The search of Lagrangians, describing spinning particles, both massive and massless, has a long story. The conventional approach in this direction consists in the extension of the initial spacetime by auxiliary odd/even coordinates which equip a system with spinning degrees of freedom. There is another, less developed approach, where the spinning particle systems are described by the Lagrangian...

Spinning dust appears to be the best explanation for the anomalous emission that has been observed at ∼ 10 − 60 GHz. One of the best examples of spinning dust comes from a HII region in the Perseus molecular cloud. Observations of other HII regions also show tentative evidence for excess emission at frequencies ∼ 30 GHz, although at lower emissivity levels. A new detection of excess emission at...

Our theorems are on ordered cone metric spaces which are not necessarily normal. In the end, we describe the application of the main results in the integral equation.Although Du in [W‎. ‎S‎. ‎Du‎, ‎A note on cone metric fixed point theory and its equivalence‎, ‎Nonlinear Analysis‎, ‎72(2010) 2259-2261.]‎, ‎showed that the fixed point results in the setting of cone...

The authors measured prevalence of byssinosis in spinning and textile workers of Karachi, Pakistan, and examined association of the disease with demographic and environmental factors. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 3 spinning and textile mills and 3 colonies inhabited by spinning and textile workers. A precoded questionnaire was administered to the workers and followed by physica...

As power systems integrate more intermittent renewable generation, and as extreme weather events become more frequent with climate change, power systems are likely to require increasing amounts of spinning reserves in order to maintain reliable operation. While traditionally spinning reserves have been supplied by generators, demand-side resources can also provide reserves by increasing or decr...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of awareness of the Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top on eating behavior and obesity in Japan. Participants were 1,558 Japanese male and female adults (40.2±12.2 years) who had been registered with a social research company. The cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted via the Internet in November 2007. Potential respond...

We investigate the rheological properties of microliter quantities of the spinning material extracted ex vivo from the major ampullate gland of a Nephila clavipes spider using two new micro-rheometric devices. A sliding plate micro-rheometer is employed to measure the steady-state shear viscosity of approximately 1 microl samples of silk dope from individual biological specimens. The steady she...

Using the Teukolsky and Sasaki-Nakamura formalisms for the perterbations around a Kerr black hole, we calculate the energy flux of gravitational waves induced by a spinning particle of mass μ and spin S moving in circular orbits near the equatorial plain of a rotating black hole of mass M( μ) and spin Ma. The calculations are performed by using the recently developed post-Newtonian expansion te...

G328.4+0.2 is a moderately small (5×5) Galactic radio supernova remnant (SNR) at a distance of at least 17 kpc that has been long suggested to be Crab-like. Here we report on the detection with ASCA of the X-ray emission from the SNR. The X-ray source is faint with an observed flux of (6.0± 0.8)× 10 erg s cm over the 2–10 keV band. The emission is heavily cut-off at low energies and no flux is ...
