In this experiment, rotational spectra are collected using a microwave spectrometer. Initially, the structure of a linear molecule OCS is determined by measuring the frequency of the zero-field J = 2 ←1 transition for isotopically-substituted OCS molecules. In the second part of the experiment, the the dipole moment of NH3 is determined from the frequencies of the (3,3) NH3 inversion when diffe...

We study the implications for electroweak baryogenesis (EWB) within the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) of present and future searches for the permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron, for neutralino dark matter, and for supersymmetric particles at high energy colliders. We show that there exist regions of the MSSM parameter space that are consistent with both present...

Neutron diffraction measurements on a single crystal of CeGe1.76 reveal a complex series of magnetic transitions at low temperature. At TN≈7 K, there is a transition from a paramagnetic state at higher temperature to an incommensurate magnetic structure characterized by a magnetic propagation vector (0 0 τ) with τ≈14 and the magnetic moment along the a axis of the orthorhombic unit cell. Below ...

A search for superconductivity in systems of CuCl/Si and CuCl2/Si leads to the observation of ferromagnetism with a Tc of 18 K in powder samples. The magnetism emerges when pure CuCl is exposed to humid air, while the observed magnetic moment depends on the exposure level. We used magnetic field modulated microwave spectroscopy, as well as SQUID magnetometry, to identify magnetic phase transiti...

Magnetic circular dichroism in the soft-x-ray absorption spectrum in the 2p→3d excitation region of the transition-metal element is measured for ferromagnetic Cu3Au-type alloys, MnPt3 , Fe3Pt and CoPt3 . The electronic state, especially the contribution of the spin and orbital angular momenta to the magnetic moment, is discussed by analyzing the results. The condition for the orbital angular mo...

In this article we introduce a new Gaussian proposal distribution to be used in conjunction with the sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method for solving non-linear filtering problem. This proposal incorporates all the information about the to be estimated current state from both the available state and observation processes. This makes it more effective than the commonly used state transition densi...

In this paper, we present a novel methodology to obtain imitative and innovative postural movements in a humanoid based on human demonstrations in a di®erent kinematic scale. We collected motion data from a group of human participants standing up from a chair. Modeling the human as an actuated 3-link kinematic chain, and by de ̄ning a multi-objective reward function of zero moment point and join...

In regulating the voluntary interruption of pregnancy, English law has accorded particular significance to two biological events. First, 'viability', the moment when a fetus is said to acquire the capacity for independent life, plays an important role in grounding restrictions on access to legal abortion later in pregnancy. Second, equally significantly but far less frequently discussed, 'impla...

We relate the frequency of the scissors mode to the moment of inertia of a trapped Bose gas at finite temperature in a semi-classical approximation. We apply these theoretical results to the data obtained in our previous study of the properties of the scissors mode of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate of Rb atoms as a function of the temperature. The frequency shifts that we measured show quen...
