    Anomalous buoyancy of quantum bubbles in immiscible Bose mixtures

    No full text
    Buoyancy is a well-known effect in immiscible binary Bose-Einstein condensates. Depending on the differential confinement experienced by the two components, a bubble of one component sitting at the center of the other eventually floats to the surface, around which it spreads either totally or partially. We discuss how quantum fluctuations may significantly change the volume and position of immiscible bubbles. We consider the particular case of two miscible components, forming a pseudo-scalar bubble condensate with enhanced quantum fluctuations (quantum bubble), immersed in a bath provided by a third component, with which they are immiscible. We show that in such a peculiar effective binary mixture, quantum fluctuations change the equilibrium of pressures that define the bubble volume and modify as well the criterion for buoyancy. Once buoyancy sets in, in contrast to the mean-field case, quantum fluctuations may place the bubble at an intermediate position between the center and the surface. At the surface, the quantum bubble may transition into a floating self-bound droplet.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

    Handwritten 20-page manuscript by Daniel Lessmann. Also included are a typed transcript and an explanatory letter by H.G. Reissner.Daniel Lessmann wrote this play for his student Adolf Herz and his siblings Emmy, Toni, Luise, Jette, Emanuel, and Betty, the children of the banker Leopold Edler von Herz, in whose house in Vienna Lessmann lived from the fall of 1817 to the spring of 1820. The entire action takes place in Herz’s house, where the children and Lessmann himself appear, as does Ignaz v. Neuwall , who belongs to one of nine ennobled Jewish families residing in Vienna at that time.Born in Soldin, Neumark (today Myślibórz, Poland) on January 18, 1794, Lessmann was an author who took part in the German national uprising against Napoleonic rule. He committed suicide in Wittenberg on September 1, 1831.The original German-language inventory is available in the folde

    Exploring Tangible and Intangible Landscapes of Evocative Places: Case Study of the City of Vitória in Brazil

    No full text
    This paper explores tangible and intangible characteristics of places. It concentrates on gathering characteristics, emotions, memories and stories related to self-selected evocative places in a city. Evocative places are defined as places that evoke images, memories or emotions. There are two goals identified for this article. The first goal is to study which words citizens use to describe the main characteristics of their self-selected evocative places. The second goal is to map emotions associated with the self-selected evocative places. The case study selected in this research is the city of Vitória in Brazil. We collected 192 evocative places and their characteristics with the help of an online mapping platform that links an online questionnaire with an interactive map. This paper summarizes the main results gathered empirically about evocative places in Vitória, their characteristics and the emotions felt at these places. These places are then mapped in a geographic information system (GIS) in order to understand their locations and concentrations. On the basis of this empirical work in Vitória , and the work accomplished in the cities of Hamburg (Germany), Vienna (Austria), Ames and Grinnell (both Iowa, USA), we also designed and expanded the conceptual model of evocative places presented in this paper for the first time. The conceptual model includes four main categories with which an evocative place can be described including its physical characteristics, experiences, senses and values. We conclude the article with a discussion and further research directions.Accepted Author ManuscriptHeritage & Value

    Movement Disturbances in the Differential Diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

    Movement disturbances are common in dementia disorders and are a central feature of the clinical classification criteria of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Polymorphism at codon 129 of the prion protein gene is known to determine the clinical picture of CJD. The frequency and characteristics of movement disturbances in other dementing disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), is barely known and leads to misdiagnoses. We investigated the occurrence and characteristics of movement disturbances in 143 patients neuropathologically confirmed with CJD (n = 100), AD (n = 29), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) (n = 7), or other diagnoses (n = 7). All patients had been referred with the differential diagnosis of prion disease. Ataxia and dysmetria were significantly more frequent in CJD than in AD or DLB patients, whereas hypokinesia was up to five times more frequent in AD or DLB (P < 0.05). Using an ordered logistic regression to identify constellations of movement disturbances, the diagnosis of CJD was likely in patients presenting ataxia but not hypokinesia. The reverse situation was statistically associated with AD. Ataxia and cogwheel rigidity were associated with valine-homozygosity and akinesia with methionine-homozygosity in the CJD patients. Our results indicate that the careful assessment of movement disturbances may be helpful in the differential diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. (C) 2008 Movement Disorder Societ

    An Introduction to Ignaz Edler von Born and His Article Concerning the Mysteries of the Egyptians

    No full text
    Although well known during his own lifetime as a scientist, author, and promoter of Enlightenment ideals, Ignaz Edler von Born also made a significant impact in his less public life as a Freemason. In 1784 he was both Meister vom Stuhl of the Masonic Lodge Zur wahren Eintracht and editor in chief of the Journal fur Freymaurer, published quarterly for just three years by Christian Friedrich Wappler in Vienna. In its very first issue, Born, under the initials I.v.B.M.v.St., Ignaz von Born, Meister vom Stuhl, contributed an article important to the Freemasons titled Ueber die Mysterien der Aegyptier: In the subsequent volumes, he made further contributions, including articles on the mysteries of the ancient Hebrews, the mysteries of the ancient inhabitants of India, and others. Nonetheless, his article on Egyptian mysteries remained his most influential article in the journal. Since his lifelong ambition to found an academy of science would not be realized during his life, he promoted scientific research and encouraged the publication of the results in his journal

    Treatment of patients with atypical meningiomas Simpson grade 4 and 5 with a carbon ion boost in combination with postoperative photon radiotherapy: The MARCIE Trial

    No full text
    Abstract Background Treatment standard for patients with atypical or anaplastic meningioma is neurosurgical resection. With this approach, local control ranges between 50% and 70%, depending on resection status. A series or smaller studies has shown that postoperative radiotherapy in this patient population can increase progression-free survival, which translates into increased overall survival. However, meningiomas are known to be radioresistant tumors, and radiation doses of 60 Gy or higher have been shown to be necessary for tumor control. Carbon ions offer physical and biological characteristics. Due to their inverted dose profile and the high local dose deposition within the Bragg peak precise dose application and sparing of normal tissue is possible. Moreover, in comparison to photons, carbon ions offer an increased relative biological effectiveness (RBE), which can be calculated between 2 and 5 depending on the cell line as well as the endpoint analyzed. First data obtained within the Phase I/II trial performed at GSI in Darmstadt on carbon ion radiotherapy for patients with high-risk meningiomas has shown safety, and treatment results are promising. Methods/design The Phase II-MARCIE-Study will evaluate a carbon ion boost applied to the macroscopic tumor in conjunction with photon radiotherapy in patients with atypical menigiomas after incomplete resection or biopsy. Primary endpoint is progression-free survival, secondary endpoints are overall survival, safety and toxicity. Discussion Based on published data on the treatment of atypical meningiomas with carbon ions at GSI, the present study will evaluate this treatment concept in a larger patient population and will compare outcome to current standard photon treatment.
