Scattering phases for meson and baryon resonances on general moving-frame lattices

A proposal by L\"uscher enables one to compute the scattering phases of elastic two-body systems from the energy levels of the lattice Hamiltonian in a finite volume. In this work we generalize the formalism to S--, P-- and D--wave meson and baryon resonances, and general total momenta. Employing nonvanishing momenta has several advantages, among them making a wider range of energy levels accessible on a single lattice volume and shifting the level crossing to smaller values of $m_\pi L$.Comment: 41 pages, 3 figures.

Glauber Critical Dynamics: Exact Solution of the Kinetic Gaussian Model

In this paper, we have exactly solved Glauber critical dynamics of the Gaussian model on three dimensions. Of course, it is much easy to apply to low dimensional case. The key steps are that we generalize the spin change mechanism from Glauber's single-spin flipping to single-spin transition and give a normalized version of the transition probability . We have also investigated the dynamical critical exponent and found surprisingly that the dynamical critical exponent is highly universal which refer to that for one- two- and three-dimensions they have same value independent of spatial dimensionality in contrast to static (equilibrium) critical exponents.Comment: 9 page

Comparação entre a imunidade induzida em bovinos vacinados com bacterinas polivalentes comerciais e uma monovalente experimental.

Resumo: O presente estudo avaliou a indução da produção de anticorpos contra Leptospira spp.por dez bacterinas,sendo nove polivalentes e uma monovalente experimental para a sorovariedade Hardjo amostra Norma. A concentração celular foi controlada e utilizou-se adjuvante de emulsão óleo em água. Um ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA) indireto foi desenvolvido utilizando-se conjugado anti-IgG total para mensurar os níveis de anticorpos da classe IgG conferido pelas bacterinas utilizando três amostras diferentes: Hardjoprajitino, Norma e Hardjobovis. Paralelamente foi utilizado também o Teste de Soroaglutinação Microscópica (SAM) para mensurar os níveis de anticorpos contra as mesmas amostras. Encontraram-se títulos variáveis entre as bacterinas de acordo com o teste ELISA. Os títulos no SAM foram de pouca intensidade e de curta duração indicando a necessidade de controle celular para uma posterior padronização destes produtos. Com base nos resultados encontrados no presente estudo, a bacterina monovalente foi a que apresentou melhor desempenho. Abstract: The study evaluated the induction of antibody production against ten bacterins, nine polyvalentand one experimental monovalent to serovar Hardjo strain Norma. An indirect enzyme linkedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed using anti-IgG conjugate to measure total levelsof IgG class antibodies conferred by bacterins using three different strains: Hardjoprajiitino,Norma and Hardjo-bovis. Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) was also used to measureimmunoglobulin levels of the same strains. Variable ELISA titers were induced by the testedbacterins. The MAT titers found showed lower intensity and shorter duration, indicating theneed to cellular control in further standardization of these vaccines. Based on results of thisstudy, the monovalent bacterin showed best performance

Replica Cluster Variational Method: the Replica Symmetric solution for the 2D random bond Ising model

We present and solve the Replica Symmetric equations in the context of the Replica Cluster Variational Method for the 2D random bond Ising model (including the 2D Edwards-Anderson spin glass model). First we solve a linearized version of these equations to obtain the phase diagrams of the model on the square and triangular lattices. In both cases the spin-glass transition temperatures and the tricritical point estimations improve largely over the Bethe predictions. Moreover, we show that this phase diagram is consistent with the behavior of inference algorithms on single instances of the problem. Finally, we present a method to consistently find approximate solutions to the equations in the glassy phase. The method is applied to the triangular lattice down to T=0, also in the presence of an external field.Comment: 22 pages, 11 figure

Fitofármaco, fitoterápico, plantas medicinais: o reducionismo e a complexidade na produção do conhecimento científico

Esse estudo tem por objetivo discutir como a forma de produção do conhecimento científico pode determinar a maneira do homem conhecer, lidar e apropriar-se da natureza, especificamente, em relação ao conhecimento associado ao estudo das plantas medicinais e seus derivados. Visando fornecer subsídios para a compreensão do que norteia os pesquisadores que buscam o entendimento sobre as plantas medicinais a partir de uma abordagem complexa, algumas questões de caráter epistemológico são formuladas e discutidas à luz dos referenciais teóricos construídos por Morin6 e Latour7

The power of interdependence: Linking health systems, communities, and health professions educational programs to better meet the needs of patients and populations

Promoting optimal health outcomes for diverse patients and populations requires the acknowledgement and strengthening of interdependent relationships between health professions education programs, health systems, and the communities they serve. Educational programs must recognize their role as integral components of a larger system. Educators must strive to break down silos and synergize efforts to foster a health care workforce positioned for collaborative, equitable, community-oriented practice. Sharing interprofessional and interinstitutional strategies can foster wide propagation of educational innovation while accommodating local contexts. This paper outlines how member schools of the American Medical Association Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium leveraged interdependence to accomplish transformative innovations catalyzed by systems thinking and a community of innovation

Zero temperature solutions of the Edwards-Anderson model in random Husimi Lattices

We solve the Edwards-Anderson model (EA) in different Husimi lattices. We show that, at T=0, the structure of the solution space depends on the parity of the loop sizes. Husimi lattices with odd loop sizes have always a trivial paramagnetic solution stable under 1RSB perturbations while, in Husimi lattices with even loop sizes, this solution is absent. The range of stability under 1RSB perturbations of this and other RS solutions is computed analytically (when possible) or numerically. We compute the free-energy, the complexity and the ground state energy of different Husimi lattices at the level of the 1RSB approximation. We also show, when the fraction of ferromagnetic couplings increases, the existence, first, of a discontinuous transition from a paramagnetic to a spin glass phase and latter of a continuous transition from a spin glass to a ferromagnetic phase.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures (v3: Corrected analysis of transitions.
