To be specific, consider the statement `classical mechanics is symmetric under mirror inversion' which can be defined as follows: take any motion that satisfies the laws of classical mechanics. Then, reflect the motion into a mirror and imagine that the motion in the mirror is actually happening in front of your eyes, and check if the motion satisfies the same laws of clas- sical mechanics. If it does, then classical mechanics is said to be symmetric under mirror inversion. Or more precisely, if all motions that satisfy the laws of classical mechanics also satisfy them after being re- flected into a mirror, then classical mechanics is said to be symmetric under mirror inversion. In general, suppose one applies certain transformation to a motion that follows certain law of physics, if the resulting motion satisfies the same law, and if such is the case for all motion that satisfies the law, then the law of physics is said to be sym- metric under the given transformation. It is important to use exactly the same law of physics after the transfor- mation is applied. -
An Interpreter's Glossary at a Conference on Recent Developments in the ATLAS Project at CERN
Faculteit Letteren & Wijsbegeerte Jef Galle An interpreter’s glossary at a conference on recent developments in the ATLAS project at CERN Masterproef voorgedragen tot het behalen van de graad van Master in het Tolken 2015 Promotor Prof. Dr. Joost Buysschaert Vakgroep Vertalen Tolken Communicatie 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards prof. dr. Joost Buysschaert, my supervisor, for his guidance and patience throughout this entire project. Furthermore, I wanted to thank my parents for their patience and support. I would like to express my utmost appreciation towards Sander Myngheer, whose time and insights in the field of physics were indispensable for this dissertation. Last but not least, I wish to convey my gratitude towards prof. dr. Ryckbosch for his time and professional advice concerning the quality of the suggested translations into Dutch. ABSTRACT The goal of this Master’s thesis is to provide a model glossary for conference interpreters on assignments in the domain of particle physics. It was based on criteria related to quality, role, cognition and conference interpreters’ preparatory methodology. This dissertation focuses on terminology used in scientific discourse on the ATLAS experiment at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. Using automated terminology extraction software (MultiTerm Extract) 15 terms were selected and analysed in-depth in this dissertation to draft a glossary that meets the standards of modern day conference interpreting. The terms were extracted from a corpus which consists of the 50 most recent research papers that were publicly available on the official CERN document server. The glossary contains information I considered to be of vital importance based on relevant literature: collocations in both languages, a Dutch translation, synonyms whenever they were available, English pronunciation and a definition in Dutch for the concepts that are dealt with. -

Helicity of the Neutrino Determination of the Nature of Weak Interaction
GENERAL ¨ ARTICLE Helicity of the Neutrino Determination of the Nature of Weak Interaction Amit Roy Measurement of the helicity of the neutrino was crucial in identifying the nature of weak interac- tion.

His research interests are in periment on the determination of helicity of the neutrino nuclear, atomic and falls in a similar category among experiments in the field accelerator physics. of modern physics. The experiments on the discovery of parity violation in 1957 [1] had established that the vi- olation parity was maximal in beta decay and that the polarisation of the emitted electron was 100%. This im- plies that its helicity was −1. The helicity of a particle is a measure of the angle (co- sine) between the spin direction of the particle and its momentum direction. H = σ.p,whereσ and p are unit vectors in the direction of the spin and the momentum, respectively. The spin direction of a particle of posi- tive helicity is parallel to its momentum direction, and for that of negative helicity, the directions are opposite (Box 1). -

Parity Alternating Permutations Starting with an Odd Integer
Parity alternating permutations starting with an odd integer Frether Getachew Kebede1a, Fanja Rakotondrajaob aDepartment of Mathematics, College of Natural and Computational Sciences, Addis Ababa University, P.O.Box 1176, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; e-mail: [email protected] bD´epartement de Math´ematiques et Informatique, BP 907 Universit´ed’Antananarivo, 101 Antananarivo, Madagascar; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A Parity Alternating Permutation of the set [n] = 1, 2,...,n is a permutation with { } even and odd entries alternatively. We deal with parity alternating permutations having an odd entry in the first position, PAPs. We study the numbers that count the PAPs with even as well as odd parity. We also study a subclass of PAPs being derangements as well, Parity Alternating Derangements (PADs). Moreover, by considering the parity of these PADs we look into their statistical property of excedance.

Title: Parity Non-Conservation in Β-Decay of Nuclei: Revisiting Experiment and Theory Fifty Years After
Title: Parity non-conservation in β-decay of nuclei: revisiting experiment and theory fifty years after. IV. Parity breaking models. Author: Mladen Georgiev (ISSP, Bulg. Acad. Sci., Sofia) Comments: some 26 pdf pages with 4 figures. In memoriam: Prof. R.G. Zaykoff Subj-class: physics This final part offers a survey of models proposed to cope with the symmetry-breaking challenge. Among them are the two-component neutrinos, the neutrino twins, the universal Fermi interaction, etc. Moreover, the broken discrete symmetries in physics are very much on the agenda and may occupy considerable time for LHC experiments aimed at revealing the symmetry-breaking mechanisms. Finally, an account of the achievements of dual-component theories in explaining parity-breaking phenomena is added. 7. Two-component neutrino In the previous parts I through III of the paper we described the theoretical background as well as the bulk experimental evidence that discrete group symmetries break up in weak interactions, such as the β−decay. This last part IV will be devoted to the theoretical models designed to cope with the parity-breaking challenge. The quality of the proposed theories and the accuracy of the experiments made to check them underline the place occupied by papers such as ours in the dissemination of symmetry-related matter of modern science. 7.1. Neutrino gauge In the general form of β-interaction (5.6) the case Ck' = ±Ck (7.1) is of particular interest. It corresponds to interchanging the neutrino wave function in the parity-conserving Hamiltonian ( Ck' = 0 ) with the function ψν' = (! ± γs )ψν (7.2) In as much as parity is not conserved with this transformation, it is natural to put the blame on the neutrino. -

Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 MHPAEA generally provides that financial requirements (such as coinsurance and copays) and treatment limitations (such as visit limits) imposed on mental health or substance use disorder (MH/SUD) benefits cannot be more restrictive than the predominant financial requirements and treatment limitations that apply to substantially all medical/surgical benefits in a classification.1 In addition, MHPAEA prohibits separate treatment limitations that apply only to MH/SUD benefits. MHPAEA also imposes several important disclosure requirements on group health plans and health insurance issuers.

Readers who want to get to RQM quickly, without studying its foun- dation in special relativity can skip the first sections and start reading from the section 1.3. Intrinsic problems of RQM are discussed and a region of applicability of RQM is defined. Free particle wave functions are constructed and particle interactions are described using their probability currents. A gauge symmetry is introduced to derive a particle interaction with a classical gauge field. 1.1 Special Relativity Einstein’s special relativity is a necessary and fundamental part of any Albert Einstein 1879 - 1955 formalism of particle physics.

On the Parity of the Number of Multiplicative Partitions and Related Problems
PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 140, Number 11, November 2012, Pages 3793–3803 S 0002-9939(2012)11254-7 Article electronically published on March 15, 2012 ON THE PARITY OF THE NUMBER OF MULTIPLICATIVE PARTITIONS AND RELATED PROBLEMS PAUL POLLACK (Communicated by Ken Ono) Abstract. Let f(N) be the number of unordered factorizations of N,where a factorization is a way of writing N as a product of integers all larger than 1. For example, the factorizations of 30 are 2 · 3 · 5, 5 · 6, 3 · 10, 2 · 15, 30, so that f(30) = 5. The function f(N), as a multiplicative analogue of the (additive) partition function p(N), was first proposed by MacMahon, and its study was pursued by Oppenheim, Szekeres and Tur´an, and others. Recently, Zaharescu and Zaki showed that f(N) is even a positive propor- tion of the time and odd a positive proportion of the time. Here we show that for any arithmetic progression a mod m,thesetofN for which f(N) ≡ a(mod m) possesses an asymptotic density. Moreover, the density is positive as long as there is at least one such N. For the case investigated by Zaharescu and Zaki, we show that f is odd more than 50 percent of the time (in fact, about 57 percent). 1. Introduction Let f(N) be the number of unordered factorizations of N,whereafactorization of N is a way of writing N as a product of integers larger than 1. For example, f(12) = 4, corresponding to 2 · 6, 2 · 2 · 3, 3 · 4, 12. -
The ℓ-Parity Conjecture Over the Constant Quadratic Extension
THE `-PARITY CONJECTURE OVER THE CONSTANT QUADRATIC EXTENSION KĘSTUTIS ČESNAVIČIUS Abstract. For a prime ` and an abelian variety A over a global field K, the `-parity conjecture predicts that, in accordance with the ideas of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, the Z`-corank of the `8-Selmer group and the analytic rank agree modulo 2. Assuming that char K ¡ 0, we prove that the `-parity conjecture holds for the base change of A to the constant quadratic extension if ` is odd, coprime to char K, and does not divide the degree of every polarization of A. The techniques involved in the proof include the étale cohomological interpretation of Selmer groups, the Grothendieck–Ogg–Shafarevich formula, and the study of the behavior of local root numbers in unramified extensions. 1. Introduction 1.1. The `-parity conjecture. The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture (BSD) predicts that the completed L-function LpA; sq of an abelian variety A over a global field K extends meromorphically to the whole complex plane, vanishes to the order rk A at s “ 1, and satisfies the functional equation LpA; 2 ´ sq “ wpAqLpA; sq; (1.1.1) where rk A and wpAq are the Mordell–Weil rank and the global root number of A.
