One of the most universal tools for the ab initio solution of the nuclear many-body problem is the No-Core Shell Model (NCSM). It is widely used for the description of ground states and low-lying excited states of nuclei throughout the p-shell [1]. Apart from energies, detailed spectroscopic information and form-factors can be extracted from the resulting many-body eigenstates. The limitation o...

Assembly of infectious human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) proceeds in two steps. Initially, an immature virus with a spherical capsid shell consisting of uncleaved Gag polyproteins is formed. Extracellular proteolytic maturation causes rearrangement of the inner virion structure, leading to the conical capsid of the infectious virus. Using an in vitro assembly system, we show that the ...

In engineering applications, especially in the field of modern military defence, the cylindrical shells, conical shells and coupled conical-cylindrical shells are basically simplified models of many types of weapons and equipment, such as aircraft, missiles, and submarines. The study of free vibrational characteristics of cylindrical shells is comprehensive. Initially, researchers1-5 investigat...

Abstract: The off-shell statistical-mechanical entropy for a massless scalar field in a D-dimensional Rindler-like space-time is investigated within the conical Euclidean approach in the manifold Cβ × MN , Cβ being the 2-dimensional cone, making use of the zeta-function regularisation. Due to the presence of conical singularities, it is shown that the relation between the zeta-function and the ...
