Form Factors from a Relativistic Dynamical Model of Pion Electroproduction
We obtain the electromagnetic form factors of the transition
by analyzing recent pion-electroproduction data using a fully relativistic
dynamical model. Special care is taken to satisfy Ward-Takahashi identities for
the Born term in the presence of form factors thereby allowing the use of
realistic electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon and pion. We parametrize
the dependence of the {\it bare} form factors by a
three-parameter form which is consistent with the asymptotic behavior inferred
from QCD. The parameters of the bare form factors are the
only free parameters of the model and are fitted to the differential
cross-section and multipole-analysis data up to (GeV/c) in the
-resonance region. This analysis emphasizes the significance of
the pion-cloud effects in the extraction of the resonance parameters.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, several small corrections, to be published in

Different Methods for the Two-Nucleon T-Matrix in the Operator Form
We compare three methods to calculate the nucleon-nucleon t-matrix based on
the three-dimensional formulation of J. Golak et al., Phys. Rev. C 81, 034006,
(2010). In the first place we solve a system of complex linear inhomogeneous
equations directly for the t-matrix. Our second method is based on iterations
and a variant of the Lanczos algorithm. In the third case we obtain the
t-matrix in two steps, solving a system of real linear equations for the
k-matrix expansion coefficients and then solving an on-shell equation, which
connects the scalar coefficients of the k- and t-matrices. A very good
agreement among the three methods is demonstrated for selected nucleon-nucleon
scattering observables using a chiral next-to-next-to-leading-order
neutron-proton potential. We also apply our three-dimensional framework to the
demanding problem of proton-proton scattering, using a corresponding version of
the nucleon-nucleon potential and supplementing it with the (screened) Coulomb
force, taken also in the three-dimensional form. We show converged results for
two different screening functions and find a very good agreement with other
methods dealing with proton-proton scattering.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures (54 eps files
Pseudovector vs. pseudoscalar coupling in one-boson exchange NN potentials
We examine the effects of pseudoscalar and pseudovector coupling of the pi
and eta mesons in one-boson exchange models of the NN interaction using two
approaches: time-ordered perturbation theory unitarized with the relativistic
Lippmann-Schwinger equation, and a reduced Bethe-Salpeter equation approach
using the Thompson equation. Contact terms in the one-boson exchange amplitudes
in time-ordered perturbation theory lead naturally to the introduction of
s-channel nucleonic cutoffs for the interaction, which strongly suppresses the
far off-shell behavior of the amplitudes in both approaches. Differences
between the resulting NN predictions of the various models are found to be
small, and particularly so when coupling constants of the other mesons are
readjusted within reasonable limits.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figure
The role of temporary accommodation buildings for post-disaster housing reconstruction
The number of houses damaged or destroyed after disasters is frequently large, and re-housing of homeless people is one of the most important tasks of reconstruction programmes. Reconstruction works often last long and during that time, it is essential to provide victims with the minimum conditions to live with dignity, privacy, and protection. This research intends to demonstrate the crucial role of temporary accommodation buildings to provide spaces where people can live and gradually resume their life until they have a permanent house. The study also aims to identify the main problems of temporary accommodation strategies and to discuss some principles and guidelines in order to reach better design solutions. It is found that temporary accommodation is an issue that goes beyond the simple provision of buildings, since the whole space for temporary settlement is important. Likewise, temporary accommodation is a process that should start before a disaster occurs, as a preventive pre-planning. In spite of being temporary constructions, these housing buildings are one of the most important elements to provide in emergency scenarios, contributing for better recovery and reconstruction actions.The first author gratefully acknowledges the financial support of Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia, FCT, through grant SFRH/BD/73853/2010
A Covariant model for the nucleon and the
The covariant spectator formalism is used to model the nucleon and the
(1232) as a system of three constituent quarks with their own
electromagnetic structure. The definition of the ``fixed-axis'' polarization
states for the diquark emitted from the initial state vertex and absorbed into
the final state vertex is discussed. The helicity sum over those states is
evaluated and seen to be covariant. Using this approach, all four
electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon, together with the {\it magnetic}
form factor, , for the transition, can be
described using manifestly covariant nucleon and wave functions with
{\it zero} orbital angular momentum , but a successful description of
near requires the addition of a pion cloud term not included in
the class of valence quark models considered here. We also show that the pure
-wave model gives electric, , and coulomb, , transition form
factors that are identically zero, showing that these form factors are
sensitive to wave function components with .Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures, 2 table

Environmental justice and conceptions of the green economy
Green economy has become one of the most fashionable terms in global environmental public policy discussions and forums. Despite this popularity, and its being selected as one of the organizing themes of the United Nations Rio+20 Conference in Brazil, June 2012, its prospects as an effective mobilization tool for global environmental sustainability scholarship and practice remains unclear. A major reason for this is that much like its precursor concepts such as environmental sustainability and sustainable development, green economy is a woolly concept which lends itself to many interpretations. Hence, rather than resolve long-standing controversies, green economy merely reinvigorates existing debates over the visions, actors and policies best suited to secure a more sustainable future for all. In this review article, we aim to fill an important gap in scholarship by suggesting various ways in which green economy may be organized and synthesized as a concept, and especially in terms of its relationship with the idea of social and environmental justice. Accordingly, we offer a systemization of possible interpretations of green economy mapped onto a synthesis of existing typologies of environmental justice. This classification provides the context for future analysis of which, and how, various notions of green economy link with various conceptions of justice
