On the integration of fields and quanta in time dependent backgrounds

Field theories with global continuous symmetries may admit configurations in which time translation invariance is broken by the movement of homogeneous background fields evolving along the flat directions implied by the symmetries. In this context, the field fluctuations along the broken symmetry are well parametrized by a Goldstone boson field that may non-trivially interact with other fields present in the theory. These interactions violate Lorentz invariance as a result of the broken time translation invariance of the background, producing a mixing between the field content and the particle spectrum of the theory. In this article we study the effects of such interactions on the low energy dynamics of the Goldstone boson quanta, paying special attention to the role of the particle spectrum of the theory. By studying the particular case of a canonical two-field model with a mexican-hat potential, we analyze the derivation of the low energy effective field theory for the Goldstone boson, and discuss in detail the distinction between integrating fields v/s integrating quanta, to finally conclude that they are equivalent. In addition, we discuss the implications of our analysis for the study of systems where time translation invariance is broken, such as cosmic inflation and time crystals.Comment: 38 pages, 1 figur

Dehumidification Water Quality Analysis of the South Texas Gulf of Mexico

This project is to introduce a new methodology for environmental research that analyzes humidity from a water treatment perspective. This is done by using a household dehumidifier, which extracts the excess humidity in a given space, to harvest the samples. The dehumidifier was used outside to act as an Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG), which is the process of extracting water from the atmosphere. When AWG is placed near shoreline, then it\u27s classified as a Desalinated Atmospheric Water Generator (DAWG) since it extracts distilled seawater water-vapors. The methodology for DAWG analyzed turbidity in the humidity on SPI, indicating to meet {\u3c.15} TCEQ turbidity water quality standard. The turbidity also showed to have an adverse relation to weather conditions. There is an open market in research on this topic, where the methodology for DAWG can offer answers. This project identifies DAWG as being a sustainable source of potable water for a municipality

Violencia sexual y de género y los mecanismos de protección jurídica en la legislación laboral chilena

The following article is a review of Chilean labor law that searches for legal answers to sexual and gender violence suffered by people in the workplace context. Firstly, the concepts of sexual and gender violence are analyzed. Then, the mechanisms that the national labor law gives to deal with the violations are analyzed, exposing that they have a repressive rather than a dissuasive dimension. With that in mind, the mandatory contents of the Order, Hygiene and Safety Internal Regulation, dismissal by severe grounds, indirect dismissal, the labor protection procedure and the complaints before the Labor Inspection are reviewed. Finally, the effectiveness of those mechanisms in preventing the occurrence of sexual or gender violence, in sanctioning them and in protecting the rights of the person who suffered such violations will be reviewed.El presente artículo es una revisión de la legislación laboral chilena en búsqueda de las respuestas legislativas que se otorgan a las situaciones de violencia sexual y de género sufridas por las personas en el contexto de la empresa. Para ello, se analizan en primer momento los conceptos de violencia sexual y de género, haciendo un repaso de aquello que implica cada uno de los mismos. Posteriormente, se analizan los mecanismos que la legislación nacional laboral otorga para hacer frente a tales vulneraciones, dando cuenta de que los mismos tienen una dimensión represiva y no disuasiva. Así las cosas, se revisa la aplicación de las obligaciones de contenido del Reglamento interno de orden, higiene y seguridad; el despido por causal grave; el despido indirecto; el procedimiento de tutela laboral; y la denuncia ante la inspección del trabajo. Finalmente, se revisa su utilidad para evitar la ocurrencia de situaciones de violencia sexual o de género, de sancionarlas y, en definitiva, el resguardo de los derechos de la persona que sufra tales vulneraciones

Synthesis of silicon- and germanium-rich phases at high-pressure conditions

The main focus of the present work was the Ge-rich part of the binary Ba – Ge system, in which by inspecting the behavior of the clathrate-I Ba8Ge43 under pressure, several new phases were found. The new phases in this system have the following compositions: BaGe3 (with two modifications), BaGe5, BaGe5.5 and BaGe6, therefore they are quite close in composition range: 75% - ~85% at. Ge. Concerning the conditions required for the synthesis of each phase, several combinations of temperature and pressure were employed in order to find a stability range. It was possible to establish such a formation range for all phases. In some cases two phases were found for a given conditions and in many other cases three or more phases were found to coexist. Thus, the stability range of pressure and temperature for single phase formation turned out to be very narrow. By inspecting of some structural features, for instance the interatomic distances, it is found that the average of the Ge – Ge distances change in line with the composition, i.e. the shorter contacts belong to BaGe6 while the longer distances are present in BaGe3 (both modification). An opposite trend is observed for the calculated density of each phase (neglecting the tI32 form of BaGe3): the lower density is found for BaGe3 and the denser compound is found to be BaGe6. Of course this is not coincidence, since due to the Ge content, BaGe6 has the largest molar mass. Similarly, by examining the density as a function of the interatomic distance. In such case, the denser compound is characterized by shorter Ge – Ge contacts, while the less dense phase holds the longest Ge – Ge contacts. This is in agreement with the building motifs within each crystal structure: columns in BaGe3 (open framework) passing through layers in BaGe5, ending in a three-dimensional network (closed framework) in BaGe6

Escaner laser: modelo 3D y orto imágenes arquitectónicas de la iglesia de Santa María del Mar en Barcelona

El objetivo del Proyecto de escaneo de la iglesia de Santa Maria 2006, fue la generación de planos en CAD 2D como orto-imágenes de la recogida del modelo de nube de puntos en 3D en un periodo de tres meses. Esta nube de puntos trabaja como base de datos para la preservación del monumento investigado. Un volumen de trabajo general para obtener alta calidad, se propone una alta resolución del plano de la orto-imagen basado en la posibilidad dada de la explotación de los datos de nubes de puntos de alta densidad. La generación de superficies trianguladas se evita debido a una significante reducción del tiempo de post procesamiento.The aim of the Scanning of Santa Maria del Mar Project 2006 was the generation of 2D CAD plans as orthoimages from the collected 3D pointcloud model in a three month period. This pointcloud model works as the data base for the preservation of the monument investigated. A general workflow for obtaining high quality, high resolution orthoimage plans is proposed based on the possibility given by data exploitation of high density pointclouds. Triangulated surfaces generation is avoided for significant time reduction in post processing.Peer Reviewe
