description: Extended from its electromagnetic counterpart, transformation thermodynamics applied to thermal conduction equations can map a virtual geometry into a physical thermal medium, realizing the manipulation of heat flux with almost arbitrarily desired diffusion paths, which provides unprecedented opportunities to create thermal devices unconceivable or deemed impossible before. In this work we employ this technique to design an efficient plate heater that can transiently achieve a large surface of uniform temperature powered by a small thermal source. As opposed to the traditional approach of relying on the deployment of a resistor network, our approach fully takes advantage of an advanced functional material system to guide the heat flux to achieve the desired temperature heating profile. A different set of material parameters for the transformed device has been developed, offering the parametric freedom for practical applications. As a proof of concept, the proposed devices are implemented with engineered thermal materials and show desired heating behaviors consistent with numerical simulations. Unique applications for these devices can be envisioned where stringent temperature uniformity and a compact heat source are both demanded.

Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Voice over IP (VoIP) is an emerging communication service allowing voice transmission over a private or a public IP network. VoIP allows significant benefits for customers and service providers including cost savings, phone and service portability, mobility, and the integration with other applications. Nevertheless, the deployment of the VoIP technology encounters many challenges such as interoperability issues, security issues, and QoS concerns. Among these disadvantages, QoS issues are considered the most serious due to the QoS problems that may arise on IP networks, and the stringent QoS requirements of voice traffic. The aim of this paper is carry out a deep analysis of the QoS concerns of the VoIP technology. Firstly, we present a brief overview about the VoIP technology. Then, we discuss the QoS issues related to the use of the IP networking technology for voice traffic transmission. After that, we present the QoS concerns related voice clarity. Finally, we present the QoS mechanisms proposed to make the IP technology able to support voice traffic QoS requirements in terms of voice clarity, voice packet delay, packet delay variation, and packet loss.

Towards more effective learning for sustainability: reconceptualising science education
Creators: name: Gough, Annette
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: Environmental education can trace many of its roots to science education, although the relationship between the two has been contested. With the growth of Education for Sustainable Development in the past decade or so the potential relationship between environmental education and science education has strengthened with a growing recognition that an understanding of ecological sustainability is essential if we are to achieve sustainable development. This foregrounding of the importance of an environmental science education has been happening at the same time as student interest in studying traditional science subjects is declining and concerns are being raised about the static nature of science education practices. However, environmental education and Education for Sustainable Development also remain marginalised in most schools and education systems. It thus seems timely to reconsider the nature of both environmental education and science education, and reconceptualise science education to their mutual benefit. The science education that emerges from this reconceptualisation will not be like that currently practiced as, within an ESD context and given the changing nature of youth, a reconceptualised science/environmental education will also need to explicitly address economic and social sustainability as well as ecological sustainability and the significance of “Education for all”.

By means of the gauge transformation, the Wronskian solution of the Ablowitz-Ladik lattice have been given. The $u_1$ of the cdKP hierarchy is a Y-type soliton solution for odd times of the gauge transformation, but it becomes a dark-bright soliton solution for even times of the gauge transformation. The role of the discrete variable $n$ in the profile of the $u_1$ is discussed.

description: Astroparticle physics and cosmology allow us to scan the universe through multiple messengers. It is the combination of these probes that improves our understanding of the universe, both in its composition and its dynamics. Unlike other areas in science, research in astroparticle physics has a real originality in detection techniques, in infrastructure locations, and in the observed physical phenomenon that is not created directly by humans. It is these features that make the minimisation of statistical and systematic errors a perpetual challenge. In all these projects, the environment is turned into a detector medium or a target. The atmosphere is probably the environment component the most common in astroparticle physics and requires a continuous monitoring of its properties to minimise as much as possible the systematic uncertainties associated. This paper introduces the different atmospheric effects to take into account in astroparticle physics measurements and provides a non-exhaustive list of techniques and instruments to monitor the different elements composing the atmosphere. A discussion on the close link between astroparticle physics and Earth sciences ends this paper.

The knowledge-doing gap: how organizational and health studies help understanding of the knowledge-doing gap in sustainability education.
Creators: name: Vongalis-Macrow, Athena
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: Knowledge management seeks to optimize the way organisational knowledge in transferred across the organisation to ensure organizational learning, progress and innovation. Optimising knowledge transfer into action plans is relevant to sustainability, especially in the light of research that shows the reluctance of students putting into practice their knowledge about sustainable use of natural resources and biodiversity. The knowledge-doing gap exhibited by students, through their reluctant application of their knowledge, raises important learning based questions about the knowledge-doing gap and the transformation of knowledge into doable actions. It suggests that no matter how powerful the ideas, translating those ideas into action, beyond classroom and beyond curriculum strategies remains elusive. For this reason, the deconstruction of the space between knowledge and doing is essential to reconsider. How this space is constituted is a multidimensional problem which may be better understood through an examination of organizational learning and through practice based behavioural change theories.

Social ecology and creative pedagogy: using creative arts and critical thinking in co-creating and sustaining ecological learning webs in university pedagogies
Creators: name: Camden Pratt, Catherine
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: In this article I write to know and begin a conversation about how to co-create and sustain ecological learning webs in tertiary pedagogies. It is positioned in applied social ecology using creative arts, critical thinking - including critical autobiography - as pedagogical approaches in a 100 Level undergraduate unit Learning and Creativity at the University of Western Sydney. The article gives examples of and explores specific experiential based pedagogical approaches with an exploration of the relevant theory along with student feedback on the pedagogies discussed. Praxis using creative arts and critical thinking provides a model for critical sustainable engaged tertiary pedagogies. Being positioned within a social ecology mapping of the inter-relationship between the personal, the social/political/cultural; the environment and the spiritual enables students to learn in a holistic and response-able manner and places them at the centre of their learning. Writing to know illuminated how working in the ways I do simultaneously allows me as teacher to participate as a learner and in doing so, sustain my teaching. Be-ing teacher/learner inside do-ing teaching/learning is a way of approaching the tertiary pedagogical site that facilitates and models sustainability through building an ecological web of relationships that opens opportunities for student and teacher transformation.

Teaching an ecological world-orientation through teaching history
Creators: name: Gare, Arran
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: Arguing that the eco-catastrophe facing us requires a dramatic change in direction, it is suggested that education has to be fundamentally reconceived. It is necessary to teach an ‘ecological world-orientation’, and it is shown what this entails. This is not merely a different view of the world, it is argued; it involves firstly, developing an ‘internalist’ perspective in place of an ‘externalist’ perspective, one in which students learn to see themselves, their actions and their beliefs as part of the world they are trying to understand, and secondly, experiencing the world in process of becoming rather than as a world of predicable objects. Teaching an ecological world-orientation means teaching students to think of their education as participation in creating themselves, their society and nature. It is argued that this should begin with appreciating the significance of historical narrative before teaching a post-reductionist form of science.

Sustainable pedagogy: a research narrative about teachers, creativity and performativity
Creators: name: White, Julie
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2009

description: By relating ecology to pedagogy, this paper establishes the need to shift the focus from classroom strategy and teacher compliance to professional interaction and teacher voice in order to sustain teachers in their work. The impact of environmental factors on the maintenance and development of teacher pedagogy is explored through consideration of performativity and creativity and an emerging conceptualisation of pedagogy is forwarded and illustrated with three recent pedagogy projects. The paper concludes that ‘sustainable pedagogy’ affords a richer and more complex understanding of teacher identity and professionalism and that creativity might provide a suitable antidote to performativity.

description: The "Ping-Pong" (PP) protocol is a two-way quantum key protocol based on entanglement. In this protocol, Bob prepares one maximally entangled pair of qubits, and sends one qubit to Alice. Then, Alice performs some necessary operations on this qubit and sends it back to Bob. Although this protocol was proposed in 2002, its security in the noisy and lossy channel has not been proven. In this report, we add a simple and experimentally feasible modification to the original PP protocol, and prove the security of this modified PP protocol against collective attacks when the noisy and lossy channel is taken into account. Simulation results show that our protocol is practical.

Is there supercurvature mode of massive vector field in open inflation?

description: We investigate the Euclidean vacuum mode functions of a massive vector field in a spatially open chart of de Sitter spacetime. In the one-bubble open inflationary scenario that naturally predicts a negative spatial curvature after a quantum tunneling, it is known that a light scalar field has the so-called supercurvature mode, i.e. an additional discrete mode which describes fluctuations over scales larger than the spatial curvature scale. If such supercurvature modes exist for a vector field with a sufficiently light mass, then they would decay slower and easily survive the inflationary era. However, the existence of supercurvature mode strongly depends on details of the system. To clarify whether a massive vector field has supercurvature modes, we consider a U(1) gauge field with gauge and conformal invariances spontaneously broken through the Higgs mechanism, and present explicit expressions for the Euclidean vacuum mode functions. We find that, for any values of the vector field mass, there is no supercurvature mode. In the massless limit, the absence of supercurvature modes in the scalar sector stems from the gauge symmetry.

Dilemmas in Providing Hospitality to Others in the Classroom: A Story of One Christian Religious Education Teacher
Creators: name: Kameniar, Barbara Maria
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2008

description: This paper aims at rethinking the relationship that exists between White teachers and the religious/cultural/racial Others they teach about in terms of host/guest relations. It engages Derrida’s analysis of hospitality to highlight tensions that exist between laws (or rules) of hospitality and the law of unlimited hospitality. The paper discusses how this tension impacts upon the capacity of teachers to talk through and teach about Others in ways that maintain the integrity of their own cultural and religious traditions, and a tradition which is always Other to them. It takes a case of a White Christian religious education teacher in Adelaide, South Australia, who attempted to teach about Buddhism in a way that did not subordinate Asian religious Others to the dominant tradition of the school. The discussion highlights this teacher’s willingness to engage with difference on its own terms and to also engage with the ‘modulations’ of her own otherness. The paper concludes by arguing that the contradictory obligations teachers have to act as ‘hosts’ to Others and as ‘agents of the Host/s’ must be restlessly and endlessly negotiated.

Construir currículo na ultra-periferia da Europa em tempo de globalização: dois cenários alternativos (Curriculum making on the edge of Europe in the age of globalization: two alternative scenarios - Portuguese version)

description: Com este artigo, pretende-se discutir – à luz dos debates sobre a globalização – algumas implicações da posição ultra-periférica dos Açores em termos de construção curricular. Considerando que a construção curricular em Portugal tem sido bastante centralizada mas o governo da Região Autónoma dos Açores tomou recentemente a iniciativa de conceber um currículo regional para o ensino básico, discutir-se-ão dois cenários alternativos para o prosseguimento da sua construção. Um dos cenários é baseado numa abordagem categorial à diferença – um tipo de abordagem que tem predominado em muitas iniciativas cujos princípios orientadores se baseiam, até certo ponto, num compromisso para com a defesa dos interesses de determinadas minorias. O outro cenário é baseado numa abordagem não categorial à diferença, inspirada na “gramática da diferença” proposta por Nicholas Burbules. Argumentar-se-á que este último tipo de abordagem é, em princípio, mais sensível a todos os tipos de diferença que se manifestam na escola e, portanto, mais susceptível de acomodar diferenças que resultam das características específicas dos Açores, sem lidar com estas últimas através de estratégias que possam isolar o currículo regional e prejudicar a sua abertura a abordagens cosmopolitas ao conhecimento.

description: We study anticipated synchronization in two complex Ginzburg-Landau systems coupled in a master-slave configuration. Master and slave systems are ruled by the same autonomous function, but the slave system receives the injection from the master and is subject to a negative delayed self-feedback loop. We give evidence that the magnitude of the largest anticipation time depends on the dynamical regime where the system operates (defect turbulence, phase turbulence or bichaos) and scales with the linear autocorrelation time of the system. Moreover, we find that the largest anticipation times are obtained for complex-valued coupling constants. We provide analytical conditions for the stability of the anticipated synchronization manifold that are in qualitative agreement with those obtained numerically. Finally, we report on the existence of anticipated synchronization in coupled two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau systems.

Curriculum making on the edge of Europe in the age of globalization: two alternative scenarios
Creators: name: Sousa, Francisco Rodrigues
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2007

description: My purpose in this article is to discuss – in the light of the current debates on globalization – some possible implications of the peripheral position of the region where I live – The Azores, Portugal – for curriculum construction. Considering that curriculum construction in Portugal has been traditionally very centralized but the regional government of the Azores has recently started to design a regional curriculum, I shall discuss two alternative scenarios for its construction. One of the scenarios is based on a categorical approach to difference – a kind of approach that has prevailed among many curricular initiatives whose guiding principles emerge, to some extent, from a commitment to the advocacy of certain minorities. The other scenario is based on a non-categorical approach to difference, inspired by the “grammar of difference” proposed by Nicholas Burbules. I will argue that the latter kind of approach is, in principle, more respectful of every kind of difference operating in school and, therefore, more likely to accommodate differences that result from the specific characteristics of the Azores without treating them in ways that might isolate the regional curriculum, that is, jeopardize its openness to cosmopolitan views of knowledge.

description: This presentation detailed the journey of re-instating a highly valued Metrics and Research Impact Service whilst balancing client expectations and finite staffing. Building blocks included transferrable skill sets such as networking, acquiring specialist knowledge, identifying key stakeholders, and strategic touchpoints for workshops. Sustainability was prioritised through designing a service charter detailing services that are in and out of scope, building capacity across the wider team, and the creation of a consultation bookings page. An ethos of excellence in service makes every opportunity count and leads to a ripple effect stimulating client interest across further service offerings relevant to their needs. Integral to success are teamwork and asking for and acting on client feedback.

description: D. T. Suzuki (1870 - 1966) in his sermons on Zen Buddhism, by comparing two poems by Basho (1644 - 1694) and Tennyson (1809 - 1892) , reveals two types of thought that have also spread to art. He sees the nature of the Eastern description in observation and the nature of the Western description, and from this he arrives at the inner result of an artist. In this article, using an anthropological study using Suzuki’s theory of the difference between East and West, we try to make a dialectical study that has led to the production of works by Yukio Mishima (1925 - 1970) and Robert Wilson (1941-). Focusing on the old forms of drama in Japan, Mishima began writing modern plays for Kabuki and Noh. Wilson also created a modern work in Einstein’s play on the beach, using Japanese theatrical traditions. Both were trying to deconstruct old species from museum use and achieve new shapes from the heart of tradition. But there has long been a concern that the ancient species, because of the relations they have within themselves, should be done in the same structure, because leaving that structure would be tantamount to leaving their body, and this was seen as an emptying of previous traditions. So what to do with this tradition? Hence, the question of this research is how to deal with tradition, using the fusion of two traditions, East and West. The hypothesis of this article is that Mishima and Wilson sanctified traditions but at the same time preserved their spirit. In this way, Mishima turned his attention to the text, and Wilson focused on the area of the body and the verbal and physical fragmentation in a Noh play. Both maintained the behavior and accompanied the modernization process wit h the behavior. In their opinion, a new ritualization should be realized in the modern field as well, and without the new ritual, the old ritualization cannot be modernized and cannot be displayed
Teaching for social justice: reflections from a core unit in a teacher education program
Creators: name: Naidoo, Loshini
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2007

description: Teacher educators need forms of pedagogy and counter-knowledge that challenge their internalised ideologies and subjective identities. Pre-service teachers need to critique ideologies, examine the influences on their thinking and identities and consider the kind of teachers they want to become. They need to be active in constructing and maintaining classrooms that promote social justice. While teachers are expected to interrogate social justice incidents, this requires skill and courage in the current context. In many instances it has been much easier to resort to methods of discipline, control, and silence when faced with a sense of inadequacy. Often, the complexities that emerge during periods of social crisis are marginalised and silenced. Given the location of the University of Western Sydney – in the very suburbs of Greater Western Sydney where these shifting identity politics are most urgently contested – it is important that we, as educators, play a major role, especially in responding to major educational and community concerns around issues of social justice. Such a focus will allow teachers to evaluate social institutions critically and commit them to working democratically with others. Hence, teachers need not only be aware of and eventually respect those from diverse cultural backgrounds but also be critical of the policies and practices of the school systems in which they work. This paper focuses on the actual educational practices regarding social justice that are enacted in a university lecture room. I examine the impact of a Social Justice Education coursework unit in nurturing transformative practices and capacities among a group of diverse university students who have the ability to keep an open mind and bring about change in the teaching-learning process. The paper is based on findings of a study, conducted from February 2004 to July 2004 that examined the pre-service teachers’ beliefs and knowledge for social justice before and after they completed the ‘Social Justice Issues in Secondary Education’ unit and after they completed their four week (May 2004) student teacher practicum in the field. The study focused on how and if the knowledge, experiences, activities, and strategies that the students engaged in and learned about in the ‘Social Justice Issues in Secondary Education’ class influenced their beliefs and practices about integrating a social justice perspective in their student teaching.

description: We study the evolution of three fields in the outer LMC disk Rgc=3.5-6.2 Kpc. Their star formation history indicates a stellar populations gradient such that younger stellar populations are more centrally concentrated. We identify two main star forming epochs, separated by a period of lower activity between ~7 and ~4 Gyr ago. Their relative importance varies from a similar amount of stars formed in the two epochs in the innermost field, to only 40% of the stars formed in the more recent epoch in the outermost field. The young star forming epoch continues to the present time in the innermost field, but lasted only till ~0.8 and 1.3 Gyr ago at Rgc=5.5 degrees and 7.1 degrees, respectively. This gradient is correlated with the measured HI column density and implies an outside-in quenching of the star formation, possibly related to a variation of the size of the HI disk. This could either result from gas depletion due to star formation or ram-pressure stripping, or from to the compression of the gas disk as ram-pressure from the Milky Way halo acted on the LMC interstellar medium. The latter two situations may have occurred when the LMC first approached the Milky Way.

Monocultural constructs: a transnational reflects on early childhood institutions
Creators: name: Rhedding-Jones, Jeanette
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2007

description: A critical monocultural focus seeks to uncover the problematics multiculturalism and anti-racism encounters. Ignoring the problems of what the majority is doing, and who within communities and institutions and small groups holds power, will not change curriculum practices, student enrolments, texts, literacies and assessment. Such changes are wanted by early childhood institutions with reconceptualising agendas, and by the related higher educations. Given the high percentage of children with ethnic minority backgrounds, and the high percentage of teacher-carers and lecturers from cultural majorities, pre-schooling and its higher education are out of step with today’s urban realities. Critical questions and answers here regard representation and reconstruction. As ways of working towards these the essay considers globalization and race, ethnicity and culture, language and self, postnationalism and transnationalism. It presents exemplifications from early childhood fields, to indicate how institutions continue to construct the monocultural. Thus the essay requests new professionalisms for anti-racist and critical multicultural practices, rather than allowing the glibness of multiculturalism to discursively produce yet another normalisation. Focusing on the monocultural instead of the multicultural is thus an overtly political practice.

description: Intuitively, restorative practice seems like it should work. It feels like a good idea. However, in this age of evidence-based practice and rigorous evaluation, funders and sceptics need reassurance that something definitely does 'work'. From my own perspective, I have long wished to see restorative practice principles become more fully embedded in the youth and criminal justice systems in Scotland. Such principles seem to have real value and relevance in the context of residential child care and work with vulnerable children and young people too. Take Atkinson Secure Children's Home in Exeter as an example. Puffett (2013) describes how this institution witnessed an 87% reduction in restraint incidents over five years and less frequent recourse to the use of single separation following staff members' embrace of restorative principles. It became the first Children's Home to be awarded a Restorative Service Quality Mark (RSQM) by the Restorative Justice Council (RJC). This edited collection by Vernon Kelly and Margaret Thorsborne is therefore extremely timely because in The Psychology of Emotion in Restorative Practice, they begin to articulate a theory as to why restorative practice 'works', drawing heavily from Affect Script Psychology (ASP).

An Australian Mathematics Educator in South East Asia: Globalization has Virtually Changed Everything
Creators: name: White, Allan Leslie
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2007

description: The world of the twenty-first century is characterized by change and uncertainty that is usually given the name, "globalization". Universities have been exposed to increasing competition via the market place and some have embraced greater use of on-line teaching and learning technologies. Globalization has impacted upon the nature of work of academics in the interplay of global and local processes. In this paper the focus will be upon how an Australian mathematics educator involved in pre-service education responded to the challenges of globalization with a particular focus upon the move to virtual spaces. It will draw upon the educator’s research and publications in responding to the challenges. Research involving a Japanese teacher professional learning process implemented in Australia and Malaysia will be briefly used as an illustration. This paper presents the reader with an opportunity to reflect and judge whether the issues resonate with the reader's personal experiences and appear to be universal or are specific responses to the local context.

English Language Teaching in non-English Language Countries: The Curriculum Impact of Globalization and Computer-Mediated Communication
Creators: name: Wu, Li
name: Cao, Tingjun
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2007

description: The spread of the English language and the emergence of the Internet are mutually reinforcing trends in an age of globalization. The Internet appears to revolutionize the ways of human communication especially English language learning in a global context. This means that learners of the English language today need a new set of critical and interpretive skills. Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) therefore, need to understand how the Internet is revolutionizing English language learning. This paper discusses the impact of the Internet on English language learning as well as the need for new frameworks for teaching the English language in computer mediated contexts.

Cross-correlations between soft and hard light curves depending on luminosity in the transient neutron star XTE J1701-462

description: Using all the observations from Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer for accreting neutron star XTE J1701-462, we carry out a systematic study on the cross-correlation between its soft and hard light curves. The anti-correlations appear at the hard vertex and on the upper normal branch (NB) in the Cyg-like interval, occur on the horizontal branch (HB) and/or upper NB in the first and second Sco-like intervals, and display at the upper flaring branch (FB) in the third Sco-like interval. We suggest that the anti-correlation might evolve with luminosity, because with decreasing of luminosity, the source evolved from a Cyg-like Z source, via a Sco-like Z source, to an atoll source. In the Cyg-like interval, the positive correlations are mostly distributed on the HB, which is not consistent with that of the Cyg-like Z source GX 5-1 and Cyg X-2 whose HBs host ambiguous correlations and anti-correlations. From our spectral analyses, it is found that the ratio of the hard emission to the soft emission basically keeps unvaried from the HB to the hard vertex, which might result in the positive correlation. Additionally, we compare the spectra in the third Sco-like interval with those of atoll source 4U 1735-44 and find that their spectral evolution along the tracks in the color-color diagrams are similar, indicating that in this interval, XTE J1701-462 approaches an atoll source. Both hard time lags and soft time lags are detected and the possible origins of them are discussed.

Cosmic-Ray Proton to Electron Ratios

description: A basic quantity in the characterization of relativistic particles is the proton-to-electron (p/e) energy density ratio. We derive a simple approximate expression suitable to estimate this quantity, U_p/U_e = (m_p/m_e)^(3-q)/2, valid when a nonthermal `gas' of these particles is electrically neutral and the particles' power-law spectral indices are equal -- e.g., at injection. This relation partners the well-known p/e number density ratio at 1 GeV, i.e. N_p/N_e = (m_p/m_e)^{(q-1)/2}.

China’s Policy towards Minority Languages in a Globalising Age
Creators: name: Zuo, Xiulan
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2007

description: Globalisation tends to favour the spread of English as a global language, posing threats to the future of many other minority languages around the world. Language loss is an important issue to consider for multicultural societies in the 21stcentury. This paper presents an overview on Chinese government’s policies in preserving minority languages in China. From the discussion in this paper, it would appear that language policies are significant in preserving people’s linguistic diversity. However, lack of evidence makes it difficult to evaluate the overall effectiveness of these policies in promoting linguistic diversity. Research is therefore, needed to determine the issues in implementation and the effectiveness of language polices in promoting linguistic diversity.

description: The behavior of the nucleon structure functions in lepton nuclei deep inelastic scattering, both polarized and unpolarized, due to nuclear structure effects is reanalyzed. The study is performed in two schemes: an x-rescaling approach, and one in which there is an increase of sea quark components in the in medium nucleon, related to the low energy N-N interaction. In view of a recent interesting experimental proposal to study the behavior of the proton spin structure functions in nuclei we proceed to compare these approaches in an effort to enlighten the possible phenomenological interest of such difficult experiment.
