    • Quadratic Hamiltonians in phase-space quantum mechanics 

      Gadella, Manuel; Gracia Bondía, José M.; Nieto, Luis M.; Várilly Boyle, Joseph C. (1989-07)
      The dynamical evolution is described within the phase-space formalism by means of the Moyal propagator, which is the symbol of the evolution operator. Quadratic Hamiltonians on the phase space are distinguished in that ...

      Ownby, Charlotte L.; Gutiérrez, José María; Colberg, Terry R.; Odell, George V. (1982)
      Using a pure myotoxin (myotoxin a) isolated from prairie rattlesnake Crotalus viridis viridis) venom, a comparison between two methods for quantitating myonecrosis in mice was made. Measurement of creatine kinase (CK) ...

      Contreras Rojas, Javier; Hare, Elizabeth; Chavarría Molina, Guadalupe; Raventós Vorst, Henriette (2017)
      Background:Bipolar disorder type I (BPI) affects approximately 1% of the world population. Although geneticinfluences on bipolar disorder are well established, identification of genes that predispose to the illness has ...
    • Quantitative Physiology Approaches to Understand and Optimize Reducing Power Availability in Environmental Bacteria 

      Nikel Mayer, Pablo Iván; Chavarría Vargas, Max (2015-06-04)
      The understanding of how carbon fluxes are distributed through a metabolic network offers an overview of the pathways that a given microorganism uses to produce energy, reducing power, and biomass. These invaluable data ...
    • Quantum electrodynamics in external fields from the spin representation 

      Gracia Bondía, José M.; Várilly Boyle, Joseph C. (1994-07)
      Systematic use of the infinite-dimensional spin representation simplifies and rigorizes several questions in quantum field theory. This representation permutes "Gaussian" elements in the fermion Fock space, and is necessarily ...
    • Quantum ferroelectric instabilities in superconducting SrTiO3 

      Arce Gamboa, José Rafael; Guzmán Verri, Gian Giacomo (2018)
      We examine the effects of strain and cation substitution on the superconducting phase of polar semiconductors near a ferroelectric quantum phase transition with a model that combines a strong coupling theory of ...
    • Quantum gauge models without classical Higgs mechanism 

      Dütsch, Michael; Gracia Bondía, José M.; Scheck, Florian; Várilly Boyle, Joseph C. (2010-09-15)
      We examine the status of massive gauge theories, such as those usually obtained by spontaneous symmetry breakdown, from the viewpoint of causal (Epstein-Glaser) renormalization. The BRST formulation of gauge invariance in ...
    • Quantum symmetry groups of noncommutative spheres 

      Várilly Boyle, Joseph C. (2001-08)
      We show that the noncommutative spheres of Connes and Landi are quantum homogeneous spaces for certain compact quantum groups. We give a general construction of homogeneous spaces which support noncommutative spin geometries.
    • Quantum Theory of Triboelectricity 

      Alicki, Robert; Jenkins Villalobos, Alejandro (2020-10-30)
      We propose a microphysical theory of the triboelectric effect by which mechanical rubbing separates charges across the interface between two materials. Surface electrons are treated as an open system coupled to two baths, ...
    • Quenched distributions for the maximum, minimum and local time of the Brox diffusion 

      Gutiérrez Pavón, Jonathan; Pacheco González, Carlos Gabriel (2021)
      After leaving fixed the environment, which is called the quenchend case, we give explicitly the distribution function of the maximum and the minimum of the Brox diffusion at first time it reaches a barrier. We also give ...
    • Quimica Orgánica Experimental 

      Constenla Umaña, Manuel Arturo; Mata Jiménez, Alfonso, J. (1978)
      Los autores han tratado de reunir en este libro un conjunto de experimentos que permiten al profesor ejemplarizar todas las técnicas fundamentales del laboratorio de Química Orgánica y también ejemplarizar los compuestos ...
    • Radionucleídos naturales y antropogénicos en el estuario del Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica
