Universal Predictions for Statistical Nuclear Correlations
We explore the behavior of collective nuclear excitations under a
multi-parameter deformation of the Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian matrix elements
have the form , with a
parametric correlation of the type . The studies are done in both the regular and chaotic regimes of the
Hamiltonian. Model independent predictions for a wide variety of correlation
functions and distributions which depend on wavefunctions and energies are
found from parametric random matrix theory and are compared to the nuclear
excitations. We find that our universal predictions are observed in the nuclear
states. Being a multi-parameter theory, we consider general paths in parameter
space and find that universality can be effected by the topology of the
parameter space. Specifically, Berry's phase can modify short distance
correlations, breaking certain universal predictions.Comment: Latex file + 12 postscript figure

A one-dimensional lattice model for a quantum mechanical free particle
Two types of particles, A and B with their corresponding antiparticles, are
defined in a one dimensional cyclic lattice with an odd number of sites. In
each step of time evolution, each particle acts as a source for the
polarization field of the other type of particle with nonlocal action but with
an effect decreasing with the distance: A -->...\bar{B} B \bar{B} B \bar{B} ...
; B --> A \bar{A} A \bar{A} A ... . It is shown that the combined distribution
of these particles obeys the time evolution of a free particle as given by
quantum mechanics.Comment: 8 pages. Revte
A COMPARISON OF THREE METHODS FOR MARKERS SELECTION IN UNTARGETED LIPIDOMICS
In the present paper is analyzed different algorithms for the marker’s selection of mass-spectrometry data in lipidomics. The goal of the investigation is to highlight the shortcomings and advantages of the processes and determine the most suitable.The research funding from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (Ural Federal University Program of Development within the Priority-2030 Program) is gratefully acknowledged
\b{eta}-delayed three-proton decay of 31Ar
The beta decay of 31Ar, produced by fragmentation of a 36Ar beam at 880
MeV/nucleon, was investigated. Identified ions of 31Ar were stopped in a
gaseous time projection chamber with optical readout allowing to record decay
events with emission of protons. In addition to \b{eta}-delayed emission of one
and two protons we have clearly observed the beta-delayed three-proton branch.
The branching ratio for this channel in 31Ar is found to be 0.07(2)%.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physical Rev.
alpha-particle production in the scattering of 6He by 208Pb at energies around the Coulomb barrier
New experimental data from the scattering of 6He+208Pb at energies around and
below the Coulomb barrier are presented. The yield of breakup products coming
from projectile fragmentation is dominated by a strong group of
particles.
The energy and angular distributions of this group have been analyzed and
compared with theoretical calculations. This analysis indicates that the
particles emitted at backward angles in this reaction are mainly due
to two-neutron transfer to weakly bound states of the final nucleus.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures. Nuclear Physics A792 (2007) 2-1

Social research on neglected diseases of poverty: Continuing and emerging themes
Copyright: © 2009 Manderson et al.Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) exist and persist for social and economic reasons that enable the vectors and pathogens to take advantage of changes in the behavioral and physical environment. Persistent poverty at household, community, and national levels, and inequalities within and between sectors, contribute to the perpetuation and re-emergence of NTDs. Changes in production and habitat affect the physical environment, so that agricultural development, mining and forestry, rapid industrialization, and urbanization all result in changes in human uses of the environment, exposure to vectors, and vulnerability to infection. Concurrently, political instability and lack of resources limit the capacity of governments to manage environments, control disease transmission, and ensure an effective health system. Social, cultural, economic, and political factors interact and influence government capacity and individual willingness to reduce the risks of infection and transmission, and to recognize and treat disease. Understanding the dynamic interaction of diverse factors in varying contexts is a complex task, yet critical for successful health promotion, disease prevention, and disease control. Many of the research techniques and tools needed for this purpose are available in the applied social sciences. In this article we use this term broadly, and so include behavioral, population and economic social sciences, social and cultural epidemiology, and the multiple disciplines of public health, health services, and health policy and planning. These latter fields, informed by foundational social science theory and methods, include health promotion, health communication, and heath education
