Defining the semiclassical limit of the quantum Rabi Hamiltonian
No full textThe crossover from quantum to semiclassical behavior in the seminal Rabi
model of light-matter interaction still, surprisingly, lacks a complete and
rigorous understanding. A formalism for deriving the semiclassical model
directly from the quantum Hamiltonian is developed here. Working in a displaced
Fock-state basis , the semiclassical limit is
obtained by taking and the coupling to zero.
This resolves the discrepancy between coherent-state dynamics and semiclassical
Rabi oscillations in both standard and ultrastrong coupling/driving regimes.
Furthermore, it provides a framework for studying the quantum-to-classical
transition, with potential applications in quantum technologies.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure; 7 pages Supplemental Material; v3: change of

An optimized scheme for detecting magneto-optic effects in ultrathin films with Sagnac interferometry
No full text© 2022 Author(s).Sagnac interferometry is advantageous in measuring time-reversal-symmetry breaking effects in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials as it suppresses time-reversal symmetric birefringent effects that are ubiquitous and often overwhelming in optical detection systems. When its sensitivity is limited only by the amplifier noise in the photo-detector, one needs to optimize the optical power that returns to the detector. We demonstrate an experimental scheme that maximizes the returning optical power in a Sagnac interferometry when detecting the magneto-optic effect in ultrathin films. In this scheme, the optical beam bearing the Faraday effect on a thin film is reflected at a second surface coated with a highly reflective gold film. The gold film increases the returned optical power by a factor of 4-5. For a normal-incidence Sagnac interferometer, this scheme yields an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio by the same factor. For an oblique-incidence Sagnac interferometer, this scheme should yield an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of 20-25. For illustration, this scheme is used to measure magnetization curves and Kerr rotation images of 4.5-unit-cell thick SrRuO3(001) grown on SrTiO3(001).11Nsciescopu
Determinants of Employee retirement Intentions Decisions In Private Sector In Kenya: A Survey Of Employees Of Finlay (K) Limited.
No full textRetirement refers to the time when an employee reaches the end of his working life. Retirement is regarded as important stage in human development all over the world. Retirement is an inevitable activity in the lives of workers. Factors influencing employee retirement decision studied individual predictors of early retirement are age, financial status and health. For example among older people, those in more favorable financial situation and those in ill health were found to aim for early retirement. Specific objectives; To identify work factors that influence employee’s decision to retire early, To find out work factors that influence employees to postpone retirement and To find out stage in their employment life that such intentions develop. Financial issues- retirement brings many changes to both income and expenditure to the employer. The researcher was use case study research design as it gives a clear representation of the variable under study, The target population was be subdivided into three status namely: top management, departmental heads and employees. The data used in the study was obtained from questionnaires that were distributed to the respondents from a sample selected randomly. The purpose of the research study was to assess factors influencing employees’ retirement decision, a case study of James Finlay (K) Ltd. From the findings of the study, it shows that there is a great importance of recognizing the various stages in the employment life so as to motivate employees so that they can perform and improve on the organization productivity. This study has an advanced knowledge by accessing factors influencing retirement decision deeply. In most instances, the research study gained support and courage from prior researches conducted across different organizations in different countries of the world, and therefore, generalizability is not so much of a surprising fact, or similarity in ways of framing it, but this is a unique product.

Glutamatergic neurotransmission and toxicity: Domoic acid and Kainic acid (Glutamic acid analogs)
No full textGlutamate is one of the most important compounds within the body, well-known for its role as an excitatory neurotransmitter. Given the importance of glutamate within not only the central nervous system but also various other biochemical processes, the study of glutamatergic neurotransmission has garnered well-deserved attention throughout the scientific community. Most notably, the use of natural analogs of glutamate, such as domoic acid and kainic acid, has significantly improved our understanding of the mechanism of glutamate function. Our increased knowledge of glutamate has subsequently allowed for significant advances in understanding the etiology of various diseases, which is a necessary step in the development of more effective treatments. With the seemingly endless functions of glutamate, the study of glutamate analogs will continue to advance our knowledge of glutamatergic neurotransmission and its role in numerous adverse health conditions

E.K. Bailey's Hermeneutic for Preaching
No full textE. K. Bailey’s (1945-2003) pulpit ministry at Concord Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas, demonstrated the non-monolithic nature of Black Sacred Rhetoric. Bailey’s preaching employed an author-centered hermeneutic while attending to the life situation of the Concord congregation. This dissertation will argue that Bailey’s expository preaching was supported by a twofold interpretive lens, Afro-ethnic Ecclesial Kinship and Bibliocentric Christoformity. Bailey preached the Christian Scriptures (1) in connection with his ethnic and ecclesial community and (2) in submission to Scripture’s authorial intent for communal formation in Christ. Bailey valued the pursuit of the biblical authors’ meanings and their applications to the congregation he served. Chapter 1 introduces Bailey’s significance and pulpit legacy as an expository preacher. Chapter 2 discusses his life, education, and ministry years at Concord Church. Chapter 3 situates Bailey’s hermeneutic in the landscape of six major hermeneutical districts of Black Sacred Rhetoric and locates him in biblical exposition within his African-American ethnicity. Chapter 4 explains Bailey’s two principal hermeneutical influencers: A. Louis Patterson, Jr., and Henry H. Mitchell. Chapters 5 and 6 explicate Bailey’s twofold lens, which the reader will see in Bailey’s homiletical expositions on Ephesians in addition to other sermons preached during Bailey’s most experienced years at Concord. Chapter 7 discusses implications for expository preaching based on Bailey’s life and ministry. Chapter 8 concludes with further research opportunities on Bailey.
The dissertation amplifies the overlooked and under-published author-centered hermeneutic in Black Sacred Rhetoric. It presents Bailey as an echo of W. E. B. Du Bois’s “Black Pastor” and a contemporary complement to Daniel R. Bare’s “Black Fundamentalist” pastor during Segregation. It shows how Bailey was able to incorporate biblical exegesis grounded in authorial intent without neglecting the unique, historical context of the African-American community he was called to pastor. Through the interpretive assumptions that grounded his preaching, Bailey trailblazed a path for a future generation of author-centered hermeneutics in Black Sacred Rhetoric
