Bevlogen voor de klas
Wat zorgt ervoor dat een leraar plezier in het werk heeft en met
enthousiasme naar het werk gaat? Dit artikel gaat over de factoren
die er toe bijdragen dat een leraar bevlogen raakt, en welke gevolgen
dit kan hebben. Het begrip bevlogenheid wordt nader toegelicht,
en geplaatst in het JD-R model, een model dat de relatie tussen onder
andere bevlogenheid en prestaties beschrijft. Tenslotte wordt
uitgelegd welke rol bevlogenheid in het onderwijs heeft, en op
welke manier bevlogenheid bevorderd kan worden

Brain solute transport is more rapid in periarterial than perivenous spaces
Fluid flow in perivascular spaces is recognized as a key component underlying brain transport and clearance. An important open question is how and to what extent differences in vessel type or geometry affect perivascular fluid flow and transport. Using computational modelling in both idealized and image-based geometries, we study and compare fluid flow and solute transport in pial (surface) periarterial and perivenous spaces. Our findings demonstrate that differences in geometry between arterial and venous pial perivascular spaces (PVSs) lead to higher net CSF flow, more rapid tracer transport and earlier arrival times of injected tracers in periarterial spaces compared to perivenous spaces. These findings can explain the experimentally observed rapid appearance of tracers around arteries, and the delayed appearance around veins without the need of a circulation through the parenchyma, but rather by direct transport along the PVSs.publishedVersio
Electromagnetic structure and weak decay of meson K in a light-front QCD-inspired
The kaon electromagnetic (e.m.) form factor is reviewed considering a
light-front constituent quark model. In this approach, it is discussed the
relevance of the quark-antiquark pair terms for the full covariance of the e.m.
current. It is also verified, by considering a QCD dynamical model, that a good
agreement with experimental data can be obtained for the kaon weak decay
constant once a probability of about 80% of the valence component is taken into
account.Comment: 4 pages and 1 figure eps. To appear Nucl. Phys. A (2007
Long-range potential fluctuations and 1/f noise in hydrogenated amorphous silicon
We present a microscopic theory of the low-frequency voltage noise (known as
"1/f" noise) in micrometer-thick films of hydrogenated amorphous silicon. This
theory traces the noise back to the long-range fluctuations of the Coulomb
potential produced by deep defects, thereby predicting the absolute noise
intensity as a function of the distribution of defect activation energies. The
predictions of this theory are in very good agreement with our own experiments
in terms of both the absolute intensity and the temperature dependence of the
noise spectra.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, several new parts and one new figure are added,

Stability limits of n-nonane calculated from molecular dynamics interface simulations
Based on molecular dynamics simulation of the vapor-liquid interface the classical thermodynamic spinodal for n-nonane is estimated using an earlier developed method. The choice of n-nonane as investigated molecule originates from the question whether a deviation from the spherical symmetry of a molecule affects the prediction of the stability limit data. As a result we find that the estimated stability limit data for n-nonane are consistent within the experimental data available for the homologous series of the n-alkanes. It turns out that the slight alignment of the molecules parallel to the interface reported in the literature does not affect the method of transferring interface properties to the bulk phase stability limit
Towards a Relativistic Description of Exotic Meson Decays
This work analyses hadronic decays of exotic mesons, with a focus on the
lightest one, the , in a fully relativistic formalism,
and makes comparisons with non-relativistic results. We also discuss Coulomb
gauge decays of normal mesons that proceed through their hybrid components. The
relativistic spin wave functions of mesons and hybrids are constructed based on
unitary representations of the Lorentz group. The radial wave functions are
obtained from phenomenological considerations of the mass operator. Fully
relativistic results (with Wigner rotations) differ significantly from
non-relativistic ones. We also find that the decay channels are favored, in agreement with results obtained using
other models.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figure
The highly polarized open cluster Trumpler 27
We have carried out multicolor linear polarimetry (UBVRI) of the brightest
stars in the area of the open cluster Trumpler 27. Our data show a high level
of polarization in the stellar light with a considerable dispersion, from to . The polarization vectors of the cluster members appear to be
aligned. Foreground polarization was estimated from the data of some non-member
objects, for which two different components were resolved: the first one
associated with a dust cloud close to the Sun producing
and degrees, and a second component, the main source of
polarization for the cluster members, originated in another dust cloud, which
polarizes the light in the direction of degrees. From a detailed
analysis, we found that the two components have associated values for the first one, and for the other. Due the
difference in the orientation of both polarization vectors, almost 90 degrees
(180 degrees at the Stokes representation), the first cloud (
degrees) depolarize the light strongly polarized by the second one ( degrees).Comment: 12 Pages, 6 Figures, 2 tables (9 Pages), accepted for publication in

Effects of Uniaxial Stress on Antiferromagnetic Moment in the Heavy Electron Compound URu_2Si_2
We have performed the elastic neutron scattering experiments under uniaxial
stress \sigma along the tetragonal [100], [110] and [001] directions for
URu2Si2. For \sigma // [100] and [110], the antiferromagnetic moment \mu_o is
strongly enhanced from 0.02 \mu_B (\sigma=0) to 0.22 \mu_B (\sigma=2.5 kbar) at
1.5 K. The rate of increase d\mu_o/d\sigma is roughly estimated to be ~ 0.1
\mu_B/kbar, which is much larger than that for the hydrostatic pressure (~
0.025 \mu_B/kbar). Above 2.5 kbar, \mu_o shows a tendency to saturate similar
to the behavior in the hydrostatic pressure. For \sigma // [001], on the other
hand, \mu_o shows only a slight increase to 0.028 \mu_B (\sigma = 4.6 kbar)
with a rate of ~ 0.002 \mu_B/kbar. The observed anisotropy suggests that the
competition between the hidden order and the antiferromagnetic state in URu2Si2
is strongly coupled with the tetragonal four-fold symmetry and the c/a ratio,
or both.Comment: 3 pages, 3 eps figures, Proceedings of Int. Conf. on Strongly
