The lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays τ− → l−(V 0, P 0), where l = e or μ and V 0(P 0) is a neutral light vector meson (pseudo-scalar meson), are discussed in the framework of unparticle physics, to investigate the likelihood to find out evidence of existence of a nontrivial scale invariant unparticle stuff in the colliders. An effective coupling model is put forward, with a coupling hierarc...

The strangeness s = +1 pentaquark states as qqqqq̄ clusters are investigated in this letter. Starting from the inherent geometric symmetry, we analyzed the inherent nodal structure of the system. As the nodeless states, the low-lying states are picked out. Then the S-wave state (J , T ) = (12 − , 0) and P-wave state (J , T ) = (12 + , 0) may be the candidates of low-lying pentaquark states. By c...

(1.3) L = tr(F ∧ ?F ) + ψ 6Dψ +mψψ, where m ∈ C is a parameter whose phase diagram we’re interested in. Let m denote the mass of the domain wall theory, which is a 3D QCD theory, so m is real. If m is real and negative, there’s a phase transition: for m 0, the low energy theory is believed to be trivial, and for m 0 (m negative of larger magnitude), the low-energy theory is believed to be SU(N)...

A nondestructive optical method for determining the total solids content (TSC) and soluble solids content (SSC) of fresh whole prune (Prunus domestica L. ‘French’) was investigated. The method, based upon near infrared spectrophotometric techniques, could predict the TSC (r /0. 98, SEP /0.80% FW) and SSC (r /0. 96, SEP / 1.02%) of prunes. A low cost ($250

Abstract The effects of different ferrous sulfate (FeSO 4 ) concentrations on the fatty acid profile blue-green alga Arthrospira platensis cultured in Zarrouk’s medium to produce biodiesel were studied. Different (0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 g/L) 0.01 g/L examined biochemical composition acids A. . Findings revealed that highest lowest yields 0 FeSO , respectively. It was also noticed an incr...

We present a novel framework for representation learning that builds a lowdimensional latent dynamical model from high-dimensional sequential raw data, e.g., video. The framework builds upon recent advances in the amortized inference that constructs a fully-differentiable network, and takes advantage of the duality between control and inference to solve the intractable inference problem using t...

A new method is described for studying the metabolism of air-dry seeds. An initial pulse of (14)CO(2) was supplied to seeds maintained in air at controlled low water potentials for 6 months. Seeds were also infiltrated with 2-(14)C-acetate and with (14)C-l-leucine at 0 C, redried rapidly at 0 C, and maintained at controlled low water potentials for 4 to 6 weeks. The metabolism of the air-dry se...

Recent measurements of very low-energy (p L < 100 MeV/c) ¯ p annihilation on light nuclei reveal apparent suppression of annihilation upon increasing the atomic charge Z and mass number A. Using ¯ p-nucleus optical potentials V opt , fitted to ¯ p-atom energy-shifts and-widths, we resolve this suppression as due to the strong effective repulsion produced by the very absorptive V opt. The low-en...

In a recent paper we developed a method which allows to rigorously control the finitesize behavior in long cylinders near first-order phase transitions at low temperature. Here we apply this method to asymmetric transitions with two competing phases, and to the q-state Potts model as a typical model of a temperature driven transition, where q low temperature phases compete with one high tempera...
