Second, this unusual physical endowment is correlated, as would be expected, with extraordinary industries, or behavior. Certainly, with the single exception of the social Hymenoptera and the Termites, no insects show such a range of activities as the solitary wasps. Third, they are the lineal descendants of forms which gave rise to the social Hymenoptera. This seems to be so evident that Handlirsch actually derives the bees from the Sphegid, the social wasps from the Eumenid an...

Abstract:With an effective chiral flavour SU(3) model we show the effect of hadronic resonances on the QCD phase diagram. We state that varying the resonance couplings to the scalar and vector fields affects the order and location of the phase transition, the possible existence of a critical end point (CEP), and the thermodynamic properties. We present (strange) quark number susceptibilities at zero baryochemical potential and at three different points at the phase transition. Comparing results to lattice QCD, we state that reasonable large vector couplings limit the phase transition to a smooth crossover ruling out a CEP. PACS

Abstract. In an approach inspired by Polyakov loop extended NJL models, we present a nonlinear hadronic SU(3) σ-ω mean field model augmented by quark degrees of freedom. By introducing the effective Polyakov loop related scalar field Φ and an associated effective potential, the model includes all known hadronic degrees of freedom at low temperatures and densities as well as a quark phase at high temperatures and densities. Hadrons in the model exhibit a finite volume in order to suppress baryons at high T and µ This ensures that the right asymptotic degrees of freedom are attained for the description of strongly interacting matter and allows to study the QCD phase diagram in a wide range of temperatures and chemical potentials. Therefore, with this model it is possible to study the phase transition of chiral restoration and deconfinement. In this paper, the impact of quarks on the resulting phase diagram is shown. The results from the chiral model are compared to recent data from lattice QCD.

We discuss the present collective flow signals for the phase transition to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the collective flow as a barometer for the equation of state (EoS). A study of Mach shocks induced by fast partonic jets propagating through the QGP is given. We predict a significant deformation of Mach shocks in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC and LHC energies as compared to the case of jet propagation in a static medium. Results of a hydrodynamical study of jet energy loss are presented. The 3rd edition
