SCINTILLA A European project for the development of scintillation detectors and new technologies for nuclear security
Europe monitors transits using radiation detectors to prevent illicit
trafficking of nuclear materials. The SCINTILLA project aims to develop a
toolbox of innovative technologies designed to address different usage cases.
This article will review the scope, approach, results of the first benchmark
campaign and future plans of the SCINTILLA project.Comment: To appear on the Proceedings of the 13th ICATPP Conference on

On the relation between the propagators of dual theories
In this paper, we show that the propagator of the dual of a general
Proca-like theory, derived from the gauging iterative Noether Dualization
Method, can be written by means of a simple relation between known propagators.
This result is also a demonstration that the Lagrangian obtained by dualization
describes the same physical particles as the ones present in the original
theory at the expense of introducing new non-physical (ghosts) excitations.Comment: latex, 4 page
Bosonization and Duality in Arbitrary Dimensions: New Results
A generic massive Thirring Model in three space-time dimensions exhibits a
correspondence with a topologically massive bosonized gauge action associated
to a self-duality constraint, and we write down a general expression for this
relationship.
We also generalize this structure to dimensions, by adopting the
so-called doublet approach, recently introduced. In particular, a non-
conventional formulation of the bosonization technique in higher dimensions (in
the spirit of ), is proposed and, as an application, we show how fermionic
(Thirring-like) representations for bosonic topologically massive models in
four dimensions may be built up.Comment: Revised version, to appear in Phys. Rev.
MinerĂa de textos: una herramienta Ăştil para mejorar la gestiĂłn del bibliotecario en el entorno digital
In the current stage of human development, the boom, assimilation and intensive use of knowledge has led to what we know as Knowledge Society, in which information management, documentation and knowledge are considered as vital strategic components. The horizons have been widened towards other jobs summoned to cooperate with information professionals: system designers, data providers, editors, salespersons, archivists, technicians, engineers and electronic text codification specialists, whose opinions and experiences make possible the localization, management, retrieval and use of digital information. New tools have been created to make easier the access to the great amount of knowledge generated daily. One of the most used is Text Mining, which allows the different organizations to explore a great number of texts that are not organized in data form, as well as to establish patterns and to extract useful knowledge

Incompressible viscous flow near the leading edge of a flat plate admitting slip
The shear stress at the leading edge, calculated on basis of the Navier-Stokes equations and the no-slip boundary condition, approaches infinity. However, taking into account the mean free path of the molecules, which implies admitting a certain slip, the shear stress becomes inversely proportional to the square root of the Knudsen number κ if κ→0. κ is defined as the ratio between the mean free path and the viscous length. The new boundary condition modifies the shear stress only within the Knudsen region of which the size is of the order of 3 to 4 times the mean free path.
Non-commutative Duality: High Spin Fields and Model with Hopf Term
We show that the non-commutative model coupled with Hopf term in 3
dimensions is equivalent to an interacting spin- theory where the spin
of the dual theory is related to the coefficient of the Hopf term. We use the
Seiberg-Witten map in studying this non-commutative duality equivalence,
keeping terms to order and show that the spin of the dual theory do
not get any dependant corrections. The map between current correlators
show that topological index of the solitons in the non-commutative model
is unaffected by where as the Noether charge of the corresponding dual
particle do get a dependence. We also show that this dual theory
smoothly goes to the limit giving dual theory in the commutative
plane.Comment: 13 pages, more references and a footnote are added. Version to appear
