description: Les friches industrielles représentent un stock de terrain important dans les pays post-industriels. Près des gares notamment, de nombreux sites industriels constitués au début du 20ème siècle ont progressivement vu leurs activités disparaître avec la vague de désindustrialisation amorcée dans les années 1960. Ces friches tendent à présenter deux caractéristiques : centralité et accessibilité en transports publics. Ces deux caractéristiques confèrent à ces friches une importance stratégique dans l’optique d’un développement de l’urbanisation à l’intérieur de la zone à bâtir et structurée par les transports publics. Ce type de développement urbain est largement considéré comme étant plus durable que l’étalement urbain qui caractérise les villes d’aujourd’hui. Cependant, de nombreux auteurs restent sceptiques sur les mérites d’une ville plus compacte. Ce travail de recherche s’intéresse donc au débat sur le lien entre forme urbaine et développement durable, et s’interroge sur les conditions auxquelles la densification du tissu urbain peut mener à plus de durabilité. L’étude de la reconversion de la friche industrielle du secteur Gare/Crêt-Taconnet à Neuchâtel permet de comprendre par quelles mesures architecturales et urbanistiques la reconversion des friches industrielles des secteurs de gare peut participer à cette densification qualifiée. Dans un deuxième temps, ce travail décrit les obstacles auxquels se heurte la réutilisation des friches, et cherche à comprendre comment les contourner dans l’optique de favoriser une reconversion plus systématique de ces terrains. L’exemple de la gestion mise en place à Crêt-Taconnet montre qu’il est possible de concrétiser des projets de reconversion malgré les contraintes inhérentes à ce type de terrain.

description: We have obtained two-dimensional velocity fields in the ionized gas of a set of 8 double-barred galaxies, at high spatial and spectral resolution, using their H$α$ emission fields measured with a scanning Fabry-Perot spectrometer. Using the technique by which phase reversals in the non-circular motion indicate a radius of corotation, taking advantage of the high angular and velocity resolution we have obtained the corotation radii and the pattern speeds of both the major bar and the small central bar in each of the galaxies; there are few such measurements in the literature. Our results show that the inner bar rotates more rapidly than the outer bar by a factor between 3.3 and 3.6.

description: BACKGROUND: Dental practitioners desire non-pharmacological methods to alleviate anxiety, fear, and pain in children receiving dental care; high-quality evidence, however, is required to evaluate methods' efficacy.
AIM: This study aimed to develop and validate an observation-based coding approach (paediatric dental pain, anxiety, and fear coding approach [PAFCA]) to evaluate non-pharmacological behavior management techniques for anxiety, fear, and pain.
DESIGN: Objective (video-based) and subjective (self-reported) anxiety, fear, and pain data were collected from a pilot clinical trial evaluating animal-assisted therapy (AAT) in paediatric dentistry, in which 37 children aged 7-14 were assigned to AAT or control before dental treatment (restorations or extractions). A coding approach utilizing a codebook, a gold standard calibration video, and a user training guide was developed. Trained examiners coded the gold standard video for inter-rater agreement, and masked, calibrated examiners analyzed videos using the Noldus Observer XT software.
RESULTS: A novel, software-based coding approach was developed, with moderately high inter-rater agreement. Using PAFCA, we found children reporting higher levels of pain, fear, and anxiety exhibited treatment-interfering behaviors, including crying/moaning, attempts to dislodge instruments, and more upper and lower body movements.
CONCLUSION: PAFCA shows promise as a reliable tool for assessing anxiety, pain, and fear in behavioral research for paediatric dentistry.
Solidarities in and through Resistance

description: The tea plantations of Dooars in West Bengal, India are among the primary tea growing belts in the country. The 2000s saw a crisis in the plantation sector with the closing down of some of the plantations and curtailed operation in others coupled with traditionally low wages in the sector. The paper uses this moment of crisis of livelihood to interrogate resistance and solidarity. Focussing on three protests — one organised by trade unions, another by social movement organisation and the third by the women workers of the plantation, the paper looks to understand the divergences and convergences between the three. How are intersectional alliances formed and what part of one’s identity is foregrounded in such alliances? Who owns protest movements? How does language of protests differ across these? How does the neo liberal state interact with such challenges to its authority? Social movement literature tends to focus on how professional activists create coalitions to strengthen movements. Through the ethnography of the three protests, this article suggests ways in which activists are also produced by movements. It asks can collective actions energized through affective bonds achieve ends which institutional social arrangements are constrained from striving for?

Connecting with the First or the Third World?:
Creators: name: Takata, Kei
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2020

description: This paper is a sociological and historical investigation of the transnational alliances in the Japanese sixties movement. From the mid-1960s to 1970s, some Japanese New Left movements had prevailed by taking part in transnational activism. Yet, these movements had then bifurcated into two directions; those that were linked primarily with the western First World on the one hand and movements that were connected to the Third World revolutionary movements on the other hand. This paper explores the reasons for such bridging and division of transnational ties. By looking specifically at the civic anti-Vietnam War movement of Beheiren and the clandestine movement of the Japanese Red Army, the paper argues that it was the culture that had both bridged and created holes between the network clusters. Through investigation of the culture (ideology, beliefs, taste, etc.) and biographical backgrounds (class consciousness, generation, and memory) of each group member, the paper suggests that the activists’ culture and imaginative linkage with the outside world was the crucial factor in bridging the structural hole between movements that were remotely apart and embedded in different national settings. Yet, it also shows that different cultural and biographical backgrounds of the members of these two movements had created a cultural hole between the transnational networks that they have developed. Thus, in general, the paper shows how the duality of culture — bridging and diverging aspects — operates in the process of transnational network building.

description: The classic Neotethyan Ankara Melange formed within the Triassic-Eocene İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan ocean (‘N Neotethys’), bordered in central Anatolia by the Kırşehir and Tauride-Anatolide continental units to the south and by the discontinuous Sakarya continent to the northwest. Farther north, the separate Intra-Pontide ocean probably remained partly open until the early Cenozoic. The Neotethyan Ankara Melange developed via phases of intra-oceanic accretion (mainly pre-Aptian), initial continental accretion (i.e. Coniacian (?)), arc magmatism (Upper Cretaceous) and continent-continent collision (Maastrichtian-Early Eocene). Variably dismembered ophiolitic rocks of Early-Middle Jurassic age within the Ankara Melange formed by supra-subduction zone (SSZ) spreading above a generally northward-dipping subduction zone. Volcanic-sedimentary lithologies of Triassic-Cretaceous age represent fragments of oceanic crust including variably sized oceanic seamounts. The oceanic volcanics and sediments accreted from the downgoing plate, whereas the ophiolites represent fragments of the overriding plate. The main driver of accretion in the Ankara area was collision of a large Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous oceanic seamount (probably plume related) and its capping carbonate platform, with Middle-Late Jurassic fore-arc oceanic lithosphere. Intra-oceanic arc and proximal-distal fore-arc basin units developed above the accretionary complex and within remnant Neotethyan ocean to the north during the Upper Cretaceous. After docking with the Sakarya continent, the Ankara Melange was transgressed by continental margin fore-arc and syn-collisional foreland basin sediments (Campanian-Early Eocene). Comparisons with Neotethyan melanges across Anatolia to the Caucasus indicate exceptional development in the type Ankara area.

description: In this article, we analyse the Mercosur Confederation of Family Farming Organisations (Coprofam), a transnational organisation of South American rural social movements and trade unions. Based on the dialogue mirrored in the literature on coalition formation, a contextual-spatial perspective and a pragmatist approach, we aim to understand the process of alliance building that led to the creation of Coprofam, as well as its sustainability and longevity. The paper highlights the importance of political context, previous social ties, political cultures and historical memories, debates about coalitional identity, as well as Coprofam’s actions to expand relations with other movements, organisations and regions, which have influenced Coprofam’s formation and development, through the decades. In terms of data and methods, the research is based on the analysis of documents, participant observation and interviews with Coprofam’s activists.

description: The Eastern Pontides in NE Turkey hosts a very limited number of plutonic rocks from the Jurassic period. Here we submit new geochemical, Sr-Nd-Pb and zircon Lu-Hf isotope data, and zircon U-Pb ages for plutonic rocks in this region. Zircon U-Pb dating for the Alemdar and Işıkdere plutons yielded an age of 175–170 Ma (Middle Jurassic). The Alemdar and Işıkdere plutons have I-type, medium to high-K calc-alkaline series, and metaluminous to slightly peraluminous characteristics. On PM-normalized diagrams, the plutons are enriched in large-ion lithophile elements (LILEs) with pronounced depletion of high field strength elements (HFSEs, Ta, Nb, Ti). Chondrite-normalized plots for the plutons show variable enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREEs) with depletion of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs). The rocks of the Alemdar Pluton have homogeneous ISr values (0.70585 to 0.70673), low εNd(i) values (−3.9 to −1.6), pozitif εHf(i) values (+3.3 to +9.1), and Hf single-stage model ages (563–712 Ma), whereas those of Işıkdere have high ISr values (0.70666 to 0.70673), low εNd(i) values (−3.9 to −3.8), εHf(i) values (−3.1 to +1.1), and Hf single-stage model ages (791–969 Ma). These values imply that they have different sources. These results suggest that the magma of the Alemdar was formed by the partial melting of a relatively depleted lithospheric mantle wedge interaction of the OIB-like melts, while those of Işıkdere have derived from the partial melting of an enriched mantle metasomatized by slab-derived sediments and then modified by fractional crystallization and crustal contamination in crustal magma chambers. Considering the available data, we conclude that the studied plutons were related to extensional tectonic events during the Middle Jurassic in response to the roll-back of the Paleotethys oceanic slab in the final stage of oceanic closure. These rocks are an example of the formation of deep subduction products following Early Jurassic subduction.

description: We investigate the chaoticity parameter $λ$ in two-pion interferometry in an expanding boson gas model. The degree of Bose-Einstein condensation of identical pions, density distributions, and Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) correlation functions are calculated for the expanding gas within the mean-field description with a harmonic oscillator potential. The results indicate that a sources with thousands of identical pions may exhibit a degree of Bose-Einstein condensation at the temperatures during the hadronic phase in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. This finite condensation may decrease the chaoticity parameter $λ$ in the two-pion interferometry measurements at low pion pair momenta, but influence only slightly the $λ$ value at high pion pair momentum.

description: Alliances between social movements constitute a vital part of understanding social movement mobilization. However, despite the advantages that come with cross movement mobilization, the construction and maintenance of alliances remains a fundamental challenge for activists and movements. This special issue aims to uncover and deepen our understanding of cross-movement mobilization in the global North and the global South. In this introduction we suggest to move beyond cross-movement mobilisation as relatively static cooperation between formally organised and bounded entities. Instead we need to observe cross-movement alliances as a succession of convergences around events and longer lineages of actions linked through multiple, intersecting, and non-linear processes and actions.

description: Searching for words in Sanskrit E-text is a problem that is accompanied by complexities introduced by features of Sanskrit such as euphonic conjunctions or sandhis. A word could occur in an E-text in a transformed form owing to the operation of rules of sandhi. Simple word search would not yield these transformed forms of the word. Further, there is no search engine in the literature that can comprehensively search for words in Sanskrit E-texts taking euphonic conjunctions into account. This work presents an optimal binary representational schema for letters of the Sanskrit alphabet along with algorithms to efficiently process the sandhi rules of Sanskrit grammar. The work further presents an algorithm that uses the sandhi processing algorithm to perform a comprehensive word search on E-text.

description: Reliable palaeoseismological data are crucial for understanding the rupture history and seismic hazard assessment of a specific seismogenic structure. Many large earthquakes occurred around the Ordos Block of northern China. However, due to insufficient age data and event interpretations, the rupture patterns of the block are still poorly known. This study focuses on the central section of the Serteng Shan fault that is situated at the north margin of the Ordos Block. We present palaeoseismic sequence of faults using trenches combined with dating methods, including optically stimulated luminescence and 14C dating. We collected eleven optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and seven radiocarbon samples to constrain the timing of palaeoseismic events in the excavated trench exposures along the fault strand. The results show that the studied samples were deposited since the latest Pleistocene, and the ages are, within uncertainty, in the stratigraphic order. The cause of the most recent surface rupture is still not clear. Four other older events, which occurred in 3.1–3.9 ka, 5.8−6.5 ka, 10.8–13.1 ka, and 14.2–16.5 ka, likely extended at different lengths along the Serteng Shan fault.
Simulations of prompt many-body ionization in a frozen Rydberg gas

description: The results of a theoretical investigation of prompt many-body ionization are reported. Our calculations address an experiment that reported ionization in Rydberg gases for densities two orders of magnitude less than expected from ionization between pairs of atoms. The authors argued that the results were due to the simultaneous interaction between many atoms. We performed classical calculations for many interacting Rydberg atoms with the ions fixed in space and have found that the many atom interaction does allow ionization at lower densities than estimates from two atom interactions. However, we found that the density fluctuations in a gas play a larger role. These two effects are an order of magnitude too small to account for the experimental results suggesting at least one other mechanism strongly affects ionization.
Feminism, Food Sovereignty and Cross-Movement Mobilisation Against Neoliberal Globalisation in Latin America:

Publisher: name: Moving the Social

description: Under conditions of neoliberal globalisation, feminisms have been increasingly engaged in cross-movement mobilisations with non-feminist others around common struggles. In this article, we document the emergence of cross-movement mobilisation in Latin America around a new political axis: that of food sovereignty, and its specifically feminist aspects and effects. Deploying Foucault-inspired genealogical studies anchored in the World March of Women (WMW), we situate the feminist embrace and resignification of the discourse of food sovereignty within two larger historic processes in Latin America since the 1990s: (1) re-orientations in Latin American popular feminism; and (2) intensifying cross-movement collaboration, and connect both to an emerging transnational counter-hegemonic project of the ‘global left’ in the region in which food sovereignty became a central plank with significant feminist content. Conceptualising food sovereignty as a discourse reveals it as a site of power/knowledge and resistance in ways that do not appear in conventional social movement approaches nor through activist auto-ethnographic accounts. Throughout, we argue for the value of a genealogical approach and consider its implications for the field of social movement studies, including for the concept of cross-movement mobilisation.

description: The chaotic behaviour of monthly rainfall data of Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and Togo between January 1901 and December 2015 were investigated using wavelet transformation analysis and time series techniques. Wavelet power spectrum was used to split the time series into different scales. Power concentrations between 8 and 16 months were observed for the selected locations. The embedding dimension, delay and largest Lyapunov exponent (LE) were calculated. We observed positive LE ranging from 0.13 to 0.36, indicating the rainfall was chaotic. Ghana had the highest values of LE, while the lowest LE was observed at Niger..

description: We investigate the relations between black hole thermodynamics and holographic transport coefficients in this paper. The formulae for DC conductivity and diffusion coefficient are verified for electrically single-charged black holes. We examine the correctness of the proposed expressions by taking charged dilatonic and single-charged STU black holes as two concrete examples, and compute the flows of conductivity and diffusion coefficient by solving the linear order perturbation equations. We then check the consistence by evaluating the Brown-York tensor at a finite radial position. Finally, we find that the retarded Green functions for the shear modes can be expressed easily in terms of black hole thermodynamic quantities and transport coefficients.

description: The World economic order witnessed dramatic changes Post World War II and India being a newly Independent Country was faced with more complex issues of illiteracy, poverty, malnutrition, sustainability and underdevelopment; and the prime focus of Government remained Development for Sustainability and Inclusive Growth. In order to combat poverty and to achieve uniform growth all over, various measures have been taken from time to time which include building and strengthening rural cooperative sector, nationalisation and privatization and expansion of financial sector. Easy Access to sources of finance is believed to be an important tool to poverty alleviation and inclusive growth.India as a country presents great diversity in its geography, history, and culture and population demography. This diversity makes it extremely difficult to suitably categorize the country on economic, political, religious or demographical grounds. Post-independence growth has led to overall development of the country as a whole but it has also divided it into two distinct segments thus providing a suitable basis of categorization in the form of Rural India and Urban India. As per the census of 2001 only 27.78% population of the country lives in the urban segment while the rest are still residing in the inherently characteristic Rural India. The things however have changed significantly since independence when around 82% of the population lived in the rural segment. The rural segment is distinct in respect of various features such as purchasing power, development, social system etc. These distinctions relate directly to the kind of distinct demand patterns that the rural sector has in various product segments especially when it comes to financial services. The sector presents a real challenge given its technological backwardness and mass illiteracy as people are still caught in ancient financial systems that were both exploitative and futile

description: Building footprint datasets are valuable for a variety of uses in urban settings. For a number of urban applications, polygonal building outlines with regularised bounds are required and are extremely challenging to prepare. We propose a deep learning strategy based on convolutional neural networks for retrieving building footprints. The model was trained using images from a variety of places across the metropolis, highlighting differences in land use patterns and the built environment. The evaluation measures indicate how the accuracy characteristics of distinct built-up settings differ. The results of the model are equivalent to cutting-edge building extraction methods.

Le travail a été divisé en sept phases majeures qui concernaient la synthèse de l’amphétamine, l’identification d’impuretés, l’optimisation de la préparation de l’échantillon et du système chromatographique, la variabilité des résultats, l’investigation de méthodes mathématiques pour la classification et la comparaison de profils et finalement l’application de la méthode à des réels échantillons illicites. La méthode résultant de ce travail n’a pas seulement montré que les données étaient interchangeables entre laboratoires mais aussi qu’elle était supérieure en de nombreux points aux méthodes préalablement publiées dans la littérature scientifique.
description: This Ph.D. thesis was carried out in parallel to an European project funded by the fourth framework programme of the European Commission (DG XII, Standards, Measurement and Testing). This project, named SMT-CT98-2277 was funded, for the Swiss part, by the Federal Office of Education and Science (OFES, Bern, Switzerland). The aim of the project was to develop a harmonised, collaboratively tested method for the impurity profiling of illicit amphetamine by capillary gas chromatography. The work was divided into seven main tasks which deal with the synthesis of amphetamine, identification of impurities, optimisation of sample preparation and of the chromatographic system, variability of the results, investigation of numerical methods for the classification and comparison of profiles and finally application of the methodology to real illicit samples. The resulting method has not only shown to produce interchangeable data between different laboratories but was also found to be superior in many aspects to previously published methods.

description: Twitter, as the most popular social media platform, has made a great revolution in producing real-time user-generated data. This research aims to propose a method to extract the latent spatial pattern from geotagged tweets. We take both spatial autocorrelation and spatial heterogeneity into account while revealing the underlying pattern from geotagged tweets. Moreover, the textual similarity is considered to extract spatial-textual clusters. The method was implemented and tested during hurricane Dorian on the east coast of the U.S. The results proved the superiority of the proposed method against Moran’s Index and VDBSCAN algorithms in extracting clusters with various densities.

description: We study numerically Majorana fermions (MFs) induced by a charged impurity in topological superconductors. It is revealed from the relevant Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations that (i) for quasi-one dimensional systems, a pair of MFs are bounded at the two sides of one charge impurity and well separated; and (ii) for a two dimensional square lattice, the charged-impurity-induced MFs are similar to the known pair of vortex-induced MFs, in which one MF is bounded by the impurity while the other appears at the boundary. Moreover, the corresponding local density of states is explored, demonstrating that the presence of MF states may be tested experimentally.

description: This book consists of an attempt to provide a holistic and contemporary approach to the phenomenon of corruption. More specifically, a theoretical approach to the phenomenon of corruption is being attempted as well as an illustration of the main approaches of the international literature regarding the research of the phenomenon of corruption. As corruption is a complex and often difficult to define phenomenon, the main definitions that have been used internationally, the causal factors, the consequences as well as the essential differences between perceived and real levels of corruption are being analyzed. In the next stage, the multifaceted measures to combat the phenomenon of corruption are examined. Particular importance is given to the – often ignored – relationship between organized crime – money laundering – international financial relations and corruption.
description: Το σύγγραμμα αποτελεί μία προσπάθεια ολιστικής προσέγγισης στο φαινόμενο της διαφθοράς. Πιο συγκεκριμένα επιχειρείται μία θεωρητική προσέγγιση στο φαινόμενο της διαφθοράς και απεικόνιση των κυριότερων προσεγγίσεων της διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας σχετικά με την έρευνα του φαινομένου της διαφθοράς. Καθώς αποτελεί ένα φαινόμενο σύνθετο και συχνά δύσκολο να οριστεί, αναλύονται οι κυριότεροι ορισμοί που έχουν χρησιμοποιηθεί διεθνώς, οι αιτιακοί παράγοντες, οι συνέπειες καθώς και οι ουσιώδεις = διαφορές μεταξύ αντιληπτών και πραγματικών επιπέδων διαφθοράς. Σε επόμενο στάδιο εξετάζονται τα πολύπλευρα μέτρα για την καταπολέμηση του φαινομένου της διαφθοράς. Ιδιαίτερη σημασία δίνεται στην – συχνά αγνοούμενη – σχέση μεταξύ του οργανωμένου εγκλήματος – της νομιμοποίησης εσόδων από παράνομες δραστηριότητες – των διεθνών οικονομικών σχέσεων και της διαφθοράς.

description: Prendendo spunto dall’emergenza Covid-19, Enzo Rullani propone una riflessione sui fini dell’impresa; li riconduce alla dialettica, continuamente ricorrente nelle fasi evolutive e nei paradigmi tecnico-produttivi del capitalismo moderno, tra progettualità innovativa e interessi dei soggetti da un lato e capacità regolatrice e stabilizzatrice dei sistemi dall'altro. Questa dialettica si ripropone oggi nell’ambito della transizione digitale e Rullani ne discute i possibili esiti.
Mechanics of large folds in thin interfacial films

description: A thin film at a liquid interface responds to uniaxial confinement by wrinkling and then by folding; its shape and energy have been computed exactly before self contact. Here, we address the mechanics of large folds, i.e. folds that absorb a length much larger than the wrinkle wavelength. With scaling arguments and numerical simulations, we show that the antisymmetric fold is energetically favorable and can absorb any excess length at zero pressure. Then, motivated by puzzles arising in the comparison of this simple model to experiments on lipid monolayers and capillary rafts, we discuss how to incorporate film weight, self-adhesion and energy dissipation.

description: This study estimates the surface soil moisture content in a case study situated in the Vietnamese Red River Delta, using the Landsat 8 satellite images. The trapezoidal relationship between land surface temperature and vegetation index was used to obtain soil wetness indexes. A split-window algorithm was developed to overcome the missing of atmospheric data. The method was validated with ground truth across different land covers. The RMSE between the calculated and measured SMC ranges between 0.556 and 0.971 and varies across different types of land covers. The method is important to monitor SMC across large areas with limited surveyed data.
The analysis of ecstasy tablets in a forensic drug intelligence perspective
Creators: name: Zingg, Christian

description: The use by police services and inquiring agencies of forensic data in an intelligence perspective is still fragmentary and to some extent ignored. In order to increase the efficiency of criminal investigation to target illegal drug trafficking organisations and to provide valuable information about their methods, it is necessary to include and interpret objective drug analysis results already during the investigation phase. The value of visual, physical and chemical data of seized ecstasy tablets, as a support for criminal investigation on a strategic and tactical level has been investigated. In a first phase different characteristics of ecstasy tablets have been studied in order to define their relevance, variation, correlation and discriminating power in an intelligence perspective. During 5 years, over 1200 cases of ecstasy seizures (concerning about 150000 seized tablets) coming from different regions of Switzerland (City and Canton of Zurich, Cantons Ticino, Neuchâtel and Geneva) have been systematically recorded. This turned out to be a statistically representative database including large and small cases. During the second phase various comparison and clustering methods have been tested and evaluated, on the type and relevance of tablet characteristics, thus increasing knowledge about synthetic drugs, their manufacturing and trafficking. Finally analytical methodologies have been investigated and formalised, applying traditional intelligence methods. In this context classical tools, which are used in criminal analysis (like the I2 Analyst Notebook, I2 Ibase, …) have been tested and adapted to address the specific need of forensic drug intelligence. The interpretation of these links provides valuable information about criminal organisations and their trafficking methods. In the final part of this thesis practical examples illustrate the use and value of such information.

description: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical education has the potential to facilitate complicated tasks and improve efficiency. For example, AI could help automate assessment of written responses, or provide feedback on medical image interpretations with excellent reliability. While applications of AI in learning, instruction, and assessment are growing, further exploration is still required. There exist few conceptual or methodological guides for medical educators wishing to evaluate or engage in AI research. In this guide, we aim to: 1) describe practical considerations involved in reading and conducting studies in medical education using AI, 2) define basic terminology and 3) identify which medical education problems and data are ideally-suited for using AI.

C metric: the equatorial plane and Fermi coordinates

description: We discuss geodesic motion in the vacuum C metric using Bondi-like spherical coordinates, with special attention to the role played by the "equatorial plane." We show that the spatial trajectory of photons on such a hypersurface is formally the same of photons on the equatorial plane of the Schwarzschild spacetime, apart from an energy shift involving the spacetime acceleration parameter. Furthermore, we show that photons starting their motion from this hypersurface with vanishing component of the momentum along $θ$, remain confined on it, differently from the case of massive particles. This effect is shown to have a counterpart also in the massless limit of the C metric, i.e. in Minkowski spacetime. Finally, we give the explict map between Bondi-like spherical coordinates and Fermi coordinates (up to the second order) for the world line of an observer at rest at a fixed spatial point of the equatorial plane of the C metric, a result which may be eventually useful to estimate both the mass and the acceleration parameter of accelerated sources.
