26826914#9 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | The irreducible unitary representation of the Poincaré group are characterized by the eigenvalues of the two Casimir operators formula_24 and formula_25. The best way to see that an irreducible unitary representation actually is obtained is to exhibit its action on an element with arbitrary 4-momentum eigenvalue formula_15 in the representation space thus obtained. Irreducibility follows from the construction of the representation space. |
26826914#10 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | In quantum field theory, in the case of a massive field, the Casimir invariant describes the total spin of the particle, with eigenvalues
where is the spin quantum number of the particle and is its rest mass. |
26826914#11 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | It is straightforward to see this in the rest frame of the particle, the above commutator acting on the particle's state amounts to ; hence and , so that the little group amounts to the rotation group,
Since this is a Lorentz invariant quantity, it will be the same in all other reference frames. |
26826914#12 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | It is also customary to take to describe the spin projection along the third direction in the rest frame. |
26826914#13 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | In moving frames, decomposing into components , with and orthogonal to , and parallel to , the Pauli–Lubanski vector may be expressed in terms of the spin vector = (similarly decomposed) as
where
is the energy–momentum relation. |
26826914#14 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | The transverse components , along with , satisfy the following commutator relations (which apply generally, not just to non-zero mass representations), |
26826914#15 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | For particles with non-zero mass, and the fields associated with such particles, |
26826914#16 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | In general, in the case of non-massive representations, two cases may be distinguished.
For massless particles,
where is the dynamic mass moment vector. So, mathematically, = 0 does not imply = 0. |
26826914#17 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | In the more general case, the components of transverse to may be non-zero, thus yielding the family of representations referred to as the "cylindrical" luxons ("luxon" is another term for "massless particle"), their identifying property being that the components of form a Lie subalgebra isomorphic to the 2-dimensional Euclidean group , with the longitudinal component of playing the role of the rotation generator, and the transverse components the role of translation generators. This amounts to a group contraction of , and leads to what are known as the "continuous spin" representations. However, there are no known physical cases of fundamental particles or fields in this family. It can be proved that continuous spin states are unphysical. |
26826914#18 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | In a special case, is parallel to ; or equivalently . For non-zero , this constraint can only be consistently imposed for luxons, since the commutator of the two transverse components of is proportional to . For this family, and ; the invariant is, instead, , where
so the invariant is represented by the helicity operator |
26826914#19 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | All particles that interact with the Weak Nuclear Force, for instance, fall into this family, since the definition of weak nuclear charge (weak isospin) involves helicity, which, by above, must be an invariant. The appearance of non-zero mass in such cases must then be explained by other means, such as the Higgs mechanism. Even after accounting for such mass-generating mechanisms, however, the photon (and therefore the electromagnetic field) continues to fall into this class, although the other mass eigenstates of the carriers of the electroweak force (the particle and anti-particle and particle) acquire non-zero mass. |
26826914#20 | Pauli–Lubanski pseudovector | Neutrinos were formerly considered to fall into this class as well. However, through neutrino oscillations, it is now known that at least two of the three mass eigenstates of the left-helicity neutrino and right-helicity anti-neutrino each must have non-zero mass. |

26826938#0 | Psalm 115 | Psalm 115 is part of the Egyptian Hallel sequence in the Book of Psalms. |
26826938#1 | Psalm 115 | This psalm was often attached to the preceding psalm in ancient translations, including LXX and Vulgate. In the Vulgate version it is counted as verses 9–26 of Psalm 113 (Psalm 114 in Hebrew numbering).Verse 1 is notable as the text of the hymn "Non nobis, Domine". |
26826940#0 | Shin Mi-Nauk | Shin Mi-Nauk ( ) was a senior queen consort of King Minkhaung I of Ava from 1400 to 1407. She was the mother of Crown Prince Minye Kyawswa, who is one of the most celebrated generals in Burmese history, and King Thihathu of Ava. Mi-Nauk was a daughter of Hsongamhpa, the "saopha" (chief) of Shan state of Mohnyin. She was married to Minkhaung, son King Swa Saw Ke of Ava when Ava and Mohnyin were in a rare period of good relations in 1389. From 1391 to 1395, she gave birth to three sons, Minye Kyawswa, Thihathu and Minye Kyawhtin, and a daughter, Saw Pyei Chantha at Pyinzi, which was Minkhaung's fief. |
26826940#1 | Shin Mi-Nauk | Mi-Nauk became of queen of Ava on 25 November 1400 when Minkhaung ascended to the throne of Ava. Ava at that time was fighting against the Kingdom of Hanthawaddy in the south. In May 1408, Minkhaung invaded the Hanthawaddy country and reached the outskirts of Pegu. As it was the custom of the day, she accompanied Minkhaung during his military expeditions. Three months later, c. July 1408, the Hanthawaddy army counter-attacked and soundly defeated the Ava army. In the process of chaotic retreat, Mi-Nauk was captured by the Hanthawaddy army. King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy made a queen of his. Inside Razadarit's harem was her daughter Saw Pyei Chantha, who was captured at Arakan by the Hanthawaddy army, and also made a queen of Razadarit. |
26826940#2 | Shin Mi-Nauk | Minye Kyawswa in particular would not forgive Razadarit for putting his mother and sister in the harem. He was determined to defeat Razadarit in war, and came close to accomplishing it. But he could not rescue his mother and sister as he died from battle wounds in March 1415. |
26826952#0 | Manuel Boutoumites | Manuel Boutoumites or Butumites (, "fl." 1086–1112) was a leading Byzantine general and diplomat during the reign of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos (r. 1081–1118), and one of the emperor's most trusted aides. He was instrumental in the Byzantine recovery of Nicaea from the Seljuk Turks, in the reconquest of Cilicia, and acted as the emperor's envoy in several missions to Crusader princes. |
26826952#1 | Manuel Boutoumites | Boutoumites appears in Anna Komnene's "Alexiad" in 1086, when he was appointed as the "doux" of the Byzantine fleet by Alexios, and sent against Abu'l Qasim, the semi-independent Seljuk Turkish governor of Nicaea. Abu'l Qasim was preparing to launch a fleet into the Sea of Marmara to challenge the Byzantine navy. Alexios, determined to prevent this, sent against him Boutoumites with the fleet, while Tatikios would move against his base by land. The two generals successfully destroyed the Seljuk fleet and forced Abu'l Qasim to withdraw to Nicaea, whence he concluded a truce with Byzantium. |
26826952#2 | Manuel Boutoumites | Later, in 1092, after Alexios's "megas doux", John Doukas, defeated the emir Tzachas of Smyrna, Boutoumites, along with Alexander Euphorbenos, were given as hostages to the emir to guarantee his peaceful evacuation of the island of Lesbos. Soon after, Doukas and Boutoumites were sent against the rebellions of Karykes at Crete and Rhapsomates at Cyprus. After subduing Karykes's revolt, they headed to Cyprus, where Kyrenia fell quickly. Rhapsomates came out to meet them and occupied the heights above the city, but Boutoumites enticed many of his men to desert, and the rebel had to flee the battle. Boutoumites pursued and caught up with him at the church of the Holy Cross, where the rebel had sought refuge. Promising to spare his life, he captured him and brought him back to Doukas. According to tradition, while in Cyprus, he founded the Kykkos Monastery there. |
26826952#3 | Manuel Boutoumites | Boutoumites was highly regarded and trusted by Alexios; Anna Komnene calls him "Alexios' sole confidant". Hence he played an important role in the delicate dealings with the First Crusade: in 1096, Boutoumites was sent to escort the ship-wrecked Hugh of Vermandois from Dyrrhachium to Constantinople, and in 1097, he was dispatched, at the head of a small detachment, to accompany the Crusader army as it marched against the Turks in Anatolia. |
26826952#4 | Manuel Boutoumites | The first great obstacle on the Crusaders' path was Nicaea, the Seljuk capital, which they proceeded to besiege. Boutoumites had been instructed by Alexios to secure the surrender of the city to imperial forces, and not to the Crusaders. Already from the outset of the siege, Boutoumites, through numerous letters, tried to entice the Seljuks to surrender to him, whether through promises of amnesty or threats of a wholesale massacre should the Crusaders capture the city by force. The Turks had entered negotiations, allowing Boutoumites to enter the city. Two days later, at the news of the approach of a relief force under Sultan Kilij Arslan I (r. 1092–1107), they forced him to leave. After the relief force was defeated by the Crusaders, however, and as an imperial squadron under Boutoumites gained control of the city's open supply route through the Ascanian Lake and 2,000 Byzantines under Tatikios joined the Crusaders in the siege, the city's inhabitants determined to accept Alexios's terms: Boutoumites entered Nicaea and showed them the Byzantine emperor's chrysobull, offering generous terms and honours for the Sultan's wife and sister, who were in the city. Boutoumites, however, kept the deal a secret, and arranged with Tatikios for a renewed assault by the Crusaders and Tatikios's men, in which the city would ostensibly be captured by the Byzantines. The ruse worked: the day of the final assault was set for June 19, but when the assault began at dawn, the Byzantines, allowed in through the lake-ward gates, raised their standards on the battlements, leaving the Crusaders outside. |
26826952#5 | Manuel Boutoumites | Although by and large the Crusaders accepted the outcome, the event soured relations. The Crusader leaders felt cheated at having been left out of the loop after the casualties they suffered in defeating the Turkish relief force, but the resentment was greater among the Crusader rank and file, who were deprived of the prospect of plunder and outraged at the Byzantines' respectful treatment of the Muslim captives. In the aftermath of the city's fall, Boutoumites was named by Alexios as "doux" of Nicaea. He was successful both in keeping the Crusader rank and file, still eager for pillage, in check – they were not allowed into the city except in groups of ten – and in soothing their leaders through gifts and securing their pledge of allegiance to Alexios. He also persuaded some of the Crusaders to enroll in the Byzantine army. They were then employed in garrisoning Nicaea and repairing its walls. |
26826952#6 | Manuel Boutoumites | In 1099, he was sent by the Byzantine commanders at Cyprus as a peace envoy to Bohemond I of Antioch, but he was detained by him for a fortnight before being released, and no negotiations were begun. A few years later (), Boutoumites was placed at the head of a large army sent to secure Cilicia against Bohemund. After taking Attaleia, the Byzantines took Maraş and its surrounding region. Boutoumites left behind a large force under Monastras to garrison the province, and returned to Constantinople. |
26826952#7 | Manuel Boutoumites | In 1111/12, he was sent as an envoy to the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem to secure aid against Tancred, Bohemund's regent at Antioch, who refused to comply with the Treaty of Devol of 1108, which turned Antioch into a Byzantine vassal state. From Cyprus, Boutoumites first sailed to Tripoli. According to the "Alexiad", the local count, Bertrand of Toulouse, readily assented to assist the imperial forces against Tancred, and even to come and pay homage to Alexios when he would arrive to besiege Antioch. Next the Byzantine envoys set out to meet with the King of Jerusalem, Baldwin I, who was besieging Tyre. Boutoumites tried to persuade Baldwin by offering a substantial reward in gold, and making various exaggerated statements, including that Alexios was supposedly already on his way and had reached Seleucia. Baldwin, however, advised of the untruth of Boutoumites's claims, lost confidence in him. He feigned willingness to attack Tancred provided that he received the promised subsidies beforehand. Boutoumites, however, perceived the king's intentions, and refused to do so. Thus the mission ended in failure, and Boutoumites left Jerusalem, returning to Constantinople via Tripoli. |
26826958#0 | Postumus Cominius Auruncus | Postumus Cominius Auruncus was a two-time consul of the early Roman Republic. |
26826958#1 | Postumus Cominius Auruncus | In 501 BC, Cominius was consul with Titus Lartius, who Livy says was appointed as the first "dictator" of Rome. Other sources indicate the beginnings of hostilities with the Latins and a conspiracy among slaves during their term. |
26826958#2 | Postumus Cominius Auruncus | As the consuls of 493 BC, Cominius and Spurius Cassius Viscellinus were elected towards the end of the First secessio plebis in 494 BC. They also conducted a census. |
26826958#3 | Postumus Cominius Auruncus | Cominius achieved a military victory against the Volsci. He initially defeated a force from the town of Antium, then took the towns of Longula (to the north of Antium) and Pollusca. He laid siege to the town of Corioli and despite being attacked by a second force of Volsci from Antium, he achieved victory through the distinguished actions of Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, and captured Corioli. |
26826958#4 | Postumus Cominius Auruncus | In 488, he was among the envoys "(legati)", all of consular rank, sent to Coriolanus. |
26826958#5 | Postumus Cominius Auruncus | A puzzling and textually incomplete passage in Festus lists Cominius among several men who were burned publicly near the Circus Maximus in 486 BC. Valerius Maximus says that a tribune of the plebs burned nine colleagues for conspiring with Spurius Cassius Vicellinus, a consul in this year who plotted to make himself king. Since the plebeian tribunes numbered ten only much later, and since the listed names indicate that the men were of consular rank and patrician status, this incident during the Volscian Wars remains mysterious. |
26826978#0 | Södermanland Runic Inscription 86 | Sö 86 is the Rundata catalog number for a Viking Age memorial runic inscription located in Åby, which is about one kilometer north of Ålberga, Södermanland County, Sweden, and in the historic province of Södermanland. The inscription features a depiction of the hammer of the Norse pagan god Thor named Mjöllnir and a facial mask. |
26826978#1 | Södermanland Runic Inscription 86 | This inscription has runic text in the younger futhark within a band that circles an image of Thor's hammer which is supported by two serpents. The inscription is carved on an outcropping of granite and the image is approximately 1.8 meters in height. Above the hammer is a facial mask of a man with a moustache and beard. The face represented by the mask is typically interpreted as being that of Thor due to its proximity to the hammer, although there are some who have suggested that the image represents the face of Christ above a cross. A mask was a motif common on inscriptions and is found on several other surviving runestones in Scandinavia including DR 62 in Sjelle, DR 66 in Århus, DR 81 in Skern, DR 258 in Bösarp, the now-lost DR 286 in Hunnestad, DR 314 in Lund, DR 335 in Västra Strö, Vg 106 in Lassegården, Sö 112 in Kolunda, Sö 167 in Landshammar, Sö 367 in Släbro, Nä 34 in Nasta, U 508 in Gillberga, U 670 in Rölunda, U 678 in Skokloster, U 824 in Holms, U 1034 in Tensta, and U 1150 in Björklinge, and on the Sjellebro Stone. The Sö 86 inscription is numbered among several in Scandinavia that have a dedication to Thor. The image of Thor's hammer was used on several other memorial runestones in Sweden and Denmark, perhaps as a parallel to or a pagan reaction to the use of the cross by Christians. Other surviving runestones depicting Thor's hammer include runestones U 1161 in Altuna, Sö 111 in Stenkvista, Sö 140 in Jursta, Vg 113 in Lärkegapet, Öl 1 in Karlevi, DR 26 in Laeborg, DR 48 in Hanning, DR 120 in Spentrup, and DR 331 in Gårdstånga. |
26826978#2 | Södermanland Runic Inscription 86 | The runic text indicates that Ásmundr and Freybjôrn raised the stone as a memorial their father Herbjôrn. Of the personal names mentioned in the text, Freybjôrn contains the Norse god Freyr as a theophoric name element and means "Freyr Bear." The name Ásmundr means "Devine Hand" and has a first element that refers to the Æsir, the name of the principal group of Norse gods. The names in the text also reflect a common practice of that time in Scandinavia of repeating an element in a parent's name in the names of the children. Here the "bjôrn" from the father's name, Herbjôrn, is repeated in the name one of the sons, Freybjôrn, to show the family relationship. |

26826985#0 | Chris Hull | Christopher Michael Hull (born 1957) is a professor of theoretical physics at Imperial College London. Hull is known for his work on string theory, M-theory, and generalized complex structures. Edward Witten drew partially from Hull's work for his development of M-theory. |
26826985#1 | Chris Hull | Hull was educated at Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School and the University of Cambridge where he was a student of King’s College, Cambridge and awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1979 followed by a PhD in 1983 for research supervised by Gary Gibbons. |
26826985#2 | Chris Hull | Hull conducts research into quantum gravity, a field that aims to discover a unifying theory of quantum theory and general relativity. His particular contributions have been made to superstring theory, which models particles and forces as vibrations of ‘supersymmetric strings’, and supergravity, which combines supersymmetry with general relativity. |
26826985#3 | Chris Hull | Many mathematical challenges facing quantum gravity are being met through Hulls efforts to bring in, and extend, techniques from geometry and field theory. His work laid the foundations of M-theory, which brings together apparently competing theories. Overall success in quantum gravity would revolutionise our understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and the origins of, and evolution, of our Universe. |
26826985#4 | Chris Hull | He leads a major research programme in the Department of Physics at Imperial College London, with investigations that include extended geometries, flux geometries and holographic structures. |
26826985#5 | Chris Hull | Hull was awarded a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award in 2002 and the Dirac Medal for Theoretical Physics by the Institute of Physics in 2003. He was awarded a Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) Advanced Research fellowship in 1987 and an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Senior Research Fellowship in 1996. He is also a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP). |

26826990#0 | Whitethorn Woods | Whitethorn Woods is a 2006 novel by the Irish author Maeve Binchy. |
26826990#1 | Whitethorn Woods | The plot centers around a supposedly miraculous well dedicated to Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary, located in a grotto overgrown with whitethorn bushes in the woods next to an Irish town called Rossmore. While the parish priest is frustrated by people's allegiance to the well rather than the church, the novel traces the stories of numerous people who find inspiration through the well in many different ways. The town faces a major dilemma as news surfaces that a new highway is scheduled to be built through the woods, which would threaten the well and the peaceful life that the town has enjoyed so far. |
26826998#0 | Pisidium punctiferum | Pisidium punctiferum, the striate peaclam, is a freshwater bivalve of the family Sphaeriidae. |
26826998#1 | Pisidium punctiferum | The type locality is a pond at Saint Ann's River, near Port of Spain, Trinidad. They were collected by the government botanist Mr. H. Prestoe and by Robert John Lechmere Guppy in 1867.The shell is somewhat subquadrately oval, thin, diaphanous, close, finely striate concentrically, whitish horny, or slightly tinted with fuscous patches near the umbones, and covered with numerous granular points, which are finer and more crowded on the umbones, where the concentric striation is less evident. The shell is anteriorly rather short and subangulate, posteriorly a little truncate. The hinge is with well-developed lateral teeth in both valves, 1-1/1-1. The cardinal teeth is small 2/2. |
26826998#2 | Pisidium punctiferum | This curious little shell varies somewhat, and specimens are sometimes more oval and compressed than the one figured. Occasionally they are higher and shorter, with a steeper posterior slope. The granular points are more easily seen in dead shells, which are opaque. In living examples they seem, under a strong lens, to bear short hairs. The length of a large example is 4 mm, the height is 3.5 mm, the thickness is 2.5 mm. Of an average example the length is 3 mm, the height is 2.5 mm, the thickness is 2 mm. |
26826998#3 | Pisidium punctiferum | Among species of the genus Pisidium the shell appear to resemble most "Cyclas argentina" D'Orb. (=? "Pisidium argentina"), and "Cyclas calyculata" Drap. (=? "Pisidium calyculata"). It is usually more equilateral than either of those species. The epidermis is thin and colourless, so that the striate gills may be seen through the shell. The umbones are not so prominent as those of "Pisidium calyculata", but they are occasionally flattened or otherwise distorted. The foot is whitish, translucid, and may be extruded to a length more than equalling that of the shell, the body being brought up to it with a jerk, as in allied species. Full-grown examples are slightly more equilateral and more angulate than young ones. |

26827000#0 | John Kendal | John Kendal (sometimes "John Kendall") (c. 1400 – 1485) was secretary to Richard III of England. A devout adherent of the Yorkist affinity, and personal friend of Richard of Gloucester. He was killed in the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 whilst fighting in the King's army. |
26827000#1 | John Kendal | Although little is known of his immediate family, he is possibly a direct descendant of the famous Westmorland grammarian Richard Kendal (sometimes Richard de Kendall or Richard de Kendal). He is believed to be born in Appleby-in-Westmorland, England. Modern research suggests that he may have been the son of John Kendall of Gloucester. Another theory concentrates on a possible link to Jean de Foix, Earl of Kendal (a descendant of Bordeaux ally of Edward III, Gaston de Foix), through a manorial fee at Stonor, through the tenant-in-chief, a Gascon descendant of Jean de Grailly, Captal de Buch. |
26827000#2 | John Kendal | In 1481 whilst campaigning on the Scots Borders, Kendall transacted some land on the Manor of Wynsnowe for Richard of Gloucester to his friend and fellow soldier, Sir John Howard. Under Richard III's reign, Kendal acquired his own land in York, and became the first to receive the Honorary Freedom of the city of York, essentially, the title of a 'Freeman'. |
26827000#3 | John Kendal | Kendal was a strong supporter of the Yorkist affinity. Edward IV appointed him Cofferer to the Household and later Clerk of Works, where he was a reliable civil servant to the palatial royal household. During 1483 he obtained offices from April onwards on the death of the old king. The Comptroller of the Exchange, Assayer of the Mint were all his from an affinity for the Liveried Guilds. But later that year he was re-appointed Chief Clerk and Keeper of the Rolls of the King's Bench, so that by the time of Richard III's coup d'état he became Secretary. On 1 August the Lord Chancellor of England's Great Seal was sent to the Master of Rolls for safe-keeping, by which time Kendal was known to be senior to the Clerks. Kendal was a prime mover in Richard's regime, a longtime close associate as secretary to the duke of Gloucester. Kendal surmised the role of Secretary rendering it politically as important as it ever had been. |
26827000#4 | John Kendal | After Bosworth he was attainted by Parliament for treason with other Ricardian adherents. As King's Receiver he made many enemies in the collection of tax revenues. |
26827009#0 | Collections (Alexia album) | Collections is the second budget compilation album of the singer Alexia released after she left the label. It is not regarded as an official Alexia hits compilation as it contains both singles and album tracks. Notably, the songs are from the time after she left Robyx and DWA and cover the albums "Mad For Music", "Alexia" (Italian version only), "Il Cuore A Modo Mio" and "Gli Occhi Grandi Della Luna". "Da Grande", one of the new songs from her 2005 hits collection "Da Grande" is included and this is the only Alexia compilation album to feature the single "Summerlovers". It was released on 19 February 2009 by Columbia (Sony Code 747217) and was the first and only release by Alexia on Sony's Columbia imprint. |
26827009#1 | Collections (Alexia album) | Tracks 1-5, 8 and 12 were previously featured on Sony's first budget Alexia compilation album "Le Più Belle Di" which was notably absent of any tracks from "Mad For Music" which is represented here with four tracks. |
