We present a framework for grand unification in which the grand unified symmetry is broken spontaneously by strong gauge dynamics, and yet the physics at the unification scale is described by (weakly coupled) effective field theory. These theories are formulated, through the gauge/gravity correspondence, in truncated 5D warped spacetime with the UV and IR branes setting the Planck and unificati...

S U M M A R Y Precise determination of the topography of a major internal boundary of the Earth is difficult because of the trade-off with the unknown velocity structure above it. However, the discoveries of the inner core (IC) rotation and high-quality teleseismic waveform doublets make the precise mapping of the topography of the inner core boundary (ICB) possible. Here we examine IC refracte...

I discuss methods to identify the presence of dicrete symmetries in the two-Higgsdoublet model by observing the masses and the cubic and quartic interactions of the scalars. The symmetries considered are a Z2 symmetry under which φ2 → −φ2, and a CP symmetry which enforces real coupling constants in the Higgs potential. Those symmetries are spontaneously broken, and the Z2 symmetry may also be s...

Density functional theory ,(DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the properties ofcarbon decorated (C-decorated) models of boron nitride (BN) nanocones. To this aim, the apex andtip of nanocone have been substituted by the carbon atoms to represent the C-decorated models. Theresults indicated that dipole moments and energy gaps could reveal the effects of C-decorations onthe pro...

The dependence of the superconducting gaps in epitaxial Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 thin films on the nominal doping x (0.04 x 0.15) was studied by means of point-contact Andreev-reflection spectroscopy. The normalized conductance curves were well fitted by using the two-dimensional Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk model with two nodeless, isotropic gaps—although the possible presence of gap anisotropies cannot b...

INTRODUCTION Although the standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, single-agent therapy is still preferred in elderly patients. Comparison of the efficacy of various combinations of doublets with single-agent chemotherapy is somehow contradictory. This study conducted a systematic review to evaluate the efficacy and tole...

The rotational spectrum of 2-fluoro-4-chlorotoluene was studied in the frequency range 4 to 24 GHz by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Fine torsional splittings into doublets were found for all transitions due methyl internal rotation hindered with a barrier about 230 cm−1. In combination quadrupole coupling hyperfine on same order magnitude originating from chlorine nucleus, rich spec...

The development of a theory of prospective guidance of movement general tau theory is described. The theory deals with the purposive guidance of bodily movements, including internal movements, by means of the patterns of flow in sensory arrays and the patterns of flow of electrical energy within the nervous system. The central idea is that movement is guided by tau-coupling action-gaps. All pur...
