We investigate the finite temperature critical dynamics of three-dimensional superconductors in the charged regime, described by a transverse gauge field coupling to the superconducting order parameter. Assuming relaxational dynamics for both the order parameter and the gauge fields, within a dynamical renormalization group scheme, we find a new dynamic universality class characterized by a fin...

Supersymmetric theories provide a promising framework for the solution of the fine-tuning and gaugehierarchy problems. ' They are the only known theories where elementary scalars are naturally light. The lightness of the Higgs boson can be understood if supersymmetry remains unbroken down to the weak scale M~. In spite of their enlarged symmetry, supersymmetric theories fail to provide any new ...

A number of factors influence the efficiency, productivity, and welfare of transportation networks. Travel demand, user costs, and facility supply costs equili-brate on various time scales under a set of pricing (taxes and tolls), investment and ownership policies. Two types of equilibria exist in a transportation network, short-run traffic equilibrium and long-run supply-demand equilibrium. Th...

The increasing need for scientific methods that allow large-scale functional studies of molecules in their natural environment is becoming more and more apparent. Automation, the handling and analysis of large sets of data all have to be considered. For this purpose Olympus have developed the scan^R Screening Station, on the basis of a custom built screening set-up that was the result of a clos...
