Scaled momentum distributions for K-S(0) and Λ /̄ Λ in DIS at HERA
Scaled momentum distributions for the strange hadrons K0S and Λ/Λ¯ were measured in deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 330 pb−1. The evolution of these distributions with the photon virtuality, Q 2, was studied in the kinematic region 10 < Q 2 < 40000 GeV2 and 0.001 < x < 0.75, where x is the Bjorken scaling variable. Clear scaling violations are observed. Predictions based on different approaches to fragmentation were compared to the measurements. Leading-logarithm parton-shower Monte Carlo calculations interfaced to the Lund string fragmentation model describe the data reasonably well in the whole range measured. Next-to-leading-order QCD calculations based on fragmentation functions, FFs, extracted from e + e − data alone, fail to describe the measurements. The calculations based on FFs extracted from a global analysis including e + e −, ep and pp data give an improved description. The measurements presented in this paper have the potential to further constrain the FFs of quarks, anti-quarks and gluons yielding K0S and Λ/Λ¯ strange hadrons
Measurement of dijet photoproduction for events with a leading neutron at HERA
Differential cross sections for dijet photoproduction and this process in
association with a leading neutron, e+ + p -> e+ + jet + jet + X (+ n), have
been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of
40 pb-1. The fraction of dijet events with a leading neutron was studied as a
function of different jet and event variables. Single- and double-differential
cross sections are presented as a function of the longitudinal fraction of the
proton momentum carried by the leading neutron, xL, and of its transverse
momentum squared, pT^2. The dijet data are compared to inclusive DIS and
photoproduction results; they are all consistent with a simple pion-exchange
model. The neutron yield as a function of xL was found to depend only on the
fraction of the proton beam energy going into the forward region, independent
of the hard process. No firm conclusion can be drawn on the presence of
rescattering effects.Comment: 40 pages, 18 figure
Contribution of variable viscosity between domains for the generation and propagation of turbulence
Este trabalho apresenta a comparação qualitativa e quantitativa de dois métodos para a resolução de modelos hidrodinâmicos, fluidodinâmica computacional (CFD) e soluções analíticas, para obter respostas da turbulência à jusante de corpos submersos. Devido a dificuldade de se prever respostas fiéis do comportamento turbulento, o objetivo principal é avaliar os efeitos da variação local da viscosidade cinemática entre os domínios presentes no sistema, sólido e fluido, na discretização das equações que regem o escoamento. Como estratégia de solução, os sólidos são considerados como pseudofluidos de fônons, a fim de justificar a reação no fluido provida desta variação da viscosidade. Pequenas alterações no equacionamento das soluções analíticas apresentaram modificações de resultados expressivas na resolução da turbulência devido ao gradiente gerado pela variação local da viscosidade cinemática.This paper presents a quantitative and qualitative comparison of two methods for solving hydrodynamic models; computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and analytical solutions in order to get answers on the turbulence of downstream submerged bodies. Due to the difficulty of predicting a faithfull turbulent behavior response the main objective is to evaluate the effects of local variation of kinematic viscosity between the domains present in the system, solid and fluid, on the discretization of the equations governing the flow. As a solution strategy, the solids are designed as pseudofluid of phonons in order to justify the reaction provided the atomic excitation generated in the fluid. Small changes in addressing the responses in the analytical results showed significant changes in resolution due to the gradient of the turbulence generated by the local variation of kinematic viscosity

Virtue ethics and social psychology
Virtue ethics has emerged as an alternative to deontological and utilitarian theory in recent moral philosophy. The basic notion of virtue ethics is to reassert the importance of virtuous character in ethical judgement in contrast to the emphasis on principles and consequences. Since questions of virtue have been largely neglected in modern moral theory, there has been a return to Aristotle’s account of virtue as character. This in turn has been questioned as the basis of virtue ethics and there has been a search for alternative accounts of moral agency. One aspect of this critical reflection on virtue ethics is an engagement with social psychology as a source of criticism of the Aristotelian conception of character and as a more plausible alternative foundation for a theory of moral character with contemporary relevance. This paper aims to introduce this area of moral theory to a psychological audience and reflect on the interpretation of social psychological theory and evidence in criticisms of virtuous character, focusing on the use of Milgram’s (1974) experiments on obedience to authority as an argument for situationism. A number of questions emerge concerning the interpretation and use of social psychological theory and evidence in debates within moral philosophy
Scaled momentum spectra in deep inelastic scattering at HERA
Charged particle production has been studied in neutral current deep inelastic ep scattering with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 0.44 fb(-1). Distributions of scaled momenta in the Breit frame are presented for particles in the current fragmentation region. The evolution of these spectra with the photon virtuality, Q(2), is described in the kinematic region 10 < Q(2) < 41000 Ge V-2. Next-to-leading-order and modified leading-log-approximation QCD calculations as well as predictions from Monte Carlo models are compared to the data. The results are also compared to e(+)e(-) annihilation data. The dependences of the pseudorapidity distribution of the particles on Q(2) and on the energy in the gamma p system, W, are presented and interpreted in the context of the hypothesis of limiting fragmentation
