Normally, the Larmor formula for the rate of energy loss from an accelerating charged particle (e.g., an electron) is derived by considering the energy due to the acceleration field being transmitted to infinity without attenuation. This method does not give any insight into the actual physical phenomenon occurring at the particle itself that is responsible for the loss of energy. To circumvent this problem, we develop a different approach in which the Larmor formula is derived by considering the work done against self-forces created within the particle when it is accelerated. We carry out this analysis in three dimensions so that it is easy to visualize the events happening inside the particle during the acceleration that result in loss of energy. Thus, our method clearly demonstrates the mechanism of energy loss from an accelerated charged particle.

A new approach to obtaining the Melnikov function for homoclinic orbits in slowly varying oscillators is proposed. The present method applies the usual two-dimensional Melnikov analysis to the “fast” dynamics of the system which lie on an invariant manifold. It is shown that the resultant Melnikov function is the same as that obtained in the usual way involving distance functions in three dimensions [Wiggins and Holmes, 1987]. This alternative derivation provides some useful insight into the structure of the dynamical system.

Systematic momentum trading is a prevalent risk premium strategy in different portfolios. This paper focuses on the performance of the managed futures strategy based on the momentum signal across different economic regimes, focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic period. COVID-19 had a solid but short-lived impact on financial markets, and therefore gives a unique insight into momentum strategies’ performance during such critical moments of market stress. We offer a new approach to implementing momentum strategies by adding macroeconomic variables to the model. We test a managed futures strategy’s performance with a well-diversified futures portfolio across different asset classes. The research concludes that constructing a portfolio based on academically/economically sound momentum signals with its allocation timing based on broader economic factors significantly improves managed futures strategies and adds significant diversification benefits to the investors’ portfolios.

Hemodynamic optimization remains the cornerstone of resuscitation in the treatment of sepsis and septic shock. Delay or inadequate management will inevitably lead to hypoperfusion, tissue hypoxia or edema, and fluid overload, leading eventually to multiple organ failure, seriously affecting outcomes. According to a large international survey (FENICE study), physicians frequently use inadequate indices to guide fluid management in intensive care units. Goal-directed and “restrictive” infusion strategies have been recommended by guidelines over “liberal” approaches for several years. Unfortunately, these “fixed regimen” treatment protocols neglect the patient’s individual needs, and what is shown to be beneficial for a given population may not be so for the individual patient. However, applying multimodal, contextualized, and personalized management could potentially overcome this problem. The aim of this review was to give an insight into the pathophysiological rationale and clinical application of this relatively new approach in the hemodynamic management of septic patients.

Studying the folding kinetics of an RNA can provide insight into its function and is thus a valuable method for RNA analyses. Computational approaches to the simulation of folding kinetics suffer from the exponentially large folding space that needs to be evaluated. Here, we present a new approach that combines structure abstraction with evolutionary conservation to restrict the analysis to common parts of folding spaces of related RNAs. The resulting algorithm can recapitulate the folding kinetics known for single RNAs and is able to analyse even long RNAs in reasonable time. Our program RNAliHiKinetics is the first algorithm for the simulation of consensus folding kinetics and addresses a long-standing problem in a new and unique way.

AbstractLocal electrochemical impedance mapping and spectroscopy (LEIM/S) have become important tools for the investigation of local electrochemical breakdown events associated with the degradation of organically coated metals in aqueous environments. LEIM/S of organic coated metal substrates has revealed local degradation events that are distributed spatially and temporally. These observations provide support to a number of long-standing theories, as well as provide new insight into the damage process. The local changes in impedance observed at early stages of immersion support the presence of virtual pores, while the metastability of impedance peaks representing the local changes provide evidence of healing via corrosion product formation. Each of these are long-standing theories used to explain global electrochemical impedance measurements. This paper will provide an overview of some of the events observed using LEIM and examine these results in the context of recent analytical and numerical models. Models used to predict the electric field above an equipotential disk electrode support the interpretation of most experimental LEI data as being representative of chemical and physical phenomenon and not a result of measurement artifact. However, certain features may be an artifact of the finite nature of the experimental process. The interpretation of LEIM events in view of current experimental and modeling results will be discussed.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is the preferred imaging method for a comprehensive orthodontic examination. Thanks to the development of this technique, clinicians today can make most accurate measurements without fear of errors associated with projection distortion or localization of landmarks on radiographs. The quality of CBCT images gives to orthodontists the ability to analyze bone structures, teeth (even impacted teeth), and soft tissue in three dimensions. The accuracy of measurements of hard and soft tissues from CBCT images determines the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning. A fundamentally new approach has been proposed, which makes it possible to thoroughly study the bone tissue surrounding the tooth at the stages of planning orthodontic treatment. Аnalysis of radiation studies of patients with dentoalveolar anomalies was carried out to select the optimal treatment tactics and to control its effectiveness.

[The author offers a new approach to Augustine's understanding of Church and exegesis by concentrating on his practice of preaching about the psalms. More than other biblical books, the psalms were conceived not principally as texts to be explained. Rather, they were the “voice of the whole Christ” that gave expression to a wide variety of experiences of the ecclesial body. The practice/performance of Augustine's preaching is itself theologically significant. Attention to the theological dynamics of his biblical interpretation not only suggests the need to revise categories of “exegesis” and “ecclesiology” when speaking about Augustine but also offers insight into a Church that continues to groan under the burden of scandal.]
