One-Parameter Homothetic Motion in the Hyperbolic Plane and Euler-Savary Formula
In \cite{Mul} one-parameter planar motion was first introduced and the
relations between absolute, relative, sliding velocities (and accelerations) in
the Euclidean plane were obtained. Moreover, the relations
between the Complex velocities one-parameter motion in the Complex plane were
provided by \cite{Mul}. One-parameter planar homothetic motion was defined in
the Complex plane, \cite{Kur}. In this paper, analogous to homothetic motion in
the Complex plane given by \cite{Kur}, one-parameter planar homothetic motion
is defined in the Hyperbolic plane. Some characteristic properties about the
velocity vectors, the acceleration vectors and the pole curves are given.
Moreover, in the case of homothetic scale identically equal to 1, the
results given in \cite{Yuc} are obtained as a special case. In addition, three
hyperbolic planes, of which two are moving and the other one is fixed, are
taken into consideration and a canonical relative system for one-parameter
planar hyperbolic homothetic motion is defined. Euler-Savary formula, which
gives the relationship between the curvatures of trajectory curves, is obtained
with the help of this relative system
An outflow in the Seyfert ESO 362-G18 revealed by Gemini-GMOS/IFU observations
Indexación: Scopus.We present two-dimensional stellar and gaseous kinematics of the inner 0.7 × 1.2 kpc2 of the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy ESO 362-G18, derived from optical (4092-7338 Å) spectra obtained with the GMOS integral field spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope at a spatial resolution of ≈ 170 pc and spectral resolution of 36 km s-1. ESO 362-G18 is a strongly perturbed galaxy of morphological type Sa or S0/a, with a minor merger approaching along the NE direction. Previous studies have shown that the [O III] emission shows a fan-shaped extension of ≈ 10′′ to the SE. We detect the [O III] doublet, [N II] and Hα emission lines throughout our field of view. The stellar kinematics is dominated by circular motions in the galaxy plane, with a kinematic position angle of ≈ 137° and is centred approximately on the continuum peak. The gas kinematics is also dominated by rotation, with kinematic position angles ranging from 122° to 139°, projected velocity amplitudes of the order of 100 km s-1, and a mean velocity dispersion of 100 km s-1. A double-Gaussian fit to the [O III]λ5007 and Hα lines, which have the highest signal to noise ratios of the emission lines, reveal two kinematic components: (1) a component at lower radial velocities which we interpret as gas rotating in the galactic disk; and (2) a component with line of sight velocities 100-250 km s-1 higher than the systemic velocity, interpreted as originating in the outflowing gas within the AGN ionization cone. We estimate a mass outflow rate of 7.4 × 10-2 M⊙ yr-1 in the SE ionization cone (this rate doubles if we assume a biconical configuration), and a mass accretion rate on the supermassive black hole (SMBH) of 2.2 × 10-2 M⊙ yr-1. The total ionized gas mass within ∼84 pc of the nucleus is 3.3 × 105 M⊙; infall velocities of ∼34 km s-1 in this gas would be required to feed both the outflow and SMBH accretion. © ESO 2018.https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/abs/2018/06/aa31671-17/aa31671-17.htm
The Hubbard Model at Infinite Dimensions: Thermodynamic and Transport Properties
We present results on thermodynamic quantities, resistivity and optical
conductivity for the Hubbard model on a simple hypercubic lattice in infinite
dimensions. Our results for the paramagnetic phase display the features
expected from an intuitive analysis of the one-particle spectra and
substantiate the similarity of the physics of the Hubbard model to those of
heavy fermion systems. The calculations were performed using an approximate
solution to the single-impurity Anderson model, which is the key quantity
entering the solution of the Hubbard model in this limit. To establish the
quality of this approximation we compare its results, together with those
obtained from two other widely used methods, to essentially exact quantum Monte
Carlo results.Comment: 29 pages, 16 figure
Magnetic and Dynamic Properties of the Hubbard Model in Infinite Dimensions
An essentially exact solution of the infinite dimensional Hubbard model is
made possible by using a self-consistent mapping of the Hubbard model in this
limit to an effective single impurity Anderson model. Solving the latter with
quantum Monte Carlo procedures enables us to obtain exact results for the one
and two-particle properties of the infinite dimensional Hubbard model. In
particular we find antiferromagnetism and a pseudogap in the single-particle
density of states for sufficiently large values of the intrasite Coulomb
interaction at half filling. Both the antiferromagnetic phase and the
insulating phase above the N\'eel temperature are found to be quickly
suppressed on doping. The latter is replaced by a heavy electron metal with a
quasiparticle mass strongly dependent on doping as soon as . At half
filling the antiferromagnetic phase boundary agrees surprisingly well in shape
and order of magnitude with results for the three dimensional Hubbard model.Comment: 32 page
The Liquid-Gas Phase Transitions in a Multicomponent Nuclear System with Coulomb and Surface Effects
The liquid-gas phase transition is studied in a multi-component nuclear
system using a local Skyrme interaction with Coulomb and surface effects. Some
features are qualitatively the same as the results of Muller and Serot which
uses relativistic mean field without Coulomb and surface effects. Surface
tension brings the coexistance binodal surface to lower pressure. The Coulomb
interaction makes the binodal surface smaller and cause another pair of binodal
points at low pressure and large proton fraction with less protons in liquid
phase and more protons in gas phase.Comment: 20 pages including 7 postscript figure
Neutral H density at the termination shock: a consolidation of recent results
We discuss a consolidation of determinations of the density of neutral
interstellar H at the nose of the termination shock carried out with the use of
various data sets, techniques, and modeling approaches. In particular, we focus
on the determination of this density based on observations of H pickup ions on
Ulysses during its aphelion passage through the ecliptic plane. We discuss in
greater detail a novel method of determination of the density from these
measurements and review the results from its application to actual data. The H
density at TS derived from this analysis is equal to 0.087 \pm 0.022 cm-3, and
when all relevant determinations are taken into account, the consolidated
density is obtained at 0.09 \pm 0.022 cm-3. The density of H in CHISM based on
literature values of filtration factor is then calculated at 0.16 \pm 0.04
cm-3.Comment: Submitted to Space Science Review
Enhanced recovery after surgery: are we ready, and can we afford not to implement these pathways for patients undergoing radical cystectomy?
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for radical cystectomy seems logical, but our study has shown a paucity in the level of clinical evidence. As part of the ERAS Society, we welcome global collaboration to collect evidence that will improve patient outcomes
Sum rules and dualities for generalized parton distributions: is there a holographic principle?
To leading order approximation, the physical content of generalized parton
distributions (GPDs) that is accessible in deep virtual electroproduction of
photons or mesons is contained in their value on the cross-over trajectory.
This trajectory separates the t-channel and s-channel dominated GPD regions.
The underlying Lorentz covariance implies correspondence between these two
regions through their relation to GPDs on the cross-over trajectory. This point
of view leads to a family of GPD sum rules which are a quark analogue of finite
energy sum rules and it guides us to a new phenomenological GPD concept. As an
example, we discuss the constraints from the JLab/Hall A data on the dominant
u-quark GPD H. The question arises whether GPDs are governed by some kind of
holographic principle.Comment: 45 pages, 4 figures, Sect. 2 reorganized for clarity. Typos in Eq.

Decreased body mass index in the preclinical stage of autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease
The relationship between body-mass index (BMI) and Alzheimer´s disease (AD) has been extensively investigated. However, BMI alterations in preclinical individuals with autosomal dominant AD (ADAD) have not yet been investigated. We analyzed cross-sectional data from 230 asymptomatic members of families with ADAD participating in the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN) study including 120 preclinical mutation carriers (MCs) and 110 asymptomatic non-carriers (NCs). Differences in BMI and their relation with cerebral amyloid load and episodic memory as a function of estimated years to symptom onset (EYO) were analyzed. Preclinical MCs showed significantly lower BMIs compared to NCs, starting 11.2 years before expected symptom onset. However, the BMI curves begun to diverge already at 17.8 years before expected symptom onset. Lower BMI in preclinical MCs was significantly associated with less years before estimated symptom onset, higher global Aβ brain burden, and with lower delayed total recall scores in the logical memory test. The study provides cross-sectional evidence that weight loss starts one to two decades before expected symptom onset of ADAD. Our findings point toward a link between the pathophysiology of ADAD and disturbance of weight control mechanisms. Longitudinal follow-up studies are warranted to investigate BMI changes over time
