    Quantum point contact conductance in NINS junctions

    Full text link
    The effect of an insulating barrier located at a distance aa from a NS quantum point contact is analyzed in this work. The Bogoliubov de Gennes equations are solved for NINS junctions (S: anysotropic superconductor, I: insulator and N: normal metal), where the NIN region is a quantum wire. For a≠0% a\neq0, bound states and resonances in the differential conductance are predicted. These resonances depend on the symmetry of the pair potential, the strength of the insulating barrier and aa . Our results show that in a NINS quantum point contact the number of resonances vary with the symmetry of the order parameter. This is to be contrasted with the results for the NINS junction, in which only the position of the resonances changes with the symmetry.Comment: 5 pages, 5 Figures, RevTex

    During the last 17 years, since the adoption of the Palermo Protocol, authorities at international and national levels have investigated and prosecuted trafficking cases, and aided victims. Nevertheless, every day thousands of people around the world are sold, lured with false promises and exploited. In Mexico, 10,000 young girls and women are said to be trafficked into cities for sexual exploitation every year. Trafficked victims suffer a wide range of sexual exploitation, physical and psychological violence, human rights violations including their right to dignity, and cruel and inhumane treatment, creating vulnerability and isolation. To cope, many victims adopt harmful sexual and non-sexual behaviors, which we discuss in this paper. For this study, we gathered information from 70 trafficked victims in Monterrey, Mexico. We found that trafficked women and children are forced into high-risk sexual and non-sexual behaviors. Many of them use drugs, alcohol, and marijuana. Their sexual behaviors indicate that many victims are coerced into high-risk sexual practices including having multiple sexual partners

    Objectives: To establish the chronological sequence of the dental eruption in canines, carrying out various investigations in different studies that indicate, according to their analyzes, that there is a direct relationship with the factors that cause their eruption to be altered. Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out from October to December 2020, using the following search strategy in the database: Scielo, Repository, Medical journals, within which 22 articles related to the subject were considered, taking into account that 90% of the publications and bibliographic reviews were from 2010-2020. Results: In different studies a close relationship was found in the different factors that tend to cause the advance or delay in its appearance. That is why it is necessary to consider investigating the biological factors that can affect the development of the tooth bud. Conclusion: All the information that has been obtained in this investigation, we conclude that the order of eruption of the mentioned teeth, whether they are upper and lower canines, is affected and is influenced by components such as malnutrition, geographical environment, climate, race, factor environmental, sex and age.Objetivos: Establecer la secuencia cronología de la erupción dentaria en caninos, realizando diversas investigaciones en diferentes estudios que indican según sus análisis que existe relación directa con los factores que hacen que su erupción se vea alterada. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica a partir de octubre hasta diciembre del 2020, empleando la siguiente estrategia de búsqueda en la base de datos: Scielo, Repositorio, Revistas médicas dentro de los cuales se consideró 22 artículos relacionados con el tema, tomando en cuenta que el 90% de las publicaciones y revisiones bibliográficas fueron del 2010 – 2020. Resultados: En diferentes estudios se encontraron una estrecha relación en los diferentes factores que tienden a provocar el adelanto o retraso en su aparición. Es por ello que se necesita considerar investigar los factores biológicos que pueden afectar el desarrollo del brote de los dientes. Conclusión: Toda la información que se ha podido obtener en esta investigación, concluimos que el orden de erupción de los dientes mencionados, sean caninos superiores e inferiores se ve afectada e influyen los componentes como la desnutrición, el medio geográfico, el clima, la raza, factor ambiental, sexo y edad

    Shepherding nature: The environmental degradation

    Get PDF
    People frequently see nature as their own property, a resource from which riches can be derived, and a good whose sole purpose is to meet human wants. Nature ought to be protected by law, should not be considered private property, and no one should contest who owns it. The primary duty of humans, who are the crown of all things, is to protect and preserve Mother Nature. Despite its overwhelming breadth, which has been evident over the past few years, the issue of environmental degradation can be resolved with the support of the next generation. In order for them to live and profit from nature, today's youth and the next generation should promote preserving it. People today, children, and the upcoming generations should stand on the shoulders of their forefathers and work together. The environmental degradation that their ancestors faced and endured in the past may be experienced by future generations in a similar way if they continue to think like monkeys: greedily, fearfully, and in a domineering manner. To advance human civilization and successfully restore nature, people should work extremely hard. They have to change the animal mindset into an ethical one
