Possible detection of the doubleβ+/electron-capture decay

1993

The two-neutrino double [beta] decay matrix elements of [sup 58]Ni, [sup 96]Ru, [sup 106]Cd, and [sup 136]Ce are calculated in the framework of the quasiparticle random phase approximation and the corresponding double [beta][sup +]/electron-capture (EC) decay ([beta][sup +][beta][sup +]/[beta][sup +]EC/ECEC) half-lives are estimated. The calculated ground-state-to-ground-state half-lives range from 3.9[times]10[sup 23] to 6.4[times]10[sup 19] yr indicating that the double [beta][sup +]/EC decay could, in principle, be detected using currently known experimental techniques.

Limited Usefulness of Capture Procedure and Capture Percentage for Evaluating Reproducibility in Psychological Science

2018

In psychological science, there is an increasing concern regarding the reproducibility of scientific findings. For instance, Replication Project: Psychology (Open Science Collaboration, 2015) found that the proportion of successful replication in psychology was 41%. This proportion was calculated based on Cumming and Maillardet’s (2006) widely employed capture procedure (CPro) and capture percentage (CPer). Despite the popularity of CPro and CPer, we believe that using them may lead to an incorrect conclusion of (a) successful replication when the population effect sizes in the original and replicated studies are different; and (b) unsuccessful replication when the population effect sizes i…

Analysis of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables by matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) and different gas chromatography element-selective det…

1995

A comparison between different element selective detectors for the determination of organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticide residues, from fruit and vegetables, was performed by capillary GC with electron capture detector (ECD), nitrogen phosphorus detector (NPD), flame photometric detector (FPD) in the sulphur and phosphorus modes, and mass spectrometry detector (MSD) in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Pesticides were extracted from the different foodstuffs by Matrix Solid Phase Dispersion (MSPD). Recoveries of 41–108 % with relative standard deviation of 2–14 % in the concentration range 0.5–10 μg L−1 were obtained in oranges, lemons, grapefruit, pears, plums, lettuces and tomat…

The reciprocal link between music and movement studied through music-induced movements

2014

Music and movement are inseparable. The movements that are spontaneously procuded when listening to music are thought to be related to the close relationship between the perceptual and motor system in listeners. This particular link is the main topic of this thesis. A first approach was focused on the impact of music-induced movements on music cognition. In two studies, we show that moving along to music neither enhances the retention of new musical pieces (Study 1) nor the retention of the contextual information related to their encoding (Study 2). These results suggest a shallow processing inherent to the expression of musical affordances required for the production of music-induced movem…

The use of sonification for physiotherapy in human movement tasks: A scoping review

2020

Objectives: This review aims to: (1) map the use of sonification in human movement tasks for physical therapy; (2) identify methods of data capture, tasks and its effects on human subjects; (3) suggest future research directions. News: Sonification can be described as a technique to translate data into sound. It has been used for human motion analysis tasks even if it is not part of most physical therapist's lexicon. Prospects and projects: Identify and analyze publications where sonification was used as an audio-feedback technique for physical therapy. Thirty-five papers were included, 13 randomized-control-trials. Thirteen papers reported an investigation on a specific dysfunction, while …

Value of the Axial-Vector Coupling Strength in β and ββ Decays : A Review

2017

In this review the quenching of the weak axial-vector coupling constant, $g_{\rm A}$, is discussed in nuclear $\beta$ and double-$\beta$ decays. On one hand, the nuclear-medium and nuclear many-body effects are separated, and on the other hand the quenching is discussed from the points of view of different many-body methods and different $\beta$-decay and double-$\beta$-decay processes. Both the historical background and the present status are reviewed and contrasted against each other. The theoretical considerations are tied to performed and planned measurements, and possible new measurements are urged, whenever relevant and doable. Relation of the quenching problem to the measurements of …

Double beta decays of 124Xe investigated in the QRPA framework

2013

The two-neutrino (2ν2β) and neutrinoless (0ν2β) double beta decays of 124Xe are investigated. Decays to the ground state, , and various 0+ and 2+ excited states in 124Te are considered. The corresponding nuclear matrix elements have been calculated by using the quasiparticle random-phase approximation combined with the multiple-commutator model. G-matrix-based effective nuclear interactions have been used in realistic single-particle model spaces. All possible channels, β+β+, β+EC, and ECEC, are discussed for both the 2ν2β and 0ν2β decays. The associated half-lives are computed, in particular the one corresponding to the resonant neutrinoless double electron capture transition to the 2790.4…

A Multimodal Fruition Model for Graphical Contents in Ancient Books

2016

One of the most common and efficient way to preserve ancient books is to digitize them, and make their content someway browsable. However, this process often does not take into account the fruition point of view. Exploiting the currently available technologies allows for new ways of content fruition, to attract more people and help them to better understand the available information. In this paper, we present a solution for an innovative and multimodal exploration of ancient books contents, using both touch and touchless gestures. This allows people for both near and far distance interaction, which results in different interaction models.

Understanding the Microfoundations of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: Toward a Value-Based Method and Theory

2023

Despite the progress made by scholars, empirically investigating entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) remains problematic because of the inherent complexities and nonlinearities of interactions among EE actors. The research to date has shown a tendency to focus on macrolevel ecosystem dynamics while neglecting the microfoundations of EEs. We contend that this negligence is due to a lack of appropriate methodologies that can capture EE microfoundations through a systemic value-based perspective. To fill this gap, in this article, we propose a novel methodological approach, the value system method, which enables framing EEs through critical causal interdependences between key actors’ business mod…
