The nature of spirituality belonging to teachers in orthodox-Protestant education and how this infl uences the practice of education is portrayed in this study. In particular, attention goes to the role of religion in that spirituality. Spirituality is considered to be ‘the manner in which one – by orienting oneself on sources – relates experiences of inspiration and/ or transcendence, more or ...

disease. One first-class original contribution, by John Brooke, compares the images of Whewell and Priestley as nineteenth-century caricatures embellished by twentieth-century sociologists. McEvoy summarizes his well-documented analysis of Priestley. Many ofthe other papers, based on exegesis ofparticular sides of Priestley's complex thoughts, connect perhaps too little with the original signif...

Lateral Casimir-Polder force with corrugated surfaces

We derive the lateral Casimir-Polder force on a ground state atom on top of a corrugated surface, up to first order in the corrugation amplitude. Our calculation is based on the scattering approach, which takes into account nonspecular reflections and polarization mixing for electromagnetic quantum fluctuations impinging on real materials. We compare our first order exact result with two common...

Scalar Casimir-Polder forces for uniaxial corrugations

We investigate the Dirichlet-scalar equivalent of Casimir-Polder forces between an atom and a surface with arbitrary uniaxial corrugations. The complexity of the problem can be reduced to a one-dimensional Green’s function equation along the corrugation which can be solved numerically. Our technique is fully nonperturbative in the height profile of the corrugation. We present explicit results f...
