"Lebanon has a culture of energy efficiency"
The Lebanese energy sector is attempting to make up ground in terms of energy efficiency. Interview with Pierre El Khoury, director of the Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC), an organisation affiliated to the Lebanese Ministry of Energy and Water that is charged with drawing up energy efficiency strategies. This is no easy task in a country where the priority remains ensuring a round-the-clock power supply.
econostrum.info : Tell us about the energy sector in Lebanon.
Pierre El Khoury: Lebanon imports 97% of its energy. Our annual energy bill is more than $4 billion (€2.95 billion), with 30% going on transport, 20% on households and the remaining 50% split between Electricité du Liban (EDL; the state-owned energy company) and the industrial, commercial and farming sectors.
In 2010, the Ministry of Energy and Water introduced an ambitious strategic plan aiming to ensure a round-the-clock power supply by 2015 and to end the current rationing, which can last up to 12 hours in some regions.
Lebanon is also awaiting plenty of gas exploration in the Mediterranean, but the situation is currently blocked for political reasons.
What are the major projects under way as part of this strategic plan?
We are working on restoring the existing power plants at Zouk, near Jounieh, where a new 700 MW unit is already in service, and at Jieh to the south of Beirut. In addition, two Turkish barges (Editor's note - floating power stations) are already generating 250 MW. Lebanon's current production capacity is 1,600 MW, but demand is estimated at 2,400 MW.
One of the plan's objectives is to generate 12% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020 by combining several technologies, including wind power, photovoltaic power, solar thermal energy, hydraulic energy and, to a lesser extent, geothermal and biomass energy.
With regard to wind power, for example, several projects are under way to generate 500 MW in Akkar, in the north, and in North Bekaa. We have received four submissions, which must be reviewed by the government. These would be joint ventures between Lebanese companies and international providers.
The sale of electricity is banned since it is the exclusive preserve of EDL, so a system of 'power rental agreements' has been put in place. A great deal of progress is being made, thanks in particular to the NEEREA (National Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Action) financing mechanism set up with the banks by the Bank of Lebanon , which has encouraged businesses and households to take an interest in energy efficiency.
The transport sector is the least active. All the others (manufacturing, real estate and construction) are making progress. There is a real culture of energy efficiency in Lebanon. Manufacturers have embraced the need to save energy, and many of them have turned to photovoltaic power. On the other hand, the building code needs to be amended, but that is not a priority for now.
What about the projects supported by the EIB?
The EIB and the French Development Agency (AFD) have approved a new €65 million line of credit to support the NEEREA mechanism. We are just awaiting approval from the Lebanese parliament. The LCEC gets €5 million of technical assistance from the European Union.

Q: Existence of a cofree functor (right adjoint) Given is the forgetful functor: $U: Grp \rightarrow Set$. I've already seen that we can construct a left adjoint $F: Set \rightarrow Grp$ to this functor by introducing the free functor, which associates to any set $X \in Set$ the free group $F(X)$.
Now I want to check if there is a right adjoint to our forgetful functor, let's say it is the functor $R: Set \rightarrow Grp$. If we had a right adjoint, we'd have a bijection between hom-sets, namely $Hom_{Grp}(R(X), G) \simeq Hom_{Set}(X, U(G))$ for any set $X \in Set$ and $G \in Grp$.
I guess there is no such a right adjoint to the forgetful functor $U$ but I don't know how to show it. Can anybody help me, please? Thank you very much!

Q: Bulk Data Loading and Transaction Log I'm currently working on a project which bulk import data from flat files (csv) about 18 different files each linking to a specific table through some stored procedure.
I followed the steps as  advised in Data Loading Performance guide.
The database is in BulkLogged recovery mode to minimize the logging, when executing the stored procedure below on a file containing 600000 rows I get an error

Msg 9002, Level 17, State 4, Procedure SP_Import__DeclarationClearanceHistory_FromCSV, Line 34
  The transaction log for database  is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

(for testing purposes I do a full backup before starting the import).
Looking at the log_reuse_wait_desc I see the following:

log_reuse_wait_desc CHECKPOINT. All other import get imported successfully.

Any input in solving this would be welcomed.

A: When you see CHECKPOINT as the log_reuse_wait_desc for that database, it is because no checkpoint has happened since the last time the log was truncated.
You can alleviate this issue by manually kicking off a CHECKPOINT command.
Supporting references:
Factors That Can Delay Log Truncation
Checkpoints and the Active Portion of the Log

A: My first comment is that you are doing an ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) rather than an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load). While ELTs leverage set based relational advantages and can be very fast, they are sometimes very write intensive (hard on storage). Specifically, the t-log. This is because the transform is done on disk (typically an update or insert). I prefer ETL when possible, as the transform is done in the buffer and, when done correctly, requires minimal t-log writes. Buffer is cheap. Fast storage is not. For some bulk operations, the t-log is a non-value adding bottleneck.
Here are a few things that you're doing but I wouldn't recommend.

*

*Bulk loading to tempdb. I'd recommend doing the bulk load on a real table in the destination database. Then you can size you're files accordingly and not worry about impacting tempdb.

*Bundling independent procedures together. Split these two procedures up. The bulk load and the merge are independent of each other. Splitting them into individual procedures makes them more modular / unit testable.

It looks like you have the minimal logging rules covered pretty well. You're loading to an empty B-Tree with no non-clustereds, using tf 610, the ordering key specified, in bulk-logged mode. Outside of the temp table, everything looks ok here. As long as the file is actually ordered by the key, you should be good. Are you popping the log on tempdb or the user database?
On the merge statement:
UPDATES will always be fully logged. Are you changing a pretty significant portion of your table? If so, you might consider doing the merge in memory (SSIS data flow task or .Net) then bulk loading into a new table. This is more work, but most of the work is done in the buffer and minimal t-log is used. A minimally logged insert can be faster than a fully logged update if the portion of change is significant.
Since you're using tf 610, the insert can minimally log when using a tablock hint. See here for more info on merge with tablock: Link Note, the update will still be fully logged if you go this route.

Home » Candidate explains views on abortion
Candidate explains views on abortion
Published by Fines on Sun, 11/04/2018 - 15:56
Ronna Ford
Editor's note: The following letter to the editor was written by Ronna Ford, the Democratic candidate for the 129th district for the Missouri House of Representatives. Ford wrote this letter last week but accidentally sent it to the wrong email address. Had the Laclede Record received the email, we would have printed it. Because we did run a letter that was pro-Republican and anti-Democrat, I am posting this letter online for people to read. I will also be posting the pro-Republican letter online as well.
Ford is facing off against Republican incumbent Rep. Jeff Knight on Tuesday.
For the past year, I've been going door-to-door in Laclede and Dallas counties. In the past few weeks, an exceptional number of people have asked me to clarify my views on abortion. It's much easier to address it in print than on the fly because the issue is complex and it should be. Women don't have babies in the abstract. They bear them in a complicated and imperfect world. I find it so hard to boil my views down to some quick party-aligned label. My opponent likes to claim that he's "pro life." Well what does that really mean?
To me, being "pro life" is about caring for the lives of women and children and babies. Not in the rhetorical sense, but in the sense that there are real, practical things we can do to improve peoples' lives. When we improve access to affordable housing, the abortion rate falls. When poor women have access to safe and reliable transportation, the abortion rate falls. When poor women have good-quality health insurance and affordable childcare, the abortion rate falls. When we fully fund sex ed, the abortion rate falls. When contraceptives are free and easy to get, the abortion rate falls.
Here's what doesn't work: making abortion illegal without any thought to the needs of struggling women. We've tried that before. We know how that movie ends. During the 1860s, a flurry of states criminalized abortion. Over the course of that decade, dozens of anti-abortion laws were put on the books, but historians say the demand for abortion didn't even dip. It did have a big effect, though. Abortion was illegal in the U.S. for more than century, from the 1860s to 1973. During that period, scores of women served time in jail. Many went to the morgue. Nearly half of all maternal deaths in New York in 1967 were from illegal abortions. Doesn't sound very pro-life to me.
Four years ago, a health research team interviewed hundreds of women who had had abortions. What they found was this: the vast majority of them were 200 percent of the federal poverty line. Almost all of them had a least one child already. Almost universally, they told the interviewers that poverty was the driving force behind their decision to seek an abortion. Making something illegal doesn't make it go away. If we really want to change things, then we need to make life better for women. It's not the easy answer, but it's the only thing that's going to actually work.
Thank you printing this statement. I hope to see everybody out on Tuesday!

India's Sun sees sharp Q1 profit drop, but Shanghvi not worried
Aug 12, 2015 6:06am
Dilip Shanghvi
India's top drugmaker and fifth largest in generics globally saw net profit plunge 60% in the first quarter of its financial year as it absorbed costs from its takeover of Ranbaxy Laboratories earlier in 2015, but founder and managing director Dilip Shanghvi pledged that integration would eventually bring greater rewards.
Sun said that in the first full quarter since it bought Ranbaxy Laboratories in an all-share deal from Japan's Daiichi Sankyo valued around $4 billion, net profit slid to INR4.79 billion ($74.5 million) in the quarter ended June 30, from INR12 billion in the same period a year earlier, on revenues that grew just 3% to INR65.2 billion, using adjusted figures.
But on an Aug. 10 earnings call with analysts, Shanghvi confirmed much of a July 20 warning on earnings of flat revenues and costs to overhaul operations and fix plants now under ban or scrutiny by the U.S. FDA. The surprise warning saw shares plunge--but then rebound as word on the street was that the company had a solid recovery plan that would build on all of the assets.
On Tuesday, Shanghvi said that the plan to bring all of the resources together was on track.
"Our focus has been to find a way to achieve these synergies as early as possible," he said. "And we are only talking about recurring synergies in this number. We are not talking about one-time synergy. So I would say that a large part of this synergy will come from procurement, then revenue synergy, productivity improvement and longer term I think major success we will be able to drive is from productivity increase in our R&D, so that we can file more complex and more products globally."
Shanghvi, who was dubbed India's richest man earlier this year after the acquisition, hinted that cultural issues between the companies also played a part.
"We acquired a sizeable business that was run very differently from the way in which the Sun business is run," Shanghvi said. In 2013, Ranbaxy pleaded guilty to charges in the U.S. of selling adulterated drugs and agreed to a record $500 million fine and other steps in a consent agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice.
He also said that investors should be open to more costs related to the transaction.
"Some one-off charges would continue in the near future but we expect the magnitude of the charges to be significantly less going forward," he said.
In April, Daiichi Sankyo sold its remaining 8.9% stake in Sun, exiting a deal that saw it purchase Ranbaxy for $4.6 billion in 2008 to expand globally only to run into a storm of manufacturing and management woes.
In July, Sun outlined a plan to work triage on four Ranbaxy manufacturing plants banned by the U.S. FDA in the past 5 years. And that may mean one unit may not make it, the Economic Times reported.
The plan now is to get the plants in Mohali, Dewas and Toansa back online in an orderly fashion, placing a priority on Mohali, and leaving the plant in Poanta Sahib to take down its former lead role to the U.S. market and keep producing for other markets, including the World Health Organization as well as Europe and Australia, the Economic Times said.
In addition to the Ranbaxy unit, a plant owned by Sun at Halol also has to clear U.S. FDA regulatory hurdles.

today.. Wanted to wake early to read but omg. I finally peeled myself outta my bed around 2pm. Then my brother came and asked if i want mcdelivery take out. I sucumbed to the temptation unfortunately.
I find that im cheating so much lately. 😦 i meant to avoid ALL PROCESSED FOOD but find my discipline waning. 😑 i need to stepup my game!
Skin feels not too bad today except my left leg is really tight and swollen. Im so not looking forward to work tomorrow. Also, im sneezing so much today. Im not sure if its flu or an allergic reaction 😦 my father was experiencing some flu-ish reactions afew days ago, i hope he has not passed it to me!

Elliott's Christmas plans hinge on weather
Mengli Khan is one of the stars being readied
Gordon Elliott has a close eye on the weather as he formulates plans for an army of horses over the busy Christmas period.
Like many, Elliott is hoping for rain, with big targets ahead at both Leopardstown and Limerick.
Elliott said: "We don't know what way the ground is going to be yet. I was going through the board and I think we've 130 or 140 horses for Christmas, from St Stephen's Day to the New Year.
"I'm looking forward to Mengli Khan, obviously, in the two-mile novice chase, Delta Work and Apple's Jade.
"They're the obvious ones, and we've a lot of other young horses that we're looking forward to as well.
"The ground is going to be a big factor, and we need to see what way it's going to come in the next week.
"Everyone says it's going to be OK and it's going to come. It's frightening to think that it could turn up on the quicker side at Leopardstown."
Elliott again reported Samcro in good shape for the Ryanair Hurdle – and reaffirmed his view reigning two-mile champion Buveur D'Air will be difficult to dethrone at Cheltenham in March.
He said: "He's in good form. He got beat fair and square the last day, and there was no excuse.
"Whatever he does in Leopardstown, everyone is going to have to be on their A-game to try to beat Buveur D'air on the performance I saw the last day."

"This collection of stories by Tim Weed is grounded in the specificity of its settings, all of which contain hazards of one kind or another: a mountain lake, a jungle peak, an Amazonian river, a prairie giving way to construction, a seashore suddenly overcome by the tide, a city stuck in the past, a snowy slope (or two). But it is also full of mystery, and much of the mystery is cosmic . . . It is written so deftly, with such a light touch, that suspense builds in each story like a gathering storm." — Patrick Joyce, Midwest Book Review
"Weed begins with the assumption that his readers are ready and able to see that the world is not as it seems. Humans and their sometimes mysterious natures are all it takes for Weed to spin fiction of the first order." — The Brattleboro Reformer
"Like other talented writers in this genre, Weed is not hampered by the brevity of the medium . . . His denouements are unpredictable and sometimes even merely hinted at, leaving the reader to fall back on his or her own imagination as to how the tale ends, which sounds frustrating but is actually quite a tantalizing device." — Trout Fisherman (UK)
"[In "Tower Eight"] Weed delves into adolescent friendship and the idea of being an outsider with great care for his characters. The tale begins and ends with one character musing on the reality of the other. The surreal ploy is subtle enough to bring the story into the realm of good literature, making the reader question perceptions of reality . . . Weed's prose is weightless, and weighty, all at once." — Seven Days

The Beginning of Quinta do Torneiro
According to the Oeiras Municipality Archives, Quinta do Torneiro dates back to 1581 belonging to Pero Fernandes Torneiro and his wife who lived in Lisbon. The fertile lands, the mildness of the weather, the proximity to Lisbon and at the same time to the sea justified the establishment of several properties (Quinta in Portuguese) in the area of Oeiras like Quinta do Torneiro, an important element of the municipal heritage.
We know the building as it exists today dates back to the 18th century but it could have used pre-existing structures from the 16th century. The characteristics of the building are typical of this time with the chapel deserving a special emphasis. As inscribed on the portal, the year 1718 shows the importance given to the chapel as a symbol of the harmony between daily life and religious experience. The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of the Holy Angels and the several blue and white tiled panels have scenes related to Nativity and Annunciation. We must not forget that the tiles portraying religious scenes have an educational role at this time when most of the population is illiterate and masses are in Latin.
THE BEST PLACE FOR YOUR EVENT IN PORTUGAL
The gardens of manor houses were also of great importance as ample spaces for games, walks, theatrical representations as well as music and dance recitals. The outdoor areas were spaces for conviviality and social life, giving prestige to the family it belonged to.
The tiles at Quinta do Torneiro have been studied by reputed researchers in the field and are maintained in very good condition. Tiles are not only to decorate but are a way of recreating the world and to transmit values. The scenes that are portrayed have an historical and ethnographic value, showing ways of life, cultural habits, values and even landscapes of that time.
At Quinta do Torneiro there are several tile panels that deserve our attention: 1) Chapel tiles dating back to 1718; 2) Blue and white tiles in 3 of the rooms with burlesque and Carnival scenes, dance, maritime and hunting scenes.
In all these panels we must point out the framework which is made out of round lobes painted in a strong blue of Dutch inspiration.
The panels in the dining room are considered to be one of the most notable works of neoclassic tilework in Portugal, from the end of the 18th century, revealing an exceptional quality. Looking at all these magnificent tiles, one may actually conclude that tilery is one of the greatest expressions of Portuguese art of the 18th century.
The 18th century also reflects the golden era of the noble house in Portugal, mostly related to the flow of wealth from Brazil, namely gold, diamonds and sugar as well as the economic development that characterized this period. We find examples of these houses on the outskirts of Lisbon and in particular in the Municipality of Oeiras where Quinta do Torneiro is a perfect example of the lifestyle of this period and with a great patrimonial value.
Nowadays, you may organize your wedding or event at this historical venue and enjoy all the cultural richness it has to offer. Contact us to find out how you can make your dream come true!

Q: Transition to CakePHP2 I am familar with CakePHP 1.3 and I would like to learn the novelties in CakePHP2.
I know there is the new cookbook and also the migration guide. Still, I would like something broader than the migration guide without having to read all the cookbook again. I am thinking about something like a series of blog posts, in the spirit of the Django advent.
Is there anything like this around?

A: At CakeFest this year Mark Story gave a presentation on the changes and they posted it as a video of changes in 2.0. I found this to be a good high-level intro and might fit what you're looking for.
The other presentations from CakeFest 2011 might be useful to you too.

A: I think the only things you need is 2.0 Migration Guide and New Features in CakePHP 2.0. Other thing is practice.

We've been having the exception: java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException: Input length = 1 come up in our application recently. It has been difficult to reproduce but after some digging I believe it is related to the position of some Unicode characters in our content. We have some very long strings translated to French. When this started showing up I found that simply adding a space (anywhere, randomly) would resolve the issue.
It seems to centre around the chunking that's done between the byte buffer and char buffer. If (in the above unit test) I increase the size of the string to 2 times the buffers min size and step through the readUTF method I can see the char buffer ends up with 1 remaining slot but is never filled. This goes on and on until the length is 0, at this point the decoder flags it as malformed input.
Any feedback on this would be great!

Client Success Story: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
April 9, 2018 by Jeremy Marshall
About a month ago we had the pleasure of meeting Elaine. Elaine was passing through Grand Junction, on her way to one of the area's many ski resorts.
Elaine liked to travel, in fact, since retiring she has spent a majority of her time traveling and taking pictures. Just like most everyone these days, Elaine takes her pictures using her smart phone. In fact, she takes so many pictures that she occasionally plugs her phone into her laptop to transfer all the pictures, so that she can make some room on her phone for more photos.
When Elaine turned on her laptop so that she could read the news while having her morning coffee in her hotel room, she was greeted with a black screen. She tried waiting, but nothing happened. Elaine then tried restarting the computer, but the screen remained black.
That's when Elaine got on her phone and used Google to look for someone who could help.
Elaine called us, citing our reviews on Google, and told us about her situation. It sounded like Elaine was in a bit of a pickle, so we had her bring her laptop down to our office so that we could take a look.
While chatting with Elaine, we were told about how she uses her laptop as a way of storing all of the photos that she takes on her travels. Needless to say, she was extremely concerned about all of her pictures.
After assuring Elaine that we would do whatever we could to save all her pictures, we got to work.
It didn't take long to determine that a botched Windows update was the reason that her computer wasn't booting up. After doing a little more poking around, we decided that the best thing to do would be to pull all of the data, completely reinstall Windows 10, and migrate the data back on to the laptop.
We quickly learned that Elaine wasn't kidding when she said that she has a lot of pictures on her computer. Almost 200 Gigabytes of photos alone had to be pulled off the laptop before we could proceed with reinstalling Windows. Once the pictures were backed up, everything else was a breeze.
When Elaine came to pick up her laptop, we had a brief sit-down, and discussed how she was backing up her photos, and brainstormed a better way for her to get the job done.
We ended up setting her up with Dropbox on her phone and computer, and taught her how to upload her files so that they would be saved in the cloud and synced to her laptop. She was absolutely ecstatic when she uploaded her first set of photos on her own.
After the work was done, we sat with Elaine for a while as she showed us some of the pictures from her many travels all around the world over a nice cup of green tea.

\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}
Over a wide range of the single-particle (SP) energies, the nucleon motion in medium
is overwhelmingly governed by the nuclear mean field, known as the shell-model
potential for bound states and the optical potential (OP) for scattering states.
The mean-field, SP potential is also the key quantity in the many-body studies
of the equation of state of nuclear matter (NM) as well as the structure
of finite nuclei \cite{Mah85,Bal07}. The nucleon OP in the NM limit has been well
studied in the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) calculations of NM using the free
nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction \cite{Bal07,Bom91,Zuo99,Zuo14}, or the mean-field
calculation of NM on the Hartree-Fock (HF) level using different choices of the
effective NN interaction \cite{Kho93,Kho95,Xu10,Che12,Loa15}. The mean-field
prediction for the nucleon OP in the NM limit provides a vital input for the
microscopic models of the nucleon OP of finite nuclei. In particular, the
widely-used folding model of the nucleon OP (see, e.g.,
Refs.~\cite{Loa15,Kho02,Kho07,Minomo}).

The microscopic many-body studies of NM have shown the important role by the
Pauli blocking effects, and the increasing strength of the three-body interaction
as well as other higher-order NN correlations at high densities of NM \cite{Bal07}.
These in-medium effects are effectively taken into account by the density dependence
explicit embedded in different versions of the effective NN interaction used in the
nuclear structure and nuclear reactions studies. In the present work, we focus on
the CDM3Yn density dependent versions \cite{Kho97} of the M3Y-Paris interaction
\cite{An83} which have been successfully used in the HF studies of NM
\cite{Kho93,Kho95,Kho96,Tha09,Loa11} as well as in the folding model calculation
of the nucleon and nucleus-nucleus OP \cite{Kho02,Kho07,Kho97,Kho07r,Kho09,Kho14}.
In general, the folding model calculation of the nucleon OP is done on the HF level,
and the folded OP lacks, therefore, the higher-order \emph{rearrangement} term that
arises naturally in the Landau theory of infinite Fermi systems \cite{Mig67}.
Such a rearrangement term (RT) also presents in the SP potential when it is determined
from the total energy of NM using the Hugenholtz-van Hove (HvH) theorem \cite{HvH,Sat99},
which is exact for all the interacting Fermi systems, independent of the interaction
between fermions. In our recent HF study of NM \cite{Loa15}, the density dependence
of the CDM3Yn interaction (with n=3,6) was modified to reproduce on the HF level
the SP potential obtained from the total NM energy using the HvH theorem.
A strong impact of the RT on the strength and shape of the folded nucleon
OP was found \cite{Loa15} essential for a good optical model (OM) description of the
elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering at energies of 30.4 and 40 MeV.

Because the standard local approximation \cite{Kho02} was used in Ref.~\cite{Loa15}
to localize the (Fock-type) exchange term of the folded OP, it remains uncertain
how the RT affects the OM results of elastic nucleon scattering when the antisymmetrization
of the nucleon-nucleus\  system is exactly taken into account, and the folded nucleon OP becomes
{\em nonlocal}. Although some versions of the nonlocal folding model with the exact
treatment of the exchange term are already available in the literature (see, e.g.,
Ref.~\cite{Minomo}), none of them has included the RT into the HF-type folding model
calculation. Therefore, the main goal of the present study is to explore the impact
of the rearrangement contribution to the OM description of nucleon elastic scattering
by the nonlocal folded nucleon OP that treats the exchange kernel exactly. For this
purpose, a compact nonlocal version of the folding model of the nucleon OP is suggested,
where the RT is taken into account using the modified density dependence of the CDM3Yn
interaction suggested in Ref.~\cite{Loa15}. As an important mean-field aspect of the SP
potential, the RT is always explicitly taken into account in numerous variational HF
calculations of nuclear structure using the effective density-dependent NN interaction.
However, the RT has been so far neglected in most of the HF-type folding model
calculations of the nucleon OP, i.e., the single-nucleon potential at positive energies.
Our present research is expected to shed light on the important role of the RT in the
OM description of elastic nucleon scattering using the nonlocal folded OP. Furthermore,
a consistent folding model for the nonlocal nucleon mean-field potential including
the RT should also be of interest for the studies of nuclear reactions at low energies,
in particular, those relevant for the nuclear astrophysics, where the effect of the
nonlocality of the nucleon-nucleus\  potential has been shown to be quite significant \cite{Bail17,Tian18}.

In general, solving the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a nonlocal potential readily
leads to an integro-differential equation that is more complicated to solve than
a standard differential equation with a local potential. For the elastic nucleon
scattering, the use of the nonlocal OP leads to an explicit angular-momentum
dependence of the integral equation. At variance with the traditional methods
for the solution of the integro-differential equation, we have chosen in the present
work the calculable $R$-matrix method \cite{desco} to solve the OM equation
with the nonlocal folded nucleon OP. This $R$-matrix method was recently extended
\cite{desco, desco2} to include the Lagrange mesh and Gauss-Legendre quadrature
integration that significantly simplify the numerical calculation. This method
was tested in our recent OM analysis \cite{Loa18} of elastic nucleon scattering
on different targets at energies up to 40 MeV, using the phenomenological nonlocal
nucleon OP \cite{Perey,TPM,Lovel,Lovel2}. To validate the present nonlocal folding
model of the nucleon OP, the OM results given by the nonlocal folded OP are also
compared with those given by the global parametrization of the nonlocal nucleon OP
suggested recently \cite{TPM,Lovel,Lovel2} using the analytical form of the
Perey-Buck nonlocal form factor \cite{Perey}.

\section{Single-particle potential in nuclear matter}
\label{sec1}
Because an effective, density dependent NN interaction is the key input
for the folding model calculation of the nucleon OP, we discuss first the
density dependent CDM3Yn interaction which is based on the mean-field
description of the SP potential in NM. Originally, parameters of the
density dependence of the CDM3Yn interaction were parametrized \cite{Kho97}
to reproduce the saturation properties of symmetric NM in the HF calculation.
Later on, these parameters were updated to include a realistic isovector part
\cite{Loa15,Kho07}. On the HF level, the CDM3Yn interaction is proven to give
a good description of the EOS of NM \cite{Loa11}. As an illustration, we show
in Fig.~\ref{f1} the HF results for the NM energy per nucleon obtained with the
CDM3Yn interaction in comparison with the results of the \emph{ab initio}
variational calculation of NM using the Argonne V18 interaction \cite{Ak98}.
One can see a nice agreement of the HF results with those of the ab initio calculation,
especially, at low densities up to the saturation density $\rho_0\approx 0.16$ fm$^{-3}$
which is known to be accessible by elastic nucleon-nucleus\  scattering. In the present work, we
focus particularly on the impact of the RT in the folding model description of the
nonlocal nucleon OP, given a significant contribution by the RT to the \emph{local}
folded nucleon OP shown in Ref.~\cite{Loa15}.
\begin{figure}[bht]\vspace*{0cm}\hspace*{1cm}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{fig1.eps}\vspace*{-1cm}
\caption{Energy per nucleon of the symmetric NM and pure neutron matter

$\rho_0\approx 0.16$ fm$^{-3}$. The circles are results of the ab initio
variational calculation by Akmal, Pandharipande and Ravenhall (APR)
\cite{Ak98}.} \label{f1}
\end{figure}

In general, according to Landau theory for an infinite system of interacting
fermions \cite{Mig67}, the single-nucleon energy is determined \cite{Loa15} as
the derivative of the energy per nucleon $\varepsilon\equiv E/A$ of NM
with respect to the nucleon momentum distribution $n_\tau(k)$ as
\begin{equation}
 E_{\tau}(\rho,k)=\frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial n_\tau(k)}=
\frac{\hbar^2 k^2}{2m_\tau}+U_{\tau}(\rho,k),\ {\rm where}\ \tau=n\
{\rm or}\ p. \label{eq1}
\end{equation}
$E_{\tau}(\rho,k)$ is, thus, the change of the energy of NM at the nucleon density
$\rho$ caused by the removal or addition of a nucleon with the momentum $k$.
The SP potential $U_{\tau}(\rho,k)$ consists of both the HF and rearrangement
terms
\begin{equation}
 U_{\tau}(\rho,k)= U^{\rm (HF)}_{\tau}(\rho,k)+U^{\rm (RT)}_{\tau}(\rho,k).
 \label{eq2}
\end{equation}
The explicit expressions of $U_{\tau}(k)$ obtained in the HF calculation of NM
using a density dependent NN interaction have been given in Ref.\cite{Loa15}.
At the Fermi momentum $(k\to k_F),\ E_\tau(k_F)$ determined from Eqs.~(\ref{eq1})
and (\ref{eq2}) is exactly the Fermi energy given by the Hugenholtz-van Hove (HvH)
theorem \cite{HvH}.
We note that the HvH theorem is satisfied on the HF level only when the effective
NN interaction is density independent, with the RT equal zero \cite{Loa15,Cze02}.
In the mean-field calculation (\ref{eq1})-(\ref{eq2}) of the SP potential, the RT
originates naturally from the density dependence of the effective NN interaction that
presumably accounts for the higher-order NN correlations as well as the three-body
force. Indeed, the RT was shown in the BHF studies of the SP potential
in NM \cite{Mah85,Zuo99,Zuo14} to be due to the higher-order terms like the
second-order diagram in the perturbative expansion of the mass operator or
contribution from the three-body forces.

For the spin-saturated NM, the direct (D) and exchange (EX) terms of the central
part of the CDM3Yn interaction \cite{Kho97,Kho07} are used explicitly in the HF
calculation of the SP potential in NM
\begin{equation}
 v_{\rm D(EX)}(\rho,s)=F_0(\rho)v^{\rm D(EX)}_{00}(s) +
 F_1(\rho)v^{\rm D(EX)}_{01}(s) \bm{\tau}_1\cdot\bm{\tau}_2. \label{eq3}
\end{equation}
The radial parts of the isoscalar (IS) and isovector (IV) two-body force
$v^{\rm D(EX)}_{00(01)}(s)$ are kept unchanged as determined from the original
M3Y-Paris interaction \cite{An83}, in terms of three Yukawas. The parameters of the IS
density dependence $F_0(\rho)$ were determined in the HF calculation \cite{Kho97}
to reproduce the empirical saturation point of symmetric NM, with the nuclear
incompressibility $K$ around 230 MeV (see Fig.~\ref{f1}). The parameters of the IV
density dependence $F_1(\rho)$ were determined and fine tuned \cite{Loa15}
by the isospin dependence of nucleon OP in asymmetric NM given by the BHF
calculation by Jeukenne, Lejeune and Mahaux (JLM) \cite{Je77} and folding
model description of the charge exchange $(p,n)$ scattering to the isobar analog
states in medium-mass nuclei \cite{Kho14}. Based on the exact expression of the RT
of the SP potential given by the HvH theorem at different densities of NM, a compact
method was suggested \cite{Loa15} to account for the RT on the HF level. Namely,
the density dependence of the CDM3Yn interaction is added by a correction term
originated from the RT, $F_{0(1)}(\rho)\to F_{0(1)}(\rho)+\Delta F_{0(1)}(\rho)$,
so that the total SP potential can be calculated on the standard HF level
\begin{equation}
\hskip -1.5cm U_{\tau}(\rho,k)=\sum_{k'\sigma'\tau'}
 \langle \bm{k}\sigma\tau,\bm{k}'\sigma'\tau'|v_{\rm D}|
 \bm{k}\sigma\tau,\bm{k}'\sigma'\tau'\rangle +
 \langle \bm{k}\sigma\tau,\bm{k}'\sigma'\tau'|v_{\rm EX}|
 \bm{k}'\sigma\tau,\bm{k}\sigma'\tau'\rangle,  \label{eq4}
\end{equation}
where $|\bm{k}\sigma\tau\rangle$ are the ordinary plane waves. Treating explicitly
the isospin dependence, the SP potential (\ref{eq4}) can be expressed \cite{Loa15}
in terms of the IS and IV components as
\begin{equation}
\hskip -1.5cm U_\tau(\rho,k)=[F_0(\rho)+\Delta F_0(\rho)]U^{\rm (M3Y)}_0(\rho,k)
\pm [F_1(\rho)\pm \Delta F_1(\rho)]U^{\rm (M3Y)}_1(\rho,k), \label{eq5}
\end{equation}
where (-) sign pertains to $\tau=p$ and (+) sign to $\tau=n$. $U^{\rm (M3Y)}_{0}$ and
$U^{\rm (M3Y)}_1$ are the IS and IV parts of the SP potential, respectively, given
by the HF calculation of NM using the original density independent M3Y interaction.
More details on the density dependent functions $F_{0(1)}(\rho), \Delta F_{0(1)}(\rho)$,
and $U^{\rm (M3Y)}_{0(1)}(\rho,k)$ are given in Ref.~\cite{Loa15}. Because the original
M3Y interaction is momentum independent, the momentum- or energy dependence of the SP
potential (\ref{eq5}) is entirely determined by the exchange terms of $U^{\rm (M3Y)}_{0(1)}$.
It is obvious from Eq.~(\ref{eq1}) that the in-medium nucleon momentum $k$ is
determined self-consistently from the SP energy $E_\tau$ as
\begin{equation}
 k=\sqrt{\frac{2m_\tau}{\hbar^2}[E_\tau(\rho,k)-U_\tau(\rho,k)]}. \label{eq6}
\end{equation}

With the density dependence of the CDM3Yn interaction fine tuned to reproduce the
saturation properties of NM as shown in Fig.~\ref{f1}, the present HF approach
provides a continuous description of both the SP potential for nucleons bound in NM,
$U_{\tau}(\rho,k)$ with $k<k_F$, and the nucleon optical potential, $U_{\tau}(\rho,k)$
with $k>k_F$. This is the well-known \emph{continuous approximation} for the
SP potential \cite{Mah85,Mah91}, where the nucleon OP in NM is determined as
the mean-field potential felt by a nucleon incident on NM at the energy $E>0$.
Complying with the Landau theory for a system of interacting fermions \cite{Mig67},
the nucleon OP (or the SP potential at positive energies) is also determined by the
relations (\ref{eq1}) and (\ref{eq2}), so that the nucleon OP consists again
of both the HF term and RT. The IS part of the nucleon OP, i.e., the nucleon OP
in symmetric NM is determined as
\begin{eqnarray}
\hskip -1cm U_0(E,\rho)&=& [F_0(\rho)+\Delta F_0(\rho)]
 U^{\rm (M3Y)}_0\big(\rho,k(E,\rho)\big) \nonumber\\
 &=& [F_0(\rho)+\Delta F_0(\rho)]\left[J^D_0+\int\hat j_1(k_Fr)j_0
 \big(k(E,\rho)r\big)v^{\rm EX}_{00}(r)d^3r\right], \label{eq7}
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{equation}
\hskip -1cm {\rm where}\ J^{\rm D}_0=\int v_{00}^{\rm D}(r)d^3r, \
\hat{j_1}(x)=3j_1(x)/x\ =\ 3(\sin x-x\cos x)/x^3. \nonumber
\end{equation}
$k(E,\rho)$ is the in-medium momentum of the incident nucleon propagating
in the mean field of bound nucleons in NM, and is determined by the same
relation (\ref{eq6}) but with $E_\tau$ replaced by the incident energy $E$.
Within the time-independent HF formalism, the energy- and momentum dependences
of the nucleon OP are treated on the same footing via the relation (\ref{eq6})
as illustrated in Fig.~\ref{f2}.

fit of the calculated potential (\ref{eq7}) at $E>0$ to the empirical data
(solid line).} \label{f2}
\end{figure}
Therefore, an important constraint for the present study is that at $E>0$ the energy
dependence of the potential (\ref{eq7}) should agree reasonably with the observed
energy dependence of the nucleon OP. The total SP potential in symmetric NM (\ref{eq7})
evaluated at $\rho_0$ using the CDM3Y6 interaction is compared with the empirical
data \cite{BM69,Var91,Hama} in Fig.~\ref{f2}. One can see that the inclusion of the RT
significantly improves the agreement with the empirical data at low energies ($E<50$ MeV).
The HF results shown in Fig.~\ref{f1} also confirms that at low energies the energy
dependence of the nucleon OP is mainly determined by the Fock-type exchange term
of the nucleon OP, i.e., by the antisymmetrization effect. At higher energies,
the agreement worsens, and this is a well expected effect, because the energy
dependence of the nucleon OP in NM was shown in the microscopic BHF calculation
\cite{Mah91} to originate not only from the exchange part, but also from the direct
part of the Brueckner G-matrix. To have a realistic momentum dependence of the nucleon
OP at higher energies or momenta, the nucleon OP given by the HF calculation was
scaled \cite{Loa15} by a momentum dependent function $g(k)$ determined from the $\chi^2$
fit to the empirical data, $U(\rho,E)=g(k(E,\rho))U_0(\rho,E)$ (see Fig.~\ref{f2}).
In the present work, we focus on the folding model analysis of elastic nucleon
scattering at low energies ($E\leqslant 45$ MeV), and assume $g(k)\approx 1$ in the
folding calculation of the nucleon OP.

\section{Folding model of the nucleon optical potential}
\subsection{Nucleon folded OP with a nonlocal exchange kernel}
\label{sec2}
The folding model of the nucleon OP is known to generate the first-order
term of the microscopic nucleon OP within the Feshbach's formalism
of nuclear reactions \cite{Fe92}. The success of the folding approach in the
description of elastic nucleon-nucleus\  scattering at low and medium energies confirms that the
first-order term of the Feshbach's microscopic OP is indeed the dominant part
of the nucleon OP. Applying the \emph{local density approximation} (LDA), commonly
adopted in the HF calculations of nuclear structure, the plane waves
$|\bm{k}'\sigma'\tau'\rangle$ in the SP potential (\ref{eq4}) can be replaced
by the SP wave functions $|j\rangle$ of the target nucleons. Then, the central
OP of the elastic nucleon scattering on the target $A$ can be evaluated as
\begin{equation}
  U(k)=\sum_{j\in A}[\langle \bm{k},j|v_{\rm D}|\bm{k},j\rangle
	+\langle \bm{k},j|v_{\rm EX}|j,\bm{k}\rangle]. \label{eq8}
\end{equation}
The antisymmetrization of the nucleon-nucleus\  system is done in the HF manner, taking into
account explicitly the knock-on exchange. As a result, the exchange term of the
nucleon-nucleus\  potential (\ref{eq8}) becomes \emph{nonlocal}, and the OM equation for the
elastic nucleon scattering at the energy $E$ is an integro-differential equation
\begin{eqnarray}
 \left[-\frac{\hbar^2}{2\mu}\nabla^2+U_{\rm D}(R)+V_{\rm C}(R)
 +V_{\rm s.o.}(R)(\bm{l}.{\bm{\sigma}})\right]\chi(\bm{R})
 \nonumber\\ \hskip 2.6cm +\int K(\rho,\bm{R},\bm{r})
 \chi(\bm{r})d^3r= E\chi(\bm{R}), \label{eq9}
\end{eqnarray}
where $V_{\rm s.o.}(R)$ is the spin-orbit potential, and the Coulomb potential
$V_{\rm C}(R)$ is included only for elastic proton scattering. The scattering
wave function $\chi(\bm{R})$ is obtained from the solution of the OM equation
(\ref{eq9}) at each nucleon-nucleus\  distance $R$. The energy dependent mean-field part
consists of the local direct potential $U_{\rm D}(R)$ and the exchange integral
with a nonlocal, density dependent kernel $K(\rho,\bm{R},\bm{r})$.
The mean-field part of the nucleon OP can be expressed, in a manner consistent
with the Lane representation, in terms of the isoscalar and isovector parts as
\begin{eqnarray}
 && U_{\rm D}(R)=U^{\rm D}_{\rm IS}(R)\pm U^{\rm D}_{\rm IV}(R), \nonumber\\
 && K(\rho,\bm{R},\bm{r})=K_{\rm IS}(\rho,\bm{R},\bm{r})
 \pm K_{\rm IV}(\rho,\bm{R},\bm{r}), \label{eq10}
\end{eqnarray}
where (-) sign pertains to proton OP and (+) sign to neutron OP. The IS and IV
terms in Eq.~(\ref{eq10}) are determined using, respectively, the IS and IV parts
of the nucleon density matrices as
\begin{eqnarray}
&& U^{\rm D}_{\rm IS(IV)}(R)=
\int\big[\rho_n(\bm{r})\pm\rho_p(\bm{r})\big]v^{\rm D}_{00(01)}(\rho,s)d^3r,
 \nonumber \\
&& K_{\rm IS(IV)}(\rho,\bm{R},\bm{r})=
\big[\rho_n(\bm{R},\bm{r})\pm\rho_p(\bm{R},\bm{r})\big]
v^{\rm EX}_{00(01)}(\rho,s), \label{eq11}
\end{eqnarray}
where $s=|\bm R-\bm r|$. The nucleon density matrix is determined from the SP
wave functions of target nucleons as
\begin{equation}
 \rho_\tau(\bm{r},\bm{r}')=\sum_{j\in A}\varphi^{(\tau)*}_j(\bm{r})
 \varphi^{(\tau)}_j(\bm{r}'),\ {\rm with}\
 \rho_\tau(\bm r)\equiv \rho_\tau(\bm{r},\bm{r}),\ {\rm and}
 \ \tau=n,p. \label{eq12}
\end{equation}
Within the adopted LDA, the parameters of the density dependence of the CDM3Yn
interaction determined in the HF calculation of NM are readily used in the HF-type
folding model calculation of the nucleon OP of finite nuclei (\ref{eq8}), where
the density dependent functional $F_{0(1)}(\rho)+\Delta F_{0(1)}(\rho)$ is given
consistently by the local target density $\rho(\bm r)$ appearing in Eqs.~(\ref{eq10})
and (\ref{eq11}). The direct potential $U_{\rm D}(R)$ is obtained simply by folding the
local nucleon density matrices with the direct part $v^{\rm D}_{00(01)}(\rho,s)$
of the density dependent CDM3Yn interaction (see more details in Ref.~\cite{Kho02}),
including the contribution of the rearrangement term. We show here the explicit
expression of the IV part of the direct folded potential
\begin{equation} \label{eq13}
U^{\rm D}_{\rm IV}(R)=\int\big[\rho_n(\bm{r})-\rho_p(\bm{r})\big]
\big[F_1(\rho(\bm r))\pm\Delta F_1(\rho(\bm r))\big]v^{\rm D}_{01}(s)d^3r,
\end{equation}
where the $(\pm)$ signs are used in the same way as in Eq.~(\ref{eq10}). One
can see that the contribution of the RT to the IV part of the direct potential
$U^{\rm D}_{\rm IV}$ via $\Delta  F_1(\rho)$ is the same for both the proton and
neutron OP.

Note that the energy dependence of the folded nucleon OP is implicitly embedded
in the exchange integral of Eq.~(\ref{eq9}) when the nonlocal exchange term is
treated exactly. This procedure is cumbersome and involves the explicit angular-momentum
dependence of the exchange kernel. Using the multipole decomposition of the radial Yukawa
function in the exchange component of the CDM3Yn interaction (\ref{eq3})
\begin{equation}
 v^{\rm EX}_{00(01)}(s)=\sum_{\lambda\mu}\frac{4\pi}{2\lambda+1}
 X^{(\lambda)}_{00(01)}(R,r)Y^*_{\lambda\mu}(\hat{\bm R})
 Y_{\lambda\mu}(\hat{\bm r}), \label{eq14}
\end{equation}
we obtain, after integrating out the angular dependence, the following radial OM
equation for each partial wave $L$
\begin{eqnarray}
&&-\frac{\hbar^2}{2\mu}\left[\frac{d^2}{dR^2}-\frac{L(L+1)}{R^2}\right]
\chi_{LJ}(R)+\big[U_{\rm D}(R)+V_{\rm C}(R) \nonumber\\
&&+A_{LJ}V_{\rm s.o.}(R)\big]\chi_{LJ}(R) +\int_0^\infty K_{LJ}(\rho,R,r)
\chi_{LJ}(r)dr=E\chi_{LJ}(R), \label{eq15}
\end{eqnarray}
where the s.o. coupling coeficient $A_{LJ}=L$ if $J=L+1/2$, and
$A_{LJ}=-L-1$ if $J=L-1/2$. One can see that the use of the nonlocal OP leads to
an explicit angular-momentum dependence of the integral equation for the scattering
wave function. The nonlocal exchange kernel is determined explicitly as
\begin{eqnarray}
 \hskip -2cm K_{LJ}(\rho,R,r)=\big[K^{\rm IS}_{LJ}(\rho,R,r)
 \pm K^{\rm IV}_{LJ}(\rho,R,r)\big], \label{eq16} \\
 \hskip -2cm K^{\rm IS}_{LJ}(\rho,R,r)=\big[F_0(\rho(r))+
 \Delta F_0(\rho(r))\big]\sum_{nlj,\lambda}\frac{u^{(n)}_{nlj}(R)u^{(n)}_{nlj}(r)
 +u^{(p)}_{nlj}(R)u^{(p)}_{nlj}(r)}{R~r} \nonumber\\
 \hskip 1.5cm \times(2j+1) X^{(\lambda)}_{00}(R,r)
 \left(\begin{array}{l}L\\0\end{array}
 \begin{array}{l}l\\0\end{array}
 \begin{array}{l}\lambda\\0\end{array}\right)^2, \label{eq17} \\
 \hskip -2cm K^{\rm IV}_{LJ}(\rho,R,r)=\big[F_1(\rho(r))\pm
 \Delta F_1(\rho(r))\big]\sum_{nlj,\lambda}\frac{u^{(n)}_{nlj}(R)u^{(n)}_{nlj}(r)
 -u^{(p)}_{nlj}(R)u^{(p)}_{nlj}(r)}{R~r} \nonumber\\
 \hskip 1.5cm \times(2j+1) X^{(\lambda)}_{01}(R,r)
 \left(\begin{array}{l}L\\0\end{array}
 \begin{array}{l}l\\0\end{array}
 \begin{array}{l}\lambda\\0\end{array}\right)^2. \label{eq18}
\end{eqnarray}
Here $u^{(\tau)}_{nlj}(r)$ is the radial part of the SP wave function
$\varphi^{(\tau)}_{nlj}(\bm{r})$ of the target nucleon. Note that in
Eqs.~(\ref{eq16}) and (\ref{eq18}), the (-) sign is used with the proton OP
and (+) sign with the neutron OP. Thus, the contribution of the RT to the IV
part of the exchange kernel is also the same for both the proton and neutron OP
as found for the IV part of the direct potential (\ref{eq13}). The explicit
representation of the nucleon OP in terms of the IS and IV parts is helpful
for the investigation of the contribution of valence neutrons to the OP.
Furthemore, the form factor (FF) of the charge exchange $(p,n)$ reaction to the
isobar analog state (IAS) is determined, in the Lane isospin coupling scheme,
entirely by the IV part of the nucleon OP \cite{Kho14,Loc14}. Therefore,
the present nonlocal folding model can be used to calculate the nonlocal
charge exchange FF in the future folding model studies of the $(p,n)$ reaction
to IAS.

\subsection{Local approximation for the folded nucleon OP}
\label{sec3}
Although it is established that the nucleon OP is nonlocal in the coordinate
space due to the Pauli blocking (as shown above) and the multichannel coupling,
over the years the nucleon OP is mainly assumed in the local form for the OM
analysis of elastic nucleon scattering. The local OP that describes properly the
nucleon elastic scattering is the key input for the distorted wave Born approximation
(DWBA) or coupled channel (CC) analyses of different direct reaction processes induced
by the incident nucleon. Here the (bare) real OP accounts for the purely elastic
scattering and imaginary OP accounts for the absorption of flux by those nonelastic
reaction channels that are not explicitly taken into account in the CC calculation.
It is of interest, therefore, to assess the accuracy of the local version
\cite{Kho02,Kho07} of the nonlocal folding model suggested in the present work.

Applying a local WKB approximation \cite{Sin75,Bri77} for the change in the
scattering wave function in the OM equation (\ref{eq9}) induced by the exchange
of spatial coordinates of the incident nucleon and that bound in the target
\begin{equation}
\chi(\bm{r})=\chi(\bm{R+s})\simeq \chi(\bm{R})
 \exp\big(i{\bm k}(E,\bm R).{\bm s}\big), \label{eq19}
\end{equation}
the exchange integral in Eq.~(\ref{eq9}) can be evaluated independently using
the nonlocal nucleon density matrix. This gives rise to a \emph{local}
exchange term of the folded nucleon-nucleus\  potential (\ref{eq8}) that depends explicitly
on energy via the local momentum of the incident nucleon $k(E,R)$
\begin{eqnarray}
 \hskip -1cm U_{\rm EX}(E,R)=U^{\rm EX}_{\rm IS}(E,R)\pm
  U^{\rm EX}_{\rm IV}(E,R), \nonumber\\
 \hskip -1cm U^{\rm EX}_{\rm IS(IV)}(E,R)=
  \int\big[\rho_n(\bm{R},\bm{r})\pm\rho_p(\bm{R},\bm{r})\big]
  j_0\big(k(E,R)s\big) v^{\rm EX}_{00(01)}(\rho,s)d^3r, \label{eq20}
\end{eqnarray}
where the $(\pm)$ signs are used in the same way as in Eq.~(\ref{eq10}). The local
momentum $k(E,R)$ of the incident nucleon propagating in the target mean field is
determined from the real part of the total folded potential
$U(E,R)=U_{\rm D}(R)+U_{\rm EX}(E,R)$ as
\begin{equation}
 k^2(E,R)=\frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}[E-{\rm Re}~U(E,R)-V_{\rm C}(R)].\label{eq21}
\end{equation}
The method used to evaluate the direct (\ref{eq11}) and exchange (\ref{eq20})
folded potentials has been discussed earlier (see, e.g., Ref.~\cite{Kho02}).
Using a realistic local approximation for the nonlocal density matrix in the
exchange potential (\ref{eq20}), the nuclear density $\rho(\bm r)$ obtained in
any structure model or directly deduced from the electron scattering data
can be used in the folding calculation of the nucleon OP.
A preliminary folding model study of elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering using the neutron
OP obtained with the local approximation (\ref{eq20}) for the exchange term
has shown a significant contribution of the RT to the nucleon folded OP
\cite{Loa15}. It should be noted that the RT is commonly taken into account
in the variational HF calculation of nuclear structure using some density
dependent NN interaction. However, the RT has not been included so far in most
of the HF-type folding model calculations of the nucleon OP, and the main goal
of the present work is to show the impact of the RT on both the local and
nonlocal folded nucleon OP.

\section{Elastic nucleon scattering on $^{40,48}$Ca, $^{90}$Zr,
 and $^{208}$Pb targets}
\label{sec4}
The new version of the folding model for the nonlocal and local nucleon OP
discussed above in sections \ref{sec2} and \ref{sec3} has been used in the present
work to calculate the nucleon OP for the OM study of the elastic neutron and
proton scattering on $^{40,48}$Ca, $^{90}$Zr, and $^{208}$Pb targets.
One can see from Eqs.~(\ref{eq11})-(\ref{eq12}) that the folding calculation of the
\emph{nonlocal} OP requires explicitly the single-particle wave functions of all
nucleons bound in the target. We have used here the SP wave functions given by the
HF calculation of finite nuclei, using a complete basis of spherical Bessel functions
\cite{Tha11} and the finite-range D1S Gogny interaction \cite{Ber91}.

In the context of a \emph{complex} folded OP, it is necessary to have a realistic
complex parametrization of the density dependent CDM3Yn interaction.
For this purpose, the imaginary density dependence of the CDM3Yn interaction
was determined using the same density dependent functionals $F_{0(1)}(\rho)$ as those
used in Eq~(\ref{eq3}) for the real interaction, with the parameters determined at each
energy to reproduce on the HF level \cite{Kho07} the energy dependent imaginary
nucleon OP given by the JLM parametrization of the BHF results for NM \cite{Je77}.
The folded complex nonlocal nucleon OP as well as its local version were further used
as the input for the OM calculation of elastic nucleon scattering using the extended
$R$-matrix method \cite{desco}. In the present OM calculation, the nonlocal mean-field
part of the nucleon OP is supplemented by the local Coulomb and spin-orbit potentials
taken from the global systematics CH89 of the nucleon OP \cite{Var91}.

The reliability of the folded OP in the OM study of elastic nucleon scattering is
best to be probed in the analysis of elastic neutron scattering from a heavy target
at low energies, where the Coulomb interaction is absent and the mean-field dynamics
is well established. The elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering data accurately measured over a wide
angular range at energies of 26, 30.4, and 40 MeV \cite{nPb1,nPb2,nPb3} turned out
to be a very good test ground for this purpose. Because the parameters of the (real)
CDM3Yn interaction were
\begin{figure}[bht] \vspace*{-0.5cm}\hspace*{0cm}
\includegraphics[width=1.1\textwidth]{fig3.eps}\vspace*{-3.5cm}
 \caption{OM description of the elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering data measured at 26, 30,
and 40 MeV \cite{nPb1,nPb2,nPb3} given by the complex \emph{nonlocal} folded OP
obtained with the CDM3Y6 interaction with or without the inclusion of the RT,
in comparison with that given by the \emph{local} folded OP with the RT
included.} \label{f3}
\end{figure}
adjusted by the realistic HF description of NM as shown in Fig.~\ref{f1}, \emph{no
renormalization} of the strength of the \emph{real} folded potential (\ref{eq11})
was allowed in the present OM analysis to test its proximity to the real nucleon OP
as well as the impact of the RT to the real folded OP. While the imaginary folded
nucleon OP based on the JLM parametrization of the G-matrix interaction delivers
a good OM description of elastic proton scattering, it gives consistently a stronger
absorption in the neutron OP, and an overall renormalization of the \emph{imaginary}
neutron folded potential by a factor $\sim 0.8$ is needed for a good OM description
of elastic neutron scattering data at the considered energies. From the OM results
obtained with the CDM3Y6 interaction shown in Fig.~\ref{f3} for elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering
one can see that the inclusion of the RT into the folding model calculation is essential
for a good OM description of the data over the whole angular range. We note that
the results obtained with the complex CDM3Y3 and CDM3Y4 interactions are almost
the same as those shown in Fig.~\ref{f3}, with a minor difference
that is hardly noticeable on the logarithmic scale.
\begin{figure}[bht] \vspace*{0cm}\hspace*{2cm}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{fig4.eps}\vspace*{-0.5cm}
 \caption{The same as Fig.~\ref{f3} but for the data of the elastic neutron
scattering on $^{40,48}$Ca and $^{90}$Zr target measured \cite{ndat1,ndat2,ndat3}
at 17 and 24 MeV, respectively.} \label{f4}
\end{figure}
In the absence of the Coulomb interaction, the oscillation pattern of the elastic
neutron cross section over the whole angular range can be reproduced only with the
inclusion of the RT. It can also be seen in Fig.~\ref{f3} that the local approximation
(\ref{eq20})-(\ref{eq21}) for the exchange term of the folded nucleon OP is quite
reasonable, and the local folded OP with the RT included also gives a reasonable OM
description of the data. About the same impact by the RT and good accuracy of the
local folding approach can be seen in the OM results for elastic neutron scattering
on the medium-mass $^{40,48}$Ca and $^{90}$Zr targets (see Fig.~\ref{f4}).

\begin{figure}[bht] \vspace*{-1cm}\hspace*{2cm}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{fig5.eps}\vspace*{-1cm}
 \caption{The same as Fig.~\ref{f3} but for the elastic $p+^{208}$Pb\  scattering data

scattering cross sections and data points are plotted in ratio to the
Rurtherford cross section at the corresponding angles.} \label{f5}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[bht] \vspace*{-1cm}\hspace*{2cm}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{fig6.eps}\vspace*{-1cm}
 \caption{The same as Fig.~\ref{f5} but for the elastic $p+^{40}$Ca\  scattering data
 measured at 30, 35, and 45 MeV \cite{nCa}.} \label{f6}
\end{figure}
The elastic $p+^{208}$Pb\  scattering data measured at 30.4, 35, and 45 MeV \cite{pPb1,pPb2}
are compared in Fig.~\ref{f5} with the OM results given by the same three versions
of the folded OP as those discussed in Fig.~\ref{f3}. The inclusion of the RT into
the folding model calculation was found to be also vital for a good OM description
of the elastic proton scattering data over the whole angular range as is seen
in Fig.~\ref{f5}. At the forward angles, the effect of the RT in the elastic $p+^{208}$Pb\
scattering is slightly weaker than that found in the elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering because
the elastic cross section there has a significant contribution from the Coulomb
scattering which is not affected by the inclusion of the RT in the folding
calculation. The same impact by the RT, but with a more pronounced difference
between the results given by three versions of the folded OP can be
seen in the OM results for the elastic $p+^{40}$Ca\  scattering shown in Fig.~\ref{f6}.
For this double magic target, the results of our folding model analysis show
unambiguously the importance of taking into account both the RT and nonlocality
of the folded nucleon OP. Although, the nonlocal and local folded OP's give
about the same OM results for the elastic proton scattering at the forward-
and medium angles, the data at the backward angles can be properly reproduced
only by the nonlocal folded OP, especially at the proton energy of 45 MeV.
The effect of the RT found here in the folding model description of elastic nucleon-nucleus\
scattering at low energies should be complementary to the rearrangement of the SP
configurations established in the single-nucleon removal reactions \cite{Hodgson75}.

\section{Microscopic nonlocal folded OP versus the global parametrization}
\label{sec5}
\begin{figure}[bht] \vspace*{-1cm}
\includegraphics[width=1.1\textwidth]{fig7.eps}\vspace*{-3.5cm}
 \caption{OM description of the elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering data measured at 26, 30,
and 40 MeV \cite{nPb1,nPb2,nPb3} given by the nonlocal folded OP obtained with
the CDM3Y6 interaction including the RT, in comparison with the OM results
given by the original PB parametrization of the nonlocal neutron OP \cite{Perey}
and its recent energy dependent version PBE \cite{Lovel}.} \label{f7}
\end{figure}
Although the practical OM calculations of elastic nucleon scattering are usually
done using some global parameters of the local nucleon OP (see, e.g.,
Refs.~\cite{Var91,Kon03}), some OM studies have been aimed to explore the use
of an explicit nonlocal nucleon OP and deduce the global parameters for that
purpose. We note here the early work by Perey and Buck (PB) \cite{Perey} and
the recent revision of the PB parametrization by Tian, Pang, and Ma (TPM) \cite{TPM},
where the nonlocal nucleon OP is built up from a Woods-Saxon form factor multiplied
by a nonlocal Gaussian. While the PB parameters were adjusted to the best OM fit
of the two data sets (elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering at 7.0 and 14.5 MeV), those
of the TPM potential were fitted to reproduce the data of elastic nucleon scattering
on $^{32}$S, $^{56}$Fe, $^{120}$Sn, and $^{208}$Pb targets at energies of 8 to 30 MeV.
More recently, an energy dependence has been introduced explicitly into the imaginary
parts of the PB and TPM potentials, dubbed as PBE and TPME potentials, with the
parameters adjusted to achieve the overall good OM description of nucleon elastic
scattering on $^{40}$Ca, $^{90}$Zr, and $^{208}$Pb targets at energies $E$ of
5 to 45 MeV \cite{Lovel,Lovel2}.
\begin{figure}[bht] \vspace*{-1cm}
\includegraphics[width=1.1\textwidth]{fig8.eps}\vspace*{-3.5cm}
 \caption{The same as Fig.~\ref{f7} but in comparison with the OM results
 given by the TPM parametrization of the nonlocal neutron OP \cite{TPM}
 and its energy dependent version TPME \cite{Lovel}.} \label{f8}
\end{figure}
Given the microscopic nucleon folded OP constructed from the realistic SP wave
functions of the target nucleons using the mean-field based density dependent CDM3Yn
interaction, it is of interest to compare its predicting power with that of the
global parametrization. The OM results for the elastic $n+^{208}$Pb\  scattering at 26, 30.4,
and 40 MeV given by the nonlocal folded OP obtained with the CDM3Y6 interaction are
compared with the OM results given by the PB parametrization of the nonlocal
neutron OP \cite{Perey} and the recent energy dependent version PBE \cite{Lovel}
in Fig.~\ref{f7}. One can see that the nonlocal folded OP performs quite well,
with the predicted elastic cross section agreeing closely with the data like
that given by the global PBE potential.
As expected, the original (energy independent) PB parametrization fails to
account for these data that were measured at energies higher than those considered
by Perey and Buck \cite{Perey}. It can be seen in Fig.~\ref{f8} that the elastic
$n+^{208}$Pb\  cross section predicted by the nonlocal folded OP agrees with the data
slightly better than that predicted by the global TPM and TPME parametrizations
of the nonlocal OP. Thus, these results confirm nicely the reliability of the
present nonlocal version of the folding model in the calculation of the nucleon OP
for medium and heavy targets. The model can be used, therefore, to predict
the complex nucleon OP of the short-lived, unstable nuclei (when no elastic
scattering data are available) for further use in the direct reaction analysis,
provided the realistic SP wave functions are available for these radioactive nuclei,
which are not an easy task for the nuclear structure models.

\section{Summary}
The folding model of the nonlocal nucleon OP, with the exchange potential
calculated exactly in the HF manner, is generalized to include the rearrangement
term using the CDM3Yn interaction with a complex density dependence. The obtained
OM results for the elastic neutron and proton scattering on $^{40,48}$Ca, $^{90}$Zr,
and $^{208}$Pb targets at different energies have shown that the inclusion of the RT
into the folding model calculation of the nucleon OP is essential for a good OM
description of the considered elastic data. Although the RT is widely taken into
account in numerous variational HF calculations of nuclear structure using the effective
density-dependent NN interaction, the results of the present work have confirmed, for
the first time, the important role of the RT in the (local and nonlocal) HF-type
folding model of the nucleon OP.

The OM results given by the complex nonlocal folded OP with the RT included are
further compared with those given by the global parametrization of the nonlocal
nucleon OP suggested recently \cite{TPM,Lovel}, based on the analytical nonlocal form
factor suggested many years ago by Perey and Buck \cite{Perey}. This comparison
has confirmed the reliability of the present nonlocal folding model for the medium
and heavy targets, and the model can be used, therefore, to predict the nucleon OP
of the short-lived unstable nuclei (for which no elastic scattering data are available)
using the realistic SP wave functions given by the nuclear structure studies.

University midshipmen (left) and cadets (right) line Saint Mary's Road to honor the life of Fr. Hesburgh during the funeral procession March 4. Many students, faculty and staff joined the procession.
The new Army ROTC officers for Notre Dame's upcoming 2015-2016 academic year have recently been announced and will be commissioned during a ceremony Saturday.
"It's been a fantastic academic year, and the seniors did a great job leading the Fightin' Irish Battalion and mentoring the underclass cadets," Lieutenant Colonel John Polhamus, Notre Dame's professor of military science, said, "This past year the cadets participated in many activities including … the Military Appreciation Football Game, a Veteran's Day vigil and ceremony, multiple field training exercises, a military staff ride to Gettysburg, participation in Father Ted's funeral activities and an Army Ball."
The newly announced officers include cadets from several nearby colleges and universities; Notre Dame, Holy Cross College, Saint Mary's College, Bethel College, Indiana University South Bend (IUSB) and Valparaiso University,

"As their professor of military science for the last four years, I'm very proud of the class of 2015," Polhamus said, "I'm very confident that they will be outstanding military officers, and I'm excited to hear about their future successes. They are fit and ready to join the Army team, and I wish all of them the best of luck in their careers."

Flawiusz Eugeniusz, łac. Flavius Eugenius (ok. 350 r. – 6 września 394) – cesarz rzymski w latach 392–394.

Życiorys

Pochodzenie i pierwszy okres rządów
Eugeniusz był nauczycielem literatury łacińskiej i retoryki. W 389 roku zaprzyjaźnił się z wodzem Arbogastem, który uczynił go naczelnikiem kancelarii na dworze cesarza Walentyniana II. Dzięki temu posunięciu rzymski wódz miał wgląd do listów cesarza. W wyniku konfliktu pomiędzy Arbogastem a Walentynianem ten ostatni poniósł śmierć. Trzy miesiące później, 22 sierpnia 392, Arbogast wyniósł Eugeniusza na tron.

Nowemu cesarzowi podlegał zachód cesarstwa (początkowo bez Italii). Na wschodzie rządził cesarz Teodozjusz. Eugeniusz zabiegał początkowo o uznanie dla swojej władzy przez Teodozjusza. Na wybijanych monetach widniały postacie obu cesarzy, a do Konstantynopola wysłano poselstwo, któremu jednak nie udało się osiągnąć zamierzonego celu, ponieważ Teodozjusz parł do wojny. Zanim doszło do militarnego rozstrzygnięcia, Eugeniusz i Arbogast umocnili obronę prowincji nadreńskich. Zimą 393 wojska rzymskie spacyfikowały tereny barbarzyńców leżące w tym rejonie.

Rządy w Rzymie, wojna i śmierć
Następnie wiosną 393 r. Eugeniusz opanował bez walki Italię. W Rzymie popierała go wciąż liczna, mimo prześladowań ze strony chrześcijan, politeistyczna elita intelektualna i polityczna (Senat). Wiązała ona z panowaniem Eugeniusza nadzieje na powrót do wiary przodków lub przynajmniej tolerancję religijną. Eugeniusz, mimo iż sam był chrześcijaninem, zaczął realizować propoliteistyczną politykę. Zezwolił na powrót do sali zgromadzeń senatu posągu Wiktorii, przywrócił świątyniom bogów starożytnego Rzymu dobra skonfiskowane przez poprzednich chrześcijańskich cesarzy. Odrestaurowano również świątynię Wenus i Romy, odbudowano świątynię Marsa w Ostii, oraz zburzono kilka kościołów. Działania Eugeniusza wspierali wyznawcy wiary przodków: Virius Nicomachus Flavianus – prefekt pretorium w Italii – i jego syn Nicomachus Flavianus – prefekt Rzymu. Mimo licznych działań na rzecz dawnej religii, za rządów Eugeniusza nie doszło do krwawych prześladowań religijnych, chociaż wyruszając na wojnę z Teodozjuszem, Eugeniusz zapowiedział, że w przypadku zwycięskiego powrotu zamieni kościoły w stajnie, a mnichów wcieli do armii.

Do jedynej bitwy doszło nad Frygidusem w dniach 5–6 września 394. Pierwszego dnia triumfowały wojska Eugeniusza i Arbogasta, które zadały oddziałom Teodozjusza poważne straty. Cesarscy wodzowie rozważali nawet uznanie się za pokonanych i wycofanie z pola walki. Teodozjusz postanowił jednak zaryzykować kolejne starcie następnego dnia. 6 września wojska Teodozjusza ponownie zeszły w dolinę, zaskakując wojska Eugeniusza, który nie spodziewał się, że jego przeciwnik zdecyduje się na kontynuowanie walki. Podczas powstałego zamieszania Eugeniusz został pojmany przez żołnierzy i doprowadzony do Teodozjusza, gdzie podobno błagał o łaskę. Teodozjusz rozkazał ściąć jeńca, a jego głowę obnosić po polu bitwy.

Why Do We Treat Timber?
The purpose of treating timber is to protect it from insect attack, fungal decay which makes it last longer. Without treatment, many species of timber including radiata pine are not suitable for use in terminte or decay prone situations.
Timber treatment substantially extends the service life of timber, particularly for lower durability regrowth and plantation timbers such as Radiata pine.
This is why timber treatment has become such a common product for use in landscaping, play-grounds, retaining walls, jetties and bridges, pole frame houses and many other outdoor applications.

Avalanche danger posted for B.C. and Alberta backcountry users
by Energeticcity.ca Staff January 20, 2022
REVELSTOKE, B.C. — A special avalanche warning has been posted for recreational backcountry users in several regions of B.C. and Alberta as warm temperatures make the snowpack unstable.
Avalanche Canada and Parks Canada have issued the advisory to take effect immediately and last through to Monday.
The warning applies to the North and South Columbias, Purcells, Kootenay Boundary, and Glacier, Banff, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks.
It also applies to B.C.'s Sea-to-Sky region and South Coast Inland area from Squamish to Pemberton.
James Floyer, the forecasting program supervisor for Avalanche Canada, says there are weak layers in the mountain snowpack across most of southern B.C. and western Alberta.
He says the combination of the snowpack structure, sunshine and higher temperatures will make natural and human-triggered avalanches much more likely.
The forecasting agency says there have been several close calls reported recently including one last weekend in southeastern B.C. where a large avalanche buried all but the head of a snowmobiler and his companions were able to dig him out alive.
"There is a lot of uncertainty with these weak layers," says Floyer. "While we have targeted an area where we think there is a higher risk of triggering these deep weak layers, we also urge backcountry users in adjacent regions to exercise caution during this warming period."

Postal Service reports $8 billion in losses
By Jim McElhatton - The Washington Times - Friday, November 12, 2010
The U.S. Postal Service on Friday reported more than $8 billion in losses for the 2010 fiscal year while noting that mail volume continues to drop.
The postal service's chief financial officer, Joe Corbett, said despite $9 billion in cost savings over the past two years and the elimination of more than 100,000 jobs, fundamental changes are needed in how the mail system works.
"We will continue our relentless efforts to innovate and improve efficiency," he said. "However, the need for changes to legislation, regulations and labor contracts has never been more obvious."
Among the changes the Postal Service is seeking is the ability to cut Saturday mail delivery.
Overall, First Class Mail volume continues to drop, a troubling trend because that accounts for more than half of the Postal Service's revenue, according to postal officials.
First Class Mail dropped 6.6 percent in 2010, 8.6 percent in 2009 and 4.8 percent in 2008.
In announcing the financial results Friday, officials also said that questions remain about the Postal Service's ability to make a $5.5 billion payment to prefund retiree health benefits. That's a congressional mandate postal officials have long argued is onerous.
Frederic V. Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, agreed. He said the announcement about the Postal Service's finances comes as no surprise and underscores the need for changes.
"For the Postal Service to improve its financial situation, the government must let USPS manage its financial affairs in the most effective manner possible like any other business," he said.
"Essential to that process would be for Congress to fix an onerous congressional mandate from 2006, which obligates the Postal Service to make annual payments of $5.5 billion to prefund future retiree health benefits.," Mr. Rolando said. "No other institution in America, public or private, has to do this."
In a statement announcing the financial results, postal officials attributed the increasing losses to "the recent recession, continuing economic pressures and migration of mail to electronic media."
Officials said the losses occurred despite the elimination of 75 million work hours and record high levels of productivity for 2010.
