We study the eleven-dimensional supergravity and the classical solutions corresponding to M2-branes ending on M5-branes. We obtain the generic BPS configuration representing two sets of parallel M5-branes with (1+1) commonly longitudinal directions and M2branes stretching between them. We also discuss how the brane creation is described in supergravity. email address: [email protected]...

expansion of apple growing to dry areas requires reliable approaches to select genotypes tolerant to water stress. we have simulated apple tree transpiration (ec) from different commercial orchards and compared it with actual transpiration (ea) derived from sap flow measurements. the modelling approach lies in rearranging a parameterized p–m equation and incorporating in it a stomatal conductan...

INTRODUCTION Classically, the monocytic component of acute myelomonocytic (FAB-M4) and acute monocytic/monoblastic (FAB-M5) leukemias is demonstrated by nonspecific esterase positivity in cytochemical stainings. We have previously demonstrated that non-specific esterases from normal monocytes can be determined by a chemiluminescent method. In the present study, we investigated whether this assa...

PURPOSE To investigate the expression of the muscarinic receptor (mAChR) subtypes (m1, m2, m3, m4, and m5) in the human ciliary muscle. METHODS cDNA probes specific for the m1 to m5 subtypes were used to characterize the expression of subtype-specific mRNAs by in situ hybridization and Northern blot analysis on a cell line derived from human ciliary muscle tissue (H7CM), sectioned tissue from...

We consider world-volume description of M2-branes ending on an M5-brane. The system can be described either as a solitonic solution of the M5-brane field equations or in terms of an effective string propagating in 6-dimensions. We show that the zeroth order scalar scattering amplitudes behave similarly in both pictures. The soliton solution appears to have a horizon-like throat region. Due to t...

By using O(7, 7) transformations, to deform D6–branes, we obtain half-supersymmetric bound state solutions of type IIA supergravity, containing D6, D4, D2, D0, F1-branes and waves. We lift the solutions to M-theory which gives half-supersymmetric M-theory bound states, e.g. KK6–M5–M5–M5–M2–M2–M2–MW. We also take near horizon limits for the type IIA solutions, which gives supergravity duals of 7...

An on-shell model for the supersymmetric index counting multiplicities of BPS states of the M5-brane theory is reviewed. In particular we explicitly study the tensionless Little String states appearing at intersections in a bound state of N 5-branes wrapped on a six-manifold with product topology M4 × T .

there is an increasing demand for reliable large-scale soil datato meet the requirements of models for planning of land-usesystems, characterization of soil pollution, and prediction ofland degradation. cation exchangecapacity (cec) is among the most important soil propertiesthat are required in soil databases. this paper applied a novel method for whole-soil profile predictions of cec (to 1 m)...
