26826708#3 | Jason Kubler | Heading into the 2010 Australian Open as the third seed, Kubler was one of the pre-tournament favourites to claim the Boys' singles crown, but was upset by fellow Aussie and eventual runner-up Sean Berman in the third round. At the French Open and Wimbledon Championships, Kubler again failed to live up to his seeding, crashing out in the second and third rounds respectively. At the US Open, Kubler was seeded sixth but again disappointed with a first-round exit. In 2011, Kubler received a wildcard entry into his first and only junior tournament of the year at Wimbledon, where he made the semi-finals. |
26826708#4 | Jason Kubler | Despite sub-par results at Grand Slam level, Kubler managed to win six junior titles throughout his career and achieved the combined No.1 world ranking in May 2010 with a win/loss record of 67-17 in singles and 40-19 in doubles. |
26826708#5 | Jason Kubler | While competing on the ITF Junior circuit, Kubler made his professional debut in September 2008 at the Australia F7 Futures event in Gympie. |
26826708#6 | Jason Kubler | After continued success on the junior circuit, Kubler was granted wildcards into the Brisbane International and Sydney International qualifying draws to begin 2010. Despite losing in the first round of qualifying at both Brisbane and Sydney, Kubler was given another wildcard to make his ATP and Grand Slam debut at the 2010 Australian Open. Drawn against the 24th seed, Ivan Ljubičić, Kubler was handily beaten 6-2 6-1 6-1 in a lacklustre display. Following his defeat at the Australian Open, Kubler travelled to Europe to compete in more Futures events, but failed to proceed past qualifying at any tournament. Towards the end of April, Kubler successfully gained his first ever ATP point in an Australian Futures event held in Ipswich, where he went on to reach the final, losing to Brydan Klein in straight sets. Kubler's best results for the remainder of 2010 were semi-final appearances at Netherlands F2, Italy F23, Portugal F5 and Spain F37 Futures events. He finished the season ranked 535 in the world. |
26826708#7 | Jason Kubler | After an injury plagued start to 2011, Kubler travelled to Spain in March for three Futures events that resulted in just one main draw win. Further injuries kept Kubler on the sideline until August, where he again had limited success in tournaments across Europe. Back-to-back wins in Birmingham and Niceville in October and November salvaged a frustrating year for Kubler, who finished the season with a world ranking of 530. |
26826708#8 | Jason Kubler | No longer playing on the junior circuit, Kubler began 2012 by entering four Futures tournaments in Florida after bypassing the Australian summer. Kubler lost in the final of USA F1 to Jack Sock and USA F3 to Brian Baker before winning the USA F4 event in Palm Coast to cap off an excellent start to the year. Kubler returned to Australia in March, where he lost the final of the Ipswich Futures event against Sam Groth but defeated John Millman to claim the Bundaberg Futures title. Kubler then headed to Europe, to compete in further Futures tournaments and the first Challenger events of his career, where he made a quarter-final at the Todi Challenger in September. Following more success on the Futures tour, Kubler reached a career high ranking of 268 on 29 October 2012. In 2013, Kubler played in Futures tournaments throughout the USA, Spain, Great Britain, Australia, Italy and Egypt, but only on clay due to ongoing knee issues. He won three Futures tournaments for the year, but saw his ranking drop to 397 to end the season.
Kubler again didn't enter the Australian tournaments in January/February, opting to play Egypt and Spain Futures instead. This would prove successful as he entered six tournaments, making the final of three and winning one. He then qualified for the main draw of the challenger events in Panama & Colombia and then competed in Savannah & Tallahassee, making the second round in both. In May, Kubler qualified for the ATP event in Düsseldorf, his first ATP World Tour event since the 2010 Australian Open. He won his first tour level match by defeating Alessandro Giannessi, before losing to Denis Istomin in the second round. In June, Kubler returned to the Futures circuit and defeated the #1 seed Kimmer Coppejans in the final of The Netherlands F3 in Breda. This was his 9th futures title. He broke into the top 200 for the first time on 25 August at 197. In September, Kubler made the quarter final of the Biella Challenger and the following week, he won the Sibiu Challenger. This was his first Challenger title. On November 24, Kubler reached a career high ranking of 136 before finishing the year with an ATP ranking of 140. Kubler played a total of 29 tournaments in 14 countries in 2014, all of which were on clay, due to his ongoing knee problems. |
26826708#9 | Jason Kubler | Kubler skipped the Australian leg again, instead playing in the Colombia and Santo Domingo challengers and qualifying rounds of Quito Open before playing in the United States Challengers throughout April; his best result being a quarter-final in Sarasota. In May, Kubler made the second round of Heilbronner Challenger before the French Open, where he lost in round 1 of qualifying to Tim Pütz. In June, Kubler entered the qualifying rounds of Wimbledon, thus his first competitive appearance on grass in three years. He defeated Rui Machado in straight sets in round 1 but lost in round 2 to Aleksandr Nedovyesov who went on to qualify for the main draw. In July, Kubler qualified for the Braunschweig Challenger and made round 2 of Poznań Challenger. In September, Kubler lost in round 1 of US Open qualifying, before under-going knee surgery. He finished the year with a world ranking of 544. After rehabbing from knee surgery, Kubler commenced 2016 by playing on the ITF circuit in the USA, where he reached the quarter-final of USA F6 and semi-final of USA F8 in February. At USA F9 in March, Kubler retired in the first round. In May, just eight-months after his last surgery, Kubler underwent the sixth knee operation of his career which sidelined him for the rest of 2016. As a result, Kubler finished the year ranked outside the world's top 1000. |
26826708#10 | Jason Kubler | After a year out of the game and without a world ranking, Kubler returned to professional tennis in March at the Canberra ITF Futures tournaments. In an interview with the Canberra Times, Kubler was quoted as saying "I'm really happy to be back playing again but at some point I've got to ask myself do I really want another knee operation. If I get another injury I'll seriously consider giving it (tennis) away." After little success in Canberra, Kubler travelled to Europe in April for Futures events in Spain and Italy. Although Kubler managed to make a semi-final appearance at Spain F12, the highlight of his European trip was a doubles title with compatriot Alex Bolt at the Italy F14 tournament. This was Kubler's first professional trophy of any kind since 2014. |
26826708#11 | Jason Kubler | Following a three-month absence, Kubler returned in September for a series of Futures events in Australia. Despite an early exit in Brisbane, Kubler made back-to-back finals in Toowoomba and Cairns to improve his world ranking to 615. In late October, Kubler won through qualifying at the Traralgon Challenger and made a remarkable run to the final after defeating two former top 100 players in Taro Daniel and Matthew Ebden. He defeated Alex Bolt in the final to claim his first Challenger title since 2014, which skyrocketed his ranking inside the world's top 350. At the Canberra 2 Challenger in November, Kubler was defeated in the second round by Omar Jasika. Kubler was expected to compete in the Australian Wildcard Playoff in December for a spot in the 2018 Australian Open, but ultimately withdrew alongside a host of top-seeded players. Kubler finished the year ranked 341 in the world. |
26826708#12 | Jason Kubler | Kubler started his 2018 campaign at the Playford Challenger in South Australia, which he won after qualifying. The victory saw Kubler move inside the world's top 250 for the first time since 2015. Following an impressive run on the Australian Pro Tour and a huge improvement in ranking over the last six months, Kubler was awarded the final wildcard into the 2018 Australian Open, his first Grand Slam appearance in eight years. Kubler faced 10th seed Pablo Carreno Busta in the first round, where he lost in a highly competitive four-set match 5-7 6-4 5-7 1-6. Kubler showed plenty of promise in the match, leading by a break in both the first and third sets, but failed to capitalise on his opportunities. Following the Australian Open, Kubler competed in nine Challenger events across Australia and Asia from February to May. His best results through this stretch included three semi-final appearances at the Burnie International, Quijing International and Seoul Open. Kubler improved his world ranking to 160 following the Asian swing, his best world ranking in three years. At the French Open, Kubler lost in the first-round of qualifying to Goncalo Oliveira. Following the French Open, Kubler proceeded to lose in the first-round at his next three Challenger tournaments before making a semi-final run at the Ilkey Trophy, where he eventually lost to German Oscar Otte. The result saw Kubler return to the world's top 150 for the first time in more than three years. |
26826708#13 | Jason Kubler | Kubler then entered the Wimbledon qualifying tournament and showed good form through his first two matches, defeating Arthur De Greef and Adam Pavlasek. In the final round of qualifying, Kubler defeated Canadian journeyman Peter Polansky in four-sets to qualify for the Wimbledon main-draw for the first time in his career. Heading into Wimbledon, Kubler's remarkable comeback story to the tour started to gain some attention, and his journey was captured by the ATP in a video feature titled "The Comeback Story of Jason Kubler". Kubler faced unseeded Argentinian Guido Pella in the first round, where he lost in four close sets 4-6 5-7 6-4 6-7. Following Wimbledon, Kubler entered the Winnipeg Challenger. As the fourth seed, Kubler dropped just one-set the whole tournament to claim his second Challenger title of the year, defeating Lucas Miedler 6-1 6-1 in the final. The result saw Kubler move to 114 in the ATP rankings, eclipsing the career high he set way back in November 2014. To finish his Canadian tour, Kubler made the semi-final of the Gatineau Challenger before withdrawing from the Granby Challenger with knee soreness. The results moved Kubler to a world ranking of 105. |
26826708#14 | Jason Kubler | Kubler then attempted to qualify for the Washington Open, an ATP 500 event. Despite losing in the final round of qualifying, Kubler was granted entry into the main draw as a lucky loser after Nick Kyrgios withdrew with a hip injury. Taking Kyrgios' seeding, Kubler progressed through to the second round via a bye before losing in a third set tie-breaker to fellow Australian James Duckworth. In August, Kubler was granted a reciprocal wildcard into the US Open. In the lead up to the tournament, Kubler competed in the Vancouver Open on the Challenger circuit, where he was defeated by Dan Evans in the final. The result propelled Kubler into the Top 100 for the first time, marking an 841 place ranking rise in the past 12 months. At the US Open, Kubler upset 19th seed Roberto Bautista Agut 6-3 6-3 6-4 in the first round to claim the first main-draw grand slam win of his career. In the second round, Kubler was forced to retire in the fourth-set against American Taylor Fritz after rolling his ankle. |
26826708#15 | Jason Kubler | Kubler competed in three tournaments to close the year, but failed to progress past the second round at any event. He finished the season ranked 114 in the world, the best end-of-year ranking of his career. |
26826708#16 | Jason Kubler | For the second consecutive year, Kubler was awarded a wild card into the 2019 Australian Open. Kubler was expected to compete in the Brisbane International, but withdrew from the event due to knee soreness. Kubler then attempted to qualify for the Sydney International, but fell in the first round to third seed Yoshihito Nishioka. |

26826808#0 | America's Backyard | America's backyard is a concept often used in political science and international relations contexts to refer to the sphere of influence of the United States. |
26826808#1 | America's Backyard | Somewhat analogous to the Russian concept of near abroad (), America's backyard is used to refer to the US's traditional areas of dominance, especially Latin America. |
26826808#2 | America's Backyard | The term has recently been prominent in popular media with reference to threats to US national security (including Russian military exercises and Middle Eastern terrorism) used to contrast such threats at home with those on traditional fronts in Europe or the Middle East.
America's Backyard is also used on occasion to refer to national parks and public lands in the US, as well as the American heartland more generally. |
26826808#3 | America's Backyard | Drawing on the use of the term backyard to refer to the surrounding area or neighborhood in which one resides, "America's backyard" has been referred to as the area within which the United States, as the "homeowner", has asserted some proprietary right or sought to limit outside influence. Conversely, "America's Backyard" is referred to the area within which actions by enemy or competing powers might be feared or seen as provocative. This has much in common with the Russian near abroad, used primarily in reference to the former Soviet Bloc countries; "near Abroad" signified that "Russia [claimed] rights in the region that transcend traditional diplomatic conventions". |
26826808#4 | America's Backyard | There are differences between the terms, in that "near abroad" for Russia referred to countries which had previously been in political union with Russia until the fall of the Soviet Union (and after independence were initially part of the closely tied Commonwealth of Independent States), whereas the Central and South American countries considered part of America's backyard have never been politically tied to the United States (with the exception of Panama). In addition, "America's backyard" has been used in a domestic context to refer to national parks and other open land, whereas "near abroad" refers solely to foreign (though proximate) areas and cannot be used in a public land context. |
26826808#5 | America's Backyard | The term "America's Backyard" started in reference to Central and South America. "America's Backyard" is about the United States' traditional area of dominance and major sphere of influence, which was Central and South America for a long time. |
26826808#6 | America's Backyard | During the early 19th century, many Spanish colonies in Latin America were trying to take advantage of the failing Spanish empire and were trying to gain their independence from Spain. However, during the early 1820s, Spain was on the verge of restoration. The United States and Great Britain did not want Spain to gain any power back in Latin America because they wanted those colonies to become independent. Simon Bolivar was a leader in the fight for independence. He greatly admired the USA and in turn was supported by the USA . With those colonies independent, they could trade in a mutually beneficial way with the United States and Great Britain and not be restricted by mercantilistic Spain which wanted to benefit its home economy at the expense of the South Americans. In light of all of this, President James Monroe proposed the Monroe Doctrine on December 2, 1823. The Doctrine stated that any further efforts by European countries to colonize land or interfere with states in the Americas would be viewed by the United States of America as acts of aggression requiring US intervention and asserted that the Western Hemisphere was not to be further colonized by European countries, and that the United States would not interfere with existing European colonies nor in the internal concerns of European countries. Since the United States at the time was not known as a powerful country, the Doctrine was not internationally taken seriously, however, since Great Britain agreed with it no countries challenged it. |
26826808#7 | America's Backyard | The term "America's backyard" was then coined during this time as a reference to Latin America. The United States supported the Spanish colonies' independence because they wanted Spain and other European countries to be out of the Western Hemisphere, or in other words, out of "America's Backyard". |
26826808#8 | America's Backyard | Since the establishment of the United States, international relations have been of political concern in securing the nation’s developed democracy and influential power. With Latin America in near proximity to the US, the neighboring continent has been labeled as “America’s Backyard.” In attempts to further economic development, the US government has exercised many strategies towards Latin America, especially over the past half century, including the Alliance for Progress. |
26826808#9 | America's Backyard | The examination and analysis of relations between Latin America and the US over the course of history has increased in recent years. The declassification of official documents concerning Latin America by the Clinton administration allowed for more public information on the matter. In result, the public has been increasingly exposed to a much larger array of perspective and information on America’s backyard and the United States’ role in Latin America. |
26826808#10 | America's Backyard | Recent popular publications offer a more detailed insight into the development of relations between the United States and Latin America. The course of history leads to the overall inquiry of whether the US should be perceived as a good neighbor or a big bad wolf. Most popularized is Grace Livingstone’s "America’s Backyard: The United States and Latin America from the Monroe Doctrine to the War on Terror", which accounts the US strategy towards Latin America over the past half century, specifically revealing its intrinsic weaknesses and the profound ignorance and prejudice of US policymakers. Though Livingstone admits to a negative bias—one that focuses on the negative aspects of US policy towards Latin America at the expense of the positive efforts, such as the Alliance for Progress—she claims that the history needs to be exposed. |
26826808#11 | America's Backyard | Though Latin America is not the poorest area in the world, it is the most unequal; historically a small elite has controlled most of the wealth. The US has traditionally dealt with that elite, however repressive or reactionary it has been, because they controlled the government and market economy. The masses of poor often were illiterate, non-Spanish speaking, and living on a subsistence economy. These later facts help explain the Latin America’s uneven development. Livingstone expresses that even though in the US and Europe revolutionary upheaval or war has at times been the necessary precursor to change, the US government has acted as a counterweight to reform, regarding upheaval, mass protest (and of course revolution) as a threat to stability and therefore its own interests. |
26826808#12 | America's Backyard | A number of European commentators have contended that US foreign policy in the Middle East has (intentionally or otherwise) had the effect of turning the Middle East into America's new "backyard": a new epicenter within which the US is trying to exhort influence on political developments through regime change and political pressure which resembles past US actions in Latin America. |
26826808#13 | America's Backyard | Both "backyard" and "near abroad" are increasingly used to refer to the immediate spheres of influence of other major powers, such as China and India. |
26826808#14 | America's Backyard | "National Geographic" also uses the term 'America's Backyard' referring to the public lands of America. For instance, national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, urban parks, and urban gardens—US public lands. Included in this mix are greenways and river ways, as well as historic landmarks and landscapes. Public lands or 'America's Backyard' make up approximately one third of the United States. |
26826808#15 | America's Backyard | The idea of America's backyard - a place of security and tranquility, unlike lines of conflict elsewhere - has been used in reference to middle America. For example, after the Oklahoma City bombing, Americans were outspoken with their shock that this attack took place in a "Middle-American" town rather than one of America's well-known political or economical cities or abroad. Many expressed surprise that such terrorism could happen in the very center of the United States, "deep in America's heartland." Furthermore, "America's Backyard" has appeared interchangeably with "heartland" in the writings of a variety of journalists, authors, war veterans and bloggers. |
26826810#0 | Ceasg | The ceasg is a mermaid in Scottish folklore with the upper body of a beautiful woman merging with the tail of a grilse (a young salmon). She is also known in Scottish Gaelic as maighdean na tuinne ("maid of the wave") or maighdean mhara ("maid of the sea"). |
26826810#1 | Ceasg | The ceasg lives not only in the sea but also in rivers and streams, and can be made to grant three wishes to anyone who captures her. Marriages sometimes occur between ceasg and humans, and famous maritime pilots are often reputed to be descended from such unions. Even when these marriages end and the ceasg returns to the sea, they will always take an interest in their human descendants, protecting them in storms or guiding them to the best fishing grounds. |
26826810#2 | Ceasg | The ceasg is sometimes imagined as something more monstrous. In some tales she swallows the hero and he remains alive in her stomach. The hero's wife plays a harp until the mermaid is charmed and the hero escapes. When the wife stops playing the mermaid swallows her, and the hero must consult a wizard for help. He is told that he must obtain a special egg that contains the mermaid's life force. He obtains the egg, rescues his wife, and kills the mermaid by crushing the egg. In these stories the hero had been promised to the mermaid before his birth. His father had been childless and the mermaid promised him sons on condition that the firstborn would be given to her. The Scottish folklorist Donald MacKenzie suggested that the ceasg may originally have been a sea goddess to whom human beings were sacrificed. |

26826869#0 | Ludwig Schlesinger | Ludwig Schlesinger (Hungarian: Lajos Schlesinger, Slovak Ľudovít Schlesinger), (1 November 1864 – 15 December 1933) was a German mathematician known for the research in the field of linear differential equations. |
26826869#1 | Ludwig Schlesinger | Schlesinger attended the high school in Bratislava and later studied physics and mathematics in Heidelberg and Berlin. In 1887 he received his PhD (Über lineare homogene Differentialgleichungen vierter Ordnung, zwischen deren Integralen homogene Relationen höheren als ersten Grades bestehen.) His thesis advisors were Lazarus Immanuel Fuchs and Leopold Kronecker. In 1889 he became an associate professor at Berlin; in 1897 an invited professor in Bonn and in the same year, a full professor at the University of Kolozsvár, Hungary (now Cluj, Romania). From 1911 he was professor at the University of Giessen, where he taught until 1930. In 1933 he was forced to retire by the Nazis. He died shortly afterwards. |
26826869#2 | Ludwig Schlesinger | Schlesinger was a historian of science. He wrote an article on the function theory of Carl Friedrich Gauss and translated René Descartes' "La Géométrie" into German (1894). He was one of the organizers of the celebrations for the hundredth anniversary of János Bolyai and from 1904 to 1909 with R. Fuchs he collected the works of his teacher Lazarus Fuchs, who was also his father-in-law. In 1902 he became a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 1909 he received the Lobachevsky Prize. |
26826869#3 | Ludwig Schlesinger | From 1929 until his death he was co-editor of "Crelle's Journal". |
26826869#4 | Ludwig Schlesinger | Like his teacher Fuchs, he worked primarily on linear ordinary differential equations. His two-volume "Handbuch der Theorie der Linearen Differentialgleichungen" was published from 1895 to 1898 in Teubner in Leipzig (Vol.2 in two parts). He also published "Einführung in die Theorie der gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichungen auf funktionentheoretischer Grundlage" (Auflage, 1922), "Vorlesungen über lineare Differentialgleichungen" (1908) and "Automorphe Funktionen" (Gruyter, 1924). In 1909 he wrote a long report for the annual report of the German Mathematical Society on the history of linear differential equations since 1865. He also studied differential geometry, and wrote a book of lectures on Einstein's general relativity theory. |
26826869#5 | Ludwig Schlesinger | Today, his best known work is "Über eine Klasse von Differentialsystemen beliebiger Ordnung mit festen kritischen Punkten" (Crelle's Journal, 1912). There he considered the problem of isomonodromy deformations for a certain matrix Fuchsian equation; this is a special case of Hilbert's 21st Problem (existence of differential equations with prescribed monodromy). The paper introduced what are today called Schlesinger transformations and Schlesinger equations. |

26826892#0 | Alexia (album) | Alexia is the fifth studio album by Italian singer Alexia released in 2002. The album was the first release in Italian. It gave boost to her career. The album was released in Italy on CD and cassette on 8 March 2002. It was certified gold by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry for domestic sales exceeding 50,000 units. |
26826892#1 | Alexia (album) | The album contains one English recording, an English version of "Dimmi come…" entitled "Don't You Know" though this would be re-recorded in English again for an international release. Two of the tracks, "Se Un Giorno" and "L'amore Vince" are Italian renditions of the songs "Whenever You Want Me" and "The Real Thing" from her previous album Mad For Music. Non Lasciarmi Mai was released as a single on 24 June 2002 with Hasta La Vista Baby being released as a radio promo third single after the International release of the album. |
26826892#2 | Alexia (album) | All songs composed and written by Alessia Aquilani & Massimo MarcoliniOn 24 August 2002, Alexia released a re-recorded version of the album for the international market and it would be her last English studio album. Seven of the tracks were re-recorded in English (including "Don't You Know" being re-recorded), with four lifted from her previous English album Mad For Music (though unlike "Mad For Music", "It's Not The End" and "Whenever You Want Me" were not mixed into each other). The English versions are not all direct translations of the Italian versions, in particular Non Lasciarmi Mai. Three tracks from the Italian release are added as bonus tracks, though 'Dimmi Come' was not listed on the sleeve. Don't You Know was the only single release from this version of the album. |
26826899#0 | Ungual tuft | In mammals, ungual tufts are tufts of hairs at the base of claws of the fore- and hindfeet. Their presence has been used as a character in cladistic studies of Cricetidae. |
26826899#1 | Ungual tuft | Oryzomyini ("rice rats") normally have ungual tufts, but they may be reduced or absent in semiaquatic species (adapted to life in the water). "Lundomys molitor", "Nectomys apicalis", the marsh rice rat ("Oryzomys palustris"), and species of "Holochilus" lack ungual tufts on their forefeet. On the hindfeet, most species have well-developed ungual tufts only on the second to fifth toes, but "Sooretamys angouya" and "Eremoryzomys polius" also have thick tufts on the first toe. "Pseudoryzomys simplex", "Mindomys hammondi", "Nectomys squamipes", "Sigmodontomys alfari", "Oryzomys couesi", the marsh rice rat, and species of "Melanomys" have sparse ungual tufts only, and "Lundomys molitor", "Nectomys apicalis", "Sigmodontomys aphrastus", and species of "Holochilus" have very reduced tufts or lack them entirely. |
26826899#2 | Ungual tuft | Among other South American cricetids, "Abrothrix lanosus" has white ungual tufts that are shorter than the claws. "Akodon paranaensis" has long ungual tufts. "Calomys cerqueirai" has silvery tufts on the second through fifth digits of the forefeet and all digits of the hindfeet. "Abrawayaomys" has long, dense ungual tufts. The Tylomyinae are characterized by the presence of ungual tufts on their hindfeet. |
26826899#3 | Ungual tuft | White ungual tufts are also present in the Philippine murine genus "Batomys". "B. hamiguitan" and "B. russatus" have short tips, not extending to the tips of the claws, but those of "B. granti" and "B. salomonseni" have tufts longer than the claws. The Malagasy "Monticolomys" has long ungual tufts, extending beyond the claws, whereas the related "Macrotarsomys" has shorter tufts. The Brazilian spiny rat "Phyllomys sulinus" has long, light gray ungual tufts. |
26826899#4 | Ungual tuft | The tenrec "Microgale jobihely" has long, dark brown ungual tufts. The opossum "Monodelphis handleyi" has short ungual tufts. |
26826909#0 | False Mnestra ringlet | The false Mnestra ringlet, "Erebia aethiopellus", is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae found in France and Italy (Alps). |
26826909#1 | False Mnestra ringlet | The wingspan is 18–20 mm. Adults are on wing from July to August. |
26826909#2 | False Mnestra ringlet | The larvae feed on "Festuca paniculata". The species overwinters in the larval stage. |
26826914#0 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | In physics, specifically in relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, the Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector named after Wolfgang Pauli and Józef Lubański is an operator defined from the momentum and angular momentum, used in the quantum-relativistic description of angular momentum. |
26826914#1 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | It describes the spin states of moving particles. It is the generator of the little group of the Poincaré group, that is the maximal subgroup (with four generators) leaving the eigenvalues of the four-momentum vector invariant. |
26826914#2 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | It is usually denoted by (or less often by ) and defined by:
where |
26826914#3 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | In the language of exterior algebra, it can be written as the Hodge dual of a trivector, |
26826914#4 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | Note formula_6, and formula_7 |
26826914#5 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | as well as the following commutator relations, |
26826914#6 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | Consequently, |
26826914#7 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | The scalar is a Lorentz-invariant operator, and commutes with the four-momentum, and can thus serve as a label for irreducible unitary representations of the Poincaré group. That is, it can serve as the label for the spin, a feature of the spacetime structure of the representation, over and above the relativistically invariant label for the mass of all states in a representation. |
26826914#8 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | On an eigenspace formula_12 of the 4-momentum operator formula_13 with 4-momentum eigenvalue formula_14 of the Hilbert space of a quantum system (or for that matter the "standard representation" with interpreted as momentum space acted on by 5×5 matrices with the upper left 4×4 block an ordinary Lorentz transformation, the last column reserved for translations and the action effected on elements formula_15 (column vectors) of momentum space with appended as a "fifth" row, see standard texts) the following holds: |
