Shock-ionization in the Extended Emission-Line Region of 3C~305. The last piece of the (optical) puzzle
We present new Gemini spectroscopical data of the Extended Emission-Line
Region of 3C~305 radio galaxy in order to achieve the final answer of the
long-standing question about the ionizing mechanism. The spectra show strong
kinematic disturbances within the most intense line-emitting region. The
relative intensities amongst the emission lines agree with the gas being
shocked during the interaction of the powerful radio jets with the ambient
medium. The emission from the recombination region acts as a very effective
cooling mechanism, which is supported by the presence of a neutral outflow.
However, the observed intensity is almost an order of magnitude lower than
expected in a pure shock model. So auto-ionizing shock models, in low-density
and low-abundance regime, are required in order to account for the observed
emission within the region. This scenario also supports the hypothesis that the
optical emitting gas and the X-ray plasma are in pressure balance.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures. To be published in MNRA
An Approximation Problem in Multiplicatively Invariant Spaces
Let be Hilbert space and a -finite
measure space. Multiplicatively invariant (MI) spaces are closed subspaces of that are invariant under point-wise multiplication by
functions in a fix subset of Given a finite set of data
in this paper we prove the
existence and construct an MI space that best fits , in the
least squares sense. MI spaces are related to shift invariant (SI) spaces via a
fiberization map, which allows us to solve an approximation problem for SI
spaces in the context of locally compact abelian groups. On the other hand, we
introduce the notion of decomposable MI spaces (MI spaces that can be
decomposed into an orthogonal sum of MI subspaces) and solve the approximation
problem for the class of these spaces. Since SI spaces having extra invariance
are in one-to-one relation to decomposable MI spaces, we also solve our
approximation problem for this class of SI spaces. Finally we prove that
translation invariant spaces are in correspondence with totally decomposable MI
spaces.Comment: 18 pages, To appear in Contemporary Mathematic
Linear combinations of frame generators in systems of translates
A finitely generated shift invariant space is a closed subspace of
that is generated by the integer translates of a finite number of
functions. A set of frame generators for is a set of functions whose
integer translates form a frame for . In this note we give necessary and
sufficient conditions in order that a minimal set of frame generators can be
obtained by taking linear combinations of the given frame generators.
Surprisingly the results are very different to the recently studied case when
the property to be a frame is not required.Comment: 13 pages, To appear in J. Math. Anal. App
Velocity dispersion estimates of APM galaxy clusters
We present 83 new galaxy radial velocities in the field of 18 APM clusters
with redshifts between 0.06 and 0.13. The clusters have Abell identifications
and the galaxies were selected within 0.75 hMpc in projection from their
centers. We derive new cluster velocity dispersions for 13 clusters using our
data and published radial velocities.
We analyze correlations between cluster velocity dispersions and cluster
richness counts as defined in Abell and APM catalogs. The correlations show a
statistically significant trend although with a large scatter suggesting that
richness is a poor estimator of cluster mass irrespectively of cluster
selection criteria and richness definition. We find systematically lower
velocity dispersions in the sample of Abell clusters that do not fulfill APM
cluster selection criteria suggesting artificially higher Abell richness counts
due to contamination by projection effects in this subsample.Comment: Accepted for publication in MNRA
Construction of three new Gateway® expression plasmids for Trypanosoma cruzi
We present here three expression plasmids for Trypanosoma cruzi adapted to the Gateway® recombination cloning system. Two of these plasmids were designed to express trypanosomal proteins fused to a double tag for tandem affinity purification (TAPtag). The TAPtag and Gateway® cassette were introduced into an episomal (pTEX) and an integrative (pTREX) plasmid. Both plasmids were assayed by introducing green fluorescent protein (GFP) by recombination and the integrity of the double-tagged protein was determined by western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy. The third Gateway adapted vector assayed was the inducible pTcINDEX. When tested with GFP, pTcINDEX-GW showed a good response to tetracycline, being less leaky than its precursor (pTcINDEX).Fil: Alonso, Victoria Lucia.

Bosonic description of a Tomonaga-Luttinger model with impurities
We extend a recently proposed non-local version of Coleman's equivalence
between the Thirring and sine-Gordon models to the case in which the original
fermion fields interact with fixed impurities. We explain how our results can
be used in the context of one-dimensional strongly correlated systems (the so
called Tomonaga-Luttinger model) to study the dependence of the charge-density
oscillations on the range of the fermionic interactions.Comment: 8 pages, latex, no figures. Minor correction in eq. (6). Version to

Shift Invariant Spaces on LCA Groups
In this article we extend the theory of shift-invariant spaces to the context
of LCA groups. We introduce the notion of H-invariant space for a countable
discrete subgroup H of an LCA group G, and show that the concept of range
function and the techniques of fiberization are valid in this context. As a
consequence of this generalization we prove characterizations of frames and
Riesz bases of these spaces extending previous results, that were known for Rd
and the lattice Zd .Comment: 23 pages. Some small corrections were added. To appear in "Journal of

Youth Unemployment and Job Insecurity in Spain: Problems and Policy Options
Youth unemployment rates in Spain are considerably higher than the European average. Moreover, those young people who do have jobs generally work under extremely unstable conditions on temporary contracts. Most of these temporary contracts are "involuntary" - workers would prefer to find permanent jobs but are unable to do so. The consequences of this job insecurity in Spain are dramatic. Across the educational spectrum, young workers are at greater risk of remaining unemployed, getting stuck in temporary contracts for long periods of time, experiencing wage penalties, or being over-qualified for their jobs. The crisis has increased the overall risk of long-term poverty and social exclusion, particularly for youth with migrant backgrounds and those who are not in education, employment, or training. The paper concludes by outlining the three most urgent objectives for the Spanish labor market today: bridging the gap between education and work; developing active labor market policies; and reducing labor market segmentation between workers with temporary and permanent contracts and between "insiders" and "outsiders"
Shift-modulation invariant spaces on LCA groups
A shift-modulation invariant space is a subspace of ,
that is invariant by translations along elements in and modulations by
elements in . Here is a locally compact abelian group, and and
are closed subgroups of and the dual group ,
respectively. In this article we provide a characterization of shift-modulation
invariant spaces in this general context when and are uniform
lattices. This extends previous results known for . We develop
fiberization techniques and suitable range functions adapted to LCA groups
needed to provide the desired characterization.Comment: 17 page
