Spin Axioms in Relativistic Continuum Physics
The 24 components of the relativistic spin tensor consist of 3+3 basic spin
fields and 9+9 constitutive fields. Empirically only 3 basic spin fields and 9
constitutive fields are known. This empirem can be expressed by two spin
axioms, one of them identifying 3 spin fields, and the other one 9 constitutive
fields to each other. This identification by the spin axioms is
material-independent and does not mix basic spin fields with constitutive
properties. The approaches to the Weyssenhoff fluid and the Dirac-electron
fluid found in literature are discussed with regard to these spin axioms. The
conjecture is formulated, that another reduction from 6 to 3 basic spin fields
which does not obey the spin axioms introduces special material properties by
not allowed mixing of constitutive and basic fields.Comment: 15 pages, dirac-electron example has been rewritte
Complete genome sequence of a novel avian polyomavirus isolated from Gouldian finch: Complete genome sequence of a novel avian polyomavirus isolatedfrom Gouldian finch
A novel polyomavirus was identified in a fatally diseased Gouldian finch (Erythrura gouldiae). The new polyomavirus, strain VL 1209, was detected using a broad-spectrum nested PCR
Enhanced antiviral function of magnesium chloride-modified Heparin on a broad spectrum of viruses
Previous studies reported on the broad-spectrum antiviral function of heparin. Here we investigated the antiviral function of magnesium-modified heparin and found that modified heparin displayed a significantly enhanced antiviral function against human adenovirus (HAdV) in immortalized and primary cells. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses revealed a conformational change of heparin when complexed with magnesium. To broadly explore this discovery, we tested the antiviral function of modified heparin against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and found that the replication of HSV-1 was even further decreased compared to aciclovir. Moreover, we investigated the antiviral effect against the new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and measured a 55-fold decreased viral load in the supernatant of infected cells associated with a 38-fold decrease in virus growth. The advantage of our modified heparin is an increased antiviral effect compared to regular heparin

Observation of geometric phases in quantum erasers
We introduce a simple experiment involving a double-slit interferometer by
which one can learn basic concepts of quantum interference such as which-path
marking, quantum erasers, and geometric phases. Each of them exhibits seemingly
mysterious phenomena in quantum physics. In our experiment, we use the
double-slit interference of visible light with the polarization as an internal
state to demonstrate the disappearance of fringes by which-path marking,
recovery of interference using quantum erasers, and the rapid shifting of the
fringe pattern induced by the geometric phase. We also present a simple
theoretical analysis of an interferometer with an internal state.Comment: 7 pages, 14 figure

Coherent and Squeezed States: Introductory Review of Basic Notions, Properties, and Generalizations
A short review of the main properties of coherent and squeezed states is
given in introductory form. The efforts are addressed to clarify concepts and
notions, including some passages of the history of science, with the aim of
facilitating the subject for nonspecialists. In this sense, the present work is
intended to be complementary to other papers of the same nature and subject in
current circulation.Comment: 50 pages, misprints corrected, some new references included. To
