For an algebraic group G, Anderson originally defined the notion of MV-polytopes in [And03], images of MV-cycles, defined in [MV07], under the moment map of the corresponding affine Grassmannian. It was shown by Kamnitzer in [Kam07] and [Kam05] that these polytopes can be described via tropical relations and give rise to a crystal structure on the set of MV-cycles. Another crystal structure can...

Thermodynamics of two-flavor QCD at finite temperature and density is studied on a 163 ×4 lattice, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and the clover improved Wilson quark action. In the simulations along lines of constant mPS/mV, we calculate the Taylor expansion coefficients of the heavy-quark free energy with respect to the quark chemical potential (μq) up to the second order...

Weak pseudo BL-algebras (WPBL-algebras) are non-commutative fuzzy structures which arise from pseudot-norms (i.e. the non-commutative versions of triangular norms). In this paper, we study the pairs of weak negations on WPBL-algebras, extending the case of weak negations on Esteva–Godo MTL-algebras. A geometrical characterization of the pairs of weak negations in bounded chains is provided. Our...

An electrochemical immunosensor based on screen-printed gold working electrode with onboard carbon counter and silver-silver chloride pseudo-reference electrode for Salmonella typhimurium detection is described in this paper. Monoclonal anti-S. typhimurium antibody was immobilized using physical and covalent immobilization via amine coupling of carboxymethyldextran on the surface of the gold wo...
