It is shown how a metric structure can be induced in a simple way starting with a gauge structure and a preferred volume, by spontaneous symmetry breaking. A polynomial action, including coupling to matter, is constructed for the symmetric phase. It is argued that assuming a preferred volume, in the context of a metric theory, induces only a limited modi cation of the theory. x1 Attempts to Use...

Since the emergence of electronic image sensors, stellar pictures can be easily processed by computers to identify stars and measure angles: distance between light spots on same scene or angle above visible horizon, like sextant does for celestial navigation. Adding an inclinometer camera axis, computer is now able calculate attitude angles (course, trim list) in a local coordinate system posit...

Twenty-one different strains of Euplotes of the cirrotype 10, double dargyrome morphotype were collected in marine and brackish habitats from widely varying geographic locations. The strains were cultured under similar conditions prior to fixation and staining. The morphological features considered included the cell lengths and widths, the number and position of all the ventral cim, adoral memb...

The average golfer and most professionals play with two-piece, three-piece, or four-piece layered golf balls. A typical two-layered golf ball is composed of a crosslinked rubber core (polybutadiene or polyurethane) and a rigid and glassy outer skin (poly(methacrylic acid) ionomer. A crosslinked rubber is an ideal thermodynamic material that recovers completely after extensive impact (rubber ela...

It is shown how a metric structure can be induced in a simple way starting with a gauge structure and a preferred volume, by spontaneous symmetry breaking. A polynomial action, including coupling to matter, is constructed for the symmetric phase. It is argued that assuming a preferred volume, in the context of a metric theory, induces only a limited modification of the theory. §1 Attempts to Us...

Meatification describes a momentous dietary transformation: the average person on earth today consumes nearly twice as much animal flesh every year did just two generations ago, amidst period of rapid human population growth and with marked disparities between rich poor. Further, meatification is projected to continue in coming three decades, at same time world adds another 2 billion people, co...

presence and activity of denitrifiers. These factors have The effect of NO3--N diffusion on the order and rate of debeen studied bv several workers, for example, Bremner and nitrification reaction was studied in IS soils from various locations in Shaw (1958a, 1958b), Nommik (1956), Patrick (1960), the U.S. The soils were amended with 0.5% rice straw and incubated Broadbent and Clark (1965), and...

Lasers rely on stimulated electronic transition, a quantum phenomenon in the form of population inversion. In contrast, phonon masers1–3 depend on stimulated Raman scattering and are entirely classical. Here we extend Raman lasers1–3 to rely on capillary waves, which are unique to the liquid phase of matter and relate to the attraction between intimate fluid particles. We fabricate resonators t...
