently been proposed to describe the Homogeneous sine-Gordon models related to simply laced Lie algebras. A characteristic feature is that some elements of the suggested S-matrices are not parity invariant and contain resonance shifts which allow for the formation of unstable bound states. From the Lagrangian point of view these models may be viewed as integrable perturbations of WZNW-coset models and in our analysis we recover indeed in the deep ultraviolet regime the effective central charge related to these cosets, supporting therefore the S-matrix proposal. For the $SU(3)_k$-model we present a detailed numerical analysis of the scaling function which exhibits the well known staircase pattern for theories involving resonance parameters, indicating the energy scales of stable and unstable particles. We demonstrate that, as a consequence of the interplay between the mass scale and the resonance parameter, the ultraviolet limit of the HSG-model may be viewed alternatively as a massless ultraviolet-infrared-flow between different conformal cosets. For $k=2$ we recover as a subsystem the flow between the tricritical Ising and the Ising model.

description: When a quantum mechanical system undergoes an adiabatic cyclic evolution it acquires a geometrical phase factor in addition to the dynamical one. This effect has been demonstrated in a variety of microscopic systems. Advances in nanotechnologies should enable the laws of quantum dynamics to be tested at the macroscopic level, by providing controllable artificial two-level systems (for example, in quantum dots and superconducting devices). Here we propose an experimental method to detect geometric phases in a superconducting device. The setup is a Josephson junction nanocircuit consisting of a superconducting electron box. We discuss how interferometry based on geometrical phases may be realized, and show how the effect may applied to the design of gates for quantum computation.

Dynamics of Totally Constrained Systems I. Classical Theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This is the first of a series of papers in which a new formulation of quantum theory is developed for totally constrained systems, that is, canonical systems in which the hamiltonian is written as a linear combination of constraints $h_α$ with arbitrary coefficients. The main purpose of the present paper is to make clear that classical dynamics of a totally constrained system is nothing but the foliation of the constraint submanifold in phase space by the involutive system of infinitesimal canonical transformations $Y_α$ generated by the constraint functions. From this point of view it is shown that statistical dynamics for an ensemble of a totally constrained system can be formulated in terms of a relative distribution function without gauge fixing or reduction. There the key role is played by the fact that the canonical measure in phase space and the vector fields $Y_α$ induce natural conservative measures on acausal submanifolds, which are submanifolds transversal to the dynamical foliation. Further it is shown that the structure coefficients $c^γ_{αβ}$ defined by $\{h_α,h_β\}=\sum_γc^γ_{αβ}h_γ$ should weakly commute with $h_α$, $\sum_γ\{h_γ,c^γ_{αβ}\}\approx0$, in order that the description in terms of the relative distribution function is consistent. The overall picture on the classical dynamics given in this paper provides the basic motivation for the quantum formulation developed in the subsequent papers.
