Commutative Partial O*-Algebras
2002
This chapter is devoted to the integrability of commutative partial O*-algebras. Three notions of weak commutativity, commutativity and strong commutativity of an O*-vector space are defined and investigated. In Section 3.1, we analyze the relation between the integrability of weakly commutative O*-vector space M and the commutativity of the von Neumann algebra (M w ′ )′. In Section 3.2, we study the integrable extensions of partial O*-algebras. In Section 3.3, we describe another explicit example, namely, the partial O*-algebra M[S, T] generated by two weakly commuting symmetric operators S and T defined on a common dense domain in a Hilbert space. In particular, we investigate in detail t…
Applications in Mathematical Physics
2009
It turns out that pip-space methods have many applications in physics, although they are seldom mentioned as such. To draw on a literary analogy, like Moliere’s Monsieur Jourdain speaking in prose without knowing so, many authors have been using pip-space language without realizing it. In particular, chains or lattices of Hilbert spaces are quite common in many fields of mathematical physics. Some of these applications will be discussed at length in this chapter. To mention a few examples: quantum mechanics, in particular singular interactions (Section 7.1.3), scattering theory (Section 7.2), quantum field theory (Section 7.3), representations of Lie groups (Section 7.4), etc.
Depth perception in tablet-based augmented reality at medium- and far-field distances
2013
Current augmented reality (AR) systems often fail to indicate the distance between the user and points of interest in the environment. Empirical evaluations of human depth perception in AR settings compared to real world settings are needed. Our goal in this study was to understand tablet-based AR depth perception by comparing it with real-world depth perception.
High yield neutron generator based on a high-current gasdynamic electron cyclotron resonance ion source
2015
In present paper, an approach for high yield compact D-D neutron generator based on a high current gasdynamic electron cyclotron resonance ion source is suggested. Results on dense pulsed deuteron beam production with current up to 500 mA and current density up to 750 mA/cm2 are demonstrated. Neutron yield from D2O and TiD2 targets was measured in case of its bombardment by pulsed 300 mA Dþ beam with 45 keV energy. Neutron yield density at target surface of 109 s 1 cm2 was detected with a system of two 3 He proportional counters. Estimations based on obtained experimental results show that neutron yield from a high quality TiD2 target bombarded by Dþ beam demonstrated in present work accele…
Does Finland Need Raciolinguistics?
2017
A growing number of applied linguists and language educators in the US/North American context advocate for and from a scholarly perspective which views language issues in relation to racial issues and vice versa. The emergent field of raciolinguistics highlights the relationships between language and race/racism and has brought about research that investigates their intersections. Should scholars in Finland adopt (and adapt) such an approach to scholarly work? Three Finland-based scholars explore this question in a question ("prompt") - response format.
Neotrinia gen. nov. and Pennatherum sect. nov.in Achnatherum (Poaceae: Stipeae)
2019
Stipa splendens (syn. Achnatherum splendens) has been transferred to Neotrinia (Tzvelev) M. Nobis, P. Gudkovaet A. Nowak gen. nov.as N. splendens (Trin.) M. Nobis, P. Gudkova et A. Nowak, based on a comparison of the macromorphology and lemma micromorphology of the Asian representatives of the tribe Stipeae. Lemma epidermal patterns in the examined species are presented and discussed. Additionally, a new section Pennatherum M. Nobis comprising Achnatherum pelliotii, a species recently transferred to Achnatherum from Ptilagrostis is also proposed. This taxon clearly differs from Ptilagrostis by the lemma micromorphology. The species with typical maize-like lemma micromorphological pattern is…
Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations of adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines with cardiometabolic risk
2022
This study aimed to examine 1) adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines over a 2-year follow-up in children aged 6-8 years and 2) association of this adherence with cardiometabolic risk factors. Physical activity and sleep were assessed by a monitor combining heart rate and accelerometry measurements. Screen time was reported by the parents. Body fat percentage, waist circumference, blood glucose, serum insulin, plasma lipids and blood pressure were assessed, and a cardiometabolic risk score was calculated using z-scores. Children were classified as meeting the guidelines if they had on average ≥60min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during the valid days; ≤120min/day of screen…
Self-reported reflective functioning mediates the association between attachment insecurity and well-being among psychotherapists.
2020
Objective: Subjective well-being is a crucial variable for mental health practitioners. This study examines the influence of therapists’ attachment dimensions and self-reported reflective functioning on their perceived well-being. Further, it examines if reflective functioning mediates the association between attachment insecurity and well-being. Method: A total of 416 experienced psychotherapists were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, and completed self-report measures of attachment insecurity, reflective functioning, and well-being. We tested the hypothesized mediation model with path analysis that examined indirect effects. Results: Both attachment anxiety and avoidance dimensions …
How important is the role of iterative liver direct surgery in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma for a transplant center located in an area with…
2022
IntroductionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for nearly 90% of primary liver cancers, with estimates of over 1 million people affected by 2025. We aimed to explore the impacting role of an iterative surgical treatment approach in a cohort of HCC patients within the Milan criteria, associated with clinical risk factors for tumor recurrence (RHCC) after liver transplant (LT) and loco-regional therapies (LRT), as well as liver resection (LR) and/or microwave thermal ablation (MWTA).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed our experience performed during an 8-year period between January 2013 and December 2021 in patients treated for HCC, focusing on describing the impact on preoperative end-st…
Evaluation of web reinforcements in prestressed concrete box girders through shear-transverse bending domains
2020
In concrete box girders, the amount and distribution of reinforcements in the webs have to be estimated considering the local effects due to eccentric external loads and cross-sectional distortion and not only the global effect due to the resultant forces of a longitudinal analysis: shear, torsion and bending. This work presents an analytical model that allows designers to take into account the interaction of all these effects, global and local, for the determination of the reinforcements. The model is based on the theory of stress fields and it has been compared to a 3D finite element analysis, in order to validate the interaction domains. The results show how the proposed analytical mode…
