Visualisierung von meridianähnlichen Ausbreitungspfaden nach optischer Reizung im infraroten Spektralbereich – Vorläufige Ergebnisse
2006
Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe optischer Anregung durch indirekte Moxibustion im Infrarotbereich von 3,4 bis 5 m (3.400–5.000 nm) gelingt es, mit einer Infrarot-Kamera, die in diesem Bereich arbeitet, “Strukturen” sichtbar zu machen. Der Verlauf solcher Bahnen zeigt Ahnlichkeiten mit den bekannten Meridianen/Leitbahnen der chinesischen Medizin. Die relativ stabile Anregung erfolgt teilweise erst nach wiederholten Versuchen. Variationen der Relativposition der Moxazigarre, mit der die indirekte Moxibustion in einem KOrperabstand von einem bis mehreren Dezimetern durchgefuhrt wird, konnen lokale Verschiebungen dieser “meridianahnlichen Leitbahnen (MAL)” induzieren, deren Bahnen dann nur noch teilw…

On the observability of Bell's inequality violation in the two-atoms optical Stern-Gerlach model
2005
Using the optical Stern-Gerlach model, we have recently shown that the non-local correlations between the internal variables of two atoms that successively interact with the field of an ideal cavity in proximity of a nodal region are affected by the atomic translational dynamics. As a consequence, there can be some difficulties in observing violation of the Bell's inequality for the atomic internal variables. These difficulties persist even if the atoms travel an antinodal region, except when the spatial wave packets are exactly centered in an antinodal point.

On a differential system arising in the network control theory
2016
We investigate the three-dimensional dynamical system occurring in the network regulatory systems theory for specific choices of regulatory matrix { { 0, 1, 1 } { 1, 0, 1 } { 1, 1, 0 } } and sigmoidal regulatory function f(z) = 1 / (1 + e-μz), where z = ∑ Wij xj - θ. The description of attracting sets is provided. The attracting sets consist of respectively one, two or three critical points. This depends on whether the parameters (μ,θ) belong to a set Ω or to the complement of Ω or to the boundary of Ω, where Ω is fully defined set.
Black hole state degeneracy in Loop Quantum Gravity
2008
The combinatorial problem of counting the black hole quantum states within the Isolated Horizon framework in Loop Quantum Gravity is analyzed. A qualitative understanding of the origin of the band structure shown by the degeneracy spectrum, which is responsible for the black hole entropy quantization, is reached. Even when motivated by simple considerations, this picture allows to obtain analytical expressions for the most relevant quantities associated to this effect.
Neutrinoless double-beta decay and physics beyond the standard model
2012
Neutrinoless double beta decay is the most powerful tool to probe not only for Majorana neutrino masses but for lepton number violating physics in general. We discuss relations between lepton number violation, double beta decay and neutrino mass, review a general Lorentz invariant parametrization of the double beta decay rate, highlight a number of different new physics models showing how different mechanisms can trigger double beta decay, and finally discuss possibilities to discriminate and test these models and mechanisms in complementary experiments.
Estimation of bounds for left-right mixing from nuclear double beta decay processes
1993
Abstract Nuclear matrix elements, extracted from a systematic calculation of neutrinoless double beta decay rates for 0 + g.s →o + g.s transitions in 76 Ge, 82 Se, 128 Te, 130 Te and 136 Xe, have been used to compute bounds on the left-right mixing angle ζ of the weak currents. The parameters of the nuclear model have been fixed by calculating the corresponding two-neutrino double beta decay half lives. The present analysis favours a mixing of the order of |tanξ| −3 which is to be compared with those obtained in muon decay (|tan ξ | ⩽ 0.035) and in supernova (|tan ξ | ⩽ 10 −5 ) analysis. It shows that nuclear structure calculations yield estimates on ξ which complement the existing data.
The use of the integral-bias summing coincidence spectrometer in directional correlation measurements
1968
Abstract The performance of the integral-bias summing coincidence spectrometer (the sum-peak spetrometer) in measurements of directional correlations of gamma rays has been tested. As compared with the conventional method, the sum-peak spectrometer is easier to use and seems to yield results which agree with those obtained with the ordinary method. Because of the complex shapes of response functions of gamma rays above about 3 MeV, the new method is best suited to the study of cascading transitions below this energy, where the two methods appear to complement each other. The analysis of the sum-peak spectra in the present work is based on a simple graphical method which seems to yield satis…
Thrombotic risk in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria-like (PNH-like) phenotype
2020
The complement system is an essential component of the innate immune defence that, if overly activated, may damage organs and tissues. For this reason, there is a fine complement regulatory system. The complement modulation system includes two proteins with important regulatory activity, CD55 or decay accelerating factor (DAF) and CD59 or membrane inhibitor of reactive lysis (MIRL). The paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal and non-neoplastic disease characterized by intravascular haemolysis, occurrence of thrombosis and bone marrow failure. In clinical practice, in opposition to PNH, a variety of pathological conditions have been observed with an acquired and non-genetic de…
