We present an empirical analysis of the effectiveness of frame selection (also known as Lucky Imaging) techniques for high resolution imaging. A high-speed image recording system has been used to observe a number of bright stars. The observations were made over a wide range of values of D/r0 and exposure time. The improvement in Strehl ratio of the stellar i

We report the use of impurities to probe the hidden order parameter of the strongly correlated metal URu_2Si_2 below the transition temperature T_0 ~ 17.5 K. The nature of this order parameter has eluded researchers for more than two decades, but is accompanied by the development of a partial gap in the single particle density of states that can be detected

Dense, unmanaged 802.11 deployments tempt saboteurs into launching jamming attacks by injecting malicious interference. Nowadays, jammers can be portable devices that transmit intermittently at low power in order to conserve energy. In this paper, we first conduct extensive experiments on an indoor 802.11 network to assess the ability of two physical layer f

In this paper, we find an expression for the density of the sum of two independent $d-$dimensional Student $t-$random vectors $\mathbf{X}$ and $\mathbf{Y}$ with arbitrary degrees of freedom. As a byproduct we also obtain an expression for the density of the sum $\mathbf{N}+\mathbf{X}$, where $\mathbf{N}$ is normal and $\mathbf{X}$ is an independent Student $

We present a scheme for the fast generation of entangled photons from a single quantum dot coupled to a planar photonic crystal that support two orthogonally polarized cavity modes. We discuss ``within generation'' and ``across generation'' of entangled photons when both biexciton to exciton, and exciton to ground state transitions, are coupled through cavit

This paper presents an analysis of the star atlas included in the medieval Chinese manuscript (Or.8210/S.3326), discovered in 1907 by the archaeologist Aurel Stein at the Silk Road town of Dunhuang and now held in the British Library. Although partially studied by a few Chinese scholars, it has never been fully displayed and discussed in the Western world. T

We describe a modified form of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) in which the specific thermal energy equation is based on a compatibly differenced formalism, guaranteeing exact conservation of the total energy. We compare the errors and convergence rates of the standard and compatible SPH formalisms on analytic test problems involving shocks. We find th

We study the height variations of the sizes of chromospheric and transition-region features in a small coronal hole and the adjacent quiet Sun, considering images of the intensity, Doppler shift, and non-thermal motion of ultraviolet emission lines as measured by SUMER, together with the magnetic field as obtained by extrapolation from photospheric magnetogr

We analyse the violations of lepton-flavour universality in the ratios B(P -> l nu)/B(P -> l' nu) using a general effective theory approach, discussing various flavour-symmetry breaking patterns of physics beyond the SM. We find that in models with Minimal Lepton Flavour Violation the effects are too small to be observed in the next generations of experi

In this work, we study a $U(1) \times U(1) ^{\prime}-$ model that results from a dimensional reduction of the N=1-D=4 supersymmetric version of the Cremer-Scherk-Kalb-Ramond model with non-minimal coupling to matter. Field truncations are not carried out, two Abelian symmetries coexist and three vector fields are present; two of them are gauge bosons. Then,

We are used to describe the detection of light in terms of particles and its propagation from the source to the detection, by waves. For instance, the slowing down of light in a transparent medium is always explained within the electromagnetic wave framework. We propose to approach that phenomenon through a purely corpuscular description. We find expression

The CMB temperature power spectrum offers ambiguous evidence for the existence of horizon-scale power in the primordial power spectrum due to uncertainties in spatial curvature and the physics of cosmic acceleration as well as the observed low quadrupole. Current polarization data from WMAP provide evidence for horizon-scale power that is robust to these unc

We numerically compute the spatial string tension in the deconfined phase of three dimensional QCD in the large N limit. Our results clearly show that the string tension grows linearly with temperature.

We present optical ($UBVI_C$) observations of a rich and complex field in the Galactic plane towards $l \sim 305^{\circ}$ and $b \sim 0^{\circ}$. Our analysis reveals a significantly high interstellar absorbtion ($A_V \sim 10$) and an abnormal extinction law in this line of sight. Availing a considerable number of color combinations, the photometric diagrams

We prove that any potential symmetry of a system of evolution equations reduces to a Lie symmetry through a nonlocal transformation of variables. Based on this fact is our method of group classification of potential symmetries of systems of evolution equations having non-trivial Lie symmetry. Next, we modify the above method to generate more general nonlocal

We performed a systematic study of the Doppler shifts and electron densities measured in an EUV bright point (hereafter BP) observed in more than 10 EUV lines with formation temperatures from log (T/K) p 4.5 to 6.3. Those parts of a BP seen in transition region and coronal lines are defined as its cool and hot components, respectively. We find that the trans

I present a bijection on integer partitions that leads to recursive expressions, closed formulae and generating functions for the cardinality of certain sets of partitions of a positive integer $n$.

In this paper we describe in detail and generalize a method for quantum process tomography that was presented in [A. Bendersky, F. Pastawski, J. P. Paz, Physical Review Letters 100, 190403 (2008)]. The method enables the efficient estimation of any element of the $χ$--matrix of a quantum process. Such elements are estimated as averages over experimental outc

We investigate the statistics of flat-top solitary wave parameters in the presence of weak multiplicative dissipative disorder. We consider first propagation of solitary waves of the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (CQNLSE) in the presence of disorder in the cubic nonlinear gain.

The cross sections of the $^3$He($α$,$α$)$^3$He and $^3$He($α$,$γ$)$^7$Be reactions are studied at low energies using a simple two-body model in combination with a double-folding potential. At very low energies the capture cross section is dominated by direct s-wave capture. However, at energies of several MeV the d-wave contribution increases, and the theor

Computation of high frequency solutions to wave equations is important in many applications, and notoriously difficult in resolving wave oscillations.

We present a detailed analysis of classical solutions in the bosonic sector of the electroweak theory which describe vortices carrying a constant electric current ${\cal I}$. These vortices exist for any value of the Higgs boson mass and for any weak mixing angle, and in the zero current limit they reduce to Z strings. Their current is produced by the conden

We propose a unique way to control both bandgap and the magnetic properties of nanoscale graphene, which might prove highly beneficial for application in nanoelectronic and spintronic devices. We have shown that chemical doping by nitrogen along a single zigzag edge breaks the sublattice symmetry of graphene. This leads to the opening of a gap and a shift of

We study non-linear dc transport in graphene using a hydrodynamic approach and conclude that in clean samples the drift velocity saturates at a weakly density-dependent value v_{sat} ~ 10^7 cm/s. We show that saturation results from the interactions between graphene's Dirac quasi-particles and both acoustic and optical phonons. Saturation is accompanied

We present new 5.2-14.5 micron low-resolution spectra of 14 mid-L to mid-T dwarfs, as well as 3.0-4.1 micron spectra for five of these dwarfs. These data are supplemented by existing red and near-infrared spectra (0.6-2.5 micron), as well as red through mid-infrared spectroscopy of seven other L and T dwarfs presented by Cushing et al.

Two examples of $\mathrm{Diff}^+S^1$-invariant closed two-forms obtained from forms on jet bundles, which does not admit equivariant moment maps are presented. The corresponding cohomological obstruction is computed and shown to coincide with a nontrivial Lie algebra cohomology class on $H^2(\mathfrak{X}(S^1))$.

We report on some technical aspects of our calculation of alpha_s^4 corrections to R(s) and the semi-leptonic tau decay width [1-3]. We discuss the inner structure of the result as well as the issue of its correctness. We demonstrate recently appeared independent evidence positively testing one of two components of the full result.

We study the entanglement dynamics in a two-spin system governed by a bilinear Hamiltonian and assisted by phase kicks. It is found that the application of instant kicks to both spins at some specific moments leads to enhancement of entanglement. This procedure also improves the transient character of entanglement leading, for large spins, to a formation of

In this paper, we study the problem of minimizing the first eigenvalue of the $p-$Laplacian plus a potential with weights, when the potential and the weight are allowed to vary in the class of rearrangements of a given fixed potential $V_0$ and weight $g_0$. Our results generalized those obtained in [9] and [5].

We develop a biorthogonal linear-scaling algorithm for a transcorrelated method based on the localized nature of transformed orbitals. The transcorrelated method, which employs a similarity-transformed Hamiltonian referred to as a transcorrelated Hamiltonian, enables highly accurate first-principles condensed-matter calculations in principle.

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold which either is compact or has a pole, and let $φ$ be a positive smooth function on $M$. In the warped product $M\times_φ\mathbb R$, we study the flow by the mean curvature of a locally Lipschitz continuous graph on $M$ and prove that the flow exists for all time and that the evolving hypersurface is $C^\infty$ for $

Saturation models -- colour glass condensate and string percolation -- impose a strict relation between the average transverse momentum, <P_T>, and the rapidity particle densities, dn/dy. By combining this relation with an appropriate evolution equation for dn/dy, and imposing energy-momentum conservation, we obtain a fair description of data, for generic AB

In this paper, we investigate the relevance of using the $^{12}$CO line emissions as indicators of star formation rates (SFR). For the first time, we present this study for a relatively large number of $^{12}$CO transitions (12) as well as over a large interval in redshift (from z$\sim$0 to z$\sim$6). For the nearby sources (D$\leq$10 Mpc), we have used homo

A bright UV GALEX image in the direction of a dense high galactic latitude interstellar dust cloud is examined to test (and to reject) the idea that a bright extragalactic UV background radiation field exists. A GALEX &#34;Deep Imaging Survey&#34; image of a second high latitude region (a region almost totally free of dust) shows a similar bright background,

The multidimensional assignment problem (MAP) (abbreviated s-AP in the case of s dimensions) is an extension of the well-known assignment problem. The most studied case of MAP is 3-AP, though the problems with larger values of s have also a number of applications. In this paper we consider four fast construction heuristics for MAP. One of the heuristics is n

The Mueller-Stokes formalism which governs conventional polarization optics is formulated for plane waves, and thus the only qualification one could demand of a $4\times 4$ real matrix $M$ in order that it qualifies to be the Mueller matrix of some physical system is that $M$ should map $Ω^{({\rm pol})}$, the positive cone of Stokes vectors, into itself.

The aim of the present work is to study the overall mass distribution of the galaxy clusters Abell 1351 and Abell 1995 using weak gravitational lensing.

In the framework of the MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), the internal dynamics of a gravitating system s embedded in a larger one S is affected by the external background field E of S even if it is constant and uniform, thus implying a violation of the Strong Equivalence Principle: it is the so-called External Field Effect (EFE).

We consider the problem of a sphere rolling of a curved surface and solve it by mapping it to the precession of a spin 1/2 in a magnetic field of variable magnitude and direction. The mapping can be of pedagogical use in discussing both rolling and spin precession, and in particular in understanding the emergence of geometrical phases in classical problems.

The purpose of this paper is to study finiteness conditions on injective hulls of simple modules over Noetherian Down-Up algebras. We will show that the Noetherian Down-Up algebras A(α,β,γ) which are fully bounded are precisely those which are module-finite over a central subalgebra. We show that injective hulls of simple A(α,β,γ)-modules are locally Artinia

We consider the problem of multivariate density estimation when the unknown density is assumed to follow a particular form of dimensionality reduction, a noisy independent factor analysis (IFA) model. In this model the data are generated by a number of latent independent components having unknown distributions and are observed in Gaussian noise. We do not as

An overview of recent measurements of charm and beauty production in ep collisions at HERA is presented. Various techniques are used by the ZEUS and H1 collaborations to efficiently tag heavy quarks in events and different regions of phase space are explored. Differential cross sections are measured in both photoproduction and deep-inelastic scattering. The

We discuss the formulation of the prototype gauge field theory, QED, in the context of two-particle-irreducible (2PI) functional techniques with particular emphasis on the issues of renormalization and gauge symmetry. We show how to renormalize all $n$-point vertex functions of the (gauge-fixed) theory at any approximation order in the 2PI loop-expansion by

In-gas-cell laser spectroscopy study of the 57,59,63,65Cu isotopes has been performed for the first time using the 244.164 nm optical transition from the atomic ground state of copper. The nuclear magnetic dipole moments for 57,59,65Cu relative to that of 63Cu have been extracted. The new value for 57Cu of mu(57Cu) = +2.582(7)mu_N is in strong disagreement w

Relativistic models developed for the exclusive and inclusive QuasiElastic (QE) electron scattering have been extended to Charged-Current (CC) and Neutral-Current (NC) neutrino-nucleus scattering. The results of different descriptions of Final-State Interactions (FSI) are compared.

Dendritic cells are known to be activated by a wide range of microbial products, leading to cytokine production and increased levels of membrane markers such as major histocompatibility complex class II molecules. Such activated dendritic cells possess the capacity to activate naïve T cells. In the present study we demonstrated that immature dendritic cells

We present a deep and wide field-of-view (4&#39;x 7&#39;) image of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7293 (the Helix Nebula) in the 2.12 micron H2 v=1-0 S(1) line. The excellent seeing (0.4&#39;&#39;) at the Subaru Telescope, allows the details of cometary knots to be examined. The knots are found at distances of 2.2&#39;-6.4&#39; from the central star (CS). At

We investigate the transport of a single excitation through a chain of weakly coupled subunits. At both ends the chain is exposed to baths which are incorporated by means of a master equation in Lindblad form. This master equation is solved by the use of stochastic unraveling in order to obtain excitation profile and current in the steady state. Completely d

This short note contains random thoughts about a factorization theorem for closure/interior operators on a powerset which is reminiscent to the notion of resolution for a monad/comonad. The question originated from formal topology but is interesting in itself. The result holds constructively (even if it classically has several variations); but usually not pr

Discuss several tricks for solving twenty question problems which in this paper is depicted as a guessing game. Player tries to find a ball in twenty boxes by asking as few questions as possible, and these questions are answered by only &#34;Yes&#34; or &#34;No&#34;. With the discussion, demonstration of source coding methods is the main concern.

Let $(E)$ a homogeneous linear differential equation of order $n$ Fuchsien over $\mathbb{P}^{1}(\mathbb{C}) $. The idea of Riemann (1857) was to obtain the properties of solutions of (E) by studying the local system. Thus, he obtained some properties of Gauss hypergeometric functions by studying the assocated rank 2 local system over $\mathbb{P}^{1}(\mathbb{

In the previous paper we generalized Greenberg&#39;s construction of the $\Cal L$-invariant to semistable representations. Here we prove that this construction is compatible with Perrin-Riou&#39;s theory of $p$-adic $L$-functions
