1) A superluminal object can exist if it moves faster than the speed of light in a medium, not in a vacuum. Cherenkov radiation from a charged particle moving superluminally in a medium is provided as an example.
2) For a radiating superluminal particle moving along the x-axis, the observer sees the particle at a delayed time and shifted apparent position compared to its actual position and time. The apparent velocity follows a hyperbolic relationship and can exceed the speed of light in vacuum.
3) For a radiating linear object moving parallel or perpendicular to the x-axis, the observer sees delayed and distorted images, including elliptical shapes for perpendicular motion where calculations are provided to

Part 2 of a tutorial given in the Brazilian Physical Society meeting, ENFMC. Abstract: Density-functional theory (DFT) was developed 50 years ago, connecting fundamental quantum methods from early days of quantum mechanics to our days of computer-powered science. Today DFT is the most widely used method in electronic structure calculations. It helps moving forward materials sciences from a single atom to nanoclusters and biomolecules, connecting solid-state, quantum chemistry, atomic and molecular physics, biophysics and beyond. In this tutorial, I will try to clarify this pathway under a historical view, presenting the DFT pillars and its building blocks, namely, the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, the Kohn-Sham scheme, the local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). I would like to open the black box misconception of the method, and present a more pedagogical and solid perspective on DFT.
CLASSICAL AND QUASI-CLASSICAL CONSIDERATION OF CHARGED PARTICLES IN COULOMB F...ijrap
On the basis of the theory of bound charges the calculation of the motion of the charged particle at the
Coulomb field formed with the spherical source of bound charges is carried out. Such motion is possible in
the Riemanniam space-time. The comparison with the general relativity theory (GRT) and special relativity
theory (SRT) results in the Schwarzshil'd field when the particle falls on the Schwarzshil'd and Coulomb
centres is carried out. It is shown that the proton and electron can to create a stable connection with the
dimensions of the order of the classic electron radius. The perihelion shift of the electron orbit in the
proton field is calculated. This shift is five times greater than in SRT and when corrsponding substitution of
the constants it is 5/6 from GRT. By means of the quantization of adiabatic invariants in accordance with
the method closed to the Bohr and Sommerfeld one without the Dirac equation the addition to the energy
for the fine level splitting is obtained. It is shown that the Caplan's stable orbits in the hydrogen atom
coincide with the Born orbits.
On Application of Unbounded Hilbert Linear Operators in Quantum MechanicsBRNSS Publication Hub
This research work presents an important Banach space in functional analysis which is known and called
Hilbert space. We verified the crucial operations in this space and their applications in physics, particularly
in quantum mechanics. The operations are restricted to the unbounded linear operators densely defined
in Hilbert space which is the case of prime interest in physics, precisely in quantum machines. Precisely,
we discuss the role of unbounded linear operators in quantum mechanics, particularly, in the study of
Heisenberg uncertainty principle, time-independent Schrödinger equation, Harmonic oscillation, and
finally, the application of Hamilton operator. To make these analyses fruitful, the knowledge of Hilbert
spaces was first investigated followed by the spectral theory of unbounded operators, which are claimed
to be densely defined in Hilbert space. Consequently, the theory of probability is also employed to study
some systems since the operators used in studying these systems are only dense in H (i.e., they must (or
probably) be in the domain of H defined by L2 ( ) −∞,+∞ ).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem 3. How does a superluminal object look like?
Can a body move faster than a speed of light? The answer is “No” if the object is moving in the
vacuum. But the answer can be “Yes”, if we deal with the phase speed of light in an optically
dense medium with refractive index of ( , where is a speed of light in the medium,
and is the speed of light in the vacuum).
We say a body is superluminal, if , where is a velocity of the body. One of the well
known examples of the superluminal body is a charged particle generating Cherenkov radiation.
Throughout the problem we will deal with a superluminal body of constant velocity in an
optical medium without dispersion. u is the velocity of light in the medium.
