A new perspective on GCRT J1745-3009
Two WSRT observations were performed and five archival VLA data were reduced
in order to redetect the enigmatic radio transient GCRT J1745-3009. The source
was not redetected. We were, however, able to extract important new information
from the discovery dataset. Our reanalysis excludes models that predict
symmetric bursts, but the transient white dwarf pulsar is favoured. Although we
now have more contraints on the properties of this source, we are still unsure
about its basic model.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
A Macromarketing Prescription for Covid-19: Solidarity and Care Ethics
Contextualized in the current pandemic, this essay discusses social marketing and public policy efforts from a āsocial solidarity and care ethicsā perspective. It presents a prototypical inclusivity-based approach for managing pandemics, with adaptive and maladaptive examples to show how the āsocial solidarity and care ethics nexusā can and should ātravelā within and between societal strata. It positions this perspective as a form of phronetic polysemic marketing, and thus considers the complexity of pandemic sociopsychology and stresses the need for practical wisdom
Ground State and Magnetization Process of the Mixture of Bond-Alternating and Uniform S=1/2 Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Chains
The mixture of bond-alternating and uniform S=1/2 antiferromagnetic
Heisenberg chains is investigated by the density matrix renormalization group
method. The ground state magnetization curve is calculated and the exchange
parameters are determined by fitting to the experimentally measured
magnetization curve of \CuClBr(-pic). The low
field behavior of the magnetization curve and low temperature behavior of the
magnetic susceptibility are found to be sensitive to whether the
bond-alternation pattern (parity) is fixed all over the sample or randomly
distributed. The both quantities are compatible with the numerical results for
the random parity model.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figures. Final and enlarged version accepted for
