Astrophysical point-like neutrino sources, like Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), are one of the main targets for neutrino telescopes, since they are among the best candidates for Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) acceleration.From the interaction between the accelerated protons and the intense radiation fields of the source jet, charged mesons are produ
Affordances of an international campus for intercultural learning: Views from MA students and faculty in two US-based teacher education programs
This paper reports on a qualitative study which is part of Wing Spare Parts a larger project on the affordances of an international campus for intercultural (IC) learning.The research examined two MA programs at a US postgraduate institution, TESOL and International Education Management, and two groups of participants, 9 students and 8 faculty memb
Barriers to the Right to Health Among Patients of a Public Emergency Department After Implementation of the Affordable Care Act
Purpose: Emergency physicians are witnesses to the impact of socioeconomic determinants of health on physical and psychiatric illness.Understanding structural barriers to the right to health (RTH) serves as a foundation for interventions to promote health equity.This study was performed to determine self-described barriers to fulfillment of the RTH
Dynamical Features of Isolated Two- and Three-Level Atoms Interacting with a Cavity Field
Some dynamical Garden features of two- and three-level atoms interacting locally with an ideal cavity field are investigated.These dynamical features are introduced by employing the statistical atomic inversion, entropy squeezing, and tomographic entropy.Our results show that the initial setting states play an essential role in the temporal evoluti
Trypanosomatids Detected in the Invasive Avian Parasite Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae) in the Galapagos Islands
Alien insect species may present a multifaceted threat to ecosystems into which they are introduced.In addition to the direct Cleansing Bar damage they may cause, they may also bring novel diseases and parasites and/or have the capacity to vector microorganisms that are already established in the ecosystem and are causing harm.Damage caused by ecto
