We show how to relate Schramm-Loewner Evolutions (SLE) to highestweight representations of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras that are singular at level two, using the conformal restriction properties studied by Lawler, Schramm and Werner in [33]. This confirms the prediction from conformal field theory that two-dimensional critical systems are related to degenerate representations.

This review will provide an updated overview of the neuroendocrine response to critical illness. Specifically, the current evidence for "stress steroid" administration will be examined, as well as interventional glucose control during critical illness. The emergency physician will also find relevance in the alterations of thyroid hormones that occur in the face of severe illness or trauma.

Anisotropic superconductivity has been studied in a variety of one-dimensional, ' intercalated, s and artificially prepared" " systems. Much of the experimental work in these systems is related to measurements of the temperature and angular dependence of the upper critical fields H, 2. In many cases, the experiments determine the critical field at which surface superconductivity nucleates, i.e....

I construct a spherically symmetric solution for a massless real scalar field minimally coupled to general relativity which is discretely self-similar (DSS) and regular. This solution coincides with the intermediate attractor found by Choptuik in critical gravitational collapse. The echoing period is ∆ = 3.4453 ± 0.0005. The solution is continued to the future self-similarity horizon, which is ...

In a new experiment at the Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC a low-emittance 46.6-GeV electron beam is brought into collision with terawatt pulses of 1054 nm or 527 nm wavelength from a Nd:glass laser. Peak laser intensities of 10 W/cm have been achieved corresponding to a value of 0.6 for the parameter = eE=m!0c. In this case an electron that crosses the center of the laser pulse has near-unit int...

A field spectroscopy metadata standard is defined as those data elements that explicitly document the spectroscopy dataset and field protocols, sampling strategies, instrument properties and environmental and logistical variables. Standards for field spectroscopy metadata affect the quality, completeness, reliability, and usability of datasets created in situ. Currently there is no standardized...

The resistivity of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 was measured as a function of temperature, down to 25 mK and in magnetic fields of up to 16 T applied perpendicular to the basal plane. With increasing field, we observe a suppression of the non-Fermi liquid behavior, rho approximately T, and the development of a Fermi liquid state, with its characteristic rho=rho(0)+AT2 dependence. Th...

Abstract Using a 11.4 GHz, 50-MW, <1 μs, pulsed power source and a TE013-like mode copper cavity, we have been measuring critical magnetic fields of superconductors for accelerator cavity applications. This device can eliminate both thermal and field emission effects due to a short pulse and no electric field at the sample surface. A model of the system is presented in this paper along with a d...

Motivated by the recent discovery of the cobalt oxide superconductors, we calculate the temperature dependence of the upper critical field on a triangular lattice. Using the lattice version of the Gor’kov equations we investigate how the applied magnetic field affects singlet and triplet types of superconductivity. We show that in a wide range of model parameters not only Zeeman coupling, but a...
