Plot summary

The U.S.S. Voyager beams aboard three people just before their damaged ship explodes: an Ilari female named Nori, her injured spouse Tieran and an Ilari male named Adin. Although the Doctor and Kes try to save him, Tieran dies. Not long after, Neelix is shocked when Kes announces she’d like to spend some time apart from him. When Voyager arrives at Ilari, the local leader, known as “the Autarch,” sends a representative to the ship instead of coming himself. Inexplicably, Kes pulls out a phaser, kills the representative and a crewmember, and escapes in a stolen shuttlecraft with Adin and Nori.

Kes takes the shuttle to a military encampment and takes command of the waiting troops. In the meantime, Janeway meets with Demmas, the Autarch’s oldest son, who explains that Kes’ body is now inhabited by Tieran, a former Ilarian ruler who was overthrown by Demmas’ ancestor 200 years ago. Since then, Tieran has lived on by transferring his mind to a series of host bodies. Janeway agrees to help Demmas stop Kes/Tieran, but before she can, the tyrant has killed the Autarch in front of Demmas’ younger brother, Ameron, and appointed himself the new Autarch.

Kes/Tieran tries to poison Ameron’s thoughts against Demmas and urges him to cooperate with the new regime. In the meantime, the Doctor designs a synaptic stimulator that will remove Tieran’s neural pattern from Kes — if they can get close enough to use it. Tuvok beams into the Autarch’s palace, but is caught and imprisoned before he can succeed in the attempt. When Kes/Tieran interrogates Tuvok, the Vulcan is able to initiate a mind-meld and speak directly to Kes, who tells Tuvok she is fighting Tieran for control.

Kes/Tieran orders Voyager to leave orbit, but the stress of the mental battle between Kes and Tieran results in a paranoid Kes/Tieran killing Adin. To Nori’s chagrin, Kes/Tieran announces she’s marrying Ameron. Moments later, a coalition of Voyager’s crew and Demmas’ forces bursts into the palace. Paris releases Tuvok, while Neelix places the synaptic stimulator on Kes/Tieran. Tieran jumps to a new host body — Ameron — but Kes places the device on him and Tieran is finally destroyed. Demmas, the rightful heir, becomes Autarch.

Location of Mambalam
in Chennai and India

Coordinates 13°02?29?N 80°13?59?E? / ?13.0414°N 80.2330°E? / 13.0414; 80.2330

Mambalam is a working class residential and commercial area in the heart of Chennai, India. It is best known for its shops, bazaars and Hindu temples. It is bounded by Kodambakkam to the north and Saidapet to the south. T. Nagar and Nandanam stretch all along its eastern frontiers while K. K. Nagar lies to its west. The Ayodhya Mandapam is an important landmark.

History

Mambalam was an insignificant village on the outskirts of Madras city until the year 1911 when a station was constructed to cater to the newly laid Madras-Kanchipuram railroad which passed through this area. The draining-out of the Long Tank in 1923 triggered an era of development. The adjacent township of Theagaroya Nagar grew up during this time. As T. Nagar evolved into a pure commercial district in the 1950s (contrary to the expectation of its originators), residential localities concentrated along the western part of Mambalam. Its growth entered a new phase in the 1970s and 1980s with rapid development and the needs of a soaring population. Today, it is one of the busiest localities within Chennai with an estimated population of around 100,000.

Places and localities

Some famous localities in Mambalam include Rangarajapuram, Dorasamy Subway, Arya Gowder Road, and Ayodhya Mandapam. Most of Mambalam is categorized under West Mambalam that the region actually regarded as ‘Mambalam’ occupies a very small area.

Mambalam is known for the Siva-Vishnu Temple (near Ranganathan Street) where Lord Shiva and Vishnu are worshiped. The area is known for shops like Saravana Stores, Pothys, RmKV, Chennai Silks and Jeyachandran along with veterans in the Textile business like Nalli & Kumaran Textiles.

Mambalam is also home to the famous Ayodhya Mandapam, Sathyananarayana Temple, Public Health Center and various schools such as Sri Ramakrishna Boys H. Sec. School, Sarada Vidyalaya Girls H. Sec. School, J.G.H.V.M.H.Sec.School, Postal Colony, Sri Sitaram Vidyalaya Mat Hr Secondary School, Ahobila Mutt, BS Mootha and SRM Nightingale.

Unfortunately, the area has witnessed recent gang violence resulting from the impoverished apartments near Ranganathan Street. Subsequently, the relatively small police force has increased its recruitment efforts.

History

The University of La Verne was founded in 1891 as Lordsburg College by members of the Church of the Brethren. Both the surrounding agricultural community and the College were renamed La Verne in 1917. The College reorganized in 1977 as the University of La Verne. At present, the structure of the University consists of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Public Management, the College of Education, the College of Law, and Regional Campuses.

The school conferred its first master’s degree in 1965 and began an adult education program in 1969. ULV awarded its first doctorate in 1979. In 1981, the University founded a campus in Orange County and has since opened campuses throughout southern California.

The University of La Verne is an independent, nonsectarian and non-profit institution.

Building on Excellence Campaign


Founder’s Hall

In January 2007, university President Steve Morgan announced that La Verne had raised more than $33 million toward its five-year Building on Excellence Campaign, which runs from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2008.

The goals of the advancement initiative include:

  • Enhance the campus by updating facilities and infrastructure
  • Increase and encourage research
  • Provide vital financial assistance to those seeking to further their education
  • Strengthen La Verne’s intercollegiate athletic program
  • Expand the university’s leadership and legacy in the field of education
  • Sustain the growth and development of the College of Law

Part of the funds secured during the campaign’s initial two years includes the $17.8 million raised as part of the $21 million Campus Center Project.

The Campus Center Project features construction of the Sara & Michael Abraham Campus Center (student union building offering classrooms, office space, cafe, mail room and conference rooms), creation of the Frank & Nadine Johnson Family Plaza, and renovation of the Sports Science & Athletics Pavilion (formerly known as the “Super Tents”).

District VII of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) honored President Morgan with its Chief Executive Officer Leadership Award in 2006 for his efforts in this campaign.

Bosonic field

Bosonic field

Jump to: navigation, search

In quantum field theory, a bosonic field is a quantum field whose quanta are bosons; that is, they obey Bose-Einstein statistics. Bosonic fields obey canonical commutation relations, as distinct from the canonical anticommutation relations obeyed by fermionic fields.

Examples include scalar fields, describing spin 0 particles such as the Higgs boson, and gauge fields, describing spin 1 particles such as the photon.

Basic properties

Free (non-interacting) bosonic fields obey canonical commutation relations. Those relations also hold for interacting bosonic fields in the interaction picture, where the fields evolve in time as if free and the effects of the interaction are encoded in the evolution of the states. It is these commutation relations that imply Bose-Einstein statistics for the field quanta.

Examples

Examples of bosonic fields include scalar fields, gauge fields, and symmetric 2-tensor fields, which are characterized by their covariance under Lorentz transformations and have spins 0, 1 and 2, respectively. Physical examples, in the same order, are the Higgs field, the photon field, and the graviton field. While the first one remains to be observed, it is widely believed to exist. Of the last two, only the photon field can be quantized using the conventional methods of canonical or path integral quantization. This has led to the theory of quantum electrodynamics, one of the most successful theories in physics. Quantization of gravity, on the other hand, is a long standing problem that has led to development of theories such as string theory and loop quantum gravity.

Spin and statistics

The spin-statistics theorem implies that quantization of local, relativistic field theories in 3+1 dimensions may lead either to bosonic or fermionic quantum fields, i.e., fields obeying commutation or anti-commutation relations, according to whether they have integer or half integer spin, respectively. Thus bosonic fields are one of the two theoretically possible types of quantum field, namely those corresponding to particles with integer spin.

In a non-relativistic many-body theory, the spin and the statistical properties of the quanta are not directly related. In fact, the commutation or anti-commutation relations are assumed based on whether the theory one intends to study corresponds to particles obeying Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics. In this context the spin remains an internal quantum number that is only phenomenologically related to the statistical properties of the quanta. Examples of non-relativistic bosonic fields include those describing cold bosonic atoms, such as Helium-4.

Such non-relativistic fields are not as fundamental as their relativistic counterparts: they provide a convenient ‘re-packaging’ of the many-body wave function describing the state of the system, whereas the relativistic fields described above are a necessary consequence of the consistent union of relativity and quantum mechanics.
