The current experimental status of neutrino physics is reviewed. It contains the evidences for a non-vanishing neutrino rest mass from neutrino oscillation searches. In addition an outlook is given on determining the various mixing matrix elements and mass differences more precisely with new experiments. Of special interest is the value of the mixing angle θ13 determining the possibility of det...

The photic orientation of Limax creeping geotropically upon a vertical plate is such that the phototropic vector determining the angular deflection beta from the vertical path is proportional to log I. This is proved by the fact that with horizontal illumination tan beta is directly proportional to log I; with non-horizontal light rays from a small source the ratio See PDF for Equation is direc...

AIM To evaluate the morphology of the optic nerve head in eyes with pigmentary glaucoma. METHODS Colour stereo optic disc photographs of 62 patients with pigmentary glaucoma and 566 patients with primary open angle glaucoma were morphometrically evaluated. By prestudy selection, mean visual field defect and neuroretinal rim area were not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.8...

We study hyperbolic geodesics running from ∞ $\infty$ to a generic point, by the harmonic measure with pole at , on boundary of connectedness locus M d ${\cal M}_d$ for unicritical polynomials f c ( z ) = + $f_c(z)=z^d+c$ . It is known that parameter ∈ ∂ $c\in \partial {\cal not accessible within John angle and $\partial spirals round them infinitely many times in both directions. prove almost ...

We have explored the hypothesis that hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells may be regulated, in part, by growth inhibitory factors that alter the pattern of the growth response to serum mitogens by characterizing the effects of the potent growth inhibitor, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), on both hyperplastic and hypertrophic growth of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. T...

We propose a model of fermion masses and mixings based on $SU(5)$ grand unified theory (GUT) $D_{4}$ flavor symmetry. This is highly predictive 4D GUT with symmetry that does not contain triplet irreducible representation. The Yukawa matrices quarks charged leptons are obtained after integrating out heavy messenger fields from renormalizable superpotentials while neutrino originate the type I s...

During the Clementine 1 mission, a bistatic radar experiment measured the magnitude and polarization of the radar echo versus bistatic angle, beta, for selected lunar areas. Observations of the lunar south pole yield a same-sense polarization enhancement around beta = 0. Analysis shows that the observed enhancement is localized to the permanently shadowed regions of the lunar south pole. Radar ...

Assuming positive observation of neutrinoless double bata decay together with the CHOOZ reactor bound, we derive constraints imposed on neutrino mixing parameters, the solar mixing angle θ12 and the observable mass parameter 〈m〉β in single beta decay experiments. We show that 0.05 eV ≤ 〈m〉β ≤ 2 eV at the best fit parameters of the LMA MSW solar neutrino solution by requiring the range of the pa...

In this paper, an analytical expression is developed for the differential entropy of a sinusoid with a Beta-distributed phase angle. This particular signal model is prevalent in optical communications, however an expression for the associated differential entropy does not currently exist. The expression we derive is approximate as it relies on a series expansion for one of the key terms needed ...

We demonstrate the ability of pulsed electron double resonance (PELDOR) experiments to determine the orientation of spin labels in biological macromolecules. Thus, the distance information usually obtained from PELDOR data can be complemented by the mutual orientation of macromolecular domains. A method to determine the angle beta between the spin label normal and the interspin axis is proposed...
