Generalizing results of our previous work (where classical kinetic energy has been used) in this work (where ultra-relativistic kinetic energy is used) we suggest an original variant of the determination of minimal length (corresponding to Plank length) by formation of a microscopic (tiny) black hole. Like to some previous authors we use Heisenberg coordinatemomentum uncertainty relation, on th...

E. R. I. Abraham, W. I. McAlexander, C. A. Sackett, and Randall G. Hulet Physics Department and Rice Quantum Institute, Rice University, Houston, Texas 77251-1892 (Received 2 September 1994) Two-photon photoassociation of colliding ultracold Li atoms is used to probe the Su sad ground state of Li2. The binding energy of the least-bound state of this triplet potential, y ­ 10, is found to be 12....

The neutron coherent scattering length b c has been determined interferometrically to an uncertainty of about 5 × 10(-5) by measuring the nondispersive phase. We propose improving the uncertainty to about 10(-6) by optimizing various parameters of the interferometric experiment. Any uncertainty in the b c determination arising from possible variations in the constitution of the ambient air can ...

Viral enteric disease in poultry is an ongoing problem in many parts of the world. Many enteric viruses have been identified in turkeys and chickens, including avian astroviruses, rotaviruses, reoviruses, and coronaviruses. Through the application of a molecular screening method targeting particle-associated nucleic acid (PAN), we recently described the detection and partial characterization of...

[1] Using daily precipitation data from a network of weather stations across mainland Thailand, we apply a two-phase linear regression model to objectively determine the onset, withdrawal, and length of the summer monsoon season for the years 1951–2005. Our onset metric compares favorably with an independent determination of onset. Both onset and withdrawal are associated with expected wind and...

Taking advantage of both the high mass resolution of the COSY-11 detector and the high energy resolution of the low-emittance proton beam of the cooler synchrotron COSY, we determine the excitation function for the pp→ppη(') reaction close to threshold. Combining these data with previous results, we extract the scattering length for the η(')-proton potential in free space to be Re(a(pη(')))=0±0...

The placement of dental implants in the anterior maxilla is a challenging for the clinicians because of patients exacting esthetic demands and difficult pre existing anatomy. Esthetic implant therapy in the anterior maxilla is dependent on multiple factors including the lip drape, the implant position and the available peri implant soft tissue . The dental implants provide a realistic treatment...

A procedure to calculate the spatial fiber length in discontinuously reinforced composites from data of conventional metallographical images is developed. The method is based on the following three assumptions: first, the measured length of a reinforcing fiber in a metallographical picture is a projection of the actual fiber length; second, the alignment of short fibers is axially symmetrical (...

In humans, telomere length studies have acquired great relevance because the length of telomeres has been related to natural processes like disease, aging and cancer. However, very little is known about the influence of telomere length on the biology of wild type plants. The length of plant telomeres has been usually studied by Terminal Restriction Fragment (TRF) analyses. This technique requir...
