We introduce essential subtrees for terms (trees) and tree automata . There are some results concerning independent sets of subtrees and separable sets for a tree and an automaton.

Ivo Damyanov, Slavcho Shtrakov

We continue studying essential inputs of trees and automata. Strongly essential inputs of trees are introduced and studied. Various examples for application in Computer Science are shown.

We present the results of gravitational direct $N$-body simulations using the commercial graphics processing units (GPU) NVIDIA Quadro FX1400 and GeForce 8800GTX, and compare the results with GRAPE-6Af special purpose hardware. The force evaluation of the $N$-body problem was implemented in Cg using the GPU directly to speed-up the calculations. The integrat

Continuous time random walks (CTRW) on finite arbitrarily inhomogeneous chains are studied. By introducing a technique of counting all possible trajectories, we derive closed-form solutions in Laplace space for the Green's function and for the first passage time probability density function (PDF) for nearest neighbor CTRWs in terms of the input waiting t

We report a quantum dot microcavity laser with a cw sub-microwatt lasing threshold, where a significant reduction of the lasing threshold is observed when a single quantum dot (QD) state is aligned with a cavity mode. The quality factor exceeds 15 000 before the system lases. When no QD states are resonant, below threshold the cavity mode initially degrades

To elucidate the nature of the single-particle excitations in the undoped parent cuprates, we have performed a detailed study of Ca2CuO2Cl2 using photoemission spectroscopy. The photoemission lineshapes of the lower Hubbard band are found to be well-described by a polaron model. By comparing the lineshape and temperature dependence of the lower Hubbard band

The Brownian dynamics of an optically trapped water droplet are investigated across the transition from over to under-damped oscillations. The spectrum of position fluctuations evolves from a Lorentzian shape typical of over-damped systems (beads in liquid solvents), to a damped harmonic oscillator spectrum showing a resonance peak. In this later under-dampe

We present an efficient first-principles approach for calculating Fermi surface averages and spectral properties of solids, and use it to compute the low-field Hall coefficient of several cubic metals and the magnetic circular dichroism of iron. The first step is to perform a conventional first-principles calculation and store the low-lying Bloch functions e

We report on measurements of resonantly enhanced tunneling of Bose-Einstein condensates loaded into an optical lattice. By controlling the initial conditions of our system we were able to observe resonant tunneling in the ground and the first two excited states of the lattice wells. We also investigated the effect of the intrinsic nonlinearity of the condens

Large scale molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the structural and dynamical modifications of supercooled water when confined inside an hydrophilic nanopore. We then investigate the evolution of the auto-organization of the most and the least mobile molecules (dynamical heterogeneity and string-like cooperative motions) when supercooled wa

The magnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)As thin films depend on both the Mn doping level and the carrier concentration. Using a post growth hydrogenation process we show that it is possible to decrease the hole density from 1.1021 cm-3 to <1017 cm-3 while maintaining the manganese concentration constant. For such a series of films we have investigated the variatio

One goal of this paper is to discuss the classical definition of granular temperature as an extension of its thermodynamic equivalent and a useful concept which provides an important characterization of fluidized granular matter. Following a review of some basic concepts and techniques (with emphasis on fundamental issues) we present new results for a system

We compare the energies of the striped Hall state and the anisotropic charge density wave (ACDW) state at half-filled third and higher Landau levels in the system with injected currents. With no injected current, the ACDW state has a lower energy. We find that the striped Hall state becomes the lower energy state when the injected current exceeds a critical

We calculate the operating parameters of a transition edge sensor that is mounted on a thin dielectric membrane with the assumption that the phononic heat transport in the membrane is ballistic. Our treatment uses the correct phonon modes from elasticity theory (Lamb-modes), and spans the transition from 3D to 2D behavior. The phonon cooling power and conduc

The first order phase transition of a water cluster confined in a dynamic single-walled carbon nanotube is investigated using a classical molecular dynamics (MD) method. The formation of ice-nanotube is monitored through the structure factor and potential energies. The transition temperature and its diameter dependence obtained by the simulations agree well

We present a structural analysis of the multi-layer graphene-4HSiC(000-1}) system using Surface X-Ray Reflectivity. We show for the first time that graphene films grown on the C-terminated (000-1}) surface have a graphene-substrate bond length that is very short (0.162nm). The measured distance rules out a weak Van der Waals interaction to the substrate and

In the local density approximation (LDA) for electronic time-dependent current-density functional theory (TDCDFT) many-body effects are described in terms of the visco-elastic constants of the homogeneous three-dimensional electron gas. In this paper we critically examine the applicability of the three-dimensional LDA to the calculation of the viscous dampin

We present results from a combined weak lensing and X-ray analysis of the merging cluster A1914 at a redshift of $z=0.1712$ based on $R_{\rm}$-band imaging data with Subaru/Suprime-Cam and archival Chandra X-ray data. Based on the weak-lensing and X-ray data we explore the relationships between cluster global properties, namely the gravitational mass, the bo

We have measured the host-galaxy starlight contribution to four lower-luminosity AGNs (NGC 3516, NGC 4593, IC 4329A, and NGC 7469). We include these objects with new broad line region measurements for NGC 4151 and NGC 4593 to present a revised version of the radius-luminosity relationship for AGNs.

As part of a major program to use isolated Local Group dwarf galaxies as near-field probes of cosmology, we have obtained deep images of the dwarf irregular galaxy Leo A with the Advanced Camera for Surveys aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. From these images we have constructed a color-magnitude diagram (CMD) reaching apparent [absolute] magnitudes of (M475

This paper presents new images and spectroscopy of NGC 34 (Mrk 938) obtained with the du Pont 2.5-m and Baade 6.5-m telescopes at Las Campanas, plus photometry of an HST archival V image. This Mv = -21.6 galaxy has often been classified as a Seyfert 2, yet recently published infrared spectra suggest a dominant central starburst. We find that the galaxy featu

We describe results from a new ground-based monitoring campaign on NGC 5548, the best studied reverberation-mapped AGN. We find that it was in the lowest luminosity state yet recorded during a monitoring program, namely L(5100) = 4.7 x 10^42 ergs s^-1. We determine a rest-frame time lag between flux variations in the continuum and the Hbeta line of 6.3 (+2.6

We illustrate the constraints that a possible detection of a non-trivial spatial topology may place on the cosmological density parameters by considering the $Λ$CDM model Poincaré dodecahedal space (PDS) topology as a circles-in-the-sky detectable topology. To this end we reanalyze the type Ia supernovae constraints on the density parameter plane $Ω_k$--$Ω_Λ

We analyzed deep Chandra observations of the Galactic plane region centered at l=28.55, b=-0.03 with the aim to obtain the best possible constraints on the contribution of weak point sources to the Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE) in this region. We demonstrate that the vast majority of the detected sources are Galactic in origin and are probably catacly

In Part I of this paper we described an equilibrium model of a jet in the gravitational field corresponding to the rigid-rotation region of the galactic disk. We used linear stability analysis to find the waveguide-resonance instability of internal gravity waves due to the superreflection of these waves from the jet boundary. In this part of the paper, we pe

Despite significant strides made towards understanding accretion, outflow, and emission processes in the Galactic Center supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, the presence of jets has neither been rejected nor proven. We investigate here whether the combined spectral and morphological properties of the source at radio through near infrared wavelengths are

We discuss causes of the formation of the observed kinematics and morphology of cones of ionized matter in the neighborhood of the nuclei of Seyfert galaxies. The results of linear stability analysis of an optically thin conic jet where radiation cooling and gravity play an important part are reported. The allowance for radiation cooling is shown to result i

The rotation-activity connection explains stellar activity in terms of rotation and convective overturn time. It is well established in stars of spectral types F--K and in M-type stars of young clusters. It is not established in field M-dwarfs, because they rotate very slowly, and detecting rotation periods or rotational line broadening is a challenge. In fi

We examine the Swift/X-ray Telescope (XRT) light curves from the first ~150 gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. Although we expected to find jet breaks at typical times of 1-2 days after the GRB, we find that these appear to be extremely rare. Typical light curves have a break in the slope at about 10^4s, followed by a single power-law decay whose slope is muc

The observation of photons with energies above 10^18 eV would open a new window in cosmic-ray research, with possible impact on astrophysics, particle physics, cosmology and fundamental physics. Current and planned air shower experiments, particularly the Pierre Auger Observatory, offer an unprecedented opportunity to search for such photons and to complemen

We present optical lightcurves of 428 periodic variable stars coincident with ROSAT X-ray sources, detected using the first run of the SuperWASP photometric survey. Only 68 of these were previously recognised as periodic variables. A further 30 of these objects are previously known pre-main sequence stars, for which we detect a modulation period for the firs

We investigate the structure and stability of hypercritical accretion flows around stellar-mass black holes, taking into account neutrino cooling, lepton conservation, and firstly a realistic equation of state in order to properly treat the dissociation of nuclei. We obtain the radial distributions of physical properties, such as density, temperature and ele

In the context of the Galactic Emission Mapping collaboration, a galactic survey at 5GHz is in preparation to properly characterize the galactic foreground to the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). For the North sky survey, a new receiver is being developed. This 5GHz heterodyne polarimeter has a high gain IF (intermediate frequency) chain using t

It is generally acknowledged that the mass loss of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars undergoes variations on different time scales. We constructed models for the dust envelopes for a sample of AGB stars to assess whether mass-loss variations influence the spectral energy distribution (SED). To constrain the variability, extra observations at millimetre wav

We present simulations of the non-linear evolution of streaming instabilities in protoplanetary disks. The two components of the disk, gas treated with grid hydrodynamics and solids treated as superparticles, are mutually coupled by drag forces. We find that the initially laminar equilibrium flow spontaneously develops into turbulence in our unstratified loc

Andrew Youdin, Anders Johansen

We present local simulations that verify the linear streaming instability that arises from aerodynamic coupling between solids and gas in protoplanetary disks. This robust instability creates enhancements in the particle density in order to tap the free energy of the relative drift between solids and gas, generated by the radial pressure gradient of the disk

We report results of a new spectral analysis of two BeppoSAX observations of the Z source GX 17+2. In one of the two observations the source exhibits a powerlaw-like hard (> 30 keV) X-ray tail which was described in a previous work by a hybrid Comptonization model. Recent high-energy observations with INTEGRAL of a sample of Low Mass X-Ray Binaries including

We announce the forthcoming public release of Version 1.1 of MGGPOD, a user-friendly suite of Monte Carlo codes built around the widely used GEANT (Version 3.21) package. MGGPOD is capable of simulating ab initio the physical processes relevant for the production of instrumental backgrounds. These processes include the build-up and delayed decay of radioacti

Planets orbiting in the habitable zone (HZ) of M-Dwarf stars are subject to high levels of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) which produce nitrogen oxides in earthlike atmospheres. We investigate to what extent this NOx may modify biomarker compounds such as ozone (O3) and nitrous oxide (N2O), as well as related compounds such as water (H2O) (essential for life) a

The imaging spectrometer SPI on board ESA&#39;s INTEGRAL observatory provides us with an unprecedented view of positron annihilation in our Galaxy. The first sky maps in the 511 keV annihilation line and in the positronium continuum from SPI showed a puzzling concentration of annihilation radiation in the Galactic bulge region. By now, more than twice as man

The X-ray light curves of hundreds of bursts are now available, thanks to the X-ray Telescope on board the Swift satellite, on time scales from ~1 minute up to weeks and in some cases months from the burst explosion. These data allow us to investigate the physics of the highly relativistic fireball outflow and its interaction with the circumburst environment

The recent detection of X-ray flares during the afterglow phase of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) suggests an inner-engine origin, at radii inside the forward shock. There must be inverse Compton (IC) emission arising from such flare photons scattered by forward shock afterglow electrons when they are passing through the forward shock. We find that this IC emission

A key phenomenon related to the Josephson effect is oscillations of different properties of superconducting tunneling junctions with magnetic field. We consider magnetic oscillations of the critical current in stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions, which are realized in mesas fabricated from layered high-temperature superconductors. The oscillation behavio

We report resistivity and Hall effect measurements in electron-doped Pr$_{2-x}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_{4-δ}$ films in magnetic field up to 58 T. In contrast to hole-doped cuprates, we find a surprising non-linear magnetic field dependence of Hall resistivity at high field in the optimally doped and overdoped films. We also observe a crossover from quadratic to linear

Analysis of the gauge residual freedom in the relativistic theory of lunar motion demonstrates that lunar laser ranging (LLR) is not currently capable to detect gravitomagnetic effects.

Martin Kunz

We use that gravity probes only the total energy momentum tensor to show how this leads to a degeneracy for generalised dark energy models. Because of this degeneracy, Omega_m cannot be measured. We demonstrate this explicitely by showing that the CMB and supernova data is compatible with very large and very small values of Omega_m for a specific family of d

Differences in clustering properties between galaxy subpopulations complicate the cosmological interpretation of the galaxy power spectrum, but can also provide insights about the physics underlying galaxy formation. To study the nature of this relative clustering, we perform a counts-in-cells analysis of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in wh

The detection of neutrinos from SN 1987A by the Kamiokande-II and Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven detectors provided the first glimpse of core collapse in a supernova, complementing the optical observations and confirming our basic understanding of the mechanism behind the explosion. One long-standing puzzle is that, when fitted with thermal spectra, the two inde

The luminosity distance - redshift relation for a wide class of generalized Randall-Sundrum type II brane-world models with Weyl fluid is compared to the presently available supernova data.

Electric charge density in a metallic nanoparticle fluctuates due to inhomogeneities of various kinds. While in the bulk these fluctuations are compensated via Thomas--Fermi screening, residual surface charges give rise to a permanent electric dipole moment. We show that this dipole moment increases linearly with particle size, and fluctuates strongly from p

We present a Full Potential Multiple Scattering (FP-MS) scheme for the interpretation of several X-ray spectroscopies that is a straightforward generalization of the more conventional Muffin-Tin (MT) version. Like this latter, it preserves the intuitive description of the physical process under consideration and overcomes some of the limitations of the exist

We reexamine neutron-proton pairing as a phenomenon that should be explanable in a microscopic theory of nuclear binding energies. Empirically, there is an increased separation energy when both neutron and proton numbers are even or if they are both odd. The enhancement is present at some level in nearly all nuclei: the separation energy difference has the o

We have mapped four regions of the southern Galactic plane at 31 GHz with the Cosmic Background Imager. From the maps, we have extracted the flux densities for six of the brightest \hii regions in the southern sky and compared them with multi-frequency data from the literature. The fitted spectral index for each source was found to be close to the theoretica

The precise layout of gene expression patterns is a crucial step in development. Formation of a sharp boundary between high and low expression domains requires a genetic mechanism which is both sensitive and robust to fluctuations, a demand that may not be easily achieved by morphogens alone. Recently it has been demonstrated that small RNAs (and, in particu

The properties of interstellar matter (ISM) at the Sun are regulated by our location with respect to the Local Bubble (LB) void in the ISM. The LB is bounded by associations of massive stars and fossil supernovae that have disrupted natal ISM and driven intermediate velocity ISM into the LB interior void. The Sun is located in such a driven ISM parcel. The L

We use an upper bound on Jacobsthal&#39;s function to complete a proof of a known density result. Apart from the bound on Jacobsthal&#39;s function used here, the proof we are completing uses only elementary methods and Dirichlet&#39;s theorem on the infinitude of primes in arithmetic progressions.

Let $G$ be a complex, linear algebraic group acting on an algebraic space $X$. The purpose of this paper is to prove a Riemann-Roch theorem (Theorem 5.3) which gives a description of the completion of the equivariant Grothendieck group $G_0(G,X)$ at any maximal ideal of the representation ring $R(G) \otimes \C$ in terms of equivariant cycles.

We define a universal version of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (KZB) connection in genus 1. This is a flat connection over a principal bundle on the moduli space of elliptic curves with marked points. It restricts to a flat connection on configuration spaces of points on elliptic curves, which can be used for proving the formality of the pure braid grou

We present an ab initio study of pure and doped TiO2 in the rutile and anatase phases. The main purpose of this work is to determine the role played by different defects and different crystal structures in the appearance of magnetic order. The calculations were performed for varying impurity and vacancy concentrations in both TiO2 structures. For Co impuriti

We investigate the effects of 1/f noise on the ability of a particular class of Cosmic Microwave Background experiments to measure the angular power spectrum of temperature anisotropy.

B-hadron physics plays a fundamental role to test and improve our understanding of flavor dynamics within and beyond the Standard Model. Of particular phenomenological interest are beauty hadron lifetime ratios and, width differences and semileptonic CP-asymmetries in B_d and B_s systems.

We discuss, for a two-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonian with random scalar potential, the presence of a $Z_2$ topological term in the non-linear sigma model encoding the physics of Anderson localization in the symplectic symmetry class. The $Z_2$ topological term realizes the sign of the Pfaffian of a family of Dirac operators. We compute the corresponding globa

Traffic-like collective movements are observed at almost all levels of biological systems. Molecular motor proteins like, for example, kinesin and dynein, which are the vehicles of almost all intra-cellular transport in eukayotic cells, sometimes encounter traffic jam that manifests as a disease of the organism. Similarly, traffic jam of collagenase MMP-1, w

The concept of determinism for a classical system is interpreted as the requirement that the solution to the Cauchy problem for the equations of motion governing this system be unique. This requirement is generally assumed to hold for all autonomous classical systems. We give counterexamples of this view. Our analysis of classical electrodynamics in a world

Warped extra dimensions provide a new playground to study electroweak brea-king and the nature of the higgs field. In this paper we reanalyze the electroweak observables in theories with one extra dimension and a completely general warp factor.

We prove that in the category F of functors between F2-vector spaces, the tensor product between three copies of the standard projective object P : V -> F2[V] and a functor of finite length is noetherian. The only case known to date was the noetherian character of P tensor 2 tensor F for F of finite length. For this wis use several division functors, whose e

The long gamma-ray burst GRB 060714 was observed to exhibit a series of five X-ray flares beginning ~70 s after the burst trigger T0 and continuing until T0 + ~200 s. The first two flares were detected by the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on the Swift satellite, before Swift had slewed to the burst location, while the last three flares were strongly detected b

Some models are presented in which the strength of the gravitational coupling of the potential energy relative to the same coupling for the kinetic energy is, in a precise sense, adjustable. The gauge symmetry of these models consists of those coordinate changes with unit jacobian.

Akihiko Inoue

We prove a representation of the partial autocorrelation function (PACF), or the Verblunsky coefficients, of a stationary process in terms of the AR and MA coefficients. We apply it to show the asymptotic behaviour of the PACF. We also propose a new definition of short and long memory in terms of the PACF.

We consider the action of the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields, $\mathfrak{vect}(1)$, by the Lie derivative on the space of symbols $\mathcal{S}_δ^n=\bigoplus_{j=0}^n \mathcal{F}_{δ-j}$. We study deformations of this action. We exhibit explicit expressions of some 2-cocycles generating the second cohomology space $\mathrm{H}^2_{\rm diff}(\mathfrak{vec

Let S be an arbitrary scheme. We define biextensions of 1-motives by 1-motives which we see as the geometrical origin of morphisms from the tensor product of two 1-motives to a third one. If S is the spectrum of a field of characteristic 0, we check that these biextensions define morphisms from the tensor product of the realizations of two 1-motives to the r

The global attraction is established for all finite energy solutions to a model $\mathbf{U}(1)$-invariant nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in one dimension coupled to a finite number of nonlinear oscillators: We prove that {\it each finite energy solution} converges as $t\to\pm\infty$ to the set of all ``nonlinear eigenfunctions&#39;&#39; of the form $ϕ(x)e\s

We solve the quantum Hall problem exactly in a limit and show that the ground states can be organized in a fractal pattern consistent with the Haldane-Halperin hierarchy, and with the global phase diagram.

The production of D*+-(2010) mesons in ep scattering in the range of exchanged photon virtuality 0.05 < Q^2 < 0.7 GeV^2 has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 82 pb-1. The decay channels D*+ -> D0 pi+ with D0 -> K- pi+ and corresponding antiparticle decay were used to identify D* mesons and the ZEUS beampipe calori

Chen, Sederberg, and Zheng introduced the notion of a $μ$-basis for a rational ruled surface in Chen et al. (2001) and showed that its resultant is the implicit equation of the surface, if the parametrization is generically injective. We generalize this result to the case of an arbitrary parametrization. We also give a new proof for the corresponding theorem

We present an analytic mean field theory for relaxational dynamics in spatially extended systems that undergo purely noise-induced phase transitions to ordered states. The theory augments the usual mean field approach with a Gaussian ansatz that yields quantitatively accurate results for strong coupling. We obtain analytic results not only for steady state m

We analyze findings of the Stardust mission that brought to the Earth dust from the 81P/Wild 2 coma. Just as the data of the Deep Impact mission to 9P/Tempel 1, they are at odds with the widely accepted condensation/sublimation comet paradigm. They fit rather well to the approach assuming ejection of nuclei of short-period comets from moon-like bodies of the

In this letter we assert that we have reconstructed the nonlinear filter function of LILI-128 stream cipher on IBM notebook PC using MATLAB. Our reconstruction need approximately 2^12~2^13 and the attack consumes 5825.016 sec (using tic and toc sentences of MATLAB) or 5825.016/3600=1.6181hours.

We show that an additional triplet component of the order parameter is generated in the vortex phase of the d-wave superconductor. Spatial variations of the triplet component are analyzed for a strong spin-orbit coupling.

A cohomological support, Supp_A(M), is defined for finitely generated modules M over an left noetherian ring R, with respect to a ring A of central cohomology operations on the derived category of R-modules. It is proved that if the A-module Ext^R(M,M) is noetherian and Ext_i^R(M,R)=0 for i>>0, then every closed subset of Supp_A(M) is the support of some fin

It is shown that a 25(20)% difference between the decay constants $f_{D_s}(f_{B_s})$ and $f_D(f_B)$ occurs due to large differences in the pole masses of the $s$ and $d(u)$ quarks. The values $η_D =f_{D_s}/f_D\approx 1.23(15)$, recently observed in the CLEO experiment, and $η_B=f_{B_s}/f_B\approx 1.20$, obtained in unquenched lattice QCD, can be reached only

At redshifts z >~ 30 neutral hydrogen gas absorbs CMB radiation at the 21cm spin-flip frequency. In principle this is observable and a high-precision probe of cosmology. We calculate the linear-theory angular power spectrum of this signal and cross-correlation between redshifts on scales much larger than the line width. In addition to the well known redshift

Higher-rank versions of Wold decomposition are shown to hold for doubly commuting isometric representations of product systems of C*-correspondences over N^k, generalising the classical result for a doubly commuting pair of isometries due to M.Slocinski. Certain decompositions are also obtained for the general, not necessarily doubly commuting, case and seve

Transverse momentum spectra of pi^{+/-} at midrapidity are measured at high p_T in p+p and p+Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon beam energy by the NA49 experiment. This study is complementary to our previous results on the same spectra from Pb+Pb collisions. The nuclear modification factors R_{A+A/p+p}, R_{p+A/p+p} and R_{A+A/p+A} as a function of p_T are extr

We study the minimal dimension of the classifying space of the family of virtually cyclic subgroups of a discrete group. We give a complete answer for instance if the group is virtually poly-Z, word-hyperbolic or countable locally virtually cyclic. We give examples of groups for which the difference of the minimal dimensions of the classifying spaces of virt

We systematically compute the effective short-range potentials arising from second order QCD-diagrams related to bound states of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons. Our formalism relies on the assumption that the exchanged gluons are massless, while the constituent gluons as well as the lightest quarks acquire a nonvanishing constituent mass because of confineme

Given a holomorphic regularisation procedure (e.g. Riesz or dimensional regularisation) on classical symbols, we define renormalised multiple integrals of radial classical symbols with linear constraints. To do so, we first prove the existence of meromorphic extensions of multiple integrals of holomorphic perturbations ofradial symbols with linear constraint

Results of theoretical calculations of ionization rates of Rb and Na Rydberg atoms by blackbody radiation (BBR) are presented. Calculations have been performed for nS, nP and nD states of Na and Rb, which are commonly used in a variety of experiments, at principal quantum numbers n=8-65 and at three ambient temperatures of 77, 300 and 600 K. A peculiarity of

Following Feigin and Fuchs, we compute the first cohomology of the Lie superalgebra $\mathcal{K}(1)$ of contact vector fields on the (1,1)-dimensional real superspace with coefficients in the superspace of linear differential operators acting on the superspaces of weighted densities. We also compute the same, but $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$-relative, cohomology. W

We show that current correlations at the exit ports of a beam splitter can be used to detect electronic entanglement for a fairly general input state. This includes the situation where electron pairs can enter the beam splitter from the same port or be separated due to backscattering. The proposed scheme allows to discriminate between occupation-number and d

We present a nearly-linear time algorithm for counting and randomly generating simple graphs with a given degree sequence in a certain range. For degree sequence $(d_i)_{i=1}^n$ with maximum degree $d_{\max}=O(m^{1/4-τ})$, our algorithm generates almost uniform random graphs with that degree sequence in time $O(m\,d_{\max})$ where $m=\f{1}{2}\sum_id_i$ is th

The Cern Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) is in operation and taking data since 2003. The main objective of the CAST experiment is to search for a hypothetical pseudoscalar boson, the axion, which might be produced in the core of the sun. The basic physics process CAST is based on is the time inverted Primakoff effect, by which an axion can be converted into a d
