Power frequency interference and suppression in measurement of power transmission tower grounding resistance
āIf you want peace, work for justice.ā ā Pope Paul VI
This paper explores how the childrenās right to be heard is implemented in the criminal proceedings in Romania and Norway. The judicial practices in the two countries are analysed in relation to four elements identified in the literature as relevant to the childās right to be heard- space, voice, audience and influence. The two juvenile justice systems are then compared to each other, as well as to international best practices, with the final aim of identifying small-scale measures worth disseminating in Romania and Norway to strengthen the effectiveness of childās right to be heard. The paper argues that a more effective implementation of the childrenās right to be heard strengthen all the array of the childrenās rights, makes the juvenile justice system more child-friendly and facilitates the transition from conflict and punitive justice towards positive peace.

High-order harmonic generations in tilted Weyl semimetals
We investigate high-order harmonic generations (HHGs) under the comparison of
Weyl cones in two types. Due to the hyperboloidal electron pocket structure,
strong noncentrosymmetrical generations in high orders are observed around a
single type-II Weyl point, especially at frequency zero. Such remarkable DC
signal is proved to have attributions from the intraband transition after
spectral decomposition. Under weak pulse electric field , the linear optical
response of a non-tilted Weyl cone is consistent with the Kubo theory. With
more numerical simulations, we conclude the non-zero chemical potential can
enhance the even-order generations, from the slightly tilted system to the
over-tilted systems. In consideration of dynamical symmetries, type-I and -II
Weyl cones also show different selective responses under the circularly
polarized light. Finally, using a more realistic model containing two pairs of
Weyl points, we demonstrate the paired Weyl points with opposite chirality
could suppress the overall even-order generations
Weyl points and topological nodal superfluids in a face-centered cubic optical lattice
We point out that a face-centered cubic (FCC) optical lattice, which can be
realised by a simple scheme using three lasers, provides one a highly
controllable platform for creating Weyl points and topological nodal
superfluids in ultracold atoms. In non-interacting systems, Weyl points
automatically arise in the Floquet band structure when shaking such FCC
lattices, and sophisticated design of the tunnelling is not required. More
interestingly, in the presence of attractive interaction between two hyperfine
spin states, which experience the same shaken FCC lattice, a three-dimensional
topological nodal superfluid emerges, and Weyl points show up as the gapless
points in the quasiparticle spectrum. One could either create a double Weyl
point of charge 2, or split it to two Weyl points of charge 1, which can be
moved in the momentum space by tuning the interactions. Correspondingly, the
Fermi arcs at the surface may be linked with each other or separated as
individual ones.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures in the main text; 2 pages, 2 figures in the
