In the Type II superstring the 4-point function for massless NS-NS bosons at one-loop is well known [1][14]. The overall constant factor in this amplitude is very important because it needs to satisfy the unitarity and S-duality conditions [14]. This coefficient has not been computed in the pure spinor formalism due to the difficulty to solve the integrals o

The exciton and biexciton binding energy have been studied for a ZnSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dot using WKB (Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin) approximation. The exciton binding energy increases for small shell thickness and for large thickness, the binding energy again starts decreasing. A similar result is obtained for biexcitons where for thicker shells, the biex

The density fluctuation spectrum in the solar wind reveals a Kolmogorov-like scaling with a spectral slope of -5/3 in wavenumber space. The energy transfer process in the magnetized solar wind, characterized typically by MHD turbulence, over extended length-scales remains an unresolved paradox of modern turbulence theories, raising the question of how a comp

An instrument has been constructed to measure a large range of magnetostriction and thermal expansion between room temperature and 4 K in a superconductive split-coil magnet, that allows investigation in magnetic fields up to 12 T. The very small bulk samples (up to 1 mm in size) as well as big ones (up to 13 mm) of the irregular form can be measured. The po

We compare the abundances of various chemical species as derived with 3D hydrodynamical and classical 1D stellar atmosphere codes in a late-type giant characterized by T_eff=3640K, log g = 1.0, [M/H] = 0.0. For this particular set of atmospheric parameters the 3D-1D abundance differences are generally small for neutral atoms and molecules but they may reach

For an ideal $I$ in a regular local ring or a graded ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring we study the limiting behavior of the Betti numbers of S/I^k as k goes to infinity. By Kodiyalam's result it is known that in each homological degree the Betti number is a polynomial for large k. We call these polynomials the Kodiyalam polynomials and encode the limitin

Using a finite-dimensional Clifford algebra a new combinatorial product formula for the small quantum cohomology ring of the complex Grassmannian is presented. In particular, Gromov-Witten invariants can be expressed through certain elements in the Clifford algebra, this leads to a q-deformation of the Racah-Speiser algorithm allowing for their computation i

Based on the Ogorodnikov-Milne model, we analyze the proper motions of 95 633 red giant clump (RGC) stars from the Tycho-2 Catalogue. The following Oort constants have been found: A = 15.9+-0.2 km/s/kpc and B = -12.0+-0.2 km/s/kpc. Using 3632 RGC stars with known proper motions, radial velocities, and photometric distances, we show that, apart from the star

A summary of the most up-to-date top quark mass measurements at CDF is presented. These analyses use top-antitop candidate events detected in the CDF experiment at the Tevatron collider with an integrated luminosity of up to ~3/fb. The combination of all those measurements together with the corresponding top mass measurements from the concurrently running D0

The mixings between BMN operators with two scalar impurities and those with a scalar fermion pair are discussed to the lowest order at planar level. For this purpose, matrix model effective vertices are calculated to O(g^3). All the mixing patterns are explicitly obtained.

We study the effect of thermal equilibration on the transport properties of a weakly interacting one-dimensional electron system. Although equilibration is severely suppressed due to phase-space restrictions and conservation laws, it can lead to intriguing signatures in partially equilibrated quantum wires. We consider an ideal homogeneous quantum wire. We f

We use static solutions of 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein gravity to generate several classes of static, spherically symmetric spacetimes which are analytic solutions to the equation $^{(4)}R = 0$, where $^{(4)}R$ is the four-dimensional Ricci scalar. In the Randall $&$ Sundrum scenario they can be interpreted as vacuum solutions on the brane. The solutions cont

We study the nonlinear mean-field dynamics of molecule formation at coherent photo- and magneto-association of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate for the case when the external field configuration is defined by the quasi-linear level crossing Demkov-Kunike model, characterized by a bell-shaped pulse and finite variation of the detuning. We present a general

The gravitational coupling parameter G is determined by a non riemannian curvature scalar of a background substratum. This substratum represents an inertial solution to the nonlinear equations of a geometric unified theory and provides a limit solution to general solutions in the theory. When a solution approaches the substratum solution as a limit we physic

This paper describes the discovery potential for new resonances with the ATLAS experiment. The resonances discussed in here are the Z', leptoquarks, graviton and W' resonances in some of their leptonic final states, considering a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV for all of them, and an estimation of the potential of the W' search at the early cent

We find that traditional statistics for measuring degree mixing are strongly affected by superrich nodes. To counteract and measure the effect of superrich nodes, we propose a paradigm to quantify the mixing pattern of a real network in which different mixing patterns may appear among low-degree nodes and among high-degree nodes. The new paradigm and the sim

I review the basis and limitations of plausible inference in cosmology, in particular the limitation that it can only provide fundamentally true inferences when the hypotheses under consideration form a set that is exhaustive. They never do; this recommends abandoning realism. Despite this, we can adopt a scientifically correct pragmatism and understand aspe

When $β\leσ<\displaystyle\min \Big\{{3\over 2}β, d\Big\}$, this has to be defined as a limit, in the spirit of renormaliz

This paper studies Schauder frames in Banach spaces, a concept which is a natural generalization of frames in Hilbert spaces and Schauder bases in Banach spaces. The associated minimal and maximal spaces are introduced, as are shrinking and boundedly complete Schauder frames. Our main results extend the classical duality theorems on bases to the situation of

Networks are useful for describing systems of interacting objects, where the nodes represent the objects and the edges represent the interactions between them. The applications include chemical and metabolic systems, food webs as well as social networks.

The process of dimerization, in which two monomers bind to each other and form a dimer, is common in nature. This process can be modeled using rate equations, from which the average copy numbers of the reacting monomers and of the product dimers can then be obtained. However, the rate equations apply only when these copy numbers are large. In the limit of sm

As a natural extension of Fan&#39;s paper (arXiv: 0903.1769vl [quant-ph]) by employing the formula of operators&#39; Weyl ordering expansion and the bipartite entangled state representation we find new two-fold complex integration transformation about the Wigner operator (in its entangled form) in phase space quantum mechanics and its inverse transformation.

We studied how the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) affects the propagation of super-GZK protons that originate from extragalactic sources within the local GZK sphere. Toward this end, we set up hypothetical sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays (UHECRs), virtual observers, and the magnetized cosmic web in a model universe constructed from cosmological

In the nonconvex case solutions of rate-independent systems may develop jumps as a function of time. To model such jumps, we adopt the philosophy that rate independence should be considered as limit of systems with smaller and smaller viscosity. For the finite-dimensional case we study the vanishing-viscosity limit of doubly nonlinear equations given in term

During the recent years the Konkoly Blazhko Group (PIs Johanna Jurcsik and Béla Szeidl, co-workers Ádám Sódor, Zsombor Hurta and several undergraduate, graduate students) published new important results of Blazhko variables in 15 reviewed Journal articles. These results utilize multicolor CCD observations obtained with an automatic 60 cm telescope, and also

We present and analyze an exact 5-dimensional vacuum solution of Einstein equation with non-negative cosmological constant written in a C-metric like coordinate. The metric does not contain any black hole horizons in it, but has two acceleration horizons and a static patch in between. The coordinate system, horizon geometry and global structures are analyzed

In this write-up we summarize main result of our recent analysis on the mixing between transverse $ρ$ and $a_1$ mesons through a set of $ωρa_1$-type interactions in dense baryonic matter. In the analysis, we showed that a clear enhancement of the vector spectral function appears below $\sqrt{s}=m_ρ$ for small three-momenta of the $ρ$ meson, and thus the vect

We combine results from CDF and DO on direct searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in pbar-p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. Compared to the previous Higgs Tevatron combination, more data and new channels (WH to tau nu b bbar, VH to tau tau b bbar/jj tau tau, VH to jj b bbar, t tbar H to t tbar b bbar) have been added. M

The situation with asymptotically flat gravitating spinor field solutions is considered. It is supposed that the problem of constructing these solutions is connected with confinement problem in quantum chromodynamics. It is argued that in both cases we must use a nonperturbative quantum technique.

Gauge fields associated with the manifestly covariant dynamics of particles in $(3,1)$ spacetime are five-dimensional. In this paper we explore the old problem of fields generated by a source undergoing hyperbolic motion in this framework. The 5D fields are computed numerically using absolute time $τ$-retarded Green-functions, and qualitatively compared with

We consider the activated random walk (ARW) model where particles follow the path of a general Markov process on a general graph. We prove ARW dominates a simpler process, multiple source internal aggregation (MSIA), and use this to formulate a deterministic sufficient condition on initial occupations for nonfixation of ARW and similar variants.

The proton-to-pion ratios measured in the BRAHMS experiment for Au+Au and p+p collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 62.4 and 200 GeV are presented as a function of transverse momentum and collision centrality at selected pseudorapidities in the range of 0 to 3.8. A strong pseudorapidity dependence of these ratios is observed. We also compare the magnitude and p_T-

Using the analogy between the description of coherent light propagation in a medium with Kerr nonlinearity by means of nonlinear Schrödinger equation and that of a dissipationless liquid we propose an optical analogue of the Laval nozzle.

When a biased conductor is put in proximity with an unbiased conductor a drag current can be induced in the absence of detailed balance. This is known as the Coulomb drag effect. However, even in this situation far away from equilibrium where detailed balance is explicitly broken, theory predicts that fluctuation relations are satisfied. This surprising effe

Phospholipid monolayers at the air-water interface serve as model systems for various biological interfaces, e.g. lung surfactant layers and outer leaflets of cell membranes.

Our fluid dynamics video shows the response of a layer of viscoelastic fluid to an array of four-roll mills steadily rotating underneath. When the relaxation time of the fluid is sufficiently long, the fluid divides into &#34;cells&#34; with a convex free surface above the site of each roller. This is reminiscent of the rod-climbing effect. On this relaxatio

Although various schemes for anhomomorphic logics for quantum mechanics have been considered in the past we shall mainly concentrate on the quadratic or grade-2 scheme. In this scheme, the grade-2 truth functions are called coevents. We discuss properties of coevents, projections on the space of coevents and the master observable. We show that the set of pro

In this statistical mechanics model, the field takes values in a supermanifold based on the hyperbolic plane. The existence of a diffusive phase in 3 dimensions was proved for low temperatures.

Implementing an idea due to John Baez and James Dolan we define new invariants of Whitney stratified manifolds by considering the homotopy theory of smooth transversal maps. To each Whitney stratified manifold we assign transversal homotopy monoids, one for each natural number. The assignment is functorial for a natural class of maps which we call stratified

We propose a method for encoding iterators (and recursion operators in general) using interaction nets (INs). There are two main applications for this: the method can be used to obtain a visual nota- tion for functional programs; and it can be used to extend the existing translations of the lambda-calculus into INs to languages with recursive types.

Following a previous work (hep-th/0410248), where a scalar field theory with a modified propagator and phi^4 interaction in 4 dimensions is constructed to be UV-finite, unitary and Lorentz invariant, we discuss in this paper general phi^n theory in arbitrary even space-time dimensions. We show that the theory is still UV-finite, unitary and Lorentz invariant

A concept of the total velocity that contains velocity and oscillatory velocity is proposed for the velocity solution of Dirac equation.

For this reason, the velocity solution of Dirac equation is taken as the definition of elementary particles. Leptons, mesons

The Schur algebra is the algebra of operators which are bounded on l^1 and on l^{\infty}. Q. Sun conjectured that the Schur algebra is inverse-closed. In this note, we disprove this conjecture.

Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) used for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy at TeV energies use reflectors with areas on the order of 100m$^2$ as their primary optic. These tessellated reflectors comprise hundreds of mirror facets mounted on a space frame to achieve this large area at a reasonable cost. To achieve a reflecting surface of suffi

Langevin forces are investigated in the framework of the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory. These stochastic forces introducted in the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation describing the superconductor transport properties above the critical temperature model the fluctuations action. We assume that there exists a profound connection betw

We study a multi-source Gaussian relay network consisting of $K$ source--destination pairs having $K$ unicast sessions. We assume $M$ layers of relays between the sources and the destinations. We find achievable degrees of freedom of the network. Our schemes are based on interference alignment at the transmitters and symbol extension and opportunistic interf

OPERA is an experiment that aims at detecting the appearance of tau-neutrino in an almost pure mu-neutrino beam (the CNGS neutrino beam) through oscillation. OPERA is a hybrid detector that associates nuclear emulsions to electronic detectors. The nuclear emulsion provides the resolution necessary to detect tau-neutrino CC interactions. The first physics run

Oppositely charged drops have long been assumed to experience an attractive force that favors their coalescence. In this fluid dynamics video we demonstrate the existence of a critical field strength above which oppositely charged drops do not coalesce. We observe that appropriately positioned and oppositely charged drops migrate towards one another in an ap

Drops of water at room temperature were released in hot oil, which had a temperature higher than that of the boiling point of water. Initially, the drop temperature increases slowly mainly due to heat transfer diffusion; convective heat transfer is small because the motion takes place at a small Reynolds number. Once the drop reaches the bottom of the contai

We study the sigma term and the strange quark content of nucleon in 2+1-flavor QCD with dynamical overlap fermions. We analyze the lattice data of nucleon mass taken at two different strange quark masses with five values of up and down quark masses each. Using the reweighting technique, we study the strange quark mass dependence of the nucleon and extract th

A spontaneous buckling transition in thin layers of monodomain nematic liquid crystalline gel was observed by polarized light microscopy. The coupling between the orientational ordering of liquid crystalline solvent and the translational ordering of crosslinked polymer backbones inside the nematic gel contributes to such buckling transition. As the nematic m
