Cluster Transformation Coefficients for Structure and Dynamics Calculations in n-Particle Systems: Atoms, Nuclei, and Quarks
The structure and dynamics of an n-particle system are described with coupled
nonlinear Heisenberg's commutator equations where the nonlinear terms are
generated by the two-body interaction that excites the reference vacuum via
particle-particle and particle-hole excitations. Nonperturbative solutions of
the system are obtained with the use of dynamic linearization approximation and
cluster transformation coefficients. The dynamic linearization approximation
converts the commutator chain into an eigenvalue problem. The cluster
coefficients factorize the matrix elements of the (n)-particles or
particle-hole systems in terms of the matrix elements of the (n-1)-systems
coupled to a particle-particle, particle-hole, and hole-hole boson. Group
properties of the particle-particle, particle-hole, and hole-hole permutation
groups simplify the calculation of these coefficients. The particle-particle
vacuum-excitations generate superconductive diagrams in the dynamics of
3-quarks systems. Applications of the model to fermionic and bosonic systems
are discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures, Wigner Proceedings for Conference Wigner

Microscopic Cluster Model for Exotic Nuclei
For a better understanding of the dynamics of exotic nuclei it is of crucial
importance to develop a practical microscopic theory easy to be applied to a
wide range of masses. Theoretically the basic task consists in formulating an
easy solvable theory able to reproduce structures and transitions of known
nuclei which should be then used to calculate the sparely known properties of
proton- or neutron-rich nuclei. In this paper we start by calculating energies
and distributions of A\leq4 nuclei withing a unitary correlation model
restricted to include only two-body correlations. The structure of complex
nuclei is then calculated extending the model to include correlation effects of
higher order.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures. Final Version to be published in "Progress of

Correlated EoM and Distributions for A=6 Nuclei
Energy spectra and electromagnetic transitions of nuclei are strongly
depending from the correlations of the bound nucleons. Two particle
correlations are responsible for the scattering of model particles either to
low momentum- or to high momentum-states. The low momentum states form the
model space while the high momentum states are used to calculate the G-matrix.
The three and higher order particle correlations do not play a role in the
latter calculation especially if the correlations induced by the scattering
operator are of sufficient short range. They modify however, via the long tail
of the nuclear potential, the Slater determinant of the A particles by
generating excited Slater's determinants. In this work the influence of the
correlations on the level structure and ground state distributions of even open
shell nuclei is analyzed via the boson dynamic correlation model BDCM. The
model is based on the unitary operator ({\it S} is the correlation
operator) formalism which in this paper is presented within a non perturbative
approximation. The low lying spectrum calculated for Li reproduce very well
the experimental spectrum while for He a charge radius slightly larger than
that obtained within the isotopic-shift (IS) theory has been calculated. Good
agreement between theoretical and experimental results has been obtained
without the introduction of a genuine three body force.Comment: 25 pages 4 figures. To be published in the Progress Theoretical

Extended Cluster Model for Light, and Medium Nuclei
The structures, the electromagnetic transitions, and the beta decay strengths
of exotic nuclei are investigated within an extended cluster model. We start by
deriving an effective nuclear Hamiltonian within the correlation
operator. Tensor forces are introduced in a perturbative expansion which
includes up to the second order terms. Within this Hamiltonian we calculate the
distributions and the radii of A=3,~4 nuclei. For exotic nuclei characterized
by n valence protons/neutrons we excite the structure of the closed shell
nuclei via mixed modes formed by considering correlations operators of higher
order. Good results have been obtained for the calculated transitions and for
the beta decay transition probabilities.Comment: 8-pages, 5-figure
Lyman-alpha radiation pressure: an analytical exploration
We study radiation pressure due to Ly α line photons, obtaining and exploring analytical expressions for the force-multiplier, MF(NH, Z) = Fα/(Lα/c), as a function of gas column density, NH, and metallicity, Z, for both dust-free and dusty media, employing a WKB approach for the latter case. Solutions for frequency offset emission to emulate non-static media moving with a bulk velocity v have also been obtained. We find that, in static media, Ly α pressure dominates over both photoionization and dust-mediated UV radiation pressure in a very wide parameter range (16 < log NH < 23;-4 < log [Z/Z⊙] < 0). For example, it overwhelms the other two forces by ∼;10 (300) times in standard (low-Z) star-forming clouds. Thus, in agreement with previous studies, we conclude that Ly α pressure plays a dominant role in the initial acceleration of the gas around luminous sources, and must be implemented in galaxy formation, evolution and outflow models and simulations
Transition energy and lifetime for the ground state hyperfine splitting of high Z lithiumlike ions
The ground state hyperfine splitting values and the transition probabilities
between the hyperfine structure components of high Z lithiumlike ions are
calculated in the range . The relativistic, nuclear, QED and
interelectronic interaction corrections are taken into account. It is found
that the Bohr-Weisskopf effect can be eliminated in a combination of the
hyperfine splitting values of the hydrogenlike and lithiumlike ions of an
isotope. This gives a possibility for testing the QED effects in a combination
of the strong electric and magnetic fields of the heavy nucleus. Using the
experimental result for the hyperfine splitting in ^{209}Bi^{82+}, the 2s
hyperfine splitting in ^{209}Bi^{80+} is calculated to be \Delta E=0.7969(2)
eV.Comment: The nuclear charge distribution correction \delta is corrected, 14

‘I will not share my partner’ : the ‘care of the self’ in an HIV prevention campaign
Abstract: This article presents a textual examination and reception analysis of an HIV/AIDS poster used by the University of KwaZulu-Natal students during 2006–09. It examines how discourses construct self-responsibility for sexual health among female students. Discourse analysis, language and visual strategies are applied to reveal gender stereotypes. The article argues that an alternative discourse of femininity is used centring on female power bordering on active participation through the use of the discursive self ‘I’ in order to promote self-surveillance and individual agency
