Vortex in a relativistic perfect isentropic fluid and Nambu Goto dynamics
By a weak deformation of the cylindrical symmetry of the potential vortex in
a relativistic perfect isentropic fluid, we study the possible dynamics of the
central line of this vortex. In "stiff" material the Nanbu-Goto equations are
obtainedComment: 11 pages, Accepted for publication in Physical Review

Cultural Connectedness as Personal Wellness in First Nations Youth
Adolescent development involves changes in self-concept and identification with different groups or cultural norms. Many First Nations adolescents have additional difficulties due to disconnections with family, schooling and cultural background, as a legacy of colonisation and social marginalisation. The present study used data from the First Nations Regional Longitudinal Health Survey, Youth, Phase 2 to test the hypothesis that connectedness to social and cultural factors would predict lower rates of reported depression in First Nations youth, using a logistic regression analysis. The findings indicated that connectedness to family and school, as well as having a sense of control over one\u27s life did predict wellness. However, spiritual balance, and the rating of local communities as having strengths in the areas of First Nations language use and availability of traditional, cultural events predicted greater instances of depression. These findings are discussed in relation to previous research, and recommendations for further investigation are made

The Origin of the Magellanic Stream
SHORTENED ABSTRACT: We present numerical investigations designed to
critically test models of the origin of the Magellanic Stream. The most
developed model is the tidal model which fails to reproduce several of its
characteristic properties. We suggest an alternative model for the origin of
the Stream which can explain all of its observed features and dynamics, as well
as provide a strong constraint on the distribution of gas within the halo of
the Milky Way. We propose that the Stream consists of material which was
ram-pressure stripped from the Magellanic System during its last passage
through an extended ionized disk of the Galaxy. This collision took place some
500 million years ago at a galacto-centric distance of about 65 kpc, and swept
\% of the least bound HI into the Stream. The gas with the lowest
column density lost the most orbital angular momentum, and is presently at the
tip of the Stream, having fallen to a distance of kpc from the Milky
Way attaining a negative velocity of 200 \kms. To prevent the stripped material
from leading the Magellanic Clouds and attaining too large an infall velocity,
we postulate the existence of an extended dilute halo of diffuse ionized gas
surrounding the Milky Way. If the halo gas is at the virial temperature of the
potential well of the Milky Way, its thermal emission would contribute
40\% of the observed diffuse background radiation in the 0.5-1.0 keV (M) band,
consistent with recent ROSAT measurements as well as pulsar dispersion
measures. Ram pressure strippingComment: 20 pages in TeX format. Please request hardcopy of plots, tables and
