This article presents the $A$-dependence of the differential cross section for the coherent electroproduction of vector mesons on nuclei in forward direction, at fixed values of longitudinal momentum transfer $q_{L}$. It is shown that such cross section has complicated behavior over the atomic mass number $A$ with local minimums and maximums. It is also shown that a ratio of the real to the imaginary parts of the forward coherent amplitude on nuclei $\alpha_{A} = \Re e{f_{A}} / \Im m{f_{A}}$ has breaking points at some values of $A$. Comparison of the behaviors of the normalized cross section $\Big(\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}\Big)_{A}\Big/\Big(\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}\Big)_{N}$ and $\alpha_{A}$ over $A$ shows that the location of minimums of the cross section are very close to the breaking points of $\alpha_{A}$.

Within the context of the nascent e-Science infrastructure in Venezuela, we describe several web-based scientific applications developed at the Centro Nacional de Calculo Cientifico Universidad de Los Andes (CeCalCULA), Merida, and at the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cientificas (IVIC), Caracas. The different strategies that have been followed for implementing quantum chemistry and atomic physics applications are presented. We also briefly discuss a damage portal based on dynamic, nonlinear, finite elements of lumped damage mechanics and a biomedical portal developed within the framework of the \textit{E-Infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America} (EELA) initiative for searching common sequences and inferring their functions in parasitic diseases such as leishmaniasis, chagas and malaria.

We consider measures which are invariant under a measurable iterated function system with positive, place-dependent probabilities in a separable metric space. We provide an upper bound of the Hausdorff dimension of such a measure if it is ergodic. We also prove that it is ergodic iff the related skew product is.

We propose a lattice formulation of three dimensional super Yang-Mills model with a twisted N=4 supersymmetry. The extended supersymmetry algebra of all the eight supercharges is fully and exactly realized on the lattice with a modified "Leibniz rule". The formulation we employ here is a three dimensional extension of manifestly gauge covariant method which was developed in our previous proposal of Dirac-Kaehler twisted N=2 super Yang-Mills on two dimensional lattice. The twisted N=4 supersymmetry algebra is geometrically realized on a three dimensional lattice with link supercharges and the use of "shifted" (anti-)commutators. A possible solution to the recent critiques on the link formulation will be discussed.

The design of a mechanical transmission taking into account the transmitted forces is reported in this paper. This transmission is based on Slide-o-Cam, a cam mechanism with multiple rollers mounted on a common translating follower. The design of Slide-o-Cam, a transmission intended to produce a sliding motion from a turning drive, or vice versa, was reported elsewhere. This transmission provides pure-rolling motion, thereby reducing the friction of rack-and-pinions and linear drives. The pressure angle is a suitable performance index for this transmission because it determines the amount of force transmitted to the load vs. that transmitted to the machine frame. To assess the transmission capability of the mechanism, the Hertz formula is introduced to calculate the stresses on the rollers and on the cams. The final transmission is intended to replace the current ball-screws in the Orthoglide, a three-DOF parallel robot for the production of translational motions, currently under development for machining applications at Ecole Centrale de Nantes.

Ab-initio density functional calculations on explicitly doped La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO4 find doping creates localized holes in out-of-plane orbitals. A model for superconductivity is developed based on the assumption that doping leads to the formation of holes on a four-site Cu plaquette composed of the out-of-plane A1 orbitals apical O pz, planar Cu dz2, and planar O psigma. This is in contrast to the assumption of hole doping into planar Cu dx2-y2 and O psigma orbitals as in the t-J model. Interaction of holes with the d9 spin background leads to chiral polarons with either a clockwise or anti-clockwise charge current. When the polaron plaquettes percolate through the crystal at x~0.05 for LaSrCuO, a Cu dx2-y2 and planar O psigma band is formed. Spin exchange Coulomb repulsion with chiral polarons leads to D-wave superconductivity. The equivalent of the Debye energy in phonon superconductivity is the maximum energy separation between a chiral polaron and its time-reversed partner. An additive skew-scattering contribution to the Hall effect is induced by chiral polarons and leads to a temperature dependent Hall effect that fits the measured values for LaSrCuO. The integrated imaginary susceptibility satisfies omega/T scaling due to chirality and spin-flip scattering of polarons along with a uniform distribution of polaron energy splittings. The derived functional form is compatible with experiments. The static spin structure factor is computed and is incommensurate with a separation distance from (pi,pi) given by ~(2pi)x. Coulomb scattering of the x2-y2 band with polarons leads to linear resistivity. Coupling of the x2-y2 band to the undoped Cu d9 spins leads to the ARPES pseudogap and its doping and temperature dependence.

Dendrograms used in data analysis are ultrametric spaces, hence objects of nonarchimedean geometry. It is known that there exist $p$-adic representation of dendrograms. Completed by a point at infinity, they can be viewed as subtrees of the Bruhat-Tits tree associated to the $p$-adic projective line. The implications are that certain moduli spaces known in algebraic geometry are $p$-adic parameter spaces of (families of) dendrograms, and stochastic classification can also be handled within this framework. At the end, we calculate the topology of the hidden part of a dendrogram.

I summarize the observables constraining the B_s-B_s-bar mixing complex and present a new calculation of the element Gamma_{12}^s of the decay matrix. Gamma_{12}^s enters the prediction of the width difference Delta Gamma_s, for which we obtain Delta Gamma_s^SM = 0.088 +/- 0.017 ps^(-1), if no new physics enters B_s-B_s-bar mixing. Applying our formulae to Tevatron data we find a deviation of the B_s-B_s-bar mixing phase phi_s from its Standard Model value by 2 standard deviations. I stress that present data do not give any information on the sign of Delta Gamma_s.

We analyze Schroedinger and Heisenberg frameworks from this perspective and discuss how the momentum map associated to the action of the unitary group on the Hilbert space allows to relate both approaches. We also study Weyl-Wigner approach to Quantum Mechanics and discuss the implications of bi-Hamiltonian structures at the quantum level.

An effective $p$-adic encoding of dendrograms is presented through an explicit embedding into the Bruhat-Tits tree for a $p$-adic number field. This field depends on the number of children of a vertex and is a finite extension of the field of $p$-adic numbers. It is shown that fixing $p$-adic representatives of the residue field allows a natural way of encoding strings by identifying a given alphabet with such representatives. A simple $p$-adic hierarchic classification algorithm is derived for $p$-adic numbers, and is applied to strings over finite alphabets. Examples of DNA coding are presented and discussed. Finally, new geometric and combinatorial invariants of time series of $p$-adic dendrograms are developped.

Decoy state method quantum key distribution (QKD) is one of the promising practical solutions to BB84 QKD with coherent light pulses. In the real world, however, statistical fluctuations with the finite code length cannot be negligible, and the securities of theoretical and experimental researches of the decoy method state QKD so far are based on the asymptotic GLLP's formula which guarantees only that the limit of eavesdropper's information becomes zero as the code length approaches infinity. In this paper, we propose a substantially improved decoy state QKD in the framework of the finite code length and derive the upper bound of eavesdropper's information in the finite code length decoy state QKD with arbitrary number of decoy states of different intensities incorporating the finite statistics. We also show the performance of our decoy QKD and optimal values of parameters by numerical simulation.

Spin splitting of photoelectrons in p-type and electrons in n-type III-V Mn-based diluted magnetic semiconductors is studied theoretically. It is demonstrated that the unusual sign and magnitude of the apparent s-d exchange integral reported for GaAs:Mn arises from exchange interactions between electrons and holes bound to Mn acceptors. This interaction dominates over the coupling between electrons and Mn spins, so far regarded as the main source of spin-dependent phenomena. A reduced magnitude of the apparent s-d exchange integral found in n-type materials is explained by the presence of repulsive Coulomb potentials at ionized Mn acceptors and a bottleneck effect.

We report an universal behaviour of hopping transport in strongly interacting mesoscopic two-dimensional electron systems (2DES). In a certain window of background disorder, the resistivity at low perpendicular magnetic fields follows the expected relation $\rho(B_\perp) = \rho_{\rm{B}}\exp(\alpha B_\perp^2)$. The prefactor $\rho_{\rm{B}}$ decreases exponentially with increasing electron density but saturates to a finite value at higher densities. Strikingly, this value is found to be universal when expressed in terms of absolute resistance and and shows quantisation at $R_{\rm{B}}\approx h/e^2$ and $R_{\rm{B}}\approx 1/2$ $ h/e^2$. We suggest a strongly correlated electronic phase as a possible explanation.

Deformation of aerogel strongly modifies the orientation of the order parameter of superfluid 3He confined in aerogel. We used a radial squeezing of aerogel to keep the orbital angular momentum of the 3He Cooper pairs in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. We did not find strong evidence for a "polar" phase, with a nodal line along the equator of the Fermi surface, predicted to occur at large radial squeezing. Instead we observed 3He-A with a clear experimental evidence of the destruction of the long-range order by random anisotropy -- the Larkin-Imry-Ma effect. In 3He-B we observed and identified new modes of NMR, which are impossible to obtain in bulk 3He-B. One of these modes is characterized by a repulsive interaction between magnons, which is suitable for the magnon Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC).

We introduce and study a class of exchangeable random graph ensembles. They can be used as statistical null models for empirical networks, and as a tool for theoretical investigations. We provide general theorems that carachterize the degree distribution of the ensemble graphs, together with some features that are important for applications, such as subgraph distributions and kernel of the adjacency matrix. These results are used to compare to other models of simple and complex networks. A particular case of directed networks with power-law out--degree is studied in more detail, as an example of the flexibility of the model in applications.

We suggest an approach to microrheology based on optical traps in order to measure fluid fluxes around singular points of fluid flows. We experimentally demonstrate this technique, applying it to the characterization of controlled flows produced by a set of birefringent spheres spinning due to the transfer of light angular momentum. Unlike the previous techniques, this method is able to distinguish between a singular point in a complex flow and the absence of flow at all; furthermore it permits us to characterize the stability of the singular point.

The spatial coherence of a measured variable (e.g. temperature or pressure) is often studied to determine the regions where this variable varies the most or to find teleconnections, i.e. correlations between specific regions. While usual methods to find spatial patterns, such as Principal Components Analysis (PCA), are constrained by linear symmetries, the dependence of variables such as temperature or pressure at different locations is generally nonlinear. In particular, large deviations from the sample mean are expected to be strongly affected by such nonlinearities. Here we apply a newly developed nonlinear technique (Maxima of Cumulant Function, MCF) for the detection of typical spatial patterns that largely deviate from the mean. In order to test the technique and to introduce the methodology, we focus on the El Nino/Southern Oscillation and its spatial patterns. We find nonsymmetric temperature patterns corresponding to El Nino and La Nina, and we compare the results of MCF with other techniques, such as the symmetric solutions of PCA, and the nonsymmetric solutions of Nonlinear PCA (NLPCA). We found that MCF solutions are more reliable than the NLPCA fits, and can capture mixtures of principal components. Finally, we apply Extreme Value Theory on the temporal variations extracted from our methodology. We find that the tails of the distribution of extreme temperatures during La Nina episodes is bounded, while the tail during El Ninos is less likely to be bounded. This implies that the mean spatial patterns of the two phases are asymmetric, as well as the behaviour of their extremes.

As multicore systems continue to gain ground in the High Performance Computing world, linear algebra algorithms have to be reformulated or new algorithms have to be developed in order to take advantage of the architectural features on these new processors. Fine grain parallelism becomes a major requirement and introduces the necessity of loose synchronization in the parallel execution of an operation. This paper presents an algorithm for the QR factorization where the operations can be represented as a sequence of small tasks that operate on square blocks of data. These tasks can be dynamically scheduled for execution based on the dependencies among them and on the availability of computational resources. This may result in an out of order execution of the tasks which will completely hide the presence of intrinsically sequential tasks in the factorization. Performance comparisons are presented with the LAPACK algorithm for QR factorization where parallelism can only be exploited at the level of the BLAS operations.

Computation of superstring partition function for the non-linear sigma model on the product of a two-torus and its dual within the scope of the doubled formalism is presented. We verify that it reproduces the partition functions of the toroidally compactified type--IIA and type--IIB theories for appropriate choices of the GSO projection.

This paper is devoted to the kinematic design of a new six degree-of-freedom haptic device using two parallel mechanisms. The first one, called orthoglide, provides the translation motions and the second one, called agile eye, produces the rotational motions. These two motions are decoupled to simplify the direct and inverse kinematics, as it is needed for real-time control. To reduce the inertial load, the motors are fixed on the base and a transmission with two universal joints is used to transmit the rotational motions from the base to the end-effector. Two alternative wrists are proposed (i), the agile eye with three degrees of freedom or (ii) a hybrid wrist made by the assembly of a two-dof agile eye with a rotary motor. The last one is optimized to increase its stiffness and to decrease the number of moving parts.

Using the harmonic theory developed by Takegoshi for representation of relative cohomology and the framework of computation of curvature of direct images bundles by Berndtsson, we prove that the higher direct images by a smooth morphism of the relative canonical bundle twisted by a semi-positive vector bundle are locally free and semi-positively curved, when endowed with a suitable Hodge type metric.

A family of 3R orthogonal manipulators without offset on the third body can be divided into exactly nine workspace topologies. The workspace is characterized in a half-cross section by the singular curves. The workspace topology is defined by the number of cusps and nodes that appear on these singular curves. Based on this classification, we evaluate theses manipulators by the condition number related to the joint space and the proportion of the region with four inverse kinematic solutions compared to a sphere containing all the workspace. This second performance number is in relation with the workspace. We determine finally le topology of workspace to which belong manipulators having the best performance number values.

This paper analyses the workspace of the three-revolute orthogonal manipulators that have at least one of their DH parameters equal to zero. These manipulators are classified into different groups with similar kinematic properties. The classification criteria are based on the topology of the workspace. Each group is evaluated according to interesting kinematic properties such as the size of the workspace subregion reachable with four inverse kinematic solutions, the existence and the size of voids, and the size of the regions of feasible paths in the workspace.

In the present work we deal with the dynamics of wave packets in a two-dimensional crystal under the action of magnetic and electric fields. The magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane and the electric field is on the plane. In the simulations we considered a symmetric gauge for the vector potential while the initial wave packet was assumed to have a gaussian structure with given velocities. The parameters that control the kind of time evolution of the packets are: the width of the gaussian, its velocity, and, the intensity and direction of the electric field as well as the magnitude of the magnetic field. In order to characterize the kind of propagation we evaluated the mean-square displacement (MSD), the participation function and which is more important we were able to follow the wave at different times, which allowed us to see the time evolution of the centroid of the wave packets. A novel effect was observed, namely, the dynamics is such that the wave function \emph{splits} into two or more components and \emph{reconstructs} successively as time goes, vortices are forming. To our understanding this is the first time such an effect is reported. As for the inclusion of the electric field, we observe a complex behavior of the wave packet as well as note that the vortices propagate in direction perpendicular to the applied electric field. A similar behavior presented by the classical treatment, In our case we give a quantum mechanics explanation for that

We propose a kinetic theory to describe the power dependence, $I_{PC}(P)$, of the photocurrent (PC) lineshape in optically pumped quantum dots at low temperatures, in both zero and finite magnetic fields. We show that there is a crossover power $P_c$, determined by the electron and hole tunneling rates, at which the photocurrent spectra become strongly influenced by the dot kinetics, and no longer reflect the exciton lifetime in the dot. For $P>P_c$, we show that the photocurrent saturates due to the slow hole escape rate (in e.g., InGaAs/GaAs dots), whereas the line-width increases with power: $\Gamma \propto \sqrt{P}$. We also analyze to what measure the spin-doublet lineshape of the photocurrent studied in a high magnetic field reflects the degree of circular polarization of the incident light.

We study the effect of the exciton fine-structure splitting on the polarisation-entanglement of photon pairs produced by the biexciton cascade in a single quantum dot. The entanglement is found to persist despite separations between the intermediate energy levels of up to 4 micro-eV. Measurements demonstrate that entanglement of the photon pair is robust to the dephasing of the intermediate exciton state responsible for the first order coherence time of either single photon. We present a theoretical framework taking into account the effects of spin-scattering, background light and dephasing. We distinguish between the first-order coherence time, and a parameter which we measure for the first time and define as the cross-coherence time.

Cooperation and competition between the antiferromagnetic, d-wave superconducting and Mott-insulating states are explored for the two-dimensional Hubbard model including nearest and next-nearest-neighbor hoppings at zero temperature. Using the variational cluster approach with clusters of different shapes and sizes up to 10 sites, it is found that the doping-driven transition from a phase with microscopic coexistence of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity to a purely superconducting phase is discontinuous for strong interaction and accompanied by phase separation. At half-filling the system is in an antiferromagnetic Mott-insulating state with vanishing charge compressibility. Upon decreasing the interaction strength U below a certain critical value of roughly U=4 (in units of the nearest-neighbor hopping), however, the filling-dependent magnetic transition changes its character and becomes continuous. Phase separation or, more carefully, the tendency towards the formation of inhomogeneous states disappears. This critical value is in contrast to previous studies, where a much larger value was obtained. Moreover, we find that the system at half-filling undergoes the Mott transition from an insulator to a state with a finite charge compressibility at essentially the same value. The weakly correlated state at half-filling exhibits superconductivity microscopically admixed to the antiferromagnetic order. This scenario suggests a close relation between phase separation and the Mott-insulator physics.

Using a confining potential, we consider spherically symmetric vacuum (static black hole) solutions in a brane-world scenario. Working with a constant curvature bulk, two interesting cases/solutions are studied. A Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole solution similar to the standard solution in the presence of a cosmological constant is obtained which confirms the idea that an extra term in the field equations on the brane can play the role of a positive cosmological constant and may be used to account for the accelerated expansion of the universe. The other solution is one in which we can have a proper potential to explain the galaxy rotation curves without assuming the existence of dark matter and without working with new modified theories (modified Newtonian dynamics).

The work presented here is aimed at introducing a virtual human controller in a virtual prototyping framework. After a brief introduction describing the problem solved in the paper, we describe the interest as for digital humans in the context of concurrent engineering. This leads us to draw a control architecture enabling to drive virtual humans in a real-time immersed way, and to interact with the product, through motion capture. Unfortunately, we show this control scheme can lead to unfeasible movements because of the lack of balance control. Introducing such a controller is a problem that was never addressed in the context of real-time. We propose an implementation of a balance controller, that we insert into the previously described control scheme. Next section is dedicated to show the results we obtained. Finally, we propose a virtual reality platform into which the digital character controller is integrated.

Vector and axial form factors in the quark resonance model are analyzed with a combination of theoretical and phenomenological arguments. The new form of form factors is deduced from $\Delta$(1232) excitation models and available data. The vector part is shown to agree with the resonant contribution to electron-proton inclusive $F_2$ data. The axial part is obtained by finding a simultaneous fit to ANL and BNL $\frac{d \sigma}{d Q^2}$ neutrino scattering data. The best fit corresponds to $C_5^A(0)=0.88$ in the Rarita Schwinger formalism.

Nevertheless, the animation and control processes of such manikins are very painful. It takes days to a specialist to build such animated sequences, and it is not adaptive to any type of modifications. Our main purpose is the virtual human for engineering, especially virtual prototyping. As for this domain of activity, such amounts of time are prohibitive.

Manufacturing is using Virtual Reality tools to enhance the product life cycle. Their definitions are still in flux and it is necessary to define their connections. Thus, firstly, we will introduce more closely some definitions where we will find that, if the Virtual manufacturing concepts originate from machining operations and evolve in this manufacturing area, there exist a lot of applications in different fields such as casting, forging, sheet metalworking and robotics (mechanisms). From the recent projects in Europe or in USA, we notice that the human perception or the simulation of mannequin is more and more needed in both fields. In this context, we have isolated some applications as ergonomic studies, assembly and maintenance simulation, design or training where the virtual reality tools can be applied. Thus, we find out a family of applications where the virtual reality tools give the engineers the main role in the optimization process. We will illustrate our paper by several examples where virtual reality interfaces are used and combined with optimization tools as multi-agent systems.

The aim of this paper is to present a new six degree-of-freedom (dof) haptic device using two parallel mechanisms. The first one, called orthoglide, provides the translation motions and the second one produces the rotational motions. These two motions are decoupled to simplify the direct and inverse kinematics, as it is needed for real-times control. To reduce the inertial load, the motors are fixed on the base and a transmission with two universal joints is used to transmit the rotational motions from the base to the end-effector. The main feature of the orthoglide and of the agile eye mechanism is the existence of an isotropic configuration. The length of the legs and the range limits of the orthoglide are optimized to have homogeneous performance throughout the Cartesian workspace, which has a nearly cubic workspace. These properties permit to have a high stiffness throughout the workspace and workspace limits that are easily understandable by the user.

The electronic, magnetic and orbital structures of KCrF_3 are determined in all its recently identified crystallographic phases (cubic, tetragonal, and monoclinic) with a set of {\it ab initio} LSDA and LSDA+U calculations. The high-temperature undistorted cubic phase is metallic within the LSDA, but at the LSDA+U level it is a Mott insulator with a gap of 1.72 eV. The tetragonal and monoclinic phases of KCrF_3 exhibit cooperative Jahn-Teller distortions concomitant with staggered 3x^2-r^2/3y^2-r^2 orbital order. We find that the energy gain due to the Jahn-Teller distortion is 82/104 meV per chromium ion in the tetragonal/monoclinic phase, respectively. These phases show A-type magnetic ordering and have a bandgap of 2.48 eV. In this Mott insulating state KCrF_3 has a substantial conduction bandwidth of 2.1 eV, leading to the possibility for the kinetic energy of charge carriers in electron- or hole-doped derivatives of KCrF_3 to overcome the polaron localization at low temperatures, in analogy with the situation encountered in the colossal magnetoresistive manganites.

Feynman diagrams may be evaluated by Mellin-Barnes representations of their Feynman parameter integrals in d=4-2\eps dimensions.

We describe the package and exemplify its use with the \eps-expansion of the massive one-loop QED vertex function.

We discuss the Luttinger Liquid behaviour of Large Radius Carbon Nanotube e.g. the Multi Wall ones (MWNT), under the action of a transverse magnetic field $B$. Our results imply a reduction with $B$ in the value of the $bulk$ critical exponent, $\alpha_{bulk}$, for the tunneling density of states, which is in agreement with that observed in transport experiments. Then, the problem of the transport through a Quantum Dot formed by two intramolecular tunneling barriers along the MWNT, weakly coupled to Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids is studied, including the action of a strong transverse magnetic field $B$. {We predict the presence of some peaks in the conductance G versus $B$, related to the magnetic flux quantization in the ballistic regime (at a very low temperature, $T$) and also at higher $T$, where the Luttinger behaviour dominates}. The temperature dependence of the maximum $G_{max}$ of the conductance peak according to the Sequential Tunneling follows a power law, $G\propto T^{\gamma_e-1}$ with $\gamma_e$ linearly dependent on the critical exponent, $\alpha_{end}$, strongly reduced by $B$.

We present the first large-scale study of E+A (post-starburst) galaxies that incorporates photometry in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. We find that the starburst that creates the E+A galaxy typically takes place within the last Gyr and creates a high fraction (20-60 percent) of the stellar mass in the remnant over a short timescale (< 0.1 Gyrs). We find a tight correlation between the luminosity of our E+A galaxies and the implied star formation rate (SFR) during the starburst. While low-luminosity E+As (M(z) > -20) exhibit implied SFRs of less than 50 solar masses per year, their luminous counterparts (M(z) < -22) shows SFRs greater than 300 and as high as 2000 solar masses per year, suggesting that luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies in the low-redshift Universe could be the progenitors of massive nearby E+A galaxies. We perform a comprehensive study of the characteristics of the quenching that truncates the starburst in E+A systems.We find that, for galaxies less massive than 10^10 MSun, the quenching efficiency decreases as the galaxy mass increases. However, for galaxies more massive than 10^10 MSun, this trend is reversed and the quenching efficiency increases with galaxy mass. Noting that the mass threshold at which this reversal occurs is in excellent agreement with the mass above which AGN become significantly more abundant in nearby galaxies, we use simple energetic arguments to show that the bimodal behaviour of the quenching efficiency is consistent with AGN and supernovae (SN) being the principal sources of negative feedback above and below M ~ 10^10 MSun respectively.

A Kuranishi space is a topological space with a Kuranishi structure, defined by Fukaya and Ono. Kuranishi structures occur naturally on moduli spaces of J-holomorphic curves in symplectic geometry. Let Y be an orbifold and R a commutative ring or Q-algebra. We define two kinds of Kuranishi homology KH_*(Y;R). The chain complex KC_*(Y;R) defining KH_*(Y;R) is spanned over R by [X,f,G], for X a compact oriented Kuranishi space with corners, f : X --> Y smooth, and G "gauge-fixing data" which makes Aut(X,f,G) finite. Our main result is that these are isomorphic to singular homology. We define Poincare dual Kuranishi cohomology, isomorphic to compactly-supported cohomology. We define five kinds of Kuranishi (co)bordism spanned by isomorphism classes[X,f] for X a compact oriented Kuranishi space without boundary and f : X --> Y smooth. They are new topological invariants, and we show they are very large. These theories are powerful new tools in symplectic geometry. Defining virtual cycles and chains for moduli spaces of J-holomorphic curves is trivial in Kuranishi (co)homology. There is no need to perturb moduli spaces, and no problems with transversality. This gives major simplifications in Lagrangian Floer cohomology. We define new Gromov-Witten type invariants in Kuranishi bordism, over Z not Q. We sketch how these may be used to prove the integrality conjecture for Gopakumar-Vafa invariants. This paper is surveyed in arXiv:0710.5634.

Particulate Contamination Within Fusion Devices and Complex (Dusty) Plasmas

Over the past decade, dust particulate contamination has increasingly become an area of concern within the fusion research community. In a burning plasma machine design like the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), dust contamination presents problems for diagnostic integration and may contribute to tritium safety issues. Additionally due to ITER design, such dust contamination problems are projected to become of even greater concern due to dust/wall interactions and possible instabilities created within the plasma by such particulates. Since the dynamics of such dust can in general be explained employing a combination of the ion drag, Coulomb force, and ion pre-sheath drifts, recent research in complex (dusty) plasma physics often offers unique insights for this research area. This paper will discuss the possibility of how experimental observations of the dust and plasma parameters within a GEC rf Reference Cell might be employed to diagnose conditions within fusion reactors, hopefully providing insight into possible mechanisms for dust detection and removal.

We report the forbidden $6s^{2} ^{1}S_{0}\longrightarrow6s5d ^{3}D_{1}$ magnetic-dipole transition amplitude computed using multi-reference Fock-space coupled-cluster theory. Our computed transition matrix element ($1.34\times10^{-4}\mu_{B}$) is in excellent agreement with the experimental value ($1.33\times10^{-4}$ $\mu_{B}$). This value in combination with other known quantities will be helpful to determine the parity non-conserving amplitude for the $6s^{2} ^{1}S_{0}\longrightarrow6s5d ^{3}D_{1}$ transition in atomic Yb. To our knowledge our calculation is the most accurate to date and can be very important in the search of physics beyond the standard model. We further report the $6s6p ^{3}P_{0}\longrightarrow6s6p ^{1}P_{1}$ and $6s5d ^{3}D_{1}\longrightarrow6s6p ^{3}P_{0}$ transition matrix elements which are also in good agreement with the earlier theoretical estimates.

In this Thesis we first show how the shape of the Peierls barrier and its dependence on the applied loading can be extracted from the data obtained in atomistic studies at 0 K. We consider the Peierls barrier as a two-dimensional periodic function of the position of the intersection of the dislocation line with the perpendicular {111} plane, with adjustable terms dependent on the shear stresses parallel and perpendicular to the slip direction. The functional forms of these terms are based on the effective yield criterion recently developed on the basis of atomistic modeling of the glide of screw dislocations at 0 K. The minimum energy path between two potential minima, and thus the corresponding activation barrier, is obtained using the Nudged Elastic Band method. The constructed Peierls barrier reproduces correctly both the well-known twinning-antitwinning asymmetry observed for pure shear parallel to the slip direction and the effect of shear stresses perpendicular to the slip direction. This advancement introduces for the first time the effect of both shear stresses parallel and perpendicular to the slip direction into the model of thermally activated dislocation motion. Based on this model we formulate a general yield criterion that includes not only the full stress tensor but also effects of temperature and strain rate. This approach forms a basis for multislip yield criteria and flow relations for continuum analyses in both single and polycrystals the results of which can be compared with experimental observations.

We study the evolution of 82302 star-forming (SF) galaxies from the SDSS. Our main goals are to explore new ways of handling star formation histories (SFH) obtained with our publicly available spectral synthesis code STARLIGHT, and apply them to investigate how SFHs vary as a function of nebular metallicity (Zneb). Our main results are: (1) A conventional correlation analysis shows how global properties such as luminosity, mass, dust content, mean stellar metallicity and mean stellar age relate to Zneb. (2) We present a simple formalism which compresses the results of the synthesis into time-dependent star formation rates (SFR) and mass assembly histories. (3) The current SFR derived from the population synthesis and that from H-alpha are shown to agree within a factor of two. Thus we now have a way to estimate SFR in AGN hosts, where the H-alpha method cannot be applied. (4) Fully time-dependent SFHs are derived for all galaxies and averaged over six Zneb bins spanning the entire SF wing in the [OIII]/H-beta X [NII]/H-alpha diagram. (5) We find that SFHs vary systematically along the SF sequence, such that low-Zneb systems evolve slower and are currently forming stars at a higher relative rate. (6) At any given time, the distribution of specific SFRs for galaxies within a Zneb-bin is broad and roughly log-normal. (7) The same results are found grouping galaxies in stellar mass (M*) or surface mass density (S*) bins. (8) The overall pattern of SFHs as a function of Zneb, M* or S* is robust against changes in selection criteria, choice of evolutionary synthesis models for the spectral fits, and differential extinction effects.

The partisans of the hypothesis of the Indian origin of the numerals create confusion between the history of the Indian mathematics and the history of our modern numerals. To argue the thesis of the Indian origin of the numbers they confound between: the "intuitive zero " of Brahmagupta, that means ''nothing'' and which is the difference of two equal numbers, the "numeral zero" used in the representation of the numbers and the "mathematical zero" defined by the modern mathematicians. "Sifr" designate the "numeral zero" and "Shunya" designate the "intuitive zero". The word "Sifr" is not a traduction of the word "Shunya" and does not derive from the Indian word "Shunya", since the word "Sifr" and its derivatives existed in Arabic long before the appearance of zero itself The facts that the "intuitive zero" and the "mathematical zero" are represented currently by the "numerals zero" symbol "0" are only consequences of the representation of the numbers by the "Ghubari" numerals

We propose a new scheme of spin filtering based on nanometric crossjunctions in the presence of Spin Orbit interaction, employing ballistic nanojunctions patterned in a two-dimensional electron gas. We demonstrate that the flow of a longitudinal unpolarized current through a ballistic X junction patterned in a two-dimensional electron gas with Spin Orbit coupling (SOC) induces a spin accumulation which has opposite signs for the two lateral probes. This spin accumulation, corresponding to a transverse pure spin current flowing in the junction, is the main observable signature of the spin Hall effect in such nanostructures. We benchmark the effects of two different kinds of Spin Orbit interactions. The first one ($\alpha$-SOC) is due to the interface electric field that confines electrons to a two-dimensional layer, whereas the second one ($\beta$-SOC) corresponds to the interaction generated by a lateral confining potential.

In this Letter, we give such a characterization for the $3\otimes 3$ space.

Super star clusters are young, compact star clusters found in the central regions of interacting galaxies. Recently, they have also been reported to preferentially form in certain tidal tails, but not in others. In this paper, we have used 21 cm HI maps and the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images of eight tidal tail regions of four merging galaxy pairs to compare the kiloparsec scale HI distribution with the location of super star clusters found from the optical images. For most of the tails, we find that there is an increase in super star cluster density with increasing projected HI column density, such that the star cluster density is highest when log N(HI) >= 20.6 cm^{-2}, but equal to the background count rate at lower HI column density. However, for two tails (NGC 4038/39 Pos A and NGC 3921), there is no significant star cluster population despite the presence of gas at high column density. This implies that the N(HI) threshold is a necessary but not sufficient condition for cluster formation. Gas volume density is likely to provide a more direct criterion for cluster formation, and other factors such as gas pressure or strength of encounter may also have an influence. Comparison of HI thresholds needed for formation of different types of stellar structures await higher resolution HI and optical observations of larger numbers of interacting galaxies.

This paper addresses three issues in the field of ad hoc network capacity: the impact of i)channel fading, ii) channel inversion power control, and iii) threshold-based scheduling on capacity. Channel inversion and threshold scheduling may be viewed as simple ways to exploit channel state information (CSI) without requiring cooperation across transmitters. We use the transmission capacity (TC) as our metric, defined as the maximum spatial intensity of successful simultaneous transmissions subject to a constraint on the outage probability (OP). By assuming the nodes are located on the infinite plane according to a Poisson process, we are able to employ tools from stochastic geometry to obtain asymptotically tight bounds on the distribution of the signal-to-interference (SIR) level, yielding in turn tight bounds on the OP (relative to a given SIR threshold) and the TC. We demonstrate that in the absence of CSI, fading can significantly reduce the TC and somewhat surprisingly, channel inversion only makes matters worse. We develop a threshold-based transmission rule where transmitters are active only if the channel to their receiver is acceptably strong, obtain expressions for the optimal threshold, and show that this simple, fully distributed scheme can significantly reduce the effect of fading.

In this article we study the effects of higher body excitations in the relativistic CC calculations for atoms and ions with one valence electron using Fock-space CCSD, CCSD(T) and its unitary variants. The present study demonstrates that CCSD(T) estimates the ionization potentials (IPs) and the valence electron removal energies quite accurately for alkali atoms and singly ionized alkaline earth ions, but yields unphysical energy levels for atoms and/or ions with partially filled sub-shell like C II. We further demonstrate that the higher body excitation effects can be incorporated more effectively through the unitary coupled cluster theory (UCC) compared to the CCSD(T) method.

We study the branching ratios of the allowed and forbidden radiative transitions among the first few (9) fine structure levels of O VI using relativistic coupled cluster theory. We find irregular patterns for a number of transitions with in $n$-complexes with $n\le4$. We have used the exisiting values of the allowed electric dipole ($E1$) transition as a benchmark of our theory. Good agreement with the existing values establish accuracies of not only the theoretical method but the basis function as well. In general the electric quadrupole ($E2$) transition probabilities are greater in magnitude than magnetic dipole ($M1$) transition probabilities, whereas for medium atomic transition frequencies they are of the same order of magnitude. On the other hand if the transitions involved are between two fine structure components of the same term, then the $M1$ transition probability is more probable than that of $E2$. We have analyzed these trends with physical arguments and order of magnitude estimations. The results presented here in tabular and graphical forms are compared with the available theoretical and observed data. Graphical analysis helps to understand the trends of electric and magnetic transitions for the decay channels presented here. Our calculated values of the lifetimes of the excited states are in very good agreement with the available results.

Searching for an accurate optical clock which can serve as a better time standard than the present day atomic clock is highly demanding from several areas of science and technology. Several attempts have been made to built more accurate clocks with different ion species. In this article we discuss the electric quadrupole and hyperfine shifts in the $5d^{9}6s^{2} ^{2}D_{5/2}(F=0,m_{F}=0)\leftrightarrow5d^{10}6s ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=2,m_{F}=0)$ clock transition in $ ^{199}Hg^{+}$, one of the most promising candidates for next generation optical clocks. We have applied Fock-space unitary coupled-cluster (FSUCC) theory to study the electric quadrupole moment of the $5d^{9}6s^{2} ^{2}D_{5/2}$ state and magnetic dipole hyperfine constants of $5d^{9}6s^{2} ^{2}D_{3/2,5/2}$ and $5d^{10}6s^{1} ^{2}S_{1/2}$ states respectively of $ ^{199}Hg^{+}$. We have also compared our results with available data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a variant of coupled-cluster (CC) theories has been applied to study these kinds of properties of $Hg^{+}$and is the most accurate estimate of these quantities to date.

The concentration of magnetic flux near the poles of rapidly rotating cool stars has been recently proposed as an alternative mechanism to dynamo saturation in order to explain the saturation of angular momentum loss. In this work we study the effect of magnetic surface flux distribution on the coronal field topology and angular momentum loss rate. We investigate if magnetic flux concentration towards the pole is a reasonable alternative to dynamo saturation. We construct a 1D wind model and also apply a 2-D self-similar analytical model, to evaluate how the surface field distribution affects the angular momentum loss of the rotating star. From the 1D model we find that, in a magnetically dominated low corona, the concentrated polar surface field rapidly expands to regions of low magnetic pressure resulting in a coronal field with small latitudinal variation. We also find that the angular momentum loss rate due to a uniform field or a concentrated field with equal total magnetic flux is very similar. From the 2D wind model we show that there are several relevant factors to take into account when studying the angular momentum loss from a star. In particular, we show that the inclusion of force balance across the field in a wind model is fundamental if realistic conclusions are to be drawn from the effect of non-uniform surface field distribution on magnetic braking. This model predicts that a magnetic field concentrated at high latitudes leads to larger Alfven radii and larger braking rates than a smoother field distribution. From the results obtained, we argue that the magnetic surface field distribution towards the pole does not directly limit the braking efficiency of the wind.

Using standard big-bang nucleosynthesis and present, high-precision measurements of light element abundances, we place constraints on the self-gravity of radiation pressure in the early universe. The self-gravity of pressure is strictly non-Newtonian, and thus the constraints we set are a direct test of this aspect of general relativity.

Properties of the Roper resonance, the first scalar excitation of the nucleon, are determined. Pole positions and residues of the $P_{11}$ partial wave are studied in a combined analysis of pion- and photo-induced reactions. We find the Roper pole at $\{(1371\pm7)-i(92\pm10)\}$ MeV and an elasticity of $0.61\pm 0.03$. The largest decay coupling is found for the $N\sigma$ ($\sigma=(\pi\pi)$-$S$-wave). The analysis is based on new data on $\gamma p\to p\pi^0\pi^0$ for photons in the energy range from the two-pion threshold to 820 MeV from TAPS at Mainz and from 0.4 to 1.3 GeV from Crystal Barrel at Bonn and includes further data from other experiments. The partial wave analysis excludes the possibility that the Roper resonance is split into two states with different partial decay widths.

Decays of baryon resonances in the second and the third resonance region into N pi0 pi0 are studied by photoproduction of two neutral pions off protons. Partial decay widths of N* and Delta* resonances decaying into Delta(1232) pi, N(\pi\pi)_{S}, N(1440)P_{11} pi, and N(1520)D_{13} pi are determined in a partial wave analysis of this data, and data from other reactions. Several partial decay widths were not known before. Interesting decay patterns are observed which are not even qualitatively reproduced by quark model calculations. In the second resonance region, decays into Delta(1232) pi dominate clearly. The N(\pi\pi)_{S}-wave provides a significant contribution to the cross section, especially in the third resonance region. The P_{13}(1720) properties found here are at clear variance to PDG values.

We report on experimental studies on the collective behavior of a strongly interacting Fermi gas with tunable interactions and variable temperature. A scissors mode excitation in an elliptical trap is used to characterize the dynamics of the quantum gas in terms of hydrodynamic or near-collisionless behavior. We obtain a crossover phase diagram for collisional properties, showing a large region where a non-superfluid strongly interacting gas shows hydrodynamic behavior. In a narrow interaction regime on the BCS side of the crossover, we find a novel temperature-dependent damping peak, suggesting a relation to the superfluid phase transition.

In this work we study the spectral functions of scalar mesons in one- and two-channel cases. When the propagators satisfy the K\"allen-Lehman representation a normalized spectral function is obtained, allowing to take into account finite-width effects in the evaluation of decay rates. In the one-channel case, suitable to the light sigma and k mesons, the spectral function can deviate consistently from a Breit-Wigner shape. In the two-channel case with one subthreshold channel the evaluated spectral function is well approximated by a Flatte' distribution; when applying the study to the a_0(980) and f_0(980) mesons the tree-level forbidden KK decay is analysed.

We derive the most general Seiberg-Witten maps for noncommutative gauge theories in second order of the noncommutative parameter theta. Our results reveal the existence of more ambiguities than previously known. In particular, we demonstrate that some of these ambiguities enter observables like scattering cross sections and enlarge the parameter space of the noncommutative standard model beyond O(theta).

In this paper, we study the set of $\Delta$-filtered modules of quasi-hereditary algebras arising from quotients of the double of quivers of type $A$. Our main result is that for any fixed $\Delta$-dimension vector, there is a unique (up to isomorphism) exceptional $\Delta$-filtered module. We then apply this result to show that there is always an open adjoint orbit in the nilpotent radical of a seaweed Lie algebra in $\mathrm{gl}_{n}(\field)$, thus answering positively in this $\mathrm{gl}_{n}(\field)$ case to a question raised independently by Michel Duflo and Dmitri Panyushev. An example of a seaweed Lie algebra in a simple Lie algebra of type $E_{8}$ not admitting an open orbit in its nilpotent radical is given.

Consider n=2l>=4 point particles with equal masses in space, subject to the following symmetry constraint: at each instant they form an orbit of the dihedral group D_l, where D_l is the group of order 2l generated by two rotations of angle pi around two secant lines in space meeting at an angle of pi/l. By adding a homogeneous gravitational (Newtonian) potential one finds a special $n$-body problem with three degrees of freedom, which is a kind of generalisation of Devaney isosceles problem, in which all orbits have zero angular momentum. In the paper we find all the central configurations and we compute the dimension of the stable/unstable manifolds.

We determine the physical properties of \emph{p}-wave Feshbach molecules in doubly spin-polarized $^{40}$K and find excellent agreement with recent experiments. We show that these molecules have a large probability $Z$ to be in the closed channel or bare molecular state responsible for the Feshbach resonance. In the superfluid state this allows for observation of Rabi oscillations between the molecular and atomic components of the Bose-Einstein condensed pairs, which contains a characteristic signature of the quantum phase transition that occurs as a function of applied magnetic field.

We report further evidence for $N(1900)P_{13}$ from an analysis of a large variety of photo- and pion-induced reactions, in particular from the new CLAS measurements of double polarization observables for photoproduction of hyperons. The data are consistent with two classes of solutions both requiring contributions from $N(1900)P_{13}$ but giving different $N(1900)P_{13}$ pole positions. $(M-i\Gamma/2) = (1915\pm50)-i(90\pm25)$ MeV covers both solutions. The small elasticity of 10% or less explains why it was difficult to observe the state in $\pi N$ elastic scattering. $N(1900)P_{13}$ is a 2-star resonance which is predicted by symmetric three-quark models. In diquark-quark models, the existence of the state is not expected.

We construct the microstates of near-extremal black holes in AdS_5 x S^5 as gases of defects distributed in heavy BPS operators in the dual SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. These defects describe open strings on spherical D3-branes in the S^5, and we show that they dominate the entropy by directly enumerating them and comparing the results with a partition sum calculation. We display new decoupling limits in which the field theory of the lightest open strings on the D-branes becomes dual to a near-horizon region of the black hole geometry. In the single-charge black hole we find evidence for an infrared duality between SU(N) Yang-Mills theories that exchanges the rank of the gauge group with an R-charge. In the two-charge case (where pairs of branes intersect on a line), the decoupled geometry includes an AdS_3 factor with a two-dimensional CFT dual. The degeneracy in this CFT accounts for the black hole entropy. In the three-charge case (where triples of branes intersect at a point), the decoupled geometry contains an AdS_2 factor. Below a certain critical mass, the two-charge system displays solutions with naked timelike singularities even though they do not violate a BPS bound. We suggest a string theoretic resolution of these singularities.

We present a new particle tracking software algorithm designed to accurately track the motion of low-contrast particles against a background with large variations in light levels. The method is based on a polynomial fit of the intensity around each feature point, weighted by a Gaussian function of the distance from the centre, and is especially suitable for tracking endogeneous particles in the cell, imaged with bright field, phase contrast or fluorescence optical microscopy. Furthermore, the method can simultaneously track particles of all different sizes, and allows significant freedom in their shape. The algorithm is evaluated using the quantitative measures of accuracy and precision of previous authors, using simulated images at variable signal-to-noise ratios. To these we add a new test of the error due to a non-uniform background. Finally the tracking of particles in real cell images is demonstrated. The method is made freely available for non-commencial use as a software package with a graphical user-inferface, which can be run within the Matlab programming environment.

Using near-infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy we have measured the properties of this short-period [P=0.407037(14) d] system and its two components. We find the following parameters for the two components: M_1=0.272+/-0.020 M_sun, R_1=0.268+/-0.010 R_sun, M_2=0.240+/-0.022 M_sun, R_2=0.248+/-0.0090 R_sun, T_1=3320+/-130 K, T_2=3300+/-130 K. The masses and radii of the two components of this system agree well with theoretical expectations based on models of low-mass stars, within the admittedly large errors. Future synoptic surveys like Pan-STARRS and LSST will produce a wealth of information about low-mass eclipsing systems and should make it possible, with an increased reliance on follow-up observations, to detect many systems with low-mass and sub-stellar companions. With the large numbers of objects for which these surveys will produce high-quality photometry, we suggest that it becomes possible to identify such systems even with sparse time sampling and a relatively small number of individual observations.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS02) experiment will be installed in 2009 on the International Space Station (ISS) for an operational period of at least three years. The purpose of AMS02 experiment is to perform accurate, high statistics, long duration measurements in space of charged cosmic rays in rigidity range from 1 GV to 3 TV and of high energy photons up to few hundred of GeV. In this work we will discuss the experimental details and the physics capabilities of AMS02 on ISS.

Proteins are known to locate their specific targets on DNA up to two orders of magnitude faster than predicted by the Smoluchowski three-dimensional diffusion rate. One of the mechanisms proposed to resolve this discrepancy is termed "intersegment transfer". Many proteins have two DNA binding sites and can transfer from one DNA segment to another without dissociation to water. We calculate the target search rate for such proteins in a dense globular DNA, taking into account intersegment transfer working in conjunction with DNA motion and protein sliding along DNA. We show that intersegment transfer plays a very important role in cases where the protein spends most of its time adsorbed on DNA.

We construct and study a class of algebras associated to generalized layered graphs, i.e. directed graphs with a ranking function on their vertices. Each finite directed acyclic graph admits countably many structures of a generalized layered graph. We construct linear bases in such algebras and compute their Hilbert series. Our interest to generalized layered graphs and algebras associated to those graphs is motivated by their relations to factorizations of polynomials over noncommutative rings.

We prove that an equivalent condition for a uniform space to be coverable is that the images of the natural projections in the fundamental inverse system are uniformly open in a certain sense. As corollaries we (1) obtain a concrete way to find covering entourage, (2) correct an error in [3] and (3) show that coverable is equivalent to chain connected and uniformly joinable in the sense of arXiv:0706.3937.

We show that every inner metric space X is the metric quotient of a complete R-tree via a free isometric action, which we call the covering R-tree of X. The quotient mapping is a weak submetry (hence, open) and light. In the case of compact 1-dimensional geodesic space X, the free isometric action is via a subgroup of the fundamental group of X. In particular, the Sierpin'ski gasket and carpet, and the Menger sponge all have the same covering R-tree, which is complete and has at each point valency equal to the continuum. This latter R-tree is of particular interest because it is "universal" in at least two senses: First, every R-tree of valency at most the continuum can be isometrically embedded in it. Second, every Peano continuum is the image of it via an open light mapping. We provide a sketch of our previous construction of the uniform universal cover in the special case of inner metric spaces, the properties of which are used in the proof.

For the gluon propagator of pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the Landau gauge we investigate the effect of Gribov copies and finite-volume effects. Concerning gauge fixing, we enlarge the accessible gauge orbits by adding non-periodic Z(2) gauge transformations and systematically employ the simulated annealing algorithm. Strategies to keep all Z(2) sectors under control within reasonable CPU time are discussed. We demonstrate that the finite-volume effects in the infrared regime become ameliorated. Reaching a physical volume of about (6.5 fm)^4, we find that the propagator, calculated with the indicated improvements, becomes flat in the region of smallest momenta. First signs in 4d of a final decrease towards vanishing momentum are discussed.

In a recent letter [Phy. Rev. Lett. 95, 080502 (2005)], it is claimed that based on a new kind of quantum mechanical phase of wave function which is neither dynamical nor geometrical a new kind of phase gate for quantum computation is discovered. The origin of this phase is the adiabatic evolution of a dark state. I would like to point out that these claims are questionable. The so called new phase gate was based on a phase which was nothing new but has been known for decades. It is something which has no physical meaning and is not observable. It was also pointed out by [quant-ph/0509150v1] that [Phy. Rev. Lett. 95, 080502 (2005)] was incorrect and the phase is the known geometric phase. Here we present a totally different argument.

We report on quantum dot based Josephson junctions designed specifically for measuring the supercurrent. From high-accuracy fitting of the current-voltage characteristics we determine the full magnitude of the supercurrent (critical current). Strong gate modulation of the critical current is observed through several consecutive Coulomb blockade oscillations. The critical current crosses zero close to, but not at, resonance due to the so-called 0-$\pi$ transition in agreement with a simple theoretical model.

Dielectric permittivity spectra of yttrium-doped EuMnO$_3$ in the composition range 0 =< x =< 0.5 have been investigated in the terahertz frequency range. Magnetoelectric contributions to the permittivity were observed in all compositions for ac electric fields parallel to the crystallographic a-axis. Well defined electromagnons exist for x >= 0.2 close to \nu ~ 20 cm^{-1} and with dielectric strength strongly increasing on doping. In addition to electromagnons, a broad contribution of magnetoelectric origin is observed for all compositions. For Eu_{0.8}Y_{0.2}MnO_3 the electromagnons can be suppressed by external magnetic fields which induce a canted antiferromagnetic phase. Magnetoelectric effects in the different doping regimes are discussed in detail.

A graph G is intrinsically S^1-linked if for every embedding of the vertices of G into S^1, vertices that form the endpoints of two disjoint edges in G form a non-split link in the embedding. We show that a graph is intrinsically S^1-linked if and only if it is not outer-planar. A graph is outer-flat if it can be embedded in the 3-ball such that all of its vertices map to the boundary of the 3-ball, all edges to the interior, and every cycle bounds a disk in the 3-ball that meets the graph only along its boundary. We show that a graph is outer-flat if and only if it is planar.

We have measured the linear dielectric susceptibility of two molecular glass formers close to Tg in order to estimate the size of the dynamically correlated clusters of molecules which are expected to govern the physics of glass formation. This size has been shown to be related to the dynamic dielectric susceptibility dEps(w)/dT (Eps : dielectric susceptibility, T : temperature, w&#61472;: frequency). To allow for an accurate determination of the T derivative, we scanned the interval 192 < T < 232 K every 1 K for glycerol and 159 < T < 179 K every 0.5 K for propylene carbonate. The resolution on T variations was about 1 mK. The result for glycerol is that the number of correlated molecules increases by a factor 3 when T goes from 226 to 195 K. It has been shown that the non-linear susceptibility provides a direct measurement of dynamic correlations. To measure it, we used a standard Lockin technique yielding the third harmonic of the current flowing out of a capacitor. We obtained only an upper limit on the ratio of the third to the first harmonic, due to the non-linear response of standard electronics.

Hermes has measured longitudinal double spin asymmetries as a function of transverse momentum pT using charged inclusive hadrons from electroproduction off a deuterium target. At pT>1 GeV, the asymmetries are sensitive to the spin dependent gluon distribution Delta g. To extract the gluon polarization Delta g/g, information on the background asymmetry and the subprocess kinematics has been obtained from a Leading Order Monte Carlo model. Values for Delta g/g have been calculated both as a function of the measured pT and x, using two different methods, in the region pT>1.05 GeV.

I will review RHIC data with respect to the intriguing possibility that the hadron production mechanism in the produced partonic medium might be different than in vacuum. I will use the measurements of collective features, such as flow and quenching of identified particles, to show that different regions of the particle momentum spectrum are likely populated through different mechanisms, and that the medium seems to play an important role in hadronization. Finally I will address the question whether the different initial conditions achievable in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies, compared to RHIC, might affect the properties of the deconfined quark-gluon phase and its hadronization to baryonic matter.

A classical measure of string comparison is given by the longest common subsequence (LCS) problem on a pair of strings. We consider its generalisation, called the semi-local LCS problem, which arises naturally in many string-related problems. The semi-local LCS problem asks for the LCS scores for each of the input strings against every substring of the other input string, and for every prefix of each input string against every suffix of the other input string. Such a comparison pattern provides a much more detailed picture of string similarity than a single LCS score; it also arises naturally in many string-related problems. In fact, the semi-local LCS problem turns out to be fundamental for string comparison, providing a powerful and flexible alternative to classical dynamic programming. It is especially useful when the input to a string comparison problem may not be available all at once: for example, comparison of dynamically changing strings; comparison of compressed strings; parallel string comparison. The same approach can also be applied to permutation strings, providing efficient solutions for local versions of the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) problem, and for the problem of computing a maximum clique in a circle graph. Furthermore, the semi-local LCS problem turns out to have surprising connections in a few seemingly unrelated fields, such as computational geometry and algebra of semigroups. This work is devoted to exploring the structure of the semi-local LCS problem, its efficient solutions, and its applications in string comparison and other related areas, including computational molecular biology.

We present a numerical analysis of an incompressible decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence run on a grid of 1536^3 points. The Taylor Reynolds number at the maximum of dissipation is ~1100, and the initial condition is a superposition of large scale ABC flows and random noise at small scales, with no uniform magnetic field. The initial kinetic and magnetic energies are equal, with negligible correlation. The resulting energy spectrum is a combination of two components, each moderately resolved. Isotropy obtains in the large scales, with a spectral law compatible with the Iroshnikov-Kraichnan theory stemming from the weakening of nonlinear interactions due to Alfven waves; scaling of structure functions confirms the non-Kolmogorovian nature of the flow in this range. At small scales, weak turbulence emerges with a k_{\perp}^{-2} spectrum, the perpendicular direction referring to the local quasi-uniform magnetic field.

We calculate analytically the critical connectivity $K_c$ of Random Threshold Networks (RTN) for homogeneous and inhomogeneous thresholds, and confirm the results by numerical simulations. We find a super-linear increase of $K_c$ with the (average) absolute threshold $|h|$, which approaches $K_c(|h|) \sim h^2/(2\ln{|h|})$ for large $|h|$, and show that this asymptotic scaling is universal for RTN with Poissonian distributed connectivity and threshold distributions with a variance that grows slower than $h^2$. Interestingly, we find that inhomogeneous distribution of thresholds leads to increased propagation of perturbations for sparsely connected networks, while for densely connected networks damage is reduced; the cross-over point yields a novel, characteristic connectivity $K_d$, that has no counterpart in Boolean networks. Last, local correlations between node thresholds and in-degree are introduced. Here, numerical simulations show that even weak (anti-)correlations can lead to a transition from ordered to chaotic dynamics, and vice versa. It is shown that the naive mean-field assumption typical for the annealed approximation leads to false predictions in this case, since correlations between thresholds and out-degree that emerge as a side-effect strongly modify damage propagation behavior.

Many hard algorithmic problems dealing with graphs, circuits, formulas and constraints admit polynomial-time upper bounds if the underlying graph has small treewidth. The same problems often encourage reducing the maximal degree of vertices to simplify theoretical arguments or address practical concerns. Such degree reduction can be performed through a sequence of splittings of vertices, resulting in an _expansion_ of the original graph. We observe that the treewidth of a graph may increase dramatically if the splittings are not performed carefully. In this context we address the following natural question: is it possible to reduce the maximum degree to a constant without substantially increasing the treewidth? Our work answers the above question affirmatively. We prove that any simple undirected graph G=(V, E) admits an expansion G'=(V', E') with the maximum degree <= 3 and treewidth(G') <= treewidth(G)+1. Furthermore, such an expansion will have no more than 2|E|+|V| vertices and 3|E| edges; it can be computed efficiently from a tree-decomposition of G. We also construct a family of examples for which the increase by 1 in treewidth cannot be avoided.

The study of bosonic modes that couple to the charge carriers is a key element in understanding superconductivity. Lee et al. have used atomic-resolution scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STM) in an attempt to extract the spectrum of of these modes in the high temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d and they found a mode whose frequency did not depend on doping but changed on 16O to 18O isotopic substitution leading them to suggest a role for lattice modes (phonons). A careful examination of their published data reveals a weaker but distinct feature that has all the characteristics of the magnetic excitation identified as the bosonic mode in other competing experiments. We suggest the lattice mode seen by Lee et al. is not relevant to superconductivity and is due to inelastic tunneling through the insulating oxide layer.

Second order supersymmetric approach is taken to the system describing motion of a quantum particle in a potential endowed with position-dependent effective mass. It is shown that the intertwining relations between second order partner Hamiltonians may be exploited to obtain a simple shape-invariant condition. Indeed a novel relation between potential and mass functions is derived, which leads to a class of exactly solvable model. As an illustration of our procedure, two examples are given for which one obtains whole spectra algebraically. Both shape-invariant potentials exhibit harmonic-oscillator-like or singular-oscillator-like spectra depending on the values of the shape-invariant parameter.

Mergers of spinning black holes can give recoil velocities from gravitational radiation up to several thousand km/s. A recoiling supermassive black hole in an AGN can retain the inner part of its accretion disk, providing fuel for continuing AGN activity. Using AGN in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) that show velocity shifts of the broad emission lines relative to the narrow lines, we place upper limits on the incidence of high velocity recoils in AGN. Brief but powerful flares in soft X-rays may occur when bound material falls back into the moving accretion disk.

Local spin and charge densities on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice are calculated by the Landauer-Keldysh formalism (LKF). Through the empirical tight-binding method, we show how the realistic band structure can be brought into the LKF. Taking the Bi(111) surface, on which strong surface states and Rashba spin-orbit coupling are present [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 046403 (2004)], as a numeric example, we show typical intrinsic spin-Hall accumulation (ISHA) patterns thereon. The Fermi-energy-dependence of the spin and charge transport in two-terminal nanostructure samples is subsequently analyzed. By changing E_{F}, we show that the ISHA pattern is nearly isotropic (free-electron-like) only when E_{F} is close to the band bottom, and is sensitive/insensitive to E_{F} for the low/high bias regime with such E_{F}. With E_{F} far from the band bottom, band structure effects thus enter the ISHA patterns and the transport direction becomes significant.

We study the "q-commutative" power series ring R:=k_q[[x_1,...,x_n]], defined by the relations x_ix_j = q_{ij}x_j x_i, for multiplicatively antisymmetric scalars q_{ij} in a field k. Our results provide a detailed account of prime ideal structure for a class of noncommutative, complete, local, noetherian domains having arbitrarily high (but finite) Krull, global, and classical Krull dimension. In particular, we prove that the prime spectrum of R is normally separated and is finitely stratified by commutative noetherian spectra. Combining this normal separation with results of Chan, Wu, Yekutieli, and Zhang, we are able to conclude that R is catenary. Following the approach of Brown and Goodearl, we also show that links between prime ideals are provided by canonical automorphisms. Moreover, for sufficiently generic q_{ij}, we find that R has only finitely many prime ideals and is a UFD (in the sense of Chatters).

Water ice and spin ice are important model systems in which theory can directly account for zero point entropy associated with quenched configurational disorder. Spin ice differs from water ice in the important respect that its fundamental constituents, the spins of the magnetic ions, can be removed through replacement with non-magnetic ions while keeping the lattice structure intact. In order to investigate the interplay of frustrated interactions and quenched disorder, we have performed systematic heat capacity measurements on spin ice materials which have been thus diluted up to 90%. Investigations of both Ho and Dy spin ices reveal that the zero point entropy depends non-monotonically on dilution and approaches the value of Rln2 in the limit of high dilution. The data are in good agreement with a generalization of Pauling's theory for the entropy of ice.
