Two-Dimensional Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics: Two Fixed Centers of Force
The problem of building supersymmetry in the quantum mechanics of two
Coulombian centers of force is analyzed. It is shown that there are essentially
two ways of proceeding. The spectral problems of the SUSY (scalar) Hamiltonians
are quite similar and become tantamount to solving entangled families of Razavy
and Whittaker-Hill equations in the first approach. When the two centers have
the same strength, the Whittaker-Hill equations reduce to Mathieu equations. In
the second approach, the spectral problems are much more difficult to solve but
one can still find the zero-energy ground states.Comment: This is a contribution to the Proc. of the Seventh International

Staged Penetrating Sclerokeratoplasty and Penetrating Keratoplasty for Management of Advanced Acquired Anterior Staphyloma
Herein we describe a staged surgical technique consisting of penetrating sclerokeratoplasty (PSKP) followed by penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and present its clinical course and complications over two years of follow-up. A 23-year-old man presented with cosmetically unacceptable protrusion of the globe corresponding to the cornea and sclera. PSKP was performed transplanting a full-thickness beveled 13 mm corneoscleral tectonic graft. Hypotony developed subsequently and was successfully managed medically, however corneal graft failure occurred. After 15 months, a 7.5 mm PKP was performed for optical reasons, which subsequently remained clear with a healthy epithelium. In this particular case, cosmetic, tectonic, therapeutic, and optical requirements were met. PSKP is a surgical procedure which entails a high rate of complications but may be the only alternative when the main goal of intervention is restoration of the globe in complicated cases such as our patient
Tren de palabras - La escritura de Fernando del Paso
Tren de palabras. La escritura de Fernando del Paso recoge seis ensayos y una entrevista a cargo de cuatro estudiosos de la obra delpasiana; el sello es alumbrar nuevas perspectivas, encarar las omisiones y acrecentar el diálogo, bien argumentado, que abone a una comprensión mejor de esta abrumadora y desbordante literatura, ínsula en sí misma.Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, UAEM
Factorization of supersymmetric Hamiltonians in curvilinear coordinates
Planar supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems with separable spectral
problem in curvilinear coordinates are analyzed in full generality. We
explicitly construct the supersymmetric extension of the Euler/Pauli
Hamiltonian describing the motion of a light particle in the field of two heavy
fixed Coulombian centers. We shall also show how the SUSY Kepler/Coulomb
problem arises in two different limits of this problem: either, the two centers
collapse in one center - a problem separable in polar coordinates -, or, one of
the two centers flies to infinity - to meet the Coulomb problem separable in
parabolic coordinates.Comment: 13 pages. Based on the talk presented by M.A. Gonzalez Leon at the

Reactivity of C3S and model cement in presence of Na2S2O3 and NaSCN
The impact of NaSCN and Na2S2O3 on the reactivity, microstructure and morphology of C3S and
model cement (with a clinker containing 85% C3S and 15% C3A) pastes was systematically investigated.
Results concluded that both alkali salts mainly act enhancing the reactivity of the C3S phase while not
significant influence on the reactivity of C3A was measured. While both admixtures rose the reactivity of
C3S over the studied 7 days of hydration, they only increased the reactivity of model cement pastes up to
14–20 h. NaSCN and Na2S2O3 did not modify the C–S–H stoichiometry but they influenced its morphology.
In particular, thicker convergent C–S–H needles were formed in pastes containing Na2S2O3 compared
to non-admixed systems, while a higher number of thinner C–S–H needles were formed in presence of
NaSCN. Furthermore, greater portlandite clusters and intermixing of AFm and C–S–H were observed in admixed C3S and model cement pastes, respectively, compared to plain systems.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUECSIC
