description: The trigonometric Ruijsenaars-Schneider model is derived by symplectic reduction of Poisson-Lie symmetric free motion on the group U(n). The commuting flows of the model are effortlessly obtained by reducing canonical free flows on the Heisenberg double of U(n). The free flows are associated with a very simple Lax matrix, which is shown to yield the Ruijsenaars-Schneider Lax matrix upon reduction.

description: Computing collision-free trajectories is of prime importance for safe navigation. We present an approach for computing the collision probability under Gaussian distributed motion and sensing uncertainty with the robot and static obstacle shapes approximated as ellipsoids. The collision condition is formulated as the distance between ellipsoids and unlike previous approaches we provide a method for computing the exact collision probability. Furthermore, we provide a tight upper bound that can be computed much faster during online planning. Comparison to other state-of-the-art methods is also provided. The proposed method is evaluated in simulation under varying configuration and number of obstacles.

description: General relativity can be formulated as a SU(2) BF-theory with constraints, as has been shown, by Plebański. The cosmological constant term can be obtained from the constraint term, following from the consistency of the equations of motion, as recently shown by Krasnov. We consider an $OSp(2|1)$ invariant, supergravity extension of this theory, for which the consistency of the equations of motion and the constraints contribute as well to the cosmological constant terms of Townsend's supergravity. The Kalb-Ramond invariance is shortly discussed.

Small moment antiferromagnetic ordering in single crystalline La2Ni7

description: Single crystals of La2Ni7 have been grown out of a binary, La-Ni melt. Temperature dependent, zero magnetic field, specific heat, electrical resistivity, and low field magnetization measurements indicate that there is a series of antiferromagnetic phase transitions at T1 = 61.0 \pm 0.2 K, T2 = 56.5 \pm 0.2 K and T3 = 42.2 \pm 0.2 K. The three specific heat anomalies found at these temperatures qualitatively have very small entropy changes associated with them and the anisotropic M(H) data saturate at ~ 0.12 μB/Ni; both observations strongly suggesting the AFM order is associated with very small, itinerant, moments. Anisotropic, H||c and H{\perp}c, ρ(H) and M(H) isotherms as well as constant field, ρ(T) and M(T) sweeps manifest signatures of multiple phase lines and result in H-T phase diagrams that are clearly anisotropic. Analysis of M(T) and M(H) data allow for the identification of the two lower temperature magnetically ordered states as antiferromagnetically ordered, with the moments aligned along the crystallographic c-axis, and the higher temperature, T2 < T < T1, state as having a finite ferromagnetic component. In addition, the metamagnetic transition at low temperatures, for H applied along the crystallographic c-axis (H||c) appears to be a near classic example of a spin-flop transition, resulting in a field stabilized antiferromagnetic state with the moments ordered perpendicular to the c-axis. Although the small moment ordering, and existence of multiple phase transitions in field and temperature, suggesting an energetic proximity of these states, could foretell a degree of pressure sensitivity, our measurements of R(T) for applied pressures up to 2.0 GPa indicate that there is very little pressure dependence of T1, T2 and T3.

description: The most intriguing question of modern astronomy is the question of our Universe formation. The Hubble diagram analysis with Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) is widely used to estimate the cosmological parameters with high accuracy. The cosmological measurements allow us to better understand the early stages of the Universe evolution. Nevertheless, the redshift on the SN Ia Hubble diagram includes the contribution from the unknown peculiar velocities that decreases the accuracy of such measurements. We consider the contamination of peculiar velocities of the host galaxies for those SNe that exploded in galaxy clusters. For this purpose, we use the Pantheon cosmological sample and offer the procedure to minimise the influence of such uncertainties.

description: We present numerical simulations and laboratory experiments on an eight-octant phase-mask (EOPM) coronagraph. The numerical simulations suggest that an achievable contrast for the EOPM coronagraph can be greatly improved as compared to that of a four-quadrant phase-mask (FQPM) coronagraph for a partially resolved star. On-sky transmission maps reveal that the EOPM coronagraph has relatively high optical throughput, a small inner working angle and large discovery space. We have manufactured an eight-segment phase mask utilizing a nematic liquid-crystal device, which can be easily switched between the FQPM and the EOPM modes. The laboratory experiments demonstrate that the EOPM coronagraph has a better tolerance of the tip-tilt error than the FQPM one. We also discuss feasibility of a fully achromatic and high-throughput EOPM coronagraph utilizing a polarization interferometric technique.

description: We find the general form of all the supersymmetric configurations and solutions of N=2,d=4 Einstein-Yang-Mills theories. In the timelike case, which we study in great detail, giving many examples, the solutions to the full supergravity equations can be constructed from known flat spacetime solutions of the Bogomol'nyi equations. This allows the regular supersymmetric embedding in supergravity of regular monopole solutions ('t Hooft-Poyakov's, Weinberg's, Wilkinson and Bais's) but also embeddings of irregular solutions to the Bogomol'nyi equations which turn out to be regular black holes with different forms of non-Abelian hair once the non-triviality of the spacetime metric is taken into account. The attractor mechanism is realized in a gauge-covariant way. In the null case we determine the general equations that supersymmetric configurations and solutions must satisfy but we do not find relevant new supersymmetric solutions.

description: The relaxation of a quantum field stored in a high-$Q$ superconducting cavity is monitored by non-resonant Rydberg atoms. The field, subjected to repetitive quantum non-demolition (QND) photon counting, undergoes jumps between photon number states. We select ensembles of field realizations evolving from a given Fock state and reconstruct the subsequent evolution of their photon number distributions. We realize in this way a tomography of the photon number relaxation process yielding all the jump rates between Fock states. The damping rates of the $n$ photon states ($0\leq n \leq 7$) are found to increase linearly with $n$. The results are in excellent agreement with theory including a small thermal contribution.

Lepton-flavor changing decays and non-unitarity in the inverse seesaw mechanism

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

description: The pursuit for the genuine fundamental description, governing nature at some high-energy scale, must invariably consider the yet-unknown mechanism behind the generation of neutrino mass. Lepton-flavor violating decays $l_α\to l_β\,γ$, allowed in the presence of neutrino mass and mixing, provide a mean to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. In the present work we consider the inverse seesaw mechanism and then revisit the calculation of its contributions to the branching ratios of the aforementioned decay processes. Our analytic results are consistent, as they are gauge invariant, gauge independent, ultraviolet finite, and of decoupling nature. Among the decays $l_α\to l_βγ$, we find $μ\toγ\,e$ to be the most promising, in the light of current bounds by the MEG Collaboration. Deviations from unitarity in the mixing of light neutrinos are related to the branching ratios ${\rm Br}\big( l_α\toγ\,l_β\big)$ in a simple manner, which we address, then finding that the constraints on non-unitarity effects from MEG data will be improved by the upcoming MEG II update by a factor $\sim\frac{1}{3}$.

description: The origin of the astrophysical neutrino flux discovered by IceCube remains largely unknown. Several individual neutrino source candidates were observed. Among them is the gamma-ray flaring blazar TXS 0506+056. A similar coincidence of a high-energy neutrino and a gamma-ray flare was found in blazar PKS 0735+178. By modeling the spectral energy distributions of PKS 0735+178, we expect to investigate the physical conditions for neutrino production during different stages of the source activity. We analyze the multi-wavelength data during the selected periods of time. Using numerical simulations of radiation processes in the source, we study the parameter space of one-zone leptonic and leptohadronic models and find the best-fit solutions that explain the observed photon fluxes. We show the impact of model parameter degeneracy on the prediction of the neutrino spectra. We show that the available mutli-wavelength data are not sufficient to predict the neutrino spectrum unambiguously. Still, under the condition of maximal neutrino flux, we propose a scenario in which 0.2 neutrino events are produced during the 50 days flare.

description: Algebraic lattices are those obtained from modules in the ring of integers of algebraic number fields through the canonical or twisted embeddings. In turn, well-rounded lattices are those with maximal cardinality of linearly independent vectors in its set of minimal vectors. Both classes of lattices have been applied for signal transmission in some channels, such as wiretap channels. Recently, some advances have been made in the search for well-rounded lattices that can be realized as algebraic lattices. Moreover, some works have been published studying algebraic lattices obtained from modules in cyclic number fields of odd prime degree $p$. In this work, we generalize some results of a recent work of Tran et al. and we provide new constructions of well-rounded algebraic lattices from a certain family of modules in the ring of integers of each of these fields when $p$ is ramified in its extension over the field of rational numbers.

description: We report the discovery of a 7.3 Mjup exoplanet WASP-14b, one of the most massive transiting exoplanets observed to date. The planet orbits the tenth-magnitude F5V star USNO-B1 11118-0262485 with a period of 2.243752 days and orbital eccentricity e = 0.09. A simultaneous fit of the transit light curve and radial velocity measurements yields a planetary mass of 7.3+/-0.5 Mjup and a radius of 1.28+/-0.08 Rjup. This leads to a mean density of about 4.6 g/cm^3 making it densest transiting exoplanets yet found at an orbital period less than 3 days. We estimate this system to be at a distance of 160+/-20 pc. Spectral analysis of the host star reveals a temperature of 6475+/-100 K, log g = 4.07 cm/s^2 and vsin i = 4.9+/-1.0 km/s, and also a high lithium abundance, log N(Li} = 2.84+/-0.05. The stellar density, effective temperature and rotation rate suggest an age for the system of about 0.5-1.0 Gyr.

description: Investigating Li$^+$ transport within the amorphous lithium phosphorous oxynitride (LiPON) framework, especially across a Li||LiPON interface, has proven challenging due to its amorphous nature and varying stoichiometry, necessitating large supercells and long timescales for computational models. Notably, machine learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) can combine the computational speed of classical force fields with the accuracy of density functional theory (DFT), making them the ideal tool for modelling such amorphous materials. Thus, in this work, we train and validate the neural equivariant Interatomic potential (NequIP) framework on a comprehensive DFT-based dataset consisting of 13,454 chemically relevant structures to describe LiPON. With an optimized training (validation) energy and force mean absolute errors of 5.5 (6.1) meV/atom and 13.6 (13.2) meV/Å, respectively, we employ the trained potential in model Li-transport in both bulk LiPON and across a Li||LiPON interface. Amorphous LiPON structures generated by the optimized potential do resemble those generated by ab initio molecular dynamics, with N being incorporated on non-bridging apical and bridging sites. Subsequent analysis of Li$^+$ diffusivity in the bulk LiPON structures indicates broad agreement with computational and experimental literature so far. Further, we investigate the anisotropy in Li$^+$ transport across the Li(110)||LiPON interface, where we observe Li-transport across the interface to be one order-of-magnitude slower than Li-motion within the bulk Li and LiPON phases. Nevertheless, we note that this anisotropy of Li-transport across the interface is minor and do not expect it to cause any significant impedance buildup. Finally, our work highlights the efficiency of MLIPs in enabling high-fidelity modelling of complex non-crystalline systems over large length and time scales.

description: This article is devoted to usage of stylistics in translation process. Modern translation activity is associated with original texts of different styles. It is not at all easy to convey the author’s feelings, state, and experiences during translation. For this, it is not enough to have a large vocabulary, although this plays an important role. It is important to be able to recognize expression in the translated text. The translator sometimes deliberately resorts to the use of stylistic devices to give greater expressiveness and sensuality to the created text.

description: Although various limits on the predicability of physical phenomena as well as on physical knowables are commonly established and accepted, we challenge their ultimate validity. More precisely, we claim that fundamental limits arise only from our limited imagination and fantasy. To illustrate this thesis we give evidence that the well-known Turing incomputability barrier can be trespassed via quantum indeterminacy. From this algorithmic viewpoint, the "fine tuning" of physical phenomena amounts to a "(re)programming" of the universe.

Ecology and freedom
Creators: name: Battersby, Mark E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The so-called ecological crisis consists of the twin problems of resource exhaustion and pollution. The problems are largely the result of high and increasing levels of consumption and production, and do not lend themselves to a technological solution. Extensive political controls must be imposed to protect the environment, but these controls promise curtailment of traditional freedoms of property and lifestyle. But Rousseau has suggested a solution to the problem of the social need for control and freedom: participatory democracy. Participatory democracy achieves freedom and control because decisions are arrived at collectively and through persuasion, minimizing the need for coercive control, and giving each participant a sense of identification with the decision making process. Participation also accords with our understanding of human nature once we free ourselves of the misleading psychologies of Hobbes and Adam Smith. Indeed Bishop Butler, famous for his refutation of Hobbes' egoism, has also suggested the alternative theory that people are socially motivated. John Adams extended this analysis to show the fundamental role that the human need for public esteem plays in political behavior. People need the experience of citizenship for their self esteem, and participation utilizes this need to encourage dedication to the public good. Environmental protection is a paradigm public good and should, therefore, receive adequate support in a society with extensive participation. In addition, participation and public work provide satisfying alternatives to private consumption. Widespread participation in industry is a practical possibility as has been shown by various experiments in industrial democracy and can also work at a nationwide level as has been demonstrated in Yugoslavia. In addition there are other models for widespread participation such as that of the Guild Socialists and Frederic Thayer.

description: Exploiting IRAM 30m CO spectroscopy, we find that SDSS post-merger galaxies display gas fractions and depletion times enhanced by 25-50%, a mildly higher CO excitation, and standard molecular-to-atomic gas ratios, compared to non-interacting galaxies with similar redshift, stellar mass ($M_{\star}$) and star-formation rate (SFR). To place these results in context, we compile further samples of interacting or starbursting galaxies, from pre-coalescence kinematic pairs to post-starbursts, carefully homogenising gas mass, $M_{\star}$ and SFR measurements in the process. We explore systematics by duplicating our analysis for different SFR and $M_{\star}$ estimators, finding good qualitative agreement in general. Gas fractions and depletion times are enhanced in interacting pairs, albeit by less than for post-mergers. Among all samples studied, gas fraction and depletion time enhancements appear largest in young (a few 100 Myr) post-starbursts. While there is only partial overlap between post-mergers and post-starbursts, this suggests that molecular gas reservoirs are boosted throughout most stages of galaxy interactions, plausibly due to torque-driven inflows of halo gas and gas compression. The gas fraction and depletion time offsets of mergers and post-starbursts anti-correlate with distance from the galaxy main sequence $Δ({\rm MS})$, evidencing the role of SFE in driving the high SFRs of the strongest starbursts. Post-starbursts display the steepest dependency of gas fraction and SFE-offsets on $Δ({\rm MS})$, with an evolving normalisation that reflects gas reservoir depletion over time. Our multi-sample analysis paints a coherent picture of the starburst-merger connection throughout the low-z merger sequence. It reconciles contradictory literature findings by highlighting that gas fraction enhancements and SFE variations both play their part in merger-driven star formation.

description: We report on a Raman scattering investigation of the charge-density-wave (CDW), quasi two-dimensional rare-earth tri-tellurides $R$Te$_3$ ($R$= La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd and Dy) at ambient pressure, and of LaTe$_3$ and CeTe$_3$ under externally applied pressure. The observed phonon peaks can be ascribed to the Raman active modes for both the undistorted as well as the distorted lattice in the CDW state by means of a first principles calculation. The latter also predicts the Kohn anomaly in the phonon dispersion, driving the CDW transition. The integrated intensity of the two most prominent modes scales as a characteristic power of the CDW-gap amplitude upon compressing the lattice, which provides clear evidence for the tight coupling between the CDW condensate and the vibrational modes.

description: This flip book is a creative and collaborative outcome of the team-building activity conducted during the kick-off meeting of the CONVIVIUM project (https://doi.org/10.3030/101178921). Designed as a recipe book, it captures the collective spirit of the project, where small groups came together to create recipes that embody the essence of convivium—celebrating cultural heritage, sustainability, and shared experiences through food.

The recipes featured in this book were conceived and prepared in a professional cooking setting at the Escola de Hotelaria e Turismo in Coimbra. The process began with a collective visit to Coimbra’s traditional market, where participants carefully selected ingredients that reflect local and sustainable food practices. These ingredients were then transformed into dishes that represent the project’s values—honoring tradition while embracing innovation.

CONVIVIUM is a European initiative that integrates cultural heritage into the European Green Deal by leveraging the material, semiotic, and symbolic power of food. Recognizing food as a shared experience and a “living heritage,” the project fosters sustainability and social transformation through cultural, architectural, and digital interventions. By mobilizing creative forces inspired by the New European Bauhaus, CONVIVIUM aims to support farmers, designers, policymakers, and cultural practitioners in shaping food heritage-based solutions that promote environmental harmony, economic resilience, and cultural enrichment.

Spanning six diverse locations across Europe, CONVIVIUM explores food cultures in their local contexts while fostering cross-border collaboration. This flip book not only encapsulates the team-building experience but also serves as a testament to the project’s broader vision: to cultivate meaningful connections through food, tradition, and innovation.

description: We introduce three compact graph states that can be used to perform a measurement-based Toffoli gate. Given a weighted graph of six, seven or eight qubits, we show that success probabilities of 1/4, 1/2 and 1 respectively can be achieved. Our study puts a measurement-based version of this important quantum logic gate within the reach of current experiments. As the graphs are setup-independent, they could be realized in a variety of systems, including linear optics and ion-traps.

description: Stars grow by accreting gas that has an evolving composition owing to the growth and inward drift of dust (pebble wave), the formation of planetesimals and planets, and the selective removal of hydrogen and helium by disk winds. We investigated how the formation of the Solar System may have affected the composition and structure of the Sun, and whether it plays any role in solving the solar abundance problem. We simulated the evolution of the Sun from the protostellar phase to the present age and attempted to reproduce spectroscopic and helioseismic constraints. We performed chi-squared tests to optimize our input parameters. We confirmed that, for realistic models, planet formation occurs when the solar convective zone is still massive; thus, the overall changes due to planet formation are too small to significantly improve the chi-square fits. We found that solar models with up-to-date abundances require an opacity increase of 12% to 18% centered at $T=10^{6.4}$ K to reproduce the available observational constraints. This is slightly higher than, but is qualitatively in good agreement with, recent measurements of higher iron opacities. These models result in better fits to the observations than those using old abundances; therefore, they are a promising solution to the solar abundance problem. Using these improved models, we found that planet formation processes leave a small imprint in the solar core, whose metallicity is enhanced by up to 5%. This result can be tested by accurately measuring the solar neutrino flux. In the improved models, the protosolar molecular cloud core is characterized by a primordial metallicity in the range 0.0127-0.0157 and a helium mass fraction in the range 0.268-0.274. (abridged)

description: Thermal soaring conditions above the sea have long been assumed absent or too weak for terrestrial migrating birds, forcing obligate soarers to take long detours and avoid sea crossing, and facultative soarers to cross exclusively by costly flapping flight. Thus, while atmospheric convection does develop at sea and used by some seabirds, it has been largely ignored in avian migration research. Here, we provide direct evidence for routine thermal soaring over open sea in the common crane, the heaviest facultative soarer known among terrestrial migrating birds. Using high-resolution biologging from 44 cranes tracked across their transcontinental migration over 4 years, we show that soaring performance was no different over sea than over land in mid-latitudes. Sea-soaring occurred predominantly in autumn when large water-air temperature difference followed mid-latitude cyclones. Our findings challenge a fundamental migration research paradigm and suggest that obligate soarers avoid sea crossing not due to the absence or weakness of thermals but due to their low frequency, for which they cannot compensate with prolonged flapping. Conversely, facultative soarers other than cranes should also be able to use thermals over the sea. Marine cold air outbreaks, imperative to global energy budget and climate, may also be important for bird migration.
Semimetalic graphene in a modulated electric potential

description: The $π$-electronic structure of graphene in the presence of a modulated electric potential is investigated by the tight-binding model. The low-energy electronic properties are strongly affected by the period and field strength. Such a field could modify the energy dispersions, destroy state degeneracy, and induce band-edge states. It should be noted that a modulated electric potential could make semiconducting graphene semimetallic, and that the onset period of such a transition relies on the field strength. There exist infinite Fermi-momentum states in sharply contrast with two crossing points (Dirac points) for graphene without external fields. The finite density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level means that there are free carriers, and, at the same time, the low DOS spectrum exhibits many prominent peaks, mainly owing to the band-edge states.

description: A point force acting on a Brinkman fluid in confinement is always counterbalanced by the force on the porous medium, the force on the walls and the stress at open boundaries. We discuss the distribution of those forces in different geometries: a long pipe, a medium with a single no-slip planar boundary, a porous sphere with an open boundary and a porous sphere with a no-slip wall. We determine the forces using the Lorentz reciprocal theorem and additionally validate the results with explicit analytical flow solutions. We discuss the relevance of our findings for cellular processes such as cytoplasmic streaming and centrosome positioning.

The pig as a biomedical model to study human protein calorie malnutrition
Creators: name: Thacker, Philip Alfred
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Two experiments were undertaken to evaluate the baby pig as a biomedical model with which to study Protein-Calorie malnutrition. In the first experiment, 32Yorkshire and Yorkshire X Landrace pigs weaned at 21 days were fed either an 18% or 4% protein ration. Blood samples were taken biweekly from the anterior vena cava and the serum samples analyzed for calcium, phosphorus, glucose, cholesterol, lactic dehydrogenase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, amylase, a 1ka1ine phosphatase, total protein, albumin and blood urea nitrogen. Significant (p ≤.01) treatment effects were observed for total protein, albumin, amylase, alkaline phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase, cholesterol, calcium and phosphorus. In the second experiment, 40 Yorkshire and Yorkshire X Landrace pigs weaned at 28 days were fed rations containing 18%, 10%, 8%, 6%, and 4% protein. Blood samples were again taken biweekly and serum samples were analyzed for the same parameters as in trial one. In addition, serum copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc were measured. The livers of any animals which died on the low protein diets, were fat extracted, and the level of fat compared to that obtained from livers of animals killed as suckling pigs at a slaughter plant. Total body water was determined on three animals on the 18% ration and three on the h% ration utilizing tritiated water as a tracer. Total protein, albumin, amylase, lactic dehydrogenase, calcium, phosphorus, copper, iron and magnesium correlated well with dietary protein intake. Significant treatment effects were observed for total body water and fat content of the liver. An attempt was made to find a biochemical parameter which might be used in diagnosing developing protein calorie malnutrition. The results of the study would indicate that serum phosphate and amylase are the most sensitive parameters to dietary protein intake. Not every lesion or biochemical serum change occurring in man was reproduced in the present study. Nevertheless, characteristic symptoms such as the development of fatty liver, growth retardation, abnormal hair texture, hypoalbuminemia, and apathy were reproduced in the protein deficient swine. The baby pig would therefore appear to be a good model for the study of protein-calorie malnutrition.

description: Ultrasound imaging is a commonly used technology for visualising patient anatomy in real-time during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. High operator dependency and low reproducibility make ultrasound imaging and interpretation challenging with a steep learning curve. Automatic image classification using deep learning has the potential to overcome some of these challenges by supporting ultrasound training in novices, as well as aiding ultrasound image interpretation in patient with complex pathology for more experienced practitioners. However, the use of deep learning methods requires a large amount of data in order to provide accurate results. Labelling large ultrasound datasets is a challenging task because labels are retrospectively assigned to 2D images without the 3D spatial context available in vivo or that would be inferred while visually tracking structures between frames during the procedure. In this work, we propose a multi-modal convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture that labels endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) images from raw verbal comments provided by a clinician during the procedure. We use a CNN composed of two branches, one for voice data and another for image data, which are joined to predict image labels from the spoken names of anatomical landmarks. The network was trained using recorded verbal comments from expert operators. Our results show a prediction accuracy of 76% at image level on a dataset with 5 different labels. We conclude that the addition of spoken commentaries can increase the performance of ultrasound image classification, and eliminate the burden of manually labelling large EUS datasets necessary for deep learning applications.

description: We report results of magneto-acoustic studies in the quantum spin-chain magnet NiCl$_2$-4SC(NH$_2$)$_2$ (DTN) having a field-induced ordered antiferromagnetic (AF) phase. In the vicinity of the quantum critical points (QCPs) the acoustic $c_{33}$ mode manifests a pronounced softening accompanied by energy dissipation of the sound wave. The acoustic anomalies are traced up to $T > T_N$, where the thermodynamic properties are determined by fermionic magnetic excitations, the "hallmark" of one-dimensional (1D) spin chains. On the other hand, as established in earlier studies, the AF phase in DTN is governed by bosonic magnetic excitations. Our results suggest the presence of a crossover from a 1D fermionic to a 3D bosonic character of the magnetic excitations in DTN in the vicinity of the QCPs.
